Chapter 287: Beginning of Serialization (2/5)
"Editor-in-chief, I don't think there is any need to worry about this book "White Night Walking". Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info" Sayuri spoke again.
"Why?" said the editor-in-chief strangely, "although this novel is very good, if it is written by a Chinese author, it is very easy to cause a backlash from the public when Master Dongja and Chinese writers challenge." The most important thing is that this work is recommended for the Yokono Masashi Award, for example, we have to find out!"
"Yes, that's true. But there are a few more points to note. First of all, Chinese writers are also worried about being rejected for serialization. So, there is a good chance that "Teenagers & Books" magazine is their choice. ”
Sayuri went on to explain, "Also, Matsumoto-kun is right that 'White Night Walking' can be classified as a social novel. You must know that Chinese writers, or authors from other countries, cannot write such works. ”
"Yes," said the young man who had just been made Matsumoto-kun by Sayuri, "this must have been written by our native islander, and I think that he should be over thirty years old with this kind of pen power, and only if he has experienced that period, or knows that period very well, can he write such a work." ”
"Exactly. ”
"The editor-in-chief is overthinking. ”
"This must be the pen power of the author of the island country!"
"I think this Aoi sensei is definitely the trumpet opened by Master Yuji Kurano!"
"I don't know if it's Master Yuji Kurano, but it definitely won't be something that an island author can write about. ”
"That's right!" the editor-in-chief breathed a sigh of relief. He hadn't expected that.
"So, let's start serializing tomorrow!"
……
In the morning, Green was having breakfast in the hotel.
That's right, it was he who was sent on a business trip to the island nation. Because of the entire company, he is the only one who can understand the Chinese language of the island.
A few days ago, Green had asked a friend to help with the submission, and he received a reply yesterday.
He still believes that the boss's work can be serialized, but he doesn't understand why he wants to use this work to participate in the Yokono Masashi Award.
But he was on a business trip this time, and Zhang Can told him to study the market of the island country carefully.
"The detective novel industry here is so good, walking on the street everywhere is holding novels. Green muttered quietly, saying that he didn't know anything about the detective fiction business of the island nation, so he just came on a business trip with a novel, could this really work?
The more Green felt that Zhang Can's decision was a bit hasty. Sounds very good, if it can be done, his popularity will definitely grow by leaps and bounds, but his boss writes romance and online articles, this is a layman, how to compete with local novelists!
Is this really possible? Green has not been idle these days, and he has read all the hottest detective novels in his island country in recent years. Some of this has elements of horror and suspense, but it's not good in the middle of the night. When reporting the results to the boss. The boss like a beautiful man, what kind of theme, type, painting style, and core content are all about the same, no problem.
Big brother, where do you see it's okay!
Green walked out of the hotel, stopping along the way. He planned to go around first, and then go back to the hot springs, which had a mixed bath not far from the inn. This was introduced by the friend who helped sign up.
A few teenagers dressed as students were walking past Green. The school uniforms of the island country have obvious characteristics, the extremely short skirt, as you walk, always looks like a jumping youth. From time to time, it attracted the attention of others, but it was not the skirt that attracted Green, but what they said.
?“ Hey, have you watched this episode of "The Detective Hall"?"
?“ I read this issue of "Detective Hall" early in the morning. ”
?“ I just finished reading it, and I can't guess the plot of "Dark Alley". ”
"I've only watched half of it, but the latest serialized "White Night Walking" is very good!"
"Yes, yes, listen to the old man, it was like this before. ”
"Why do you all like detective novels? It's a lot of brains, I like blood!"
"No, "White Night Walking" is very good, and I'm looking forward to the next one!"
"It's very beautiful, but I can't understand it!"
The group of students passed by Green.
Green couldn't come back to his senses for a long time, and what they were discussing just now was, white night walking?
He is still fluent in island Chinese, but he also has bad ears
Isn't this name a novel written by the boss Zhang Can?
Maybe it's just a coincidence. Green wandered down the street and turned into a large bookstore.
This kind of bookstore can be found everywhere in the island country, and the scale of the detective novel industry here is not comparable to other countries, whether it is a bookstore, a small stall, or even many cities, there are all kinds of detective magazines sold in full or serialized.
It deserves to be called the first country of detective novels.
Entered the bookstore. Green saw the classification of detective novels at a glance.
It was easy to walk past and find the magazine of the Detective Hall.
This magazine is very thick, and it can be seen that there must be a lot of serials in it.
Open the first page, it is the white night walk.
This......
Even if Green has no experience, he knows that being able to put it on the first page must be very important!
What's more, judging by his previous investigation. The novel that "White Night Walking" replaces is not on the first page at all. Therefore, "Detective Hall" also specially adjusted the layout for the novel White Night Walk.
This is no longer an importance, it is a very important importance!
"Here!"
"This is it!"
"Is this what Seto-san is talking about?"
"Yes, the latest issue of Detective Hall!"
At this time, a few girls dressed as students next to them ran over and picked up a few copies of "Detective Hall".
"This is it. ”
"That's right!" a girl turned the first page, pointed to the title, and whispered, "びゃくやこう"
A few students picked up their books and went to pay the bills.
Green was still stunned in the distance, this time, it was not that he was not fluent in Chinese and misheard. He still remembers that before going out, Zhang Can said, "びゃくやこう...... It can also be called, white night walking. ”
??“ Sir, if you don't read it, can you give me this magazine?" a man said with a "Hay" and a bow to Green.
"Huh?" Green came back to his senses and turned his head to look, only to see that the "Detective Hall" on the shelf was empty. Green laughed, handed the magazine in his hand to the man, and said in island Chinese, "Here you go." ”
It seems, boss, really succeeded.
