When night falls again in Tokyo, the cherry blossoms are blooming during the day, and at night, the neon lights make it seem as if the whole city is romantic.

Roppongi's apartment.

Higashino Qiang is still the same as before, holding a cup of coffee and looking at the night scene outside.

Recently, he has had some leisure and no longer drinks the filling, but has learned to pour it by hand.

Grind your own beans and rush yourself, self-sufficient.

The house was filled with the smell of coffee.

But Mr. Keigo doesn't care about that.

"Saikyo! What the hell is going on with that Motoki Masahiro? Why did he suddenly want to make a movie about death? It's so strange, and besides, you're so weird, you rarely lose your temper, and this time you lose your temper very much...... I don't understand it at all. ”

Well, this ghost has been floating around Higashino for a while.

It started when the Takarazuka Building slammed the door.

Higashino Qiang was able to hold on to it when he was grinding beans before, but now he has a headache, so what should he do?

"Mr. Keigo, let me give you a rough outline. ”

What to talk about?

Of course, it's about this movie "The Undertaker".

Higashino told all the information he knew about the film, and the purpose was to analyze it with Mr. Keigo.

"Oh?...... Oh?...... I see. Mr. Keigo was so fascinated by what he heard that he didn't float anymore, and even heard, "Wow! In the end, this movie won the Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film?!"

"That's right. Higashino nodded.

Basically, some of the rumors about this movie, such as the theory that "The Undertaker" is adapted from Aoki Shinmon-sensei's "Diary of a Coffin Husband", and what is known now, Masahiro Motoki has indeed seen this one, but he is ready to find another way.

Also, because of this movie, Ryoko Hirosue can be regarded as a salted fish and turned over, and truly became an actor.

Of course, there are others, for example, after this movie, there is also a film with the same name.

That's right, in fact, it can be seen from the eponymous that appeared later that this movie is not adapted from "The Diary of a Coffin Husband".

Moreover, it can be seen from this point that Japan also has its own experience in the operation of 'IP'.

Maybe it's not particularly clear here, that is, they want to make a big 'IP', but they will also do some more reasonable operations according to the actual situation, for example, many film and television dramas are clearly advertisements for original works or animations.

As a movie, this "Undertaker" became popular and won the Oscar without the original work, so a copy was released and put on sale.

It's also quite a clever thing to do.

So, this information is spoken, Mr. Keigo he...

"Why are you losing your temper?"

yes, that's the key.

Higashino Qiang's face turned red, and he had no choice but to say: "Mr. Keigo, I'm just over 20 this year, so let me write a book about death? And it's still an undertaker? It's hard for me to write it, so what do you say? Could it be that in front of Masahiro Motoki, I can't write it? So, Mr. Kigo, don't you want to save face?"

These words ...

"Hahaha......" Mr. Keigo laughed when he heard this, but he also praised: "Yes, yes, saikyo, you still react quickly, if I am afraid I will be half a beat slower." ”

In this way, it can be regarded as protecting the prestige of Mr. Onigo?

To tell the truth, when Higashino Qiang chatted with Motoki, he was very surprised, but also very excited.

I can actually get in touch with the work "The Undertaker".

He's seen this movie, and it's really good.

Almost everyone in it performed very well, not to mention the performance of veteran and powerful movie stars like Yamazaki Nu, even Ryoko Hirosue has grown, of course, Sister Ryoko is still a lot worse.

It can be seen that she still has the traces of her previous idol stars.

But how do you write it yourself?

Higashino Qiang thinks that it is still difficult for him to write something more profound in this movie now.

But...

"Saikyo! Wait a minute, let me do the math, the person you have been in contact with now, this Masahiro Motoki, don't talk about him, then, director Yojiro Takida, as well as Ryoko Hirosue, and Mr. Yamazaki Nu, by the way, you have also been in contact with this old gentleman, when you first filmed "Thirteen Steps", there was wow, he also starred in "Imitation Criminal" and "Calling Love in the Center of the World", which has something to do with you.

Hey, don't hide.

You see, these people are connected to you, what does that mean?

It doesn't seem like there's anything wrong with writing this "The Undertaker", right?"

He is a great reasoner, and what Mr. Keigo said really makes sense.

Actually, Higashino Qiang himself is a little unwilling, but in this current situation, what will happen if he writes rashly?

If it is not well written, not only will Mr. Kigo's reputation be damaged, but what if this "The Undertaker" can't win the Oscar?

He Higashino Qiang is not the first to look forward to the American Oscars, but if this work changes unexpectedly because of himself, wouldn't it have immeasurable results?

So far, what he has done is actually to minimize the impact of himself, a traverser, on the future.

Coupled with this subject, he really hasn't been exposed to it, and he is indeed too young.

And.

"Let's write it, this "New Participant: The Wandering Blade", as well as the appearance of Yukawa Learning, Professor Scum, our task is still very heavy. ”

Higashino took out the manuscript paper and pen, and the coffee was placed on the side of the desk.

Seeing this, Mr. Keigo said, "I don't seem to be able to grasp the character of Shigeki Nagamine. ”

That's right, in the case of "Wandering Blade", Mr. Keigo is also needed to COS the male protagonist, Shigeki Nagamine.

Higashino Qiang looked at this ghost with a strange look in his eyes.

"Haha......" Mr. Keigo laughed and said, "Saikyo, are you afraid? I'm afraid that I won't be able to write this "Undertaker" well?"

Unexpectedly, Mr. Keigo guessed his thoughts, and Higashino Qiang tried his best to make a normal appearance on his face.

Mr. Keigo continued: "This is not like Saikyo you, and, saikyo, since you know the plot of that movie, why don't you just take advantage of your time traveler and write it according to that movie?

What Mr. Keigo said is indeed very tempting.

But Higashino looked at him and said simply, "Is this the way to shoot something profound? I don't really understand death myself." ”

As soon as these words came out, Mr. Keigo burst out laughing.

There was even a snap of applause.

"saikyo, you really didn't disappoint me! This attitude is the best, it's like you write Changfeng Chongshu, you still need my help, your understanding of yourself, your grasp of your own ability, it's really amazing!"

Mr. Keigo is a compliment, from the heart.

But, there is one more sentence.

"Actually, you're very unwilling. ”

Yes, not reconciled.

I was seen by this ghost again.

Unwilling, lack of confidence, these two mentalities appeared in Higashino Qiang at the same time.

Higashino Qiang blushed a little, but he still said: "So, I chose to lose my temper and cover it up, as for death......"

Speaking of this, Higashino Qiang suddenly stopped.

Mr. Keigo was very curious, "What's wrong?"

Higashino Qiang said a little helplessly: "Actually, death is not necessarily far away from me, Sister Quanshui, you know." ”

"Oh?" Mr. Keigo gave the question mark out.

Higashino Qiang naturally told me what would happen to Sister Quanshui in the future.

When Mr. Keigo heard this, he felt sad, "Saikyo, can you think of a way to save her? A good girl, like a beautiful flower, has withered like this, and people really can't help but feel distressed." ”

Higashino Qiang was also touched by the ghost's sorrow, but he still said: "But what can I do? I'm just writing, and I'm not studying medicine, besides, in terms of cancer, is it useful to study medicine? Also, can I tell her in advance? Can I talk about it? Isn't that the end of it? I, at most, I'll help her find better medical resources, from the perspective of a friend, and also, I'll write something for her, and ...... Mr. Keigo, I'm just an ordinary person. ”

Mr. Keigo was already in tears when he heard this, "Saikyo, you are really a good person. ”

Higashino Qiang wants to complain about Mr. Keigo's ghost, it's too sentimental, you have to know that you're just a ghost.

But he couldn't say that.

"Cancer, was it conquered at your time?"

"Probably not, but ......"

"But what?"

"It's that some of the concepts about this terminal illness have changed, and there are ......"

As he spoke, Higashino stopped again.

Mr. Keigo couldn't help it and said, "What's wrong?"

Higashino Qiang suddenly said: "Mr. Keigo, I seem to have a special desire to write "The Undertaker". ”

It's strange, why is there such a change?

Mr. Keigo had been with Higashino for a long time, and he suddenly shouted, "Saikyo!

His tone was not a question, it was an affirmation.

Higashino Qiang held his cheek with one hand, and he said: "I don't have any special methods, I'm just a mortal, I can't snatch a life from the hands of death, but if I can write it, and then, after Sister Quanshui reads it, so that she can face a terminal illness and death, her mood is more comfortable, and her will is stronger, then ......"

"She'll live, right?" said Mr. Keigo's eyes were full of excitement.

"Of course it's not that simple. "Higashino Qiang can only tell the truth," However, from the medical point of view of later generations, I am not a professional, but I have heard some things, that is, cancer, but as long as the patient can maintain a relatively healthy lifestyle habits and a happy mood, it can really prolong life, and even, the later view is that the cancer cells cannot be completely killed anyway, and if they are killed, then we will also die, simply, we will live in symbiosis with cancer cells, and there is nothing bad about living happily, and many later drugs have been developed for this purpose. ”

It's true that Higashino Qiang only understands the skin, but these concepts, in this era, are definitely super advanced.

However, he had no way to tell anyone about it, so he could only tell this ghost.

When Mr. Keigo heard this, he was as happy as a child, "I see! Saikyo! That's what you think, you want to write this "Undertaker" in order to make people face death and no longer be afraid. In this case, even if you have a terminal illness, but after watching this one, your mood will be different, and you may live longer, right? ”

Higashino nodded, "But this one, for me, is too difficult." ”

Mr. Keigo laughed when he heard this, "What's so difficult? Saikyo! You are the strongest! You must be able to do it! How many difficulties have you faced before, but you haven't found a way?!

"This ......" Higashino Qiang still hesitated.

"Anyway, there's still a lot of time!What are you afraid of!Come on, let's write the current ones first, and I'm going to COS Changfeng Heavy Tree, I'm the angry father now. ”

Mr. Keigo's ghost is also too interesting, and he keeps beating Higashino strongly.

To tell the truth, Higashino Qiang really doesn't want to give up this unexpected opportunity, not to mention, this opportunity is likely to have unexpected effects.

The only difficulty is whether he can grasp the more profound connotation of this "The Undertaker".

He was too young, he had too little experience.

Mr. Keigo didn't hesitate so much, he was just a ghost after all, and then sent chicken blood, "Think about it, what were our previous works like? How awesome our previous works were! Not long ago, we sanctioned a heinous bastard!"

Saikyo!

This time we are going to write about death, but our purpose is to save people!

Saikyo, our works can save people, this ...... Haha, I'm so excited, not only the girl from the spring, but the others?

Think about it, they see you, are motivated, and will live better.

Even if they don't know the credit for your work, even if they don't appreciate you, will you be unhappy?

As long as you can have one more minute, everyone can live in this world for one more minute, what a merit!

Saikyo, maybe if I get involved in this, I can become a Buddha!

Even if you don't have a straight wood reward, it's okay!"

In the face of such a statement, Higashino Qiang has no reason to refuse.

"Is this the power of literature?"

"Yes!Saikyo, do your best! The light of Kigo-sensei can't be blocked even by dark clouds!"

"So, go to Masahiro Motoki?"

"Do you want to tell him?"

"It seems to be a bit of trouble. ”

"Then let's not talk to him. ”

"Well, my ghost teacher acts, why do I need to explain it to others!"

"Wow, that's a powerful statement. ”

"Ahem......"

"Come on, I'm a long peak tree now. ”

One person and one ghost can talk about these surprising things.

Higashino Qiang wrote today, if God helps...

PS: The third more sent, I hope you can like it, I will continue to work the black car, please don't worry, there will be unexpected developments later, thank you sincerely!
