Chapter 659: Pour all your talents into my body
Chapter 659: Pour all your talents into my body
Listening to the measures mentioned by Yamaguchi Daisuke, Hojo Kyosuke, who contributed many bad ideas, said sorry to the homeless people in Tokyo in his heart, but he was not really sorry, after all, those homeless people would not be his customers.
The whole thing has now come to a successful conclusion, and Hojo Kyosuke and Tsuruta Masao's group can be said to have gotten what they wanted. Hojo Kyosuke's award itself was controversial, and he urgently needed to do something to improve his value, otherwise he would be criticized even if he won the grand prize smoothly.
And now?
Fame and fortune, the favor of America's daddy Hollywood; social responsibility, influence on the country; academic certification, faction bosses are willing to spend years of reputation to endorse him.
After going through all this, even though the process of winning the award was full of ups and downs, this award should be the most valuable one for him.
Yamaguchi Daisuke walked off the stage contentedly amid applause, and then Kenzo Chikano and an old man named Akiyuki Senkei came on stage. It seemed that the award presenters were replaced at the last minute. Hojo Kyosuke guessed that it was because Mr. Seiichi Morimura had made a big splash on the stage before, which made other people in the association feel that they should treat him more seriously.
On the stage, Senkei Akiyuki, who was wearing an old-fashioned suit, opened his cue card and began to recite without much nonsense. Those were the words that Oosaka Tsuyoshi had said in the final selection to support Hojo Kyosuke's winning the award. Being able to choose his comments from the four comments, it goes without saying that his flattery was the best.
The big man couldn't help but stop after reading just two sentences, with a very complicated expression. He raised his head and first looked at Hojo Kyosuke, then at Oosaka Tsuyoshi, and then continued to read the "love letter" as if he had accepted his fate.
"…Then, the winner of the 68th Neon Mystery Writers Association Awards is…"
The old man raised his head and glanced at the audience, then leaned closer to the microphone:
"The Devotion of Suspect X! Congratulations to Mr. Hojo!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Senkei Akiyuki himself began to applaud, and the audience immediately burst into warm applause. I just don't know if those people were congratulating Hojo Kyosuke or thanking him for presenting such a wonderful farce to everyone.
"Go ahead, congratulations!"
Wancheng Yaji pushed Hojo Kyosuke's shoulder, and Michio Kotaro and Oosaka Tsuyoshi beside him also offered their congratulations.
Hojo Kyosuke did not pretend to be reserved and walked up the stairs on the side of the podium at a very fast pace.
When he stood on the stage, a beautiful lady in a dress came over with the prize and the prize money. The prize was a watch engraved with the winner's name, not made of pure gold. The prize money was not much, not comparable to the Edogawa Ranpo Prize sponsored by Yudansha and Fuji TV, but it did not prevent it from being one of the top literary awards in Japan.
Hojo Kyosuke took the watch from Senkei Akiyuki and put it on his right hand. He should have worn it on his left hand, but his left hand belonged to Mitsuha, who wore the orange-red knot all the time.
As soon as he put on his watch and stood in front of the microphone, the audience immediately burst into warm applause. Needless to say, the next thing was his acceptance speech. If necessary, Hojo Kyousuke could stand here and speak for three days and three nights, but considering that he had already been in the spotlight enough today, he only said two brief sentences:
“I am very grateful to have received the long-standing Neon Mystery Writers Association Award.
Every work is important to me, but this work is undoubtedly the most important one. This work of mine has been nominated for many literary awards and received valuable advice from many senior writers. It is also a work that made me realize how immature I am as a writer.
The Neon Mystery Writers Association Award was one of my biggest goals when I debuted as a mystery writer. Once again, I would like to express my sincere gratitude to the preliminary selection committee members who gave me a chance when I was still young, as well as the selection committee members who encouraged me.
I was awakened by reading Sherlock Holmes, and I have always been secretly happy to be called a mystery writer. From now on, I will strive to improve myself with the pride of winning the Neon Mystery Writers Association Award.
thank you very much."
There was a burst of applause.
"Hojo didn't even thank his family and friends?" Osaka Tsuyoshi asked in disbelief.
"Hasn't he been celebrating with his family for the whole day today? He should have thanked us a long time ago." Misaki Megaku said casually.
"...Yeah, this guy's celebration party has already ended."
Kenzo Chikano came up on the stage to wrap up, and finally said a few polite words before announcing that the 68th Neon Mystery Writers Association Awards had come to a successful conclusion.
Suddenly the award ceremony was turned into a celebration banquet, not a celebration banquet for Hojo Kyosuke, but a celebration banquet to celebrate the Neon Mystery Writers Association's continued success.
Of course, the biggest protagonist is naturally Hojo Kyosuke. Just as he was about to go to the back to find Sakura, Mitsuha and the others, he was blocked by a group of people and was surrounded by a crowd.
His literary colleagues and admirers asked him for the name of the new genre. Before Hojo Kyosuke could say anything, his overly professional fans excitedly said, "Of course it's called Hojo Ryu!"
"Hojo Style? Hojo Style! Great!"
A group of writers who wanted to imitate Hojo Kyosuke and write best-selling and award-winning works applauded. The most important thing for the creation of a school is the height of the founder. If the founder can make 10 billion, they have the possibility of making 100 million. If even the founder can't make 10 million, then what's the point of opening a school? Just disband it as soon as possible.
Now everyone is looking forward to a longer honor column under Hojo Kyosuke's personal homepage, with the 2015 Honya Grand Prize, the 68th Neon Mystery Writers Association Award, another mystery literature award, mystery best 10, and cumulative sales of over million. Then write down other writers of the same genre, such as xxx, xxx, etc., and then those who have read Hojo's works and have nothing else to read will become his readers, which is really cool.
Hojo Kyousuke never expected that the first literary school he would have named after himself would be a literary school. He thought it would be the "Hojo Kyousuke Cult". With the fanaticism of the people in the Rampage Angels, he was always worried that Kisaki would instigate other subordinates to change the name of the organization.
Even if it is not a club, it should be kendo. Now his kendo is not invincible in the world, but at least he has no problem establishing his own school. He directly practices pure love. The core purpose is to avoid being killed by axe and accidents on the road of practicing pure love, so he must improve his strength day by day.
But before he could indulge himself for too long, those newcomers in the literary world were pushed to the back. Fortunately, Hojo Kyosuke saw Michio Kotaro gathered those people together and exchanged contact information.
Hojo Kyosuke doesn't know if there are any reliable people among these newcomers to the "Hojo Style", but he is sure that this style will definitely leave a mark in the mystery novel world. Apart from anything else, his fan Michio Kotaro is a complete genius. The book "The Thumb of the Crow" is undoubtedly a masterpiece, and he alone is enough to prove that Hojo Kyosuke's writing style can be copied and has a future/money-making future.
Among the people who gathered around him, the first one was the assistant of the Hollywood director. This person started to flatter Hojo Kyosuke, saying that his boss was looking forward to meeting Hojo Kyosuke and believed that the talents of the two would definitely collide to produce an excellent work. He also formally extended an invitation to Hojo Kyosuke to go to America to work on the script with the great director.
Hojo Kyosuke didn't say whether he agreed or not, he just perfunctorily said it. He definitely had to go, but not to cooperate with the script adaptation. Don't look at the American's fancy words now, but in fact, I don't know how proud he is in his heart. If he really goes there, who knows, people will directly say "This is America, you don't understand the art of film".
He thought that he could take a trip at public expense and take everyone in Ruyilao with him during the holidays. He could also hold a few book signings in America under the name of a great writer, so as to export his works and sell them domestically. After returning, he could sell a lot of books, which could also be regarded as advertising for the new comics.
After the director's assistant said some auspicious words, he shook hands with Hojo Kyosuke and bowed before leaving. Many Japanese film and television industry professionals hurriedly chased after them, wanting to see if they could get the two young stars into each other's room, but how could the Americans look down on them? They ignored them and only smiled when facing the reporters. They praised Hojo Kyosuke crazily, saying how popular he was in America, how young people loved him to the point of madness, and that the next movie would definitely be a big success.
Hojo Kyosuke glanced at him without saying anything. According to Xisaki's information, he was indeed very popular in America. A genius, an undoubted genius. A sixteen-year-old best-selling author whose novels sold all over the world. The key point was that he was not a nerd and fought like a cartoon character.
When Xisaki was managing Hojo Kyosuke's social account, he often uploaded Hojo Kyosuke's practice videos. He unbuttoned the top of his kendo uniform to reveal his upper body. His strong chest muscles and well-defined abdominal muscles were glistening with sweat. His muscular arms were waving a wooden sword, and the surging male hormones were almost overflowing the screen.
In the comment section, you can often see many comments with pictures:
"In order to save paper, protect the environment and reduce carbon emissions, I suggest that Mr. Hojo write on my body in the future!"
The accompanying picture is a photo. The protagonist of the photo is a beautiful woman from behind. Her golden hair falls from her shoulders. Her back is tanned to a healthy wheat color. She is not wearing a bra. Her plump breasts can still be seen from the back. Her waist is slender and looks very suitable for grasping. Her hips...
"Mr. Hojo's hands are so beautiful. Using them to type on the keyboard or hold a pen will cause great wear and tear. I suggest that you put your thoughts directly into my body and let me write."
The picture shows a very European and American plump figure. You can tell at a glance that it has a large capacity and can indeed withstand the talent of Hojo Kyosuke.
"Mr. Hojo, those shameless bitches are just greedy for your talent. I am the only one who really cares about you. Don't work anymore. I am the only daughter in my family. Stay with me. I and everything I have are yours."
There are usually many pictures accompanying this kind of comments, such as photos of people wearing bikinis on huge yachts, photos taken in front of castle-like mansions, and direct information about companies and various funds. The owner of the account seems to be afraid of being mistaken for a scam, so he directly @ed a lot of entrepreneurs and celebrities to testify. However, those @ed people often join the comments and become part of the group that deceived Hojo Kyosuke.
There are countless similar comments. It’s not that beauties don’t dare to post pictures. The difference is whether those beauties are rich or talented, and their nationalities are all over the world.
Perverts like Onizuka Eikichi often linger in the name of maintaining order, while Xisaki, who is in charge of the job, is so nervous. It's not that he is afraid of not being able to withstand the temptation. In fact, with his IQ, he can easily play those rich girls in the palm of his hand. He doesn't reply or interact, but just guesses the other party's preferences and posts related updates later to get more screams.
What he was really afraid of was being discovered by the sisters-in-law in Ruyi Lodge. If Miss Gongshui and the others found out that he was letting his brother sell his body, then...
In short, Hojo Kyosuke knew that he was indeed very popular among young people in America, but it was definitely not as exaggerated as the assistant said. He guessed that the guy did that in order to use his "light of Japan" to make a lot of money from the investors in the Japanese film and television industry. I think the TV stations or publishing houses under the newspaper groups would be happy to do this kind of sucker, after all, they can be related to Hollywood.
"This time, it was lucky that Hojo Kyousuke's novel was chosen for adaptation. Maybe it will be my novel's turn next time."
Hojo Kyosuke even saw his two editors coming over when he had such thoughts.
Unfortunately, except for a few people who sat at a table with their assistants under the banner of Hojo Kyosuke, everyone else was turned away. Then they found that it was better to go to Hojo Kyosuke than to go to that arrogant American. After all, in addition to the confirmed adaptation of "The Devotion of Suspect X", Hojo Kyosuke also has a more violent and exciting "The Dream and Death of Writer K" in his hands, which was highly praised by Mr. Seiichi Morimura.
If this film gets the copyright and is adapted, there is no need to think of a promotional slogan, just say "Another masterpiece from the original author of a Hollywood blockbuster, far superior to the previous one, all the talent of Hojo Kyosuke!"
So those who went back and forth squeezed into the crowd with greater enthusiasm. If they didn't have to maintain their dignity, I'm afraid someone would give Hojo Kyosuke a room card again. Everyone knows that these writers are scumbags, aren't they just women? Although these people can't get good things in front of the Americans, they are not ordinary people in Japan. They can call many second-tier and third-tier celebrities by making a phone call. And the target is Hojo Kyosuke. Maybe they don't have to pay anything, and they can even get a benefit fee from the female celebrity.
Seeing someone really thrust the room card in his direction and giving a hint, Hojo Kyosuke pushed it back as if he had touched lava. Is this something he can do? Didn't you see so many people staring at me over there? Asshole, you are deliberately framing me!
After what happened, Hojo Kyosuke didn't dare to continue to be surrounded by these people, and quickly called over Tetsuta Kisaki, saying that all business matters would be handled by his secretary, while he hid behind and chatted with Kenzo Chino and others who were free.
"By the way, how did you find out about Tsuruta Masashi occupying Nishizawa Osamu's works?" Oosaka Tsuyoshi asked curiously.
Upon hearing this, Kenzo Chino, Manabu Misaki and others also pricked up their ears. This was what everyone was most curious about. Although they had produced evidence to show that the clues were found in the newspapers, there were so many newspapers in Tokyo every day and every year, and they were not electronic files. It was like looking for a needle in a haystack. How could Hojo Kyosuke have discovered this?
Looking at everyone's curious eyes, Hojo Kyosuke couldn't help but feel a little proud. You know, when Kisaki came to report the news and talked about Tsuruta Masao's matter, even Kisaki was at a loss and was about to pick up Tsuruta Masao's granddaughter from school, but Hojo Kyosuke found a breakthrough in an instant.
"He's over 60 years old and still publishes new works every year. The quality is pretty good. People who don't know him would think his name is Hojo Kyosuke. Otherwise, how could he be so good?"
He explained modestly:
"Following this line of thought, I soon discovered the flaw. After all, there is no such thing as a perfect crime in this world." (End of this chapter)
