In fact, the Akutagawa Prize was established in 1935 by Kikuchi Kan to commemorate the literary hero of Japan's Taisho period, Ryunosuke Akutagawa, and was awarded by the organizer Bungei Chunqiu to new writers of pure literature.

Since then, the selection event has been held twice a year. In the first half of the year, the selection was held in mid-July, and the awards were presented in mid-August, which was published in the September issue of "Literature and Art Spring and Autumn". In the second half of the year, the selection was held in mid-January of the following year, and the awards were presented in mid-February of the same year, which was published in the March issue of "Literature and Art Spring and Autumn".

The Akutagawa Prize has changed from a so-called "newcomer to the dragon gate" to an award that has established one's own status in the literary world for a new writer. It is undoubtedly the highest pure literary award in Japan, and it is equivalent to the status and specifications of the Lu Xun Literary Award in China.

The winner will receive a prize of 1,000,000 yen and a pocket watch. Although the actual material reward is not high, the gold content of the award is 100% pure gold, which can basically ensure the best-selling or long-term sales of the writer's works in the future. Not only that, but the manuscript fee of the award-winning writer, the interview fee, the thank you gift for the tea party, and the thank you gift for the speech...... It will also rise sharply.

In this parallel world, there are some differences. Although it is also called the Akutagawa Prize, there is still no change in status and specifications, but the commemoration is not Akutagawa Ryunosuke, one of the three great writers of modern times who has disappeared and never existed, but a ghost named Akutagawa Saburo.

The neatly dressed Takeshita Grass Mustard thought that if he really committed something, he would be able to hide from the first year of junior high school, but not from the fifteenth. The attitude of life is to face this emergency calmly. So, he walked out of his room, went down from the second floor to the first floor, and when he came to the main entrance, he didn't hesitate too much and opened it directly.

Reporters from news media outlets large and small who had been waiting at the gate for a long time saw the door open and rushed straight to the front in waves after waves. One by one, the reporters were scrambling, gossiping, and their voices were rising and falling, and they were raising all kinds of questions towards Takeshita and the grass mustard.

Almost covered the grass mustard under Takeshita, and before he could react, he was forced by them to retreat into the house again and again. It's the first time in his life that he has seen this kind of formation, although he has a feeling of being a big star, but this feeling of facing cameras and video cameras is really not very good.

"Everyone, let me go, I'm the editor in charge of Takeshita Kusaokei. He published a series of good works such as "Rashomon", "In the Bamboo Forest", "Childhood Sweethearts", and "Dancing Queen" in the journal of "Literature and Art Spring and Autumn". If you have any questions, you can still ask me. Sakai Chie agreed with Kitagawa Kako's offer to take her daughter to a convenience store to buy things to avoid the news media people gathered in her house, and then she came forward to do a certain relief for Takeshita Kusaoke.

As soon as these words came out, some of the cameras and video cameras were transferred from the gathering place of Takeshita Kusaokei to Chie Sakai, who had taken a lot of effort to squeeze in. Seeing that Takeshita was silent, some anxious reporters who did not answer questions once again asked her one question after another.

"Dear journalists, don't be in a hurry. We go into the living room first, and then you ask questions one by one, and we answer them one by one. "Knowing that she couldn't offend them, Chie Sakai stood on the side of Takeshita Kusa for the first time. On the one hand, he wants to maintain his good image and impression among readers, and on the other hand, he shows his mature experience in facing the public media.

His eyes and hand movements signaled that Takeshita Kusashi was going to the living room first, and stopped the reporters slightly, and then led them to the living room. He sat on the couch first, his heart was beating faster, and he was inevitably nervous, after all, it was the first time he had been noticed by so many people. Although I didn't say anything, I started to sweat in my palms and vest.

Chie Sakai, who personally arranged for the reporters to stand separately at random, was born in a family with old money, and has been trained in how to deal with the public since she was a child. has long been commonplace, and now she has been trained to be calm and calm, and she completely knows how to perform what type of person she sees.

Facing everyone, Sakai Chie, who was standing on the right side of Takeshita Kusaokei, gently put her hands in front of her lower abdomen, and said with a smile on her face: "If you don't have an opinion, we'll come one by one from left to right." To ensure that you don't waste your precious time and that you are fair, each person can ask three questions at once. If there are other questions, then after a lap of reincarnation, go back to the starting point and continue. ”

For this reason, the reporters who did not raise any objections either nodded at each other or blurted out the word "good". Chie Sakai, who didn't choose to stand all the time, sat on the couch. The distance between himself and Takeshita Kusa is only a short distance of a fist.

"My question is, does Your Excellency Takeshita have any special feelings about winning the Akutagawa Prize this time? Also, did you think that you would lose the award before you won the award? Do you think that the jury chose Rashomon instead of your other works as your winning work? A female reporter standing on the far left was fortunate enough to be the first to ask him questions.

Takeshita Kusaoke, who took a deep breath silently, his eyes fell in her direction, and he tried to squeeze a smile on his face and said, "Special feelings? It's just that I see you being too nervous. As soon as he said this, it immediately caused a burst of laughter from the people present. Instead of laughing, they felt that he deserved to be the winner of the Akutagawa Prize, showing both wit and humor.

After a pause, Takeshita continued to answer: "This time, I have a special feeling that I can win the Akutagawa Award, one is that I am very honored to be recognized by the members of the jury for my work; Second, there is still a little excitement, after all, there is Japan's highest literary award, which is known as the Toyo Nobel Prize in Literature; Three, so as to have the opportunity to make more people like my works. As for whether I won or lost the award, you already saw me standing in front of the window without clothes when you came, which is enough to show my normal heart. In all fairness, among my many published works, I still like Rashomon the most. ”
