The news that "White Night Walking" won the Naoki Prize and the Akutagawa Prize was not won was the first day to make the front page of major newspapers.

This year's award ceremony was full of topics, starting with the Akutagawa Prize's empty wheel, which was the only time since the Akutagawa Prize was founded in 1935 that no one won the award, and it was also a history start.

On the Internet, there are mixed opinions about the judges' practice of not awarding awards, some people feel that the quality of this year's shortlisted works is indeed not high, and it is natural not to award awards, which really upholds the sanctity of the Akutagawa Award; But some people feel that this is irresponsible to writers and readers.

Due to the failure of the Akutagawa Prize, Kei Fujiwara became the only recipient of the award at the New Kiroro Hotel that night, and everyone's eyes were focused on him alone.

Kei Fujiwara's photographs from various angles made the front pages of major literary magazines and newspapers, and he was both the youngest recipient of the Naoki Prize and a new author, and he quickly gained a huge amount of attention.

Readers are much more interested in the young writer than they have ever been, and if Kei Fujiwara had been a 35-year-old author who had been shortlisted multiple times, he would never have gained the attention he has now.

The interest of the audience is always the interest of the media, so major media reporters began to compete with Kei Fujiwara, among whom Fukuyamadai is close to the water, after learning that Keita Sima is an employee of Fukuyamatai's production company. The people from the Ministry of Information went straight to Mizumi Productions to shoot a 40-minute documentary for Kei Fujiwara.

The name of the documentary is "The Creative Life of a Genius Newcomer", and it received the highest 20% rating on the day of broadcasting, which is quite good in a documentary.

The newspapers of the newspaper group that has a stake in Fukuyamatai also rushed to interview Kei Fujiwara, and over the course of a week, Kei Fujiwara accepted countless interviews with various media, newspapers, and periodicals.

In desperation, Fujiwara Kei had to ask Yui Mizuhara to help him block it, and he usually rushed into the studio of Fukuyamadai and couldn't come out, and reporters from other media couldn't break in directly, so he had to look at the tower and sigh.

The sales of "White Night Walking" also increased by leaps and bounds under the stimulation of Naoki Reward, and the sales line was like a straight spear, constantly stabbing upward, and soon, in February, it reached a terrifying 800,000 copies, and it did not show any decline.

"White Night Walking" has been continuously reprinted, and the new version of the novel has many more titles on the waist cover - [Naoki Award Winning Works], [The Youngest Awardee in History], [Mika Miyano's Praise of Genius], [The Strongest Literary Rising Star]......

At the forum, there was also a lot of discussion about Kei Fujiwara, and many people also picked up his other identity besides the fiction writer, the chief planner of "Anthropological Observations".

"Is "Human Observation" also the brainchild of Mr. Sima Guitai? I watched it every Monday night in front of the TV. ”

"He deserves to be the strongest newcomer...... Both the broadcasting and literary circles have made achievements. ”

"Is he a graduate of Tokyo University of Literature and Arts? That's my senior. ”

"Is a literary genius actually doing variety shows? Will Fukuyamadai employ people? Why don't you let him be the main creative screenwriter?! ”

"I very much agree with what I said upstairs, if Mr. Sima becomes a screenwriter to produce a TV series, I will definitely support it."

Nanako Tokada browsed the news on the forum and also posted comments on the Internet in support of Keita Sima sensei.

At the same time, in a hotel in Minato-ku, Tokyo, a frighteningly cold face is staring at a computer screen.

Shinya Matsushita scrolled the mouse, looked at the praise of "White Night Walking" on the forum, and kept pinching the cigarette butts into the ashtray.

He has recently been working on a new play, and he lives in a hotel with a group of disciples, mainly acting as an overseer. On the night of the Naoki and Akutagawa Award ceremonies, he sat in front of the TV and watched the live broadcast. As a member of the cultural community, he is naturally very concerned, and watches TV while knocking pine nuts.

However, when he saw Keina Fujiwara's face appear in the camera, he thought he was dizzy from old eyes. By the time Kei Fujiwara took the stage to accept the award, he almost choked to death by a pine nut that slipped into his trachea.

"White Night Walking" was written by this guy? This little imp with no one in his eyes actually won the Naoki reward?

Matsushita was not able to accept it for a while, but the next day the front pages of major newspapers emphasized to him the sad news.

And what made him feel even more uncomfortable was that gossip began to spread within the high-tech company, many people in the company had seen Fujiwara Kei before, and they also knew that Fujiwara Kei scolded Matsushita Shinya and then resigned angrily.

No one was talking about this matter in the first place, but with the announcement of the Naoki Award results and the true identity of Sima Keita, some of the original rumors became loud again, and even more demonized.

"Do you know, originally Sima Guitai ...... The author who won the Naoki Award was originally from our company, and he worked in Mr. Kobayashi's group. ”

"Huh? Is that so? I haven't seen him. ”

"He resigned before you came, and I heard that he had a conflict with Mr. Matsushita......"

"What contradiction?"

“…… Don't tell anyone that I heard that Mr. Matsushita wanted to steal his work......"

……

"Hey, I'll tell you something, I just found out. I heard that Sima Keita was originally a highly skilled employee and wrote "White Night Walking" during his tenure, but Mr. Matsushita wanted to keep this work for himself, so he resigned in anger. ”

……

Kei Fujiwara is like a butterfly, and after coming to this time and space, he quietly changed the trajectory of many people's lives.

However, he didn't know it himself, and just flapped his wings on his own.

The entry of a pen of manuscript fees has made Kei Fujiwara's life much more nourishing now, but he still maintains restraint in his daily consumption behavior.

Resolutely overcoming the nouveau riche mentality and all kinds of conspicuous consumption behaviors after being extremely rich and rich, I usually don't choose luxury brands when I wear them, and the cars I buy are cheap Nissan. He is now recognized as the No. 1 nouveau riche in Fukuyamadai, and now that the economy is not good and the crime rate is surging, it is better to keep a low profile in his daily life.

He came to the parking lot, and just took out the car keys from his pocket, when suddenly a figure came from the shadows, Fujiwara Kei was startled, and subconsciously put the tip of the key between his fingers and used it as a weapon.

No, what are you afraid of? There have been a lot of robberies on the news recently......

However, the person who came was a middle-aged man in business clothes, not very tall, and immediately stood still after trotting in front of Kei Fujiwara.

"Teacher Sima Guitai, excuse me, can I delay you a little time?"

Fujiwara Kei took a step back and looked him up and down: "You are ......"

The man took out his business card from his pocket and handed it to Kei Fujiwara: "Congratulations on winning the Naoki Award, you deserve it...... I'm from the HR department of Fanxing TV and would like to talk to you. ”

Kei Fujiwara turned out to be a business card, and when he looked down, he turned out to be a deputy chief.
