Tokyo Literary Godfather

Togada Nanako once again opened the forum for mystery enthusiasts.

Almost out of every ten posts on the forum, at least four of them discuss Sima Keita.

On the one hand, the influence of Sima Keita's "White Night Journey" has not dissipated. On the other hand, it is because of the collection of tricks he published in a documentary program not long ago, which temporarily attracted many mystery enthusiasts and even mystery writers. Serve as a model.

"I wonder who dares to say that Sima Guitai is not good at devising tricks."

"I am also a mystery writer. In my opinion, Sima Keita's behavior is simply too extravagant. It is very difficult to create these tricks, and he has no sense of confidentiality."

"Is it possible that designing a trick is a difficult thing for us, but it is very easy for him."

"Stop talking about it. My ideal is to become a mystery writer, but now I have lost a little confidence in entering the industry."

"Don't lose confidence. After all, not all mystery writers are at this level."

"It's really interesting that a socialist writer who is looked down upon by the Japanese writers surpasses most of the Japanese writers in terms of trickery and design. Is Mr. Sima Keita deliberately showing off his muscles to those who criticize him?"

"Oh, who can't talk about it in general terms? It's one thing to be able to create conspiracies and ideas, but it's another thing to be able to incorporate conspiracies into novels."

"You're right. I heard that Sima Keita has turned into a screenwriter. I guess it's because mystery novels are too difficult to write? If he writes a new work, his true level may be exposed."

"Not being jealous is mediocrity. Keita Sima is a uniquely talented writer, and time will prove this." After some consideration, Nanako Togada typed this sentence on the computer.

After Yukie Minamizu, who was dozens of kilometers away, saw this comment, he sneered and tapped on the keyboard with his hands:

"At first glance, they are young readers without literary literacy and social experience. It is because there are too many people like you that people like Sima Guitai with no creative talent emerged. It is a pity that the mystery literary world has declined a lot now. Twenty years ago, when mystery literature was at its peak, his works were only worthy of being used as table legs!"

Yukie Minakami has limited talent in novels, but he has extraordinary talent in trolling.

Togada Nanako replied unconvinced: "I am not a young reader. I am already forty-five years old."

"Haha, there is a smell of milk in the words, stop pretending."

Seeing that the other party stopped replying, Yukie Minakami closed the forum with satisfaction. There were two manuscripts on the table, one of which was a book review and the other was his latest novel.

One-third of this fresh book review is still directed at Kei Fujiwara, "Recently, a TV series written by Keita Shima was aired. Last time I bluntly stated in the article that if Keita Shima is not good at shaping As a trick, I suggested that he write romance novels. It seems that he has deeply considered my suggestions and can listen to the sincere suggestions of others, which is also an advantage. "

He folded this book review and prepared to send it to the newspaper tomorrow. The manuscript on the right is also his latest one. The first chapter has been published and this is the content of the second chapter.

Since the last creative crash, the original trick can no longer be used. In desperation, Yukie Minakami had to re-imagine the content of the novel.

This time, he planned to adopt a "change style" writing method and focus on character creation. For this reason, he carefully designed two character images, one is a chuunibyou and the other is a perverted murderer.

Minami Yukie said: Although the new story setting is much weaker in the creation of intrigues, it can still attract readers through charming characters.

He stood up, stretched his waist, then picked up the "Spring and Autumn Literature Appreciation" just released today from the desk, opened it and started reading.

He opened the directory and a line of text came into view.

"Character Creation in Mystery Novels—Excerpts from Sima Keita's Study Course"

Yukie Minakami swallowed subconsciously. Since the last time Sima Keita ruined his new novel with one sentence on the TV station, his hatred for Sima Keita has become stronger, but at the same time he also has a hint of fear.

"Forget it, what are you afraid of? What else can he say this time? Could it be that he can still collide with my trick this time?" Yukie Minakami comforted himself and then opened the page.

This page talks about some thoughts and feelings about the character creation in the novel. As Minami Yukie read it, he made a sound of disdain, but he subconsciously wrote down the content of the article silently.

It wasn't until the end of the article that Xing Jiang's expression suddenly changed.

"Finally, let me tell you that many authors now have a bad habit in character creation. You should pay attention to avoid it. That is to create perverted characters and chuunibyou characters. They seem to have distinctive personalities, but in fact they are downright stupid. This is A trick that is only used when technical capabilities are not met.”

Mizugami Xingjiang stared at those few lines of words, his eyes could not wait to bleed.

This guy seems to be deliberately sniping him...

After this article is published, if his novel is still written according to the original idea, it will definitely be ridiculed by readers.

This guy might have done it on purpose.

Mizukami Xingjiang gripped the pages of the magazine on both sides, pulled it violently, tore the magazine in half, then squatted on the ground, scratching her hair in distress.

It seems that the second chapter will be rewritten, not only that, but the outline of the entire book will be changed...

Damn Sima Guitai!

…

The third episode was also aired quickly, and the ratings dropped slightly by a few tenths, but this is normal.

The overall situation is stable and improving.

The crew, both the work team and the creative team, were all excited, and the employees' motivation was immediately aroused.

It's late May now, and the spring season is coming to an end. So far, only a handful of spring season battlefields can compete with the early "Long Vacation".

The biggest rival so far is "My Exes," a weekend family drama broadcast by Japanese broadcaster NBC. This drama also has high ratings, but it is still slightly lower than "Holiday."

Kei Fujiwara has watched this TV series. The main audience is housewives and middle-aged women. These people are easily robbed by "Long Days Vacation". However, the basic base of young viewers of "Long Days Vacation" is not easily attracted by this TV series. The drama was leveraged.

So Fujiwara Kei is not too worried.

Now the entire crew is united from top to bottom, vowing to win this spring battle and even win the championship throughout the year. You know, before the filming of this drama started, their goal was just to enter the top ten in the spring season. Now the goal has become much more ambitious.

They are not worried that the ratings will drop significantly, because it is unlikely that the few people on the creative team, especially the most important screenwriter and director, are as steady as old dogs, so the ratings should not be There will be big fluctuations.

Unless there is a plane crash in the sky, and the plane falls directly into Mizunami Productions, killing all the creative team, and it must also kill Kei Fujiwara, otherwise the final result of this drama will not be better than it is now. Too much difference.

As for "Tsukihime" next door... Although Sato Wataru has made changes, he still cannot save the decline. There was a particularly big drop in the ratings for the third episode, which was already below 20%.

When Mizuhara Yui went to the TV station to hold a producer meeting, he met him and found that this person had a bad complexion recently, and a look of sadness appeared on his usually high-spirited face.
