Chapter 485 The Remnants of the Old Era(1/2)
In fact, when writing "The Victor is Justice", Koto Higashino studied Japanese law, which is a must, but there are really many strange things.
This adoption situation is pretty good, but what is really interesting is something else.
For example, why are China and South Korea doing e-sports good now, while Japan, which is one of the three East Asian countries and is also the world's first-class gaming power, has no talent in this regard?
It's very simple, because Japanese laws have strict regulations on this aspect.
That is, any reward about electronic games cannot exceed 100,000 yen in any form.
Simply put, the highest award for a competition can only be given 100,000 yuan. No matter what means, it is illegal to exceed this limit.
Of course, this is the Japanese version of anti-addiction. Although almost all Japanese people play games, this anti-addiction is basically useless, but it has very much restricted the development of Japanese e-sports.
If a Japanese really uses e-sports as a means of making a living and goes everywhere to compete, then this person... is likely to starve to death on the way to participate.
Sometimes my mind is so deadly in this country. I don’t know what changes have happened. I saw a big business opportunity, so I let it go.
If this law really makes it easier for Japan to be addicted to games, but in fact, many companies are still eating this bite, of course, the more people they play, the better.
This type of event is really too many in Japan.
Therefore, Kokoshi Higashino would not do such a thing.
There is such a situation now.
"Teacher, that, that..."
"Jiumu, what exactly do you want to say?"
"Teacher, wuwu...you didn't forget Kuki, right?"
"How could this happen?"
As the president of Hatano Bookstore, Kuki's life is still very good, but many recent things have made him a little nervous.
A big publishing house that is so powerful, the website they created was actually lost to Hope Sect. Now the website is in name only.
Here, it must be said.
Kamisama!
Invincible!
Of course this is correct, but looking at some of Kamisama's recent actions, it seems...
Will Teacher Guiwu treat the Internet as his main active platform in the future?
Yes, there is just such concern.
Jiumu is really worried that the teacher will abandon the traditional publishing industry, which is the president of his small bookstore.
So, after holding it in for a long time, Jiumu came to find Teacher Guiwu.
Higashino Kok is so smart, of course he understands it as soon as he hears it. It's just this matter... He scratched his head first.
I'm a little embarrassed.
"Teacher, I, Kumu, are loyal to the teacher!"
Faced with such a sudden sensation, what else can Higashino Kok say?
"Kuki, don't worry, actually, I have many tasks for you." Koko Toshino actually did not ignore this traditional publishing channel, after all, this is in Japan.
Japan has a strong traditional power, no matter which industry it is, so of course, Higashino Kok would not let this go, as he already occupied a good battlefield.
However, Kuki is a veteran publishing industry person after all. "Teacher, but now I hope the success of the Internet is not enough to shake the traditional Japanese publishing market, but this impact is still very strong. In the future, from a global perspective, the strength of the Internet is already a certain fact."
As a person who has been the president, Kuki has a much broader vision than before.
Kokushi Higashino sighed very much that the people who followed him were at least much stronger than many stubborn guys in Japan, but this was the case, and he had already made arrangements.
"Yes, the Internet is indeed very strong, but Japan also has its own problems. This country is sometimes too stubborn. Even Teacher Guiwu is difficult to reverse anything in a short period of time. Maybe the future will be different, but the time must be quite short. This requires a long process, Kuki!"
This passage is quite tragic, but the last two words...
"Hayi!" Jiu Mu felt excited. Kamisama still cared about the world, and she was so grand.
But then, Kotoshi Higashino said, "Since that's the case, then we can only do our own good. Can't you still see the works of Mr. Guiwu? If you are suitable for publishing on the Internet, then you can get them on the Internet. If you are suitable for traditional routes, of course, you will go to traditional publishing. This is not very good. In addition, "It's Your Turn" and "The Winner is Justice" can actually publish physical books, so..."
"This..." Kuki was a little confused because the teacher was talking about the same thing as Shueisha?
Of course, there are differences, but since it has been published on the Internet and is published in a traditional way, will it repeat the mistakes of Shueisha and cause the decline in traffic on the Internet?
Or it is that there are not many people who buy traditional publishings. Will this cause the reputation of Teacher Guiwu to suffer?
Koto Higashino smiled and said, "It's very simple. The publication on the Internet is still going on. In terms of physical books, there are many special publications. Of course, simple versions must also be available, but the amount is not too much. The key is some luxurious hardcover books and some commemorative versions. Don't you understand these, Kuki? Anyway, it's just to make more gimmicks and carry more commemorative meanings. Well, that's it."
When Jiumu heard this, his eyes lit up, "Hayi! Teacher is indeed amazing!"
That's right, in short, it's not about quantity and quality.
This is indeed a good idea.
But Jiumu is also a smart person after all, he understands...
"Teacher, I understand, fully understand, but there are always some..."
"Jiu Mu, the times are moving forward. Of course, traditional books also have markets, come on."
"Teacher, is this?"
"Give you a new work."
New work?
Jiumu's eyes lit up again, and Teacher Guiwu's new work is here again.
marvelous!
Kotoshi Higashino's new work is naturally the "Naya Grocery Store", "this is it."
"Oh ha." Jiu Mu held it in his hand, unable to hide his excitement.
Kamisama still didn't forget her!
In fact, just Jiumu just now had this idea in his mind.
I am a remnant party from the old era, and there is no ship that can carry my own in the new era.
Jiumu also realized the feeling of Whitebeard Jun.
But for now, Kamisama still gave herself hope.
Kamisama will not abandon himself!
Kokushi Higashino was prepared like this, so naturally this "Raya Grocery Store" still has to go through the traditional publishing channel, but he wanted to listen to the suggestions of a few literary masters before.
Maybe it’s because I’ll get addicted to listening to other people’s praise, blushing.
Now that's the case, let's take it out and hand it over to Kumu.
It should be OK too.
Jiumu left happily as if he was a child.
Kokoshi Higashino felt good when he looked at him.
But next, Teacher Guiwu's focus should be in July.
...
Kuki returned to Hatano Bookstore, and was still the narrow president's office.
There is no way, Japan is like this, especially in places like Jimbocho, it is very rare to have a world.
Hatano Bookstore is actually very good now. It was originally a small bookstore, but now many book fans know it. This is Teacher Guigo's own bookstore, and many of the books can be found here.
Jiumu opened his briefcase with a very pious attitude and took out the manuscript inside.
The name "Raya Grocery Store" is really too simple, and it doesn't seem to be a name that looks like the same movie.
But it’s nothing. After all, it’s the work of Mr. Guigo. Besides, didn’t Miura Shin-Yuan get Naoki Award before?
"Tata Convenience House", well, that's it.
So, this work by Mr. Guiwu...
Jiumu just looked at the beginning and he was attracted.
This Okawa Ryunosuke, he, is so similar to me, Kuki!
Jiumu, who was engaged in editorial work, also had the dream of writing in his early years, but he did not dare to take this step.
In terms of later career, if it weren't for the appearance of Teacher Guigo, I would probably be the same as this Ryunosuke Okawa.
Being fired, divorced, and then finding a place to live your life alone.
Maybe this hasn't happened, but this is not surprising at all in Japan.
Middle-aged Japanese men can simply distinguish their family situation. Those with half-white hair and looking like a little old man are typical of having children at home and being scolded by their superiors at work.
Moreover, the poisonous tongue that Okawa Ryunosuke showed in his reply, this... is actually jealousy.
I originally had it, but in many cases, I didn’t show it at all, or in other words, I had no chance to show it at all. I had to strictly control myself.
To be continued...
