Chapter 132: From Manga to Novel!
Editorial Department of "Youth Run". Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
The editor returned to his desk and looked at the business card he was holding.
What kind of institution is this "scientific search laboratory"?
Forget it, leave him alone!
"Miura, come with me to the conference room!" he began to talk to Miura individually, as he usually did on weekdays.
Everyone stared intently at their computer screens, but everyone pricked up their ears to receive the latest news from the Metropolitan Police Department after the Torishima editors met with the Metropolitan Police Department.
In the small conference room of the editorial office.
Torishima looked at Miura, who was a little weak-hearted, and asked slowly, "On April 15th, you took the sketch of "Detective Kenan" to the printing house, did something happen on the way?"
Miura's face turned red, he lowered his head, and replied to his boss in a low voice: "That, I'm sorry, I hid this matter." I violated the rules of the editorial office by putting on gloves in a taxi and taking out the sketch to take a closer look, only to be involved in a traffic accident. ”
"What?!" Torishima was a little surprised, and then a gloomy color appeared on his face, "And then?"
"The drawings floated out of the car window, but you may not believe it, but when I got out of the car to look for the drawings, the drawings suddenly returned to my hands on their own, not a single trace of dust was stained, and it can be said that they were intact and unscathed!" Miura was a little emotional, "I can vouch for this with my personality!"
Torishima believed that the daredevil's editor was telling the truth, because after the sample of that issue was printed, Torishima himself had checked every detail on every page and found no stains or missing items.
"I'll settle accounts with you later!, then, your own physical safety is fine, right?" Torishima still looked serious.
"Thank you for your concern! I don't have anything to do!" replied Miura, puffing up.
"Remember that no matter what happens at work in the future, you must report it to me as soon as possible! Torishima branched out of Miura, and he fell into deep thought.
Scientific Search Laboratory.
Automatically return to the scattered sketch in hand.
Drawings in perfect condition.
Mystery comics.
Metropolitan Police Department Criminal Police.
What's the connection? It's nerve-wracking!
"Editor Torishima, are you here?
"Okay, I'll go!"
I'm going to have a busy day!
"Hey, I'm Bird Island! Oh, you're the editorial board of a literary journal. What? Lin Daya from 'AKBS Project'? That's the manga writer under my command. What's wrong with him?"
"What? Did he participate in the prize-winning essay contest of the weekly magazine "Literature and Art Spring and Summer"?"
"What about him and his studio? We just recently started working together, and he and another manga artist, Aoyama, started a new comic series on our Shonen Run, called Detective Kenan......"
“…… Ah, it's not literary and artistic, it's a comic with a reasoning criminal investigation theme. I don't know anything about the literature in their studio......"
"Ah, that, what's the name of the novel he submitted this time?"
“…… What forest? The Forests of Oslo?...... Isn't that a song of the same name from 'The Beetles'?"
"Okay, please send me a copy of his submission later. …… Okay!"
"Smack!" Torishima hung up.
What's going on today? Why are there so many calls and things?
Torishima sat in his swivel chair, with a lot of work at hand, but he couldn't find an entry point for work.
Because his mind was full of today's inexplicable visit by the Metropolitan Police Department's criminal police and the "double opening" of the "AKBS Project" studio's comic and literary publications, and by the way, he was also haunted by the "lost manuscript" incident that Miura, a daredevil, concealed and reported.
Having said that, this "AKBS Project" studio is really talented.
It's almost a fait accompli that the first issue of Detective Conan was a hit, and the last time the first edition was in short supply was five years ago.
Judging from the current boom in sales, it is only a matter of time before this comic becomes a "boutique"!
And it is estimated that there will not be many issues of serialization, and then I will be in full swing to prepare for the printing of a single book!
In such a good situation, the original author of the comic book still has time to write literary works, and he is really energetic.
On the one hand, there is the plot script of the comics, and on the other hand, there is the literary grand prix where the national elite gathers, which side does not have to spend a lot of brains?
Well, let's take a look at his literature first!
It stands to reason that as long as it doesn't affect the progress of the publication of this comic, what does he like to do at the rest of the time, and what does it matter to my Bird Island?
However, if they dare to be late for the delivery time of the comics, hum, if you don't blow up their phone, I won't be the famous "evil ghost" Bird Island!
……
……
It's past lunchtime, and even some of the editors and editorial staff who ate late have returned to the office to continue their work, but the Torishima editor is still sitting at his desk, and he always maintains a posture.
The people next to him began to talk again:
Well, Torishima editor is alright? He's been a little bit wrong since the morning!
Yes, I was interviewed by the criminal police of the Metropolitan Police Department, talked to Miura alone, and received a call from the literary editorial department of our publishing house, I guess I was stimulated by something, right?
Although the editor of Torishima is a well-known workaholic, it doesn't seem to be common for him to forget to sleep and eat for the sake of review.
Yes, this issue of the weekly has just been released, and the results are very good, and he is still working so hard, which is really admirable.
Okay, let's keep up with the big editor Torishima, and let's hurry up and do what we do.
Just when the surrounding discussion gradually subsided and everyone began to devote themselves to the afternoon work, Torishima Shuhiko stood up from his seat with a "smack"! The range of movement was so large that the swivel chair behind him was touched and spun at high speed, and it slowly stopped when it hit a cabinet behind him with a "bang".
"It's amazing! it's amazing!" said Shuhiko Torishima.
"This Lin Daya is simply a rare talent! No, he is a genius! An unborn genius! Great, wonderful, magnificent!" Torishima turned around at his desk several times with his head in his hands!
The surrounding editorial colleagues looked at the shonen manga editor in front of him like aliens, and his every move became the focus of the entire editorial office!
The hearts of the editors of Bird Island are surging and surging at this moment!
Although he hadn't read pure literature or popular literature for two or three years, The Woods of Oslo was definitely the best piece of literature he had read in recent years - not one of them!
Such a novel story can even be directly taken and turned into an outline script for adapting comics or film and television works without too many modifications!
Lin Daya, I must leave you in the "Juxian Society"!
Unsurprisingly, you will become a generation of writers in the neon literary world!
