Tokyo bubble life

"Hi, just wait for my message."

Fangcun Dayu put down the phone, still a little dazed.

Itang Xiuyi asked from the side: "What's the matter? You look like you're out of control~"

"Xiu Yisang, what happened these days? Did I miss something?"

"Nani? Isn't it just filming "The Wonderful Story of the World"?" Shuichi Ido was curious, "Did something happen to Naoki-san?"

Fangcun Dayou patted his head a little funny: "I almost thought I was in the world of "Wonderful Stories of the World"~"

"Quickly tell me what happened, but Nuo Ya~" Yitang Xiuyi was attracted by Fangcun Dayu's words.

"Naoki-san, he"

Fangcun Dayu paused, "He said he wrote a novel and wanted someone to publish it."

"Nani?!"

Itou Shuichi was really surprised now.

"Although Naoki-san has always been unexpected, it's too exaggerated to write a novel in such a quiet way!"

Fangcun Dayu was also wondering: "I should have been with us all this time, and planned "Wonderful Stories of the World" in the middle, where did the time come from?"

"It can't be the same as the short story in Stranger Things, right?" Itang Xiu thought, "If it's this kind of horror and fantasy short story, it's still possible for Naoki-san."

"I don't know, but it seems to be a realistic novel for children.

But if you want to publish it, then the quality of the novel should still be okay~"

"Ah, then I can only read the manuscript."

Shuichi Itou and Otomo Fangcun's attempt to read the manuscript first must have failed.

Of course, the original is kept by myself as a souvenir.

Naoki Yongshan first readjusted some content in the novel that did not conform to the background of the times,

Then I transcribed the story on special manuscript paper,

In RB, there are certain standards for the submission of published manuscripts. If the format is not followed, the editor will not accept the manuscript.

These steps took Naoki Naoyama two days, and my hands hurt from writing.

Fangcun Otomo made an appointment with a senior editor named Morikawa Kuniji from the Shogakukan Co., Ltd.

The agreed day is still scorching sun,

Naoki Naoyama pulled up the hood of the sports car to barely have some shade.

The publishing house is located in Hitotsubashi, Chiyoda District, and is a member of the famous Hitotsubashi Publishing Group.

The company is actually not big, but in the greenery, it seems to make people feel the smell of ink, and the smell of books comes from that inconspicuous building, which makes the whole building feel sacred.

Shaking his head and getting rid of these fantasies in his mind, Naoki Naoyama walked into the publishing house.

The lady at the front desk is an intellectual woman with glasses. She was reading with her head down just now, but her eyes lit up when she looked up and saw Naoki Nagayama, and immediately put down the book:

"Good morning, welcome to Shogakukan. I am Reiki Nozawa at the front desk. How can I help you?"

"Good morning, I'm Naoki Nagayama who made an appointment with editor Kuniji Morikawa before."

"Hi, as long as you already have an appointment, please follow me." As he spoke, he was about to lead Naoki Yongshan to the meeting room.

Naoki Yongshan glanced at the title of the book on the front desk - "Confessions of a Mask"!

Sure enough, glasses girls have a wild heart!

After serving a cup of tea, Miss Reiki Nozawa went to inform Kuniji Morikawa,

Naoki Yongshan took a look in the meeting room, surrounded by books and magazines published by the Shogakukan,

There are also some weekly comics and so on.

Judging from the title and cover, it is indeed a book aimed at primary and secondary school groups, and Dayou Fangcun is really reliable.

Just as he was thinking, there was a knock on the door of the meeting room, and a gentle middle-aged man also wearing glasses walked in.

"I met you for the first time. I am the senior editor of the Shogakukan, Kuniji Morikawa."

He is also very kind when he speaks, maybe writers have such a style~

"Hi, first time meeting, I'm Naoki Nagayama." Standing up and bowing, he was too familiar.

After seeing the ceremony, both of them did it.

"After receiving Otomo-san's call, I thought it would be an older friend, but I didn't expect Yongshan-san to be so young."

"Haha, I met Otomo-san by chance, and thanks to him for helping me make an appointment with Morikawa-san this time."

"That's right, coincidence, is it all fate?"

After a few pleasantries,

"I heard that a novel has already been written, right? What kind of novel is it?"

"Hey, it's a realistic novel, a short novelette"

Naoki Yongshan handed over the document bag together with the manuscript, "It's about the interaction between the old man and three elementary school students."

"Then please allow me to take a look first, Yongshan-san, please wait a moment."

After Kuniji Morikawa took the manuscript, he read it directly.

These writers are really a bit blunt, and they really left Naoki Yongshan aside.

Naoki Yongshan couldn't help laughing, reached out to pick up a magazine next to him and read it,

The cicadas outside the window are still singing, the breeze is blowing, and the tea leaves in the middle teacup occasionally float,

The two who read quietly seemed to be drinking tea in a teahouse.

A short novel should not take a lot of time,

But Kuniji Morikawa read it very carefully, and sometimes he would turn the page back,

Said to take a look at it for a while, but in the end I actually watched it for more than an hour.

It wasn't until Nozawa Reiki knocked on the door and came in to add water that Morikawa Kuniji looked up from the manuscript,

After glancing at the clock on the wall, he immediately said:

"Private Marseille, Yongshan-sang, one accidentally threw himself into the novel."

"It's okay, Morikawa-san, I'm also reading your publications~"

After apologizing, Kuniji Morikawa said to Naoki Nagayama,

"Yongshan-sang, your novels are the best I have seen in recent years, to put it bluntly."

"It's too much of a compliment, Morikawa-san."

"It's definitely not an excessive compliment. Nagayama-san chose our publishing house and chose me as an editor. It's really arigato!" Kuniji Morikawa stood up and bowed.

Although I knew that this novel would be very popular in the future, I didn't expect to be so admired by the editor of the publishing house.

Naoki Yongshan also stood up:

"Morikawa-san, I don't know what to do with you. Since the editor thinks it's okay, let's discuss about publishing."

Speaking of business, Morikawa Kuniji calmed down,

"We definitely want to publish this novel, so I will tell the truth.

The general copyright allocation in the industry is 5%-10%, but high-quality books are generally negotiable.

Of course, the quality of Yongshan-san's novels is absolutely fine, but as a newcomer, he may not be able to get a higher share. "

Naoki Yongshan nodded: "I also understand this, but I also believe that the vision of your company will definitely not bury this novel."

The implication is that if the share is too low, then of course it is not enough vision.

Morikawa Kuniji thought for a while silently: "Nagayama-san, I need to fight with my superiors for this novel of yours, and I will definitely give you a satisfactory answer."

"Hey, please trouble Morikawa-san then."

After finishing the business, of course we have to talk about the creative concept, future development and so on. Until sending Naoki Nagayama out of the house, Kuniji Morikawa was very enthusiastic.

Of course, the manuscript is left in the primary school. As for the fear that the novel is too good to be copied by internal people and published in advance?

As long as this kind of thing happens,

The reputation accumulated by Xiaoxiaoguan for half a century is gone, so there is nothing to be afraid of.
