Editor-in-chief Tanaka has been in a good mood lately.

At the beginning, Hayama shouted out a 30% share, which is correct so far.

Kigo-sensei's work is also fantastic.

Tanaka hardly cares much about it now, even if he sleeps all day, as soon as he wakes up, he will see the news that Mr. Kigo's works are selling well.

It's so comfortable.

It's been a long time since the editor-in-chief Tanaka has felt the kind of pressure that Japanese society places on the part of company employees.

Although I am not an ordinary employee, I used to have a lot of pressure, but now I am much better and can spend more time with my family.

I would like to thank Mr. Kigo.

Of course, it was also because of his unique vision.

Anyway, Editor-in-Chief Tanaka is really in a good mood.

And then there is the contribution of the film adaptation of Mr. Ghosto's works, and it continues to be a big hit, which can already be said to be a definite fact.

But on this day, someone came to him Tanaka editor-in-chief.

"Watanabe-sensei?"

"Yes, he said he had something important to discuss. ”

Tanaka is a little strange, Watanabe-sensei is so old, he can not move on weekdays, or he can be found in Ginza, but how did he come to Kadokawa today?

If you want to talk about Japanese homes, they are really very free, and basically few families will always publish books in one publishing house, especially well-known ones, which one gives good conditions, and go to whichever one.

The literary world of Watanabe-sensei, Taishan Hokuto, appeared in Kadokawa, which can be said to be ordinary.

So, what's going on?

The general reception room is not good, so ......

"It doesn't matter, just talk about it at the bookstore in Kadokawa. ”

"Oh, Watanabe-sensei is so casual. ”

"Haha, I'm just getting older, and it's good to walk more. ”

"Then I'll walk with the teacher. ”

Originally, Tanaka proposed to go to the well-known ryotei nearby, but Watanabe-sensei didn't want to bother.

The two of them were in the bookstore in Kadokawa, hanging out.

Junichi Watanabe is different from other older families, and most of the older families in Japan like to wear kimonos, but Watanabe-sensei prefers to wear suits.

Tanaka knows this very well, and it has something to do with Watanabe-sensei's experience.

But today, it's important to talk about business.

Unexpectedly, Mr. Watanabe spoke first.

"Mr. Tanaka, I have an idea, and I hope you Kadokawa can cooperate. ”

"Oh, of course it'......"

"Don't be in a hurry to agree, listen to what I've to say. ”

"Okay, listen up. ”

"Mr. Tanaka, I've seen the latest work of Mr. Kigo, and I think it's very good, in my opinion, such a work has a chance to win the grand prize, but you also know those awards......"

"Mr. Watanabe, I heard that Mr. Atoda Takashi is already making reforms, and he wants to take the initiative to weaken his power as the president of the Literature Promotion Association. ”

"Haha...... I've also heard that his reform is indeed good, and I appreciate it very much, but at the moment, he is in collusion with the two of Goki Kanyuki, even if the power of the chairman is weakened, it will not have much impact on him. ”

When Tanaka heard this, he couldn't help but smile.

In the past, he was also a literary and artistic publishing house, and he also had very close contact with the Literature Promotion Association.

This promotion association can be said to control the supreme power in Japanese literature, and the top prize, the top newcomer award, and several other awards are all very important, and the funding of Japan as a country is absolutely supreme.

However, many of these systems are not so perfect.

The aging of the members is like the Japanese society, and they are all too old.

The literary level of these members is naturally very high, but the literati themselves are relatively stubborn.

And the older literati are even more stubborn, to put it mildly, they are all old and stubborn, of course, this has to be against the female family, but in Japan, everyone knows that the status of women is too low.

It is naturally a good thing that the reform is proposed at the moment, but if you look closely, the relationship between Atoda and Goki Kanyuki is very good, and this reform seems to be just a flash in the pan for now.

Of course, Tian Zhongli also understands that if he carries out reforms by himself, he probably needs to consider the first thing to consider, that is, to let himself continue to hold on to power.

Otherwise, many reformers in history will be countered in the end, especially in Europe and the United States, especially from the top down.

Although Mr. Watanabe was not in his position, he saw it clearly, and Tanaka agreed.

"So ......"

Watanabe-sensei interrupted Tanaka this time, and he continued, "I hope that you can help make it happen, and Kigo-sensei's work will be translated and entered the United States. ”

Entering the United States, this thing is easy to say, not simple, but how difficult it is...... Tanaka understood.

He said, "Watanabe-sensei wants to help too?"

"Yes. Watanabe-sensei nodded.

The reason why Watanabe-sensei is needed for this matter is because it has something to do with that incident.

Mr. Watanabe has many friends in the literary world in the United States.

Actually, that happened back then.

There was an old lady in the United States, a brilliant painter and a writer, and she was really an old lady, and that year she was 100 years old, and she received a letter from Japan, which told the story of a young man's troubles.

Do you want to continue your career as a doctor or do you want to devote yourself to literature?

The old lady once had a book called "It's Never Too Late to Start."

This is probably the story of the old lady's own life, and she only began to paint at the age of seventy-seven.

The story of this old lady was known to young people in Japan, and they wrote this letter when she was 100 years old.

The old lady died for a long time, and it was not until 2001 that the letter came to light.

That young man's name was Harunmizuka, which is now Junichi Watanabe.

The old lady's name was Anna Mary Moses.

This story became a good story for a while.

Therefore, Watanabe-sensei's works also have a certain degree of popularity in the United States, and naturally he also has some friends.

However, Tanaka had already understood.

"Watanabe-sensei, your idea is to help Akigo-sensei achieve certain achievements in the United States, such as some awards, right?"

"Well, in terms of time, it should be next year's Reasoning Association Awards. ”

Interesting.

It's very interesting.

As soon as these words came out, Tanaka was already completely sure what Watanabe-sensei wanted to do.

Quite simply, because of the so-called next year's Reasoning Association Award, this award was announced this year.

Interesting, right?

But in fact, it's basically the same in Japan.

The results of the Japan Mystery Writers Association Awards are also announced in advance, usually in April, and then at the end of May.

To put it simply, Japan can learn this by learning from the United States.

You must know that the promotion association in Japan is just an ordinary corporate association, which is just an ordinary company.

But it was really too hard to get exactly the same situation as the United States.

Crucially, the U.S. Promotion Award was announced in early December.

Other words!

Announcing the results, if it is the work of Mr. Kigo, there is no need to win an award, as long as you can get a shortlist, or a good evaluation, then it is enough to affect the Naoki Award in Japan!

The timing is very coincidental, and the announcement of next year's awards in early December is just in time.

As a veteran of the publishing industry, Tanaka has fully understood Watanabe-sensei's plan.

"Of course we don't have any problems with Kadokawa!"

Yes, this fit, just needs a fit.

So, success or not...... Tanaka doesn't seem to care about this issue.

At the level of Mr. Ghosto, his works, as long as there are no major problems in the translation process, will definitely not be bad.

In fact, the current situation is that the reasoning of the United States is also at a low ebb.

Traditional literature is declining all over the world.

Tanaka has already stated his position, but!

"Watanabe-sensei, I have a question for you. ”

Junichi Watanabe was already very happy at this time, and he nodded, "Please speak." ”

Tanaka asked very solemnly, "Teacher, why are you so helpful to Onigo-sensei?"

Junichi Watanabe seemed to be prepared, but he just smiled and said, "For hope." ”

It's very simple and very short.

But it shocked Tian Zhongli.

"Watanabe-sensei! I see!

A deep bow.

Watanabe-sensei nodded, smiled, and left.

The two talked about this matter, which is definitely a major event related to the Japanese literary scene.

But they still couldn't imagine how big a wave this incident would cause.

......

August 11, Tokyo.

The weather was sunny.

It seems that at this time, unless there is a typhoon, the weather in Tokyo will be ...... Compare the heat.

It may be a coincidence that Typhoon Maria has just passed through Tokyo.

It has now shifted to Hokkaido.

Today, there is light rain and the wind is not very strong.

C70, which was not affected.

Coming out of Ariake Station, you can see it at a glance.

Huo.

Wuyang and Wuyang's are all people.

Higashino Qiang didn't know what Watanabe-sensei and Tanaka-editor-in-chief were going to do at this time, after all, Watanabe-sensei didn't say anything specific, he seemed to be going to do it single-handedly.

So what else can Higashino Qiang?

Of course, Higashino Qiang also knows the story of Mr. Watanabe and Grandma Moses, after all, it's strange to not know such a famous event.

It's just that Higashino Qiang is more concerned about Mr. Watanabe's real name...... You deserve to write about love.

Well, in this case, he won't say it, after all, my ghost teacher also wants to save face.

But for now......

Higashino is very crisp.

Do you need to dress up in C70?

Absolutely.

So, how does he Dongye Qiang disguise and dress up?

"Hey, there's a ghost teacher here, too, and it's quite similar!"

"At least it's a big man, come on, take a picture together!"

"The clothes are good, white suits, ha...... Teacher Onigo, where is your righteous flying kick?"

Well, that's right.

Higashino strong cos himself...

PS: The first update is sent, thank you very much! Watanabe's teacher's story is still very inspirational, and as a love giant of Japanese literature, it is indeed worthy of respect, don't worry, let the black car I write slowly.
