Chapter 78 New Snowfall
People in Xinchao Club were stunned when they heard that most of the copies of "Xinchao" were bought by passers-by.
The circle of pure literature is not big, and the readers who buy it are relatively fixed.
This large-scale new acquisition capability has never been seen before.
Unlike light novels that use novel ideas and plots to attract people, "Snow Country" achieves this with its text alone.
"Hmph."
Ono Taro slapped the thick stack of printed notices on the conference table.
He blew the tea leaves on the cup leisurely and moved away from me with words written all over his face, I was about to start pretending.
He first glanced at the inner face of Shi An, whose hair was no longer neat, and then clicked his tongue twice in disdain.
That expression, that demeanor seemed to be speaking.
"Are you going to survive before the data comes out?"
Ono Taro grinned and said what was on his mind.
Muroan almost burst out with blood. He had secretly negotiated the deal with Kodansha, which convinced him that not many people in the literary world would buy it.
But what's going on with these people who buy a copy of "New Wave" just by passing by.
Is this still pure literature with a reading threshold? You are an illustrated novel on the roadside.
Muroan has always believed that "Snow Country" was not well written.
He admitted that the author's diction was almost stunning.
But literature is a product of the times, and they themselves have symbolic significance for a certain time and a certain social dynamic.
In the 1950s, Japanese literature was liberated from the autocratic rule of militarism. The works that appeared at that time were traditional works such as "Gray Moon" by Naoya Shiga and "Snowy Snow" by Junichiro Tanizaki.
The second half of the 20th century, after entering the 1960s, was a period of rapid economic development and prosperity in Japan. At the same time, social problems were increasing and becoming difficult to recover. At that time, there were films such as Abe Kobo's "Sand Girl" and Tsutomu Minakami's "Ganji". Socialist works.
Further back, we have the ‘As a Humanity School’ in the 1970s and the anti-war literature in the 1980s.
Almost all social status quo will be reflected in the literary works of the period.
Recently, in the early 21st century, the political and economic situation has been sluggish, and social problems such as the bubble economy, Aum Shinrikyo, the Hanshin Earthquake, aging, and crime have given rise to class literature and critical literature.
The government is incompetent, but the literati speak out boldly.
Everyone in Japan's literary world is trying to be a savior, trying to revive the sluggish Japan.
But at this time, a snake driver came out, a Toru Ryukawa.
He held a gold pen and a white knife.
He walked in carelessly and said that he wanted to give Japanese literature a new look.
"The new atmosphere of Dog Day, you have no idea what you are doing."
It is rare for Muroan not to quarrel with each other. Now that things have emerged and everyone is boycotting "Snow Country", Toru Tatsukawa is not playing with people in the old literary world at all.
Ono Taro opened the window and calmly caught a snowflake floating from the north.
"Editor-in-chief Muroyasu, do you know what this is?"
Editor Ono spread his palms, revealing the melted snow in his palms.
The snow is crystal clear, like flowing flames.
"What."
Muroan's internal scalp felt numb for some reason. The sales of "Snow Country" were so good among people who had never been exposed to class literature.
He took one look at it and put it in his pocket. This kind of power is comparable to the poems in "Man'yoshu".
Ono Taro raised his eyebrows at the defeated Muroyasu.
"It's a new world."
The door was closed with a bang, and Shi An, who was meticulous in his conduct, walked out of the conference room without even saying hello.
"Why don't you leave yet?"
Ono Taro said to Tanaka Koizumi, who was wiping sweat with a handkerchief about the remains inside Muroyasu.
If "Snow Country" does not perform well in its first release, and Muro An enters a group, it is almost certain that this person's work will be published.
"Sorry, Mr. Tanaka."
Ono Taro made a gesture of invitation.
"We, the New Sensationists, will not accept the "Eclipse" you just mentioned."
Tanaka Koizumi sneered twice and ran away in despair. The minister who was watching Ono Taro's performance from above pinched the bridge of his nose with a headache. "What's going on with New Sensationism?"
"Didn't I tell you?" Ono Taro picked up the stamped notices and looked at them happily.
"Ryuchuan-kun's fragmented writing style and art-oriented writing style I plan to call New Sensationism."
He was already over forty years old, but he was as happy as a child when he overcame the opponent.
Minister Nakamura sighed and reminded the other party not to be happy too early.
The literati, led by Gong Cheng, did not accept "Snow Country" as a fact.
Now that we have seen the good sales of "Snow Country", these literati who can influence society wonder what kind of trouble they will cause.
"That's not my concern anymore."
Taro Ono stamped the printed document on the conference table happily.
"He has courage and talent. It is only a matter of time before those old idiots accept him."
Check out the 16-9 book bar to see the correct version!
The middle-aged man with gray temples hummed a song that his daughter could only sing. He looked really happy today.
Not only did "Snow Country" have a good result, but also the new literature he talked about finally took shape.
No longer focusing on words to change politics, only returning to art itself.
The good acceptance shows the possibility of the rise of the "New Sensation School". He is sincerely happy to have discovered Toru Ryukawa.
It was probably only when Toru Ryukawa met Taro Ono that he would be so spared no effort in helping and admiring him.
His group of readers who were waiting for his book also contributed part of the first round of sales.
"Ono."
Minister Nakamura stopped this man who would seem a little out of touch once he got acquainted with him.
"Kudo's death has nothing to do with you, you don't have to do this"
"I've forgotten it." Ono Taro slammed the printed document onto the conference table. "That kind of thing has long been forgotten."
The man looked calm and spoke in a gentle voice. Only his trembling hands on the table seemed to be saying something.
Looking at the other party's appearance, Minister Nakamura sighed and finally did not continue.
Come out of the conference room.
Ono Taro put on a smiling expression again.
There is a hint of elegance in his easy-going manner. I think he was a handsome guy when he was young, and he would not be associated with that "will you live long enough to see the data"?
"I think Nakamura is too confused to mention Kudo when he is happy."
Taro Ono grumbled, walked to the corner of the road, and took out his mobile phone furtively.
Although it doesn’t matter what people say about the literary world, class literature is no longer good.
But Taro Ono still knows the energy of those Ziwen people.
Resistance in the Japanese literary world and the emergence of new genres.
That group of people are still resisting within the circle. If each of them starts to exert their own influence.
Ono Taro shuddered hard.
The call was connected after three or four seconds, and Ono Taro gave two greetings.
"Mr. Longchuan, the first issue of "Snow Country" sold well."
"Yeah, I know. The royalties will be paid next month."
"Are you asking about the reaction in the circle? Don't worry about that kind of thing!"
Ono Taro said a few words and felt that the voice there was a little strange.
The sound of rushing water was accompanied by the woman's angry voice.
"Izu, I'm at the hot spring hotel in Izu."
Ryukawa Toru spoke clearly, and everyone in the Shincho Club heard Ono Taro shouting, "Book a ticket, book a ticket, book me a ticket to Izu."
Ono Taro's eyes were horrified.
If he remembered correctly.
The hotel where Ryukawa Tetsu stayed.
Most of the Japanese literary world was there.
