Chapter 113: First Sale and Recording

I paid the clerk and bought a copy of my own work, "Listen to the Wind".

In fact, after a while, Inoue Ichiro would give him a specially printed edition for the author.

It's a pity that he can't wait anymore, so he came to buy a copy first.

But Shingo Harano didn't rush home, but ordered another cup of coffee and sat down.

I touched the cover of the book with my hand, and I felt a sense of smoothness, and I have to say that the paper of the genuine book is not bad.

Shingo Harano secretly calculated in his heart that no matter how successful the book was, it would have to wait until the summer if it wanted to win an award.

The Akutagawa Prize is held twice a year.

Works published in the first half of the year, that is, before December 1st ~ May 31st, are selected in mid-July, and awards are presented in mid-August, and are published in the September issue of "Literature and Art Spring and Autumn".

The second half of the year will not be left out for the time being.

"It's a real headache, it looks like it takes time to ferment."

Shingo Harano patted his head and muttered to himself as he looked at the title page of the book.

Except for the Akutagawa Prize and the Naoki Prize, the awards that can be counted are all limited in impact.

Except for the Edogawa Ranpo Award, and the two above, there are really few awards in the island country that can be regarded as national authority.

Ding dong!

The phone on the right side of the coffee cup rang.

Shingo Harano was a little puzzled, could it be that Ai-chan sent a message to go home by herself?

I don't eat fried chicken: [Harano-kun, do you have time? 】

Shingo Harano tugged at his mouth, and he was a little speechless when he saw the screen name of Matsuyuki Spring Water for the first time.

Such a screen name, embarrassed to come up? I sent her a message back.

Let me protect my king: [Senior sister, is there something wrong? 】

Sure enough, my screen name has an elegant style, who doesn't think it's handsome?

I don't eat fried chicken: [I'm going to start recording my first album, because you're a songwriter, so I've discussed with N Records to write your name alone, and you can even come here and hang up your name as a lyricist or composer. However, the remuneration may need to be negotiated, and our president would like to meet you. 】

Writing his own name will not be disgusted by Shingo Harano, after all, people can only remember the general idea when they listen to songs, and the details are more dependent on themselves.

N Records, he has heard of it, is a very powerful record in the island country, and is one of the three giants of the island country's music circle. I didn't expect Koichiro Matsuyuki to be such a big card as soon as he made a move, and he was directly sent to the omni-channel packaging of a large company.

Is this the real bigwig's trick? So many resources can be mobilized at your fingertips.

I have to sigh again about the methods of the big guys, and Shingo Harano is even more determined in his ideals.

I'll protect my king: [I'll go to the recording, but if you name it, I'll visit with my senior sister after a while.] 】

A trace of shame flashed on Songxue Spring Water's delicate and fair face, and it turned a little red from excitement.

What a fool, don't you care about the opportunity to get paid and meet big people?

Because in fact, her purpose is to let Harano Shingo earn more money, after all, she also knows that Harano Shingo is the only one left in the family, so whether it is for the kindness of this song or something else, Matsuyuki Spring feels that she needs to help him, but she didn't expect Harano Shingo to be so unappreciative.

In fact, Shigo Harano also had a faint guess, but he had enough things to do, and he really didn't have the energy to be distracted by music, and the sudden piano competition also gave him a lot of pressure, after all, he had already boasted about Haikou in front of Kenichi Ito, and if he couldn't do it, it would be really embarrassing.

Although some of them were angry about the original field, Songxue Spring Water was not good at pursuing him again, so he had to reluctantly type and reply.

I don't eat fried chicken: [Okay, I know what Yuanye-kun means, if it's okay, I'll go to practice singing first.] 】

Looking at the messages replied on his phone, Shingo Harano thought of the headache he had last time because he didn't have time to study, and hurriedly typed.

Let me protect my king: [Senior sister, I have one thing to ask for. 】

I don't eat fried chicken: [What's the difficulty?] If so, maybe I can help. 】

Let me protect my king: [It's not a big deal, I just want to ask if our school has a guaranteed place for the University of Tokyo?] 】

I don't eat fried chicken: [Well, there are 1~2 places every year, are you interested in this place? 】

Shingo Harano was a little hesitant, not knowing whether he should show his longing, after all, it was a bit of a gratitude to say this.

But in the end, he still didn't plan to be hypocritical, after all, his current energy really didn't allow him to study anymore.

After all, he is going to write a tradition, and then he has to practice the piano hard, not to mention that he has a girlfriend at home

Learn?

Ahem, it's good to study, but I have no fate

[Yes, don't know if there are any specific requirements?] 】

[Well, if you ask for specifics, the deviation value is super high or it has a certain contribution to the school.] 】

Shigo Harano automatically ignored the sentence that the deviation value was super high, he was originally studying hard, and he was already in the top ten of the grade, not to mention that he was not going to study anymore

He has always had a question in his heart, that is, why should the guaranteed places be reserved for students who study well?

The studies are so good, you can definitely pass the exam, so why waste a guaranteed place?

Isn't it nice to leave it to a student who is excellent in character and academics but whose grades are a little worse?

Just like me

After thinking silently in my heart for a while, I found that it was all useless, so let's face reality.

[Well, can the senior sister be more specific, for example, can you get this place for winning a literary award? ] 】

[Literary awards? If it's a light award, it may not be good.,Unless it's a university book award.、Tachikawa Literature Award.,If you can only nominate it.,The school application will basically be approved.。 】

After hearing Matsuyuki Izumi's answer, Shingo Harano breathed a sigh of relief, as she said, these two awards are more influential awards in Tokyo, but they are much worse than the Akutagawa Award and the Naoki Award.

If you just want to nominate it, then it is still very possible, after all, even if the work "Let's Listen to the Wind" does not win the Akutagawa Award, he is still very confident in other awards.

I couldn't help but feel a little motivated, and happily replied to Songxue Spring Water.

[I understand, thank you sister for your doubts.] 】

[Actually, if you want, I can]

[No, I know what you mean, but I still want to rely on my own strength. 】

Shingo Harano plans to cast a wide net and catch more fish, but if one "Listen to the Wind" can't work, there will be two or three copies, and there will always be one that will be successful.

Relying on a girl to get this place, if someone else knows, she can't laugh at herself for eating soft rice.

Besides, what does he want to succeed on?

Isn't it just your own talent and hard work?

Relying on a girl to get this place, if someone else knows, she can't laugh at herself for eating soft rice.

Well

Panel, progress bar for me to hurry up!
