Akihabara Pioneer Road Chapter 132: 【From comics to novels! ]
"Youth Running" editorial department.
Editor Bird Island returned to his desk and looked at the business card in his hand.
What kind of organization is this "Scientific Research Laboratory"?
Forget it, leave him alone!
"Miura! Come to the conference room with me!" He started to talk to Miura by himself as usual on weekdays.
Everyone was staring intently at their computer screen, but everyone put up their ears "antenna", wanting to receive the latest news from the editor of Torishima after seeing the Metropolitan Police.
In the small conference room of the editorial department.
Torishima looked at Miura, who was a little guilty, and asked slowly: "On April 15th, you took the sketch of "Detective Kenan" to the printing house. Did something happen on the way?"
Miura's face turned red, he lowered his head, and answered his boss in a low voice: "Well, I'm sorry, I concealed this matter. I violated the rules of the editorial department and put on gloves in the taxi and took it out. That drawing was going to be looked at carefully, but it was involved in a traffic accident."
"What?!" Torishima was a little surprised, then a sullen look appeared on his face, "Then what?"
"The sketches floated out of the car window at the time, but you may not believe it. When I got out of the car to look for the sketches, the sketches suddenly returned to my hands, and there was no dust on them. It can be said that It's intact and unscathed!" Miura was a little excited, "I can guarantee this with my personality!"
Torishima believed that the daredevil editor in front of him was telling the truth, because after the printing of the sample book of the magazine, Torishima himself had checked every detail of each page, and found no stains or missing.
"I'll settle the account with you later! Well, is your own physical safety all right?" Torishima still had a serious look on his face.
"Thank you for your concern! I don't have anything to do!" Miura replied with his chest out.
"Remember that no matter what happens at work in the future, you must report it to me as soon as possible! Do you hear me? Go back to work first." Torishima pushed Miura away and fell into deep thought.
Scientific search laboratory.
Automatically returns to the scattered sketches in hand.
A well-prepared sketch.
Reasoning comics.
Metropolitan Police Detective.
What's the connection? It's nerve-racking!
"Editor Bird Island, are you here? I have your phone number!"
"Okay, I'll go!"
I'm going! Busy day!
"Hey, I'm Torishima! Oh, you're the editorial office of a literary publication. What? Linda from 'AKBS Project'? That's my manga writer. What happened to him?"
"What? Did he participate in the award-winning essay contest of the weekly "Wen Yi Chun Xia"?"
"About him and his studio? We've only just started working together recently, and he and another manga artist, Aoyama, have just started a new comic series on our Shonen Run called Detective Kenan. ..."
"...Ah, it's not about literature and art, it's comics that reason about criminal investigation. I don't know much about the literary works of their studio..."
"Ah, that, what is the name of the novel he submitted this time?"
"...What forest? The Forest of Oslo?...Isn't that a song of the same name by the 'The Beatles'?"
"Okay, please send me a copy of his contribution later. …Ok!"
"Crack!" Bird Island hung up.
What happened today? Why so many calls and things?
Bird Island is sitting in his swivel chair. He clearly has a lot of work at hand, but he can't find a way to work.
Because his mind is full of the inexplicable visit of the Metropolitan Police Department's criminal police today and the "double opening" of the "AKBS Project" studio's comics and literary publications award-winning essays, by the way, he also concealed the "lost manuscripts" reported by Miura. The incident is haunted.
Having said that, this "AKBS Project" studio is really talented.
It's almost a fait accompli that the first issue of "Detective Conan" was a big hit, and it's been five years since the first edition was in short supply.
Judging from the current boom in sales, it is only a matter of time before this comic becomes a "boutique"!
And it is estimated that the printing of the single edition will be intensively prepared after the serialization will not be many issues!
In such a good situation, the original author of the comic still has time to write literary works. He is really energetic.
One side is the plot script of the comics, and the other side is the literary grand prix where the national elite gathers, which side does not have to spend a lot of time?
Well, let's look at his literary works first!
It stands to reason that as long as it doesn't affect the publication progress of this comic, what does he like to do in the rest of the time, and what does it have to do with my Torishima?
But if they dared to be late for the comics, hehe, I wouldn't be that famous "Evil Ghost" Bird Island if I didn't blow up their phone!
…
…
Lunch time has passed, and even some editors and editorial staff who ate late have returned to the office to continue their work, but the editor of Torishima is still sitting at his desk, and always maintains a posture.
The people next to me started talking again:
Um, is the Torishima editor alright? Something has been wrong with him since the morning!
Yes, I was interviewed by the police detective of the Metropolitan Police Department~IndoMTL.com~ to talk to Miura alone, and I received a call from the literary editorial department of our publishing house. I guess I was stimulated by something?
Although the editor of Bird Island is a well-known workaholic, it seems that it is not too common to forget to sleep and eat for reviewing manuscripts.
Yes, this issue of the weekly magazine has just been released, and the results are very good. He still works so hard, which is really admirable.
Well, let's follow the editor Torishima, let's hurry up and do what we're doing.
Just when the surrounding discussions gradually subsided and everyone started to work in the afternoon, Torishima Sumihiko stood up from his seat with a "snap"! The range of motion was so large that the swivel chair behind him was spun at a high speed, and with a thud, it hit a cabinet behind him and then slowly stopped.
"It's incredible! It's really incredible!" Torishima Katsuhiko just repeated this sentence.
"This Lin Daye is simply a rare talent! No, he is a genius! He is an unparalleled genius! How magnificent and magnificent!" Torishima held his head and turned around in front of the desk several times!
The surrounding editorial colleagues looked at this young manga editor who was famous for being stern and inhumane like aliens. His every move became the focus of the entire editorial office!
Bird Island's editor's heart is now full of ups and downs, huge waves!
Although he has not read pure literature or popular literature for two or three years, "Oslo Forest" is definitely the best literary work he has read in recent years - no one!
Such a novel story can even be used directly without too much modification and can be turned into an outline script for adaptation of comics or film and television works!
Lin Daye, I must keep you in the "Juxian Club"!
Unsurprisingly, you will become a generation of writers in the neon literary world!
