Revive it!Wenhao Press

5 minute later.

Huali pure use "Revival!After buying a wall-mounted TV, I finally found the first TV station under the reminder of Kamado Tanjiro.

The movement attracted the dogs.Soon, the dogs staying around the Hoshino Club gathered together and looked at the TV screen curiously.Dazai Inu and Chuya Inu, who have contributed works, are also among them.

The first TV station is broadcasting cultural news.After a half-month submission period and a month of review, the members of the selection committee screened out all the submitted works to be shortlisted for the Classical Art and Literature Award.And on the big screen behind the host, there is a list of shortlisted works appearing one by one following her report.

Due to the delay in buying a TV, more than half of the list of works has been read.Huali Jun quickly browsed the list of the literature department that has appeared, and at the same time did not forget to ask Kamado Tanjiro on the phone: "Has the name of the work submitted by Hoshinosha appeared?"

"Not yet." Kado Tanjirou's tone was clearly nervous, "Ah, Takeo, Shigeru, don't crowd in front of the TV, or you won't be able to see the screen..."

"It's okay." Hua Lichun quickly calmed down, ""Setting Sun" and "Song of Sheep" are absolutely impossible not to be shortlisted candidates. These are works that are good enough to compete for the highest award."

At this moment, the host is thinking about the title of the next work: "Kite" by Mr. Kaya Koyama."

"Sure enough, this time, Mr. Xiaoshan, who is known as the 'king of the short story world', also joined the award competition. The awards in the department must be within easy reach for the king of short stories. Can he also include the highest prize..."

In the evaluation of the host, Hualichun couldn't help being startled.

Sure enough, Mr. Kaya Koyama also contributed to this year's Classical Art and Literature Award.But it's not "Hazy Moon Night", but another article called "Kite"?

At this moment, the host continued to read: "...the next shortlisted work is "The Setting Sun" by Osamu Dazai."

"Ms. Dazai is a newcomer who debuted this year. "Setting Sun" is also his debut work. It is extremely rare in the history of this award to be shortlisted for the Classical Art and Literature Award with his debut work." The normal person said.

Although I think it is not surprising that both "Setting Sun" and "Song of Sheep" are masterpieces that won the highest award in terms of quality, and it is a matter of course that they are only shortlisted candidates, but seeing this scene, the calm Huali Chun My palms were still a little sweaty.

Dazai also appeared very calm.The sand-colored dog sat on the spot, lowered his head and smoothed the fur on his paws.

But Chuya Inu, whose name hadn't been pronounced yet, became irritable because "Setting Sun" appeared first.Looking at Dazai Inu's appearance, the orange-white puppy hair stood up in displeasure, and whimpered involuntarily from its throat.

The host smiled and said: "Next, it will be the last shortlisted work in the literature department... Teacher Nakahara Chuya's poem "Song of Sheep"."

The little orange dog was taken aback for a moment, then suddenly raised its head and barked loudly: "Wow, woof!"

"It's also a newcomer who just debuted this year, and it's also a talented debut... How far can the works of these two teachers go in the classical art and literature awards? Let us wait and see."

Listening to the host's words, Chuya Inu fell into the excitement of being shortlisted and the disgust of being compared with Dazai Inu. His little paws slapped on the ground and spun impatiently on the spot.

The host turned around and showed the big screen where all the shortlisted works were announced, and said at the same time: "In two weeks, the winner of the award will be announced."

"... Definitely get the highest award." Looking at the host who was still explaining knowledge related to the classical art and literature award on the TV screen, Hualichun whispered to himself.

The Oda Inu standing far away at the door swayed slightly with its pricked ears, glanced at Dazai Inu and Chuya Inu, and looked away silently.

The large brown-red dog turned around silently, and walked out of the room with its head lowered.

At the same time, a crisp notification tone sounded from the handheld.

[From "Revival!Reminder from Wenhao Publishing House: The "Setting Sun" and "Song of Sheep" you selected have been shortlisted for the Classical Art and Literature Award, please make persistent efforts! 】

***

Summer vacation is finally over.

"Good morning, Tanjiro! Good morning, Nezuko!"

After arriving at the school in the morning, Hualichun greeted the Zaomen brothers and sisters who just walked to the school gate in a refreshed manner.

After finishing speaking, she turned to Tomioka Yoshiyuki, the life teacher who was standing at the door, and my wife Zenyi, who was in charge of recording the morals of the students entering the school, and said equally seriously: "Mr. Tomioka, good morning, the teacher has worked hard. Shanyi ,Good morning."

Tomioka Yoshiyuki nodded slightly with his whistle in his mouth, his eyes were even a little moved by the greetings from the students, and his expression was a little naive.

My wife Shanyi stared dumbfounded at Hualijun clearing her throat, turned around and entered the school, and secretly dragged Zamon Tanjiro aside.

"What's the matter with Chunjiang?" My wife Shanyi asked puzzledly, "He greeted us with a serious face, but he looked like he might laugh out loud at any time if he didn't have a straight face..."

"That's because the two works selected by Hoshinosha were shortlisted for the literary award." Kamado Tanjiro explained, "Zenyi, do you remember this award? We mentioned it at lunch before the summer vacation of."

"It would be great if Xiaochun could be this happy every day."

The red-haired boy looked at her back and sighed softly, "I've known Xiaochun since I was a child, but I always feel that she didn't really become happy until she became the president of Hoshino Club."

——Kaomen Tanjirou is right, Hanagarashi Jun is in a good mood right now.

According to "Revival!According to the plan of Wenhao Publishing House, in order to regain the title of No. [-] in the industry, four conditions must be met, one of which is to win the highest award of the Classical Art and Literature Award.

Now, more than half a year has passed since the two-year time limit, and the highest award of the Classical Art and Literature Award is now within reach.

***

On Saturday, Hualichun hurried out of Hoshinosha early in the morning and went straight to the bookstore.

She wants to take advantage of the weekend to investigate the sales situation of the bookstore and prepare for the next work.

All the way to Sanxian House, Hualichun walked in with the prepared snacks.

"You don't need to bring gifts every time you come here." The proprietress of Sanxianya took the bag containing the snacks and smiled happily, "This is too troublesome."

"No trouble, this is a thank you to the bookstore clerk who helped sell "Monthly Literature"!" Hualichun said seriously, and then smiled, "I hope everyone will continue to help us in the future."

"Of course." The proprietress said with a smile, "Do you want to see the situation on the other side of the bookshelf? Please do it yourself."

Huali Chunzheng wanted to check the bookshelves of Sanxian House, but the proprietress suddenly thought of something and stopped her.

"By the way, I also saw the news. Both "Sunset" and "Song of Sheep" have been shortlisted for the Classical Art and Literature Award, right? Congratulations!" The proprietress asked again, "Hoshinosha plans to help these two works compete for the highest award Reward?"

"Yeah!" Hualichun nodded vigorously, "They can compete for the highest prize again!"

For some reason, Hualichun felt that the proprietress' expression was a little worried.

"What...what's wrong?" She asked cautiously.

"Can you beat Mr. Xiaoshan?" The proprietress asked in a low voice, "Ms. Xiaoshan also entered the competition, right? I still used the "Kite" from last year."

Hualichun bought the collection of works by Kaya Koyama, so she also read "Kite".Compared with "Obscure Moonlight Night", which was just published not long ago and even caused social effects, "Kite" published last year was slightly obscure and not as easy to read as "Obscurity Moonlight Night", but its literary value was even better. Jia also has one of the best published articles.

"Kite" tells the story of the relationship between people.Everyone is like a kite, delivering fate to the hand holding the string through a thin thread.Everyone is also the one who holds the kite. It is necessary for the kite to fight against the wind and to fly higher with the wind.

After reading this article, Hualichun felt a familiar feeling, but she was not sure.

"Kite" follows Kaya Koyama's consistent style.It is said that the reason why Koyama Kaya created the new work "Hazy Moon Night" half a year after the publication of "Kite" is because "Kite" cost him so much effort that he was still immersed in it for a long time after the completion of the draft. In the emotion of "Kite", I can't extricate myself.

"Kite" is Kaya Koyama's best work.In addition, not to mention other outstanding writers and poets who want to win awards.

——Hua Lijun once again felt this point, that is what Hoshinosha has to face, it is really a terrifying and powerful enemy.

But the works of Dazai Inu and Chuya Inu brought her a shock that no other works have brought.

"The participating works are all based on their strength for fair competition, right?" Hualichun said optimistically, "I have confidence in the strength of "Setting Sun" and "Song of Sheep."

"But..." The proprietress hesitated for a moment, "Xiaochun has only taken over Hoshinosha's work for a few months, so I'm afraid I don't know."

"The judging of the Classical Art and Literature Awards is also regular. Although in principle all works are based on quality to compete fairly, in fact, when the quality of the works has reached a certain level and is comparable, the judging committee will be more biased towards Let veteran writers who have not yet won an award win."

Hearing this, an ominous premonition surged in Hualichun's heart.She remembered that Kaya Koyama didn't seem to...

Sure enough, the proprietress went on to say: "Although Teacher Xiaoshan is known as the king of short stories, he has participated in the Classical Art and Culture Awards three times in the past, but all of them were nominated for the highest prize. Given the circumstances, the judging committee must be inclined to give him the highest award this year."

Then, she gave another news that made things worse: "Besides, there has never been a precedent for a rookie who participated in the selection for the first time after debut to win the highest award. Those awarded to rookies are generally Rookie Award."

"yes……"

Hualichun frowned, and couldn't help feeling anxious.

If the judges will be biased, can "Setting Sun" and "Song of Sheep" still win?

Seeing that Hualichun fell silent, the proprietress became nervous instead, and quickly raised her hand along her shoulder: "Don't put too much psychological pressure on it, there is nothing you can do about it. What's more, Teacher Xiaoshan used to be a member of Hoshino Club. Signed writer..."

"Eh!?"

Hualichun turned around abruptly, startling the proprietress of Sanxian House: "Ah, so you don't know?"

"But I have read the previous "Monthly Literature", and I have also paid attention to the information of Mr. Xiaoshan, but I have not found that his name has appeared on it..." Hualichun said in a daze.

"About ten years ago, Mr. Xiaoshan indeed published his works in the old "Monthly Literature". He signed a long-term contract with "Monthly Literature" in one breath, and your parents also valued him very much at that time." Sanxian The proprietress of the house covered her lips and said, "But Teacher Xiaoshan was not very famous at that time, and he didn't use the current pseudonym, so not many people knew about it."

……

The proprietress of Sanxianya went to entertain other customers.

Hualichun walked forward in a daze, still shocked by the amount of information just now.

Mr. Koyama Kaya...was he a contracted writer of his parents' Hoshinosha before?

Then how did he get to the current Bailang Society?

After going to a few bookstores, Hualichun couldn't help but think about what he heard from Sanxianya.Although I told Jun Huali that Koyama Kaya had published his works in Hoshinosha's "Monthly Literature", the reason why he left Hoshinosha and finally signed a contract with Bailangsha, even the owner and wife of Sanxianya did not know. .

With such questions in mind, Hualichun hurried back to the publishing house after running to the bookstore she was supposed to go to, and went straight to the library.

She moved so fast that she almost stepped on one or two thick or thin tails when she passed by the dogs. It jumped up like a cat seeing a cucumber, turned into a tiger ball and rolled to the side.

Hualichun didn't have the time to explain to the dogs.She ran to the shelf where the old "Monthly Literature" was placed, pulled out the ten-year-old magazine from the shelf, lay on the carpet of the library and flipped through it all the way.

Beside Hualichun, a circle of fluffy dog ​​heads silently poked out, staring curiously at the old magazines flipping in her hand.

"what!"

Hualichun made a sudden movement and barked, which startled the dogs again.

She raised the magazine in her hand, stared at an article on it, and said in surprise, "...there really is one!"
