Revive it!Wenhao Press

Although the award-winning works of the New Arts and Culture Awards were announced in November, the time for accepting the awards was set in March in the spring, with a quarter in between.

"Revival!Bunhao Publishing House's rating of Hoshinosha also increased from LV7 to LV8 due to the results of the New Art and Culture Award, and its popularity also increased significantly.

Since winning the highest prize of the New Arts and Culture Award, Oda Inu, who used to live a leisurely life at Hoshinosha, suddenly transformed into the busiest dog during this period.

When the booklet of "The Kindness of the Husband and Wife" was published, invitations to book signings from various bookstores were sent out one after another. Of course, Oda Inu, who is a dog, declined them one by one.

However, according to the requirements of bookstores and distributors, Oda Dog still signed a large number of title pages.In the past, I often saw other dogs signing autographs. This is the first time that Oda has experienced this feeling in person.The big brown-red dog wrote for a long time, and the dog's paws trembled involuntarily when resting, but he still carefully wrote each signature stroke by stroke.

Because he is liked and accepted, he also wants to repay him well.

"Monthly Literature" also published a dialogue with the author of "The Good Couple".The experience of the Oda dog along the way will surely bring confidence and courage to those who are interested in this journey.

As early as the end of October, the performance of the stage play "Yasha Pond" has been set for December.

Tickets for the show were in short supply and were sold out within half an hour of the pre-sale.Those who could not get tickets jointly petitioned online, which resulted in the extension of the performance from half a month to one and a half months, until January of the new year.

In mid-December, the stage play "Yasha Pond" was officially staged.

Before the performance started, Hoshinosha received a package jointly sent by the Stellar Theater Troupe and Kisaragi Runo.In addition to some performance souvenirs, there is also an envelope containing the tickets for the box on the second floor of the first day of the performance.

Considering that the writers of Hoshinosha all adopt the style of not showing their faces in public, the performance venue chosen by the Stellar Troupe is a grand theater with independent boxes.A special access card was also sent along with it. You can enter and exit the theater through a special passageway. If you manage the time well, you can avoid bumping into anyone.

Hualichun checked it on the phone.Soon, her hand holding the ticket began to tremble.

"The tickets for this box..." Hualichun raised her head abruptly, and tremblingly said to the Jinghua dog and the Hongye dog who came over curiously, "Now it's all sold out online, and the second-hand transfer price has exceeded 30 yen!"

"Besides, this is the box with the best location on the first day of the performance, so the price should be more expensive..."

Hualichun subconsciously swallowed a mouthful of saliva, with sweat on her face: "Based on this, I will at least send five celebratory wreaths on the first day of the performance... no, ten..."

"A box can accommodate up to ten people... Even if we go together, it's more than enough..."

When she raised her head again, she suddenly found that there were more dogs around unknowingly: "Huh?"

Looking at the expectant dog heads, Hualichun opened his mouth, and finally said: "Although it is a bit risky, teachers... shall we go to the stage play together?"

***

12 month 16 day.

On the first day of the performance, the theater was packed.There are a total of seven boxes on the second floor. Except for the most central box, which has never opened the curtain, the audience who reserved the rest of the boxes has already arrived.

At ten o'clock in the morning, a beam of light suddenly shone on the dark stage.

The show has begun.

The auditorium was dark, and the audience was silent, while the actors on the stage, like the only constantly moving celestial body in this universe called the theater, shone and dazzled.

Until then, the curtain of the central box was slowly opened when no one was paying attention.In the darkness, a small figure of a child and a dozen pairs of bright eyes around her appeared faintly: "..."

In the box, the red leaf dog turned his head and picked up the nape of the mirror dog, letting the white kimono puppy lie on his back, so that he could see it more clearly.

Caught off guard, the mirror dog instinctively felt uneasy and wanted to struggle.But in the next second, the scene on the stage made her forget about struggling, and her little paws hugged Hongye Dog's neck tightly instead.

She saw that the characters in her pen came alive on the stage, shining like stars.Akira, Lily, Xueyuan, Baixue... They all have their own weight, their own temperature, and their own feelings.

The world that was born in her pen in the past is now extremely real and moving, rushing to her eyes with a roar.

A tribute to literature and writers.

The performance on the stage caught Hualichun's eyes.Soon, she withdrew her gaze and scanned the auditorium that was full of seats.

On the first day of the performance, the audience and the media came to watch the performance with various purposes.Some people came for "Yasha Pond", some came for the Stellar Troupe, some came for Kisaragi Luno, and some just grabbed tickets for the show with a herd mentality.However, the performances on the stage are enough to satisfy the audience no matter what purpose they come for.

Being able to see one's own work being interpreted with such heart, no matter what kind of writer you are, will never forget it in your life.

Thinking of this, Hualichun with glowing eyes subconsciously hugged the puppy next to him, and whispered, "Mr. Jinghua, have you seen it? This is also your stage!"

Huali Chunzheng was talking enthusiastically, and suddenly felt something wrong with the puppy's hand in her arms.The mirror dog is a puppy with standing ears, but the dog's head touched in the hand has drooping ears.

She turned her head and found that all the dogs in the box had looked away from the stage, but were staring straight at her.Not far away, the Jinghua dog standing on the back of the red leaf dog has bright eyes and is silent.

Since the mirror dog is there, then what I have been hugging and talking about for a long time is...

Hualichun lowered her head, just in time to meet the eyes of the brown squinting puppy who was happy to be hugged and watched the stage play.

Random Dog flicked its tail happily and lowered its voice: "Wow."

Hualichun stared blankly at Ranbugou, and couldn't help but pursed her mouth into an "H" shape: "..."

……

At the end of the first day of the performance, when the actors called their curtain call, Hualichun quietly led the Gouzi teachers through a special passage and left quietly.

When she came back alone, the media meeting after the first day of the performance was not over yet, and the participating actors were all dressed in stage attire to answer questions from the reporters.Because of Runo Kisaragi's joining, the reporters were interested in more questions, and even the meeting had to be extended.

When everything was over, the actors gradually returned to the backstage, and the condolences ordered by Huali Chun just happened to be delivered.But Ichinose Yukina, who walked off the stage, stopped her suddenly before she even took off her clothes and makeup.

"Miss Huali, I have something I want to talk to you about, can I spare a moment?" Ichinose Yukina asked.

Is it related to the performance?Although Hualichun was a little puzzled, she still nodded.

After following Ichinose Yukina into the dressing room, Jun Hanagi saw her walk to her dressing table and take out a magazine from the drawer.

It is the "Monthly Literature" that was released just yesterday, with a total No. 20 issue.

"Actually, after I just finished reading the magazine yesterday, I felt like I couldn't vomit." Ichinose Yukina said while opening "Monthly Literature", pointing to one of the articles, "I want to share with you Talk about this article."

Huali Jun looked at the article, and immediately guessed what Ichinose Yukina meant.Because she pointed to the work of Miyazawa Inu published in this issue.

"Night on the Galactic Railway".

Different from his debut poem "Fear the Wind and Rain", "Night on the Milky Way Railway" is a fairy tale about life and death.The two children boarded the train together between life and death, and watched the magnificent Milky Way and stars all night, but in the end, they had to be separated because of the difference between life and death.

The dreamlike and beautiful Milky Way, burning constellations, magnificent nebulae, bottomless black holes, fields, forests and flower fields in the universe are all illusions between life and death in the end.The sadder the scene, the more beautiful it is; the more beautiful it is, the sadder it is.

In the end, the teenager separated from his friends, left the train and returned to his own life.But there is still hope for everything, and it is not over yet, because the Milky Way is so beautiful.

"I want to put "Galaxy Railway Night" on stage." Ichinose Yukina said solemnly.

Huali Chun thought that it really was so.

Ichinose Yukina's hand holding the magazine was a little slippery from sweat.She increased her strength a bit, and emphasized in a more emphatic tone: "Of course, I don't mean to ask Hoshinosha to hand over "Night of the Milky Way Railway" to our Star Troupe...""

"To put it bluntly, whether it is "Yasha Pond" that is currently being performed, or this "Galaxy Railway Night", sooner or later, it will definitely be staged repeatedly by countless theater troupes, ranging from large-scale stage plays to elementary school students. Matsuri performances, no matter how time passes, will last forever. Because they are masterpieces.”

"But I want Stellar to be the first to perform them."

The moment I read this fairy tale, the blood of Ichinose Yukina, a stage actor, was rushing for it.She was fascinated by "Night on the Milky Way Railway".

Hualichun was silent for a few seconds, and couldn't help asking: "Why did you rush to ask me the day after the magazine was released and the first day of the performance? Anyway, it's too hasty, right?"

Ichinose Yukina paused, and looked back at the stage where a performance had just been held.

"I want to use the stage play of "Galaxy Railway Night" to hit the Japan Golden Stage Cup." She said, looking at the stage.

Hualichun was stunned: "Golden Stage Cup?"

The Golden Stage Cup, a special award for stage plays, will usher in the eighth judging session next year.The award system of the Golden Stage Cup is similar to the Tony Awards in the United States, but with fewer awards, mainly divided into two major departments: drama and musical.

In the seven Golden Stage Cups so far, the winners of the Best Drama Award and the Best Musical Theater Award have all been large-scale troupes with a long history without exception.Small independent theater troupes like the Stellar Theater Troupe, which have a small number of people and have been established for a short time, basically missed the most important awards.

"I have already discussed with Gen-san." Ichinose Yukina explained, "The performance of "Yashaike" used Kisaragi as a foreign aid. Although we are not dissatisfied with her, but in this case to participate in the Golden Stage Cup The selection is still not perfect. However, this time the public performance let us have no worries, at least in the next one or two years, we can play freely in performance.”

"If you start preparing for "Galaxy Railway Night" after performing "Yasha Pond" and "Flying with the Wind" scheduled with Bailang Club, it can be completed within the performance time frame stipulated by the Golden Stage Cup next year. "

She slammed her fist on the dressing table: "Every time, a large opera troupe like Takarazuka wins the award. But this time, I want to challenge them to see!"

"I also want to know how far an independent small theater troupe formed for dreams and freedom can go."

Huali Jun looked up at Ichinose Yukina who was a full head taller than her.In her eyes, reflected the figure of a powerful careerist.

And the goal of this careerist is to win the Golden Stage Cup and the Takarazuka Troupe.

"I will seek the opinion of Teacher Miyazawa." Jun Hanarashi was not overwhelmed by Ichinose Yukina's aura, but said cautiously, "As long as Teacher Miyazawa agrees, I have no problem."

Even though I couldn't get an immediate answer, Ichinose Yukina still had a smile on her face: "You will definitely not reject me. Because we who challenged Takarazuka today are like you who challenged Shiraangsha in the past."

***

After telling Miyazawa Inu about the Star Troupe's proposal, the yellow-and-white puppy tilted his head, recalled the performance he had seen, and soon agreed happily with a bark.

It seems that Miyazawa Inu is quite satisfied with the performance of the Star Troupe.

Hanagarashi sent an email to Ichinose Yukina.Subsequently, both parties announced the cooperation status of next year's "Galaxy Railway Night".

"Night on the Milky Way Railway" has attracted the attention of the industry as early as after it was published, and many troupes wanted to get the first chance to act.It's just that the Stellar Troupe has the advantage of being close to the water and the platform. On the second day after the announcement, they immediately started to move after the performance.Other troupes who were late because of scheduling, contracts and other matters had to sigh.

After the performance on the first day, many media and the audience who watched the performance praised the stage play of "Yasha Pond" one after another, and they did not hesitate to express their praise.Kisaragi Luno's performance certainly pushed Lily's beauty to the peak, but the Star Theater Troupe's purpose of inviting her as a foreign aid has also been achieved-the talents of young actors in the troupe are finally revealed, and it is no longer around the director Yuanzhe and stage plays. Queen Ichinose Yukina's bleak planet, instead, became a star that stood alongside them, shining bright and constant.

After the great success of the performance of "Yasha Pond" and the release of the preview of the stage play "Galaxy Railway Night", the stage play has promoted the growth of book sales to an extremely frightening speed.The No. 20 issue of "Monthly Literature" published in December that published "Galaxy Railway Night" sold more than 150 million copies in the first week of release. However, the sales growth trend has not slowed down at all.

Even though "Literary Times" of the same period published the unpublished short story of Koyama Kaya, who won the only lifetime achievement award in the literature department of this year's New School Award, its sales volume was still surpassed by "Monthly Literature" No. period exceeded.

This is the first time in recent years that a magazine has surpassed "Literary Times" in terms of sales.And it's a literary magazine of the same kind.

On that day, according to the national book sales list and the ranking list of the magazine department based on the joint statistics of the bookstore network and online system, the unshakable name of the magazine that ranked first changed in an instant.
