Chapter 301 Premiere Tickets

Togada Nanako picked up the tea in front of her, took a sip, and looked at Itagaki Kazuhiko in front of her.

Itagaki Kazuhiko carefully looked through Togada Nanako's manuscript. After reading it once, he nodded and said: "Well, not bad. Some of the previous foreshadowings were also revealed in the last chapter. It is a good ending, and it does not bring anything down. The overall quality of the work."

Nanako Togada was relieved. Although the work had a detailed outline, there would still be fluctuations in the level from the outline to the text.

The ending she had written previously was turned back by Itagaki Kazuhiko, who asked her to rewrite it. It didn't matter if she missed the serialization time. The worst she could do was to suspend publication for one issue, but she had to ensure the quality of the work.

For a serialized work, it is terrible to start off and end at the end, which will destroy the quality of the entire work, make all the early efforts in vain, and greatly reduce the readers' willingness to buy single volumes.

Therefore, in the later stages, Itagaki Kazuhiko became more cautious. Once he found that the quality was not up to par, he would rather suspend an issue than publish it.

It is precisely because of Itagaki Kazuhiko's serious and responsible attitude that he has become the best-performing editor of Spring and Autumn Society. In addition to the big tree of Fujiwara Kei, many potential authors have been discovered during this period, and Togata is one of them.

"Togata, I will send your work to the organizer of the Ranpo Prize... It is not necessarily a win, but it is definitely no problem to be nominated." Itagaki Kazuhiko said.

"Thank you, Mr. Itagaki." Togada said, bowing his head slightly.

"If you are really lucky enough to win the Ranpo Prize..." Itagaki Kazuhiko rolled his eyes upward, as if he was lost in imagination, "then Togata-sensei might become someone like Keita Shiba."

Now, in order to motivate newcomers, Itagaki Kazuhiko often compares Kei Fujiwara with them, and uses Fujiwara Kei to draw cakes for newcomers. It should be said that it is really useful.

Many newcomers have heard about Kei Fujiwara's deeds and regard Kei Fujiwara as a spiritual role model. They want to become the second Kei Fujiwara and are very motivated.

Togata Nanako said with some fear: "No, no, how dare you be...how dare I compare with Mr. Fujiwara..."

Itagaki Kazuhiko put the manuscript into the document bag and said with a smile: "What can't be compared? Speaking of which, Mr. Togata debuted earlier than Fujiwara Kei. In terms of this alone, you are indeed better than Fujiwara." Gui Qiang is better."

"No...you can't say that..."

Some newcomers have already imagined it when they heard Itagaki Kazuhiko say this, and they have already imagined it in their hearts. However, Togada Nanako has a relatively calm personality, and has a deeper understanding of the gap between herself and Fujiwara Kei, so she does not dare to accept Itagaki rashly. Kazuhiko's flattery.

When Itagaki Kazuhiko saw that Togada Nanako did not accept his hat, he smiled and stopped talking. He gave away many such high hats, and in order to achieve the motivational effect, he did not mind telling some [white lies].

In fact, from the perspective of his professional editor, Kei Fujiwara is a unique super newcomer in the history of contemporary literature. His debut novel has no trace of a newcomer's work at all. It is more like the work of a writer with extremely high talent and sophisticated writing, who has accumulated seven or eight works. The same is true for "White Night Walk", and the same is true for "Genius Detective Mitarashi Kiyo".

So for the same newcomers, Kei Fujiwara and other newcomers - even newcomers with a little talent, the gap between the two is so big that it can't be seen at a glance. Kei Fujiwara stood there waiting for decades, and no one might be able to surpass him.

"Right." When Itagaki Kazuhiko put the document bag into his briefcase, he suddenly thought of something, then took out two tickets and handed them to Nanako Togada, "I'll give this to you."

"this is?"

"Tickets for the premiere of "White Night Walk"." Itagaki Kazuhiko zipped up his briefcase and said, "This ticket was given to me by Mr. Fujiwara, but I happened to be on a business trip on the day of the premiere and couldn't go. If you have If you are interested, you can go and take a look, maybe it will inspire you."

Togata picked up the premiere ticket on the table and rubbed it. Two movie tickets were stacked on top of each other. Togata was startled: "Two of them?"

"Well, I was originally asked to take my wife with me. If you have a boyfriend, Togata, you can take him with you."

Nanako Togada subconsciously wanted to say that she was single, but after thinking about it, she felt that there was no need to explain. "White Night Walk" is his favorite novel. It was because of this novel that he first learned about Kei Fujiwara. News of "White Night Walk" was confirmed two months ago. When this movie is officially released, she will definitely buy a ticket and go to the theater to see it.

Novel readers in this era are not often poisoned by adaptations of works, so they are still full of expectations for TV movies adapted from their favorite works.

Moreover, at premieres like this, the creative team will also show up to exchange experiences with the media and audiences who come to watch the movie. They can meet many famous figures in the film and media circles, and Nanako Togada is also very excited.

Togada Nanako hesitated for a moment, then bowed respectfully after seeing the two tickets, "Thank you very much, Mr. Itagaki."

"Hi, you're welcome." Itagaki Kazuhiko stood up and waved, "Then I'll leave first. I want to send the manuscript for review and proofreading."

"You walk slowly."

Itagaki Kazuhiko walked out of the reception room, and Togada Nanako also left. When leaving the editorial office, he couldn't help but glance at the cultural wall of Chunqiu Society.

A large photo of Kei Fujiwara has been posted on the wall. This is a treatment that only authors with considerable fame and achievements can receive. They must have won heavyweight awards and their works must be best-selling. Nanako Togada looked at it for a long time, thinking that one day her works would be on this wall...

But just imagining is useless, after all, you have to make results with your own hands. Nanako Togada pursed her lips, cheered herself up secretly, and then walked out of the editorial office.

After leaving the Spring and Autumn Society, Togada Nanako went directly to a pizza shop in Ueno. This pizza shop is called the best pizza shop in Tokyo by Ogata Shinyo because it is owned by her family.

She also said that if Italian chefs want to understand the true meaning of pizza, they have to go to the East and come to their store to learn the craft. For real pizza, it has to have pineapple.

It can't be fresh pineapple, it has to be canned pineapple. Italians don't know anything about pizza, they are a bunch of fundamentalists and old stubborns who don't know how to adapt.

Coincidentally, at the campus cultural festival of a certain year, Ogata Mayo was setting up a stall selling pizza while making such violent remarks, which almost made two Italian students angry to death on the spot.

After arriving at the pizza shop, Ogata Mayo saw her coming. Without saying a word, he brought a small bowl of potato and beef rice bowl in front of Togada Nanako. The bowl was very small, not enough for a meal. Three pieces of potatoes, two pieces of beef, and two spoonfuls of rice can only be tasted.

"This is..." Togata looked around and said with a smile: "I thought I was in the wrong place. Isn't this the best pizza place in Tokyo?"

"It's the best pizza restaurant in Asia." Ogata Shinyo corrected, "But it will soon be the best Western-style food restaurant in Asia. The store plans to open a Western-style food business. This potato and beef rice bowl will be our signature dish. One, made with very tender beef ribs. Try it, I added a little basil leaves, will it taste better?"

Togada Nanako took a small bite, smacked her lips, and said cautiously: "Would it not be in line with Japanese tastes?"

Ogata Shinyo straightened up and brushed his hair: "If you think it tastes bad, just say so. If you don't do anything tactfully, I will adjust the recipe."

"Okay." Togata raised his head and looked at Ogata Mayo, who kept flipping his hair. After noticing his friend's new hairstyle, he immediately praised: "Mayo, your new hairstyle is good, it suits you very well. ,Very cute."

"Right." Ogata Shinyo said happily, "The most popular one now is [Kono Head]. I didn't plan to be a casual hairdresser, but the barber said it was particularly suitable for me, so I gave it a try."
