Chapter 185: Determination, Desire, Escalation
Harano-kun, I want to make sure of one thing with you! ”
"You say."
"Have you ever written a short story called 'Listen to the Wind'?"
As soon as Shingo Harano himself sent a message, he saw the other party reply in seconds, and the other party's mood seemed to be a little anxious and excited.
I thought that since the other party asked so, it must be because of the influence of the Akutagawa Award. If his book is still a bestseller in bookstores, it is because of the comparison with the books of the same period, that is, the books issued by newcomers or unknown authors.
Ordinary people don't go straight to the shelves of best-selling books or look for some works under the names of those famous writers, how can they go to see some other works, even if they don't know people, they all look at what literary awards have been won on the cover of the book, and those award-winning works will basically make a record cover on the cover of the book, so that it looks high-grade and eye-catching.
In addition to the middle-aged and elderly people, there are no books to read, or they come to the interest to take a turn, in order to see these new works that are not famous, if they are well written, then it will become a kind of communication effect, this person will volunteer to act as a tap water to recommend to other readers, and then this snowball will roll bigger and bigger.
Shingo Harano: "It's me. ”
"Really! I didn't expect it to be true! ”
"Harano-kun, you've been shortlisted for the Akutagawa Prize, Si Koiichi! I didn't expect that..."
Looking at the messages that appeared line after line on his phone, he scratched his head helplessly, how did he feel that Matsushima's reaction was so big, it felt like someone in the rice circle had seen his idol.
Of course, if he can be selected at his age, he definitely has the capital to be proud, but he always feels that this selection reveals weirdness.
You must know that if a work is to be selected for the Akutagawa Prize, there will generally be judges of the committee who will ventilate in advance, and there are so many works lined up in front of it, and the popularity of "Listen to the Wind" is still on the rise, and it stands to reason that it will not be able to rank itself.
Judging from Inoue's attitude and statement, he should also think that his luck this time is really against the sky, or that he feels that he is really very talented, but Yuan Ye Shingo still has a trace of doubt.
"Well, Matsushima-san came to me to confirm this matter?"
"No, it's not! I... I wanted to ask Harano-kun for writing experience, that... I've written some of my works, but they don't seem to work, so..."
This is different from what Nobita said, didn't it mean to find yourself to apprentice, how did you get here and become an experience-seeking?
emm....... It should be a girl's self-esteem, and Shigo Harano can only think so, after all, Erika Matsushima and herself are probably outsiders, and Nobita can barely be regarded as an "insider", and girls are thin-skinned, which is really normal.
If you really worship yourself as a teacher, you really can't do it.
Writing books is all about copying, and writing is all about points!
If you want to talk about experience, it is nothing more than the improvement of the writing brought by the panel, and you want to tell stories and fantasies...... He's kind of a dead brain.
Since it's Nobita's girlfriend, I really can't refuse, but I must slaughter him well when I go back, make up my mind, and reply: "I can't talk about it, we can discuss it together, in fact, I'm just a newcomer." ”
Shingo Harano lowered his posture very low, reminding himself that he should not be proud at all times, and that the biggest reason why people cannot progress is pride and satisfaction.
The other party's message was sent back quickly.
"Uh-huh, I'll invite Harano-kun to the tearoom for tea tasting that weekend and discuss this aspect of things!" A few seconds after it was issued, it seemed that he felt that this sentence was a little out of place, and he sent another sentence: "Call Kami-chan and Yamashita-kun, let's go together." ”
"Okay."
"Uh-huh."
Yuan Ye saw that she seemed to be a little excited and hurriedly sent a message, and couldn't help but laugh dumbly, but it's okay to talk about it, it's not a big deal.
Originally, he planned to go to Songxue Spring Water this weekend to ask for help and use her recording studio to shoot a piano video for himself, but now it seems that it is going to be delayed.
It's good to go around, I haven't had much rest since the beginning of school, and I have been writing at home at night for a month and studying seriously during the day, which is indeed a bit like what high school students in this country should be.
The book "Retrograde" should have an echo in the past few days, and he hasn't chosen what to write about the next one during this period, but what he wrote during this time is the light that promised Inoue Ichiro.
It's not just a promise, it's more... He ran out of money.
As for how there is no money, then I have to mention the attitude of Shingo Harano who spends money like water.
He thinks that money is for spending, and he always pulls Ai Fukuhara to buy clothes and cosmetics on weekdays, he feels that Ai Fukuhara's previous life was indeed too embarrassing, and now that he has money, he naturally has to spend it well.
The fact that the fridge at home is full of fruit proves that he spent a lot of money...
A peach costs 700 yen, which is really not something that ordinary people can afford, but he loves to eat fruits, and he has developed this habit since he was a child, so even if it is more expensive, he still gritted his teeth and never broke it.
Although there will be a monthly manuscript fee in the account, but if you want to be extravagant, it is still a little insufficient, and the traditional sales will show explosive income after winning the award, as for before... It's good not to lose money, which is why only 10,000 copies of "Let's Listen to the Wind" were printed.
After ending the conversation with Erika Matsushima on the LINE, Ai Fukuhara came over with a bowl of hot tonkotsu noodles and brought her own portion twice, and Harano took advantage of this time to make a pot of buckwheat tea.
"I'm ready, eat it while it's hot~"
"Let's eat it too." Seeing that she was still wearing an apron, Shingo Harano wrapped her thin waist around her and untied her with his own hands, then folded it twice at random and put it aside, patting the sofa next to him.
Well...... The taste is very good, Ai-chan's cooking skills have improved again, not only the cooking has improved, but even the housework has become more handy, looking at the neat and clean house, he can't help but nod.
"Shingo."
"Well, what's wrong?"
"You said we wouldn't be able to afford to eat in the future."
"How is it possible, I will do my best to take care of you, if I can't even fill your belly, then am I still a man?"
"But... I want to too..."
Looking at Ai Fukuhara's appearance of wanting to speak and stopping, Shingo Harano asked.
"What?"
"No... It's nothing. ”
Yuan Ye Shingo rubbed her little head and didn't take it too seriously, if she couldn't even support the two of them, it would be really blind to such a good advantage and her own panel, and said with a smile: "Drink some water, the night drama you want to watch is about to start." ”
Ai Fukuhara was taken aback, and hurriedly turned on the TV, turned up the volume, and sure enough, it had already begun to enter the opening song, which is a family ethics drama. Shigo Harano is a little curious, why doesn't she watch these instead of watching love dog dramas, is it that it has been upgraded? Beginning to advance towards the life of a middle-aged couple...
Shaking his head and smiling dumbly, he cleaned up the dishes and chopsticks on the table, took them to the kitchen to wash, poured a cup of buckwheat tea and put it in front of her, so that she could drink some when she was thirsty.
At home, Shingo Harano had already agreed with her that she would cook and wash the dishes herself, which could be regarded as a little contribution to the kitchen.
