Tokyo Literary Godfather

Chapter 109 Waves

The author of Mitarai Kiyo Detective Collection is Shoji Shimada, who is the father of Japan's transformation in the parallel world. He first appeared in "Astrology Killing Magic".

Before him, there were almost no masterpieces of the Biange School in Japan, and when this book participated in the Ranpo Prize for the first time and was presented to the judges' desks, almost no one dared to give him a score.

The reason is also very simple. They have never seen this type of mystery novel and dare not draw a conclusion. After finally unanimously agreeing, Shimada Shoji became the big winner of that Ranpo Award, and from then on he completely introduced mystery literature into the world. The era of metamorphosis.

Kei Fujiwara, on the other hand, plans to make this name the most famous detective in the world.

After returning, Kei Fujiwara began to write.

In fact, Kei Fujiwara didn't want to go to so much trouble. Wouldn't it be easier to just write the original work of "The Detective Mitarai Collection"? But in fact, although the plot of the original work is amazing, as a novel, "Astrology Killing Magic" has serious shortcomings.

Shoji Shimada and Keigo Higashino are both masters of mystery novels, and in the evaluation of most mystery lovers, Shoji Shimada's historical status is always higher than Keigo Higashino.

One of the reasons why I say this is that Shoji Shimada is the founder of the Biange sect and has a very high historical status. However, Keigo Higashino never created a genre, and no matter how good he writes, he is just "picking up people's wisdom".

Secondly, in terms of conspiracy creation, Shimada Shoji's works are more experienced. "Astrology Killing Magic" was at its peak when it debuted and became one of the most amazing conspiracies in the history of Japanese mystery novels. And the trick of dismemberment involved in it also "spread its branches" in countless subsequent works. Among them are "The Detective Collection of Kindaichi" and "Young Boy Bao Qingtian".

The third is that Dongye's performance is really unstable. Although there are many masterpieces and good ones frequently, there are more bad ones, which lowers the overall creative level.

That's why Keigo Higashino's level is lower than Shoji Shimada's.

But in Kei Fujiwara's view, Keigo Higashino is better than Shoji Shimada in terms of "novelist".

Mystery novels are also novels, not puzzle games. Shimada Shoji's novels are extremely difficult to read in the early stage, and it is easy to make people feel boring.

Back then, Kei Fujiwara read the book "Astrology Killing Magic" four times and didn't read it. It was not until the fifth time that he finally read the book completely.

The beginning is a long and boring note, which makes people dazzled. The whole story is too long, and it is obvious that the whole story can be written in a shorter space.

And readers of this era have higher requirements for the fun of mystery novels, so Kei Fujiwara must modify Mitarai's appearance story.

The first case is not a big move like "Astrological Murder", but to lure the enemy deeper, and first use a small case to explore the way.

Kei Fujiwara decided to write the first case in Conan, "The Bandage Monster Murder Case", which was also an episode that left many people with a childhood shadow.

Kei Fujiwara first wrote an outline on the manuscript paper, and after some thought, he began to write.

Three days later, Fujiwara Kei gave the three beginnings he wrote to Itagaki Kazuhiko.

Itagaki Kazuhiko read all three opening chapters and said: "It's very good, but the second beginning seems to be better. Fujiwara Kei, how many chapters do you plan to write for the first case."

Kei Fujiwara said OK: "Three chapters."

Before Itagaki Kazuhiko could speak, Fujiwara Kei added: "The first case is just an appetizer. I will focus the narrative on the second case. The second story is "Astrology Killing Magic"."

"Is it killing people with super powers? Or is it a way of killing people disguised as super powers?"

"camouflage."

"Okay, I'm waiting for your follow-up chapters." Itagaki Kazuhiko put the manuscript into the document bag, "Then I'll go first. I want to submit the manuscript to the serialization meeting."

Today is different from the past. Kei Fujiwara no longer has to visit around with manuscripts. As long as he is willing, magazines all over Japan are queuing up to publish his works.

"Spring and Autumn Literature" was afraid that Kei Fujiwara would switch to others, so Nobu Kawaguchi contacted Kei Fujiwara a long time ago and promised that if Kei Fujiwara was willing to continue to cooperate with Spring and Autumn Society, he would directly give him 14% of the royalties without making a bet.

This is an extremely high royalty, which shows that Spring and Autumn Society has regarded him as a super best-selling author.

As for "White Night Walk", it has been at the top of the library sales list since it was released in October last year. It was not until late March this year that Mika Miyano's new work was released, and "White Night Walk" briefly fell to second place. It took a while, but after a month and a half, it returned to the top spot.

"White Night Walk" has been reprinted more than ten times, and its cumulative sales have exceeded one million copies.

"The Long Vacation" finally ushered in the broadcast of its last episode.

This episode almost catches all the housewives in Japan. Between nine and ten o'clock on Monday night, there are almost no young women on the usually bustling streets. Even some hypermarkets have discounts on the ninth day of the month, and only a few people participate. Not much.

When the audience saw Sena and Konan being late because they forgot to set the alarm clock, and running wildly on the road in their wedding dresses and suits on their wedding day, they finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Great, the hero and heroine are together.

As the two of them ran into the auditorium, this long vacation finally came to an end.

The next day, the ratings results were calculated. The average rating of the final episode of "Long Vacation" was 36.8%.

The average ratings of this TV series are as high as 30.9%, firmly occupying the top spot in the spring season, and becoming the twelfth-rated Japanese drama in history. Although it is not in the top ten in history, it is estimated to be the number one this year.

Originally, before the start of the spring war, "My Exes", which had the highest claim for the championship, was voted out by "Long Vacation" and unfortunately lost with an average viewership of 28.1%.

Moreover, "My Ex-Husbands" was still a weekend show, but it lost to the new dramas in the ordinary time slot of Yuejiu. The producers of "My Exes" were so angry that they didn't even hold a celebration party. On the day of the shutdown ceremony, everyone sat down and apologized to the cameras for wasting the hard work of the cameras.

But at the same time, the name Kei Fujiwara has spread to everyone in the broadcasting industry, and almost everyone is secretly asking when his next drama will appear.

Some people have made bold claims to defeat Kei Fujiwara head-on, while others feel that it is better to avoid them...

While the aftermath of the broadcasting world is still lingering, the reasoning world is once again in turmoil.

"Sima Keita's new work will be released soon! Please stay tuned!"

This line of words was printed on the cover of the Spring and Autumn Literature Appreciation in June. It was just one line of words.

There is no news about Sima Keita's new works in the official content of the magazine. However, many readers bought "Spring and Autumn Literature Appreciation" based on this one line. But after discovering that there was no content they wanted to see in the magazine, they began to curse Chunqiu Society engages in consumer fraud.

"You bastards!" An angry reader called the Spring and Autumn Society. "Since Sima Keita's works are not officially serialized, why do you print such a sentence on the cover?"

"Sorry, we just want to inform readers in advance..."

"You are obviously trying to trick us into buying your magazine!"

"terribly sorry……"

On online forums, there are also endless discussions about Sima Keita's new work.

"Will the new work be socialist? I'm really looking forward to it."

"I have a hunch that Mr. Sima Keita may bring a work that is completely different from "White Night Journey"."

"Could it be the Biange school? I really like the Biange school. I want to know what it would be like for the writer who wrote "White Night Walk" to bring his talent to the Biange school."

"I'm not optimistic about Sima Guitai's new novel, No Heroes of the Time, which made Shuzi famous. His new novel has only one function, to solve the excess paper in paper mills."

Minakami Yukie's fingers moved quickly on the keyboard.

After this period of scolding in the forum, his typing speed has become much faster.
