Chapter 120: Exploration

"Can't you negotiate the price?" Kei Fujiwara asked.

"It seems that the attitude is very determined."

Kei Fujiwara thought for a while, "Have we already reached cooperation intentions with other TV stations, so they are using high remuneration to reject us?"

Mizuhara Yui was startled for a moment, then thought about it carefully and said, "This is also possible."

How about I go talk to him in person? Fujiwara Kei thought to himself, but as soon as he changed his mind, he smiled to himself.

Forget it, your status is not high enough that you can solve all problems just by showing up. The director and producer didn't let go when they came in person, so what's the use of you going?

"Well, if that's the case, then I won't force it." Fujiwara Keido said, but he still added a probing question: "Maybe five million yen is not impossible?"

Shibazaki Hideaki quickly interrupted: "Five million in salary plus copyright sharing is not without precedent. But with Mayawan-san's current status and popularity, we cannot afford this price, and the station will not agree. Moreover.

From what the agent said, it seems that their copyright share is also going to be increased. Once actors are mentioned about high pay, I am afraid that all the projects we will film in the future will suddenly increase a lot of pressure."

Before today, the creators had estimated Teruo Maya's salary. According to usual standards, it should be around 2.7 million yen. 5 million is indeed twice as much. It is probably because he won the Academy Award for Best Actor.

That’s probably why it’s increased so much.

Moreover, Shibasaki Hideaki's considerations are not unreasonable. If Teruo Asagi is promised a salary of 5 million yen, what if he collaborates with other actors in the future and they also follow the same example and get a salary increase?

Sometimes actors are often chosen when casting. It is the same as buying things in an antique market. There is an intelligence network among the vendors. As long as you are stupid and generous once, you will never buy cheap things again. No matter who sells your things in the future,

I have to pay a premium of 30%, aren’t you generous? How can I be worthy of you if I don’t increase the price?

In fact, between a salary of 5 million yen and an actor whose image and temperament resemble Tamura Masakazu, Kei Fujiwara's heart is inclined to spend money to choose a suitable actor, even if the actor offers a higher price.

Maybe Fujiwara Kei still has some original mindset in his heart. Maybe he feels deep down that 5 million yen is nothing. Compared with later generations of China Entertainment, this is just a drop. But Mizuhara Yui and Shibazaki Hideaki are firmly opposed.

Hire a so-called "suitable" actor at a price so much higher than the market price.

An actor who fits the role is certainly important. But no matter what, as long as the price is too much more than it should be, it should be decisively abandoned. This is the rational judgment given by Mizuhara Yui as a producer. In this regard, she seems

More sensible than Kei Fujiwara.

"Fujiwara." Seeing that Fujiwara Kei was still hesitating, Mizuhara Yui was afraid that he would insist on using Maya Teruo, so she quickly said: "And your judgment is not unreasonable. Maya Teruo has probably cooperated with other producers.

The company has reached its intention, so it plans to reject our offer with a high salary."

"But at the same time, we also want to test our bottom line. If we agree to his request, it means that we can accept a salary of 5 million yen. What if he still refuses us? By then, we have not chosen the right one.

Actors have also caused adverse effects..."

In fact, Mizuhara Yui's statement was intended to scare Fujiwara Kei. This kind of thing is unlikely to happen. If it is true as she said, Maya Teruo proposed the price first, and after some bargaining, Fujiwara Kei agreed, and he

If you regret it again, then this is just a joke.

If he really does this, what if you are a senior in the industry? This is Japan after all, a producer-centered country, and actors have inherent disadvantages in terms of status when facing writers like Kei Fujiwara.

Not to mention Kei Fujiwara, a newcomer who is only 23 years old and has produced national-level TV series and phenomenal monsters.

Are you treating me like the sixth child? Okay, let's take our time in the future. At your age, I won't even retire when you die. I guarantee that your old age will be full of excitement.

Therefore, Fujiwara Kei feels that the inner activities of Maya Teruo and his agent are probably like this——

Although intentions have been established with other programs, "Furuhata Rensaburo"

》This drama seems to be pretty good, and the screenwriter is a screenwriter who has produced good works. But in my heart, I still prefer that drama.

Did you just give Fukuyamadai back? Wait, instead of rejecting it directly, you might as well try it out by offering a high salary first. If you agree, then you can star in "Furuhata Jinzaburo", and the salary will go up from then on. If you don't agree,

No loss either.

"Alas..." Fujiwara Kei couldn't help but sigh. When Mizuhara Yui heard this sigh, she knew that Fujiwara Kei had given up on Maya Teru, and her heart dropped.

It seems that the status is still not enough. Fujiwara Kei thought to himself.

I originally thought that with the production of "Long Vacation" and "White Night Walk", I would not say that people would be impressed, but at least I could convince my colleagues. If I had to choose between him and other producers, I would regard him as the best choice.

But in fact, it seems that the two masterpieces are still not enough for people to choose. The wall built by Kei Fujiwara's works is not solid enough to make people trust him 100%.

A look of loneliness flashed across Kei Fujiwara's eyes, but soon, this look was replaced by another look of determination.

Fujiwara Kei stopped worrying about Maya Teruo, raised his head and looked at Mizuhara Yui and said: "Miss Mizuhara, please give me a copy of all the videos of the audition that day. I want to take it home and watch it again."

"good."

"Also, give me a copy of all the information on the actors aged between 40 and 50 who can be invited. I plan to make a careful selection."

"Leave it to me."

Fujiwara Kei turned around, picked up two stacks of paper from his desk, and handed them to Shibasaki Hideaki, "Director Shibasaki, this is the script for the third episode of "Furahata Shinsaburo" and the storyboard for the first episode... I'm still just doing it for you.

For reference."

"You are still so fast..." Shibasaki Hideaki said with emotion.

Kei Fujiwara wrote the script very quickly, so fast that it put Hideaki Shibasaki to shame. Every time the filming progress was delayed, Hideaki Shibasaki would feel anxious thinking about Kei Fujiwara's speed.

Not only does it write quickly, but the completion and text quality are also astonishingly high.

Screenwriters are the most "hard-working" profession among the crew. Although "hard-working" is not necessarily caused subjectively by the screenwriters. However, the inability of many screenwriting teams to produce high-quality scripts within the specified time is indeed a problem for many directors.

But when working with Fujiwara Kei, Shibasaki Hideaki never worried about the script not keeping up with the filming schedule. Instead, he would often take the initiative to review himself in meetings because he was filming too slowly...

This is relatively rare in the entire broadcast industry.

In the evening, Kei Fujiwara brought a bunch of video materials and written materials home and stuffed them into a cardboard box, intending to take them home to read.

As a result, she met Kono Aoi in the elevator. When Kono Aoi saw Fujiwara Kei carrying cardboard boxes, she was shocked: "Fujiwara-sensei, you are fired?!"

Kei Fujiwara: "..."

"Which company are you going to change jobs to next? Can you still take me to taste delicious food in the future?"

"Aoi, good boy, help me get the box." Fujiwara Kei said with a smile.

"Yeah, okay." Kono Aoi took the carton, and Fujiwara Kei took out a bunch of information from the carton, rolled it into a stick, and hit it on Kono Aoi's stupid little head.

"it hurts!

!」

"Teacher Fujiwara, it's not me who fired you!"
