Tokyo·Yashikan
Masashikan is a well-known venue in Japan. It has been used many times to hold various grand ceremonies, including the Madman Band, Japan's top music group in the past ten years, which held the farewell concert of "The Last Tears" here.
In the past twenty years, Japan's top singer Koichi Shiroi held his first Japanese solo concert, and the Japanese composer Osaka Haruo also let the Masashi Museum play "Haruo Rang in the museum-50 years of wind and rain".
What greatly increased the reputation of this venue was the retirement declaration made by the first-class writer, top singer and composer Taosaki Feng in this venue fifteen years ago.
Taosaki Wenming, who was very popular and popular all over Japan at the time, said a true farewell to hundreds of thousands of singing friends and book friends at the Yasushi Museum. Finally, he sang an original song "Don't Miss Me" with his somewhat hoarse voice. He took off his white hat and left gracefully.
It is this grand ceremony or ceremony that doubles the reputation of the Yashi Museum, and therefore the Ogawa Shou is held in this museum.
There was a crowd of people inside and outside the museum, and on the stage, Ogawakami's final selection was about to be announced, and it was announced that the guest Motoki Yazumi was also in place.
At the same time, there was a "click, click, click" sound under the stage as reporters kept taking photos.
Among the reporters in the right corner of the stage, Mitsuki Fukamatsu is holding the camera tightly with his hand, and is also choosing an angle to take pictures. However, if you look carefully at this time, you can see a slight oil stain on the cuffs of his suit, and his eyes are red and The dark circles under his eyes showed that he had not been having a good time these past few days.
Mitsuki Fukamatsu was as uneasy inside as he was on the outside, because he had received the most severe warning from the minister.
Although he didn't know who the minister was, he knew that he was still investigating information about Yamada Shinichi.
But this incident made the minister very angry, because the minister had already ordered him to stop the investigation, but he disobeyed the order.
While the minister was roaring, Mitsuki Fukamatsu learned that the minister had also been punished by his superiors for this matter. He suddenly felt that his job was over because he knew what kind of person the minister was.
The minister told Hiraoka to go right. Even though he was friendly on the surface, he used various methods to expel several disobedient reporters. Mitsuki Fukamatsu witnessed this with his own eyes.
This time, Minister Hiraoka Yougyou didn’t even bother to do superficial things. He yelled at Mitsuki Fukamatsu in the morning: “Haga, immediately stop all in-depth investigations into Yamada Shinichi and destroy relevant information. This is an order! "
But Mitsuki Fukasatsu is unwilling to give in!
Now it's not just a matter of gambling debts. The key is that he violated the orders of the minister and his superiors, and also used his own few resources and connections. Now that such a thing has been revealed, his resignation is inevitable!
Now it's just the aftermath. Once the aftermath is over, he will definitely be kicked out.
In Japan, it is difficult for people who have been fired to find a job.
Especially those who were fired for violating orders from their superiors will find it more difficult to find a job.
This alone ruins an entire life.
Therefore, Mitsuki Fukamatsu was angry and prepared to make big news. Therefore, in the past few days, Mitsuki Fukamatsu exhausted all means to connect with many reporters and authors, preparing to expose this matter in full view of the public today!
If you want me to die, I will die with you.
Just as I was thinking about it, I saw an old man step onto the stage. This was Yazumi Yuanji, and he was also a top writer, a typical late bloomer.
Before the age of 40, he published two books, "The Swamp and the Hunter" and "The Feast of Carnival". Both his performance and writing skills were very average. After he turned 50, he wrote the masterpiece "The Deserted Snow Country", which was well received upon publication. Ruchao won the Ogawa Prize that year and became famous in one fell swoop.
In the next five years, two more books were published in succession, both of which were nominated for the Ogawa Prize. Finally, at the age of 65, he won the Ogawa Prize with "The Soul Man".
"Ladies and gentlemen, the final winner of today's Ogawa Prize is..." Yazumi Motoki said in a low, slightly hoarse voice: "It's Yamada Shinichi's "Shion's Boat"!"
"Let us welcome Mr. Yamada to the stage with the warmest applause!" Yuanji Yazumi took the lead in clapping.
Off the stage, Mitsuki Fukamatsu felt that the time was almost here. If nothing else happened, someone would receive the prize on his behalf this time.
Mitsuki Fukamatsu had already discussed it with the connected authors and reporters, and Mitsuki Fukamatsu took the lead to protest in front of the live broadcast and make big news.
Although Mitsuki Fukamatsu who did this will definitely be punished, he can gain reputation in front of the entire nation. This is a talisman.
"Fukasatsu, it's time to fight hard."
When contemporary leaders come forward, it is time to break the news, expose everything, and burn the boat.
Mitsuki Fukamatsu took a deep breath, held the camera tightly, turned slightly to one side, and gestured with his eyes to his companions, Hideki Nihara, Chuichi Ishiro, and others who had been connected.
Hideki Shinhara is a journalist who is unwilling to be ordinary and also longs to become famous. Therefore, Mitsuki Fukasatsu communicated in private many times and successfully tied him onto his ship.
Chuichi Ishiro is also an upright man. He believes that there are too many shady secrets behind Yamada Shinichi’s award, and is determined to cooperate with his seniors to expose all this!
"Yamada-kun, Mr. Yamada!" Names were shouted on the stage. Mitsuki Fukamatsu and Chuichi Ishiro were waiting. At this moment, the lights came down.
A man wearing a black kimono came out from the audience. Although he looked very formal, everyone could see clearly that he was just a teenager.
"In the past few times, it was a girl who took charge of it. Now, is it a boy's turn?"
"Once the prize is given to this boy, we will immediately attack." Several people looked at each other and were mentally prepared.
The person who went up was Pei Ziyun, walking towards the center of the stage step by step, heading towards the Yashimi Yuanji. When he arrived at the stage, the audience was excited!
"What's going on? Are you accepting it on behalf of me again?" Katamura Wako is also a writer who is good at describing details and is famous for "Between Writing". At this moment, he is sitting in the audience, looking at the slightly fat man on the stage. Pei Ziyun couldn't help but open his mouth.
Despite the commotion in the audience, Pei Ziyun still didn't feel any discomfort. He just bowed deeply to Yazumi Yuanji, and Yazumi Yuanji also returned the gift seriously, holding the microphone and saying: "Mr. Yamada, congratulations."
"No way, he is Yamada Shinichi?"
This sentence immediately silenced the audience. The well-known critic Niu Kangyi, wearing a burgundy suit, was touching his balding head with his right hand at the moment, with an expression of disbelief on his face, and said: "Isn't this a joke? "
"Did I read that correctly? Will Yamada be such a young man?"
Regardless of the silence below, Yuanji Yazumi picked up Ogawakami's prize from the waiter's plate - a pure gold exquisite pocket watch with the word "Ogawa" engraved on it.
This pocket watch represents the highest achievement of Japanese literature.
At this time, Hazhu Yuanji offered his hands, and Pei Ziyun took the pocket watch and bowed to Hazhu Yuanji. He raised his hand high above the pocket watch, gestured to the surroundings, and bowed again.
Then, Pei Ziyun said: "Hello everyone, I am very happy to meet you on this occasion!"
"My name is Yamada Shinichi, I am a writer and a junior high school student!"
At the same time, all the information about Yamada Shinichi was displayed on the screen behind, reflecting the stunned people.
Pei Ziyun apologized deeply in a childish voice: "I'm very sorry. First, I would like to say sorry to all the seniors and all the citizens in front of the TV!"
"I should have said this apology when I first received the Araki Award."
"However, I received the Araki Award and the Outline Award not long after I was admitted to junior high school. I have a lot to learn, and the Minors Protection Association did not want me to appear in public. Therefore, the first two times, I had someone to receive it on my behalf. !”
Hazumi Yuanji asked very curiously: "Oh, that makes sense, Yamada-kun, you are only thirteen years old now, not to mention eighteen years old, even if you are quasi-adult, you are not even fifteen years old, underage protection The law stipulates that even if you appear, you must use a pseudonym and use a mosaic - the prohibition of the Minors Protection Association, which is very understandable."
"Now, why are you willing to come out?"
"I originally thought I would receive it in person when I turned 18, but I was wrongly loved by the judges and won the Ogawa Prize. The Ogawa Prize is the highest award for Japanese literature. As an author, you must have respect from the bottom of your heart, no matter how many reasons there are. , but it would be too arrogant to come and receive the award!”
"For this reason, I specifically applied to the Minors Protection Association and got approval." As he said that, the approval document and the signature of the guardian appeared on the screen.
"In this way, we can get the opportunity to appear in public today."
"I'm very grateful for this." Pei Ziyun bowed deeply again.
"So that's it, with such difficulties." Yazumi Motoki asked again in a surprised tone: "But it's really unbelievable. Can you write such a novel when you are just a junior high school student?"
Pei Ziyun smiled and replied: "I know there are many controversies on the Internet and in public opinion, but "The Incident at Pu Shangmen", "Who is the Second Man", and "Ghosts Walking in the Night" are all my works."
"The new book this time is "Aster's Boat". I believe that everyone can share some of my thoughts and feelings in its words." Pei Ziyun said in a sincere tone, and then bowed deeply. Bow: "I'm really sorry for the trouble I caused by concealing my identity in the past. Please forgive me."
Yazumi Yuanji nodded and said: "Yes, I also read "Shion's Ship". This is a very excellent novel and is undoubtedly a masterpiece."
"With these four works, Yamada-kun, no matter how young he is, can truly stand in the Japanese literary world and represent Japan's first-class writers."
"To tell you the truth, I am also a writer, but when I read "Aster's Ship", I still felt a kind of spiritual shock."
"Everyone, Yamada-kun is the future hope of our literary world. Any doubts about Yamada-kun, I personally think, will be eliminated with each successive work!"
"Finally, in order not to disturb the lives and studies of minors, I beg you not to harass them, so that our Yamada-kun can have a more stable learning environment and create more excellent works."
"Please!" Yazhu Yuanji bowed deeply, and then someone took Pei Ziyun out.
At this time, everyone woke up, and with a "boom", everyone went crazy and instinctively rushed towards the stage, and the reporters rushed forward desperately.
Only Mitsuki Fukamatsu, who was about to attack, had a blank mind. He didn't know what to do at this moment. He just watched a group of people desperately hugging Pei Ziyun out of the hall, and reporters chased him out.
"It's over!" After a while, Mitsuki Fukamatsu came to his senses. If he made big news and became a reporter fired for justice, he still had a way to survive. Now, everything is over.
No one can say that minors must bear public responsibility.
"No, I'm not convinced."
"There must be a turning point." Mitsuki Fukamatsu gritted his teeth, clenched his fists, ignored the blood oozing from his nails digging into his flesh, and chased after him.
