Riyu's Back File 2011

"Let me introduce you to everyone. This is Aosuke Miyazaki, the author of "Spark" and the nominee for the Akutagawa Awards. This is Miyazaki-san's female companion, Miss Hill, the vice president of Goldman Sachs." Chubu Jiaren was also startled when he heard Hanada Tomoko say that Miyazaki Sosuke’s female partner is the vice president of Goldman Sachs, but he was not rude. Seeing Miyazaki Sosuke and his female partner came, he turned to Several people on the side introduced it.

RB is a society controlled by chaebol capital, and the publishing industry is also dominated by the four major chaebols.For example, the Hitotsubashi Group mentioned in the previous article is owned by the Aiga family. It has Shogakukan, Shueisha and Shiraisensha that split from Shogakukan, and the Otowa Group led by the Noma family. The subordinates of the group are in addition to Kodansha. In addition to publishing houses such as Wakobunsha, KingRecords, Kobunsha, and Nikkan Hyundai are all members of the Otowa Group (wa ); the rest is the Kadokawa Group of the Kadokawa family that everyone is relatively familiar with, and its subsidiary Kadokawa Bookstore Dingding It is well-known, and the new wave group with the Sato family is famous for publishing literature and art books. For example, Mishima Yukio and Kawabata Yasuo became famous because of the discovery of the new wave club.

As one of the few independent publishing houses in RB that has survived fairly well, Literary Spring and Autumn Publishing House knows its own affairs.Although Wenchun Spring and Autumn Magazine also has publishing brands such as Wenchun New Book and Wenchun Book Bank, and there are many authors who have won the Akutagawa Award and Naoki Award, but it is the same sentence. Flow down.After these authors are awarded, they are often attracted by the four major groups.The baby raised by oneself, when he grows up, he takes refuge in the richer father. This is the current situation of Literary Spring and Autumn.Therefore, I said before that for Chubu Jiaren, the reason why Miyazaki Sosuke is the most important person is because of the literary spring and autumn aspect who wants to keep this new best-selling author.

"Hilsan is really young and promising." It was Miiichi Tamura, director of the Kadokawa Group, who was also misled by the vague words of Chubu Jiaren.Lamenting that a young man can actually be at the same level as a vice president, which makes people feel resigned.His words drew praise from a few people, and several publishing industry leaders were all lamenting that the waves were too fierce.

"You guys are joking, I'm just Miyazaki-san's little subordinate. Miyazaki-san is the top of our Goldman Sachs Group. I will be promoted to partner next month." Hill did not explain when he heard the words of a group of old men. What, after all, in her opinion, these people are not customers, and they do not pay themselves. They are still so greasy. Maybe they are not high in their salary, and there is no need to explain.It's just that the boss is on the sidelines, so naturally he has to turn his attention to the boss, he is only a supporting role, this is the consciousness of being a subordinate.

"Oh, really? It seems that Miyazaki-san is not only able to write such an excellent work as "Spark", but also an excellent entrepreneur." When Matura Tamura heard Hill's words, he really couldn't understand the other party. What rank, or even what rank the partners are, whether they are responsible for the operation of the company.But it doesn't matter, as long as you know that Miyazaki's status is not low, it's enough. If you don't understand, you can ask more about it later, the rainbow pat.After all, this time, he will also shoulder the task of continuing to dig the corner of literature and art.

A few people exchanged greetings, not that you praised me for being young and promising, I praised you for being old and firm, you praised me for my decent suits, and I praised you for the artistic flavor of the Mediterranean.The so-called ineffective social interaction is this type.

Just when Miyazaki Aosuke could not bear the rumors of these people, the staff at the venue finally informed that the award ceremony was about to begin.So Miyazaki Sosuke could not wait to say goodbye to the few, and followed the staff to the front row of the venue. As candidates for the Akutagawa Award, Miyazaki Sosuke and several candidates were arranged in the front row of the venue to facilitate the acceptance of the rostrum. Filming by reporters on the ground.

As the Akutagawa and Naoki Awards are not only RB literary events, they also have great social influence. Not only NHK sent a film crew to broadcast the award ceremony, but also reporters from the five major TV stations and some overseas media such as Bloomberg.

######

At eight o'clock in the evening, the 145th Akutagawa Ryunosuke Award and Naoki Thirty Five Award Ceremony of the Literature Promotion Association officially began.First of all, Toru Ueno, chairman of the Literature Promotion Association, gave a speech. This man first reviewed some hot events in the RB literary world in the past six months, and then handed over to the secretary-general to take the stage and announce the nominated works and candidates.Finally, the winners of the previous Akutagawa Award and Naoki Award will present awards for the winners.

Just after the Secretary-General finished his speech, the front row candidates became serious.Although the Akutagawa Award and the Naoki Award are nominally established to encourage newcomers, they have undergone various changes after a long period of development.

The Akutagawa Award's criteria for defining newcomers have been questioned.The 39th Akutagawa Award in the first half of 1958 was awarded to Kensaburo Oe, who has swept the literary world and gained fame.Although there have been many precedents for the Akutagawa Prize, the news immediately caused an uproar in the public opinion.Haruo Sato, who also serves as a judge, officially announced to the outside world: "The Akutagawa Award will no longer be an award for the so-called "Rookie Dragon Gate" from now on, but an award that affirms that new writers have established their status in the literary world."

Since then, many writers who have been in the literary world for many years and won many well-known awards have been awarded the Akutagawa Prize.The award winner in the second half of 2004 has been more than ten years since his debut, and the well-known author Kazusou Abe, who has won many authoritative awards such as the Ito Literature Award and the Daily Publishing Culture Award, said publicly: "The mood is very complicated. This is clearly for newcomers. Awards, there is no way to feel happy for granted."

The Naoki Award is to give an honor to popular literature writers who have published books. The selection objects are articles and pamphlets published in magazines. Therefore, if only authors who have published works in magazines, they are still newcomers here. The author, developed to the present, not only encourages newcomers, but also the most important authors of popular works.Just like Keigo Higashino failed the Naoki Award five times, and even the "White Night Walk" was not selected, and finally won the Naoki Award in 2006 with the pinnacle work "Devotion of Suspect X".Although one of the judges, Junichi Watanabe, did everything in order to prevent Keigo Higashino from winning the prize, but it can also be a glimpse of the RB literature world.

When the winners of the 144th Akutagawa Award, Asafuki and Kenta Nishimura stepped onto the podium, Miyazaki Aosuke was a little nervous.Yes, Akutagawa Sho also likes to make double egg yolks this disgusting thing, the original exclusive honor has become half, and the happiness that can be obtained has also become half.

"Then the winner of the Akutagawa Award this time is." Kenta Nishimura finished the first half of the sentence, and the gentleman gave the second half to Mariko Asuka.

"Miyazaki Cangsuke, "Spark", Literature and Art Spring and Autumn Publishing House." Asaki Mariko did not delay, and directly pronounced the name of the winner.Soon the announcement of the final winners excited the reporters in the audience. This was when the Akutagawa Awards selected the young writer, Aosuke Miyazaki, after the 2004 winner Hitomi Kimahara, after a lapse of seven years. He is 22 years old and ranks the third youngest among all previous Akutagawa Prize winners.

"I am very happy to receive the Akutagawa Award. I am very grateful to the judges of the Literary Promotion Association for their recognition and recognition of me and "Spark". I also thank Literary Chunqiu Publishing House for supporting me." As Literary Chunqiu has been hinting, Gong Saki Cangsuke had already prepared the award speech.There is no such thing as the old man Shintaro Ishihara who scolded people after winning the prize, clamoring that "RB literary circles are all eunuchs", so there is no reason why Governor Ishihara is hated by others.

Wearing a customized suit, he is not like a writer but an actor under the shooting of the media.This is not the award of the Akutagawa Award, but the award of the RB Film Academy Award.

As a result, the reporters became even more excited. The handsome young winners have already thought about the headlines of tomorrow's newspapers. "Son of the Sinner Receives Akutagawa Award" can definitely arouse a new upsurge.This kind of news is the favorite of RB society, or the world's favorite is this kind of news, such as the Nobel Prize winners who walked out of the workshop and the Akutagawa prize winners who work in convenience stores.Soaring silently into the sky, it is a very attractive gaze in itself. If coupled with a tragic life experience, it is almost a match with a good voice, and it is almost like "Do you have any dreams?"

At the reception after the awards, Miyazaki Cangsuke finally knew what it meant by "spring breeze proud of horseshoes, and became famous in one fell swoop." There seemed to be something wrong?Just turning around the venue, Hill held a thick stack of business cards in his hand, including the heads of the four major publishing houses, as well as the business cards of the editors and writers of major magazines. There are also producers of TV and radio programs.Why are there TV and radio producers? Because TV and radio programs often require some literati to write texts and scripts for them, they are also closely connected with the literary circle.

Since Miyazaki Aosuke did not have a business card, Hill, the assistant, came forward and exchanged business cards. Her name as the vice president of Goldman Sachs caused people in the venue to sigh, and the director above it. Manager, that's an unimaginable big man.The old people in the circle who were still somewhat reserved have lowered their stance.Hill also played the role of an assistant very well. For valuable people, such as the heads of the four major publishing groups, he took out his business cards and gave them to each other. As for some small roles, he took it with a smile. The business card, but did not take out the business card to exchange, sent away the other party in a few words, and helped Miyazaki to push away a lot of invalid social interaction.This kind of action made the people in the venue respect Miyazaki Sosuke more. They really regarded him as a corporate executive, not a newcomer in the literary world, and completely let go of their contempt for Miyazaki Sosuke.So people, sometimes they are really cheap, and you don’t care about him, but you can gain respect. Isn’t this the content of dog-licking psychology?

As for the magazines and news media, they were even more excited. I didn't expect that the winner of the Akutagawa Award would actually break a big news on the spot. Therefore, tomorrow's newspaper may not be enough for one page. At least two pages are needed to make a big show.

"Jie-chan!" Just when Miyazaki Cangsuke and Hill's social interaction came to an end, while resting in a corner of the banquet hall, I suddenly heard someone calling me behind him. Looking back, I found that it was Tangzawa Qianjia wearing black. His father Tang Zeyingtai stood aside in his evening dress.

"Uncle Tangze, Xiaoqian, it's been a long time." Miyazaki Cangsuke hurriedly got up and greeted the two of them. He was still surprised at the appearance of the two on this occasion.Generally speaking, the top executives of major TV stations rarely come to gatherings in the literary circle, and often only the producers will come to socialize.

"I asked my father to see Jiejiang. I didn't expect to see Jiejiang for only half a month. Jiejiang has changed a lot!" Tang Ze Qianjia explained Tang Ze Yingtai's arm with her right hand.

### Chapter 33 The Life and Death of Ginza###

"Unexpectedly, Miyazaki, you would be able to get to this point. I think Ichiro Izumi would be pleased to know it." Tang Zeying took a glass of champagne and talked with Miyazaki Sosuke in the lounge next to the banquet hall. The two watched Hill and Tang Ze Qianjia shared a hundred secrets of women's maintenance on the opposite sofa, twittering like two ducks.

"Thanks to my uncle's help, "Spark" was able to be adapted into a TV series, which caused such a high level of social enthusiasm. In the end, it helped me win the Akutagawa Award." Miyazaki Aosuke seemed not worth mentioning his efforts and humbled himself in front of the elders. There is nothing wrong.

"Haha, I'm not talking about Akutagawa rewards. You can occupy a place at Goldman Sachs. It can be seen that you must have certain talents in the investment field that are valued. I don't know what happened in the past half month, but I think even Your father couldn't do this in the first place. So I am proud of you." Tang Zeyingtai sighed with satisfaction.As an employee of RB TV for more than 20 years, he has been promoted step by step from an ordinary employee in the production department to a group executive director. Although part of the reason is due to his father-in-law, he naturally knows what it means to reach the sky like Miyazaki Aosuke. .

The two chatted for a while until the dinner was over before they parted.Just as Miyazaki Sosuke was about to take Hill away from the banquet, the director of the Kadokawa Group, Tamura Matsuri, stepped in from the side.

"Miyazaki-san, do you have time to accompany me to Yixin in Ginza by the way. At this time, the nightlife has just begun." Tamura Matsuri said one by one. Even if the old driver is an old driver, Yixin Nightclub is a top club in Ginza. Women are all good at trying to figure out the minds of men, and they are considerate. They have high consumption, with hundreds of thousands of yen. They are also the choice of many company executives for socializing.

If Miyazaki Sosuke is just an ordinary newcomer writer, even if he is awarded the Akutagawa Award or Naoki Award, then it is very likely that only a senior editor will come forward, and then find a cafe or small bar, and set the conditions slowly chat.

But in addition to his identity as a writer, Miyazaki Cōsuke also has the title of managing director of Goldman Sachs, which makes his authorship a ticket.This also makes several major publishing groups that want to dig people have to send higher-ranking people to talk to him, and it comes up as a sales gold cave like Yixin Club, which is the so-called peer-to-peer reception.

Presumably guessing Tamura's purpose, Miyazaki Sosuke sent Hill and the driver away and told them to pick up after receiving a call from him.I went to the Cadillac of Miichi Tamura, and within a few minutes, I turned to the Yishin Club in Ginza.

Ginza at night is the world of women.As soon as the two entered the club, the club’s mother, Sangbaisaka Aki, wore a black and white kimono, and walked up to entertain him by two steps.Miyazaki Cangsuke also smelled a faint smell of alcohol from the opponent.

This is also an anecdote. Aki Shirasaka has worked in Ginza for nearly 30 years. Aki Shirasaka, who has turned from a wine girl to a mother, is actually very afraid of life. Before the opening of a nightclub, he will drink two glasses to help him enter the state. Otherwise, you will get nervous when you meet a few guests.That's why Miyazaki Sosuke asked her about the faint taste of wine, and it was Shirasaka Aki who drank four times the wine before warming up.

"Director Tamura, it’s been a long time since I saw you come to patronize us. Is it the woman outside who stole your heart?" Shirasaka Aki teased at Tamura Tamura as soon as he came up. Obviously Tamura Tamura is a regular customer here. , The two have a very good relationship.

"Where, there are a lot of things in the company recently, and I have been working overtime. You see that I am free, don't you come to patronize? I also brought you a big customer." Tamura Ma made a simple sentence. Turned to introduce Shirasaka Aki to Miyazaki Sosuke, and then said to Shirasaka Aki, "This is the Miyazaki director of the Goldman Sachs Group. He is also a great writer who just won the Akutagawa Award."

"Director Miyazaki is really young and promising. He can meet you and grow by the side of Qiongzhi. Even if he can't refresh himself from time to time, he can be praised by you. Please come often in the future." Shirasaka Aki heard of Tamura. At first, I was a little shocked by Miyazaki Cousuke’s identity, but immediately reflected that he admired Miyazaki Cousuke. After speaking, he gave an ancient gift to Miyazaki Cousuke slightly. Miyazaki Cousuke was taken aback. For a moment.

Shirasaka Aki is worthy of being an old man who has been in Ginza for nearly 30 years. He knows what to say when he knows who he meets.For old men like Matura Tamura, what they like most is listening to young girls holding her hand and saying, "We must have been lovers in the past."But when you encounter a freak like Miyazaki Cangsuke, you can't judge it with common sense, and you have to go out of the slope and win with odds.Sure enough, Miyazaki Sosuke was surprised by Shirasaka Aki's performance. If it was a systemic flow, Shirasaka Aki would see Miyazaki Aosuke's "favorite score plus 20" on his head.

As soon as Tamura Ma saw that Miyazaki Sosuke was surprised by Shirasaka Aki’s performance, he laughed and explained to Miyazaki Sosuke, “Don’t think that mom San is an old man in Ginza. She was born in Kyoto and graduated. The talented girl in Waseda has extraordinary knowledge. Otherwise, how could she bring her wholeheartedness to this point."

The words of Tamura Tamura made Miyazaki Aki instead interested in this Shirasaka Aki. The average life span of a Ginza club is five months, and after a new club retired from Shirasaka Aki at the age of 29 and became his mother San, He has survived tenaciously until now, and he has lived for more than 20 years.

"I will come often when I have the opportunity in the future. Mother Sang is really interesting." After listening to Tamura's explanation, Miyazaki's face recovered, with a faint smile.

Seeing that Miyazaki was interested in Shirasaka Aki, in subsequent chats, Tamura Matura deliberately told a lot about Shirasaka Aki.Miyazaki Sosuke heard the story about Shirasaka Aki slowly told by Tamura, and he admired the strange girl Shirasaka Aki even more.

Mothers like Aki Shirasaka must have amazing abilities in addition to beauty. They can memorize the personal information of thousands of guests, including their birthdays, family status, and the type of girls they like. I can react quickly when I see someone.

In addition to patiently remembering the information of the guests, they also have to carefully observe the guests and push the guests' thoughts.The club in Ginza is a recreational place and a social place for businessmen. If you feel that the acquaintance between guests is beneficial, Shirasaka will actively match up for both parties.Every day she will accompany the guests until the early hours of the morning, watch every guest leave, and spend the next morning writing emails to all the guests who come to the store.On New Year's and holidays, many greeting cards and small gifts will be sent.

At the same time, she has to maintain the club’s girls. In addition to preventing guests from harassment such as getting drunk and wanting to take a bow, Shirasaka will also teach them to use if they encounter young girls who are too drunk to communicate with guests. You are not afraid of getting drunk by mixing oolong tea with water to keep the wine.

In clubs in Ginza, the club usually sets "accompaniment performance" to assess the reception of accompany women, and there are other performance indicators to urge everyone to increase their turnover.If the escort girl fails to meet the required targets, she will be dismissed mercilessly.

These slightly cruel indicators are Ginza's default "rules", but Aki Shirasaka does not follow the rules. In her store, there is no specific performance indicator, and no one will be fired for performance.Because in her opinion, it would be a shame to fire employees just because they did not meet the performance targets.Many accompany women need to spend two to three years silently accumulating, and finally they can reach the explosion of popularity.Aki Shirasaka gave the opportunity to wait for the girls to burst into popularity. The girls also trusted and respected her. On the contrary, they cultivated a high degree of teamwork spirit. Even if the girls with one heart meet the high salaries of other clubs, they will not change jobs.

In addition to the assessment indicators, there are other rules in Ginza. In order to avoid other rules in Ginza, in order to avoid robbing each other's customers, mother San who has gone out independently cannot open a store near the old store.Shirasaka once again ignored the established rules and supported her no matter where the younger generation opened a shop.

In many cases, in order to support her newly independent mother, Sang, she would introduce customers from her store to the new store to join her.She said: "If there are more stores, Ginza will be vigorous." Shirasaka hopes that her store will develop better, but looking forward to the future, she also wants to see Ginza become better.

Shirasaka, who has witnessed the rise and fall of Ginza, also has a "sense of mission" for Ginza. In the words of Tamura, Aki Shirasaka lit the light for Ginza.

During the 2008 financial crisis, Ginza's business was sluggish, different people left Ginza, and some even committed suicide.At that time, Shirasaka's shop in Ginza was almost impossible to open.When she wanted to give up, the customers who had been to the store encouraged her and proposed the idea of ​​helping her pool the money to pay off her debts.

Knowing that there are customers who love Ginza, Shirasaka also reluctant to give up. She visited the bank under pressure and asked the bank to delay the repayment period.She told the bank staff, "If I also leave, the glory of Ginza will be completely extinguished."

With love for Ginza and support from others, Shirasaka survived the most difficult days.

She uses her actions to develop the charm of Ginza, and she guards the light of Ginza in her own way.She is also in Ginza, waiting for every guest who returns.Those who have been abused also have their own value.

Someone once said that Ginza is a place to sharpen men.Men continue to improve themselves here, and the accompany women will also try to be worthy of the guests in front of them.At this time, they are not worthy of "Panggaozhi", but they influence each other and make progress together.Shirasaka first chose to be a wine girl because she discovered the true value of a wine girl.In that era when women were not active in society, the accompany women could have equal conversations with corporate executives in the club.Shirasaka seized this opportunity to have her later achievements.

Of course, all of the above is a widely rumored "chicken soup version". After he finished speaking, Tamura quietly revealed to Miyazaki Sosuke that the reason why Shirasaka Aki was able to take advantage of such a long time, even the financial crisis At times, banks loaned her to extend her life because there was an important figure in the Liberal Democratic Party standing behind her. As for who she was, Matura Tamura had some doubts, but didn't say much.This is not a denial of Shirasaka Aki's ability, but a frank confession of reality.
