Chapter 19 Higashino-sensei and his genius plan!(1/2)
"Well, sorry, I was wrong! You should call me Teacher Higashino. I think this time the teacher just hopes to ask me to help me with some advice. Which of these two endings is better?"
"..." Dongye Qiang nodded with a plain expression.
To be honest, he was already smiling.
I, Higashino, are now "Teacher Higashino", publishing and participating in the random walks, these are the little things.
I almost couldn't suppress my inner excitement.
Kuki naturally didn't know Teacher Higashino's inner activities, he was still thinking about novels.
If we say that the book "After School" is the best novel, of course it is wrong.
However, it must be admitted that this novel is very excellent.
Especially this second ending.
In fact, our traditional literature has rules to follow. For example, in terms of the ending, it will be a tragedy.
The happy ending is a film and television drama.
Traditional literature, which can leave traces in the history of human literature, is mostly a tragic ending.
Because only tragedy can deeply shock readers' hearts.
Even this rule is something that teachers will tell students in the literature department of the university.
Both endings of "After School" are actually OK.
Ending 1: Two people in love cannot be together, and this helplessness is also a tragedy.
The ending second is much more complicated.
The death of the male protagonist is also a tragedy in itself, and doing this seems to be a misunderstanding, but there is also a profound tragic logic in it.
Teacher Aso knew that the relationship between her and Maeshima was taboo, so she had some tendency to self-destruct.
What is more profound is the students' aid, Jiaoji.
This incident really made RB people blush, but there was nothing we could do about this. This phenomenon happened very early and early.
At present, novels, comics, and films and TV dramas have revealed this phenomenon... Some are more banned.
By the way, there is also "Initial D".
No matter how fast Takumi's 86 is, he can't catch up with the uncle's Mercedes-Benz...
Maybe this topic is not new, but what Mr. Higashino wrote is shocking and profound enough.
What is contained in this is...
"It's despair, right? Teacher Higashino wants to write down the despair of some students at present." Kuki solemnly emphasized the word "despair".
This society has become solidified.
Only a very small number of people have the opportunity to change their lives.
Most people have no way to make any changes, and even more people are simply downgrading.
Kuki felt that he had discovered what the book "After School" connotation is, and Teacher Higashino may have exposed social problems by writing this campus mystery story.
He looked at Teacher Higashino on the opposite side with earnestness.
But Kokoshi Higashino shook his head.
This surprised Kuki even more. Did he think it was wrong?
But I heard Higashino say in a calm tone: "Editor Kuki, in fact, I used a trick on you."
"Ah?" Jiumu was stunned for hearing this.
"It's okay to say it's a trap." Kokoto Higashino continued: "You should have noticed that this manuscript is written to be submitted to you."
Jiumu nodded...yes, he had some questions about this.
Now, it should be the time for the answer.
Koto Higashino said: "From the beginning to the end, I'm just doing one thing, okay, or strictly speaking, two things. I did write two endings in the novel "After School", but I have my own judgment on these two endings.
But the real key is that one is publishing, and the other is that I want to compete with this novel to enjoy it."
Jiu Mu was still a little dazed when he heard this, because in his opinion, wasn’t this a normal thing?
Kotoshi Higashino could see that, he shook his head and continued: "Editor Kuki, what I want is not ordinary publishing. Of course, regarding Ranbu Reward, this naturally requires fair competition, but in terms of publishing, I hope your club and editors can help me to the greatest extent."
"This..." Jiumu was a little confused and asked, "What do you mean to the maximum?"
Koto Higashino pointed to the piles of mystery novels, and then said: "I have purchased those novels for a while. I will introduce them again. My name is Koto Higashino. I am a middle school student in Okinawa Dari Village. I will be admitted to high school next year, but my family's financial situation does not support me to enter a private high school."
No one would have thought that Kokoshi Higashino actually told him his true situation.
And Kuki was so fascinated by the fact that he even had a wonderful experience than the novel.
Kokoto Higashino talked about these practical conditions.
The family is poor.
My father even decided to mortgage the grocery store to support Higashino Kokuro.
This is why my father treats you like Jiumu.
But, my teacher Dongye has a solution.
By writing novels, you can earn money, so that the tuition fee will be settled.
When he talked about this, Jiumu couldn't help but exclaim "Si Guoyi".
But the father of the Higashino family did not agree. He felt that writing novels was not reliable, especially novels written by a child, could they really be sold for money?
Higashino Kuro, there is a solution.
"Mr. Kuki, you have come, so it will be much easier for my father. But what about the others? What about people outside Okinawa?"
This question surprised Jiumu suddenly.
Teacher Higashino was so awesome that he actually thought of this.
"So..." Higashino Kok said it directly without delay, "I hope that you and the publishing house will hide my true identity, that is, "After School" will be published, or I will have works published in the future, and the author of these works will be my information, so don't make it public."
When Jiumu heard this, he suddenly realized: "The mysterious novelist... Si Guoyi! This may have a boost to sales!"
Higashino nodded, but shook his head again.
It's so strange that Jiumu really can't understand.
Kokoshi Higashino then pointed to these two endings, one by one.
Kuki followed Teacher Higashino's fingers, he looked and thought about it.
Suddenly.
"I understand! I understand this time!" Kuki's eyes widened and said excitedly: "These two endings are actually two choices! If Teacher Higashino is a middle school novelist, then you have to use the ending one. This ending is in line with Teacher Higashino's identity! And Teacher Higashino is a mysterious novelist, and the ending two is completely OK! The ending two is in line with what a mysterious novelist can write..."
Kuki was so excited that he never expected that the child in front of him... No, he is Teacher Higashino!
If we look at it from the perspective of depth and shock, the obvious ending will be weak.
But what if this ending was written by a middle school student?
That would be amazing.
But the obviously stronger ending second is not in line with people's perception of a middle school student.
In the minds of RB people, a child who can write such a terrible ending is definitely a monster.
Therefore, as long as Teacher Higashino's identity is exposed, it cannot be used.
Moreover, the setting of the mysterious novelist will indeed have an effect on the sales of novels.
This is why, Teacher Higashino nodded and shook his head just now.
There is now a mysterious female writer in Italy, the author of "Hate Love", Elena Fellet, and no one knows who she is.
But Jiu Mu was speechless for a moment and still had hesitation on his face.
At this time, Kotoshi Higashino said again: "Editor Kuki, do you still remember the story of Ichiran Ramen?"
After hearing this, Jiumu nodded heavily and said, "Teacher! I understand! I must use the ending 2! The teacher will also be the most mysterious writer of RB! I, Masao Kumu, swear by my own life, that I will definitely help the teacher achieve this!"
In an instant, the dust settled.
Why?
The story of Ichiran ramen mentioned by Kokoshi Higashino can be said to be well-known in RB.
The current Yilan Ramen is famous, thanks to the contemporary helmsman, whose name is Ji Qingxue. If you don’t want to talk about business, the key is that he has a particularly classic story.
At that time, as an apprentice, Ji-Ching Xue made noodles for the same guest for three consecutive days. During these three days, three bowls of noodles were all completed by Ji-Ching Xue. Moreover, there was no difference, all of them were Hakata ramen, and they were all the same techniques.
However, during these three days, as long as Ji Xi learned that this side was made by him, the guest would say, "You didn't do it well." If this side was made by the master, the guest would smile with satisfaction.
So Ji Qingxue thought of the current appearance of Yilan Ramen.
Each person has a small desk, and there is a bowl of ramen in front, which cannot be seen by the chef and waiter, and even there are partitions on both sides.
To be continued...
