"There is great hope that Lin Sang's work can win the 'Naoki Thirty-five Prize', but it is not that simple if you want to win the Naoki Prize in the first half of next year." Tsuneyasu Isojima said, "An excellent work ferments

It takes a while, and Lin Sang's works are still series works. Even if Lin Sang's works are all excellent, the magazine cannot let Lin Sang's works occupy the page for a long time. But if it cannot be published in "Literary Spring and Autumn",

Then Lin Sang's works can only be published in "ALL Readings" or "Bietsu Literary Spring and Autumn".

Although it is inappropriate for me to say this as an editor of a magazine, the works in "Beshu Literary Spring and Autumn" have basically been relegated to the sidelines, and it would be better not to publish them there. As for "ALL Readings", although this

It is also an excellent literary magazine, but among the first-line literary magazines, "ALL Readings" ranks quite low. If I were to run it, I would like to use three years to accumulate Lin Sang's works. However,

Can I ask why Lin Sang is so obsessed with winning the Naoki Award in the first half of next year? Maybe we can find a compromise?"

Lin Junxiu explained his reasons. He emphasized: "I was born in a poor single-parent family and attended an unknown public high school in Adachi Ward. If I want to be admitted to a nationally renowned high school like Azabu High School,

If you want to be admitted, just relying on your grades is not enough. Therefore, I am very eager to win the Naoki Award, because it is obviously a very important stepping stone."

"I understand what you mean." Tsuneyasu Ishima replied.

Isoshima Tsuneyasu is not from Tokyo. He only relied on his own efforts to gain a foothold in a top magazine like "Bungai Shunqiu". So he knows very well how difficult it is for a child from a poor family to succeed in Japan, and he now has the power to do so.

An opportunity to help others made Isoshima start to think about whether the boy in front of him was worthy of his help.

Under normal circumstances, Japanese writers and their editors are two sides of the same coin, because Japanese writers rarely move to other publications to publish their works. Unless the publication they are cooperating with is not suitable for their works, or there are irreconcilable conflicts between the two parties,

Otherwise, the relationship between the editor and the author is simply stronger than the relationship between husband and wife. But the boy in front of him is still underage. If his guardian insists on taking away the boy who may become famous in the future, he has no choice. After all, Japan's "Child Protection Law"

"It's really too powerful, so powerful that even media at the level of "Literary Spring and Autumn" cannot be its enemy.

However, Isoshima Tsuneyasu is not willing to give up on Lin Junxiu. There are not many young people who can write books, and even fewer young people can mature their works to this point. I am afraid that the writing style of new adult writers is not so sophisticated. No wonder

My seniors once said to me that writing is a profession that depends on God’s blessings. The young man in front of me is not only God’s food, but also the kind of ancestor who is afraid of going hungry.

Isoshima Tsuneyasu sighed and asked, "Lin Sang, assuming you get the Naoki Award, will you leave the company? Although it is a bit arrogant to say this, it is undeniable that we will not cultivate a winner who has nothing to do with us in the future.

Award for newcomers.”

"Editor Isoshima, please rest assured. Unless my work is rejected by you, I will not submit it to other publishing houses." Lin Junxiu immediately understood what Isoshima Tsuneyasu meant. The other party was worried about his own fame.

If he wants to go solo, then the opponent's early investment will be in vain. But if Tsuneyasu Ijima knew Lin Junxiu's plan, he wouldn't think so.

One of the reasons why Lin Junxiu chose "Bungei Chunqiu" to contribute is that this publishing house also owns the most famous gossip magazine "Weekly Bunshun" in Japan. Its lethality is known as "Bunshun Cannon". Any artist who has been hit by "Bunshun Cannon"

, ranging from "flaming up" to being blamed and withdrawing from the circle. However, as an unspoken rule in the gossip magazine circle, once Lin Junxiu becomes a writer of "Wen Yi Chun Qiu", "Wen Chun Qiu" will definitely report less on him, and some small gossips will

I guess I just turned a blind eye.

"I believe you." I don't know why, but Tsuneyasu Isoshima feels that the words of the young man in front of me can be trusted. "But I alone don't have this ability. I need to contact my senior sister. Compared to me, the editor,

My senior sister is much more capable. As long as your work can be recognized by her, then she will definitely be able to help you win several awards."

Isoshima Tsuneyasu stood up and looked for the front desk clerk outside the door, asking her to make a call and ask someone to come to their reception room. Not long after, Lin Junxiu heard the rhythmic sound of high heels hitting the ground, and then a woman pushed

The door came in. The woman was at least over 170 centimeters tall, which is an unusual height among Japanese women. She had long hair as thick and curly as seaweed, clean and fresh nude makeup, and red lips like flames. This woman couldn't

Use beautiful to describe it, and the adjective phrase "beautiful and beautiful" seems to have been born for her. Lin Junxiu's body was still very young at this time, so he suddenly became excited, and Lin Junxiu's face burned.

The woman seemed to be used to men admiring her, not to mention she was still a boy in the second grade of high school, so she just smiled coldly, and then sat next to Tsuneyasu Isoshima. She asked: "Is this the young genius writer you said?"

After saying that, she picked up the manuscript paper that Tsuneyasu Ishima put next to her and started reading it casually.

"He can be considered a genius boy, but he is still far from being a genius writer." The woman put down the manuscript, but her expression softened slightly at this time.

"My name is Uao Hanabao, and I am the editor of Bungeishunqiu Publishing House. Tsuneyasu Ishima told me about your situation in general. Judging from the standard of the manuscripts you have given me so far, there is no big problem in being shortlisted for the Naoki Award.

But if you want to successfully win the Naoki Award, there are a lot of things involved. First of all, I have to make sure that all your works can be published before the nomination and the single book is successfully released.

However, the number of magazines in our publishing house is relatively limited, and the most you can read in "Literary Spring and Autumn" is one novel. And among our novel magazines, "Literary Circle" is aimed at purely literary works, so you

The only choices we have are "ALL Readings" and "Besolan Literary Spring and Autumn". And the remaining issues of these two publications are less than eight, so to a large extent, we will not be able to publish them all.

."

"Senior, isn't there any other way?" Tsuneyasu Isoshima looked at the Uohana leaves pleadingly.

"Now that you have found me, of course there is a way." Mao Weihuaye said, "But the steps are also to go forward step by step. If the situation in the first step is not good, then the subsequent steps may be aborted." Mao Weihuaye said.

Ohana Yezi took out a small novel that had just been printed from her bag, "This is one of the two major book series of our publishing house, 'Wenchun New Books'. Different from 'Wenchun New Books', 'Wenchun New Books' mainly

It is aimed at those new works. "Surprise" will be published in "ALL Readings". If the response is good, "ALL Readings" will publish another article, and the remaining three articles will be collected in "Wenchun New Books"

publishing.

According to Isoshima, you still have three works left, right? I hope you can submit the manuscript before the end of October, so that I can arrange for your three works to be published in "Bessatsu Bungeishunqiu" and "ALL Readings" respectively.

and published in "Literary Spring and Autumn". At the same time, before you nominate the Naoki Award, I will help you win the 'Newcomer Award' of "ALL Readings". Although the Naoki Award and the Akutagawa Award are nominally sponsored by the Literature Promotion Association, if

Being able to win the Newcomer Award from some mainstream literary magazines, especially literary and spring magazines, is very helpful for nomination and winning awards. Of course, whether you can win the award in the end depends on the quality of your work."

"I understand what you mean." Lin Junxiu certainly knew what the other party meant.

No award evaluation can be absolutely fair, but if your work is excellent enough, then the jury will naturally not be able to award the award to others without conscience. Especially the Naoki Award and the Akutagawa Award, which are recognized by the entire writers circle and literature.

Awards that enthusiasts pay attention to.

"I will complete the next three articles as soon as possible and submit them to the two editors for review." Lin Junxiu quickly promised the two editors.

The rest is of course the matter of signing the relevant contract. Since Lin Junxiu is not only involved in magazine submissions, but also in the collection of book series, the contract consists of several parts. Lin Junxiu is too lazy to study it in detail, and he is not qualified with his current qualifications.

Competing with publishing companies like "Literary Spring and Autumn". But even so, the manuscript fee that Lin Junxiu Qi Qi Ba Ba received in the end was as high as 4 million yen. And because he also had the royalties after the release of "Literary Spring and Autumn", so in the end

Income is uncertain.

"For the next thing, please ask Lin Sang to find a reliable accountant for you to avoid tax." Editor Isoshima reminded with a smile, "Your family is a poor family, so there are many deductions that can be deducted. And

I guess your family didn’t buy corresponding insurance, right? These can all be deducted. However, you should consult a professional accountant for the specific deduction amount and how to deduct it!"

Since the most convenient bank in Japan is the Postal Savings Bank, Lin Junxiu’s account is opened in this bank. The Postal Savings Bank has branches all over Japan, and ATM withdrawals and transfers are free. For Lin Junxiu, who is still in the poor class

, this is obviously a great benefit. Taking the Postal Savings Bank card and passbook, Lin Junxiu returned home in a happy mood.

After Lin Zhimei came home from get off work in the evening, Lin Junxiu handed his bankbook to Lin Zhimei. Lin Zhimei was a little curious. He thought it was Lin Junxiu who had paid his salary. After all, Lin Junxiu's new contract had a basic salary, so she thought it was Lin Zhimei. Her son came to show off. But when she opened the passbook, the balance figure immediately blinded Lin Zhimei. Lin Zhimei asked with some trembling: "This... so much money? How did you get this money?" Didn’t you do something else?”

"What bad things can your son do to earn so much money at such a young age?" Lin Junxiu took out his contract with "Literary Spring and Autumn", "I have been writing novels during this period, and finally got the appreciation of the editor.

."

"Really? I...I'm a little dizzy!" Lin Zhimei checked her son's contract in disbelief. Even if she didn't understand the content of the contract, the "Literary Spring and Autumn" above was true. Even if Lin Zhimei was isolated from the literary world,

She has also heard of the famous name of this magazine. "I am so happy! Junxiujun, mom is proud of you!"

"Should we consider moving?" Lin Junxiu is not so luxurious that he wants to buy a house in Tokyo, but at least he can change to a slightly larger, modern apartment. It is too annoying to always let his mother sleep in the living room.
