I Became a Light Novel Master in Japan Chapter 170
At noon, just after everyone had lunch together, some staff members of the TV station came over. After exchanging greetings with Kagurazaka Iris, an officer asked Li Yan, Senshou Village Zheng, and Kasumigaoka Shiwa Authors with relatively good reputations invite interviews.
At about 12:45, TV TOKYO, TV, and the Internet simultaneously began broadcasting an interview column about light novel writers known to anime viewers. Because of the large number of people, the time will last for about three hours, which is among more than ten people. , each has fifteen minutes of discussion time. Contracted writers from several companies were arranged by lottery to wait in line in two interview rooms.
Because Kadokawa, Dengeki, and Sanhe Bunko have the best light novel writers, the list of twenty writers is basically made after a long discussion between these companies.
When an outstanding writer enters the column back and forth, it seems very fast to change people in fifteen minutes. I heard that it will be played simultaneously on station N. Li Yan and others picked up their mobile phones to watch the writers in the room at station N. The scene during the interview.
"Oops, I always feel that being on TV for the first time makes people feel very nervous..."
Li Yan thought to himself with some trepidation.
It should be said that it’s not that his psychological quality is poor, but that he is really not good at waiting on the spot. Looking at the barrage, some people laugh at the author’s voice, while others are disgusted with the author’s remarks. It is not a simple matter to promote one's own book with a gesture.
Li Yan had already put on a mask, a hat, and even sunglasses. People around could hear his rapid breathing from his mask. This kind of waiting is even more tense than when I was taking the car test in the examination room.
"Ms. Uesugi."
All of a sudden, Senju Murura Zhengshou, who had been sitting quietly beside him, patted the back of his hand lightly. He had been silent all this time, and spoke coldly to the girl in kimono.
"Please don't be nervous. This is just a promotional meeting, and it is not the key factor that determines the quality of your book. Besides, you are Mr. Uesugi, the man who used to fight against Mrs. Xia Shizi. Relax and put Say what you want to say, and treat it as an ordinary conversation, it's just a conversation."
Senshou Murakami showed a smile and said.
Those smooth palms were pressed against the back of his hands, and a trace of warmth was conveyed from the palms. He was almost the same model as Yamato Nadeko. He was younger than him, but his temperament seemed quite stable.
But Li Yan also noticed that the fingers on her left hand were wrapped with bandages, as if she had been injured all the time, which made him a little concerned.
"Thank you, Teacher Qianshou." Li Yan nodded, his mood began to relax a little, and he smiled and said thanks.
"Well, it's nothing more than a little effort." Qianshou Murao said.
Li Yan's mood has indeed recovered a little. He seldom talked with Qianshou Village Zheng. He remembered that this girl was almost the trump card of Sanhe Library. The excellent writing style and interesting plot are hardly like the works that students can write, and it seems that they want to get close to Masamune Izumi after several meetings, which makes him a little confused. The overall evaluation is probably a person who is cold on the outside and hot on the inside.
"Next, Teacher Qianshou, are you ready?"
A TV station executive walked out of the interview room and asked Qianshou Murao respectfully, using honorifics even in his tone, which was clearly different from other authors who had sold hundreds of thousands of books.
"Yes." Qianshou Village Zheng nodded and followed in.
Li Yan was thoughtful, and then turned on his phone to watch the live broadcast of the interview. As a result, he was assigned to Kasumigaoka Shiyu in another interview room, the Yamada goblin whom he had never seen before, and Senshou Village Zheng who had just entered. Although they all wore masks and did not want to reveal their identities too much, they spoke elegantly or were full of energy, almost taking the position of the host, and grasping the initiative of the interview, which made people feel quite admirable. The ratings are pretty good too.
About fifteen minutes later, after Senshou Murata's interview ended, Li Yan's interview finally started.
"Hello, Mr. Uesugi, it's an honor to interview you."
"Hello, audience."
Sitting at the desk in the interview room, in front of Li Yan, besides two huge TV cameras, there is also a laptop computer placed in front of him, on which is directly the synchronized N station video, the barrage on it has not waited for him At the beginning, a group of [MMP], [Old Thief] and [Volume 6] bullet screens began to roam. (MMP is not Chinese, and the annotations symbolize the words of cursing in Japan, but cursing in Japan is really tasteless, so I use mmp to conceptualize it)
"Stop it, you guys..." Li Yan narrowed his eyes and stared at the video, thinking.
The host smiled and asked: "It seems that the readers are quite interested in your sixth volume. Uesugi-sensei, you are a light novel writer who just debuted last year. Although the sales volume is not the first, you ranked best last year. It has reached the fifth place in total sales, and this year it is ninth because of the publication of popular books, which is a very good result anyway, so may I ask if you have a specific release date for the sixth volume?"
"Yes, probably in the middle of May." Li Yan answered after thinking for a while.
——[Hey, didn’t Twitter say it would be published in April? ! 】
——【Asshole, isn't this going to be postponed again? 】
——【If I meet you next time, I will definitely not make you look good. 】
The barrage suddenly became dense, and Uesugi En's sixth volume was postponed again.
After all, before the sixth volume was released, Li Yan considered that his free time would be reduced a lot after enrolling, so he postponed it again. Some prefaces on Twitter were not officially released, but they outlined the strong expectations of fans. As a result, it takes a second to go from heaven to hell.
The host continued to ask: "As for a detail that many readers care about, it may involve a spoiler. May I ask the president of Xinheng Ningning to walk with the protagonist in the future. Teacher, you also know that the president's popularity is almost the same as that in the new anime. The dark horse character, defeated many popular cute characters in one fell swoop, does the teacher have any plans to match this tragic couple?"
"Huh? Couples, the two of them are not couples, they just have a little encounter relationship, that's all I can say."
Li Yan was taken aback for a moment, then hesitated for a moment, and explained.
The densely packed barrage made it almost impossible to see what the online readers were talking about, but the number of people online has soared from tens of thousands to hundreds of thousands at the same time.
Kagurazaka Iris, who has been watching outside, has already covered her eyes and dare not watch any more. Although I feel that the effect of the show is exploding, but now there are a group of fans around the interview room, and the old thief will go out later I don't know how to get out.
"Please, everyone, let's go over there to meet them later." Kagurazaka Iris said to Shido Kunimitsu and others who also had worried expressions behind them.
"Excuse me, "Super Academy War" is an excellent and passionate work. It has been published to the fifth volume, and the animation has also progressed to the second season. The evaluation is quite good. Mr. Uesugi has revealed before that he will write more than ten volumes Now there are tens of thousands of readers petitioning to answer a question, that is, how many volumes of "Super Academy War" will there be in total."
The host also noticed that Uesugi Yan's interview column was almost the climax of the explosive genre. Not only was the work passionate, but even the interview could cause a wave of enthusiasm. It was really incredible, and asked again.
"There are ten volumes in total. After all, it is my first work. My writing experience is not very sufficient, so I spent all my thoughts on the first work. There are both gains and lessons, so I am very grateful to the readers for their love. Being able to write ten volumes has exceeded my expectations, and I will strive to write more than ten volumes for the next new book."
Li Yan spoke with a very sincere tone to the readers in front of the camera.
——[God TM more than ten volumes, isn't it ten volumes? 】
——[Stop it, old thief! Shouldn't it be twelve volumes? 】
——【Oops, Oops. 】
"You mentioned that there will be a new book plan. May I ask if your next new book will also be about blood?" The host asked in surprise, and even changed the title.
"Yes, the outline of the new book will be written this year. It has been planned for a long time. I believe it will be a light novel that is not inferior to "Super Academy". After that, I will ask readers for their support."
Li Yan said with a smile that he could no longer see what the dense barrage in front of the computer screen was, but probably because many people supported his new book, although he would scold him at first, but after When other authors announced their new books, they all gave their blessings, so he also considered announcing his new book plan to the public to see the reaction effect.
6:00 p.m.
The sky already had a little bit of starlight, but in the night, there was a bustling sound that broke the tranquility of this small town.
Downstairs of the sixth-floor apartment used for temporary interviews, a large number of flashing lights of mobile phones were constantly flashing, and hundreds of die-hard fans were furious at the writer at the door, and the scene was almost out of control for a while. Inside the human wall formed by the security personnel, a dazed Li Yan covered his head with a suit, and was escorted by Shitong Guoguang and Kusanagi Longhui, and hurried through the street.
"You still plan to write a new book, what are you going to do with this book, what about the third college battle, bastard?!"
"Let me tell you, Uesugi Yan! Even if you write a new book, how beautiful it is, I will never read your new book if I don't have any other novels to read in the future!!"
"..."
Both Yinglili and Shiyu were watching outside, feeling a little helpless and terrified in their hearts. He was obviously just a novelist, but he turned out to be like a scandal star. I have to say that Uesugi Yan's strength really cannot be underestimated.
...
The ratings of this interview program almost reached its peak during Uesugi's stage. When TV TOKYO cooperated with Station N to broadcast simultaneously, it attracted the attention of many people.
In Chiba, Yukinoshita sisters seldom watched the TV programs in the living room together. As a result, Yang Nai burst into laughter, and Yukinoshita Yukino turned pale with anger, but in the picture, I always felt that figure was somewhat familiar. It seems that I have seen it somewhere, but who it is, but I can't tell...
And in Hitoyoshi City, the many youkai who watched with Natsume were almost buzzing.
