In the evening, Sakai Chie, who seemed to have been calculated, once again appeared at Kitagawa's house with a meal. Not only did she bring a formal authorization contract that needed to be signed by Takeshita Kusaka himself, but she also brought a gossip weekly that Kitagawa had shown him in the morning. Sakai Chie, who was still sitting in her original position, crossed her hands on her chest, staring at Takeshita Kusaoji without saying a word, with the intention of asking him to give himself an explanation and explanation.

"You're just in time, tell me about him! Anyway, I'm just talking about him. In the morning, I had a long talk with him about temporarily moving out of my place. As a result, I didn't move him, but he persuaded me. "Kako Kitagawa, who knows that his achievements today are not easy to come by, can't let his career be damaged in the slightest because of himself. He glanced at the gossip weekly that Sakai Chie threw on the dinner table, and became more and more aware of the seriousness of this problem and said, "Chie, we are good friends. You just tell me plainly and directly, isn't it particularly serious? ”

Sakai Chie, who was silent for a long time before she was finally able to speak, did not answer her question directly, but only asked her calmly, "What do you think?" The circles under her eyes began to redden, and Chie Sakai, who was so anxious that she was about to cry, really didn't expect that she would be involved in Takeshita Kusaokei. She didn't know what to do at all, and she didn't know how to solve it.

"Isn't it just a gossip weekly! It makes you all look like you're facing a great enemy. As for it? Takeshita Mustard, who picked up the gossip weekly from the dinner table, got up slightly, and casually put it under his ass and sat down.

"Qianhui, you should quickly think of a good way for him to come out! What do you need me to do with you, just ask. ** Kitagawa Kako, who was choked, turned sideways to face the other party, and was so anxious that she stretched out her hands and grabbed one of Sakai's arms.

Sakai Chie, who shook her head, then sighed and said slowly: "It's too bad for this gossip weekly to appear to report on your affairs. If it could be released after Takeshita's first book was released, it would have helped us to further promote it, which would have helped to increase sales. Even those who don't like pure literary novels say that they don't necessarily buy a copy and go home. It's a pity that the timing is not right, and it can only be regarded as a warm-up for the new book market in advance. ”

Kako Kitagawa, whose tears had already begun to roll in her eyes, never expected her to say this. I thought it was a bad thing, but it turned out to be a good thing for her. She looked puzzled, wiped the tears that fell from her eyes with her left hand, and said in disbelief: "Qianhui, is what you said true, or is it reassuring my heart?" ”

"What am I lying to you for? Of course it's true. Don't think that the pure literary market is as white as a blank sheet of paper. In fact, book publishers and distributors are not charities, and they don't just make money at a loss without thinking about making a profit. The current Takeshita-kun is just a rookie writer who has risen strongly in the Japanese literary scene. Even if there are a certain number of fans and followers, there will not be many, and their loyalty is also not high. This is completely incomparable to the senior first-line writers in China. No matter how they write, the initial print run is 200,000 copies, and they can sell 300,000 or 500,000 copies casually, and it is not very difficult to break the sales of 1 million copies. Even if Takeshita-kun wins this year's Akutagawa Prize, when his first book is published, it is inevitable that we will create some more or less attractive topics and gimmicks for him. "More or less, there is still a certain amount of work experience in Sakai Chie, who knows everything and says everything.

Listening to her words, Kako Kitagawa, who has read books for ten years, really felt that she was a false alarm and said: "In this way, aren't the writers in the literary world the same as those actors in the entertainment industry?" ”

"The reason why it is called the entertainment industry can also be regarded as the literary world, not culture, after all, because the two have a place to figure out. If a writer's novel is well written, it can be transformed into a film and television drama. There are not a few writers who can serve as editors themselves. Whether it's a movie or a TV series, whether it's good or not, whether it's interesting or not, not all lies in the script. If you look at other people's Hollywood, why they make such wonderful and story-telling works, it is nothing more than that they have put a lot of effort into choosing and checking the script. In their view, if there is no good script, there is no source. And if the director is so good that if he doesn't have a good book in hand, he would rather choose not to shoot. Chie Sakai, who said something she had realized, smiled faintly.

Kitagawa Kako, whose left hand is a palm and her right hand is a fist, slapped her hand and said with a smile: "I can't imagine that the literary world is like a fellow actor, not afraid of bad news, but afraid of no news." ”

That's pretty much what it means. Otherwise, in the vast sea of books, how do you know that such a book exists? Sakai Chie, who did not change her smile, shrugged her shoulders and said: "Of course, for the great writers and best-selling authors, they can't concoct lace news and scandals like this, after all, their reputation is more important, and that is the best guarantee of sales." ”

is not just concerned about eating, quietly being a foodie, but showing a state of mind when the sky falls down as a quilt cover. He put the chopsticks on his right hand on the rice bowl temporarily, and said slowly: "Now, you don't have to force me to move away!" ”

"That's hard to say." Kako Kitagawa, who raised her head at a slight angle of forty-five degrees, also looked at the old ceiling with her eyes. She knows in her heart, although she is relieved that it will not affect Takeshita Kusao's writing career, but she is still criticized by the people around her. It's not good for me to complain in front of Sakai Chie, and it's even harder to say something in front of him. She showed a strong side of her heart, silently enjoying the good that God brought to her, but also endured the bad way of the other side.

"I didn't expect you to be so pitiful. Takeshita-kun, how about you come to live with my parents? You just have to come, and I can assure you that I will never drive you away. Half-joking and half-serious, Sakai Chie admired his good attitude of not being shocked.

looked at Little Lori's Takeshita Grass Mustard, and didn't take her invitation seriously: "Thank you." In my opinion, it is still the best place to live with my daughter. ”
