Riyu's Back File 2011

After thinking about it, perhaps the most feasible thing is writing.In addition, writers have a high status in RB, and the income from royalties and manuscript fees is not low.

Miyazaki Sosuke's plan is to find a way to write a quality novel and hit the two new humanities awards sponsored by the "Literature Spring and Autumn" magazine. To be precise, the "Akutagawa Ryunosuke Award".RB’s most familiar literary awards are the "Akutagawa Award" and the "Naoki Award". The Akutagawa Award is to commemorate the literary award established by the writer Akutagawa Ryunosuke of the RB Taisho era. An award for purely literary newcomers. Later, due to the pressure of public opinion, the organizer was changed to RB Literature Promotion Association, and selection activities were held twice a year.

The Zi Naoki Award is a literary award established in 1935 by Hiroshi Kikuchi, the founder of Art Spring and Autumn, to commemorate his friend Naoki Thirty-five.It is also awarded twice a year, and the winners are mainly the core writers of popular works.Famous writers Sima Ryotaro, Miyabe Miyuki, Kyogoku Natsuhiko, and Higashino Keigo are all winners of this award.

The Akutagawa Prize focuses on pure literary works, and the Naoki Prize focuses on popular literary works.The Akutagawa Prize is aimed at encouraging newcomers, while the Naoki Prize is an affirmation for popular literature writers who have published books.Usually the Akutagawa Prize is for serious literature, while the Naoki Prize is for popular literature.

For RB writers, no matter which one they get, it is a great honor. The work that Miyazaki Sosuke chose to plagiarize this time is "Spark" from Naoki Makiyoshi, which is also the winning work of the 153rd Akutagawa Prize Every time he took a plane in his previous life, he always took a copy of "Spark" with him, which he loved very much.

With this book, Yuyoshi Naoki also became the author of RB sales second only to Haruki Murakami.It was later adapted into a TV series by Netflix.

Under normal circumstances, the sales of Akutagawa Prize works for serious literature are not high, and "Spark" is an exception.As for whether Yuyoshi Naoki will sink, the lack of a masterpiece will definitely have a certain blow to his writing career, but it is OK to give him back when he develops.

"Spark" is a realistic work. The original author Yuyoshi Naoki is a comedian, and most of his works are written around the themes of comedians and comics.So after thinking about it, Miyazawa decided to go to the bookstore to buy some serious literature to learn, and then go to the small theater to watch two comics, get acquainted, and at least become an enthusiastic audience, so that he can have an excuse for future interviews.

Imagine, "Mr. Miyazaki, what kind of opportunity led you to create a manga-themed work?" If the reporter asks, "Well, I usually like to watch some comics, and I often go to the small theater to see some comics. The performance of the combination, because I found that certain characteristics of the mancai master's profession made me indulged, so I thought of creating a protagonist with a down-and-out mancai master." Such a reply can explain that art comes from life.

Sitting on the tram, Miyazaki Aosuke imagined that his life after becoming a writer seemed to be much better than being a social animal. Even Merrill Lynch Goldman Sachs’ social animal is ultimately a social animal.

"The future may be even more beautiful!" The afternoon sun passed through the tram and splashed on Miyazaki's face, squinting his eyes full of confidence in the future.

######

The spring in Tokyo was still a bit chilly, so I dropped the tram and quickly walked into the bookstore. Looking at the dazzling collection of bookshelves, Miyazaki Cangsuke began to carefully select.

He is going to look for two works that were appreciated by Akutagawa, and choose two books by the way to pass the time.For the rest of this time, Miyazaki Sosuke has no entertainment activities except for writing and reading.In short, it means being poor. Tokyo, where everything costs money, always shows a harsh side to the poor.

Holding Aoyama Qie’s "Good Weather for One" and "Window Light" in her hand, the former is the work of Aoyama Qie in 2005 or the Akutagawa Award, making her the third youngest female winner in the history of Akuyama. It is also very interesting to say that Miyazaki's potential rival, Shintaro Ishihara also won the Akutagawa Award at the age of 23, and "Window Light" is Aoyama's debut.

I was about to move to Uchimurakami's work area to learn about the best-selling works. A sudden collision from behind caused Miyazaki Aosuke to stagger, and the book in his hand was also thrown on the ground.

"Ah, sorry sir, I didn't mean it." Miyazaki Aosuke was about to turn around to see who was so reckless. As soon as he turned his head halfway, he heard an apology and the girl's voice was a little panic.

Turning around, he saw a short-haired girl putting the books in her hands on a platform protruding from the shelf, squatting down to help him pick up the fallen books.The girl was wearing a light blue sweater that was a little worn out, and was slightly whitish because she had washed it many times. She seemed to come in a little hurriedly, carrying the air-conditioning of Tokyo outside the door.

When Miyazaki saw the girl squatting down, instead of rushing to pick up the fallen book, Miyazaki picked up the book that the girl had just put down and looked at it.

"Hello sir, I'm really sorry. This is the book you dropped." The girl stood up and gave the book place to Miyazaki Cangsuke, only to see the other person reading the book she just bought.

"Do you like Murakami Haruki very much?" Miyazaki conveniently put aside the book sent by the other party, but closed the other party's book, and asked the girl with the title of the book "Norwegian Forest" on the cover.

"Sorry, should I ask if you bought it for yourself?" The girl heard the other party's question, somewhat inexplicably.But looking at Miyazaki Sosuke wearing a brown trench coat, his appearance is also very young and he doesn't look bad, but the problem is very strange.

"Yes, I like Murakami very much. I have read a lot of his books." The girl's affirmative answer made Miyazaki Sosuke suddenly interested, "Oh, that's really a good interest. You must know that young people are already I rarely like to read. The Internet has become their first interest."

"But, sir, aren't you also a young man?" As a result, Miyazaki Aosuke handed it "Norwegian Forest". The words of the other party made her secretly happy.

"I'm not a normal young man." Miyazaki Cangsuke calmly picked up his book and patted the non-existent floating soil.

"Normal people can't say what your husband said." The girl was a little bit amused, and her words stabbed a little.

"My normality is that I understand my abnormalities." Miyazaki smiled, and stretched out his hand to the other party, "When we meet for the first time, please advise!"

"My name is Hashimoto Nana, please give me more advice!" The girl was taken aback for a while and she reacted. The other party's words were quoted from "Norwegian Forest". She held the book in her arms with her left hand, and reached out to hold Miyazaki Aosuke with her right hand. .

"Are you going to check out?" Miyazaki Sosuke asked with a book.

"Yes, I happened to encounter a discount on approved books, so I wanted to choose some books I like to take back."

"Let's go together, I happen to be going to checkout." The two walked side by side to the checkout counter, slightly separated by half a meter, and talked as they walked.

……………

"Does Miyazaki-kun like Murakami Haruki too?" Nami Hashimoto asked when they walked to the cash register, "This is the first time I have seen someone like Miyazaki-kun."

"Yes, he is the goal of my study." Miyazaki Sosuke replied.

"Is Miyazaki-kun a writer? So I want to learn from Haruki Murakami?" Hashimoto continued to ask, turning into a hundred thousand why girls.

"Not yet." Miyazaki Cangsuke handed the book to the cashier.

"I see, I hope you can succeed!" Nana Hashimoto heard Miyazaki Sosuke's words, thinking that Miyazaki Sosuke is a person whose dreams are as an author, so he encouraged Miyazaki Sosuke.

"I borrow your good words." Miyazaki collected the book, "Then, take the liberty to ask, can I still contact you in the future? It's a pleasure to chat with Hashimoto-san."

"Well, if I can see you next time!" Nana Hashimoto was asked for contact information for the first time since he came to Beijing. He hesitated for a few seconds or decided not to give it to the other party for the time being, "Goodbye, Miyazaki-kun."

"Goodbye, I think we should meet again. Next time we meet, I hope to discuss with Hashimoto-san." Miyazaki Sosuke replied confidently.

"Why? Tokyo is so big." Hashimoto, who had settled the bill and was about to leave, asked strangely when he saw how confident the other party was."Why are you so sure?"

"An intuition!" Miyazaki blinked mysteriously, "Then, see you next time!"

After speaking, Miyazaki Sosuke got on the train and watched Hashimoto through the window holding a book on the platform waiting for the car to Adachi. The two looked at each other through the window until they were out of sight.

"What a weird person." Hashimoto muttered to himself. The Tokyoites who came up to meet were all taciturn, and he gradually became silent because the pressure of life was exploiting everyone in Tokyo. This was the first time. When I meet someone, I will talk to her about books and literature.

Time flies, Tokyo’s lights are still bright.

Miyazaki Aosuke sat on the tram, thinking silently in his heart that it has been a month since the last bookstore meeting, and the novella "Flower Fire" has also been written. This time he went to the Literature and Art Spring and Autumn Magazine to contribute.Speaking of it, the conservative society of RB still retains the habit of authors personally submitting manuscripts. Unless the author is really far away or it is really inconvenient, he has to submit the manuscript by letter or other methods, and the rest of the people will go to the editorial office in person. The habit of meeting with editors and submitting manuscripts face-to-face still existed until the rebirth. Even though the RB Internet was already very developed at that time, the editorial agency would still strictly require authors to provide manuscripts. On the one hand, it was to prove that the author’s work was original. It is very strong evidence. On the other hand, because RB's manuscript paper has certain specifications, the number of words on each manuscript paper is relatively stable, and the editor's remuneration is often calculated according to the number of manuscript papers.

Moreover, RB's manuscript fee is much higher than that in China. After the work is adopted by the editorial agency, a piece of 400-character manuscript paper, newcomers can generally receive a manuscript fee of about 5,000 yen, which is equivalent to 12,000 yen per 1,000 words. If there is a fixed column of about 1,600 words per day, the income will be 20,000 yen, which can generally be serialized for about two months.And if you are a senior writer, or won a literary award such as Naoki or Akutagawa, the maximum manuscript fee will rise to 50,000 yen per thousand words, and you can earn 80,000 yen for the content of one day, which does not include Junichi Watanabe For such a great writer, his income per manuscript paper is 50,000 yen, which is equivalent to 120,000 per thousand words, and a column per day is 200,000 yen.

"Even if you use a piece of manuscript paper of 5,000 to calculate, "Spark" can earn a minimum of 750,000 yen as long as it is published, and this includes future royalties. If it is calculated at three million, I will publish it." The corners of Miyazaki's mouth split at the thought of his first pot of gold.RB’s stamp duty is about 10%. According to a novel price of 2,000 yen, each book can get 200 yen in royalties. Three million copies are 600 million yen in revenue, although this is continuous. A few years of sales, but also enough for Miyazaki Cangsuke's reverie.Especially this work can be changed into a TV series in the future, which is an additional income.

When Miyazaki Aosuke got off the bus, he did not go directly to the Literature and Art Spring and Autumn Magazine, but walked to a cafe on the side.Miyazaki Aosuke has not done nothing this month except for writing.After her mother returned to Gunma, her grandfather's family asked her what she thought and arranged for her to work in a gallery in Gunma.On the other hand, Miyazaki Sosuke received a living allowance every month, and the 30 million loan was also paid off by his grandfather's family. After his life stabilized, Miyazaki Sosuke contacted a senior who graduated from the University of Tokyo. The Murai Ken, who has worked in Literature and Art Spring and Autumn for three years, is considered a newcomer in the literary and art world.

"Miyazaki-san, here. Is it coffee or wine?" Murai Ken, who was tasting coffee in the corner, saw Miyazaki Cousuke opening the door and beckoning him to come to him.

"It seems that Murai-san's life is going well. Compared to the last time I met, I feel a little blessed. Haha." Miyazaki Sosuke and Murai Ken have both joined the Toda Performance Club. Saki Cangsuke met Murai Ken, and the two people matched each other's personalities. With Miyazaki Cangsuke's generous hands, they became close friends and often had fun.

"Does Miyazaki-san want to complain? Murai's mother can still cry in Miyazaki-san's arms." Murai Ken didn't mind at all, but instead teased Miyazaki Sosuke.When Miyazaki Sosuke contacted him before, he also expressed concern about Miyazaki Sosuke’s emotions, fearing that Miyazaki Sosuke would become depressed due to the drastic changes in his family, but after the two talked, he found that Miyazaki Sosuke was not depressed. Instead, he wrote the novel enthusiastically, asking him to hold his hands.

After gradually receiving the manuscript of "Spark" in the past few weeks, Ken Murai was disapproving from the beginning, thinking that Miyazaki Cousuke was just writing and writing books, just like the two before learning drag racing and car modification. Later, as the plot of "Spark" gradually developed, I was shocked by Miyazaki's writing and plot.The text of "Spark" seems to have too much shadow of Osamu Dazai, but the description of the literary style is very meticulous. The writing style is sophisticated and does not want newcomers. It has a sense of refinement and precision. The expression of literary details exceeds the structure of the story. .The most important thing is that this is the first novel with talented artists as the subject. If successful, it is very likely to open up a new writing landscape, that is, the novel can be written into the lives of these people.

### Chapter 5 Literary Spring and Autumn and Akuta Chuan Tour###

"Murai-san, after reading the whole book, what's your opinion?" Miyazaki ordered a cup of coffee and sat opposite Murai Ken. On the table were all the manuscripts of "Spark".

"Does Miyazaki-san have any thoughts? "Spark" is a work that can change the RB literary world. This is my evaluation of him." Murai said seriously, "The current RB literary world is already in stagnant water. "Spark" can inject new spring into the old RB literary world."

"The subject matter of the novel is very important. The current RB literary world is overwhelmed by the themes that have been written badly. It has entered a strategic astray. It is a very important question whether to go first in technology or in themes. "Murai Ken took a sip of coffee and talked freely to Miyazaki Sosuke.

"If the subject matter is not good, this thing will fail, no matter how technically it is. On the contrary, if the subject matter is successful, even if the technique is weaker, he is likely to bring the whole work. So I think "Spark" can give RB The literary world brings new horizons."

"So, what if I want to sprint for the Akutagawa reward in the first half of the year? Murai-san." Miyazaki Sosuke until the book "Spark" brought much shock and influence to the RB literary world, he said unceremoniously, "Spark" "Is a work that can create an era.

"If you don't want to win the Akutagawa Award, I would find it strange." Murai Ken was a little excited, on the one hand because he was able to see such an excellent work of "Spark", on the other hand, there is no doubt that Miyazaki Aosuke's book The editor will be himself, able to publish this book, and his resume will be enriched. In the future, it may not be the newcomer Murai Ken, but the teacher Murai Ken.
