Chapter 424: 423. An Alternative "Idol" in the Literary Circle

   Chapter 424 423, Alternative "idols" in the literary circle

  At Tokyo Tsukiji's restaurant "New Gyraku", all the famous figures in the Japanese literary world came. Today is the twice-yearly award ceremony of the Akutagawa Award and Naoki Award.

  The winners of the Akutagawa Prize during the off-duty period this year are Atsushi Kasahara, the author of "杢二の世界", and Nobuko Takaki, the author of "光抱く友よ". Now the two are staring at the projection screen on the second floor very curiously.

   Kasahara Junyu said in a low voice: "I heard that this year's Naoki Award, the winner will receive the award via live broadcast? Nobuko-san, do you know Naoki Naoki?"

"It's just a little impression. I met once when "Summer Garden" won the Japanese Children's Literature Award." Takaki Nobuko said, "But I didn't say anything, I thought it was a children's literature writer, but after that "Love Letter" and now "Love in the Sky" are both best-selling youth literature."

   "Yeah, what a great new star in the literary world!" Junyu Kasahara said, "However, it's a bit unexpected to receive the award in a straight line this time!"

   "Haha, there are many unexpected technologies in the book "Love in the Sky"! It can be read as a science fiction novel!" Takaki Nobuko said with a small smile.

   At this time, the host on stage began to announce the opening, and the award ceremony of the 90th Akutagawa Award and Naoki Award officially began!

  After a while of courtesy and introduction, the experienced host invited the president of the Japan Literature Promotion Association to speak and present awards, while Kuniji Morikawa in the background was very anxious to contact Naoki Nagayama:

   "Naoki-san, please wait a moment, it is time for the chairman to speak."

  Five seconds later, Naoki Naoyama on the small screen replied: "Hey, when I need to speak, Bangji-san just let me know five seconds in advance!"

   Finally, the host finally announced the winners of the 90th Naoki Awards:

"In the middle of this year, there was a novel that captured the hearts of all Japanese teenagers with its unstoppable courage. This novel touched the hearts of readers with sincere emotions, cherished the memories of youth with deep-seated love, and used wonderful imagination The era of the future is depicted. Let us congratulate Naoki Nagayama on the winning work of the 90th Naoki Prize—"Love in the Sky"!"

"Because Mr. Naoki Naoki is currently abroad, this award speech will be broadcast live online. Does it fit the feeling of future science fiction in "Love Space"?" The host provoked the atmosphere of the awards ceremony, "Please, Mr. Yongshan Naoki!"

   "Naoki-san, get ready!"

  As Kuniji Morikawa pressed the switch, the image of Naoki Nagayama was projected onto the white cloth at the awards ceremony,

   "Good evening, Mina-san. Oh no, good morning in Tokyo!"

  The first sentence is a joke

   "Hahaha, Mr. Naoki is currently in Rome. It's early in the morning~ It's really hard~" The host didn't hold the silence, explained a little bit, and then said, "Naoki-san, it's time to give your acceptance speech!"

   Naoki Naoyama couldn't see the scene here, he could only look at the lens of a camera and talk to himself to a bunch of equipment.

   "Hi, thank you very much for the host!" Naoki Naoyama originally wanted to memorize the award speech he had prepared before, "First of all, I would like to thank the Japan Association for the Promotion of Literature for awarding me the Naoki Prize."

"When I first wrote this novel." When he said this, Naoki Yongshan was suddenly a little stunned, not because he forgot the speech, but because he suddenly remembered the time of tonight, his heart was touched, and he said involuntarily come out:

   "I didn't expect it to cause such a reaction among young readers, and I regret it a little now"

Anyway, there was no audience in front of him, so Naoki Naoki let go of his mentality: "Love is such a beautiful emotion, yet I wrote it so sadly. If the young people's perception of love has undergone some changes, there may even be so much Some fear, that is a great sin!"

  In the restaurant "New Joy" in Tokyo, there was a lot of noise among the participants. During the award ceremony, the author actually said openly that he regretted writing this novel. This has never happened before.

   At this time, Kuniji Morikawa's eyes widened in surprise. Naoki Naoki's acceptance speech was completely different from the one recorded the day before yesterday! What exactly is going on?

  The host saw Naoki Yongshan talking about his emotions about love without stopping, so he couldn't help interrupting:

  "Arnold, Naoki-san, if you could say a word to the readers of this novel, what would you say?"

  Naoki Naoyama from Rome heard it five seconds later, was silent for a moment, then smiled and said a word to the camera.

  In the venue in Tokyo, after everyone watched the host ask questions, Naoki Yongshan was silent for six or seven seconds, and then showed a bright smile:

  "If I want to sum it up in one sentence, I would like to say to the readers."

   "Mina-san! Don't waste time reading this "Love in the Sky"! Go and talk about a real love!"

  The participants in the audience immediately began to discuss. The media reporters who came here kept flashing the flashing lights, and even the skilled host was speechless for a while.

   What is this called!

   Kuniji Morikawa covered his forehead, Naoki Naoyama, doesn't he take the manuscript fee seriously?

In the studio of Shuyou Yinghua, Otomo Fangcun was watching the live broadcast of the award ceremony of the Naoki Award with other members who stayed in the company. When Naoki Yongshan said this sentence, Riko Ono next to him sprayed hot water. come out.

   "Cough cough cough~" After finally calming down the cough, Riko Ono said in surprise, "Naoki-san actually told others not to read his novel!"

  Otomo Fangcun looked at Naoki Naoki's face on the screen, and shook his head: "Our president is so unexpected!"

   "Isn't Arnold Naoki-san afraid of his own reputation?"

  Dayou Fangcun's eyes are full of memories at this time: "This is probably youth!"

   At the same time, Ishii Junshui, who was watching the broadcast in the living room of Yamazakura, couldn't bear it any longer.

   "Hezijiang, your brother is too bold!"

  Hezi subconsciously pulled Yingtaro's ears, which made Labrador's already melancholy face even more sad: "How should I put it, Ni-chan has such a personality~"

  But he complained wildly in his heart: "The guy who didn't even dare to talk to girls in high school is now persuading people to fall in love openly, maybe he is thinking of his regrets in high school!"

   "By the way, when Ni-chan was in high school, did he have a crush on someone? Ah, no, isn't he super obsessed with Momoe Yamaguchi?"

  Hezi's mind was in a mess, and he couldn't figure out how his brother became like this.

   Alas, maybe this is the sudden growth!

  Rome’s Naoki Naoyama, after finishing his thoughts, disconnected the connection when the host was astonished, and then looked at Yuta Kuroki, who was a little surprised:

   "Yuta-san, it's over! Let's go have a drink!"

   They said they would stay overnight, but tomorrow is the last day in Rome, Kuroki Yuta and Nagayama Naoki just drank a little cocktail, and then they returned to the hotel to rest.

  A young body is always full of vitality. Obviously, he only slept for two or three hours, but Naoki Naoyama was already full of energy when he woke up in the morning.

  In the restaurant of the hotel, I met Akina Nakamori and Yoshiaki Tanaka.

   "Naoki-san, here, here~"

   Akina Nakamori, who was sitting by the window, waved her hand, and when Naoki Naoyama came to the side, she asked curiously:

   "What happened to Naoki-san at the award ceremony yesterday? Yuta-san said you said something amazing."

   "No way. It's just for the readers to enjoy their youth and have a good relationship~"

  Naoki Naoyama looked at Akina with a smile, until she turned away in embarrassment, and then stole a piece of croissant from Akina's plate.

   "Huh? Naoki-san, you actually stole from me!" Akina immediately guarded her plate aggressively after finding out.

   "When my breakfast comes, I'll give you one too!" Naoki Naoyama ate the bread and turned to Yoshiaki Tanaka, "Yoaki-san, is today the last day in Rome?"

   "Hi, we are going to Geneva tomorrow, which was originally the second location, but in order to hurry up, we came to Rome first."

  Tanaka Yoshiaki took a look, and asked hesitantly, "Where is Naoki-san? Are you still with us?"

"Of course! Thanks to Yoshiaki-san's permission, Yuta-san was able to help me live broadcast to receive the award in a foreign country. This kindness has not been repaid!" Naoki Yongshan said a little exaggeratedly, "The rest of the journey, naturally It is time to repay you!"

   "Don't worry, if you are in Switzerland, I will invite everyone to live in a luxury hotel! Have a big meal!"

  A look that is not short of money at all.

"this"

   Yoshiaki Tanaka is a little embarrassed. It was originally a help without asking for anything in return, but now it’s a little bit.

  But other people in the team, including Ueda Maki, Honda Shinan and other staff next to them, all looked very moved

   "Yoaki-san, don't worry, this is just a trivial thank you."

   "Since Naoki-san is so kind, then we will be disrespectful!"

  In the end, Yoshiaki Tanaka still couldn’t resist his colleague’s pleading eyes. Even with Yanyin, which is backed by a consortium, grassroots employees on business trips can’t meet the standards of a luxury hotel.

   After agreeing, there was a small celebration among the team, and everyone had smiles on their faces.

  Yongshan Naoki quietly looked at Nakamori Akina, she was smiling at him, so Yongshan Naoki blinked at her, then quietly stretched out his hand, and stole an egg **** from Akina's dinner plate!

   "Ah, Naoki-san! You thief!"

  Akina Nakamori patted Naoki Naoki on the shoulder angrily. After Naoki Naoki’s breakfast was delivered, she also used a fork to **** the golden fried bread on both sides~

  Yoaki Tanaka looked at the close interaction between the two in front of him, and couldn't help feeling a bit of regret in his heart.

  Although the two of them looked like ordinary friends watching a joke, and they didn't interact too intimately, it always felt like there was something inexplicable between the two.

   No, seeing the two laughing and grabbing each other's food, Yoshiaki Tanaka felt that the breakfast on his plate was a bit tasteless.

   What's the matter, why do you feel that you are full of something?

  The whole morning that followed, Naoki Naoyama finally followed the filming team to the famous sights in Rome, and even visited the famous Vatican.

  This independent country located on the highlands in the northwest corner of Rome is the smallest country in the world, only 0.44 square kilometers.

  Akina Nakamori excitedly posed under the obelisk of the Vatican, and then ran to the nearby St. Peter's dome, like a deer that couldn't stop.

   After a while, he ran to the side of Naoki Nagayama again, and asked charmingly:

   "Naoki-san, why is the Vatican an independent country?"

   ".This." Naoki Naoyama looked at Akina's clear eyes and was a little stuck. This question caught me, "There are various reasons~"

   "For example?" Fawn continued to look at Naoki Yongshan.

  “Because this is the seat of the Pope of the Catholic Church and the holy place for all Catholics, it has a great religious influence.”

Naoki Naoyama was still searching for the knowledge in his head, and wanted to give Akina some science, but when he lowered his head, he saw the corner of Nakamori Akina's lightly raised mouth, and knew that this cunning girl just wanted to talk to him, no matter what What, Akina probably doesn't care~

  So Naoki Naoyama started to run the train with his mouth full: "Under the watchful eye of God, this sacred territory has always belonged to the Pope!"

   "Huh? If the Pope is in the Vatican, doesn't he have almost unlimited power?"

"It should be~ It's the same as feudalism. The pope combines the highest legislative, administrative, and judicial powers." Naoki Naoyama continued to chat with Akina, "But the pope is elected, which is not the same as feudalism. ~"

   "Then if the Pope wants to create a new law, for example, pedestrians keep to the left in the Vatican, can you just say it?"

   "." Naoki Naoyama was a little speechless, "Akina, your thoughts are so active."

  The two chattered nonsensically. Although they didn't hug or hold hands, they bumped into each other inadvertently, which made the two hearts feel each other.

   But Yoshiaki Tanaka, who was further away, had a toothache even more. He said to Shinyasu Honda who took the photo: "Shinoyasu, why do I feel that there seems to be something between Naoki Nagayama and Akina sauce?"

  Honta Shinyasu rolled his eyes: "Naoki Naoki, since his debut, has been like a haunted ghost, always appearing next to Akina sauce, Yoshiaki-san, don't you really feel anything?"

   "Huh? What do you mean?"

   "Didn't the seniors talk about it? Fire prevention, anti-theft and anti-Naoki!" Honda Shinan said, "Before Naoki Naoyama succeeds, hurry up and look after the two to be serious!"

  The rising trend of Nakamori Akina is so obvious, such a cash cow, Kenyin absolutely does not want her to have any problems at this time.

   But falling in love is hard to avoid

  In the newspapers and periodicals on the second day in Tokyo, about the award ceremony reports of the Akutagawa Award and the Naoki Award, all newspapers used similar headlines:

   "Shocked! The author advises you not to read "Lian Kong"!" "Go to love! Stop reading novels!" ""Lian Kong" is a waste of time, it is better to fall in love!"

   In the report, Naoki Naoki’s award acceptance speech was published, allowing audiences throughout Japan to see it.

However, what is unexpected is that not long after the report of the Naoki Award came out, the Xiao Xuekan received calls from many bookstores, saying that many young students came to the bookstore to buy this book, and there were actually some adult students. Readers have also started buying.

The sales of the novel "Love in the Sky", which had been declining slowly, suddenly rose rapidly, and even the previous "Love Letter" and "The Garden of Summer" had a lot of demand, so these bookstores wanted to buy another batch novel.

  Morikawa Kuniji of the Shogakukan scratched his head in confusion at this moment, feeling that he was no longer sure what the readers were thinking.

   "Is it the unique rebellious psychology of young people? The more you don't let them see it, the more you want to see it?"

  He didn't know that at this time, Naoki Naoyama was not only the author of "Love in the Sky", but also an alternative "idol" in the literary circle!

  Some students began to admire him, so they frantically bought his works like fans cheering.
