Revive it!Wenhao Press

Tokyo, Shinjuku area.

Xia Youjie raised his head and cast a glance at the majestic Bailangshe building, then walked up the steps leading to the entrance of the building without changing his expression.

All the way to the end of the lobby, he went straight to the elevator.The staff at the front desk saw this scene and hurried out.

"Sorry, you can't go in directly." The staff blocked, "Do you have an appointment? Are you here for a visit or looking for someone?"

"Neither." Xia Youjie paused, "I'm the winner of the Newcomer Award, and I'm here to discuss related matters."

"I'm very sorry..." The staff said with some embarrassment, "The time for accepting the Newcomer Award will be next week, and a ceremony and media reception will be held in the banquet hall at that time. And even if you are the winner of the Newcomer Award, you must first come to the Newcomer Award." Make an appointment, then get a guest card at the front desk. It should be common sense..."

"I'm not here to accept the award." Xia Youjie frowned slightly, "I came this time to ask some questions. Just let me meet with the person in charge of the newcomer award."

The staff still looked at him apologetically: "I'm very sorry. If you're not here to receive the award, ordinary contributors or writers who come to discuss, need to make an appointment with the editor who meets first, and discuss in the cubicle on the west side of the lobby on the first floor. Won't go upstairs..."

The two were deadlocked in front of the elevator, while the two security guards on the side had noticed the situation here and were walking quickly.

"……Are you serious?"

Xia Youjie didn't look at the two tall and strong security guards who rushed over, but looked directly at the staff and asked.

"Huh?" The staff couldn't help but startled.

"I mean, the security guards are called out for such things..." Xia Youjie whispered, "Are you serious?"

At that moment, the aura exuded by the black-haired boy of high school age made the staff's body freeze inexplicably, as if the pores were filled with chills.She opened her mouth, but couldn't speak.

Not only the staff standing in front of him, but even the people farther away, obviously unable to hear what he said in a low voice, subconsciously sensed the surging bad atmosphere and looked over.

But at this moment, a voice suddenly sounded, interrupting the staff: "Give him the guest card."

The staff finally came back to their senses, followed the voice, and couldn't help being a little surprised: "...Mr. Noguchi?"

Xia Youjie also turned around.What caught his eyes was a middle-aged man in a casual suit with a serious face.He raised his hand towards the security guard, who immediately nodded and retreated.

The man walked all the way in front of Xia Youjie, looking at him with his eyes.

"I heard your words when I passed by just now. This kind of momentum is indeed worthy of being a writer who stands out among nearly ten thousand people." He said, "As long as you stand in a room, everyone will be aware of your existence. You Destined to become a big shot among the stars..."

Having said that, he paused: "No, you should already be a big shot, boy, but compared to what you will achieve in the future, you are just a fledgling start."

Xia Youjie's eyes flickered slightly: "Who are you?"

The man standing in front of him replied: "I am the editor-in-chief of "Literary Times", Noguchi Satoshi, and I am also the person in charge of the Bailang Society Literary Newcomer Award."

It was this person.

Xia Youjie thought to himself, is he the one who voted his article the first in the Newcomer Award?

"I think you should be Geto who won the No. [-] Newcomer Award for "Suffering in the World." Satoshi Noguchi said, "The person you are looking for is me. Come with me."

At this moment, there was a rush of footsteps, and the front desk staff had already brought the guest card.Noguchi Satoshi personally took the guest card and handed it to Xia Youjie.

Xia Youjie glanced at him, took away the guest card, and hung it around his neck.

Noguchi Satoshi's eyes turned to the west side of the lobby - it was divided into a dozen cubicles with sofas inside.Several groups of editors and their writers were talking in cubicles.

"As you heard just now, not everyone can get the guest card and enter the Bailang Club building." He said, "Come with me."

Tomo Noguchi walked towards the stairs at the end of the lobby, and Xia Youjie followed behind with his usual expression.

When his back was facing Xia Youjie, Noguchi's expression finally changed for an instant.He opened his eyes slightly, and a surprised smile appeared on the corners of his lips.

Originally, he was worried that the No. 1 rookie award would be a guy who would not be able to make it to the stage, but the person who appeared in front of him brought him a huge surprise.

——In fact, Noguchi Satoshi, who happened to be on the first floor, had noticed Geto since he first entered Bailang Club.

During the time when Xia Youjie was prevented from entering at the front desk until the security came, Noguchi Satoshi stood by and did not move, just to observe who the newcomer No. 1 was and how he would deal with emergencies.

Whether he was threatened by the security guards, met Noguchi Satoshi himself as the editor-in-chief of "Literary Times", or entered the editorial department that ordinary writers cannot enter, Geto has always been indifferent, as if he wanted to do it from the bottom of his heart. Knowing that you are special, ignoring the rules and breaking them.And everything that happened in front of him was not worth mentioning.

This young man stands out from the crowd no matter in appearance or temperament, he is a guy beyond his imagination!

Noguchi Satoshi's palm was slightly moist from excitement.Xia Youjie stood where he was, without any change in expression.

There was silence in the elevator.The elevator went up all the way and finally stopped at the 23rd floor.

"Come with me." Noguchi Tomoko turned his head and said to Xia Youjie.

All the way to a conference room without a word, after the two sat down, Noguchi Satoshi finally spoke: "Geto... no, now, I should call you by your real name."

"Xia Youjie."

"Xia Youjie...so that's how it is," Noguchi asked. "May I ask first? Why did you submit your article to Bailang Club in the first place?"

"Why..." Xia Youjie replied, "It's just that after I wrote it, I voted for it."

Originally, that manuscript should only be submitted to Hoshinosha.

"Don't you think... this is fate?" Noguchi Satoshi said suddenly after nodding his head.

"destiny?"

Xia Youjie frowned and looked at Tomo Noguchi.Noguchi Satoshi took out some documents from the document bag and placed them in front of him.

It is a contract to accept the newcomer award, serialize articles and produce TV programs.

"You didn't intend to submit an article to our agency when you were writing, but the deadline for completing the manuscript just happened to catch up with the unprecedented newcomer award call time for our agency, and the manuscript you submitted by chance even won the No.1 Newcomer Award. All this is a coincidence all point to a single outcome, so I would like to call it destiny."

Speaking of this, Noguchi's eyes sharpened and became full of provocative power: "Successful writers can be divided into two categories, some are hardworking and hardworking writers, and some are natural, intuitive and emotional geniuses. It's an article."

"The first type of writers account for the majority. But it is often the second type of writers who can bring the greatest damage." He looked at Xia Youjie with undisguised ambition in his eyes.

Xia Youjie whispered, "You mean, I'm the second type?"

"Whether it's articles, personal style, or even appearance, you are so distinctive that people can't forget it...Xia Youjie, you are a rare person in this era with a strong talent. It can be said that God favors you. It was a blockbuster."

"So come to Bailang Club, we will give you the best debut opportunity and the most loyal readers. You will become a new star that everyone in the literary world knows."

Noguchi Satoshi said, with great persuasiveness in his voice, "Just now, I have notified my editors to invite someone. The representative of Nflix, the program producer, director and cameraman of "One Eight Thousandth" I'm rushing here. As long as you sign the contract, countless people will see your heroic appearance."

Xia Youjie did not respond to Tomo Noguchi's words, but took out his manuscript and put it on the table: "Before discussing those, I have something to ask."

"Since you are the editor-in-chief of "Literary Times", you must have read mine." He asked, "There are no correct comments on the award notice. I want to hear your opinion in person. Compared with what you just described For those contents, I care more about how you understand me."

Noguchi Satoshi's eyes moved to the manuscript paper.

So, is it the kind of writer who "must hand over his works to those who know the goods, and everything else comes second"?

It is not that Noguchi Satoshi has never encountered such writers.On the contrary, he has actually met many writers who claim that their work comes first and their pay comes second.But even for people who can say this, as long as they seize the opportunity at the beginning, and then wait for the other party to debut and sell well, everything will be easy to talk about.

Writing isn't everything to a writer, after all.Even among creators who have left their names in history, few really don't care about money at all.

After all, who can really completely ignore the basic necessities of life in real life, and only live in it?

"Indeed, I have seen "Suffering in the World," Noguchi said, "The setting of the pica boy is deeply in my heart."

"...and the distorted and deformed world cognition caused by pica, and the contradictions of teenagers who live in this world view without knowing it, and regard abnormalities as normal, are my favorite parts."

Xia Youjie's long and narrow eyes widened slightly: "..."

Hoshinosha, which gave him a lower-middle D-level judgment, and Bailangshe, which gave him No.8000 among more than 1 submissions, although the handling methods are polarized, the judgment of his article on a certain point is surprisingly amazing unanimously.

——They all think his expressed views are distorted and contradictory.It's just the difference between liking it and not liking it.

However, this is not what Xia Youjie wants to express with his own words.Tomo Noguchi thought that Xia Youjie was just showing a distorted world in the movie.But he was still a little short, he didn't realize what Xia Youjie himself was thinking.

But Hualichun discovered this—the worldview of middle-aged and young people is really Xia Youjie's own worldview.He himself was that teenager.

Tomo Noguchi said a few more words, but Xia Youjie was no longer listening.Seeing Xia Youjie's slightly absent-minded demeanor, Tomo Noguchi changed the subject: "You may still have doubts. But by now, the producer of the show should be almost here."

"I'll bring them to meet with you and explain the content of the show."

Noguchi Satoshi got up and left the conference room.And Xia Youjie was still sitting there, quietly looking at his manuscript.

Although Tomo Noguchi said it was fate, Xia Youjie knew it in his heart.The reason why he did these things was because he was unwilling.

Suddenly, the phone rang, interrupting his thoughts.Xia Youjie took out his phone and took a look, and found that it was the Line sent by Wujo Wu and Jiarui Nizi.

[Wujo Satoru: Jie, I heard from Qihai and the others that you went to the Bailang Club? 】

【Wujo Satoru: Are you going to accept the award? 】

[Wujo Satoru: Seriously?If you do that, you might not be a conjurer. 】

[Wujo Satoru: Have you looked at your phone?Reply to me quickly! 】

【…】

Rarely did not use any funny stickers in the sent messages, but added a lot of exclamation points, which shows Gojo Satoru's bewilderment and impatience.

The content sent by Jiarui Glass is more calm.

[Jia Ruo Zi: Jie, it's fine if you've thought everything through, after all, this is your life.In addition, Enlightenment is very worried that your impulsiveness will cause you to regret it later, and it seems that you plan to go to the Bailang Club.Let me tell you first, so that you are a little mentally prepared. 】

Xia Youjie sighed, and instead of replying to them, he closed the dialogue interface.And at this moment, he found that a new email notification popped up on his phone.

After registering on Hoshinosha's official website, the new issue release notice will be sent automatically on the 15th of every month.

That's right, today is the 15th, when the new issue of "Monthly Literature" is released.Xia Youjie thought slowly, because of the newcomer award, he completely forgot the release date of "Monthly Literature" this month.

Some time ago, Hoshinosha opened an online magazine archive, and all published magazines will also be released electronically.Therefore, Xia Youjie logged in to his account and purchased the electronic version of the latest issue of "Monthly Literature".

After opening the e-magazine, the first thing that caught his eyes were three distinct words in black and white.

"Theory of the Fall."
