Yunyang Novelist Luanbu

Yusaku Kudo and a room full of editors looked at Ranpo Edogawa who hadn't changed his orange Hawaiian shirt.Yusaku Kudo originally planned to let Ranpo meet with the editors alone, after all, it would be convenient for him to make his own request and negotiate privately.However, just after he sent the trial manuscript to the editor, they all came over to meet with Luanbu non-stop, for fear that the young author would sign with other publishing houses.

Of course, Yusaku Kudo also knows that the editors have their own thoughts.

Because this is the first time Kudo Yusaku recommends a newcomer.

The editors naturally want to give face to the world-class mystery novelist Yu Kudo, and at the same time, they want to sell him favors so that they can continue to solicit manuscripts in the future.But at the same time, they did take a fancy to Ranpo's talent.

It is said that genius novelists have eccentricities.

In the eyes of the editors, Luanbu at this moment is so crazy that he wants to stand shoulder to shoulder with the sun.

"Well, if you want me to write in your publishing house, I only have two requirements."

Luanbu held up two fingers and said in a serious manner.

"First, neither the publisher nor the editor can interfere with what I want to write. I don't accept writing guidance from anyone."

There is no editorial guidance for this, so what should I do if the novel is getting more and more written?Even if you have aura, how can you make money if you don’t have the right market?Even Kudo Yusaku occasionally listens to the editor's opinion and modifies some content.

For example, the hero of the series "Night Baron" by the great writer Kudo was not a so-called gentleman and thief at the beginning, but a protagonist who regarded himself as a righteous villain.This kind of male protagonist is neither righteous nor evil, and he appeared as a somewhat sloppy image, but later changed it to "Night Baron himself actually has a handsome appearance", which became more and more popular among male and female readers.And this is the result of consultation with the editor.

As soon as Ranpo said this, the editors all looked at Yusaku Kudo, who was smiling and silent.But Kudo Yusaku only laughed because he thought that Ranbu was very interesting, and when he received the confused and surprised eyes of others, Yusaku shook his head.

This means that he actually didn't know that Ranbu had this idea.

Luanbu naturally didn't care what other people thought, squinted his eyes, and said to himself, "Second, I want two more rights."

This is also Yusaku Kudo's first time listening to it.

After receiving help-like looks from editors whose average age was above his own, Kudo Yusaku had no choice but to replace them and ask, "What rights?"

Is it to provide accommodation and meals?

Or do you want to help with housework?

Or some kind of assistant living at home?

Or do you have the right to choose editors in the publishing house?

Of course these are not.

Ranpo said: "First, I have the right to "choose any work I like and publish it in the way I want".Second, I have the right to "stop publication of any work I hate in the publishing house". "

Ranpo Edogawa felt that he was still a very busy person, and he spoke plausibly to editors who were older than him.

"I don't want too many. I will only choose one work that I like; I will only choose one work that I hate. I don't have time to care about so many works."

Edogawa nodded his fingers in random, and explained: "The "works I like" here, even if the author is unknown, even if the author's writing does not meet the requirements of your publishing house, you must support me and fully support my publication.And "the works I hate", even if the author is world-class, no matter how high the future sales expectations are, what I hate, your publishing house just can't print it.If it is serialized in your magazine, it must be discontinued. "

After Luanbu finished speaking, he nodded and said, "That's it, it's very simple. I'm also very busy, and you don't even know what I've done for you?"

After these words fell, no editor said anything.

Gojo Satoru and Xia Youjie, who were eavesdropping in the next room, couldn't help laughing.

(The tone of Luanbu is really not lost anywhere.)

Gojo Satoru whispered, "I think it's better for him to start his own publishing house, so that he can do whatever he wants."

Xia Youjie seldom reads, but only knows that the books written by Luanbu are really interesting, and even people who don't like reading can get into them.But he is not quite sure what the result will be when it is placed on the market.As for Xinyi's saying that "Teacher Ranpo is a god", Xia Youjie just thought that he was a child without experience, and that everything can be regarded as a god's work, so he didn't take it seriously.Therefore, Xia You is not surprised if the editor refuses to mess around.

"He can't even take care of himself, so he can open a publishing house?" Xia Youjie imagined: Luanbu was coaxed by someone for a few words, and then he was cheated out of all his funds by those profiteers, including the employees of the publishing house. Neither of them is a fuel-efficient lamp, and they also took away the things of the chaotic publishing houses.As a result, Luanbu burst into tears in the empty office.

At this time, Xia Youjie suddenly thought of a serious question: "If he can't be a novelist, what can he do after Luanbu?"

"..." Gojo Satoru looked up and thought for a while, feeling that Edogawa Ranpo was not very good at doing anything, but at this moment he suddenly thought of what happened at the beach beach before, Gojo Satoru said, "Maybe, you can be a A low-level detective is just waiting to die."

"Which detective agency do you think is willing to accept such a pampered employee?"

Gojo Satoru felt that Ranpo would lose his job sooner or later, and thought that if the writer Yusaku Kudo that Ranpo met was not a good person, he probably wouldn't talk to Ranpo at all, and wouldn't give Ranpo a chance, so he said, "Think about it. The short-legged cat is left with the fate of being taken care of by others. In addition to being able to write and do some detective work, he seems to have only his face and hands."

"..."

Xia Youjie had a picture of "Luanbu lying on the lap of the rich woman, asking the rich woman to clean her ears". He always felt that if Luanbu really ended up in that kind of situation, he himself would not feel that there was anything difficult to say of.

Gojo Satoru said: "By the way, why are we discussing such a distant future? Look, that guy is still being offered a reward. How long he can live is still a question. Why are we worried about him?"

"..."

It's not that you Wujo Wu first mentioned it.

Xia Youjie glanced at Wujo Wu.

The chat between the two was interrupted by the editor sitting in the middle.

The editor sitting in the middle is the No. 40.00 publishing company in Japan—Ji Rongsha, which has a market share of about 1%. The total sales volume of pure text novels, light novels, popular books, comics, etc. is often No. The number of works published all over Japan and the world is also the largest number of publishers.

That is to say, under the hegemony "Ji Rong Society", other publishing houses are all fighting for No.2.

Now the middle-aged editor of Ji Rong Club sneered in his heart when he heard Ranpo's request.

For a mere author who speaks so much, he really doesn't know the heights of the sky and the earth.If it wasn't for Yusaku Kudo's strong recommendation, I'm afraid they wouldn't spare time to accompany this student who didn't know if he had graduated from high school.

The middle-aged editor of Ji Rong Club felt that Luanbu dared to make such a request now, and he would definitely make more difficult requests in the future.This Jirongsha is not a writer who lacks aura and force. Even if they don't have the "quality" of Edogawa Ranpo, they still have "quantity".

Luanpo's request would definitely not be accepted.

So the editor of Jirong Club simply said to Kudo Yusaku: "To be honest, such a contract condition is unheard of. I am not looking at the face of the great writer Kudo, and I will not come here specially."

At this time, the editor of Jirong Club was only worried that the rejection of Ranpo would affect the future cooperation with Yusaku Kudo.Therefore, his tone will not be too harsh.

"I came here this time mainly because I think that Mr. Kudo has a discerning eye, and this little Edogawa author really has aura. For your sake, I came here from Tokyo. But according to the standard, Edogawa Chuan Xiao’s works do not meet the requirements of our agency’s works. I originally hoped that the young writer could write a work that meets the mainstream works of our agency. Now, Mr. Kudo, you have also seen that the young writer’s heart is higher than the sky , is unwilling to listen to people's demands.

Here, on behalf of "Ji Rong Society", I rejected this potential young writer. I hope that the young writer of Edogawa will continue to create and embark on a bright road and bright future of his own. "

Yusaku Kudo knows that the mainstream works of Jirong Club, especially the mystery novel section, are more inclined to change, socialism and new mystery novels.Pure orthodox reasoning novels or hard-line reasoning are relatively small.If Ranpo only likes to write pure orthodox reasoning, it will definitely not be valued by Jirong Club, let alone give him those two rights.

In addition, the editor of Ji Rong Club only talked to himself throughout the whole process, and it was obvious that the Lord was sitting in front of him.If you are more sensitive, you will definitely feel the editor's contempt for Ranpo himself.

Even if this person agrees to accept, Kudo Yusaku will help Ranpo refuse.If the editor does not agree with the newcomer writer, the writer's own excellent talent may also be hidden by the editor.Although Ji Rong Society is the No. [-] Publishing House, good birds choose a tree to live in, and the taller the better.

After the editor of Jirong Society was sent away by Kudo Yusaku, in addition to the editor of Seigakukan, others also tried their best to communicate with Edogawa Ranpo.However, Ranpo insists that these two conditions do not change.

In Youkexin City, if he said that he didn't like any book, any book would be taken off the shelves immediately.And the editors are eager to pay Luanbu so that he can take the time to review the books in their hands.

Generally speaking, books that are said to be interesting by Luanbu can be squeezed into the best-selling books of the year in the market, and books that are not good-looking, no matter how famous the author is, generally cannot be sold.

In Youkexin City, this kind of environment where "readers only read the works and don't pay much attention to the author" especially tests the author's writing ability and sensitivity to hot spots, and Luanbu can be called an aircraft carrier among them. The ability to find hotspots is comparable to radar, one by one is more accurate, and you can even find works with advanced ideas and brain holes, and tell them what the creative trend will be in five years.

Seeing people walking away one after another, he didn't rush in random steps, and sat on the sofa in an even manner, eating cakes to satisfy his hunger.Now, only Yu Mori, the editor of Qing Xue Guan, is left.When the young editor Luanbu began to ask for conditions, he kept his head down and kept sending emails on his mobile phone.

In the eyes of other editors, although Seigakukan is one of the top five publishing houses in Japan, its book market share is not large. Most of them are published by Jirongsha, Yanbunsha, and Fuchuan, which mainly focuses on light novels. The community is divided.Just because this publishing house has a history of more than 100 years in Japan.In the past period of time, they were also responsible for compiling textbooks, so the "Qing Xue Guan" has always been well-known outside the world.But everyone in the industry knows that this Qing Xue Guan is just a "yesterday".

At the annual industry exchange conference, the editors of Qing Xue Guan were also in the corner.Therefore, the editors naturally thought that with them present, Morishita Yusen knew that he had no hope, so he could only distract himself and play with his mobile phone.The reason why Kudo Yusaku invited the editor of the Seigakukan, Morishita Yumori, was mainly because he had been in contact with him before.This editor is a leader among the younger generation of editors, with cutting-edge ideas and will not easily follow the mainstream.

Kudo Yusaku believes that Morishita Yumori will sign a contract with Edogawa Ranpo.

Sure enough, after Morishita Yumori put down his mobile phone, Yusaku Kudo saw the brunette youth walking towards Ranpo, and said: "I have already told the editor-in-chief about your request, and the new contract will be faxed, please wait patiently. "

Ranbu didn't seem to be surprised by this person's words, he nodded and said, "What's your name?"

Although he agreed, the editor has to say that this Edogawa Ranpo, compared with the rumors he has heard in his industry, can be called the craziest newcomer.No rookie would dare to say such a thing about the requirements alone.In other words, those newcomers did not dare to think so.

"It's raining under the forest."

This stylish gentleman editor in sunglasses paused, then smiled at Luanbu and said, "Please remember my name. Because I am your future editor."

"Okay."

Random steps should also be crisp and neat.

The author has something to say:

"Morishita Yumori" was Bole when the writer Edogawa Ranpo contributed "Two Cents".

I used his name here.
