godfather of tokyo entertainment

To enter the film festival, you need to make an appointment in advance, and you must be an industry insider, or students from the film and television department can come in to watch the film through a relationship with the professor.

Within a few steps of entering the grand theater of the film festival, Kei Fujiwara met several students from Tokyo University of Literature and Art. Kei Fujiwara and Nagaharu Ohno each took a movie screening schedule. The screening time of "Suddenly Looking Back" was on Thursday this afternoon.

Click for the premiere, in Theater 4.

Kei Fujiwara and Nagaharu Ohno looked at the timetable in their hands and decided which movie they wanted to watch. For an audience, choosing a good movie is more or less a gamble.

Therefore, most viewers will judge whether a movie is good or not by observing whether it has a director or actor they like, or what its reputation is.

However, these films at the film festival were all shot by unknown directors and passerby actors. Fujiwara Kei and Ono Nagaharu were the first audiences at the film festival, and no one provided them with lightning protection, so they had to watch the films in a blind box.

Use the movie title and a one-sentence movie introduction to find movies that you are slightly interested in.

By the way, the one-sentence introduction to "Suddenly Looking Back" is: a love letter to the creator. Kei Fujiwara scratched his head. Isn't this a bit too literary and insipid?

If he were a passerby, he would have no interest in going into the theater to watch the movie. But then I thought about it, this is not a commercial movie after all.

Movie screenings are for the purpose of winning awards. It is not very important how many viewers can be attracted. The main task is to attract special audiences from the crowd.

There are 18 special invited audiences, that is, the reviewers who decide which film wins, and these reviewers have the task of watching all the participating films regardless of whether they are interested or not.

In addition to the few reviewers, the general audience is mostly composed of film critics, independent filmmakers and some media reporters.

They will also express their professional opinions on the film, but unlike reviewers, they have no mission and do not need to watch the entire film.

I will only watch videos shot by acquaintances or those that have gained a good reputation within the past ten days.

In this film festival, they are more like a group of ordinary audiences, watching films selectively.

Kei Fujiwara and Nagaharu Ohno had somewhat different tastes in watching movies. They chose different movies to watch, so they separated temporarily.

However, after walking a few steps, I heard a burst of hearty laughter: "Hahaha, Fujiwara-san, what a coincidence, I met you here." Fujiwara Kei followed the sound, and it turned out to be Hidaka Junaki.

Junaki Hidaka is a fat man with a mustache and a pair of black-rimmed glasses. His personal image is very eye-catching. He walked towards Kei Fujiwara with a smile and stretched out his hand: "Congratulations! "Homeless Child" has entered the historical level.

Ratings, I have also watched that work, it is really a good drama."

"Thank you..." Fujiwara Kei smiled and shook hands with Hidaka Junming. He originally wanted to say something

"Same joy", but it always felt like ridicule, so I shut up.

"Is Hidaka-san a reviewer of second-round films at the film festival?" Kei Fujiwara asked.

"Yes." Rigao Chunming said,

"The organizer is a good friend of mine, and he invited me to be a special audience. I couldn't refuse the invitation, so I had to take a few days to come over and see what young people's works are like."

"So that's it." Fujiwara Kei laughed. Hidaka Junaki is really a wonderful person. In order to compete with Fujiwara Kei in the ratings battle of [Month 9th], he was very rude when speaking in front of the media. He wanted to describe Fujiwara Kei.

There is no hero even when one is successful, and those who deceive the world and steal fame are those who only become famous.

Moreover, during the ratings war, an off-the-chart trick was used. Don’t say it was a coincidence. No one believed it. However, after the war, he came to greet Fujiwara Kei without any psychological burden, just like a good friend who has known him for many years.

Likewise, I have to say that Kei Fujiwara is ashamed of his ability to do this in public.

"Isn't Fujiwara-sensei here specially invited?"

"No, I just came to take a look out of personal interest." Fujiwara Keidao,

"Let's see if there are any outstanding talents."

"It seems that Mr. Fujiwara's army is getting stronger again, and the [Moon Nine] plan seems to be really unstoppable." Hidaka Junming shook his head and said.

"I just hope that there will not be another opponent like Supervisor Ritaka at the same time. I would be grateful."

"The defeated general is not brave enough. I admire Mr. Fujiwara very much." Hidaka Junming said seriously at this time,

"By the way, I heard that Mr. Fujiwara's contract at Fukuyamadai is only for two years? Then will it be terminated this time next year?" Kei Fujiwara said nothing.

Although this is true, he is still a member of Fukuyamadai after all. While he is still under contract, it may be against the spirit of the contract to spread the word to the world that his contract expires in one year.

"It seems so." Hidaka Junming said,

"In this case, I hope that we can give our ttv a chance. Talents like Mr. Fujiwara, Fukuyama Station can give you, and our ttv production bureau can give you all. As long as Mr. Fujiwara makes any request, we will not refuse!"

"This is a bit exaggerated. Could it be that when Kei Fujiwara said he wanted to be the director of the station, they would agree?

But it is indeed a sincere statement, just like the screenwriter who created "Succession" once received a blank check from his boss.

It's a real blank check. You can fill in the check amount as you please. The boss can fill it in as he pleases, but you can't really fill it in casually. If you fill in a hundred billion, the boss won't pick out your brain.

"Thank you, Director Hidaka, for your love." Keimichi Fujiwara,

"But I'm still an employee of Fukuyama Station, so it's not convenient for me to talk about this matter."

"Understand, understand. Mr. Fujiwara is not only excellent in ability, but also has valuable character. It would be an honor for me if I could really cooperate with you."

"You're so impressed." The two exchanged a few words and then separated. Fujiwara Kei walked into a cinema, found a seat and sat down to watch. He looked around and saw many media people.

Some people were quite serious, holding notebooks in their hands to record the advantages and disadvantages of the movie. Soon, the movie started. It was a long movie. After watching it for less than fifteen minutes, Fujiwara Kei felt a little drowsy.

It's quite a bit like Ohno Nagaharu's previous ideas. Many casual spectators gradually couldn't stand it anymore and left directly.

Fujiwara Kei endured the whole process, then glanced at the reviewer with a notebook not far away, and craned his neck to see what he wrote.

I can vaguely see the writing in the book: The story is mediocre, the rhythm is messy, the camera is rough, the soundtrack is inconsistent, and it has no merit.

It was really a death sentence. Kei Fujiwara stood up and headed to the next cinema. After watching a movie, people started to discuss different movies shown in different cinemas at the same time.

Since most of the people who come here to watch movies are industry insiders, or at least college students majoring in film-related fields, their opinions are more professional and their evaluations are more accurate.

"The show I watched was just average. Isn't there any better work?"

"My game was pretty good. I'm from Hall 1."

"What to watch next?"

"Well... let me see... Iwai Tetsuya's "Lucky" will be screened in half an hour. This is still a student director. His work won the Encouragement Award last year, but I think it is the best among all Encouragement Award works.

I want to get the best one. Should I wait for his movie or watch something else first?"

"Wait for him. My boyfriend saw this work at the Higashi Bunge Academy Festival. I heard it was pretty good. I hope it can win the first place this year."

"Eastern Literature and Art... A friend of mine is also from East Literature and Art. He told me that Kei Fujiwara from their school will also participate in this film festival this year. He should be a strong opponent."

"Kei Fujiwara? Which Kei Fujiwara?"

"Kei Fujiwara, don't you know? The one with the pen name Keita Shiba is also the main screenwriter of the recent Fukuyama Taiyue Nine dramas."
