Chapter 181

After Akiwara Yuto said goodbye to Chief Dacheng, he immediately walked out of the Kejiaoguan and directly stopped a taxi on the side of the road.

He sat in the back seat, looking at the scenery constantly falling backward outside the window, and thought of the manuscript he had just submitted—"Police Assistant Gu Tian Renzanlang".

This work is a classic and famous police detective work in Nihon history, with a total of 43 episodes.

And in each episode, it can basically form a complete clue: from the setting of suspense, the criminal's motive, the detective discovering clues, to obtaining conclusive evidence.

With a beginning and an end, layer by layer, making many people shout happily after finishing it.

On Douban in his past life, many domestic audiences directly gave this work a high score of 9.2, and some people even called it the most unmissable work in the evaluation.

Although exciting, it is not that no one has raised objections. For example, some people say that this work can be popular, entirely because the protagonist and supporting actors are top-tier actors.

Although that is the case, even the best actors cannot be separated from the work. If the reasoning logic of the work has problems, or there are hard injuries in the plot, then no matter how much star halo supports it, it cannot be supported.

Besides that, although film and television dramas are two different forms of expression, the embodiment of character charm is not necessarily inferior to the latter.

For example, the Sherlock Holmes series, how many people were directly moved and attracted by the protagonist in the book after watching this show.

This is also one of Akiwara Yuto's goals, which is to set up a "detective" series that belongs to him.

Many famous detective writers often construct a detective who can appear continuously in different works, and through his perspective depiction, bring readers into the fun of solving cases and decrypting.

For example, Conan Doyle's Sherlock Holmes series, Agatha's Poirot detective series, Higashino Keigo's Kaga Kyoichiro series, Yokomizo Seishi's Jin Tianyi series. If not strictly divided, actually Conan can also be counted in.

Once a "detective" who can leave a deep impression is established, then as a detective writer who is a creator, he undoubtedly holds a trump card ip.

Relying on the operation of this ip alone, he can eat and drink without worry for the rest of his life!

Akiwara Yuto raised his head and looked at the street outside the car window. It is now early December in Tokyo, and the temperature has begun to drop sharply, reaching as low as 5 degrees Celsius.

But many women walking on the street are still wearing short skirts and exposing their knees.

Akiwara Yuto couldn't help but complain, wearing so little, aren't you afraid of getting rheumatism and arthritis when you are old?

Forget it, this has nothing to do with me, let's continue to consider the other benefits and disadvantages after publishing this work "Police Assistant Gu Tian Renzanlang"?

Akiwara Yuto lowered his head and continued to think.

Regarding readers, this work has completely taken the path of short story serialization, greatly lowering the reading threshold, so there is no need to worry about readers saying they have no patience anymore.

As for book reviewers, it is not good instead. After all, this work is purely for the market service, so the reasoning difficulty is reduced.

In short, there are advantages and disadvantages.

However, trying to please everyone is undoubtedly a wrong idea. How can everyone like a work!

In terms of his past life, the sales of one person's works by Higashino Keigo in the country can beat the sum of all other Japanese detective writers.

But this does not mean that the works of other detective writers are much worse than his.

So, this can only prove one fact, which is that the content of Higashino Keigo's works greatly meets the taste of readers in the domestic market at that time, so it formed the continuous recommendation of the public and public opinion.

But there are also many detective fans online who believe that the things Higashino Keigo wrote are not detective works at all. After all, the trick techniques and so on are too simple.

However, in Akiwara Yuto's view, for detective stories, story quality is the first priority, so as long as it satisfies most readers, it is enough!

He let out a long sigh of relief and felt relieved about whether his choice of this work was appropriate.

Now the manuscript has been submitted, and the rest is to continue to ensure the quality of the manuscript, and then cooperate well with the editorial department's work.

"Guest, we have reached the destination." Hearing this sound, Akiwara Yuto came back to his senses. He looked outside the car window and found that he had reached his home at some point.

He immediately said "sorry", then paid the money and left the taxi, walked into the house, went straight to the desk on the second floor, sat down, and continued to write the manuscript for the subsequent "Gu Tian Renzanlang".

Although he had submitted next week's manuscript, the more manuscripts he had, the better.

Just like that, he wrote from Saturday morning to 7 o'clock on Sunday evening. Besides sleeping, he just simply ate the bento brought by Asano Aiko.

But because he didn't stop his pen, he finished the manuscripts for the next two weeks.

Just when he was considering whether to take a break and go out for a night run, the phone at the entrance rang.

Who would call me at this time, could it be that the editorial department has opinions on my manuscript? Akiwara Yuto was puzzled for a moment, then walked down and picked up the phone, "Hello, I am Akiwara Yuto, may I ask..."

"It's me, Akiwara," the phone first came with noise, and then came Hehe Xintai's voice, "I want to ask you one thing here, see if it's convenient for you to accept."

Akiwara Yuto was stunned for a moment, then immediately responded: "President Hehe, please."

He didn't directly answer whether to accept or not, but was prepared to listen to what this President Hehe had to say. If it was too troublesome, he would still find an excuse to push it away.

Hehe Xintai coughed, "It's like this, a friend of mine is a professor in the Literature Department of Kyoto University, and his research field is mainly film literature. He wants to invite you to go there to give a lecture."

Akiwara Yuto felt a bit surprised, then asked again: "Lecture, what aspect is it about?"

"The other party said that your work 'The Invisible Guest' adopted a very different writing technique, so he wants to invite you to talk about your conception and design of the plot in creating this work."

Akiwara Yuto hesitated for a moment, then immediately reacted.

This work "The Invisible Guest" was cared about by many people in the academic circle, and some related academic discussion articles were published. But regarding this work, he had never made his own ideas public.

So perhaps that professor in the Literature Department of Kyoto University might want to know the opinions of himself, the original author?

"Akiwara, think about it. If you feel it's appropriate, call me again." Hehe Xintai didn't intend to let Akiwara Yuto agree directly.

As the vice president of the Detective Writers Association, he had seen quite a few writers over the years, but in his view, different writers have different ideas.

Some writers are fond of greatness and success, and as soon as they are praised by book reviewers, they wish the whole world knew, and they take the initiative to contact to open a series of lectures, trying to show their talent.

But there are also writers who are quite isolated. Don't talk about opening any lectures, they wish they wouldn't even see their family members. Some of them, in order to find creative inspiration, even ran to the deep mountains alone for half a year.

Hehe Xintai, although entrusted by others, still felt that this kind of thing should be decided by Akiwara himself.

After all, if the other party is not sure, even if he goes on stage to lecture, he will only make a fool of himself.

Akiwara Yuto also fell into hesitation, not knowing whether to accept, just saying "I will think about it again."

"Then that's it. By the way, the time is Tuesday morning next week." Hehe Xintai finished this sentence and hung up the phone. Anyway, his obligation to notify was fulfilled, and the rest was Akiwara's own choice.

Akiwara Yuto also put down the receiver, walked back to the room, sat cross-legged on the tatami, and thought about the pros and cons of the lecture for himself.

The time of the lecture is Tuesday morning next week, at that time he was originally going to attend a book signing event. If he holds a lecture, he can only push away this book signing event.

But having said that, the lecture thing seems to have quite a few benefits for him!

After all, a lecture means that he must make part of his writing philosophy public to the outside world, and these philosophies will make the outside world look at him again.

In other words, if his literary philosophy can convince many people, then the views of some people outside who think he is just lucky will probably disappear immediately.

But this is not without risk, what if the views he talks about are not recognized...

Akiwara Yuto pondered carefully for less than two seconds, then immediately made up his mind. He was a graduate student in the Literature Department and a detective fan in his past life. Whether it is literary theory or detective theory, he is far beyond this era.

And the content of the lecture is about "The Invisible Guest," and he, as the author, is the most authoritative. Even if there are some ambiguous views, probably not many people dare to question them, right?!

So for himself, this matter is more of an opportunity!

If he can take the opportunity of the lecture to initially show his face in the academic circle, then the judges of some awards in the future will have to pay more attention to him, right?!

Not only that, he can also take the opportunity of the lecture to promote his new work, which is much easier than book signing events!

Akiwara Yuto let his imagination run wild for a while, then made a decision. He clenched his fists, walked back to the room on the second floor, and prepared to get a speech draft about the lecture in these two days.

After finishing the speech draft, he would call President Hehe and inform him that he accepted this lecture.

While he was writing furiously, the night deepened bit by bit, and the hands of the clock on the wall also moved closer to 12 o'clock...

The sales statistics for the previous issue of "April Youth" also reached the time to be announced!
