Chapter 136: The Crab Feast, the Feast of Thanksgiving, the Layout of "Dragon Sakura" (Second Update)
It's really weird to say that this year's situation is really weird.
Mr. Ghost got a super strong sales at the beginning of the year, and I thought that I could easily sell more than one million and sit on the throne of the best-selling person.
Unexpectedly, it didn't take long for Miyabe-sensei's "Imitation Criminal" and Mr. Murakami's "Kafka by the Sea" to appear.
In addition, the traditional book market in Japan is already going downhill, and this million sales are really bumpy.
Fortunately, Higashino Qiang operates well in it, taking advantage of the situation, disrupting the situation, and saying a word about the extreme operation may be almost meaningful, but it is very sassy, there are still some of them.
Achieving such an achievement at such a young age is something to celebrate in any case.
That's a good meal.
......
Crab Doraku is a very impressive chain of cuisine in Tokyo.
As the name suggests, you know exactly what this restaurant is doing, and almost all of the dishes are based on crab.
These crabs are mainly snow crabs, red-haired crabs, and king crabs.
In fact, what is the difference between these two so-called crabs, Higashino Qiang doesn't understand very well.
He just knew that what he was most afraid of in his previous life was river crabs.
But in fact, he also knows that river crabs are very delicious.
"Actually, it's very simple, teacher, have you seen the signboard outside? There's a crab on it, and that's the snow crab. ”
As for the problem of crabs, Hisagi helped explain.
After hearing this, Higashino Qiang still didn't speak much, and he didn't seem to understand.
Genos figured it out on the side, "I know, look at the spines, the one with the big and many spines on the body is the king crab, there are no spines, and the one that is very smooth is the snow crab." ”
In this way, it is really vivid, and Higashino Qiang observed that it was indeed so.
Interesting, interesting.
Today's meal is good, so I brought the two of them with me.
"All the consumption in this field is paid by my son Higashino. ”
That's it.
"Saigao!"
Hisagi and Genos cheered.
This crab is definitely not cheap, but the quality of the crab in this is still guaranteed.
First, I picked a lot, I was not small, which one I wanted, and then the master helped with the cooking.
As for how to eat, it is also complicated.
There is crab sashimi, which is easy to understand.
The two thickest legs on the crab body, if you remove the meat inside, you can dip it in wasabi and soy sauce to eat.
After the three of them were seated, a few side dishes were served first, followed by this crab sashimi.
Higashino Qiang is more general for wasabi, and the taste of this thing is too nasty, but if you eat raw, it is best to dip it in some, which has a sterilizing effect.
Moreover, this time it is freshly ground wasabi.
The crab meat is white with a reddish color and a hint of green, and it is served in the mouth.
The first thing that catches my head is the taste of wasabi, but then there is the sweetness of the crab meat.
These two flavors are mixed together and are addictive.
Higashino Qiang saw that Hisaki and Genos were both eating, and his faces were wrinkled, thinking that he was like this just now.
It was a lot of fun.
Next, steamed eggs with crab meat, charcoal-grilled crab legs, cheese crab burger...... Wait a minute.
It's really a lot of tricks.
Not much to say, just shake off your cheeks and start building!
Originally, eating crab was not a high-end dish, but because the price became more and more expensive, that is, it was high-end, and after such a high-end meal, many rules were born. Or it is because it is high-end and expensive, so it makes people very restrained.
But Higashino Qiang and the three of them really let go today.
Anyway, there is Kiko Higashino to pay.
It's a feast.
It wasn't until Hisaki and Genos were a little embarrassed that they relented slightly.
Higashino said bluntly, "I won't treat my own people badly." ”
As soon as these words came out, both Hisagi and Genos were very moved.
But it's really full, this meal is good, not bad.
Then, it's chat time.
"Teacher, this victory is definitely well deserved. "Hisagi speaks very measuredly, and will never reveal information about Ghost Go-sensei, but he can still explain things clearly.
Genos also understood when he heard it, "Master is a great master!"
Higashino Qiang said with a smile: "I came out to celebrate this time, on the one hand, I want to treat the two of you, and on the other hand, I want to know the current situation in the publishing house." ”
This was clear, and Hiagi had a smile on his face when he heard it.
"I wanted to tell the teacher about it, it's really interesting, teacher, you don't know, the situation in the publishing house...... Haha......"
Hisaki laughed as he spoke, laughed and said.
It turns out that this is the case.,Literature and Art Spring and Autumn Publishing House.,Didn't you put some pressure on Teacher Ghost Wu before.,Even Hisaki was dismissed.,Finally, after some means.,Hisaki was reinstated.,Teacher Onigo is all right.。
The root of this matter still lies in the traditional attitude of those bigwigs in the literary world, especially coupled with the anger that editor-in-chief Tanaka still accumulates.
Teacher Ghost Go's debut time is too short, and this year's performance is too dazzling, naturally, it has been looked at differently by the bigwigs.
Although the counterattack was successful before, the bigwigs criticized two sentences from time to time.
The new editor-in-chief, Sano, is not in a stable position, and his power is not obvious, so he has to see the needles and take advantage of opportunism.
But this time, because of Mr. Onigo's operation, the "Dragon Sakura" draft is linked to magazines and comics, which is simply ......
Slap in the face!
The monthly and weekly magazines of "Literary Spring and Autumn" have both experienced high circulation in recent years.
The most powerful thing is the feedback from readers, and it's very, very clear, because of "Dragon Sakura", and it's naturally because of Mr. Ghostgo.
To say that in the past, these bigwigs in the literary world criticized the Literary and Art Spring and Autumn Publishing House, and at the same time criticized the ghosts, and the most common sentence was: Without the ghosts, wouldn't this magazine still be able to do it?
In the current situation, the circulation has risen sharply, the feedback is massive, and there are also big sales in the past.
The gangsters are speechless.
Sano's attitude as editor-in-chief has become more and more obvious, and naturally, even with Jiumu, he is constantly giving a good look.
Hiagi is becoming more and more popular in the publishing house, and it's all thanks to Mr. Kigo.
Naturally, I was very happy.
Hiagi said this at this time, which was quite picturesque, especially the expression description of some big guys.
Ishihara's old thief is quite embarrassed, especially recently that he has come to the judging stage of the Akutagawa Award and the Naoki Award, and he still has to come to the publishing house.
Looking at the circulation and sales, his face is getting stinky day by day.
Speaking of these, the repertoire eyebrows fluttered.
Higashino Qiang and Genos laughed, this meal was not only a good meal, but also a good mood.
Of course, Higashino Qiang also understands that there is no hundred days of redness, and he, a ghost teacher, will not continue like this forever.
But for now, it's over.
In this way, Mr. Ghosto's status in the literary world seems to have inexplicably improved a lot.
As for Akutagawa and Naoki, I'm afraid there is not much chance for the time being, but Higashino doesn't care either.
Next, that's what Higashino said.
"Hisagi, I'm afraid I won't have any new works in the coming year. ”
"Well, that's no problem, you can create whenever you want. ”
"Isn't that guy Sanno going to rush the draft?"
"Teacher, his current situation can only follow the side of the tailwind, and I have already understood this. ”
"Good, you're doing a good job. ”
Hisagi was very happy to receive the compliment, but one thing immediately came to mind.
"Teacher, I promised that beautiful girl before, to add a new character, isn't it a little difficult?"
"Dragon Sakura" is definitely a hot topic now, and Hisaki is naturally very concerned, in his mind, Mr. Kigo agreed to Haruka Ayase to add a role, which seems to be really not easy.
According to the original plan, "Dragon Sakura" will be serialized for more than three years, and now it has been more than two years, and the plot is already in the stage of full development, and it is not good to suddenly add a character.
Genos smiled and said, "I believe in Master." ”
Yes, in the eyes of Genos, Master Onigo is omnipotent in literature.
Higashino Qiang had to smile and shake his head, and then took out a document bag from his bag.
Actually, since Hiagi had been staring at this bag before, he knew that there would definitely be a new serialization of Mr. Onigo, or something else to look forward to.
Sure enough, the latest plot of "Dragon Sakura", but...
There are no related characters of Haruka Ayase.
What's going on?
Hisagi immediately noticed that there were other manuscripts in this bag.
"This ......" opened it, and Hiagi instantly understood, "So that's the case, is it only added in the play?"
Higashino nodded, smiled and ate another crab leg.
That's right, Higashino Qiang's plan is like this, just to add Haruka Ayase's related characters to the TV series, and he is not allowed to make any major changes.
This trick, Genos watched from the side, and inexplicably thought of the movie "Secret".
"Master, Saigao!"
I couldn't help but praise it.
There is no way, in the movie "Secret", there is also a plot other than that, and this plot still plays a great role in suppressing "Imitation Criminal".
Is Higashino Qiang now doing the same trick?
Actually, it's not the same, and he also has a lot of ideas about "Dragon Sakura".
"Hisagi, according to the plan, it should start filming in the spring and summer of next year, and this period of time is the preparation period. But because of that, I don't really have much time personally, and you have to keep an eye on it for me. The general principle is very simple, that is, try to build a luxury lineup, try to be as attentive as possible, you can understand what I said. ”
After hearing this, Hiagi nodded, "Please rest assured, teacher, I understand completely." ”
At this time, the editor already has a score in his heart.
Thinking about the current lineup of this "Dragon Sakura", just for college students, handsome men and beauties in Yishui.
Yajima is Tomohisa Yamashita, Junpei is Kazuya Ninomiya, and on the women's side, Mizuno is Masami Nagasawa, Kazaka is Yui Aragaki, and as for Maki Kobayashi for Erika Toda, Haruka Ayase is a mysterious character, and ...... Wait a minute, there's a little note in this manuscript.
The teacher hopes to find a female high school student named Yu Aoi to play tricks.,This,No matter what.,The teacher's requirements must be met.。
Even, Hiagi thought about it.
"It's better to find a few beautiful girls who are very popular, but they haven't been selected, run a trick, and make their debut as actors, and it is estimated that the other party's office will also be very happy. ”
Don't say it, this Hisaki is quite reliable.
Higashino Qiang nodded, and also said, "I won't necessarily keep an eye on that crew, Genos can help." ”
Hisagi also understood the meaning of these words, "Please rest assured, it is still easy to arrange some work." ”
"Mr. Hisagi, I'll definitely do my best!" said Genos.
This is the plan that Higashino Qiang and Genos had thought of before, wanting to observe that Aoi Yu.
Hiagi also thought that it wasn't just these young handsome guys and beauties, it was originally decided that lawyer Kenji Sakuragi should find Abe Kuan, and Mr. Oga...
"I think that Kimura Kano is a good fit, I don't know if she's interested. ”
"Hello!
Higashino Qiang knew that it would be too difficult to invite Nanako Matsushima at this time, and when he set up the manga before, it was just a joke.
But Kimura Kano is not bad, she also has a nickname, the island country Yu Feihong.
In this way, after the arrangement is completed, the drama "Dragon Sakura" already has enough momentum for the drama.
Today's meal is a crab feast, and it is also a feast of thanksgiving.
However, Higashino is very clear in his heart.
One of my most important tasks next year is to revise and prepare for the entrance examination to the University of Tokyo!
SP: The second one is sent, this ...... What kind of women's clothing, I don't understand the black car at all, cough cough...... Don't worry, you must be 10,000 words today, ask for subscriptions, ask for recommendations, ask for monthly passes, thank you very much!
