In his mind, "Record of Ghosts" is already a thing of the past.
After that, other than sharing the box office share, I don’t want to put too much thought into it.
In addition to reports on "Ghost Story", the morning paper also contains some national events, entertainment gossip, etc., such as a bj girl named Lang Ping winning the first world championship for Chinese volleyball in RB Osaka.
Seeing this familiar name, Naoki Nagayama felt inexplicably moved. Did he actually witness history like this?
The great achievements of the women's volleyball team echoed in my mind, and then I thought of the men's football team...he~tui~
After sighing for a while, Nagayama Naoki continued to open the newspaper and read on.
The front page of the morning paper mainly covers major events, while other pages include small things in local life, where the accident happened, who a well-intentioned person funded, what policies the government agencies issued, etc.
Turning to the end of the thin newspaper, there was actually another piece of information related to Naoki Nagayama.
"The latest batch of selection results for this year's RB Children's Literary Newcomer Awards are out!"
This year's award-winning work is "Summer Garden"....
Ah, so that’s what happened.
Two weeks ago, Shogakukan's editor Kuniji Morikawa called specifically to inform him,
But these two weeks have been too busy,
Forget about this completely!
Nagayama Naoki decided to contact Morikawa Kunji immediately after returning home.
It seems that there are also awards and other activities to participate in.
Having made a decision in his heart, Nagayama Naoki closed the newspaper and continued to enjoy the autumn scenery of the park. He had a half-day of leisure. The place was pending for this morning, so no one could disturb him.
...
When a person is in a daze, time always passes quickly.
I have only breathed the fresh air of the park a few times, and an hour has passed.
Sure enough, time flies when you are young.
Yonghan Naoki stood up from the bench and started walking towards Sanzakuin.
From time to time, I ran into several elderly people. Seeing such a young man in the park, they all looked at him with a surprised look, conveying the meaning of "You are so young, why don't you fight!", or maybe also
It may mean "Where did such a handsome young man come from?"
Fortunately, Japanese society has a lot of etiquette and weak human relationships. You can barely talk to someone you don't know well. If you meet someone head-on, Naoki Nagayama and the other person will nod and pass by. Real silence is golden.
If it were China, there would be no chance that the grandparents in the park would come up and chat for a while, and if the chat was pleasant, it would progress to the point of introducing a girlfriend to Naoki Nagayama...
Yamazakura-in is still sitting quietly among the short bamboos surrounding it. After a while, the bamboos have surpassed the wooden fence. The first floor is completely invisible, and the second floor has been partially blocked.
After entering the door, Naoki Nagayama sat down on the sofa in the living room. His whole body was surrounded by soft sponges, and he couldn't help but let out a sigh of contentment.
There was a landline phone at hand. Naoki Nagayama found the contact information of Kuniji Morikawa in the phone book and dialed the number.
"Moses, Moses, this is the little library! How can I help you?"
It's actually the front desk? Is this voice the girl with glasses who has a wild heart?
"Good morning, I'm Naoki Nagayama. I'm calling to see editor Kuniji Morikawa."
"Ah~ It turns out to be Mr. Naoki!!"
Nagayama Naoki already has a certain reputation in Shogakukan. After all, "Summer Garden" is already a best-selling novel, and he also won the RB Children's Literary Newcomer Award.
At least within Shogakukan, most people are aware of such a young author.
"Private Marseille, please wait a moment, Mr. Naoki, and I will transfer you immediately." In rb, apology is basically a pause particle, and you can say it at any time.
"Arigado~"
After a while, the gentle voice of Kuniji Morikawa came from the microphone: "Naoki-san? Are you still there?"
"Hi, I'm here," Nagayama Naoki had to say, "Private Marseille, I was quite busy some time ago, so I didn't contact Bunji-san."
"Ah, stupid tape! Damn tape!" Kuniji Morikawa said in a relaxed tone, "Naoki-san, have you seen the report?"
"If it's a report about the awards, I just saw it today." Nagayama Naoki replied, "It's a bit rude to say it, but I only remembered such a thing after seeing this report."
"Hahaha, Naoki-san is really straightforward."
Kuniharu Morikawa has met many authors, but this is the first time he has not cared so much about being awarded an award.
"So do Naoki-san have time to come over today? It's best to talk about the follow-up matters." Morikawa Kuniji paused, "By the way, I can also give these two royalties to Naoki-san in advance."
"Eh? Didn't we just get married at the end of the year?"
"Silly Tape, Naoki-san's book has been printed an additional 200,000 copies this time, and there should be no more printing by the end of the year."
"Is that so? Then I'll trouble Bunzhisang. I'll set off right away."
"Hi, I'm waiting for you at the elementary school!"
...
Xinjiashan Sakurayuan,
Very close to the primary school,
The straight-line distance does not exceed 1000 meters,
Nagayama Naoki walked towards Shogakukan easily,
However, the 10-minute journey is still based on the premise of strolling slowly along the way.
When he came to this brick-like building again, he still couldn't help but complain about the aesthetics of the elementary school building.
The bespectacled girl Nozawa Reiki is still at the front desk, but there seems to be a young girl next to her.
When I saw the door open, a sunny and handsome guy came in. I recognized him as Naoki Nagayama. Reiki Nozawa's voice was very enthusiastic.
"Good morning, Naoki-san~"
"Good morning, Reihi-san, and this newcomer-san~" Nagayama Naoki came to the front desk and said to the girl with glasses, "I came to find Kunji-san, we made an appointment~"
"Hey, go right away. Mitsuko-chan, go and inform Editor Morikawa that someone is looking for you~"
Nozawa Reiki asked the newcomers to help inform, while she stayed and chatted with the handsome guy.
When he heard someone was looking for him, Kuniji Morikawa didn't seem to react until he saw the real person at the front desk.
"Naoki-san? Why did you come here so quickly?"
When the little girl at the front desk called him, he was a little confused, but now he was really surprised to see the real person.
"I just moved some time ago, and now I live in Chiyoda Ward. It's only less than 1,000 meters away from Shogakukan."
"Is that so? Then we can come and chat often in the future~hahaha~"
Kuniji Morikawa greeted him while leading the way, "Naoki-san, please come this way."
The two of them chatted and laughed and headed to the reception room.
At this time, the new front desk girl asked the girl with glasses:
"Lingxi-chan, is that super handsome guy also a writer?"
"That's Mr. Naoki, the author of the best-selling children's novel "Summer Garden"! He is indeed very handsome!"
Nozawa Reiki's glasses flashed with white light, "Mitsuo-chan, as far as I know, Naoki-sensei is still underage!"
The newcomer Mitsuko Nishihara covered his mouth: "Todoroki? Is it so small?"
Then the two of them started chattering without knowing what they were talking about, and burst into silly laughter~
