333 He is a mystery novelist, and he really has never killed anyone
After saying that, please come in, and the moment he saw the figure pushing the door in, Shimomura Tetsu subconsciously covered his head and hid away from the door.
This strange move made Kyosuke Hojo stunned, and the person who walked in was Akamatsu Yuki, the editor in charge of him. The department and "Weekly Shonen High" are both under the same banner of the British Collection Society, and they share the same office building, and he had already informed the other party before he came, but the editor of the meeting Akamatsu was running errands outside, so he rushed back.
"Don't hide, in front of Hojo-sensei, I can't do anything with you again."
Akamatsu glanced at Tetsuya Shimomura and said in an unkind tone.
"Do it?" Kyosuke Hojo wondered.
"This guy made such a big mistake, I can't wait to cut off his head!" Akamatsu said.
"It's a death threat! I'll report back to the higher-ups! ”
It's okay that the editor of Shimomura didn't speak, but as soon as he opened his mouth, Akamatsu on the other side couldn't control his emotions.
"Okay, I just wanted to have a good chat with you in front of the head of the Sanchiyo."
The work in charge of his subordinates has the possibility of winning such a grand prize.,Akamatsu is more concerned than anyone else.,Even just now he was running around outside for this thing.,If it weren't for his normal head.,He really wanted to kill Tetsuya Shimomura.。
Whether you spend the winter at home smelling kerosene or going to Atami to enjoy the hot springs as a family depends on whether Hojo-sensei can win the award! When his well-behaved little daughter heard that she could go on vacation to Atami, she said to herself for several days in a row, welcome home to her father.
"You should really tell Hojo-sensei's loyal friends about this, so that they can come and talk to you. Oh, I remember Shimomura your son was one of them too, right? If Masao knew about this, I don't know if he would be disappointed in you, the father? ”
Akamatsu has attacked one after another, and he is really angry. Hojo Kyosuke's failure to win the award had a far less impact on Tetsuya Shimomura than on him, and the other party at most gave up borrowing Hojo's teacher's fame in the reasoning world, and he still ate and drank spicy food in the manga industry. But what about yourself! Investing so many resources in the early stage to win the award, not to mention the waste, will also affect the marketing later.
"Bastard, anyway, Hojo-sensei was also introduced to you by me, is this how you treat your benefactor!"
Tetsuya Shimomura shouted angrily that if he let his son know about this, he might have to ride his motorcycle into his bedroom tonight and hit the accelerator.
"The past is like smoke, and you can't be stopped by momentary success, as an editor, you don't know it, right? In the past, I was grateful that you introduced Hojo-sensei to me, but now I am only thinking about Hojo-sensei! ”
"Ungrateful ......"
"Why was your bonus so generous at the last annual meeting, you won't ......"
“……”
Kyosuke Hojo sat on the sidelines and listened to the two arguing, slowly understanding what was going on. His own editor was angry and wanted to knife the other party because of the moth made by the comic editor, and at the same time, he may be mixed with envy and jealousy of the other party's year-end bonus. thinks that the other party is adding to their year-end bonus.
This kind of scene of editors quarreling is not common, the two are still former friends, so they know each other's black material very well, from family conflicts and scolding to the good works that used to be seen and let go, and then to the rain to help the writer find a cat in order to urge the manuscript when he was a small editor, it sounds funny and sad.
Looking at the excitement, Kyosuke Hojo noticed that something was wrong, why did these two people sneak a peek at themselves from time to time?
"Persuade me......"
"Why don't you persuade you?"
"Isn't the scolding not harsh enough?"
"That's enough, I've just sat down."
"I don't understand what you're talking about."
“……”
The above is what Kyosuke Hojo, who is at the tenth level of micro-expressions, interpreted from the strange expressions of the two.
He finally understood, good guy, these two people have been friends for many years, are they singing a double reed to show themselves?
After thinking about it for a while, he also understood that Akamatsu had a mind, and the matter of rushing for the award was originally the main force of the editor and the publishing house, and the author cooperated, and some publishing houses would also hint that as long as they jumped over, they could guarantee to win any award. Like the comics, "Weekly Shonen High" gave itself all the awards it could get.
As a result, there is a mess on the publisher's side, and the editor is worried that he will pat his ass and leave in a fit of anger, and go to a more powerful publishing house. That's why I'm acting here, and I want to show myself how much he cares about his work.
After figuring it out, Kyosuke Hojo leaned back on the sofa relaxed, and watched the two editors frantically exchange glances and scold each other, and he had an excellent memory and could already hear that the attacks of the two were repeated, and the play should not be able to continue.
After a while, the two of them finally stopped, and Akamatsu glanced at Kyosuke Hojo on the other side, trying to see something on the smiling face, but found nothing.
Turning his head and glancing at his friend Shimomura.
"He saw that?"
"Possibly."
"What does it mean to be possible?"
"He's a genius!"
"Bastard red deer, isn't it the bitter love scene you proposed!"
“……”
Knock ——!
"Private Marseille, Hojo-sensei, it's a mistake on my side."
Akamatsu slammed the coffee table, and the intensity was much stronger than Tetsuya Shimomura, which is no wonder, one is the chief editor who is already perfect, and the other is still an editor, and the performance is still a bit excessive.
"Let's take a look at this first."
Kyosuke Hojo didn't say anything, just took out a stack of manuscripts from his briefcase, and officially "The Dream and Death of Writer K". Any apology is false, and if the new book wants to achieve the influence it wants, it also needs the help of Akamatsu editors and publishers.
"What is this?" Both editors were stunned.
"My new work,."
Kyosuke Hojo smiled:
"Reasoning."
"When did you become so productive?"
"Are you irritated in your head?"
Both editors felt incredible, the former Shimomura had just received the manga handed over by Kyosuke Hojo and was shocked that he didn't delay the manuscript this time, and the latter Akamatsu didn't expect that his own Maxima not only didn't run away, but also came up with a new work.
"Don't talk nonsense, don't watch me go." Kyosuke Hojo's face darkened.
"Take a look!"
Heads come together, and the two editors look at it together.
Because what they do is review work, both of them read very quickly, and they read all of them in less than a while.
After the two looked at each other, they both saw the shock in each other's eyes.
"You did this this morning, too?" This is Tetsuya Shimomura, who was shocked by the talent of Kyosuke Hojo at seeing the timestamp.
"Do you want to publish it before the Reasoning Society Awards?" This is Akamatsu Yuki, who was shocked by the strong and domineering behavior of Hojo Kyosuke.
"Well, if there are no problems, please be sure to complete the publication within a week, and I will fully cooperate."
Kyosuke Hojo directly ignored Shimomura's look at Akamatsu Yuki, and he was very happy with the cleverness of his editor.
"Have you really figured it out? Once you do this, there's absolutely no going back? In the future, your work will be studied under a microscope by them, and if you show a flaw, you will be surrounded and bitten by hyenas. Akamatsu said in a complicated tone.
"I've already asked two teachers, Toyoya Kurokawa and Hiroki Naganuma, to read this book."
Kyosuke Hojo didn't answer, but talked about things that didn't seem to be related.
"What!? Have you already shown it to those two judges? What do they say? Akamatsu was startled.
"I don't know yet, I plan to wait until I've talked to you before I visit the two teachers, and I think the result will be satisfactory to everyone."
The smile on Kyosuke Hojo's face was still kind, and as much as he believed in his own strength, he had no doubts about Shisaki's ability to do things.
"I see...... I'm going to go to the head of Michiyo right now, and I won't let Hojo-sensei's hard work go to waste! ”
Akamatsu put his hands on his knees and solemnly bowed his head in promise. This kind of urgent matter naturally requires high-level support to be done. He and Tetsuya Shimomura said that the three thousand generations are the backers of the two in the publishing house, and they graduated from the same school.
"Then, when should the manga start serialization......" Tetsuya Shimomura said hesitantly.
Judging by Kyosuke Hojo's style, if you want to show his tough attitude, it is best to show his tough attitude before the association presents the award, but ......
"After I win the award, of course!" Kyosuke Hojo said as a matter of course.
"Hey...... Then you're welcome. Tetsuya Shimomura laughed dryly, and the sales strategy in his heart was adjusted again.
He didn't say anything at the moment what to do if Hojo Kyosuke didn't win the award, in fact, he secretly poked in his heart and hoped that he wouldn't win, if this happens, when the time comes to add the book "The Dream and Death of Writer K", the popularity of the name Hojo Kyosuke is probably even higher than the award!
"But Hojo, you'd better discuss it with the president of the association in advance, he's always been very supportive." Akamatsu reminded him.
"Well, I've already told him, but Chairman Konno is very supportive and offers to help me write a recommendation."
How could Hojo Kyosuke not take into account this kind of thing, although it has been "appropriately" modified, but as long as literate people know that he is scolding the Reasoning Writers Association, this is tantamount to roasting the association on the fire, just like scolding the prime minister, the masses may not know who the specific judges are for a while, but it is definitely right to scold the president of the association.
So he had already called Kenzo Konno in the morning to tell him his plans, and after finishing the draft, he also showed it to the other party, and Kenzo Konno was also very reasonable to say that he had done a good job, and he had long wanted to rectify some unhealthy tendencies in the association, and Kyosuke Hojo had helped him make up his mind.
The elder speaks well to Kyosuke Hojo, who breathes a sigh of relief if the other party doesn't agree...... Apologize sincerely, and then act as planned.
"I see...... Is it on the side of justice? Akamatsu nodded abruptly, Hojo Kyosuke's strength can be understood by almost anyone who has been in contact with him, it is impossible to stop it, and the chairman of the Konno has made the right choice.
Poor Kurokawa Toyoya, the plan he envisioned to jump from a villain to an anti-justice messenger has long been adopted, and all he can do is obediently move forward in the future that Kyosuke Hojo has planned for him.
The three of them discussed various matters such as the promotion and publication of Shinwa comics, and then broke up, and they all had a lot of things to do.
Tetsuya Shimomura went to fight for the section of "Detective Conan", a good plate depends on grabbing, but it also has to pay attention to time and skills, even if it is a well-known writer, it will be scolded for directly robbing other people's plates. The culture of the predecessors and seniors not only oppresses the younger generations, but also restricts the predecessors. Generally, in the club, if the leader invites you to eat together, you only need to drink obediently, and the meal fee will be paid by the seniors. In the comic industry, although it has been a practice for thousands of years to squeeze assistants and apprentices, it is also necessary to prevent the fragmentation of assistants after they become famous, even if they don't directly scold in the newspaper, they will be more or less yin and yang.
Akamatsu has a heavy job, and it will be published within a week, not to mention printing, and the problem of distribution is also very tricky. Fortunately, Kyosuke Hojo is not an unknown junior, as long as his name is reported, bookstores will buy it, and if it is replaced by ordinary young authors, he has to work hard to hold a promotion meeting to convince booksellers and bookstore owners that his book will definitely sell.
And Kyosuke Hojo is a lot more comfortable, the troublesome things have been basically solved, and he will go to accept the results.
Bang –
The big black umbrella was opened, and the black oil-paper umbrella blocked the rain, and Kyosuke Hojo walked towards the car parked on the side of the road, followed by his subordinates who were also holding black umbrellas.
Walking to the side of the road, Kyosuke Hojo looked back at the earthy yellow office building of the Eiji Society, and sure enough, he smiled and waved goodbye when he saw the two editors still standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows of the meeting room.
When the two upstairs hurriedly waved their hands, their mouths did not stop.
"If you really don't win the prize, which mountain do you want to be buried on?"
"Why do I have to think about such a thing...... How about Mt. Ibuki? You can see Lake Biwa, I've been there once, and the scenery is outstanding. ”
"I like the night view of Mt. Hakodate, which is one of the top three night views in the world."
"It's too far, if you are so dissatisfied, you will sink directly into Tokyo Bay."
"Yes...... Then let's try to do things well, reclamation is better for Mr. Kurokawa Toyoya to come, and the aura on their bodies will also make the scenery better. ”
While speaking, both of them were looking at the street in front of the office building, where the headquarters of Eijisha is located in the bustling area of Chiyoda Ward, and there are many pedestrians even on rainy days.
And among the pedestrians, among the bustling transparent plastic umbrellas, the two huge black umbrellas are so eye-catching.
They really doubt that Hojo-sensei's new book "The Dream and Death of Writer K" is written about his fantasy as a writer or his abandoned murder plan.
Obviously they were indoors, but the coldness of the spring rain seemed to have crossed over to the two of them, and they were shuddering.
"Akamatsu-kun, reluctantly!"
"Reluctantly!"
Work hard for Hojo-sensei!
