395 Protest marches
There is no sight more spectacular than a fire.
With the help of many enthusiastic people, the fire lit by Kyosuke Hojo became more and more popular, and according to statistics, the sales of "Asahi Shimbun" increased by 500,000 copies, and the same was true for "Sanji Shimbun".
Even the newspapers that were just arguing about the works had soared in sales, and they were naturally very popular, and the publishing house on the side of the British Collection Agency handed over a contract again to print an additional 500,000 copies.
The next day, after reading it, fans of the book who believed that Kyosuke Hojo had suffered injustice at the Mystery Writers Association finally marched in protest, and the crowd gathered in Bunkyo Ward, and the members of the Runaway Angels, who had a wealth of experience in opportunities, showed extraordinary discipline and surprised the relevant department personnel who came to assist in the march.
In this regard, the members of the special attack department unanimously explained to the outside world: In order to better support Hojo Sensei, we usually train ourselves strictly.
In this regard, the reaction of ordinary book fans is: It is really worthy of Hojo-sensei, even the quality of fans is so high.
The two sides got along very happily, and agreed that they would come out to parade more when they were free in the future.
The roads of the parade were all planned in advance, and along the way, Shisaki Tetsuta was prepared with adequate support, food supplies, doctors' ambulances, banners, and uniform clothing......
Of course, although the protesters are almost all related to Hojo Kyosuke, but of course the theme of the protest can't be "My brother has been treated unfairly", if you really play such a banner, it is not to help Hojo Kyyosuke increase traffic but to harm him, only a brother with a really bad head will do this, Hojo Kyosuke did not master the justice cutting stunt, so he has to take care of the fans better.
With "The Dream and Death of Writer K", the banner they put up is to make the award transparent and open, so that every author has the right to win the award, and not operate in the dark.
Not to mention that this trick is very good, among the writers who failed to win awards in the past, there are many people who can't afford to give money and hold a grudge. Some of them directly donated money and materials to express their support, while some expressed their concern on social platforms such as Twitter, talking about what happened when they were candidates, and secretly saying that they were also victims.
TV Asahi, as the only designated partner, occupied the best camera and followed the report all the way.
Halfway through, it seemed that the team organized by Motohiro Matsumoto seemed to want to stop the parade, but it was cleared out of the venue without even a ripple, which made the faces of the people of "Sanji Shimbun" very ugly, and they thought to themselves, didn't they say that they would sing together, and now they are eating alone?
The procession came to the Neon Mystery Writers Association without any disturbance, and here the procession doubled, and this was because of the weekdays, otherwise there would be more people joining in the fun.
Unfortunately, the people who are working in the association today are none other than Toyoya Kurokawa and Hiroki Naganuma, the two judges of the social faction.
Listening to the protest outside the window, Kurokawa Toyoya's face was extremely ugly, and when he looked up, he saw that Hiroki Naganuma on the other side was no better than himself, and his face was already sagging because of age, black and blue, like a demon.
"What should I do?" He asked.
"What did the president say?" Naganuma asked.
"Said he would come back as soon as possible."
"Heh, when we lose face and come back to collect the fruits of victory?" Naganuma sneered.
Hearing this, Kurokawa Fengya became even more irritable, and scolded directly:
"What the hell is that bastard trying to do with Kyosuke Hojo! I said that I would definitely vote for him, and I didn't follow him if I wanted to send a book, and now I have to march to protest, do we really have to force us to die before we are willing? ”
Hiroki Naganuma's eyes were resentful, but he was smart and didn't speak, he wasn't Kurokawa's stupid pig, he dared to say such a thing after experiencing the last intimidation, did he really have to wait for someone to stick a knife in the head of the bed to know if he was afraid?
Knock knock – there was a knock on the door.
Toyoya Kurokawa immediately shut up and looked at the door.
"Director Kurokawa, Director Naganuma, the protesters said that if they don't see the person in charge again, they will storm the association, and the people who conquered there also asked our person in charge to go out immediately to pacify the crowd."
The little secretary at the door looked panicked, he really saw the hell, he didn't expect that a literary association would be affected one day. She doesn't have any experience, what will happen to her when those people rush in? It seems that the works of the teachers in the association have written that in the chaos, even the teacup will not be complete.
Thinking of this, the little secretary added:
"The people in the association are very scared, and some people have already run to the opposite side to join the protest team, asking the two directors to make a decision quickly."
“……”
Hiroki Naganuma raised his head, and the blue-black old face made the little secretary's face pale with fright.
Quickly closing the door, the little secretary walked briskly down the stairs, ignoring the inquiries of his colleagues and conquerors, and went straight out of the door of the association, walked into the protest line opposite, took a flag with fairness written on it, and began to shout "bullshit association".
"Let's go......" Kurokawa Toyoya sighed, flicked his pants, and was ready to sit down.
Hiroki Naganuma didn't say anything, and stood up on his knees.
The two went downstairs and stood in front of the protest crowd under the protection of the people involved (members of the Rampage Angels).
"I ......" Toyoya Kurokawa was about to say something, but was interrupted by the person opposite.
"May I ask Director Kurokawa, what are the criteria for the association's awards? Is it just your personal preference? Or does it depend on the sincerity of the writer? ”
Tetsuta Shisaki interrupted directly, and without his nod, the microphone in front of Toyoya Kurokawa would not be energized. As he spoke, he opened a huge poster, which listed in detail the works of the Reasoning Association in recent years, as well as several other major literary awards, and it could be seen that several lists did not coincide.
“…… In other words, the works you have selected are not at all favored by other awards, including the Honya Grand Prix. Is it because the public's vision is very poor? Or have your eyes never fallen to the ground......"
After watching countless speech videos, Sasaki's skills are amazing, and every sentence is extremely inflammatory. If it weren't for the wrong occasion, the people who ran away with the angels would have wanted to shout about the board.
Toyoya Kurokawa, who was rated as a stupid pig by Hiroki Naganuma on the other side, didn't know that it was so many people present who gave him courage, thinking that Samisaki didn't dare to hurt him on such an occasion, or healed the scar and forgot the pain, raised the microphone and began to speak, but unfortunately the microphone didn't make a sound at all, so angry that he slapped the microphone again and again. Then he shouted at the top of his voice, but how could he be worthy of Tetsuta Misaki, who had a stereo?
Hiroki Naganuma shook his head, utterly disappointed in his allies.
This guy is an idiot. Thinking so, he lowered his head with guilt and made up his mind in his heart.
After the conversation microphone was energized, he directly splashed the dirty water on Kenzo Konno, saying that he couldn't decide who to vote for, and he wanted to die together, don't want to step on his own position!
The reporters on the TV station next to him were all excited, and the camera couldn't wait to slap Tesaki in the face.
That's too good to say!
But that's not enough, aren't there so many muscular men in the team? Fight up, fight!
The news is even bigger when it comes to fighting.
In the middle, Samisaki also gave Kurokawa Toyoya on the other side two opportunities to speak, but before the other party could organize the language, the power was cut off again.
After a short while, the protest line grew a little larger, and many unknown passers-by were attracted by his speech and began to angrily curse the injustice of the Reasoning Association.
Glancing at the signal from the subordinates next to him, Samisaki finally put down the microphone, and at this moment, in the protest team behind him, the people who asked for leave to protest were excited, and they were only one order away from launching a board charge.
Kurokawa Toyoya's face was frighteningly stiff, as if she had completely forgotten how to laugh. Hiroki Naganuma seized the opportunity to pick up the microphone and was about to start throwing the pot, when he saw a person walk straight up to the podium and squeeze him away.
Damn, how did this bastard come to be so coincidental?
Hiroki Naganuma's eyes widened, and the person who came was none other than Kenzo Konno, the head of the association.
Seeing that the other party was about to speak, he hurriedly raised the microphone and shouted.
Grass! Why is there no power again?!
What made him even more stunned was that Kenzo Konno inexplicably appeared a microphone in his hand.
After this elder came, he bowed 90 degrees without saying a word, and his waist and legs were straight to form a perfect right angle, otherwise how could a person be a president? With this bowing strength, it is not an ordinary person.
"I'm sorry we disappointed everyone, but I have an unshirkable responsibility as the president of the association for the current situation, I ......"
Kenzo Konno's words made the faces of Toyoya Kurokawa and the others next to him even more gloomy, this bastard not only didn't want to solve the matter, but also sent the two of them into the coffin completely and nailed them again.
A series of apologies, admitting mistakes with an excellent attitude, and the Tesaki Tetsuta over there also cooperated, saying that he was willing to believe in President Konno.
The protest team was disbanded on the spot, and Shisaki, who was in charge, was invited to the association to discuss how the association could progress.
"Haha, Sasaki-kun, is it going well over there in Hojo, right? I've heard that another 500,000 copies have been printed, which is amazing. The fact that the work written in just two days can be so good is that it scares us old-timers to death. ”
In the office, Kenzo Konno laughed and made tea with his own hands and served it to Tetsuta Shisaki.
"Hehe~ Thank you President Konno for your help."
Shisaki was grateful, and publicity was not just what he did. The chairman of the Konno also made great efforts and introduced many writers and people in the entertainment industry who were familiar with him to help promote it.
Yes, the one that is on fire in the entertainment industry [This time, are you satisfied with my tricks?] There is also a promoter behind him, Kenzo Konno is not a person who has no connections in the entertainment industry like Kyosuke Hojo, his works have been adapted into three TV series and four movies so far, and his connections are very amazing.
At this moment, he did not hesitate to drag the entire association into the water to help Kyosuke Hojo grow his momentum, although he knew that the other party was using himself and others as a knife to eradicate dissidents, but he was also a sinister villain, and Samisaki said that it was good to do so.
As for the reform of the association or something, Kenzo Konno had already thought about it, and directly added an online judge in addition to the five judges, and the referendum was referendum.
Sacrifice this move, and you can completely resist all the backlash. Isn't it fair and transparent? Isn't that satisfying?
But this vote actually has no impact on the final selection results, after this time, Kenzo Konno will be in full control of the association, five votes to one, better control the selection than before!
In the evening, on a social talk show on TV Asahi.
Kyosuke Hojo, Daisuke Yamaguchi, critic Jiraiya Futami, and Kenzo Konno, president of the Neon Reasoning Association, took the stage in turn. On the TV screen, the portrait of each person will be frozen for a short time when they appear on the stage, and then a description of the character will appear next to it.
Kyosuke Hojo, known as "Heisei Kazero", is a traditional writer with a literati backbone. There was a poll on the Internet about his girlfriend, and the options were as high as double digits.
After that, it's time to count his work and the awards he has won.
The same goes for councillors, critics, and presidents, so how do you know who you're watching?
Neon's TV station likes to trick guests very much, firstly, to increase the effect of the program, and secondly, to increase controversy and explosive points. Like a neon councillor in a meeting, who is willing to listen to those boring speeches, it is a waste of electricity to look at them. But if two parliamentarians staged a full-fledged martial arts on the spot, or simply a 100-person scuffle, it would be beautiful, even if the paying audience would simply pay for it.
For example, in this show, the director originally wanted to invite the enemy Matsumoto Motohiro to come with him, but he refused very simply, and even wanted to pry into the corner, and in turn invited Kyosuke Hojo and Jiraiya Futami to go to Fuji TV under the "Santsui Shimbun" to show the program.
Well, so Business is business, it's all about money services. When newspaper sales are high, advertising costs are high, and TV programs are popular and sponsors are more.
Without the hostile opponent, the host can only play by himself, and he wants to provoke a war at the beginning:
"Hojo-sensei, do you know about today's protest?"
As he spoke, a banner of the protesting crowd appeared on the screen and Kenzo Konno bowing at 90 degrees, apparently trying to make the two quarrel.
Then the host directly asked Kyosuke Hojo if the reason why he wrote his new work was because he suffered unfair treatment in the Mystery Writers Association, and he didn't save face for Kenzo Konno next to him.
Hojo Kyosuke was not surprised by this, he was still personable and smiling, Wen Sheng said that he and President Konno were very good friends, and he didn't expect everything that happened today, he didn't know what was going on inside the association, and then looked at the camera and said seriously:
“…… As you know, I just won the Honya Grand Prix not long ago, and I feel honored and happy. But I would like to say here that as a writer, honor is an affirmation of me, but my main job has always been to create. The greatest honor for me is the recognition of readers, and my goal is always to focus on creating better works to give back to my book lovers. ”
Kenzo Konno's heart twitched when he said this, and Councilor Daisuke Yamaguchi's pupils shook, thinking about a shameless guy. If it weren't for the fact that his face was too young, he would have thought that the person sitting next to him was an old and cunning politician.
After a while, the three of them applauded together, not knowing whether it was for someone's feelings or for his cheeks.
Seeing that a move failed, the host aimed at Councilor Daisuke Yamaguchi, how could he not throw out some ruthless information if he wanted to rub the heat? However, this political rising star of the Liberal Democratic Shan is also not a waste of firewood, and he fooled the host in three or two clicks, began to promote his governing philosophy, and frantically canvassed for votes.
Kenzo Konno in the back is even more exaggerated, and after talking about the idea of the reform of the association, he even began to promote a new book, and each one is more polite than the other.
Only the second sight is also the most honest, and when he finds an opportunity, he directly scolds Matsumoto Motohiro and "Production News", which makes the host sigh with emotion, and it has to be reliable for his own family.
Kyosuke Hojo and several others also gave face, and they scolded a few words, saying that if the other side is not convinced, they are welcome to fight, and the truth is not clear.
Thank you for the monthly passes, recommended tickets and tips for your support, thank you
