"The Dream and Death of Writer K"

This is the name of Kyosuke Hojo's new work.

"This time, have you seen through my ruse?"

This is the first sentence of the new work.

"This time, are you satisfied with my ruse?"

This is the second sentence of the opening sentence of the new work.

Reasoning is unquestionable.

As early as the first time when Chairman Kenzo Konno and Tsuyoshi Osaka discussed winning the award with him, they heard that the two social judges felt that his work was not like a social school, but would promote this bad atmosphere of writing the original style by using the skin of the social school, then Hojo Kyosuke said that he would write a standard social school to show his yearning for the social school.

Hojo Kyosuke had no interest in factional disputes in the first place, and he even made a fortune drawing manga, which was quite low compared to the noble "sensei" (teacher) such as mystery writers. This is still in the current era of the increasing influence of comics, and if the time is pushed forward by another twenty or thirty years, if you call yourself a teacher, you will be laughed at.

So he doesn't care what faction he is, just like he said when he first met Ying Lili, he just wants to write light just to make money, and he wants to draw comics too.

In a sense, it is in his best interest for the judges to maintain the status of the award. If the neon prime minister's appointment and dismissal had to be voted on by the mystery writers, he would laugh out his big teeth, and then immediately cut out all the comics and light, and copied all the reasoning in his memory in one go.

Originally, he rushed in headlong for the high social status of a mystery writer, and he belonged to those with vested interests, and it was his duty to maintain the circle.

If he can get the support of the two judges by writing a book of social reasoning, then he must not hesitate to be moved, anyway, he just copied one more book left and right. Those writers are not in this world at all, and what he is doing can probably be regarded as invading another world on behalf of another earth culture? It's quite a rise in the face of the earthlings.

Of course, this has to be a stroke of conscience to hit a home run.

Both Chairman Kenzo Konno and Tsuyoshi Osaka stopped him, saying that it would be considered provocative to do such a thing again.

"Huh? You bastard hairy boy wants to say that the reasoning of the social school is nothing more than that, and you can easily write a copy, are you provoking us, right? Do you still take your predecessors into account? Look for death, right? ”

That's probably it, and Kyosuke Hojo seems to be too. Just like the last time Akasaka Zhuyin came to find himself, wasn't it just a copy of Ying Lili's work to provoke?

Hojo Kyosuke thinks that although he is not a good person of the ninth generation, he is also good to people every day, and he can't do such evil things, so this idea was strangled in the cradle. Honestly waiting for Tsuyoshi Osaka and Chairman Kenzo Konno to help him lobby around, and he was even ready to pay for the lobbying fund.

There is also a reason why he is willing to spend so much energy on this award, first of all, it is naturally money.

Neon is a country of books, and when the world is striding into the Internet age, only he is like an antique, and the newspaper group still holds a decisive influence. This status is naturally not in vain, and the most influential TV stations in Neon are all operated by newspaper groups. In addition to constantly suppressing emerging Internet forces, it is also constantly consolidating its own territory.

Back in the day, serialization was the most powerful tool newspapers used to attract subscriptions. A good book can fully support a newspaper company, and if there is a subscription, some people are willing to advertise, and if there is an advertising fee, they can get a high remuneration, which is a virtuous circle. It's not uncommon for a newspaper to go out of business after it's over.

And how to let readers know that their newspaper serialization is excellent and good-looking? It's simple, just tell them!

"Literary Prize"

The Yomiuri Shimbun Award is an award set by the Yomiuri Shimbun by simply looking at the name. The Daily Art Awards, the awards set by the Daily News. The Edogawa Ranpo Prize, the highest honor for Japanese reasoning, was not founded by a newspaper, but the winning work was published by Kodansha.

Not only that, but the comic book industry is also learning the same. If you want to win a good work, please look for my award, that is, come and buy the newspapers and books I publish.

As soon as everyone saw that you kid was doing this, then I couldn't lag behind, so neon literary awards bloomed everywhere.

Hundreds of literary awards are enough for the literary world to be open all year round, even if readers read a "big award" every day, it will take a year to usher in the next year's awards without interval. I'm afraid there is no other country in the world that has such a shameless management of literary awards as neon, but this has also given birth to such a peculiar phenomenon as the "land of books".

And the Neon Mystery Writers Association Award, which can fight out of so many awards and is faintly famous on the same level as the Edogawa Ranbu Award, naturally has a lot of influence. As long as you win an award, it is not a printing press but a money printing machine that will be used when printing.

Therefore, the publisher even hoped that he would win the award more than Kyosuke Hojo himself, and is now actively helping him liaise.

The second is fame, or social status.

In Neon, people generally refer to the person who can help them as "Mr. (Teacher)" as a sign of respect. Teachers, lawyers, doctors, and writers, for example.

The first three professions are well understood, teachers are able to impart knowledge to students, lawyers are able to save clients from trouble, and doctors are able to treat patients. So how can a writer help? Just to kill someone's time?

No!

People are able to understand the truth of the world, except for the words and deeds of their parents and their own observations, most of the others are learned through books.

One of the main functions is to explain the heterogeneity in people's daily lives. Even if I haven't hired a detective, I know what a detective can do. Even if I haven't killed anyone, I know how horrible it is to kill. Even if I have sinned, I know how miserable my life will be after sinning.

Therefore, the definition of a writer in Neon is to open up the wisdom of the people and improve the quality of the people.

So the writer became an object of respect.

And as a writer, why can't I write as a reasoner as I can?

This is to talk about the originator of the neon social school of reasoning - Matsumoto Kiyohari.

To exaggerate, it was he who single-handedly pushed neon reasoning to the altar.

After the end of the war, Neon was thrown into chaos after being beaten to death. Crazy and unjust wars bring nothing but destruction and poverty.

The front foot also blew up Pearl Harbor in the United States, and the back foot essentially occupied the neon. The people around me are either veterans who have killed people, widows whose husbands have died on the way to kill, or homeless orphans.

Who are the good guys? Who's the bad guy? Why do you have to suffer all this?

Neon this country, the whole society cannot answer this question.

If we can't define even the most basic good or bad, how can society function?

At that time, there were also people who wrote relevant to describe the current situation and to think. But it's not enough, it's either too shallow or it's hard to swallow. Didn't I know I was a bad person? Do I want to see you poke my scars again? I want you to tell me what to do, whether to repent and atone for my sins or to simply commit suicide to apologize.

It was in this situation that Kiyohari Matsumoto appeared.

This is where the word "socialist" comes from, and he uses his works to constantly question his readers all over the country: I have killed people and committed crimes for such reasons, what do you think, what kind of person do you think I am? What kind of punishment do you think I deserve?!

Over the course of thirty years, Kiyohari Matsumoto published 800 books.

In the context of that era, the status of reasoning, social reasoning, was pushed to a high exaggerated position by him.

This is also the reason why social writers can occupy two seats on the selection committee, their ancestors, are really strong.

When Kyosuke Hojo first thought about what books to copy, he had already thought about these things in general. And the reason why "The Devotion of Suspect X" was copied was also carefully considered and investigated.

Well, yes. What the Shimomura editor did now, Kyosuke Hojo also did at that time.

"The Devotion of Suspect X" is irrefutable to the ontological reasoning, and the trickery is quite exquisite. But at the same time, it also accurately aims at the current social problems of neon, the increasing number of homeless people, and the social problems of women.

Is it really right that no one pays attention to the homeless man, even if he is killed casually as a puzzle, and disappears into the world quietly? Do you have to endure this kind of thing because you become a homeless person? Why did you become a homeless person? Why do you still have to wear a suit when you live in a shantytown?

Women's family problems, marital relationships, social status. Why does Yasuko Hanaoka, who is strong enough to raise her daughter alone after the divorce, have to endure the bullying of her ex-husband? Why not ask for help?

She killed someone, does she deserve to die? Who should die if she doesn't deserve to die? His ex-husband? Why didn't anyone stop his ex-husband when he made mistakes again and again? So is it society that is wrong? Or is it this country?!

These are all thoughts that can be seen in this book, so there is no doubt that this book can be classified as a social school.

This is why Kyosuke Hojo is not famous enough now, and if he can line up from Shinjuku to Hokkaido now for a book signing, then tomorrow's morning news should be that the prime minister will take the cabinet to sit down en masse, and swear to pay attention to the issue of homeless people and women immediately. If the homeless people of Tokyo are not allowed to disappear, then they will disappear! If you can't make the domestic violence man disappear, then please come and violence us!

If it can't be solved in half a year and it coincides with the cinematization of Kyosuke Hojo, which is popular all over the world, then the prime minister should get out of it immediately.

If you really want to become the kind of "national teacher" writer who can casually whip the prime minister with a pen, not to mention that Kyosuke Hojo is "just" a little more distracted, even if he says in a TV interview, "I just don't want to give love to one person selfishly", a large number of people will come out to praise his great mind, and no one will say that he is shameless.

When the time comes to visit Miyagizu's house, Kyosuke Hojo will change his submissive painting style, straighten his waist and let Miyasui Toshiki take a good look at who married his daughter!

Therefore, in order to create a happy life, it is imperative that the Neon Mystery Writers Association reward Kyosuke Hojo, which is an important puzzle piece to a better future, no worse than a homeless man!

Fame and fortune, this is the benefit that this award can bring to Kyosuke Hojo, which has encompassed everything in the world except love.

Therefore, earlier Konno Kenzo said that he would help him hold a banquet to invite the two judges, and Kyosuke Hojo was ready to say a few good words. What I was a loyal fan of the social faction when I was a child, and the prenatal education when I was still in my mother's womb was Uncle Matsumoto Kiyoshi Zhang. Anyway, if you say good things and don't need money, after becoming famous, you don't believe these old things and dare to say a word more.

As mentioned earlier, although these people are engaged in factional struggles for their own interests, they are far less noble than they say, but Hojo Kyosuke is happy to see them burning their bodies to illuminate themselves. As a vested interest who has entered the circle, this consciousness still needs to be had.

But now that the situation has changed, he can't be a vested interest anymore!? These old things actually want to exclude themselves? Uncle can endure it, Hojo Kyosuke can endure it, and father-in-law can't bear it!

Since you can't make it a shady scene, just open him up, don't eat it!

"The Dream and Death of Writer K"

Illation.

It's about a boy who likes reasoning since he was a child, and when he grows up, he insists on creating while working overtime, and finally succeeds in writing a book that is favored by the publishing house one day. The shocking news was followed by even greater good news, and the editor told him that the book had great hope of winning the award.

"The most wanted award for neon mystery writers"

Well, that's the name of the award. is not only scolding the Neon Reasoning Writers Association Award, but also scolding other awards, whoever has a weak heart and wants to sit in the right seat will scold whom.

The protagonist is ecstatic, but the editor tells him that he needs to work harder to win the award, which is canvassing and lobbying.

Although the protagonist doesn't know if a book is good or not, if it deserves to win an award, why he needs to do so many superfluous things, he still does it for the sake of his dream.

Judge A is the most open-minded, who gives more money to whom he votes, and the price is clearly marked. Although he gave him his hard-earned royalties and hard-earned money from work, the protagonist liked him the most.

Judge B is the most open-minded, he is a pervert. It's a very ordinary setting, it's either money or sex. While scolding in his heart, the protagonist borrows a large sum of money through the lending company introduced by Judge B and helps Judge B get an annual pass at the luxury club in Ginza.

In the editor's comforting voice of "as long as you win the award, this money will be earned back in minutes", the protagonist went to Judge C's house again.

Thank you for the monthly passes, recommended tickets and tips for your support, thank you.
