555. Text Interviews
On Sunday morning, the editorial office of the Immortal River Library, somewhere in the office.
Jiang Yu and Kasumigaoka Shiyu were looking at each other with wide eyes across half of the desk.
And why is this happening...... Let's start with an incident that happened three days ago.
Three days ago, that is, the day after Jiang Yu discussed the slogan with a group of girls in Muse, on Thursday night, Jiang Yu, who had been tortured to death by the originality of Wugen Liuli in the past few days, received a contact from his own editor again.
Black Cat: "There's a text interview that you need to do, just this Sunday morning, Jiang Jun, you're okay over there, right?"
Tu Su: "?"
At that time, Jiang Yu issued this spiritual question mark, which can be said to be a good interpretation of his psychological activities at that time.
Black Cat: "It's not an interview with an external media, but a special issue of you and "Spring Things" that Immortal Bunko hopes to use as a kanban work for "Immortal River UNDEADMAGAZINE" in February. Because among the new writers who emerged last year, "Baili Tu Su" is undoubtedly the most topical, and the latest volume of "Spring Things" has also caused a huge topic on the Internet recently, so the above means strike while the iron is hot and work harder."
Tu Su: "...... Is it impossible to refuse? What is the name of this magazine, can I complain?"
Black Cat: "Unfortunately, that's it. In addition, it is forbidden to complain. How many interview requests do you think our editorial department has rejected for you in the past six months? So this time, even I, whether it's in position or emotion, can't replace you in refusal. Of course, my personal advice is that you had better go next, after all, it is your own magazine, and it will not pit your future 'pillar'~~"
Tu Su: "Haha, this title should spare me. Anyway, I get it, this Sunday morning, right? Where's the location?"
Black Cat: "Huh? You promised so much? I thought I would have to go through the trouble of persuading you~ If the location is located, it's in the editorial office of the Immortal River Library."
Tu Su: "Well...... I also know that this half a year is almost the limit. After all, in this era when all walks of life are idolized, how can there be a reason for the author to hide? But I still hope that at least until I graduate from high school, I can do away with the signing of events."
Black Cat: "I still know this in my heart...... However, Jiang Jun, you suddenly said such sensible words, which really makes me so unaccustomed to it."
Tu Su: "Really? I think it's a lot more natural for you to talk after the New Year."
Tu Su: "Ah~ Of course, I didn't mean to spy on your privacy. If I upset you, please let me apologize."
Black Cat: "No, you don't have to apologize. Also, my ...... Hmm............"
Tu Su: "I haven't finished reading it yet, so after reading it, I'll sort out my thoughts and what I think are the strengths and weaknesses of myself, okay?"
Black Cat: "Of course! I can't thank you enough!"
Then, pull the timeline back to the present.
After the two stared at each other for a long time, Jiang Yu couldn't stand this inexplicable oppression, and took the lead in breaking the silence: "Ahem! I didn't expect to meet Senior Sister Shiyu here today~ Anyway, what is Senior Sister doing today? I ...... because the editor asked me to come to an interview."
Kasumigaoka Shiyu was stunned when she heard this, then frowned, and interrupted: "Interview? That magazine with a name full of lust for complaints? ”
Jiang Yu blinked, his expression was also a little stunned: "Yes...... "Immortal River UNDEADMAGANIZE" ......"
Quickly after sorting out the current situation in his mind, Kasumigaoka Shiyu suddenly gritted his teeth: "That soul light editor!" ”
"Uh......"
Just when Jiang Yu didn't know how to answer, the door of the office was pushed open, and a heroic working woman walked in with sassy steps.
"Yo~ Are the two teachers here? Then the interview can begin later. Xiao Liuli, it's okay to leave it to you, right? ”
At this time, Jiang Yu found that behind Machida Yuanzi, there were young women who were also wearing a women's suit and the aura of a working woman was not so strong.
Of course, compared to Machida Yuanzi, he is much more familiar with this.
It's just that before Jiang Yu could greet the five more glasses, Kasumigaoka Shiyu stood up with his hands on his chest and said unceremoniously: "Miss Machida, why is Junijun-kun also here?" I hadn't heard of anything like this when you were begging me to take this job. ”
Seeing this, Jiang Yu also raised his hand, and asked with a subtle expression: "I also want to ask about this matter." However, Senior Sister Shiyu, your blatant reluctance is really hurtful......"
Hearing this, Kasumigaoka Shiyu glanced at Jiang Yu, who was pretending to be gloomy, and then immediately stared at Machida Yuanzi, who had a light expression, and said with amazing courage: "I just don't like to be deceived." ”
In this regard, Machida Yuanzi's lips were slightly curled, her eyebrows and eyes were crooked, not only did she not answer Jiang Yu's questions, but instead pushed the five watch glasses behind her to the front of the stage, and said: "This editor is today's interviewer, Teacher Tu Su should already be an acquaintance with her, so if you know each other or something, you can do it yourself later~ That's it~"
"Ah~cough!" After finishing speaking, Machida Yuanzi suddenly put on a serious face again, "Okay, the recording and writing work will be handed over to Xiao Ruri, no problem, right?" ”
Wugenliu's delicate eyebrows furrowed, and he said firmly: "No problem!" ”
"Okay~Then I'll leave it to you for the next two hours~"
With that, Machida Enko reflexively opened the door of the office and walked out.
Kasumigaoka Shiyu trembled slightly, his eyes seemed to be able to see Machida Yuanzi who had disappeared behind the door, and his face was also blue and white, which made Jiang Yu on the side a little overwhelmed.
But fortunately, he was not the only one on the scene.
After slamming his palms and attracting the attention of the two, he smiled and said, "Let me introduce myself, I am the intern editor of Wugen Liuli, and I am also the editor of Mr. Baili Tusu." Anyway, it's a pleasure to have the opportunity to meet you today, Ms. Kasumiko. ”
Kasumigaoka Shiyu glanced at the five watches Ruri condescendingly, reluctantly put away the anger that had just been provoked by Machida Yuanzi, and sat back in his previous position without saying a word.
Seeing this, Jiang Yu took the initiative to take over the topic: "Ah~ Long time no see, black ...... Ahem, Miss Five. Senior Sister Shiyu, she is such a character, you don't have to mind too much. ”
"It's good to call it according to Jiang Jun's habits, although it is an interview, but it hasn't started after all, you don't have to be restrained."
Wugen Liuli also smiled, not caring about the slight faux pass of Xiazhiqiu Shiyu. It's better to say, she has heard of the rather difficult character of "Kasumi Shizi" for a long time, and now the bottom of her heart is "That's true".
And after discovering that the interviewer was an acquaintance, Jiang Yu's previous discomfort in his heart was completely eliminated. He tugged at his collar and asked jokingly, "Black cat, are you still in the internship period?" Anyway, why did you get mixed up with the chief writer of the magazine during the internship period? ”
Wumore Liuli walked to the long desk and sat down at the end of the competition between the two of them, and after taking out the recorder and pen and paper, he replied: "Because I only graduated in March this year~ After that, it can be regarded as an official entry, but now it is no different from having already joined." As for Jiang Jun, your second question...... Well, in short, there is a deep reason. ”
Faced with the complicated expression of his own editor who was not so much "unwilling to say more" as "unbearable to look back", Jiang Yu laughed twice and wisely did not answer.
Presumably something that involves the dark side of the industry, right? For example, the person who is expected to come for the interview today suddenly ran away due to excessive work pressure or something?
"Okay~ Then please let me start recording here......" Wugenliu's face was tense, he opened the recorder, glanced at the manuscript, and said, "Xia Shizi and Teacher Baili Tusu, thank you very much for taking time out of your busy schedule to accept our interview today......"
Kasumigaoka Shiyu sighed rather explicitly, and said with some disgust: "Let's talk about it first, if it's a boring interview, I'll fall asleep in the middle of the interview, right?" I, but I was forced by a tough editor to write a short story about a store bonus all night this morning......"
Wugenliuli's expression remained unchanged, and he continued in a steady tone: "First of all, congratulations to the two teachers' works, which have sold well in the past six months. At the same time, in last year's "This light book is really amazing!" , won a good ranking......"
"Wait!" Jiang Yu's glasses widened when he heard this, and he interrupted with a surprised expression, "I haven't heard of this at all...... Really, Black Cat? ”
The corners of Wugenliuli's eyes twitched when she heard this, and her serious expression seemed to be a little unbearable, but she still forcibly endured it, bit her lip, and asked rhetorically: "But before I ask a formal question, I have a particularly curious question, I don't know if the two teachers can solve my doubts?" ”
"That is, the two teachers seem to be very good, is there any special relationship between the two?"
Faced with this question, Kasumigaoka Shiyu's sleepy expression just now immediately dissipated without a trace, and looked at Jiang Yu with interest, waiting for his answer.
Jiang Yu naturally also received the baptism of gaze from the editor and the senior sister, smiled and replied: "I don't know if it's a coincidence, the two of us are seniors in the same school, and we are also members of the same club. ”
"I see." Wugen Liuli was very clever to the end, and did not continue to dig into the news of the relationship between the two, but answered Jiang Yu's previous question, "About Jiang Jun's question before...... I think I should have sent you a message after the results were in, right? In late November, should it be the 25th or the 26th? As a result, you didn't pay attention at all?! Ah, I won't put this in the interview materials, so don't worry. ”
"That, that ......" Jiang Yu looked at his own editor who seemed to be really angry, and a drop of cold sweat quietly slipped down his forehead, "I was stumped by all kinds of things during that time...... Well, all sorts of things......"
At the same time, he also muttered in his heart: Is it the end of November that the selection time for "Light" is it? I didn't think that after the sixth volume was released, I might be able to reap some miracle results.
By the way, the release of the sixth volume of "Spring Things" was at the end of December.
"Hu ......" In the face of Jiang Yu's insincere explanation, Wugen Liuli surprisingly did not look too angry, or rather, he was used to being numb, "It's rude, back to the previous topic - Teacher Xia Shizi's "April is Your Lies" won the second place, and Teacher Baili Tusu's "My Youth Love Story is really problematic" also won the fourth place. As writers who have debuted for two years and half a year, both of them are quite remarkable. ”
Kasumigaoka Shiyu regained his previous sleepy appearance, and replied coldly: "It's nothing special. ”
Jiang Yu glanced at his senior sister in astonishment, and added: "This is all thanks to the support of fans." ”
The fifth more Liuli also glanced at Kasumigaoka Shiyu, and secretly said that it was indeed the author who the editor-in-chief of Machida specially told him to maintain a normal mentality during the interview, and from this point of view, the irresponsible author of his own family, there is still some permission to take it!
"Speaking of "Spring Things", presumably Mr. Baili Tu Su also knows what kind of turmoil the latest volume has caused on the Internet."
Faced with the seemingly smiling and groaning questions and expressions of the five watch glasses, Jiang Yu's heart trembled, and he was secretly glad that he had recently paid attention to a wave of comments on the Internet, although it was due to the attention he paid in passing when searching for "Gate of Destiny Stone......
He froze and replied in a steady tone, "Well...... It really caused a lot of waves. But in my opinion, that's what makes my work appealing to readers, so personally, I feel quite accomplished. ”
Wumore Liuli didn't give Jiang Yu a chance to breathe, and asked non-stop: "Oh? Even if he received a lot of scolding on the Internet because of this, and was even threatened by some extreme fans? ”
Jiang Yu smiled: "In fact, many of the fans' words are hot-headed. Even if it is the 'distressed teacher' that appears in a series on the Internet, in my opinion, it actually only means that the protagonist I created has caught everyone's attention. This is actually a very rare thing to create a successful actor in the light world in recent years, and I am not very honored. ”
"'Big Teacher'? That's an interesting name. Is this the nickname that you, the author, give to the protagonist of your pen? ”
Wumore Liuli grasped the most critical part of Jiang Yu's sentence.
At this time, Jiang Yu realized that he had lost his words, but it was difficult to justify himself, so he had to say the wrong thing: "Well, because the character of Biqigu often gives some 'positive theories' that seem to be reasonable, but are actually all crooked and heretical?" Therefore, in my opinion, in the eyes of many readers who admire this character, he is not much different from a mentor on the road of life. ”
"Of course, I still have to say here that those thoughts only represent the thoughts and thoughts of the character of Hikiya Hachiman, and have nothing to do with the author himself, and at the same time, everyone should not listen to it partially, and it will be even worse to blindly follow. After all, it's a 'sophomore disease'! ”
"In addition, I would like to say a certain trend recently - there are no bad people in "Spring Things". Please stay sensible during the discussion and don't be swayed by emotions. ”
Wugen Liuli nodded: "I see, I think the nickname 'Big Teacher' will soon become popular among readers and fans!" However, I am personally skeptical of the sentence 'It has nothing to do with the author himself'~"
"Hahaha~~ It really doesn't matter~~"
Next, with Jiang Yu's cooperation, the interview went smoothly. Although Kasumigaoka Shiyu only answered occasionally, he didn't really fall asleep as he said at the beginning.
Wugen Liuli glanced at the manuscript, took a sip of water, and continued the interview: "Then, the next topic is the new work that fans are most concerned about. May I ask Ms. Xia Shizi, under what circumstances did the amazing work of "Literary Girl" come up with? ”
Hearing this question, Shiyu and Jiang Yu couldn't help but glance at each other, and Wugen Liuli, who saw this scene, in addition to sighing "It's really youthful", also had a little guess about the relationship between the two in their hearts.
It's weird.
Wumore Liuli smiled at herself in her heart.
Obviously, he cursed him so seriously and cursed himself in the world, but now he can face this kind of sweet and sour thing in front of him so calmly?
No, that's probably not straightforward. It's that the problem itself has been left there for so long, eroded by time, and naturally weathered.
If the heart knot is weathered, then it will naturally not be painful or sentimental.
Jiang Yu and Xia Zhiqiu Shiyu naturally didn't know how their subconscious action actually caused the interviewer in front of them to feel ups and downs.
After a moment of silence, Kasumigaoka Shiyu pursed her lips and replied, "Probably because I want to 'progress' and 'transcend', that's why this work was born." However, because the opponent was too strong, I had to find another way and borrow a little bit of the power of my predecessors. ”
This point is so far,Five more glasses naturally didn't understand too clearly,But the interview thing,There is no need for such a definite answer.,When the interviewer converts the recording into text later,In fact, most of them are retouched.,And with subjective conjecture.。
So she just smiled and continued, "I see. However, speaking of the work "Literary Girl", some fans left messages on the Internet saying that it was different from Kasumi's previous style. What does Ms. Kasumi think about this? ”
Kasumigaoka Shiyu brushed her hair boredly and replied indifferently, "I don't have any opinions." ”
Wugenliu's expression remained unchanged, and after a pause, he said casually: "...... Well, I'll interpret it on behalf of Teacher Xia Shizi, probably out of the idea of 'challenging yourself'! This kind of thing is very common, and it is common for writers and teachers who have written popular works to get too caught up in the next work like this, "This is what I want to write." However, in fact, in most cases, reviews and sales have deteriorated compared to the previous game after release. In this regard, the "literary girl" is an exception! (laughs)"
"Hey, don't read 'laugh' too?"
In the face of Jiang Yu's complaints, Wugen Liuli looked calm: "It is true that after the work is sold, the author's opinion will become easy to pass by the publishing house." However, this success probably proves the profound skills of Teacher Xia Shizi, right? Can you tell us a little bit about your thoughts on the first volume? ”
Kasumigaoka Shiyu sighed, didn't say anything, and looked very tired.
Wugen Liuli didn't care about Jiang Yu's stunned eyes at all, and continued to take care of himself: "Yes, the first volume of "Literary Girl" "The Clown Who Longs for Death", the many characters described in it really made many critics and fans sigh. And borrowing from Osamu Dazai's "Human Disqualification", it integrates the theme of Kasumiko's own thinking, and it also makes everyone's eyes shine. I believe that everyone will definitely look forward to the upcoming second volume! Speaking of which, is it convenient for Ms. Xia Shizi to reveal the relevant information of the second volume? I think many readers and fans must be concerned about this. ”
Xiazhiqiu Shiyu was as steady as Mount Tai, and responded indifferently: "Regarding this, I can only say that it is similar to the style of the first volume, and it also involves a world-famous masterpiece. But specifically, you need to find the answer in the book. ”
"Teacher Xia Shizi said so. Everyone must support the second volume of "Literary Girl" "The Ghost Who Longs for True Love". ”
Wugen Liuli used the tone of a stick to read, and read such incendiary words that should have been full of enthusiasm.
Next is the part about the seventh volume of "Spring Things".,But since Jiang Yu hasn't submitted the first draft yet.,So it's just a brief mention.,Mainly to promote the upcoming "Spring Things" TV animation that will be released in April.。 It's the "Miracle" animation production company of Immortal Chuan Library and Jiang Qian, and they have jointly played a wave of advertising.
"Whew...... That's pretty much it, right? ”
In the end, Wugen Liuli muttered like this, turned off the recorder, sorted out all the documents, stood up, and saluted Jiang Yu and Xia Zhiqiu Shiyu: "Thank you very much for the care of the two teachers today, after the book is completed, we will also send the sample journal to the homes of the two." After that, it was fine, and the two of them could leave at any time. So, I'm going to put together an interview and say goodbye first. ”
After finishing speaking, Wugen Liuli left the office with the documents, and threw Jiang Yu a meaningful look before leaving.
Jiang Yu pursed his lips, walked to Xiazhiqiu Shiyu and sat down, shook the shoulders of the senior sister who had fallen on the table since the end of the fifth watch Liuli announcement, and called softly: "You can go back, Senior Sister Shiyu?" ”
"Hmmm......"
Kasumigaoka Shiyu emitted a slightly charming syllable from his nose, twisted his head, and stood up a little staggeringly. But halfway through getting up, Su's whole body softened and fell directly to Jiang Yu's side.
Jiang Yu, who was caught off guard by this move, subconsciously reached out and dragged the other party, and then, Xia Zhiqiu Shiyu just rested his head on Jiang Yu's thigh, his eyes closed.
Then, the sound of the girl's breathing gradually stabilized.
Jiang Yu, who couldn't tell whether the other party was really sleeping or fake sleeping, smiled helplessly, and brushed back the scattered hair of the girl on his legs one by one.
Speaking of which, why do I always give other people's knee pillows?
While feeling the smooth touch of Kasumigaoka Shiyu's silky hair, such a thought suddenly popped up in Jiang Yu's mind.
But that's not the point.
"Thank you for your hard work."
In the end, the boy muttered so softly with complicated feelings that he didn't know how many.
The corners of the girl's lips rose slightly, and she fell into a light sleep.
This situation has nothing to do with Fengyue. Take a hundred plating to read the latest chapter of "Programmer in the Two-Dimensional Claw Book House" for free for the first time.
