Chapter 257: I Earned a Billion Last Year?

"The 132nd Naoki Awards have been announced, and Mitsuyo Tsunoda's "She on the Other Side" has been awarded!"

"Naoki has a lot of insiders!"

"Mr. Kigo-sensei's "White Night Walk" was not awarded, and Mr. Junichi Watanabe, the chairman of the Society for the Promotion of Trusted Literature, did not express any opinion on this!"

Mr. Takataka said that please believe in the professionalism of the judges. ”

Miyuki Miyabe said that if there is an invitation in the future, she will participate in the review. ”

At that time, after the "Literary Spring and Autumn Festival" published the award-winning works of the Naoki Award in the second half of 2004, it was as if the curtain had fallen.

All kinds of rumors around the Naoki Prize, now there are results, and in the end, Mr. Onigo's "White Night Walk" still didn't win this big award.

But,Everyone seems to have been inspired by Mr. Onigo.,Continue to buy this one.。

The machines in the printing house can't stop, and the bookstore is always out of stock.

In such a state, some people have seized the opportunity.

"We, Kinokuniya, have started selling Kigo-sensei's "White Night Walk"!"

When Katase was interviewed, he had a smile on his face.

And, of course, Junjiudo.

Even "Rebellion", which they didn't sell before, is now placed in a prominent position.

What is this?

A large-scale real incense scene in early 2005?

I don't know, who knows?

The change of power of the Literature Promotion Association naturally has a lot of topics, and several bigwigs in the Japanese literary world are extremely smart.

Everyone has the ambition to stay silent.

Anyway, don't say anything, that's for the best.

The old fritters chose it like this, which is really powerful.

After the incident passed, everyone didn't remember, and that's it.

However, an interesting situation arose right away.

"Yukio Mishima awarded the award to "White Night Walking"!"

"Young Master Award, it is also announced that Mr. Onigo's "White Night Walking" has been shortlisted!"

"The Reasoning Association Award has also announced the latest list of finalists, and Mr. Onigo's "White Night Walking" is among them!"

"The Yomiuri Shimbun Literary Awards, which did not receive a long-form award in the previous year, were shortlisted for this time Mr. Kigo's "White Night Walk"!"

It seems that one award after another has come out.

The most interesting thing this time is the Yomiuri Shimbun Literary Award, which is the power represented by Ishihara and the financier behind it.

So, what is this?

Attitude!

Many smart people smell it at once.

This year is 2005, and this year is going to be the most critical time for a major event.

Japan Post, Reform!

Postal, or simply mailed letters.

Because this mailing letter is the key.

There is no way, the times have developed to the current stage, and human communication has reached a new level.

Letters are not so everyday anymore.

However, there is a particular key to this.

Correspondence is mandatory, as it is an important United Nations requirement on human beings.

That is to say, this thing may not be used much, but it must be there, it may not be profitable, and it must exist, otherwise it will be blamed by other countries.

Postal reform is changing not only in Japan but also around the world, and even the United States and Europe are doing this.

In fact, all countries know that this thing is not easy to change, and this year, it is the biggest key to Japan's postal reform.

If this is not done well, then there will be a political crisis.

With such a big background, it's definitely a good opportunity.

In other words, will the so-called struggle for literature involve a greater power struggle behind it?

I'm afraid that Ishihara, this old guy, will be challenged strongly.

In short, the problem of this Naoki Award is not a literary problem at all.

But these things, in Japan, have little to do with the younger generation.

"Support Kigo-sensei!"

"This "White Night Walking" is also so well written, isn't it!

"Everyone, should we pay attention to the issue of the heroes and heroines of "White Night Walking"?"

"That's right! I heard that Fuji TV is going to shoot this movie, so it must be arranged on the ninth day of the month. ”

"Who will play Yukiho?"

"I guess, according to Ghost Go-sensei's preference, it might be Masami, right?"

On the Internet, especially on the 2CH forum, the ghost party is discussing such topics.

"White Night Walking" is about to start filming, who will play the male and female leads?

At the moment, the situation of the Ghost Party is ...... Anyway, everyone is already very clear that Mr. Kigo values Masami Nagasawa more.

In other words, everyone knows in their hearts, your ghost teacher is Higashino Qiang, and they all ran to Shikoku with Masami, playing cosplay, Sakutaro and Aki.

These things, as the biggest support force of the ghost teacher, what else does the ghost party not understand?

Of course, everyone won't say it.,Higashino Qiang is Higashino Strong.,Ghost O Teacher is still the one in our Onigo Party's heart who wears a Kamen Rider V3 helmet.,Ghost Teacher who always sends righteous flying kicks.。

However, is Masami really suitable to play Yukiho?

Regarding the question of Xuesui's performers, this is slowly becoming popular on the Internet.

This topic is still only in the developmental stage.

But interesting things, one after the other.

"The annual guide list, 'This reasoning is really powerful', listed "White Night Walking" as the first in 2004!"

"A number of lists for 2004 have been released, and Mr. Onigo continues to be on the list!"

"Who made the most money in Japan last year?

The list, the annual list, which can be said to be a summary of the previous year.

This reasoning is really powerful, this list is still very influential, and this time "White Night Walking" is ranked first, as far as their own statements are concerned.

Well deserved!

The publishing house has won a lot of praise from the Onigo Party for this.

There is a future.

But actually, there's another interesting thing, and that's ...

"In 2005, we launched a new list for the first time!

Is this light really powerful?

The guys in the Treasure Island Club are clearly a group of people with naming disorder, or they are simply trying to save trouble, rather than trying to build a 'really good' series.

But, it's really powerful, that is, Si Guoyi, and Dongye Qiang has a deep relationship.

""A Future Without a Future", Makoto Ito X Hiroshi Kanzaki, this light, ranked second on the list!"

Well, that's it.

Makoto Ito's work won the second place.

So, what about the first place?

"Suzumiya Haruhga Series".

Well, it seems that second place is also quite okay.

The beginning of this year, the summary of last year, is indeed a bit interesting.

But, how can these lists be the most eye-catching?

"Guys, do you want to know who made the most money in Japan last year?"

"The tax ranking is about to be announced!"

"Who was last year's revenue king?"

Interesting, the tax leaderboard is coming.

You know, Japan's tax rate is there, and basically from the amount of taxes, you can deduce how much money the person earns.

In Japan, for example, manga artists have long occupied the top few of the tax charts.

Akira Toriyama and Rumiko Takahashi, but they often compete for one or two places.

The tax payment for both of them is generally around 200 million yen.

According to the normal backward extrapolation, you can probably guess how much they earn.

If it is 200 million yen, it should be at least 2 billion yen or more.

Of course, there will be many ways to avoid taxes, so 2 billion yen is a conservative estimate.

In terms of the literary world.

The tax level of the family is still worse.

In fact, the strongest taxpayer should be Mr. Haruki Murakami.

But.

Japan's tax law has a peculiar rule that if you do not live in Japan for a long time, you do not have to pay taxes.

The reason is also very simple, and it is also very simple.

Anyway, I can't find this taxpayer, so if he doesn't pay taxes, there's no way.

If you don't pay it, you won't pay it.

This is the same reason that the police in Japan chased down the bikers.

Japan's police can drive up to 180 kilometers per hour, as long as the speed of the biker is higher than that.

Okay, okay, you guys go to the speed.

Because we can't catch up, then let's not chase it.

That's it.

Therefore, on the elevated highway near Tokyo Bay in Japan now, there are many bikers at night.

In the same way, there are all kinds of old drivers on Mt. Haruna, who are very active.

As a result, Mr. Murakami's tax payment is relatively small.

In 2003, it was only 60 million yen.

Completely inconsistent with who he is.

In fact, his royalty income in Chinese mainland alone is more than 6 million RMB.

And this year, there is a name that appears at the top of the Japanese tax list!

"First, Mr. Kigo, 130 million yen in taxes!"

"Kigo-sensei's income in 2004 may be as high as one billion yen!"

"One billion yen! Kigo-sensei has created the highest income in his family!"

Originally, these lists were more curious, but this year, Mr. Ghost Wu is on the tax list, in the category of home, and he has the momentum to attack cartoonists.

That's pretty impressive, isn't it?

All of a sudden, everyone was talking.

"Onigo sensei Saigao!"

"It's really too strong, he makes so much money, and I think it's as it should be. ”

"Willingly!, Mr. Onigo, please accept my money, as long as you sell it to me!"

"Ghost Go-sensei is too prolific!"

"It's already a big sell, and the book is published so quickly, Mr. Ghost Go, you're too hardworking!"

These comments are really laughable.

However, it seems that everyone has not forgotten that Mr. Kigo said before that he wants to be the best-selling home in Japan.

Is that done?

Regarding this matter, Higashino Qiang, who is in Roppongi, is also summing up.

"Did I make a billion?"

"saikyo!

"To be honest, in the past year, I either wrote or prepared for exams, or I played a role, and then I was running, and I was very busy, I really don't remember clearly. ”

"Saikyo, don't say it, I think you're just showing off in front of me. ”

One person and one ghost began to discuss the issue of income.

Higashino Qiang is somewhat confused about his income, because what he usually sees is some numbers, and he is interested in those 0.

It's already a little numb.

This is really not pretending.

Higashino Qiang felt that he should do a good job of calculating how much he earned last year.

Or maybe what I went through last year, it seems like it would be interesting.

However, some people didn't let him make last year's summary so easily.

Ding-dong, ding-dong.

The doorbell rang.

Passionate female neighbor?

Higashino Qiang hurriedly went over to open the door, but he didn't expect such a scene outside the door.

"Ernie sauce, what are you doing?"

"Higashino-kun, why are you so slow?"

Enthusiastic female neighbors, two...
