Chapter 111: The Lonely Gourmet

Mizuhara Yui submitted the planning application, and before the application was approved, she directly gathered people and held a planning meeting in advance.

This time we used a new team, all with new faces. The chief cameraman was introduced by Hideaki Shibasaki, who had been responsible for several morning dramas. Kei Fujiwara went to watch those dramas, and there was nothing wrong with his technique.

Kei Fujiwara introduced his project to the creative team in the conference room: "The characteristics of "The Lonely Gourmet" are relaxed and everyday, and a delicacy will appear in each episode. The focus should be on the process of the protagonist Goro Inokashira enjoying the food.

"

"Inokashira Goro's identity is the owner of an imported grocery store by himself. He will look for delicious food in the streets and alleys during his work breaks. The restaurants that appear in the play must also exist in reality."

"In the planning book before you, there are some restaurants that I have been to that I think taste pretty good. Of course, if you have a favorite restaurant, you can share it and film it in the drama." Keimichi Fujiwara, "

The preparation work of the production team before the start of filming is to search for stores everywhere, and our creative team will try it ourselves. If we think it tastes good, it will be officially included in the shooting target."

Fujiwara Kei smiled at Mizuhara Yui and said: "So Mizuhara-san, I have to rely on you for the budget of this drama. People like us have big appetites."

Mizuhara Yui said: "Oh, it looks like we are going to have another fight with the deputy commander."

Everyone burst into laughter, and Fujiwara Kei added: "By the way, there is no limit to the type of restaurant you can choose. Ramen shop, izakaya, yakiniku restaurant or sushi restaurant are all acceptable, but there is only one requirement, it must be a civilian restaurant and it must meet the Japanese taste.

Average consumption."

"Understood." Xiaolin Xiuzao nodded.

"Ms. Mizuhara, please insert a five-second information solicitation advertisement at the end of this issue of "Anthropological Observation" to collect the names of delicious restaurants from the audience."

Mizuhara Yui nodded: "Okay."

"Next, let's discuss the issue of actors. There is only one main actor in this drama, Inokashira Goro. Do you have any recommended actors?"

The planning meeting ended quickly. Xiaolin Xiuzou walked out of the conference room, secretly admiring him.

The ideas are very clear, and detailed work plans have been arranged for everyone. But at the same time, I feel a little bit secretly thinking that the content is too bland. Will anyone watch it during the late night show of Plasma and Qi Fei?

While "The Lonely Gourmet" was in the early stages of preparations, the Spring and Autumn Club in Chiyoda Ward also started this month's serialization meeting.

When Shinichi Kawaguchi heard that Keita Shiba had released a new work, he hurriedly read the first chapter several times. He didn't see anything very interesting in the first chapter, but he also strongly agreed with Keita Shiba's idea of ​​creating a series.

In recent issues of "Spring and Autumn Literature Appreciation", no serialized works are about to be completed, but in order to leave space for Sima Keita's works, one of the bottom works was forcibly completed.

At the meeting, the serialization time of "Genius Detective Mitarai Kyoshi" was set. Promotional posters will be produced in advance next month. When the first chapter is serialized, the magazine cover will also use the character promotional poster of "Mitaraike".

The sales volume of "Spring and Autumn Literature Appreciation" magazine has not increased for a long time. Kawaguchi Nobu is in urgent need of a popular work to increase the sales volume of the magazine.

Now the editorial department directly regards Sima Guitai as a tube of adrenaline, but no one knows what effect this tube of medicine will have.

Keita Sima's return to the mystery world has also attracted the attention of the mystery world. He once publicly praised "White Night Journey", which boosted the popularity of the book, and directly claimed at the Naoki Prize Award Ceremony that ""White Night Journey" is the best book of all time"

Chiba Shinichi, who was shortlisted for "the best work among the works", is also famous for his vicious eyes.

He stated in his column that he would pay special attention to Sima Guitai's new work. He also said that he would treat this work with more stringent evaluation standards. If Sima Guitai's level deteriorates in the slightest, he will criticize it mercilessly.

.

Kei Fujiwara was sitting in his office, reading Shinichi Chiba's column and couldn't help but smile bitterly.

become famous

The price of fame stared at him even more.

I'm afraid that the slightest flaws in the work will be magnified infinitely in the future, but for a creator, bad reviews are never the most terrible thing. The most terrible thing is the lack of reviews.

Putting down the newspaper, Kei Fujiwara went to the reference room.

The actor who plays Goro Inokashira needs to be between 45 and 55 years old. He must be approachable and have the appearance of an ordinary uncle, not the charming old gentleman.

Actors like this are not uncommon. Kei Fujiwara felt a little depressed when he looked at photos of actors with uncle faces.

This is not as good as choosing actresses. You will lose track of time just by looking at them. These uncles are the most real side of the entertainment industry...

After some searching, I found a few satisfactory candidates, so I wrote down their names and checked the time. It was 12 noon, and it was time for lunch.

Kei Fujiwara left the reference room and walked out of the Fukuyamadai headquarters. He saw Osamu Kobayashi eating a bento from a distance.

Fujiwara Keiko couldn't bear to work like them for most of the day and only eat plum rice. Food was his fuel.

The day before yesterday, the latest episode of "Anthropological Observation" was broadcast. At the end of the program, information about gourmet restaurants was solicited from the public. From that night to the next day, the TV station received many calls.

The crew of "The Lonely Gourmet" recorded these store names one by one, sorted them from high to low according to the number of times the audience mentioned them, and then made a form and gave it to Kei Fujiwara.

Kei Fujiwara took a brief look, and one of the shops selling Northeastern cuisine caught his attention. It was also in the port area, some distance away from the TV station.

So at noon the next day, Kei Fujiwara took the train directly to the store.

The store was located on the corner of the street. It had a small storefront and looked like a newly opened store. There were four banners hanging at the door.

Kei Fujiwara smiled and saw that it was a store run by Chinese people.

It's a pity that the Japanese don't understand the meaning of the guise. Not to mention the Japanese, many young Chinese people don't know what the guise hanging outside the restaurant means.

The number of banners outside the hotel cannot be hung randomly. The number of banners reflects the standard and level of a restaurant. One banner represents an ordinary small shop with few dishes and a place to fill your stomach; two banners mean that a certain number of home-cooked dishes can be prepared.

But the level is limited; the four pretense means that I can put on a banquet, the chef is good, and I can make any dish you can name. I heard that the famous Northeastern dish: deep-fried ice noodles is causing trouble.

People wanted to use a pretense to make things difficult for the chef, but it turned out to be true.

Another saying is that there are no three guises in Northeast China. One theory is that "three guises" are homophonic to "lying".

Kei Fujiwara walked into the hotel, and the bald boss said in somewhat broken Japanese: "Welcome, sit down wherever you want."

Kei Fujiwara walked into the store. He just arrived at the restaurant and the store was half full. The business was pretty good.

Kei Fujiwara found a chair and sat down, looked at the menu, and said: "One order of pot-roasted pork and one order of ants climbing a tree."

Just as the bald boss was about to leave with the menu, Fujiwara Kei added: "By the way, I want the old-fashioned method, especially the pot-wrapped pork, without ketchup, and without improved methods."

The boss glanced at him and said, "The old-fashioned way will choke your nose."

"I know."

The boss nodded, and then a voice came from not far away: "Excuse me, what is the old-fashioned way?"

Kei Fujiwara turned around and saw a thin middle-aged man in a suit asking politely.

When the middle-aged man saw Kei Fujiwara, he nodded slightly and said, "It turns out to be Mr. Fujiwara. I'm sorry."
