Chapter 192: Winning a prize is not easy
You mean, I won the Akutagawa Prize? ”
Shingo Harano turned his head with some difficulty and looked at Inoue Ichiro and said this.
"That's right, and this year's Akutagawa Award is only awarded to you alone, and your "Let's Listen to the Wind" was awarded the Akutagawa Award for the second half of the previous year by "Literature and Art Spring and Autumn" yesterday.
It stands to reason that the magazine of "Literature and Art Spring and Autumn" should have sent you an email yesterday, I called you several times on the way and didn't get through, I was really in a hurry.
Harano-kun, you are now the youngest winner of the Akutagawa Prize in the island country, which is not only great news, but also some insiders say that it is Akira Takeshita, a master of contemporary literature, who supports you, and you have received the appreciation of Mr. Takeshita!
I thought someone was going to interview you today, and I couldn't get through to the phone, so I drove here. ”
The flushed Inoue Ichiro tried his best to suppress his excitement, briefly told Shingo Harano the cause and effect of the incident, and then waited for his reply.
After being silent for a while, Shingo Harano raised his head and looked at the blue sky in the distance, which was a bit beautiful.
I can't figure out why I won the award, but the most important thing to do right now is not to think about those things.
He took a deep breath, tightened his lips, looked at Inoue Ichiro and said, "What should I say later?" ”
Inoue Ichiro's eyes widened when he heard this, what do you say? It's you who won the award, not me, bastard!
"Is Mr. Harano available for an interview? Please give us some time, we've all been waiting for a long time! Suddenly, there was a person in the crowd who blurted out quite urgently.
"Yes, yes, we would like to ask the youngest Akutagawa Award winner in the island nation in recent years, we have the right to interview!"
"Does Mr. Harano have a girlfriend? What do parents do? ”
"I heard that Mr. Harano originally wrote lightly, why did he suddenly enter the tradition? Could it be that lightness can no longer satisfy your desires? ”
"Does Mr. Harano have Lori control ......?"
"He won an award like the Akutagawa Prize at such a young age, and I heard that he also published a new book called 'Retrograde', so I think that even if he hadn't won the Akutagawa Prize this time, Mr. Harano would have won the Akutagawa Prize in the first half of this year." A male reporter who had carefully read the works of Shingo Harano said seriously.
These reporters seem to be a little impatient and ask very sharp questions, but there are still people who have some knowledge of his work.
But what the hell is that Lolicon... Definitely smear yourself again...
Hearing them say this, Inoue Ichiro hurriedly stepped forward to explain a few words, saying that Harano Shingo had just woken up and had not come back to his senses, so he asked reporters and friends to give him a little time, and after speaking, he quickly pulled Harano Shingo to a slightly remote and quiet roof, and said with a little concern: "Since they are here to interview Harano-kun himself, you can deal with it a little, just don't tell your private information, lest these guys make something to destroy your reputation." ”
Shingo Harano nodded, indicating that he understood what he meant.
In fact, the Akutagawa Prize has changed from a so-called "newcomer to the dragon gate" award at the beginning to one of the highest literary awards in the island nation alongside Naoki Prize, and it is an award that affirms the status of new writers in the literary world, and its gold content is beyond doubt.
The winner will receive nearly 1 million yen and a pocket watch, and although the actual material reward is not high, the significance is much greater than this, and the fact that he can write the golden name of the winner of the ×× Akutagawa Award on the cover of his published book in the future is basically a finalized best-selling author.
Not only that, for example, the current reporter comes directly to Haranoya for an interview, because he has just won the award, but if he comes to interview him again in the future, he will have to pay a lot of money for the interview, in addition to the lecture fee, tea talk fee, and so on.
Harano Shingo also calmed down, if he really committed something, he couldn't escape the fifteenth year of junior high school, and he would never believe it if he said that this Akutagawa Award didn't mean Koichiro Matsuyuki.
No matter what calculations others make in their hearts, the benefits have already reached his mouth, and he has no reason not to eat it, and it has become an established fact, I am afraid that it is better to accept it generously.
So he settled down, walked to the group with a calm face, and began to discuss the matter of him winning the Akutagawa Prize.
The reporters and friends who couldn't wait for a long time saw that the owner was finally willing to speak, and they scrambled forward one by one, and in the end, it was Inoue Ichiro and Shingo Harano who maintained order, so there was no pushing and stampede, after all, they could only interview in the courtyard, and it was impossible to enter the house.
Not to mention that there is a love sauce in the family, if it is revealed that he is underage and lives with another underage girl, this is still a really troublesome thing, and the home is a private place, it is good that Yuan Ye did not collect money from them, and no one has any opinion on being interviewed at the gate of the yard.
But there are a lot of people, and the wilderness Shingo can't resist it, and the long spear and short cannon stabbed straight into his face, if he hadn't withdrawn in time, I'm afraid he would have been poked in the nostrils.
"Everyone, let me go, I'm the editor in charge of Shingo Harano, and I have participated in the distribution of his works from distribution to publication, and some common questions only need to be asked to me!" Inoue Ichiro saw that his situation was a little difficult, so he took the initiative to attract their attention to Shingo Harano, and came forward to speak for him.
First of all, he led this group of people to his own yard, which was also mixed with the aunt of the next door, who should have come to see the excitement, and Yuan Ye Shingo smiled bitterly after seeing it, it seems that it is not only the Chinese people who have the nature to see the excitement.
Facing everyone, Standing in the middle of the crowd, Yuan Ye Shingo pressed his hands twice in the air, and when everyone didn't speak, he said: "I'll be interviewed one by one from left to right, and then after a circle, who has any opinions can be put forward individually, but one person can have one more chance at most, and it is also to not delay everyone's precious time, so please ask some nutritious questions, it's almost time to eat, after all, we're quite disturbing the people here." ”
In this regard, those people naturally did not say a word, in the impression of ordinary people Chinese scholars are very cold, some people do not accept interviews when they win awards, and there are many who do not go out for weeks directly at home, just to prevent these media interviews and other harassment, Harano Shingo is already relatively generous.
Looking at the reporter friends who finally became a little orderly, Shingo Harano wiped the sweat on his forehead, but he didn't expect it to be easy to win the award.
