Chapter 203: What Independent Director

After "Lucky" was broadcast, the audience in the screening room applauded. It's a very good short film. The audience said that it has all the elements that a successful movie should have: concept and plot, although the ending feels a little bit...

It's rushed, but it's already a very good movie.

Some of the reviewers who watched silently gave the movie high scores in their hearts. After the movie, Tetsuya Iwai appeared and began to answer some questions from the audience and held a discussion.

Seeing the audience's enthusiasm for this film, he felt sincerely happy.

He re-shot and re-edited "Lucky" to increase its duration. He is confident that it will impress the audience even more than when it was screened on campus.

After the discussion, by observing the expressions of several audience members who were obviously reviewers, he knew that his work must have a high score in their hearts, so he breathed a sigh of relief from the bottom of his heart.

He unfolded the film schedule in his hand, glanced up and down on it, and then his eyes rested on the words "Looking Back Suddenly".

The screening started at four o'clock in the afternoon, and Tetsuya Iwai felt a sudden desire to compare. He wanted to see if this talented screenwriter in the TV drama industry could still be so successful in the film field.

"Don't underestimate movies..." Tetsuya Iwai muttered. By one o'clock in the afternoon, Kei Fujiwara had watched four movies, one feature film and three short films, which made his head feel a little swollen.

Originally, Kei Fujiwara was a standard commercial film lover and liked to watch

"Looking for Cat"-style movies, but personal movies, due to the director's inexperience and not being used for commercial purposes, tend to be wild and wild and less entertaining. Although there are some good ones, they look very tiring.

In comparison, the movie "Lucky" by Tetsuya Iwai that I watched at the school festival was much better. Although it was still a bit immature, I could tell that the movie had rules to follow and was both entertaining and in-depth. It was worthy of being from an academy.

Although he is young, he is very proficient in technology. If he trains for another two years, if he is given a good script, he may be able to make a good movie.

Fujiwara Kei thought to himself, and he suddenly became interested in talents. Ohno Nagaharu also walked out of the screening room, rubbed his roots, touched his stomach and said, "I'm hungry, let's go have lunch."

"There is a donburi restaurant nearby, and it tastes good," Kei Fujiwara said. Kei Fujiwara is now considered a semi-gourmet, and he ate half of Tokyo under the leadership of Takagi Nobu Satoshi. There was a donburi restaurant nearby here last month.

I just brought him here to eat, and Kei Fujiwara plans to use it when filming the second season of "The Lonely Gourmet".

As Inokashira Goro is the most powerful store-exploring blogger in this era, the stores he visits will become popular tourist attractions the next day.

Therefore, although "The Lonely Gourmet" has ended, the TV station always receives letters from various stores, hoping that the program team can come to their stores to film the second season.

"The Lonely Gourmet" has no plans to shoot a second season yet, mainly due to lack of manpower. In addition to the filming of the moon drama, there is no manpower available to shoot another night drama.

Therefore, Kei Fujiwara is also considering cooperating with the production company for joint filming recently. Kei Fujiwara and Nagaharu Ohno went to a nearby rice bowl restaurant and sat at a table in the corner. Nagaharu Ohno ordered pork cutlet rice bowl, and Kei Fujiwara ordered eel rice.

.

At this time, a woman's shoulder bag was placed on the table next to Fujiwara Kei. Fujiwara Kei subconsciously turned his head and looked around, only to see a woman with a very good temperament doing it. She looked to be thirty-six or seventeen years old, but she took very good care of herself.

Kei Fujiwara glanced at her body. She was wearing European luxury brands from head to toe. The bag on the table alone was the price of a car. Only the leather shoes on her feet could not tell the brand.

However, according to Kei Fujiwara’s experience, you should wear more expensive private custom-made clothes.

This outfit felt out of place for this small rice bowl restaurant, but the woman ordered the beef rice with green onion very familiarly, and she was able to chat casually with the clerk. She must have eaten here often.

After a while, a man also walked into the restaurant. The man sat opposite and looked around.

"Is this the best restaurant in the entire port area as you said?"

"Yes, do you want to try it? Caviar is much more delicious than kaiseki cuisine."

"Haha, please recommend it to me, Miss Kamiya," the middle-aged man said.

"Specialist Shirai?" Kei Fujiwara heard the voice and called out. The man turned around and saw Kei Fujiwara was stunned for a moment, then stood up.

"Teacher Fujiwara." Fujiwara Kei smiled and shook hands with him. The man's name was Shirai Eiji, and he was a managing director of the film and television production company Matsunichi Pictures, which was also responsible for the production and distribution of "White Night Walk".

The two met not long ago. Kei Fujiwara sold the film and television adaptation rights of "White Night Walk" and when he went to Matsunichi Film Festival, in view of Kei Fujiwara's current status in the broadcast industry, Eiji Shirai entertained him personally.

As for the woman sitting opposite Eiji Shirai, Keiya Fujiwara finally recognized her as Momoka Kamiya.

A professor at the Faculty of Letters at Waseda University, he is also a very famous writer and literary critic. Not long ago, he wrote a critical essay on "The Homeless Child", which caused a sensation among readers. In the article, he also wrote

Kei Fujiwara praised it highly.

Although Kei Fujiwara is also a writer, he is a reasoner. He is different from the circle of Kamiya Momoka. He has never met each other, but has only heard each other's name.

"Fujiwara-san, I have long admired you." Momoka Kamiya also recognized Fujiwara Kei at this time and stretched out her hand.

"Teacher Kamiya, I read your previous article in "The Call of the Wild" and it was very moving. I never thought you had such a past." Momoka Kamiya said: "That was also inspired by your work, "Homeless"

"The Returnable Child" is a very good TV series, and I am very much looking forward to the second season." Then you can't wait.

Fujiwara Kei cursed in his heart.

"This is..." Shirai Eiji looked at Ohno Nagaharu. The people sitting down to eat with Fujiwara Kei should also be industry insiders, right?

"This is my friend, Ohno Nagaharu, who is now an independent director."

"Hello, nice to meet you." Eiji Shirai smiled and shook hands with Ohno Nagaharu, but he didn't care too much about it.

Eiji Shirai has seen many independent directors and so on. These people call themselves film writers, but many of them are forced to be independent because they are not capable enough to be hired by large film and television companies and are unwilling to start from basic positions.

Isn't there a saying that says that young people in their twenties who are unemployed often fantasize about being a writer?

When this young man got an 8mm camera, he would claim to be an independent director. At this time, Eiji Shirai suddenly remembered something: "Are you here to participate in the film festival? Are there any works on display?" Kei Fujiwara laughed.

He nodded: "Yes, the work that Ohno-san and I collaborated on is one of the works on display at this film festival. Ohno-san is in charge of supervision and I am in charge of screenwriting."

"Really?" Eiji Shirai was a little surprised. He didn't expect that Kei Fujiwara would also participate in this film festival as a creator. It seems that in the future, peers cannot be treated as ordinary newcomers. Maybe there will be a big boss like Kei Fujiwara suddenly.

I want to come and play across borders.

"What's the name of the work?" Momoka Kamiya asked suddenly. Fujiwara Kei saw the work badge Kamiya Momoka wore around her neck and asked, "Is Mr. Kamiya a reviewer of the film festival?" Momoka Kamiya nodded: "

Yes, although I am not an industry insider, I have published many film and television reviews, so I was invited to be a special audience this time." Kei Fujiwara turned to look at Eiji Shirai again: "Is this the case with Specialist Shirai?" Shirai

Eiji said: "Yes, I was also invited." Fujiwara Keidao: "In this case, I can't tell you two, so as not to be suspected of being a back door. After all, Ohno and I's goal is to win the peer's first prize.
