After nearly a year in this world, Keiya Fujiwara has finally made some achievements.

Although he still hasn't made any special name in the broadcasting world, he is not a nobody, and he belongs to the crab generals of the shrimp soldiers and crab generals.

The main achievement of the year was in the world of publishing. The publication of "White Night Walking" brought him huge profits, and the royalties that came in just a few months were already the wages of many salarymen for several years. And that's just the beginning.

On New Year's Day, Kei Fujiwara received several gifts, including from the TV station, the Spring and Autumn Society, and a personal gift from Yui Mizuhara: a fountain pen.

Seeing this fountain pen, Kei Fujiwara suddenly thought of something, so he spent money on a computer and printer the next day and installed them in his newly rented apartment.

What age, who still writes with a pen.

However, this pen is suitable for signing at a book signing or something, and thinking of this, Fujiwara Kei put the pen in his bag.

The results of the Naoki Award were announced in mid-January, and there is still about a week to go.

Media speculation about Naoki was also more frequent, and all five of these works were masterpieces and sold well. Among them, "The Warm Sun of the Winter Girl" may be a little worse in terms of sales, only about 100,000 copies.

But this is a women's novel, and if this novel wins the award, it fills the gap of women's works in the previous award-winning works of the Naoki Awards. So the chances of winning this book are also very good.

It's nice to get the Naoki Award, but it's a shame not to win. Kei Fujiwara is a meritologist, and in his opinion, the greatest value of winning an award is to be able to sell more, and other than that, there is no use.

The parallel world's "White Night Walking" was sunk in the sand of Naoki, but it can still sell well all over the world.

What's more, you can't get the Naoki Award and the Ranbu Award, although the Naoki Award is the highest award for popular literature, but Fujiwara Kei prefers to win the Ranbu Award for the ...... This award is more auspicious.

Many well-known awards have a curse, for example, the famous Oscars have an Oscar curse, and the actors who win the Oscars will not be able to produce good works for a long time after winning the award, and may even have bankruptcy, divorce, cheating and other major failures in life.

Unfortunately, Naoki also has a Naoki spell, and it's been going on for seven or eight years.

It seems that the authors who have won the award in the past seven or eight years have not been able to write best-selling novels after winning the awards......

On January 15th, Kei Fujiwara, Kazuhiko Itagaki and others arrived at the New Kiroro Hotel, where Naoki Shoki was held.

The place has been chartered by the organizers, and Kei Fujiwara and Kazuhiko Itagaki walked to the door, identified themselves to the security guards, and entered.

The hotel was crowded, mostly media reporters and people from the publishing industry, and the ten judges were being interviewed at the moment.

The Akutagawa Prize and the Naoki Prize are announced at the same time, and the Akutagawa Prize is a pure literary award, and this type of work has a high reading threshold, so it is not much noticed by the public, but it still has a high status.

Fujiwara Kei walked to the writer's sitting area, and next to him was Watanabe Chi Ma, who was in his Chinese New Year's Eve, gentle and elegant, and had a very literati temperament, and took the initiative to stand up after seeing Fujiwara Kei.

"Teacher Sima, you're here."

"Good evening, Watanabe-sensei." Fujiwara Kei returned the salute, his eyes swept to Shimada Kind who was sitting next to him, Shimada Kind looked at Fujiwara Kei, his face was a little pale, he barely smiled, and then quickly lowered his head.

"I've watched "White Night Walking", and it's really a very good work." Watanabe Chi said, "I was really shocked when I knew your age, and if you really young people are always the main force in this world!" ”

In fact, Watanabe Chi Shin is also a young writer, but compared to Keiichi Fujiwara, he seems older.

"'Aurora Killing' inspired me a lot, it's a very good work."

The two have been greeting each other, and after becoming professional writers, it is also very important to make contacts.

Kazuhiko Itagaki sat next to Kei Fujiwara, interjecting from time to time. And Shimada sat on the side and didn't dare to say a word, Fujiwara Kei had a conflict with him.

This time, "Aurora Murder 2" was released in advance, which was originally intended to be used to snipe "White Night Walking", but I didn't expect that not only did it fail to affect the sales of "White Night Walking", but I was discounted by the other party.

So now he is in a very awkward situation, not only is the gap with Fujiwara Kei even greater, but Watanabe Chi Zhen is now a little dissatisfied with him, thinking that he has made a wrong decision, and it is estimated that the editor in charge will be replaced in the next work.

The three most profitable authors of the Spring and Autumn Society, he offended the two in one go, and Shimada sometimes really wanted to find a traffic light and crash to death.

"Teacher Sima, hello, we are reporters from Fushan Terrace, can we interview you with a few questions?" Suddenly, a young reporter came over, and he was not allowed to enter the author's area, so he had to stand outside and shout by the neck.

Fujiwara Kei glanced back, stood up, and said to Kazuhiko Itagaki, "Mr. Itagaki, I'll go first." ”

"Well, but if I'm asking you something that's too sensitive, like something politically related, it's best not to answer it."

Kazuhiko Itagaki reminded that the people in the broadcasting world are troubled here. These journalists always like to ask the writer sensitive questions, wishing that one of the episodes in their work was alluding to the government or even the cabinet. Kei Fujiwara writes about the social faction, and it has had a great repercussion in society recently, and he is afraid that these reporters will ask if there is something that is not.

"Okay, I got it. These are your own family, don't worry. ”

Kei Fujiwara smiled and patted him on the back, walked up to the reporter, and as soon as he appeared, a large number of microphones poked over and stood in front of him one by one.

"Teacher Sima, may I ask what you want to express when you write such a work?"

"Teacher Sima, do you think the current law is sufficient to protect children?"

"Teacher Sima, do you think the tragedy of the White Night Walk will happen in reality?"

"Is there anything you would like to say to the reader?"

"Why did you choose the social genre to write? Before you, there was hardly a social mystery book that could sell well, so where did your confidence come from? ”

"Mr. Sima, who do you think is most likely to win the Naoki Award among the five shortlisted works this time?"

"Since you can be shortlisted, presumably the strength is among the best, and who can be rewarded depends on the choice of the judges." Kei Fujiwara replied with a smile, "Everyone knows that I am a newcomer, and for me, it is already a great compliment to be shortlisted, and whether or not I can be rewarded in the end, I am very satisfied." ”

"As for why you chose the Socialists...... In fact, before I started writing, I didn't think much about genres, I just wanted to write a good story. As for the reader's willingness to distinguish between them after they have been written, that is the reader's freedom. ”

More and more reporters are asking questions, and some of them are too difficult to handle, so they almost ask you if you are dissatisfied with today's society. Just when Kei Fujiwara felt tired of coping, someone shouted "Kyogoku Haruhi is here" out of nowhere, and the crowd suddenly dispersed.

Kei Fujiwara took the opportunity to run away, and not far away, book reviewer Shinichi Chiba was also being interviewed.

"If I were a judge, my vote would have to be 'White Night Walking'." Chiba Shinichi said to the camera, "Whether it is literary heritage, writing skills, plot tension, emotional expression, or even subject innovation." "White Night Walking" is undoubtedly the strongest of the five works, and it is a unique masterpiece in recent years. ”

"So do you think the most likely thing to win the Naoki Award this time is "White Night Walking"?"

Chiba Shinichi shook his head: "To be honest, it's not. The author of "White Night Walking" is a true newcomer, and Naoki is not a newcomer after all, and the other finalists have been nominated to a greater or lesser extent, and I think Naoki will give priority to others. Unless the judges of this Naoki Award are bold enough, they will award this award, which represents the highest honor of popular literature, to a newcomer. ”
