Chapter Twenty-Eight: Hot Pot for Four
In Japan, the average writer calculates the manuscript fee based on the number of manuscripts, but if the average author is an average author, each piece of manuscript paper (400 words) is 5,000 yen, and if there is a regular column of about 1,600 words per day, the income is 20,000 yen. Generally, the serialization is about 2 months, and this income can be known.
After the novel is published as a single book, there is also income from stamp duty. The stamp duty in Japan is about 10%, so according to the general price of a novel of 2,000 yen, 2,000 yen × 10%× number of copies = the author's income.
There is another place where writers can make money, and that is speaking. If you give an interview in Japan (an exclusive interview), you will have to pay for the interview, and this is also based on your reputation. The average interview fee for a writer is between 25,000 and 30,000 yen per interview, and for other writers, it costs between 200,000 and 300,000 yen, depending on the popularity and financial strength of the inviting organization.
The first novel "Window Light" written by Jun Muraka as a debut work, got the lowest manuscript fee, fortunately got the literary award, and directly won a prize of 300,000 yen, and after winning the award, it was recommended by a wider range of promotion, and the final sales are currently in the early 100,000s.
The second work submitted this time, "A Good Weather for a Man", has also attracted the attention of the editors of the magazine, and it has been serialized at present, as for whether it will be nominated for the Akutagawa Prize, it all depends on the selection of judges in January next year, and Jun Murakashi still has some confidence in this. Therefore, there is a village of Jiajun who is really not poor now, but he just doesn't want to spend money indiscriminately.
On this day, Jun Arimura and Nana Hashimoto came to Mai Shiraishi's apartment to meet in order to see a house and rent a house.
"That's it, I asked the administrator, Sha Youli and I are in a unit, and there is currently a 1K in a unit, which is a vacant room without furniture and appliances; There are two 1K rooms in the second unit, with beds, sofas, TVs, etc. Mai Shiraishi picked up Nana and Kajun downstairs, and pointed to the unit directly outside to explain the situation.
"Don't you need any key money?" Nana Hashimoto asked
"Well, yes, it's the landlord who gave the administrator to help with the rent, and the administrator will charge a month's rent for the intermediary fee, and you don't have to pay the deposit, if you don't live in the administrator, you're responsible for cleaning the room." Mai Shiraishi
"Can I go in and have a look now?" Jun Arimura asked
"Okay, let's go!" Mai Shiraishi reliably took Jun Ka and Nana to find the administrator, and after explaining the situation, the administrator took the key and took the three of them to check the house together.
The layout of the three apartments is exactly the same, and the vacant one was removed because the previous occupant did not need the furniture and appliances in the room, and if necessary, it could be matched.
"How's Nanawei?" Jun Murakama asked, he was quite satisfied, although the apartment is small, but the facilities that should be there are enough.
"I think it's pretty good." Hashimoto Nana did not refer to the dormitory situation,Really feel good,After all, the bathroom of the dormitory is not separated,Although the room is slightly larger than the apartment,But it is better to feel the bathroom separation,And it is very good to save the gift deposit,The intermediary fee is a very normal expenditure。
"Then settle it! I wanted that one-unit one, and it just so happened that I didn't want a bed. "There is a village frame pure sleep to put a bed is a bit of a hindrance, the space itself is very small, and then put down the bed will feel very aggrieved, it is better to sleep directly on the ground, in case there are good friends in the future to play to stay for a night, do not have to worry about the problem of the bed.
"Everywhere I live, it's the same, but what about Nanase?" Nana Hashimoto didn't expect Nanase to come to Tokyo today because there was still something going on in his hometown, so he didn't come to Tokyo to look at the house together.
"Since the two of you are optimistic, sign it first, and then talk about it, and you can contact Nanase to ask when you can come and see the house." Mai Shiraishi instigated the two of them to sign quickly, and they signed to live so close, hehehehehe! If you miss out on being rented by someone else, it will be uncomfortable.
"Nana didn't go first, I'll call Nanase outside and ask." Jun Murakata doesn't want to miss this house.
Nana Hashimoto followed Mai Shiraishi and the administrator to the office to sign the contract, and Jun Arimura dialed Nanase's phone.
"Rack pure?" Nanase Nishino's voice came.
"Well, I'm with Nana Wei now, Mai Sample, come to see Mai Sample's apartments here, all in one building, there are exactly three rooms, Nana and I have decided to rent here, I want to ask Nanase when I can come over to see the house, if it's too long, I'm afraid it will be rented out." Jun Murakashi reported the situation.
"So fast, how much?" Nanase Nishino asked while considering her wallet, but her mother still disagreed, but Tokyo had to go.
"The rent is 50,000 yen, and I just said that the key replacement fee is 15,000, and there is a monthly rent for the brokerage fee, so I don't need a key money or deposit, which is really good." Jun Arimuraka hopes that Nanase can make a quick decision, and if it is delayed, I don't know when the house will be rented out, so it will be more difficult to find a neighborhood.
"I'm sorry, I can't go to Tokyo today, I believe in the eyes of Kajun and Nanawei, do you have any money left?" Nishino Nanase really wants to go to Tokyo immediately to settle down the house, Nana and Kajun both feel good, and they won't be bad, but unfortunately there is something at home today, and they have to stay at home, Kajun and Nana don't seem to be rich in money, and they are anxiously praying that they still have money left.
"I have it here, does Nanase mean to settle it directly?" Jun Arimura asked.
"If you can, can you book it for me? I'll return the money to Kajun when I get back to Tokyo. "Nanase Nishino is glad that there is still money left.
"No problem, then I'll help Nanase settle down, it will take about a few days to get the key, there are basic furniture inside, there is also a TV, Nanase can prepare first to see what needs to be brought over." Jun Murakashi is very willing to help Nanase set a house, so he doesn't have to worry about it, and he can live next to his friends, no matter how he thinks about it.
Hanging up the phone, Jun Arimura then entered the office and rented two apartments directly in his own name. Nanase himself is not there, and the contract cannot be signed in Nanase's name, and it will be too troublesome to wait for Nanase to come and sign it.
After signing the contract, Jun Arimuraka and Nanami Hashimoto did not leave directly, and wanted to thank Mai for her help, so the three of them hit it off, went out to buy ingredients together, came to Mai's apartment, and called Sha Yuri, who had just returned to the apartment, and held a hot pot party together.
"It's so good~ Let's hold more parties like this in the future! I still want to get close to Nanase~" Mai Shiraishi sighed, she actually likes Nanase, but Nanase seems to be a little afraid of herself, and she hasn't been very close to herself, and when Nanase moves over, she must get along with everyone!
"Hahaha, maybe Mai's impression on Nanase is too bad, right?" There is a village frame pure smile, on the day of the interview, I more or less glanced at the girls who were interviewing together, and one of them had a little impression that it was Mai, which was too bad.
"Maybe~ I'm also afraid of being raw~" Mai Shiraishi said helplessly.
"So, everyone is really amazing, a group of people who are afraid of life came to interview for idol jobs, and the results passed." Nana Hashimoto added.
"Is Sha Youli not feeling well today?" It's a little strange today that Sha Youli has a village frame of pure jue, and the usual Sha Youli is not as stupid and cute as he is in front of the camera, but he is a very smart person, but he has never been so silent as he was tonight.
"Well, I heard from Yumi-san that she decided to graduate." Matsumura Sayuri is really not in high spirits today, otherwise he wouldn't have eaten so little in his favorite hot pot. Because today I met Yumiko Iwase, the oldest sister in the group, Yumi-san said that she decided to graduate.
"Really?" Mai Shiraishi can't believe the news at all, Nogizaka's debut is not even one year old, everything is just beginning, why is Sister Yumi graduating at this time?
"Well, she told me herself. She said that she likes music, idols are different from what she thinks, she failed in the audition, she failed in the sixteen-person performance, she couldn't see hope, she wanted to go on another path. Matsumura Sayuri said the reason in a low voice, and then thought of himself who failed to perform in the sixteen-member performance a while ago and collapsed after stepping down, and he also felt hopeless at that time.
"Everyone will graduate sooner or later, it's just the difference between early and late, Sister Yumi has found the path she wants to take, we should congratulate her." There is no sadness about this, graduation is not a parting of life and death, it is impossible to be an idol for a lifetime, when the time comes, everyone will find their own path to move forward, if it is really as Sha Youli said, Sister Youmei found the path she wanted to take, it should be found that the road of idols has been unable to go, recognize their own path in time and continue to walk, no matter what the result is, this courage is commendable, and the same should be blessed.
"I have the same idea as Jia Chun, even if I graduate, no matter which path I take, I will support her, and she is a very handsome person." Nana Hashimoto is also not too sad about this news, there is no idol for a lifetime, and it is not very good to be able to find a way to the future during this period, everyone is very good, and they all joined in with various ideas, and it takes more courage to quit now.
"It's too fast..."Mai Shiraishi can't say words of congratulations now, although Sister Yumi is the oldest, she has never been a strict person, but she will treat everyone very gently, she has been joked with by everyone, she won't get angry, she has always been relied on by everyone, and she is reluctant to let Sister Yumi leave so early, a little lonely.
"Where is our path? I've been wondering lately, is it really right to give up university and join Nogizaka? "Sayuri Matsumura is in a very bad mood now, he gave up everything to join Nogizaka, the failure of the sixteen-person performance, he has so many opportunities, and he is also loved by everyone, but the result of the votes tells him that he was defeated, is his choice really right?
"Everyone joined Nogizaka with different moods, no matter what the initial mood was, now as an idol event, loved by fans, fans know better than us, everyone will graduate sooner or later, but still support us, I hope we can find our own better path, and the fans are looking forward to it, in order to give back to these, we continue to grow to find our own path, isn't it good?" Jun Arimura is actually a very straightforward and decisive person.,It's always a clean and neat type of thing for yourself.,Once it comes to other people.,,Don't directly point out what's wrong with the other party.,Never say 'what should you do' but will euphemistically put forward opinions 'Isn't this better' and the like.。
"Yes, since you have joined in, you can't do some results." After listening to Matsumura Sayuri's words, he felt much more comfortable, he was loved by fans, giving up everything to join Nogizaka was something he had seriously considered, and the four singles were still the gods of good fortune, and they were also reused by adults, and now there are teammates who can sit together to eat and chat, and the members are actually very good people, and they haven't imagined messy things for themselves, although they have given up a lot, but they have also gained a lot, for themselves, and for their fans, In order for Nogizaka's combination to get better and better, I must do a good job.
