Chapter 41: Age multiplied by two is sixteen

"Hey, hello, is it Mr. Scarlet Burial Flower?"

In Kyoto Film and Television City, the funeral flower who was filming a movie suddenly received a phone call. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

Although he is still only an eight-year-old child, for the convenience of work, Fuhua still bought a mobile phone for himself, but few people know the number.

"Yes, I am, who are you?"

Gesturing to Sakurada, Burikea walked to a quieter place on the side.

"I'm Tomikawa, the editor of Dengeki Bunko, Mr. Meng Huo, have you sold the copyright of the "Catalogue of Forbidden Books of Magic" you submitted? Our publisher values your novel and would like to find time to talk to you about publishing if possible! ”

"Publisher!"

Funeral flowers didn't feel surprised, after all, in the world of memory, "Catalogue of Forbidden Books of Magic" is a popular work, selling more than 10 million copies, so it is impossible not to publish it.

"I still have the copyright in my hand, and so far I haven't voted for anyone else, so I can hand it over to you for publication!"

After receiving this reply, the voice on the other side was Yixi, and then asked eagerly: "Then can you come to our publishing house tomorrow, we can have a good talk, to tell you the truth, not only me, but even our editor-in-chief is very interested in your novel!" We are very sincere! ”

Because of the excellent quality of the Catalogue of Forbidden Books of Magic, the Dengeki Bunko obviously wanted to sign the contract as soon as possible, so as not to have too many dreams at night.

However, the funeral flower looked at the scene that was being filmed, but sighed slightly.

"I'm sorry, I'm filming here in Kyoto right now, and I won't be available until at least next week."

The filming of "The Grudge" is nearing the end, but almost all of the remaining scenes have Junxiong played by Fuhua, and it is impossible to leave at this time.

"Filming?"

Buchuan, who was on the other side of the phone, was obviously stunned, and after thinking for a while, he sighed and said: "I didn't expect Mr. Fuhua to be versatile, in addition to being a writer, he is also an actor!" Well, let's do it, there's still a month left until the Dengeki Bunko Newcomer Award, so it's not too rushed, how about we see you next Monday? ”

Because it has to cooperate with the problem of publicity, whether it is the electric shock library or the funeral flower, it is best to sign the contract before the results of the rookie award appear, after all, whether the book is electric shock library or not, how much will affect the other party's investment.

After estimating the progress of the shooting, Fuhua nodded.

"No problem, I'll be over next Monday!"

"That's good!" got a positive answer, Buchuan also breathed a sigh of relief, after all, with a specific time, the possibility of the other party to change the hexagram is much smaller, and at the same time he was in a good mood, he asked casually, "I don't know which movie Mr. Fuhua is shooting, if I have the opportunity, I will definitely take my family to the scene!" ”

Fuhua smiled and said nonchalantly: "It's nothing, it's just an ordinary horror movie, and I'm just playing the role of a child in it, it doesn't matter." ”

However, there was a sudden silence on the other side, and after a while, Bucheon's voice was a little confused.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Funeral Flower, I didn't hear it clearly, you mean you play the role of a child in it, I heard it right?!"

Fuhua was stunned for a moment, and then reacted.

"You heard it right, it's a child's character."

"・・・・・・ how old are you?"

"Eight years old! After the Chinese New Year this year, I will be nine years old! ”

・・・・・・・

MediaWorks Press, Fuchuan who hung up the phone had a strange face.

The editor-in-chief, Saburo Suzuki, who was sitting on the side, was stunned when he saw this, and asked with a frown: "What, has the other party's novel been sold?" ”

Tomagawa shook his head, looking a little dazed.

"That is, the other party doesn't want to publish in our publishing house, and wants to go to Fantasia or Sneaker Library?"

Suzuki continued to ask, Fujimi Fantasia Bunko, Kadokawa Sneaker Bunko, and Dengeki Bunko are known as the three masters of light novels, and according to his estimate, if the other party wants to publish a novel, he can't let these three go.

However, Buchuan still shook his head and said in a strange tone: "No, the other party has something to do now, and plans to come and meet with us next Monday to discuss the issue of publishing!" ”

At this time, Suzuki was stunned and asked curiously, "Then why are you like this in Tomikawa, isn't everything negotiated?" Still have questions? ”

Tomikawa glanced at his editor-in-chief, stopped talking, and said under the other party's questioning: "There is nothing wrong with the novel, but the problem is the age of the other party." ”

"Age?"

Suzuki repeated in surprise, his eyebrows raised, "Is it because he is too old and the other party may die at any time?" That's a problem, but I've also read the submission of the "Catalogue of Forbidden Books of Magic", and it doesn't look like the writing was written by those old people, right? ”

Because of the rapid development of the times, the subject matter of the novel is constantly changing, and there is a clear difference between the previous novels, essays and the current light novels.

Tomikawa smiled slightly bitterly, "It's okay to say a little if it's too old, but the problem now is that the other party is too young!" ”

"Too small?" Suzuki was stunned, but he didn't pay much attention to it, after all, it is not uncommon for young geniuses to be born in this era, as long as the other party is not about to die and can complete the serial publication of the novel, then it is not a problem, "How old are you, are you sixteen?" ”

Because of the contract problem, Suzuki's first concern is whether the other party can sign the contract by himself, otherwise it will be another trouble if it involves a guardian.

Shaking his head, Tomagawa held out two fingers.

"Is it two years short?" Suzuki touched his chin, a little disappointed, but then he couldn't help but sigh: "I can write this kind of novel at the age of fourteen, and the other party is really a genius!" ”

But Tomagawa smiled bitterly, if he was fourteen years old, he wouldn't be like this.

"It's not two years old, it's twice as old! Editor-in-chief, you multiply his age by two and you'll be sixteen! ”

"Sixteen divided by two, - eight years old, he is only eight years old! Bucheon, what are you kidding! ”

Suzuki didn't react at first, but then he jumped up from his chair and stared at Bukawa with his eyes.

Fu Chuan spread his hands, but at this time he calmed down, "If the other party is not joking with me, it is true, the author of the "Catalogue of Forbidden Books of Magic" is eight years old this year! ”

Suzuki carefully observed Tomikawa, and after making sure that this old subordinate was really not joking, he immediately sat down in his chair and muttered, "Eight-year-old author, this is really a problem!" ”

The publication of novels is naturally inseparable from publicity, but an eight-year-old author, does anyone believe this?

I've used the name of a juvenile writer as a gimmick before, but at this time, such a genius really came, and Suzuki felt a little headache, and kept rubbing his hands at the center of his eyebrows.

"Eight years old, he's only eight years old! What did the little guy eat to grow up on? ”

Buchuan also has a relative, "Yes, and the other party is still making movies, and the current children are really amazing!" ”

Suzuki "・・・・・・"
