godfather of tokyo entertainment

According to Kei Fujiwara’s previous life experience, rumors in the workplace are extremely credible.

However, it is reasonable for this half-dead variety show to receive a fatal knife in the neck. Fujiwara Kei is not surprised, nor is he as panicked as others.

He sorted out the plan he had written and knocked on Xiaolin Xiuzou's office door.

"Please come in."

Fujiwara Kei opened the office door and saw Kobayashi Shuzo and another middle-aged man in the office, seemingly talking about something.

I met the middle-aged man Fujiwara Kei. He was a high-level deputy commander, and his name seemed to be Fujii or something.

"I'm sorry, I didn't know there was anyone inside." Fujiwara Kei apologized: "I'll come back later."

"It's okay, Fujiwara, what's the matter?"

Kei Fujiwara glanced at Vice Minister Fujii, held the plan in his hand and said, "It's like this. Didn't I exchange some opinions with you not long ago? This is a plan I made, and I want you to take a look."

Xiaolin Xiuzao was a little surprised: "Did you make it so quickly? You..."

What kind of plan can be made in two or three days is probably just an idea, not even an initial creation. Kobayashi Shuzo was about to criticize Kei Fujiwara for being impetuous, but he glanced at Vice Minister Fujii and swallowed his words.

"Give it to me, I will look at it when I have time."

Kei Fujiwara presented the plan. At this time, Vice President Fujii suddenly smiled and said: "You are Kei Fujiwara, right? The new AD."

A deputy commander actually knew his name? Kei Fujiwara was a little surprised and bowed slightly to Deputy Commander Fujii: "Yes."

"The short film you wrote is very interesting. Although it is still very immature, I can see the potential. If I can cultivate it, I may grow into an excellent screenwriter."

Vice Minister Fujii did not hesitate to praise Fujiwara Kei. Fujiwara Kei immediately smiled and said: "You are very grateful."

He didn't show any panic or surprise, and a trace of unnoticeable displeasure flashed between Vice-Chairman Fujii's brows.

People who are unfazed by favors and humiliations often have great ambitions. As a patriarchal leader with a conservative style and traditional thinking, Vice Minister Fujii does not like this kind of juniors.

"Okay, Fujiwara-kun, please go out first. Fujii-san and I still have something to discuss." Kobayashi Shuzo said.

Fujiwara Kei nodded and went out knowingly. His first impression of Vice-Commander Fujii was not very good. There was a kind of cold shrewdness and selfish calculation in this man's eyebrows. However, in his experience, this kind of Most of people's smartness is due to their own cleverness, and they are not really smart people.

As soon as Kei Fujiwara went out, a colleague rushed out from nowhere, grabbed Kei Fujiwara's sleeve and pulled him into the crowd.

"Fujiwara-kun, what's being said inside?"

Kei Fujiwara shrugged, "I don't know, they didn't talk about it after I went in."

"It can't really be like that..."

"Cut the program in half..."

"Then what should we do? I have a short-term contract and I will leave at any time!"

"me too……"

Originally, they were all worried about the fate of the variety show "Japanese Illustrated Book". Kei Fujiwara wanted to persuade them to relax. There was definitely no way out for this variety show, and there was no point in worrying.

But saying this is easy to criticize, so Kei Fujiwara didn’t say much.

The fourth and fifth chapters of "White Night Journey" were also published within this month.

The ranking of "White Night Journey" has officially stabilized. Whether it is quick reports or small chapters, both chapters are ranked first, and are five percentage points higher than the second place. And this gap seems to be growing. .

During this period, the volume of Itagaki Kazuhiko's phone conversation with Fujiwara Kei was more than two decibels louder than usual. It seems that the good momentum of "White Night Journey" also gave him a lot of confidence.

"Fujiwara-kun, congratulations! Now the editorial department's forecast for the total sales volume of the single volume of "White Night Journey" has reached 150,000 copies!"

Itagaki Kazuhiko said excitedly on the phone.

"Really? That's really nice."

And Kei Fujiwara just smiled when he heard this. Is it only 150,000 copies? It seems that the style of Spring and Autumn Society is really conservative.

At another time, "White Night Journey" sold more than two million copies in Japan, and this was only within a limited period of time.

Although 150,000 copies is indeed considered a best-seller standard, the real value that "White Night Walk" can create definitely far exceeds this number.

Listening to Kei Fujiwara's nonchalant response on the other end of the phone, Itagaki Kazuhiko's little eyes narrowed slightly. As a veteran editor, he has dealt with countless authors, and he and Kei Fujiwara have gotten to know each other during this time.

, so you can tell from the other party's tone that Kei Fujiwara doesn't seem to be interested in the number of 150,000.

If a new author's socialist novel could sell 150,000 copies, it would be enough to shock the publishing industry. What, is this not satisfactory?

Although Itagaki Kazuhiko has strong confidence in "White Night Journey", it seems that Fujiwara Kei's confidence in this book is even greater than his...

"Teacher Watanabe, please come in." Just after hanging up the phone, Itagaki Kazuhiko heard Shimada's voice in the distance.

Shimada walked towards the editorial office with a cheerful face, and that person was a familiar face in Shunfeng Club. It was Ikema Watanabe, the author of "Aurora Murder".

Ikema Watanabe has just turned thirty this year and is the winner of the Ranpo Prize. He has written three books so far and is at the peak of his creative writing.

"Aurora Murder", published in October last year, became very popular as soon as it was released. So far, the sales volume has exceeded 500,000, making it an out-and-out hit novel.

As a result, Ikema Watanabe has become the most popular writer today. Writers like this are undoubtedly the targets of many publishing houses, and Spring and Autumn Society is no exception.

In order to compete for the right to publish the next work of this popular author, major publishing houses are showing off their magic. I heard that the manuscript fee alone has reached 12,000 per page, which is enough to make someone clench their fists and cry.

The degree of salivation.

Minister Kawaguchi didn’t know what method he used to actually successfully sign a contract with this popular author.

If Watanabe Chi really joins, it also means that the arms of Chunqiu Society will become much stronger in the next year or so.

The editors of Spring and Autumn Society are also very happy. Watanabe Chi's joining means that the magazine's sales will increase again, and their performance bonuses will also increase accordingly.

Of course, Itagaki Kazuhiko is no exception. Although I am very happy to see the best-selling author Ikema Watanabe join me, at the same time, I feel a little disappointed in my heart.

With Watanabeike’s real bonus, Shimada’s performance this year will definitely be outstanding.

Itagaki Kazuhiko and Shimada Norito have been competing for the vacant team leader position. From the looks of it, they may lose to Shimada Norito...

Itagaki Kazuhiko sighed secretly in his heart, unless one of the writers he was responsible for had a new book that sold more than Watanabe, otherwise...

At this time, Itagaki Kazuhiko suddenly thought of "White Night Journey".

But then, he smiled and shook his head.

This chance is too small...

At this moment, Shimada passed by Itagaki Kazuhiko, glanced at him, and showed a confident smile.

So what if that socialist book won the first place in the supplement? Is it really possible that it could surpass Watanabe Pond?
