Revive it!Wenhao Press

The award ceremony of the Bailang Club Newcomer Award was held at the beginning of the month, and the venue was located in the banquet hall of the Bailang Club building.

As the largest publishing house in the country, the banquet hall of Bailangshe occupies an entire floor of the office building, and its decoration is not inferior to that of famous hotels in Tokyo.The banquet hall is brightly lit, the carpet is soft, and the round tables are covered with white tablecloths and decorated with fresh flowers.On the side facing the entrance of the banquet hall, a podium with a golden screen has already been placed.

The people who come here include the staff in charge of the Newcomer Awards, award-winning writers, and invited media from Bailang Club, as well as some old writers who have already signed contracts with Bailang Club.Among them are many writers who have won various literary awards, large and small.

In addition, there are even actors and idols who have cooperated with Bailang Club.More or less, they have participated in the interpretation of the film and television adapted from the works published by Bailang Society, or sang related songs.

Apparently, Bailang club intends to hold the newcomer award selected by the club this time with the momentum of a literary award.

Under the flashing lights of media reporters, the top five writers who won the Newcomer Award came to the golden screen one by one.The presenter is the president of Bailang Club himself.

Noguchi Satoshi stood on the side of the podium, watching the young writers on the stage, with a calm smile just right on his face.On the contrary, Chieko Aoyama, who also participated in the ceremony, kept looking at the new writers on the stage, her eyes were a little complicated.

Indeed, as Tomo Noguchi worried, most of the writers on the stage seemed relatively introverted, and even had a gloomy temperament.It's better to say that the writers who won the Newcomer Award this time have quite good works, but they are not very eye-catching.

——Only the writer who is finally designated as the first is an exception.

Akira Shimizu, who received the trophy from the president of Bailang Club, walked to the microphone.He may not look 20 years old, handsome, looking at the camera of the media below, showing a smile.

"This time, I would like to thank Bailang Club for awarding me the grand prize." Akira Qingshui said holding the microphone, "Everyone should already know that mine is "Graduation Ceremony". But what you may not know is that I was last year's Graduated high school students, who have experienced a one-year gapyear, are scheduled to enter university in April."

""Graduation Ceremony" is a work I created through my personal experience. And I have passed the examinations of the University of Tokyo's Faculty of Letters. I am probably the youngest among all the winners."

As soon as the words fell, the flashes of the media reporters flickered more frequently.Some reporters even whispered to each other, "You just graduated from high school and won the Newcomer Award from Bailang Club?"

"You are too young, but you can write such a work at this age..."

"Genius high school student writer, and passed the Tokyo University exam? The future is boundless..."

Facing the eyes of the reporters, Qing Shuiming's smile became even brighter: "However, past achievements are no longer important. I want to leave those things behind and start as a newcomer in the literary world."

"I will surpass Dazai, Nakahara, and Akutagawa, and break Koyama's record. The next highest-selling one will be mine!"

After Akira Shimizu finished speaking, the blinding flashes came on suddenly, making it almost impossible to catch the silhouettes of award-winning writers in front of the golden screen.The young writer who was invited to the banquet and won the Newcomer Award of the Classical Art and Literature Award first heard this explosive speech, and couldn't help but look at Akira Qingshui on the stage, with a look of astonishment on his face: "I'm just kidding..."

But Chieko Aoyama, who was watching this scene from the side, looked at Tomo Noguchi in a daze.

The editor-in-chief did not tell Akira Shimizu that Geto gave up accepting the award.Akira Shimizu knew nothing about it.

If he knew, would he still say such things?

……

In the Tokyo High School, everyone was also sitting in front of the TV, watching the webcast of the Bailang Club Newcomer Awards.

"This person is too self-righteous!" just heard Akira Shimizu calling himself the "youngest winner", An Geji said angrily, "He has graduated from high school and has a gap of one year, and he is at least 19 years old now Bar?"

"Our Xia You is the real No. 1 rookie award, and he is smaller than him." Ming Ming leaned on the side of the sofa, with a bit of interest in his tone, looking at Xia Youjie, "Xia You, look at yourself How do you feel when the No.[-] that was given up was finally taken by such a guy?"

Xia Youjie shook his head helplessly when he heard the words: "I just feel that giving up the award is the right choice. I don't want to deal with this guy."

When he said this, he subconsciously glanced at his mobile phone.

After refusing to accept the award, Xia Youjie did try to continue writing something according to Hualichun's suggestion.During this period of time, whenever he had any thoughts in his mind, he would record them in the memo on his mobile phone.

Especially after a mission.

Curses often come from the dark part of the human heart. In the past, Xia Youjie did not think much about the origin of the curse in front of him during the mission, but repeatedly exorcised and devoured it.But now, in the process of carrying out the task, he also began to try to analyze the causes of different curses as creative materials.

Until now, when he suddenly looked back, he suddenly discovered one thing.

It turns out that he can also treat curses and human beings as his own writing materials.In order to write better articles.

Although the final conclusion is that the curse must be eliminated, it turns out that he can also do these things while thinking about himself in his heart, not just for the weak or for the sake of righteousness.

Xia Youjie was still thinking silently, and the words of his companions came to his ears again.

"He has never suffered much setbacks in his life, and he has never seen any dark things." Jianren Qihai commented, "In a sense, it is really enviable."

At this moment, Gojo Satoru, who was sitting by the side, frowned and said, "Don't you think? The tone and announcement of this newcomer award writer always feels a bit like..."

Jia Ruozi said in one sentence: "It seems to have found a second-generation Huali, right."

"Because Huali once said such a thing, the Bailang club will not admit defeat. And the newcomer there said such a thing in front of the media, which just filled the topic."

Speaking of this, Jia Ruzi looked to one side, and said softly, "The next issue of "Literary Times", which will publish the works of the Newcomer Award, should sell well. They must be planning to snatch "Monthly Literature", okay?" It is easy to accumulate to the current readers."

Silence lasted for a while, only the sound of the webcast on the TV echoed in the room.

Xia Youjie said softly: "I'm looking forward to what kind of articles will be published in "Monthly Literature" which is released two days later than "Literary Times."

"I won't lose." Gojo Satoru played with the sunglasses frame in his hand with his fingers, looked at the winners of the Bailang Club's newcomer award on TV, and said with a pun, "It's just a fake."

"Huali should be watching live TV right now." He muttered to himself.

……

The webcast of the Bailang Club's Newcomer Award attracted countless writers and editors from publishing houses to watch regularly.However, at this moment, Hoshinosha was quiet, and the wall-mounted TV screen was pitch black.

Contrary to Wujo Wu's expectation, Hualichun did not watch the live webcast of Bailang Club.

The purple-haired girl was sitting on the porch leading to the courtyard, holding a stack of written manuscript paper in her hand.Sitting in front of her was the little white dog Izumi Kyoka in a red kimono.

——Just now, Mirror Dog's first work was completed.

Glancing at the handheld in his hand, Hualichun found that a prompt had appeared on the screen of the handheld.

[From "Revival!Reminder from Wenhao Publishing House: You have obtained the S-level work "Yasha Pond" × 1]

"It's not too late, I'll read Teacher Jinghua's works first." After putting down the phone, Hualichun said seriously.

After opening the "Yasha Pond" created by Jing Huagou, the first thing that caught Huali Chun's eyes was the special format on the manuscript paper.

"I didn't expect..." Hualichun opened her eyes slightly, "It's a drama..."

Under the leadership of Xiaobaihu, Jinghuagou created the S-level work "Yasha Pond".Unlike the works published in "Monthly Literature", the genre of "Yasha Pond" is not poetry, nor is it a commentary article like "On the Fall", but a script.

"Yasha Pond" uses the image of Yasha, an ancient monster, and the place where the story takes place is also located in an ancient mountain village. From the beginning to the end, it is full of the unique, deep and dark atmosphere of Japanese classical ghost stories.

The image of monsters deliberately used in "Yasha Pond" should bring the greatest horror to people, but after reading the whole story, you will find that what is more terrifying than monsters is the greed and evil of human beings who sacrifice good things for themselves .

Humans who have evil thoughts are the real monsters.

——And it was a fluffy puppy who wrote such a powerful work as "Yasha Pond".

Even if it is converted to human age, it is probably less than 15 years old. It is a petite young dog who even looks very cute when he has a stern face.

Thinking of this, Hualichun couldn't help looking at Jinghuagou: "..."

During Hualichun's "Yasha Pond", the milky white puppy was still sitting there, with no expression on his cute little face.She still doesn't seem to have a clear understanding of the talents she possesses.What made her write this kind of writing was probably just the various things she experienced in her wandering life when she was young.

On the contrary, the little white tiger who came with the mirror dog was even more anxious, his pupils formed a thin line, and his tail swung rapidly from side to side, sweeping the grass leaves on the ground.

"Meow!" Seeing that Hualichun had turned to the last page, the little white tiger couldn't help but eagerly raised his head to urge.

The girl nodded to the little white tiger, took a deep breath, and opened her mouth.

""Yasha Pond" is a work that is powerful enough to shock people's hearts!"

Hualichun couldn't help but use more strength with her hand holding the manuscript paper, "Especially the final ending, as if the flood wiped out the evil. If the only remaining beauty is destroyed, the evil will naturally have nowhere to escape."

"After reading it, I can feel that the ending of destruction and death has such a classic, cruel and powerful tragic aesthetic atmosphere. It seems that after the bang, everything returns to calm. However, in that calmness, there is It also contains a powerful silent and tragic power. And this power can only be best reflected in the form of drama.”

Hualichun said to Jinghuagou: "Mr. Jinghua, I will publish "Yasha Pond" in the next issue of "Monthly Literature."

Listening to Hualichun's words, Jinghuagou raised his fluffy face and looked at her steadily.And the little white tiger was so excited that he yelled "meow meow meow" a few times, and jumped up happily.

……

After the press conference for the Bailang Club Newcomer Award ended, the reception for the remaining winners of the Newcomer Award, editors of the Bailang Club, and invited writers began.

Akira Shimizu, who was selected as No.1, was surrounded by people just after stepping down because of his ranking and award declaration.But he smiled and greeted the people around him, but found the atmosphere a bit strange.

Some of the writers invited by Bailang Club seemed to be looking at him with some hesitant eyes.

——Those writers seem to have participated in the second review of the Newcomer Awards.

Why are you looking at him like that?He was obviously selected by these people to be sent to the final trial, wasn't he?

Qing Shuiming frowned, but still put his doubts behind him, and looked around for a certain figure at the reception.

Soon, his eyes lit up, he pushed aside the crowd, and walked over.

——Sitting in an inconspicuous corner of the banquet hall is Kaya Koyama, the biggest character of "The Age of Literature and Art".And beside him, talking in a low voice, was his editor, Chieko Aoyama.

"Teacher Xiaoshan."

Qing Shuiming walked all the way to Koyama Kaya.Kako Koyama and Chieko Aoyama paused their conversation and looked up at him.

"The award announcement just now may have offended, so I want to find Teacher Xiaoshan and explain it clearly." Qing Shuiming still had a smile on his face, "Actually, I like Teacher Xiaoshan very much. I still remember reading it in junior high school. That Murder Blue, I was so shocked by it at the time, and it became my goal to write something comparable to it."

"Ms. Xiaoshan has dominated the literary world for many years, right? But time is merciless." Qing Shuiming said, "One day, the responsibility and honor of Mr. Xiaoshan will be handed over to the younger generation. And I hope to be the one who completes this One handover."

After Akira Shimizu finished speaking, Kaya Koyama did not show any excitement or anger as he imagined.Even Chieko Aoyama on the side is the same.The two just sat there and looked at him with slightly strange eyes.

——Here it is again, that weird look again.

The smile on Qing Shuiming's face gradually disappeared: "...why do you look at me like this?"

It was Chieko Aoyama who broke the silence and spoke.She hesitated for a moment, and asked after considering her words: "Mr. Shimizu, what do you usually watch?"

"Let me think about it..." Qing Shuiming listed, "Ms. Xiaoshan's is of course a must-read for every article, as well as Shima Ai, Okuma Kazuhiro, Sugiyama Hiroo..."

"That is to say, what you read are all the works of writers from Bailang Club, right?" Xiaoshan Jia also interrupted him, "Have you read "Monthly Literature"?"

"No..." Qing Shuiming faintly sensed that the topic seemed to be sliding in a direction he hadn't expected, "Because I only want to contribute to "Literary Times", so I blindly only read the writers of "Literary Times"... But anyway, Perhaps Mr. Xiaoshan's works are more powerful, and the sales volume is also higher...Although he was not selected for the Classical Award last time, the award was determined by the judges' personal preferences after all."

"You'd better take a look." Xiao Shanjia also lowered his eyes, "Just take a look and you will understand."

"in addition……"

Kaya Koyama didn't look at Qing Shuiming, but the words he spit out made him freeze in place: "You were not the No.1 of the Newcomer Award. It was after the guy who was supposed to be No. [-] withdrew that you were put on top."

"And I heard that the original No.1 was chosen after getting the evaluation from Hoshinosha."
