The novel editorial department of Chiyo Shoten Co., Ltd

It's hard to believe that this is the industry leader for brick-and-mortar book publishers in District 11, with dozens of editors busy with their own work, some contacting authors by phone, others reviewing manuscripts in person, and the atmosphere is so loud that if there is a physical voice, the public office would be crowded. Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info but the serious faces of the staff do not give people a sense of clutter, and if you listen carefully to what is being said, you will be amazed that it is really a professional-level company, and every editor is faithfully fulfilling his responsibilities in the noisy vegetable market.

Suddenly, there was a commotion, and the editor-in-chief of the novel's editorial department, Gokuni Akiyama, hurriedly came to the public office, and before he finished his breath, he asked one of the staff members who was using a computer, "Shiho, has the video recording of the interview with the superintendent Kamiya been completed?" If you don't do a good job, put down other work first, this interview record is the first priority, and the headquarters has already called to urge. ”

The staff who used the computer was helpless for a while, and turned back to their computer screen and pouted: "It has been roughly edited and is being reviewed." It's true, suddenly I gave such a heavy task, and I didn't get paid for working overtime overnight. ”

The editor-in-chief, Gojing Akiyama, went over to check the computer, patted the staff member's head with the file and said solemnly: "Don't complain, everyone's situation is the same, please go for a drink after work, and this time the work will be done for me." Send the edited interview video to my computer and I'll review it. ”

"Yes~Yes~ I know, Editor-in-Chief Akiyama." The staff shook their heads with a smile and said, Akiyama Gojing is the editor-in-chief of their novel department, he treats his subordinates very well, and he is one of the most praised young editors in the novel industry, as the editor-in-chief, they have no complaints about this matter, and it is not convenient for them to complain.

Gokiyo Akiyama returns to his office and uses his computer to receive a video recording of the "fate/zero" interview transmitted by the staff. This time, Chiyo Shoten and [Yuanzhikong] animation production company produced an interview video, in order to promote Yuu Kamiya's new novel, Chiyo Shoten interviewed Yuu Kamiya, and [Yuanzhikong] animation production company produced a novel promotional PV, and after editing together, it was the official promotional video of Chiyo Bookstore.

As the editor-in-chief of the novel department, Gojing Akiyama knows the importance that the headquarters attaches to this promotion, and he knows the name of Yu Kamiya, the animation director of the hottest original animation "Madoka Magica" is also the president of the animation production company [Yuannoku], which means that this animation supervisor owns all the copyrights and revenues related to "Madoka Magica", and such a character has the meaning of in-depth cooperation even if the novel written is meaningless.

In fact, Akiyama Gojing has also read the "fate/zero" gave novel "Knight Dusk" released by Yu Kamiya because of his work requirements, and he was a little surprised that such a long length is just a biography of a formal novel, and I heard that six Gaiden character novels will be released one after another in the future. He was a little weird at first, and the people who did animation actually came to write novels? What is the difference between this and a pianist playing a trumpet, it's just nonsense.

But the first impression of the novel material "Knight Dusk" sent over after him was that the writing was concise and sharp, particularly sharp in portraying the characters of the novel, and the description of the big scenes was shocking and forbearant enough, the structure of the whole novel was rigorous, and the plot progression was incredibly attractive. In addition, compared with the general light novel "Knight Dusk", it has an unsurpassed advantage, and dozens of exquisite illustrations drawn by Yu Kamiya himself include all the characters who appear in the entire novel.

Such treatment is impossible for even the top domestic light novelists in District 11 to have, and "Knight Twilight" deserves to be a "big production" in light novels.

"Knight's Twilight" surprised Akiyama Gojo, the plot of the novel is the legendary life of King Arthur, the most famous king in English history, combined with legendary elements, and King Arthur is set as a serious girl. Quite a bold conception, the plot of the novel is perfectly self-consistent, telling a poignant kingdom story through the vision of the protagonist King Arthur, and Akiyama Gojing can see the "shortcomings" of this story - the story is too worrying and leaves the reader with regrets, and the popular point is that the plot does not give the reader a satisfactory feeling.

Whether it's TV, fiction, or animation, a tragic or comedic ending may result in different emotional reactions from viewers, but there is usually a common sense of fulfillment: "This story is over, this is the end of the story." Of course, some creators will deliberately change the ending to an uncertain factor in order to achieve artistic results, commonly known as an open-ended ending.

This technique requires a lot of experience, and using an open-ended ending for an artistic effect is like hanging the whole work over a tightrope, after all, most viewers want a happy ending to the story, not an open-ended ending that makes the audience look at it and can't get enough of it. Another use of this approach is to pre-order follow-up works, using the open-ended ending as a motivation to attract the audience to the next one.

"Knight's Twilight" falls into the latter category, and it seems that Yu Akiyama Gojo is still a fairly successful example of a novel. Knight Evening is worth watching, both in a practical sense and in an entertaining sense. Want to see a great story? "Knight's Twilight" can be satisfied, want to learn about the life and legend of King Arthur, the famous king of England? "Knight Twilight" is still the first choice.

There are many stories written by studying the actual history, and the most popular one for Akiyama Gosei's is "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms", one of the four great Chinese masterpieces, which is also based on history and combined with rural legends for artistic decoration, "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms" has been a masterpiece that is famous throughout Asia and even the world.

"Romance of the Three Kingdoms" perfectly controls the difficulties in adapting the novel, finding a balance between the actual history and the meaning you want to express, and then adding dramatic elements, which is enough to be called a masterpiece. The same is true of "Knight's Twilight", which, if you leave aside the flirtatious premise that King Arthur is a woman, then this story is one of the best novels about Arthurian legend he has ever read.

"It's a waste, if this Kamiya supervisor can make his debut in the novel... ~ No, it seems that he has already achieved great things in animation, which is really surprising." Akiyama Gojing just wanted to sigh in his heart and laughed dumbly, and now Yu Kamiya is already one of the most famous animation directors in the RB animation industry, and his achievements are not much lower than that of well-known writers.

Gojing Akiyama clicked on the video transmitted by the staff just now and reviewed the video of this interview. (To be continued.) )
