Tokyo: The life of a literary giant begins with home self-defense!

Chapter 78 New Snow

When they heard that this edition of Xinchao was mostly bought by passers-by, the people in Xinchao Society were stunned.

The circle of pure literature is not very large, and the readers who buy it are relatively fixed.

This large-scale ability to attract new customers has never been seen before.

Unlike light novels that attract readers with novel ideas and plots, "Snow Country" achieves this with the text itself.

"Humph."

Taro Ono slammed the thick stack of printed notices on the conference table.

He blew the tea leaves on the cup slowly and his face said, "Get out of my way! I'm about to start pretending."

He first glanced at the face of Shi Annei, whose hair was already untidy, and then clicked his tongue twice in disdain.

That expression, that demeanor is like saying.

"You won't live long enough for the data to come out?"

Ono Taro grinned and spoke directly from his heart.

Muroyasu was so angry that he almost vomited blood. He was sure that not many people in the literary world would buy into the secret agreement with Kodansha.

But what's up with those people who buy a copy of Xinchao just by passing by?

Is this still pure literature that has a threshold for reading? Do you think it's just a street-side illustrated novel?

Muroan has always believed that "Snow Country" is not well written.

He admitted that the author's rhetoric was almost stunning.

But literature is a product of the times, and it itself has symbolic significance for a certain time and social dynamics.

In the 50s, Japanese literature was liberated from the autocratic rule of militarism. The works that emerged at that time were traditional works such as "Gray Moon" by Shiga Naoya and "The Makioka Snow" by Tanizaki Junichiro.

The second half of the 60th century after the 20s was a period of rapid economic development and prosperity in Japan. At the same time, social problems increased and became increasingly serious. At that time, social works such as "Sand Woman" by Kobo Abe and "Gan Temple" by Tsutomu Mizukami appeared.

Later on, there was the "being human" school in the 70s and the anti-war literature in the 80s.

Almost all social conditions will be reflected in the literary works of the time.

Recently, in the early 21st century, the political and economic situation was sluggish, and social problems such as the bubble economy, Aum Shinrikyo, the Hanshin Earthquake, aging, and crime gave rise to class literature and critical literature.

The government is incompetent, so the intellectuals speak out boldly.

Everyone in Japan's literary world is acting like a savior, determined to make the depressed Japan rise again.

But at this time, a snake husband, Longchuan Che, appeared.

He holds a gold pen and a white knife.

He walked in carelessly and said he wanted to bring a new look to Japanese literature.

"This is a new trend. You guys don't know what you are doing."

It was rare that Muroan did not curse at each other. Now that the incident had come to light, everyone was boycotting "Snow Country". Ryukawa Toru did not play with the old literary people at all.

Taro Ono opened the window and calmly caught a snowflake that was floating from the north.

"Editor-in-Chief Muroyasu, do you know what this is?"

Editor Ono spread out his palms, revealing the melted snow in his palms.

The snow is crystal clear, like flowing flames.

"What."

For some reason, Muroyasu's scalp felt tingling. The sales of "Snow Country" were too good among those who had never been exposed to class literature.

I put it in my pocket after taking just one look at it. Its power is comparable to those poems in the Manyoshu.

Ono Taro raised an eyebrow at the defeated Muroyasu.

“It’s a new world.”

The door was slammed shut, and the meticulous secretary walked out of the meeting room without even saying hello.

"Why aren't you leaving yet?"

Taro Ono said to Tanaka Koizumi, who was wiping his sweat with a handkerchief, about the remains inside Muroyasu.

If the first release of "Snow Country" does not perform well, Muroan will be included in the group, and the publication of this person's work will be almost certain.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Tanaka."

Taro Ono made a gesture of invitation.

"We at the New Sensational School will not accept the book Solar Eclipse that you just mentioned."

Tanaka Koizumi sneered and ran away in shame. The director who was watching Ono Taro's performance pinched his nose in pain. "What's the matter with the New Sensational School?"

"Didn't I tell you?" Ono Taro picked up the reprint notices and looked happy no matter how he looked at them.

"I would like to call Longchuan's fragmented writing style and art-first writing style the New Sensationalism."

He is already in his forties, but he is as happy as a child as he is superior to the other party.

Minister Nakamura sighed and reminded the other party not to be happy too early.

Led by Gong Cheng, the literati do not accept the fact that "Snow Country" is true.

Now that we see that "Snow Country" is selling well, I wonder what kind of trouble these intellectuals who can influence society will cause.

"That's none of my concern."

Taro Ono stomped the reprinted document happily on the conference table.

"He has courage and talent. It's only a matter of time before those old-timers accept him."

The middle-aged man with gray hair was humming a song that only his daughter would sing, and he looked really happy today.

Not only did "Snow Country" achieve good results, but the new literature he talked about finally took shape.

No longer focusing on using words to change politics, but returning to art itself.

The good reception indicated the possibility of the rise of the 'New Sensationalism' and he was sincerely happy to have discovered Ryukawa Toru.

Perhaps only if Ryukawa Toru met Ono Taro would he receive such unremitting help and praise.

His readers who were waiting for his book to be published also contributed to the first round of sales.

"Ono."

Minister Nakamura called out to the man who always seemed a little erratic when he got to know him.

"Kudou's death has nothing to do with you, you don't have to be like this"

"I've forgotten about it." Ono Taro slammed the reprinted document on the conference table. "I've forgotten about that kind of thing a long time ago."

The man had a calm expression and spoke in a gentle voice; only his trembling hands on the table seemed to be saying something.

Looking at the other person's expression, Minister Nakamura sighed and didn't continue speaking.

Come out of the conference room.

Ono Taro put on a smiling expression again.

He is easy-going with a hint of elegance. I think he was also a handsome guy when he was young. He is not at all associated with that tough guy who says "Will you live long enough for the data to appear?"

"I think Nakamura is getting old and confused. Why is he mentioning Kudo when he is so happy?"

Taro Ono was mumbling something and when he turned the corner of the road, he took out his cell phone stealthily.

Although those people in the literary world claim that they are not important, class literature is no longer acceptable.

But Taro Ono still knew the power of that group of literati.

The boycott of Japanese literary circles and the emergence of a new school.

Those people are only boycotting within the circle now, if they start to exert their influence.
Ono Taro shuddered violently.

The call was connected after three or four seconds, and Taro Ono said "hello" twice.

"Ryukawa-kun, the first issue of Snow Country has good sales."

"Yeah, I know. The royalties will be paid next month."

"You're 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 on the other end 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 Shinchosha heard Ono Taro shouting, "Book a ticket, book a ticket, book me a ticket to Izu."

Ono Taro looked horrified.

If he remembered correctly.

The hotel where Longchuan Che stayed.

Most of the Japanese literary world was there.
