Tokyo Girlfriend Illustrated Book

Chapter 596 Is this how you thank me?

The Reasoning Association acted very quickly, probably because the final selection date was approaching. A special website was launched the day after the protest march. In addition to setting up a voting interface, it also updated the judges’ information from previous voting. The evaluation does seem very fair at first glance.

Some other awards, such as the organizers behind the Akutagawa Prize Naoki Award, saw that the Mystery Association Award was so busy with a small parade, they all laughed out loud, and some people added insult to injury and made comments in newspapers, which was weird. It is said that the Reasoning Association keeps pace with the times and keeps up with the trends of the new generation.

Those words are beautiful, but anyone with a discerning eye knows that this is a mockery of the Mystery Association, which is a literary award but has lost its seriousness and professionalism. It has followed the same trend as the Grand Prize of this house, and has lost the face of cultural people!

Amidst the ridicule, the association president Kenzo Konno ignored it and pushed forward the reform on his own. He even temporarily added a voting discussion and hired professionals to broadcast live in the conference room. The entrance was placed on the voting website. , let the public take a good look at how the selection work is carried out.

Of course, this idea came from Hojo Kyosuke. The inspiration came from the fights between congressmen and the quarrels between scholars. If you want to watch it, you can enjoy it all at once. On the one hand, it shows the determination to reform the openness and fairness of the awards. On the other hand, it is also conducive to increasing the credibility of the awards themselves.

Don't look at the way his novels are written in a leisurely manner, where all kinds of shady stories are revealed at once, and the protagonist kills and kills, which is indeed influential. Ahem, the impact mentioned here is not the sales of 1.5 million copies, but the impact on the association itself. Just like the emperors in ancient times, Li Shimin killed his brother and forced his father to give up the throne and become the emperor. His son also followed the same example and disturbed the family, and his wife also followed the same example and became the eldest brother.

Therefore, breaking the rules can indeed bring huge benefits. Hojo Kyosuke's new work "The Dream and Death of Writer K" can now be said to be very popular. People who read mystery novels or not, want to see what this can do What does the sacred book that forces the Mystery Writers Association to reform look like?

In order to prevent others from following suit, and to restore the reputation of the association that had fallen due to his actions, Hojo Kyosuke, who had already eaten his fill, decisively smashed his bowl and called on Kisaki to give Kenzo Konno advice. After the eradication, there are still thoughts of people who want to eat human blood steamed buns.

The live broadcast has a written script, including what everyone should say and what they should do. Now Kenzo Konno can be said to have sole power in the association, covering the sky with one hand. Everyone is afraid of being thrown out and used as a scapegoat to quell public complaints.

In the conference room, each of the judges was dressed appropriately, and their comments were more professional than the last, and their attitudes were extremely tough. Each of them yelled until they blushed and argued with each other, and two of them went directly across the circular conference table to the open space in the middle to talk to each other. He grabbed each other's tie and really fought over the works he supported.

The barrage was also quite lively, and netizens had a great time watching the monkeys.

"Why is it different from what is written in Mr. Hojo's book? These judges must have worked too hard. Could it be that the author gave too much money (laughing)"

"Wwwww, maybe we agreed that when everything is done, we will go to Ginza to find Mama-san."

"We actually got into a fight!?"

"It's a pity that Mr. Hojo is not here, otherwise he would definitely be able to convince all the judges with his knife."

"Although I don't understand it, I keep laughing and covering up the Congress looks much better."

"In other words, the most reliable thing is the violence of money."

"You're lying, right? It's so noisy that you should have a duel after the meeting, right?"

These nonsense-talking fun-lovers have obviously seen Hojo Kyosuke’s new work, and of course there are some good ones. Many people expressed their appreciation for the Mystery Association.

"I thought the judges were voting based on interests and personal preferences, but I didn't expect that they actually saw so many things in the novel that I didn't see."

"The Devotion of Suspect X by Mr. Hojo is so good, isn't it!? I only saw Ishigami's love for Miss Yasuko, and Yukawa Manabu's love for Ishigami. I didn't expect that this novel also dealt with women's issues. Pay attention to and care about the problem of homeless people, so Mr. Hojo is a good writer who can be called a national teacher!”

"Support! I have already voted for Mr. Hojo. Tsuyoshi Aisaka is such a good brother. It's not in vain that Mr. Hojo worked so hard to help him promote his new book."

Well, yes, one of the two people fighting was Tsuyoshi Aisaka, and the one who was beaten was naturally Toyoma Kurokawa. This scene was proposed by Toyomasa Kurokawa himself. The purpose was not sure whether it was to show that he was beaten to wake up or to show his upright image to the outside world.

"These judges are also good people who work so hard for the works they support."

“I’ll know what to say next time I ask my dad about Mr. Anri Hojo’s works.”

"Asshole, stop grabbing your dad's tie!"

"Don't splash people with tea either!"

"Baga! Who would do that!"

"Why don't we just fight in the octagonal cage? The loser will get an advantage."

"What the hell are you talking about?"

Of course, the barrage discussion gradually went sideways, but it can also be seen how popular this live broadcast is.

The effect of the live broadcast was quite good, with more than 100,000 real-time viewers. Although this number is insignificant compared to the huge sales of novels and newspapers, it is actually quite amazing in today's neon live broadcast industry. After the various data were revealed at the end of the live broadcast, everyone was shocked.

Not to mention the Internet entertainment aspect, they have already started to contact the Mystery Writers Association to seek cooperation. Although the organizers of many literary awards do not understand the value of this live broadcast, they can see the comments on the voting website and the rapidly rising number of votes. As of now, the total number of votes has reached nearly 200,000, of which Hojo Kyosuke alone has received more than 150,000 votes.

You must know that this is not an anonymous vote, but a real-name vote with a registered resident ID number. Such terrifying data is also reflected in the sales of the novel.

In previous years, it was necessary to wait until the results of the awards were announced before the winning novels would have a second spring under the buff of honor. But now with this move, not only the sales of "Suspect X's Devotion", which is currently the first in the vote, have increased, but even "The Labyrinth of the Arm", which only has more than 5,000 votes in the last place, has sold more than 5,000 copies in a short period of time.

In modern society, money is everything. If your work is exaggerated but the sales are a mess, the people will not buy it. Seeing that the work with the highest sales volume has indeed won the award, people will think that the jury still has eyes.

As for the seriousness and professionalism that were previously ridiculed by major literary awards, look at the current public opinion. Through a live broadcast, netizens may laugh at it, but looking at the "reading comprehension" written by professional writers, I have to admit that the judges' thoughts and patterns are still higher than mine. But it doesn't matter, now those opinions are mine! I will like this book, definitely not just CP!

This huge reversal made the literary world's Taishan veterans stunned, and they couldn't help but curse the major newspaper groups in shock. If you guys weren't so unpromising, how could people now be so stupid? If there was no Internet, everyone would still read newspapers and listen to experts like before, and Hojo Kyosuke wouldn't get such a big benefit.

It's better for the people to be stupider, and they can't be allowed to speak!

Hojo Kyosuke didn't know what people outside scolded and didn't care, but he accepted the precious wine and several original manuscripts sent by Kenzo Chino with peace of mind.

Well, it was the original manuscript of that guy's masterpiece "Kendo Tournament Murder Case". This guy is still the same, no matter what he does, he likes to talk about his own works. But the fact that he gave the manuscript as a gift shows his sincerity.

How could he not be sincere? Seeing that the reputation of the association is soaring like a roller coaster, and that the Reasoning Writers Association is about to surpass its predecessors and become the pride of the Japanese literary world, Kenzo Chino wants to commit suicide immediately and go to the Sanzu River to have a good chat with Edogawa Ranpo.

Oosaka Tsuyoshi, who is sitting at the same table, is also beaming. No one knows about his writing for ten years, but once he fights, everyone knows him. All his previous works have been dug up and his royalties have increased greatly. His wife at home also praises him as a manly man. His reputation in the writer circle is also very good. Everyone praises his character and wants to be friends with him and find him when they fight in the future.

Even his latest work, "Nighttime Memories", a love story about a woman with Alzheimer's disease, has been praised by netizens, saying that although he looks a little ugly, he is very delicate inside and is worthy of being a friend of Mr. Hojo.

This made the old man's self-confidence unprecedentedly high. During the dinner, he shamelessly asked Miki Okudera if he could find a beautiful lady in the women's university now.

Hearing this, Kenzo Chino almost laughed out loud, but Miki Okudera, who was sitting next to Kyosuke Hojo, smiled unchanged, still bright and generous, and just said gently:

"Even if you haven't experienced what happened during this period, Mr. Osaka is still a charming man."

Hearing this, Tsuyoshi Osaka laughed so hard that his back teeth were exposed. Kenzo Chino also laughed and patted Kyosuke Hojo on the shoulder, saying that he had a good girlfriend.

Kyosuke Hojo smiled subtly, not wanting Tsuyoshi Osaka to see the flaw. Miki was able to be a foreman in a well-known restaurant when she was still in college. Her EQ and IQ are so high. Now that she is her own boss, she has evolved so much that even the writer Tsuyoshi Oosaka was fooled by her words.

This statement clearly means that Tsuyoshi Oosaka was a charming man before, and now that his reputation has soared, it is easy for him to pick up girls? But if you think about it carefully, you can find something wrong. If Tsuyoshi Oosaka was a charming man before, then you don’t see how good his luck with women is? So this statement is to tell him not to daydream.

Tsuyoshi Oosaka didn’t laugh twice. Seeing Kenzo Chino’s mischievous smile, he also reacted, but he didn’t care and was still happy. He also praised Miki Okudera for her high EQ, and congratulated Hojo Kyosuke by the way, saying that it was a blessing to have such a smart girlfriend. As he spoke, Kenzo Chino smiled again, knowing that this was a squeeze on Hojo Kyosuke. With such a powerful girlfriend, there is no peace in the backyard.

Before Hojo Kyosuke spoke, Miki Okudera put down the chopsticks she was using to pick up food for her lover and smiled as she started talking about other things.

"The poster for Kyosuke's new work should be submitted for an award, right?"

So there are many awards in the Japanese literary world. The work itself can be awarded, the characters in the work can be awarded, and even the posters of the novel can be awarded. Adapted movies can be awarded, and there is also the Japanese Entertainment Novel Award, which selects the "original novel of the movie." It's more fancy than the awards in the entertainment industry.

Miki Okudera is asking about one of the awards now, which is the award for the best poster of the novel. By the way, there are also cover awards and the like. This award is jointly launched by several major publishing houses and is considered to be a more valuable award in the industry.

Hearing this, Kenzo Chino and Tsuyoshi Osaka looked at each other, first stunned and then looked at Hojo Kyosuke with a complicated expression.

What is this bastard's virtue? Girlfriend is helping girlfriend to win a prize?

Do you have to get along so well? None of my wives are as harmonious as you!

"Bastard, drink! Chino drinks a glass and you drink a bottle!"

Tsuyoshi Osaka shouted loudly, fully learning from the experience of being drunk before. Kenzo Chino, who also wanted to make a comeback with his well-trained drinking capacity, happily raised his glass without noticing the trick at all.

Miki Okudera heard it, and her bright little face immediately became unhappy. She immediately wanted to replace her lover's wine with fruit wine and the wine of the two people opposite with vodka.

Hojo Kyosuke hurriedly raised his hand with a smile to stop him, and directly replaced the wine on both sides with brandy.

What a joke, even if I drink my liver and kidneys, I will be back to square one at the end of the year. What can you two weak chickens do to compete with me?

Looking at the strong liquor on the table in front of him, Kenzo Chino's face suddenly changed, and he quickly filled up Tsuyoshi Oosaka's glass.

The noisy dinner gradually became silent, and the two middle-aged men got into the car driven by the secretary and were sent home.

Back upstairs at "Yan Tei", looking at Miki Okudera bending over to clean the table, looking at the two round and plump buttocks, Hojo Kyosuke walked up and hugged the girl's waist, and put his face close to Miki's ear.

"Thank you, Miki."

The voice with the smell of alcohol circulated around Miki's ear, and then rushed into her nose along the smooth face.

The hand that was packing things stopped suddenly, and feeling the things in the buttocks, Miki Okudera, who was always generous and decent, couldn't help blushing.

"It's good that you know!" With a voice full of anger and shyness.

She didn't have such a good relationship with Eriri, but she fought back like that just because she couldn't bear to see others making fun of Hojo Kyosuke.

Hojo Kyosuke laughed and rubbed his forehead against Miki's neck and ears.

How could he forget about Eriri's poster winning the award? He had already discussed it with the publisher at the beginning, but Miki could tell him about it in an instant, which showed that she had thought about it before.

As expected, she is a big sister, who knows how to care for people.

Hojo Kyosuke then took Miki's hand and pulled her into his arms.

Everyone drank heavily at the celebration banquet, and he drank his wine.

"I still have to clean up?"

While saying this, Miki Okudera hugged her lover's waist tightly.

"Let the employees clean up tomorrow."
