Traveling through the Tokyo bubble era

Chapter 226 There is nothing wrong with running with you
At the entrance of the Elementary School Hall, Hanyu Hideki told Matsuda Seiko that he had an appointment.

Not exactly lying.

In the afternoon, he needs to attend an international academic exchange meeting organized by the Neon Children's Literature Association.

The venue for this academic exchange is the International Children's Library, a branch of the Ueno National Diet Library in Taito Ward.

But before that, Hideki Hanyu needed to pick up someone from the hotel.

This person's name is Fujino Uemura.

His identity is the president of the Sendai branch of the Neon Children's Literature Association.

Hideki Hanyu's trip to participate in the International Academic Exchange Conference is to be with President Fujino.

The reason is simple, his current position in the Neon Children's Literature Association is the vice president of the Sendai City branch.

He was appointed to the post after he was honored with the Kate Greenway Award.

Hideki Hanyu didn't know that he had been 'promoted' until the letter of appointment was sent to Yunshang Culture.

Therefore, this time he participated in the International Academic Exchange Conference of the Neon Children's Literature Association, in addition to his personal identity, he also represented the Sendai City Branch.

Hideki Hanyu didn't think about gaining a foothold in the association.

After all, he is really busy.

And the mixed association organization needs a lot of entertainment time.

But there is a saying that is good, people in bridal sedan chairs carry people.

People give him face, even if he is a layman, he will not pretend to be noble.

If a title is thrown at him, he certainly won't refuse.

After receiving President Fujino from the hotel, the two of them had a simple lunch and then rushed to the International Children's Library.

When the vehicle arrives at the destination, you can see the participants entering the venue through the window.

Hanyu Hideki personally doesn't take this international children's literature academic exchange meeting seriously.

But for the neon children's literature community, this kind of international-level academic exchange meeting is enough to be called a very important event.

Therefore, it has received a lot of attention.

Therefore, at the entrance of the venue, you can not only see the relevant media taking pictures and interviewing.

There are even NHK television cameras filming.

Looking at this posture, you will definitely see related reports on the NHK news program at night.

"President Tengno, please." Hideki Hanyu invited President Fujino to get off the car.

"Mr. Hanyu, let's go together." Fujino Uemura said.

After the two got out of the car, they walked towards the venue.

As soon as he approached the venue, he immediately attracted the attention of the media.

A group of reporters immediately gathered around, and the flashes kept flashing.

NHK TV's camera was also aimed at Hideki Hanyu for the first time.

Whoever makes Hanyu Hideki attractive is a topic of conversation wherever he goes.

Even professional media hope to attract more readers.

And Hideki Hanyu is undoubtedly the most eye-catching presence in today's exchange meeting.

Among ordinary writers, his appearance, which is better than idol stars, can be described as standing out from the crowd.

Even in terms of appearance and topicality alone, Hideki Hanyu is among the best both at home and abroad.

It's an exaggeration to say.

If you only talk about the public popularity in Neon's own country, all the participants are bundled together, and it is not as good as Hanyu Hideki alone.

"Can Hanyu-sensei accept an interview?"

"What speech did Mr. Hanyu prepare for this academic exchange meeting?"

"Ms. Hanyu..."

Reporters scrambled to interview one by one.

Squeeze aside the fellow Fujino Uemura.

But Fujino Uemura didn't care either. After all, the Sendai City Branch appointed Hanyu Hideki as the vice president, wasn't it for its own influence?
Fortunately, the staff of the association were more responsible. Seeing the reporters rushing up, they immediately protected Hanyu Hideki and walked inside.

Hanyu Hideki said hello and apologized at the same time.

He just came to join in the fun, and was used as a mascot by the association, so he didn't have time to prepare any speeches.

Even if he needs to speak, it is estimated that the speech association has already prepared it, and he will be free to use it.

However, the staff protecting Hideki Hanyu still whispered to Hideki Hanyu when they were moving forward, "Mr. Hanyu, if possible, I hope you can accept an interview with NHK."

Hanyu Hideki thought for a while and said, "Yes."

In such a big battle, if he really went in without saying anything, it must be a bit inappropriate.

It's better to ask NHK for an interview, which can be regarded as an explanation to all media.

But when he walked to the interview area of ​​NHK TV station.

It was found that standing here was a female reporter wearing a dark professional suit skirt, not particularly beautiful, but quite intellectual.

NHK's on-site reporter turned out to be a female reporter.

This is still really rare.

Nowadays, the major TV stations in Neon, in addition to broadcasting news will have female anchors, or weather news will have female anchors.

The moderator group is still dominated by men.

The status of women in the neon workplace is not high, and the same is true for TV stations.

Even many important occasions, such as award ceremonies.

I would rather invite a female star as the host than use my own female anchor.

He also heard Gang Haoyi once said that even a female anchor who sits in the news anchor position looks glamorous on the surface, but she is also living a 'miserable' life behind her back.

Fuji TV requires female anchors not to wear the same clothes every week, but the weekly outfit fee is only a pitiful yen.

This is still a big TV station like Fuji TV, and those small TV stations can be imagined.

Obviously living in the spotlight, used to seeing the prosperity of the world, but the status is low, earning a salary that is not enough to support himself.

It's no wonder that most female anchors will do anything to get to the top of the TV station.

Or take advantage of professional convenience in various ways to find a rich person to be the sponsor.

A female anchor like Kuroyanagi Tetsuko was born, but she can rank first in the income list year after year.

No matter before, now, or in the future, there is only one female anchor in the entire Neon.

The female reporter in front of me was sent by NHK to report on this very important international academic exchange meeting.

Either he has a backing in NHK TV station, or he comes from an extraordinary background.

When Hideki Hanyu stood up in front of the camera, the interview with the female reporter began.

"Is there anything Mr. Hanyu wants to say about this academic exchange?"

"First of all, I am very honored to be invited to participate in this academic exchange meeting. International academic exchanges can help us..."

"It can be seen from the information of the association that apart from his personal identity, Mr. Hanyu is also the representative of the Sendai Children's Literature Association. As for the new identity Mr. Hanyu..."

"The new identity is a kind of recognition for me, and it is also a kind of pressure. It is me who promotes the development and exchange of children's literature around the world..."

……

The interview questions were not many.

However, Hanyu Hideki found that the female reporter spoke well, thought clearly, and had obviously done her homework in advance.

I thought he was a related household, but who would have thought that he would actually have some strength.

"Thank you very much Mr. Hanyu for accepting our interview..."

The female reporter didn't pester her for too long, and ended it in a measured manner.

"I'm also very happy to be interviewed by NHK."

After talking about the scene, Hideki Hanyu turned around and walked towards the venue.

At this time, the inside of the venue was almost full of people.

After President Fujino took Hideki Hanyu to find their seats and sat down, the seminar began without waiting for a long time.

There is actually nothing to say about the process of the seminar. Many of them are high-sounding and useless speeches.

However, to Hideki Hanyu's frustration, his name was often mentioned during the seminar because of the Kate Greenway Award.

In short, his award represents the progress of Asian children's literature.

Since it is in the name of the International Academic Exchange Conference, foreign writers participating in the conference are naturally indispensable.

It's just that there are very few European and American writers, and most of them are Asian writers.

Hanyu Hideki also saw two Chinese children's literature writers, but unfortunately Hanyu Hideki didn't know each other.

After the formal seminar, there will be another free exchange meeting.

At this time, Hideki Hanyu became the focus of the scene.

Many neon writers who came to the conference, or overseas writers, came to take photos with Hideki Hanyu.

The photographer of the association basically stood in front of Hideki Hanyu and never left.

While taking photos, exchange creative experience with peers.

Hideki Hanyu is busier than the president of the association.

After finally being busy until the end of the seminar, Hanyu Hideki felt that his face was stiff with laughter.

As a result, after leaving the venue, the outside media came up again and asked all kinds of questions.

Hanyu Hideki was still interviewed by the NHK female reporter under the arrangement of the association staff.

After answering a few questions, the female reporter offered her business card while thanking her.

Out of courtesy, Hideki Hanyu also sent his business card.

When he returned to the car, he glanced at the business card given to him by the female reporter.

Only then did I know that the female reporter who interviewed him was originally called Kuniya Yuko.

"No wonder it's so professional, it turns out it's this one."

Hideki Hanyu recalled some memories about this Yuko Kuniya.

When it comes to making money, Kuniya Yuko is certainly not as good as Kuroyanagi Tetsuko.

But in terms of professional ability, Kuniya Yuko is estimated to be even better.

Of course, it refers to future generations.

Hideki Hanyu's biggest impression of Yuko Kuniya is that she once interviewed...

Forget it, the name cannot be said.

Among the neon female anchors, Yuko Kuniya is definitely a benchmark figure.

He also won the Kikuchi Kan Prize.

This kind of reporter can only be published by NHK TV station.

Several major private TV stations like Neon completely regard female anchors as consumables.

After all, the private TV station, which claims that female anchors only have a 30-year-old shelf life, hopes to cultivate some deep female anchors.

However, Hideki Hanyu was emotional for a moment, and quickly put this matter behind him.

After all, after traveling, I saw too many celebrities.

A female anchor who will be a little famous in the future is really not worth thinking about for too long.

After sending Chairman Fujino back to the hotel, Hanyu Hideki was ready to go home.

Thinking that Yasuko Sawaguchi had already left for Hokkaido in the afternoon, Kyoko Koizumi also ran a schedule to promote the single.

After Hideki Hanyu went to the house in Chiyoda District to pick up Nako Lulu.

I returned to the master house that I haven't lived in for a long time.

Although there are fewer people living in Master House, the house is still very tidy because of the regular maintenance of housekeeping staff.

The little female cat who grew up in the Wanshiwu looked very excited when she returned to the old place, and started to walk up and down inside and out.

As for Hideki Hanyu.

After a busy day, he lay down on the deck chair on the balcony on the second floor after taking a shower.

It is far away from Koishikawa Korakuen, which is shrouded in the sunset.

It has been a long time since I saw such a scene.

meow-

After inspecting the territory, the kitten jumped onto Hideki Hanyu's lap.

Rest with the master.

……

The International Academic Exchange Conference lasted for two days.

Hanyu Hideki obediently went to participate for two days.

And the two days is not the end for Hideki Hanyu.

The activities of the Neon Children's Literature Association are over.

It was followed by an invitation from the Neon Literature Association.

Then there are other associations.

During the period, there are other organizations, or exchange meetings and cultural salons held by seniors in the cultural circle.

Hideki Hanyu, who just won the award, is naturally the target everyone is vying to invite.

Whenever there was time, Hideki Hanyu did not refuse.

It wasn't until September that the various activities finally came to an end.

And Hideki Hanyu's performance was once again unanimously recognized by the group.

After all, after winning the grand prize, he was still so humble and sensible, which gave enough face to the associations and seniors.

Everyone was happy, so naturally there was no shortage of praise for not having money.

There were a lot of reports in the media that seniors in the cultural circles praised Hideki Hanyu.

From the public's point of view, Hideki Hanyu's reputation in the neon culture circle is simply not very good.

According to media reports, Hideki Hanyu has become a leader of the younger generation in the neon literary world.

And besides praise.

The picture book world has once again started to help Hanyu Hideki to win the Neon Culture Medal.

Once Hideki Hanyu received the Cultural Medal.

The status of the picture book in the neon literature world will undoubtedly rise to a higher level.

Therefore, these seniors are not only helping Hanyu Hideki, but also helping themselves.

But even if Hideki Hanyu has just won the Kate Greenway Award, it is not easy to win the Cultural Medal.

If you lower the grade and go to promote the Purple Ribbon Medal, you can still have a lot of confidence.

After all, compared with the Cultural Medal, the Purple Ribbon Medal is easier to obtain.

For example, A Jiuyou, who produced "A Star Is Born", won the Medal with Purple Ribbon in later generations.

But the problem is that there is an age limit for the Medal with Purple Ribbon, you must be 50 years old.

In 2003 this restriction will be lifted, but not yet.

Therefore, the picture book world can only choose the more difficult cultural medal.

……

Painting in the Clouds, Office of Asako Hirohashi.

Hirohashi Asako put down a newspaper with Hanyu Hideki's photo printed on it, and said to Hanyu Hideki who was sitting on the sofa.

"It seems that Hanyu-san's hard work has not been in vain. Recently, there are many calls in the media for you to receive a cultural medal."

"It's just the seniors in the circle helping."

Hideki Hanyu actually wanted to say, do you think I've been working so hard lately in the social circle for nothing?

"Is Hanyu-san sure about it?"

"Are you sure about anything?"

"Of course I got the Cultural Medal."

"Hehe, the momentum is not small, but it is still difficult to get the medal."

Hanyu Hideki was not being modest.

The Cultural Medal is not the Purple Ribbon Medal, so it is not so easy to get it.

Among other things, just looking at one of the conditions for obtaining the Cultural Medal, you can see how difficult it is.

That's the Nobel laureate.

Although Kate Greenway has some status in the picture book world.

But looking at the world, compared with the Nobel Prize, the influence is still too different.

And he wants to get the cultural medal, and there is still the biggest shortcoming.

That is age.

In his early twenties, he was still too young.

But it doesn't matter if you can't get it.

There is such a commotion every year, and it is not bad to be a runner with a cultural medal all the year round.

For example, the little plum who accompanied the Oscars.

Another example is Haruki Murakami who accompanied the Nobel Prize in Literature.

Don't think it sounds bad to run with you.

But as long as he runs with him a few times, gradually, everyone will take it for granted that he is qualified to win the cultural medal.

The reason why I didn't take it, whether it was because of age, qualifications, or bad luck.

Public opinion will always find a reason for him.

On the contrary, no one will question his strength and status.

Obviously did not get the cultural medal.

But there is a quasi-cultural medal winner, or a candidate for the cultural medal.

So there is nothing wrong with running with you.

　Thanks for the reward of Roaming Water.

　　Thanks to the commander of Debang for the reward of 2000 book coins.

　　Thank you for the reward from Lianyoubaa's father who was recommended by Mei Yuyou.
