Yunyang Novelist Luanbu

In the middle of summer vacation.

It has been a month since I met Ranpo.

Morishita Yumori calculated carefully with his fingers that the time he spent with Edogawa Ranpo did not exceed 48 hours, but every time he met, he felt as if he was seeing Edogawa Ranpo for the first time.It is the same at this moment.

I heard that after Ranbu came back from Yokohama, he was sulking and locked himself in the house for two days without going out. The teachers and students of Jugao felt that something was going to happen, so they spent time coaxing Ranbu to go out every day, but they had to choose to avoid being targeted. There are actually not many rumors about Edogawa Ranpo, so he stayed near Manga.

The rumors about Edogawa Ranpo began on the second day of the Tokyo Writers Conference. Although Morishita Amori had taken precautions against this, the great writer Sajiro Yamamoto had already prepared for it. Many reporters actually did not want to offend Zuojiro Yamamoto, one of the representatives of the Wen clan, is quite unfavorable in the situation.

From "Two Cents" author Ryunosuke Komatsu participated in the writer exchange meeting that only famous writers in Tokyo could participate, to Ryunosuke Komatsu's disrespectful remarks to the great writer Sajiro Yamamoto, to Ryunosuke Komatsu in front of all major writers. The writer was violent in the face of his senior Yamamoto Sajiro, and it was even reported that Komatsu Ryunosuke was underage drinking.In addition, the next day, Ryunosuke Komatsu won the Newcomer Award of the Seigakukan, and a lot of news broke out that the newcomer writer won the prize through the back door through connections, which provided more news material for the reporters who have no wind and no waves.

As a result, the scandal became bigger and bigger like a snowball, and even Seigakukan's shares plummeted because of its strong support for Komatsu Ryunosuke.

Two weeks before the results of the Naoki Award, Seigakukan was the publishing house under the most pressure.They couldn't even get in touch with Edogawa Ranpo, and they only learned from Noctua Masamune that Edogawa Ranpo was so hit by the rumors that he didn't want to go out, and he didn't even want to talk.

This news was almost a devastating blow to Qing Xue Guan.The editor-in-chief can almost be imagined—Ranpo is still young, lacks social experience, and has rarely been hit. Surrounded by public opinion led by Yamamoto Zuojiro this time, I am afraid that he will be autistic from now on and don't want to write again.This is not impossible, because they have seen too many similar writers.

And Sajiro Yamamoto, who heard the news, terminated the contract with Seigakukan in advance. At this time, the proposal to terminate the contract is tantamount to adding insult to injury for Seigakukan.When Seigakukan is in trouble, it is shameless to terminate the contract early, but many readers also support Sajiro Yamamoto not to stay in this unscrupulous publishing house that treats old authors harshly.

What makes people even more desperate is that they don’t know where Sajiro Yamamoto received the message. Knowing about Ranpo’s multiple drafts, he suppressed “Mirror Hell” and “Red Room” at the same time, saying that he had already contacted someone. writer.Perhaps Sajiro Yamamoto only wanted one article, but he was afraid of problems, so he also reserved two articles together. If one article cannot be proved to be written by Ranpo Edogawa, there will be another article.

Because Sajiro Yamamoto had already said that he had contacted the writer, the other jury nominated "Mirror Hell", "Red Room", "Two Cents" and "The Man Traveling with Stickers" for the Naoki Award.Since the establishment of the Naoki Award this time, it is the first time that four new writers have been welcomed in one breath, and the new writers are all underage, which is an extremely rare gimmick.

Not only Nikmai TV, but also major local TV stations are broadcasting this news, and even major variety shows are also discussing this matter.

However, the more enthusiastic the outside world is, the more it looks like a bomb about to detonate to Qingxueguan.

Sajiro Yamamoto will definitely reveal that Ranpo has multiple manuscripts. I am afraid that due to social pressure, Ranpo may be banned by the Naoki Award from now on. If it is more serious, it may cause dissatisfaction among other writers, and may even be asked to say that Ranpo Can no longer take any literary awards.Then, Luanbu's literary path is basically over.

Murphy's Law says so.

The more you worry about something, the easier it is for something to happen.

Sure enough, when the award-winning works of this year's Naoki Award were about to be evaluated, Sajiro Yamamoto revealed to the society that the writer "Ryunosuke Komatsu" had multiple manuscripts, ignoring the value and significance of the literary award, and contemptuous of the literary seniors and the latter. Unprecedented and unprecedented.The Wenchao headed by Yamamoto Zuojiro spoke harshly.

So the Naoki Award-winning works quickly entered the state of re-selection.

After knowing the news, Morishita Yumori sat in the publishing house for two days and one night, did not go home, and no longer contacted Edogawa Ranpo, but kept replaying every scene of getting along with Ranpo in his head throughout the whole process.

At first, Morishita Yumori and Edogawa Ranpo met because they were moved by "Two Cents", and they had the impression of Ranpo as a talented young writer.At that time, he was thinking that no matter what kind of request Luanbu made, he would respond in one go, in order that this person could turn things around for the Qing Academy.

Then they met with Ranpo for the first time in Yokohama, and Morishita Yumori mainly asked the editor-in-chief to meet with Ranpo.But at that time, Ranpo pointed out Morishita Yumori's purpose straight to the point. At that time, Morishita Yusen thought that Ranpo was essentially a person who was good at seeing through the truth and was extremely intelligent.

Then there were the third and fourth meetings. Although Ranpo was arrogant, he still had the impression of being a righteous and reliable person.

At that time, Morishita Yumori shifted from the hope that Ranpo was a seigakukan, to wanting to pave the way for Ranpo to become a novelist.

Faced with such a situation now, Luanbu may hide in the school, let alone go out.

Morishita Yumori began to think, if he had restrained Ranpo and prevented him from conflicting with Yamamoto Zuojiro, would it be that Ranpo is now proudly receiving the award, and his career in the literary world has been smooth sailing ever since.Now even with Kudo Yusaku as escort, Ranpo's road ahead is not so smooth.

……

At this moment, Morishita Yusen's personal phone rang.Shown is the phone number of Noctuma Zhengdao.As soon as he saw this number, Morishita Yusen immediately wiped his face with his hands and cheered up again.He couldn't convey his emotions to Ranpo.

Even if the Qing Academy is reorganized, Morishita Yumori, as Ranpo's editor, will definitely pave the way for him.Fortunately, Ranpo has never shown his face in public. He is still young, and it is entirely possible to make a comeback, as long as the limelight passes.

Before Morishia Yusen could speak, Luanbu's energetic voice rose up.

"Morishita!"

"Ah, eh, um, what's the matter?" Senxia Yusen was yelled at by Luanbu, and he was stunned.

"I've come to your publishing house. The entrance of your publishing house is so chaotic. It's full of people. Do you want to pick me up?"

When the retrial was proposed, the editor-in-chief had already asked the staff members of the publishing house to take a vacation in advance. The news of the chaos before had caused the telephone lines of most publishing houses to be unplugged. Now there are basically no people in the publishing house. Editors will be besieged by journalists seeking information, affecting normal work and daily life.

"Why did you come to the publishing house?"

Morishita Yusen walked while talking, and even took advantage of the situation to straighten his hair.

It's the first time he has seen people so untidy since he grew up so big.

How can he be decent now, he will try to be decent.

"Come from the underground garage, don't be seen."

Edogawa Ranpo's voice was very crisp: "I just came to see you, I heard that the phone number of the publishing house is no longer available."

Senxia Yusen listened to Luanbu full of vitality, but he was also a little worried: "How are you recently?"

"Okay." Luanbu smiled, "Uncle and the others bought me a lot of delicious food."

"Really?" Morishita Yusen felt that he had already entered the state of a parent in advance, even though he was under a lot of pressure, he was inexplicably relieved to see the "child" carefree. "That's good."

"How are you then?" Luanbu asked back.

Hearing this sentence, Morishita Yusen smiled wryly: "At least I can eat and sleep." But their editor-in-chief is almost bald.

Ranbu in the underground parking lot was still wearing a bright red haori, and next to him was a boy with Chufa holding a three-colored cat.Ranbu saw Mori Xia Yusen glanced at himself, and then introduced: "This is the Zhongyuan Chuya I mentioned last time. He wanted to come to you last time, but the publishing house has stopped letting people in. Now he takes me Come in."

"Hello." Morishita Yumori shook Nakahara Chuya's hand, saw the bangs hanging down in disorder, and continued, "Your hair is getting longer and longer, you need to cut it so that it will be neater."

"Have you watched the news?" Ranbu asked.

"What news?" Morishita Yusen didn't know what Ranpo was referring to.

"Everyone is praising me, didn't you see it?" Ranbu looked at Senxia Yusen in shock, obviously caring about him so much at ordinary times, didn't he pay attention to his news now?

Morishita Yusen didn't quite understand: "What?!"

While he was puzzled, he turned on the news feed on his mobile phone - the fact that Ryunosuke Komatsu's four articles were shortlisted for the Naoki Award at the same time caused heated discussions among young people.

On the forums of "supporting" and "opposing" Ryunosuke Komatsu's debut, most young people voted to support Ryunosuke Komatsu, and thought this young writer was too handsome. Four articles were shortlisted for the Naoki Award at the same time. Who can do it? to this point?In any case, it is impossible to get it out of the back door through relationships.

"I thought this maniac before, but now I realize that this maniac is justified."

"Where can I buy books? It's amazing! There are only five nominations for the Naoki Award, and four of them have been shortlisted! This is a master!"

"Master Komatsu said: This year's contestants are just like that."

"Why do I feel so good for no reason!"

"This writer must have been bound to the male lead system of Shuangwen, that's great!"

No matter how severe the suppression was before, the rebound is just as severe now.

How much I thought before was ignoring common sense and deviant, but now I think I am unique and stand out from the crowd.

A Tokyo Metropolitan Seigakukan New Humanities Award winner is now being closely watched by people across the country.

Senxia Yusen's heart was beating violently in his chest, but he had already predicted that something terrible was about to happen.As if confirming Mori Yusen's thoughts, the cell phone rang suddenly—it was the editor-in-chief's call.

"Ryunosuke Komatsu, the winner of the Newcomer Award, compiled four short essays into a single volume. Let's start with a printing volume of 100 million copies. Ryunosuke Komatsu is now popular all over Japan, and everyone is talking about him."

"Morishita!" the editor-in-chief suddenly shouted.

"Ah."

The editor-in-chief took a deep breath: "Our Youth Academy is now live!"

"Ok!"

Seeing that after Morishia Yusen hung up the phone, before Ranbu had time to speak, he was hugged heavily by Morishia Yusen.

"Congratulations on your debut. I will teach you a lot in the days to come."

"Okay."

As for what happened in the middle, I have to go out of my way to talk about it in detail.

For him, now is the first step.

Winning a literary award is not the purpose of Luanpo.

Ranpo himself won an award in Youkexin City and got soft. The gimmick of the award was only to help him get more manuscript fees, but it didn't help much.Now that we have come to the new world, it is equivalent to starting a new round.So this time, what Ranpo has to do is to set off a frenzy of mystery novels.

The prosperity of the world is for profit; the hustle and bustle of the world is for profit.

Ranpo is very clear that not all creators like mystery novels and writing like him.But relying on him alone as a core writer is not enough.If he can lead a wave of reading, then creators know that mystery novels can be sought after and loved, and they can get a lot of money benefits, then they will start writing mystery novels one after another.

The random fantasy city can take shape.

Seeing Mori Xia Yusen walking quickly back to the office of Qingxueguan, and Zhongyuan Zhong, who was walking behind with the three-flowered cat in his arms, had no idea about the printing of 100 million copies just now. He asked, "Then how much money will this make?"

Ranpo is not very clear about this.He was about to say that he didn't know, when Morishita Yusen, who heard the Central Plains question, turned around and laughed.

"After deducting taxes, Mr. Ranbu should be able to make a net profit of [-] million."

Central Plains also fell silent for an instant.
