Tokyo: I loaded the love advice system

Chapter 318 Chapter 317: Ninomiyaru’s support team

the next day.

The selection committee officially announced the list of finalists and winners of the Edogawa Ranpo Prize.

Among them, Hayato Terashima's "Crime and Punishment" became a grand prize work, receiving a bonus of tens of millions of yen, as well as Edogawa Ranpo Statue, Ritsu Ninomiya's "The Devotion of Suspect X" and three other works stopped at the finalist stage.

As a grand prize work.

Hayato Terashima's "Crime and Punishment" will be published directly by Kodansha. At the same time, Fuji TV will also start a film and television adaptation of the work. For newcomers, Edogawa Ranpo Rewards' debut is indeed a great deal.

Relatively speaking.

The other four shortlisted works were not so lucky. They were able to obtain both generous contracts and film and television opportunities. Whether the shortlisted works can be published depends on whether Kodansha or other publishing companies take a fancy to them.

Also due to the announcement of the Edogawa Ranpo Prize list.

There was an uproar on the Internet.

First of all, countless writers, readers, and fans flocked to Ninomiya Ryul’s Twitter to ridicule him.

"Teacher Ninomiya, where is the reservation for the Edogawa Ranpo Prize?"

"You also reasoned about the Writers Association Award, the Naoki Award, and you even lost the Edogawa Ranpo Award."

"This Ninomiyaru is a complete clown."

"I have said that young people should not be too conceited. You will suffer the consequences."

"I have a story to tell. Ninomiya-sensei wrote a mystery novel for the first time and was directly shortlisted for the Edogawa Ranpo Prize. Isn't this already amazing? I heard that this year the number of submissions for the Edogawa Ranpo Prize has reached a new high, exceeding six There are more than a hundred books, and only five are shortlisted.”

"..."

Although there are a small number of rational spectators who are dissatisfied with the second house law.

It was my first time to write a mystery novel, and I was shortlisted for the Edogawa Ranpo Prize. If you put it on an ordinary person, you would be called a genius. If you continue to brag about it for a while, how come you have become a celebrity on the Internet when it comes to Ninomiya Ritsu? What about black?

But rational onlookers are still in the minority.

Most people just watch the fun and don’t take it too seriously.

In addition, Ninomiya Ritsu boasted too much before and offended the entire network. Unless Ninomiya Ritsu wins the Edogawa Ranpo Prize and uses his overwhelming talent to shut them up.

if not.

He will inevitably encounter overwhelming public opinion.

"Hahaha! It's done! It's done!"

The instigator, Tsuchiya Daigo, jumped up with joy. He even called Onoue Shuhei to show off: "Onoue-kun, is this Ninomiya Ritsu whom you advised me to be careful and not to be my enemy? That's all. Look at him. Now he has become a street rat, and this dark history will accompany him throughout his life. I wonder how he can still gain a foothold in the industry."

"Teacher Tsuchiya, you'd better stop."

Onoe Sohei persuaded: "If you continue, you will definitely not end well."

"Ah!"

Tsuchiya Daigo said sarcastically: "Ogami-kun, are you only as courageous as Natto? Not only will I not stop, I will also buy more navy troops, and I will bring the rhythm of Ninomiya Ritsu to make him irrecoverable."

"Teacher Tsuchiya, please take care."

Onoe Sohei quickly hung up the phone and blocked him.

Tell him intuitively.

Something is wrong, and very wrong.

With Ninomiya Ritsu's character, how could he make such a big statement without being sure and ruin his reputation? He felt that Nigong Ryu must be holding back the big wave.

And this time I held it in for so long.

The power that followed was definitely far greater than any previous one.

……

The Ninomiya family.

Sakurai Karin, Ichinose Haruna, Hayakawa Shiori, Hazuki Kana, Kobayashi Yuki, and even Horikawa Yui all came to visit him one after another, fearing that he would collapse because of this incident. “Damn it! It’s so abominable!”

Horikawa Yui cursed angrily: "Ninomiya-kun's novels are definitely the best in the world. Those idiots on the selection committee have no vision at all. They actually didn't select Ninomiya-kun's works. See if I don't let Seventh Brother trouble them!" "

Her seventh brother works in the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology.

And the position is not low.

Although I can't do anything to the top writers on the selection committee, it's okay to disgust them.

"I also think Ritsu-kun's works are better."

Ichinose Haruna said from the bottom of her heart: "Well...it's even better than the top works of the five teachers on the selection committee. Don't be angry, Ninomiya-kun. It's because they have no vision."

"I told Mr. Weakou a long time ago that you have little chance of receiving a reward."

Hayakawa Shiori poured cold water on her. She was not the type who only picked up good news. If you dated and got married to her, don't expect her to be as obedient, gentle and considerate to her husband as Yamato Nadeshiko.

But she is different from a woman who can only sneer.

It’s more like a relationship between husband and wife. Once the wife complains about her husband’s troubles, she will find ways to help her husband solve the problem and support him to move on: “The only way to make up for it now is to contact the publisher and publish Lujun’s book immediately. works, and then we will look at internal purchases to increase sales to surpass the award-winning work "Crime and Punishment"."

Hayakawa Shiori's thinking is very clear.

As long as the sales volume exceeds that of the Edogawa Ranpo Award-winning work, it will stop most people's mouths and make passers-by and readers realize that even if Ninomiya Ritsu's work does not win the award, it will not lose to... or even surpass the award-winning work. The work "Crime and Punishment".

"Our Hayakawa Group has more than 30,000 employees."

Hayakawa Shiori first expressed her position: "I will contact my aunt and ask her to order 35,000 copies of Ninomiya-kun's works in the name of Hayakawa Group, and distribute them as one of the employee benefits, and order an additional 65,000 copies. , donated to schools around the world.”

One hundred thousand copies is not a small number.

If a mystery novel costs 800 yen, copies would be million yen. As the second daughter of the Hayakawa family, it would take a lot of effort for her to convince her aunt, who controlled the Hayakawa Group, to buy so many novels.

"I'll buy 300,000 copies!"

Horikawa Yui's words were astonishing and she directly ordered 300,000 copies.

As the darling of the Horikawa family, the financial resources Horikawa Yui controls are not comparable to Hayakawa Shiori's. After all, Hayakawa Shiori was only the second daughter of the second wife, and there were quite a few cousins ​​in the Hayakawa family who were the same age as her.

"I can also order three hundred thousand copies."

Hazuki Kana is not to be outdone. She has been in the industry for ten years. Although most of her savings are with her parents, now that her relationship with her parents has been restored, it will not be a problem to use those savings.

She still has two to three hundred million yen.

"in addition……"

Hazuki Kana continued to express her position: "If the subsequent sales are not enough to surpass that "Crime and Punishment", I can continue to add another 200,000 copies."

"I-I can also add more!"

Yui Horikawa followed suit, but her tone was a bit weak.

"Ritsu-chan, don't worry."

Yuki Kobayashi pinched Ninomiya Ritsu's face and said, "My sister will also help here. I will buy at least 100,000 copies."

"Ritsu-kun, I can also buy 50,000 copies."

Sakurai Kari's weak statement made her feel a little inferior.

Everyone else bought hundreds of thousands of copies. Only she quoted a quantity of 50,000 copies, but she really didn’t have much money. In order to buy these 50,000 copies, she had to spend all the money she earned from her recent debut. Put the money in.

"Ninomiya-kun, I'm sorry, I can only buy 10,000 copies."

Ichinose Haruna felt very guilty for not being able to help Ninomiya Ritsu, but eight million yen was the limit she could afford. She had to borrow it from her parents at home, otherwise she would not be able to save eight million yen based on her own salary. One million yen and I don’t know how long it will take.

"..."

One person, one word.

The novel hasn't been published yet, but it's already scheduled to sell nearly a million copies.
