Chapter 135: Q&A
"Speaking of which, Mr. Koyanagi, not only as a novelist, but also as a manga artist!" The big man said suddenly, changing the subject.
The little man said: "I've heard that it's a new serialization published in the weekly Shonen JUMP in collaboration with an original art.,The story has a strong Koyanagi-sensei style.,It's very interesting.,It's currently liked and paid attention to by a lot of people.。 ”
The big man said: "It's not just this comic, the webtoon of Mr. Koyanagi's "One Hit Man", a few days ago, it also broke through 7 million hits, and tens of thousands of people visit this webtoon every day, and I've also seen this webtoon, although it's a draft comic, but once you get used to this style of painting, it feels inexplicably touching. ”
Koyanagi said: "You know really carefully, these are indeed the ones I created. ”
The big man said: "Not only has the identity of the author, but also the identity of the cartoonist, Mr. Koyanagi is really hard, and there is a need to persist in his studies, I really don't know, Mr. Koyanagi persevered." ”
Koyanagi said undeniably: "Although it's very hard, it's okay overall, it's not very busy, compared to my previous job, it can be said that it's pediatrics, so I can easily persevere." ”
"Huh?" The little man Shinben made an unexpected voice and asked a little strangely, "What did Mr. Koyanagi do before?" It's so hard, isn't it, isn't it okay, isn't Mr. Koyanagi a high school student? Is there any hard work part-time? ”
Koyanagi smiled and said, "I work part-time. Make a girl. ”
"Huh? Alas?!!! The big man and the little man were almost scared to death with wide eyes.
"Just kidding."
“…… So, what the hell does that do? ”
"That's the secret." Koyanagi said with an undeniable smile. He didn't want to completely expose some things in the past.
The big man and the little man didn't know what to say for a while. And where did the previous slot of the girl spit out...... It's tough, it's hard.
Soon this round of interviews ended, and the small man and the big man finally breathed a sigh of relief. At this time, it came to the last link of the column.
The big man Shinmoto said: "I'm really reluctant to be separated from Mr. Koyanagi, but I'm really satisfied to see Mr. Koyanagi this time." ”
The little man said, "Hey, hey! And the final round of the show! This is the most important question from the audience, which is a question from the audience that is randomly selected and wants to ask Mr. Koyanagi. It's very important, you idiot won't forget it, right? ”
"I'm not stupid, if I forgot. It's stupid, then everyone in the world is stupid. The big man said.
"Since you forgot, don't be so arrogant!" The little man Xinben couldn't help but complain: "Okay, then let's move on to the next link, and start asking some questions from the audience." ”
Little Man Xinben: "Okay, first audience, the question I want to ask is, two teachers, you are in the process of creating. Does it feel like there's a bottleneck? If so, what can be done to get through it? ”
August Nagato: "There will be times when I find it extremely difficult to write a novel, as if I don't know the words anymore. Maybe that's the bottleneck. Every time I feel this way, I put down my pen and start reading novels by some famous authors. to ease my emotions and then move on to my creation. ”
Koyanagi: "Bottleneck? No. When I write, it's all very smooth. Even if I can't write, I will do some foreplay, such as making the text easy, describing some simple daily life, and then I can write it in a steady stream of ease. ”
The little man's new book: "Two teachers, do you have a plan for your work?" Like an outline or something? ”
August Nagato: "Yes, and a lot, I'll do a very complete and perfect outline and synopsis of the story, as well as the background, and many other additional descriptions, interspersed with my brilliant lines and events. Basically, that's a little more than the body of the novel. ”
Koyanagi: "Outline? What is the outline? Can you eat it? ”
The big man Shinmoto couldn't help but ask, "So Mr. Koyanagi doesn't have a plan?" ”
Koyanagi said, "It's all in my head." ”
The big man was convinced: "Okay......"
Little man Xinben: "Hello two teachers, I look forward to two teachers, to be able to reach this point, I and the two teachers are the same, I am a high school student, I like to write novels very much, it is my dream to become a novelist, but my family does not agree, and I don't have enough time, I think, should I give up my studies and concentrate on writing novels?" PS: I really, really enjoy writing novels. ”
Nagato: "It's very irrational to give up your studies, I think, this classmate, you should have a goal, have a complete plan, and fully communicate with your family before continuing to write novels, and I believe you will succeed." ”
Koyanagi: "Let's give up writing novels. ”
The big man and the small man were stunned at the same time: "Huh? ”
Koyanagi continued: "Novels are not a reason for you to avoid your studies, nor is it a reason for you to be lazy, this world is not as simple as you think, the so-called dreams are definitely used to escape and be lazy. To put it simply, you're probably not because you like to write novels, but because you like the ease of writing novels, but I'm telling you very clearly that you won't succeed, and the consequence of giving up your studies is to gnaw at old age and then become a NEET. If you go on like this, you won't succeed and you won't become a novelist. ”
The big man and the little man listened to Koyanagi's words, and couldn't help but break out in some cold sweat, this point of view is really ruthless, and I can't help but be a little glad, compared to the audience who asked the question, Koyanagi's complaint is already very light.
"Is it really okay for Mr. Koyanagi to say that?" The big man Shinben hesitated for a moment and asked.
Xiao Yanagi frowned and said, "Do you really think that becoming a novelist and then making money is a very simple thing? ”
"Huh? Of course not......"
"In recent years, electronic products have developed rapidly, many bookstores have disappeared, e-books have gradually replaced physical books, although the process of this transformation is very long, but the physical industry has been very dangerous and sluggish, miracles such as me, but I am afraid it is difficult to have a second miracle, Japan's economy has been in a recession for so many years, there is no progress at all. A newcomer's novel, if it wants to be published, it is even more difficult to reach the sky, even if it is published, it is only a royalty remuneration of hundreds of thousands, and as the novel cannot be sold, there is no royalty in the account. If you don't become a NEET, it's only a matter of time before you starve to death...... And ......"
Listening to Xiao Yanagi's eloquent talk, the atmosphere became serious for a while, whether it was the big man or the small man, they all felt that Fang Cai's question was a bit wrong. (To be continued......)
