Reborn Japan for entertainment

Chapter 209
Time flies, and the footsteps of time have moved from July to August.

And all major schools in Japan have entered the students' favorite season, summer vacation.

In the past month, Kiyoshi Sakamoto was busy with exams, and also discussed with Wenyi Chunqiu Publishing House about the release of the booklet "Golden Dreamland".

"Golden Dreamland", which was serialized in the June issue of "Wenyichunqiu", officially ended in the August issue of "Wenyichunqiu" after three months of serialization.

And "Golden Dreamland" ushered in the final ending. Many readers couldn't help trembling when they saw the note at the end that said "death to all perverts", and every tense pore seemed to relax , relieved.

And it's not just the readers who saw the happy ending, but also the editor-in-chief of Wenyi Chunqiu Publishing House and the editors of the reasoning department who felt relieved.

"Golden Dreamland", which has been serialized for three months, at the beginning, although I was very confident in this work, but rashly putting a newcomer's reasoning work on the front page made the editor-in-chief a little uneasy.

After all, it's useless for them to like it. Only when readers like it can the magazine sell more sales.

So when he saw the sales figures for the June issue, the editor-in-chief of "The Spring and Autumn Period of Literature and Art" secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

57 million!

55 more than the average sales volume of [-].

Originally, I thought that as long as the sales volume did not drop, I could continue to put "Golden Dreamland" on the front page.

But they didn't expect that after "Golden Dreamland" was put on the front page, the sales increased instead, which was beyond their expectation.

So, logically, the front page of the July issue of "Wenyi Chunqiu" series of mystery novels was still given to "Golden Dreamland".

As a result, the sales volume of the magazine in July cheered the editor-in-chief and editors of "Wenyichunqiu".

70 copies! ! !

Such a result has reached the top ten sales volume in the history of this magazine.

However, it's not over yet, the August issue that published the final chapter of "Golden Dreamland", although there is no sales statistics yet, within half a month, nearly 60 copies have been sold!
According to conservative estimates, the sales volume of the August issue of "Literary Spring and Autumn" will exceed 80!

The editors of Wenyi Chunqiu all know that this kind of data is all due to the work "Golden Dreamland".

After all, after each issue of "Literary Spring and Autumn" is released, a large number of readers will send fan letters, all of which are full of love for "Golden Dreamland" and curiosity about the writer "Idle".

As for such a work that is so popular with readers, after the serialization, Wenyi Chunqiu Publishing House received a large number of letters from readers from all over the country, asking them to make "Golden Dreamland" into a single volume and sell it.

Due to the strong demands of readers and the drive of money, the publication of "Golden Dreamland" was quickly put on the agenda by Wenyi Chunqiu Publishing House.

That's why Sakamoto Kiyoshi, through Uncle Ishida, discussed with Bungeishunqiu about the publication of the booklet.

However, while he was busy, he was still thinking about the arrival of the Akutagawa Award.

. . . . . .

August NO.15, sunny.

Kiyoshi Sakamoto, who was at home, received a call from Uncle Ishida.

"You mean, Wenyi Chunqiu Publishing House called you?" Sakamoto Kiyoshi said to the phone with an unbelievable tone while holding the phone.

"En." From Uncle Ishida's tone, Kiyoshi Sakamoto couldn't hear any joy or sorrow.

"Then... what did they say?" Sakamoto Kiyoshi asked a little nervously.

The palm of his hand holding the phone was covered with sweat.

"He said..."

"Congratulations! Your work has won the 135th Akutagawa Award! Please be in..."

The uncle is like a master of ceremonies hosting an awards ceremony. After a wave of slams, he suddenly told Sakamoto Kiyoshi the great news over the phone with enthusiasm.

And Sakamoto Kiyoshi, like a person who participated in the award ceremony, was full of uneasiness and vague expectations when he knew that he had a chance to win the award.

After hearing Ishida's "master of ceremonies" name the winners, Kiyoshi Sakamoto was stunned as if he was present at the scene.

Then, there was a burst of excitement.

"Yojiada (great)!!!" Kiyoshi Sakamoto took the phone away and yelled loudly, and when he felt that he couldn't vent his excitement, he jumped up like a football player, After scoring a goal, he waved his fist in the air as a celebration to show his respect.
Although Uncle Ishida was talking on the phone about the time and place of the award ceremony, he didn't continue to listen. Instead, he was holding his mobile phone and started looking for his family at home.

At this time, he felt an impulse in his heart, wanting to share this joy with others.

At this moment, Kiyoshi Sakamoto, who ran up to the second floor, saw his younger brother lying on the bed in the room and reading manga.

So, his eyes glowed, and he rushed towards him immediately!
Poor Kaze Sakamoto, looking at his brother, threw himself on him with excitement on his face. Before he could make a frightened expression on his face, Kiyoshi Sakamoto threw him down.

Sakamoto Kaze didn't respond at all, and was just thrown on the bed by Sakamoto Kiyoshi, and his brother grabbed his shoulders, shaking his body while shouting loudly at himself.

"Kaze (Roman sound for wind)! I've won an award! I've won an Akutagawa award!!!"

At this time, Kiyoshi Sakamoto, in an instant, Brother Ma, roared at the upper body of the emperor, like the heroine in Qiong Yao's drama, catching the little wind, shaking and roaring for a while.

Finally, seeing Xiao Fengfeng who was being shaken dizzily, Sakamoto Kiyosai let go as if waking up from a dream, and held onto Xiao Fengfeng who was rolling his eyes with his hands tightly clutching his shoulders.

"Are you okay! Kaze! Hey! Wake up!" Kiyoshi Sakamoto patted his brother's fat face lightly and asked with concern.

So, if I knew this earlier, why did I do it in the first place? . .

Fortunately, Xiao Fengfeng's body is strong enough, otherwise, he would probably foam at the mouth and lose his eyesight after being attacked by Kiyoshi Sakamoto. . .

Xiao Fengfeng, who was slapped on the face by Kiyoshi Sakamoto a few times, after waking up, the first thing he did was to "punish" his brother.

"Ouch, I'm so dizzy, so dizzy, what are you doing! Why are you dangling me around, you crazy!"

Kiyoshi Sakamoto, who was scorned by his younger brother, didn't care about his younger brother's complaints at all, and said excitedly to his younger brother, "Kaze! I won an award!"

"What? You won an award? Don't you often win awards? What's so exciting about it..."

However, Xiao Fengfeng has become accustomed to his elder brother who often wins various music awards, and has no idea what Sakamoto Kiyoshi is so happy about at this moment.

Xiao Fengfeng's slightly complaining answer, coupled with a face of "disgust", in the eyes of Sakamoto Kiyoshi, is a arrogant little fat man, complaining about his brother.

"Kawaii!" Kiyoshi Sakamoto, who was already a little excited, grabbed the little fat man, put his hands on his fat face, and ravaged him.

Terrible siblings. . .

In the end, Xiao Fengfeng, who was tortured by Sakamoto Kiyoshi with a loveless face, could only give up resistance, and just lay down on the bed, letting Sakamoto Kiyoshi rub his fleshy face. . .

After grabbing and ravaging the little fat man, the excitement and excitement in Sakamoto Kiyoshi's heart also dissipated a little.

At this time, Kiyoshi Sakamoto realized that he seemed to have forgotten that he was still talking to Uncle Ishida just now. . .

With his younger brother's disgusted eyes, Kiyoshi Sakamoto walked out of his younger brother's room.

. . .

"Moxi Moxi? Uncle! I'm sorry, I was so excited just now that I forgot to talk to you on the phone, hee hee." Go to the first floor, pick up the mobile phone that was left on the dining table, and continue talking The uncle on the phone chatted.

In the somewhat helpless words of the uncle, Kiyoshi Sakamoto knew that the award ceremony of the Akutagawa Award was held together with the Naoki Award.

The time and place of the event will be held at the Imperial Hotel in Tokyo two nights later.

At that time, the organizer Japan Arts Promotion Association will announce to the public the winners of the 135th Akutagawa Award and Naoki Award at the press conference.

Not only that, Sakamoto Kiyoshi also told the uncle that he knew that he won the award, so it turned out to be so special.

Generally speaking, the Akutagawa Award is the same as the Naoki Award. On the day the award is announced, all shortlisted candidates are arranged by the publishing house in charge of their business to wait for the result notification in a hotel or other place.

Then, a dedicated staff member will call and announce the results.

It is said that if the opening line of the caller received is: "I am XX from the Renaissance Society." If the opening line of the caller is: "I am XX from the Renaissance Society." If it is, it means winning.

However, for "Xiao Xian", a mysterious writer who does not know his real name, does not know his age, and has not revealed his true identity, Wenyi Chunqiu suddenly discovered that such an announcement method is simply not feasible.

Therefore, after careful deliberation between the Wenyichunqiu Publishing House and the Japan Renaissance Association, it was finally decided to notify him by phone in advance.

They said they were notifying the author himself, but they only notified the author's agent, Uncle Ishida.

Therefore, Uncle Ishida knew the news of the award one step earlier than the winner, Kiyoshi Sakamoto.

"Then, there will definitely be a lot of reporters coming to the press conference?!"

Sakamoto Kiyoshi thought in his heart.

Silently planning in his mind, Kiyoshi Sakamoto felt that the award ceremony was the moment when he would draw a successful conclusion to this plan.

"Well, everything is ready now, only the east wind is owed."

"It's time to unravel the mystery of "Leisure", the author of "Golden Dreamland"!"
