Revive it!Wenhao Press

Whether it was Kisaragi Luno or Bailangshe, their movements were unexpectedly fast.After announcing the publication plan on the variety show, Bailang Club released the preview of Kisaragi Luno's column serialization and anthology on the same day.

Kisarazuki Luno's column is scheduled to be published in "Bunarishi" for a quarter, a total of three issues.The subsequent plan has not been announced, but it is conceivable that if the response is overwhelming, Kisaragi Runo's column may become a permanent feature of "The Age of Literature".

This is no longer a battle between writers and writers, but an unfair duel where stars in the entertainment industry invade with a large number of fans.

"This is definitely not equal competition." Sitting on the sofa of Hoshinosha, Jun Huali watched the news about Runo Kisaragi's writing on the Internet, frowned and muttered to herself.

Huali Jun has already found Kisaragi Luno's performance video and watched it.Although she is positioned as an idol, Kisaragi Runo is undoubtedly a person with extremely high professional standards.Whether it is singing or acting, her performance far exceeds the standard of ordinary idols and has reached a professional level.

It can be said like this: If you don't become an idol, but become a singer or an actor, Kisaragi Runo's light will never be buried.She is like an all-around person, and she is still very beautiful.

But that doesn't mean she can write well.

Kisaragi Runo published some articles on the Internet that will be included in the anthology "To the 17-year-old You".After learning that she was going to publish and serialize the column, Hualichun read these articles and drew a conclusion from them.

Idol, actor, and singer Kisaragi Runo can never be a writer.

Because in her article, something decisive is missing.

Holding the prepared sample booklet, Hualichun called the little white tiger and the random dog.The two non-human teachers were still immersed in the excitement that their works would be published in a single volume. When they ran over, the little white tiger's tail was straight up like a flagpole; the squinting-eyed puppy was happily jumping around He ran over in small steps.

Seeing the excited faces of the two unmanned teachers, Hualichun felt that her words became more difficult to utter.After seeing Hualichun's embarrassed appearance, the little white tiger walked around her twice in puzzlement, put his paws on her knees, straightened up, and asked in puzzlement, "Meow meow?"

But the Ranbu dog on the other side noticed something, squinted his eyes and opened them suddenly, revealing eyes like green emeralds.

"That's what happened."

Hualijun took a deep breath, and still told the two teachers who were not human about Kisaragi Runo.

"If the single book is released according to the original plan, the time may collide with Kisaragi Luno's new anthology, and customers will be separated by her book. Not only us, but also other books sold at the same time." Huali Jun said, " The display space in bookstores, newspapers, TV, Internet and other advertising resources are all limited, and of course the sales rankings are also the same. To be honest, Kisaragi Kisaragi has just made a notice, and the online discussions are all about her. thing."

"So, now we are faced with two choices."

"Postponing the release to avoid Kisaragi Luno's limelight," Huali Jun said, "It's still going to be released according to the original plan, facing the battle with Kisaragi Luno and Bailang Club."

"This may determine the fate of the first booklet of the two teachers, so I can't decide alone." She clenched her hands on her knees, "So, it depends on what the two teachers want to do."

The little white tiger and Ranbugou looked at each other, and then looked at Hualichun with firmness.

"Meow, woof, woof!" They yelled loudly at the same time, and although the language was different, the momentum was enough to make Hualichun understand the choice of the two teachers who were not human.

"I understand!" She nodded vigorously, "Then, "The Story of the Mountain and the Moon" and "The Detective Collection of Akechi Kogoro" will be released as scheduled!"

"To be honest, I want to do this too." Hualichun looked at Xiaobaihu and Ranbugou, and said softly, "Although I know that it is a terrible thing to meet the combination of Kisaragi Luno and Bailangshe head-on, but if you are here What kind of literature, what kind of writer are you, if you hold back at such a time?"

"Runo Kisaragi has several million fans, but not all of them will buy her anthology." She said while calculating, "There should be quite a few fans besides the "Literary Times" People who are interested in the entertainment world will go to see her serial column. Describing the world of glamorous luxury that actually exists but cannot be touched by ordinary people-this type of article will attract many readers in itself. And this It is the natural advantage of Kisaragi Runo as an entertainer."

This passage just fell into the ears of the Fitzgerald who came out of the library.

The large golden retriever has already put on the high-end brown suit that Huali purely drew when drawing cards, and the collar still has a classic houndstooth pattern.He looked up at the back of Hualichun's head, after a while he looked away thoughtfully, and walked away slowly.

"The content of this book, the tension seems to be insufficient..."

In the cubicle on the first floor of Bailang Club, Nishimura held the new plan handed over by Akira Shimizu with a hesitant expression.

"You can try to write it, maybe the effect of the specific writing will be better than the imagination based on the plan alone." He looked up at Qing Shuiming, "But relatively, if the effect is not good after writing a paragraph, Instead, it will waste more time and energy..."

"Mr. Shimizu, what do you think?"

Facing Nishimura's question, Qing Shuiming silently shook his head.

"I don't know." He said in a low voice, "I was shocked when I saw Hoshinosha's work, and then I was hit by the editor-in-chief Noguchi..."

Speaking of this, Qing Shuiming choked up: "... was asked by the editor-in-chief Noguchi to publish the serial within three months, so I had to forcefully write it down, but in the past month, the planning has repeatedly hit the wall."

"Up to now, I don't know whether the plan I wrote is good or not." His eyes were slightly red from exhaustion and anxiety, "Even the mood swings in daily life have become less, and I am numb. gone."

"Teacher Shimizu..." Nishimura looked at him blankly, feeling worried, "Has it reached this level?"

Obviously, at the award ceremony of the Newcomer Award, this child was still in high spirits, but in just over a month, he became like a trapped animal...

The two sat in the cubicle, relatively silent.

In the end, what broke the silence was a voice that Qing Shuiming had never expected to appear.

"How is the serialization going, gifted high school writer?"

It was Satoshi Noguchi's voice that sounded from the entrance of the small cubicle.Akira Shimizu raised his head in astonishment, and found Satoshi Noguchi standing at the entrance of the cubicle, looking down at him.

After meeting his gaze, Noguchi Tomo smiled.It's just that this seemingly ordinary smile makes Qing Shuiming's back feel cold at this moment.

"Mr. Shimizu, it seems that you have never been to the editorial department." Noguchi said, "Are you only willing to meet and discuss with Nishimura on the first floor?"

Qing Shuiming immediately looked away, lowered his head and pretended to be reading his manuscript.But Noguchi Satoshi did not let him go, but took two steps forward and sat down in the narrow cubicle.

"Nishimura, how's the progress?" he asked.

"There is still a little..." Nishimura said softly, "The tension in the project is not enough... and Mr. Shimizu is also lost now, and his perception of the work has become dull."

"yes."

Tomo Noguchi let out a breath, raised his hand and patted Akira Shimizu on the shoulder, grabbed his shoulder and shook it forcefully: "This is not acceptable, Mr. Shimizu. Your serialization has already been scheduled, and there is still time left." Less than two months. Readers are eagerly anticipating it."

"It's our responsibility to satisfy them, don't you think?"

Qing Shuiming dared not speak.But even with his head down, he could feel Noguchi Satoshi's eyes staring at him.

The kind of gaze that seemed impossible to avoid no matter where he fled.If one day Noguchi Satoshi doesn't pay attention to him, it's just because he doesn't care.On the contrary, if Tomo Noguchi wanted to make trouble for him, no matter where he fled, he would still be unable to fly.

——If I hadn't said those words when I received the award... No, it would have been fine if I hadn't signed a serialization contract with "The Age of Literature and Art".

Qing Shuiming thought wildly.But after a few seconds, the hand on his shoulder that made him feel like he was sitting on pins and needles was finally retracted.

"However, the main purpose of my coming here this time is not to promote serialization." Noguchi Satoshi changed the subject again, "You should also know that Kisaragi Runo is going to publish an anthology, right?"

At the point where he had to speak, Qing Shuiming had no choice but to answer: "I saw that episode of the variety show."

"That's easy to say." Tomo Noguchi said, "Runo Kisaragi said in the variety show that she was deeply moved after watching our newcomer award, so she decided to publish the article she wrote. So I hope You can cooperate with Kisaragi Runo as much as possible to promote."

"After all, she also specifically mentioned the Newcomer Award, so I want to create an atmosphere where you have a good relationship as much as possible, so as to facilitate joint publicity. For example, you can write some related blogs, tweets, and send messages to Kisaragi Luno Write a preface to the anthology or a girdle of recommendations..."

Akira Shimizu lowered his head, listening to Tomo Noguchi's words, and remained silent.

After Kisarazuki Luno publicly announced that he wanted to write, he knew the reason why he met her in the Bailangshe building, and therefore found the essays she had published on her blog.

In Tsukino Luno's essays, the use of words is quite subtle, just like when she skillfully uses acting skills that are not lost to professional actors in film and television.This is something Qing Shuiming has to admit.But her article still doesn't work.

If he had to choose, he would not recommend Runo Kisaragi's articles.

"……this matter……"

Qing Shuiming's lips trembled, and he finally said, "Can I refuse?"

After he finished speaking, his shoulder muscles tensed, and the last time he was promised to be serialized by Tomo Noguchi appeared in his mind.However, unexpectedly, although Noguchi Satoshi's expression cooled down, he did not attack him.

"Are you sure?" he asked, "This opportunity is not something that can be obtained casually. You should be glad that Runo Kisaragi has a good impression of you. You must know that she is Reiwa's number one idol, casually on the street Drink coffee, and that coffee shop will be on the news. As long as it is written by Kisaragi Runo, even if it is shit, there will be a lot of people paying for it..."

Hearing this, Qing Shuiming suddenly raised his head: "So...you know? The article written by Kisaragi Runo looks very beautiful, but it lacks one very important thing..."

"So what, anyway, as long as it can sell well." The editor's words instantly made Qing Shuiming speechless.

"Runo Kisaragi's anthology is a book that is sure and will definitely sell well." Noguchi said coldly, "As long as you cooperate with her, your works will definitely sell more. As a newcomer who just debuted, even if you get This kind of opportunity is rare in a hundred years for the guy who came to us for the literary award. So at this time, you should put away your self-assertive arrogance and choose the path that is most beneficial to your future."

"What's more, her writing isn't that bad, is it?" he said, "People's expectations for idols are to face them with a beautiful, energetic, and perfect face at all times, and to become the spiritual pillar of fans, and that's all. Kisaragi Luno perfectly responded to people's expectations of her, isn't this the best result?"

"I'll ask again for the last time," Noguchi asked, "Do you really want to say no?"

"I..." Qing Shuiming lowered his eyes, his heart was beating violently, "I can't write..."

"Really? I see."

Noguchi Satoshi didn't force Akira Shimizu this time, and didn't even continue to ask about the planning that had happened many times. Instead, he stood up and walked out of the cubicle: "Anyway, in this job, someone who can replace you must As many as there are. If you don’t do it, there will naturally be a lot of writers rushing to do it.”

Noguchi Satoshi left without looking back.

Watching the back of Noguchi Satoshi leaving, although he refused the job, but at that moment, Shimizu Akira still felt a chill in his heart.

As if he had been, utterly useless, felt.

So, will the useless self be abandoned?
