Bai Gui has now become a well-known figure in the first high school because of his rampant writing in the afternoon. Therefore, after seeing the Japanese students circulating the serialized novels in the newspaper, some Japanese students also became a little bit more interested in reading them.
thoughts.
Of the one hundred newspapers, more than eighty were given away by Bai Gui without a penny. The remaining twenty or so were quickly purchased by students from a high school who came out of curiosity, and they were quickly sold out.
Selling more than 20 newspapers is not really a hot seller.
After all, there are nearly a thousand students in the first high school.
Standing at the forefront of public opinion, Bai Gui's masterpiece has aroused the curiosity of many people.
This is fame!
In the parlance of later generations, black and red are also red!
Everyone wants to know what that person can write. As long as some people have the desire to buy it, his first step to becoming famous has been taken.
The newspaper here in Baigui has been sold out, so students from the first grade of high school went to Tokyo to subscribe, and they estimated that they could get one or two hundred copies.
Three days later, the newspaper office also wrote back to Bai Gui.
It is said that the newspaper sales situation is good, but it is mainly purchased by international students in various schools, and only a small number of Japanese people buy it. This is also easy to understand. The Democratic Progressive News is a tabloid in Japan, but it is a "big newspaper" among the international students.
, if a good novel is published, I will buy a copy.
However, in the eyes of Japanese people, it is obvious that there will not be so much preferential treatment.
However, the prospects are very good, and the proportion of newspapers sold to Japanese people is gradually increasing. Therefore, the newspaper company printed an additional 500 copies.
In addition to reporting some sales status to Bai Gui, the editor-in-chief and writer, the letter also asked him to send back the next manuscript. The manuscript fee was also mailed, which was paid in advance.
Bai Gui also prepared a 30,000-word manuscript and mailed it to the newspaper.
Tokyo's postal system is very developed and can arrive in one day.
And this day has also come to the literary club’s gathering day.
The literary club of the First High School has always had a good relationship with girls' colleges and universities in Tokyo, as well as some girls' private schools.
This is a very common thing in literary societies.
Since it is an exchange of literature, it is impossible to rest on its laurels. And the literary club is also the easiest to establish friendships with other women's colleges and universities.
Private schools are schools from the old Japanese era.
This is different from the private schools in the country during the Ming and Qing Dynasties. Private schools in China generally refer to elementary schools and are used for enlightenment. For example, Bai Gui’s ancestral school in Bailuyuan is a private school. The private schools in Japan are similar to Bailu Academy.
It is an academy with a higher level of education. For example, Keio is also a private school and later became Keio University.
As for the place where elementary education is taught, it used to be the Taziwu. However, after the Restoration, the Taziwu was abolished and turned into a primary school.
Private schools were rare at this time, and most of them only admitted women, teaching music, Japanese songs, art, foreign studies, etc. Those who entered them were mostly local noble girls.
The venue for the gathering was a retreat belonging to the great writer and artist Okakura Tenshin.
Okakura Tenshin was the first graduate of Tokyo University and had a deep connection with Tokyo University, so gatherings and social gatherings of literary clubs were usually held at his home.
Betsuno is located in Shibuya Ward.
Relatively quiet.
Horse-drawn carriages came from the countryside.
"Brother Miwa, there are less than four days left for you and those reckless men in the Kendo Club and Judo Club to take on the challenge. Are you still planning to come to the Liberal Arts Club for a social gathering? Aren't you worried about failure at all?"
At the door, Saburo Tohei watched in surprise as Bai Gui also got off the carriage.
