godfather of tokyo entertainment

Kobayashi Shuzo sent off Vice President Fujii and sat alone in the office, unable to help but let out a long sigh.

"Japanese Illustrated Book" finally ushered in its cruelest ending, and Fukuyama Channel finally decided to end the program.

Not only that, a group of short-term employees in the program team may also have their labor contracts terminated, and they will not be able to keep their jobs.

The economy is in recession, and even the entertainment industry cannot survive alone.

Kobayashi Xiuzao is not worried about being laid off. After all, he has been an employee for decades, and firing him will cost a lot of money.

However, some of these short-term employees have good abilities and can stay and get a long-term contract. For example, Fujiwara was chosen by that guy. I don’t know whether it is a good thing or a bad thing...

Thinking of this, Kobayashi glanced at the plan at the corner of the table, and reached out to take it.

What will the plan written in two or three days look like?

With such curious thoughts, Kobayashi Shuzo opened the plan book.

However, after opening the plan, the neat and detailed text on the paper suddenly caught his eye.

Xiao Linxiu Zao read it line by line, the surprise in his eyes almost overflowing.

It's not an idea or a rough creation, but an extremely detailed planning plan.

Although it is detailed, it is incomplete, and some key points have been hidden. It seems that Fujiwara Keina did it deliberately, saying that he would elaborate on it in the planning meeting.

Kobayashi Shuzao couldn't help but laugh: Is this kid afraid that I will leave him behind once I get the plan...

However, the planned content is very interesting. It is an amateur variety show. The name is "Human Observation". It sounds like a news column, but it is actually a purely entertainment variety show.

Comedy effects are achieved by playing tricks on passers-by or program guests.

From this point of view, is it an extended version of those funny short films in "Japanese Variety Show"?

However, the reason why that short film was funny was not only because of the interesting script, but also because of its short and exquisite nature. If it were stretched into an hour and a half long variety show, would it still be as interesting as before?

However, after watching it for a while, I realized that "Human Observation" is fundamentally different from previous high school short films.

"Human Observation" relies more on creativity rather than script, which is different from those short films.

Kei Fujiwara randomly proposed a few ideas during the planning, and Shuzo Kobayashi looked at them. Each of them was very interesting, and the feasibility of shooting was very high.

The level of detail in the plan hardly seemed like a plan, as if there really was such a program in the world and it was being reviewed. For a moment, Shuzo Kobayashi thought that this might be a foreign variety show that had been copied by Kei Fujiwara. come over.

But in fact this is impossible. As a producer, Shuzo Kobayashi cannot possibly have a program in the world that he has never heard of. He has never heard of a variety show similar to "Human Observation".

If he could make such a mature plan in just two days, would he be able to do it?

The answer is no. Not only can he not do it, but in his impression, it is difficult to say that anyone in the entire broadcasting industry can do the same thing...

How does a program take shape and appear? First, someone proposes an idea, and then a core creative team composed of directors, producers, chief assistants, chief cameramen, etc. continuously discusses, improves, and test-shoots, and finally it gradually emerges The prototype of a program.

But Kei Fujiwara alone came up with a clear plan, and even reasonably anticipated a series of problems that may be encountered during the filming process, as well as solutions... What? One person is worth an army?

Shuzo Kobayashi picked up the water glass on the table and took a sip, confirming in his mind that Kei Fujiwara is undoubtedly a talent when it comes to program production.

No wonder he was spotted by Panasonic screenwriter and insisted on accepting him as his disciple.

…

The decision to cut the "Japanese Illustrated Book" in half finally came about.

All along, worrying rumors have become reality, and a depressing atmosphere has enveloped a group of employees with only short-term contracts.

Miss Murakami began to talk to everyone in turn, but she still couldn't find Kei Fujiwara.

The program team will be exposed to the labor contracts of most short-term employees, but at the same time, the contracts of some employees will be converted to long-term contracts.

Kei Fujiwara should be one of them. Although the official decision from the Human Resources Department has not yet been received, everyone thinks so.

Kei Fujiwara's "Giggle" series of funny short films have indeed gained popularity among a large number of readers. Those short films were even edited separately and compiled into a collection that was broadcast by Fukuyama Channel. The ratings actually reached 10%.

Although the ratings are not very high, they are much higher than "Japanese Illustrated Book". And from the fact that most of the calls from viewers are for "chuckles", it can be seen that the increase in ratings in the later period of the program is probably

It has something to do with the insertion of funny short films.

Kei Fujiwara waited patiently for a while. Not long after, Miss Murakami found Kei Fujiwara and said, "Fujiwara-kun, are you free now? Vice President Fujii wants to see you. Is it convenient for me to go there?"

It's inconvenient for the boss to see his subordinates whether they are free or not, so they have to go... Fujiwara Kei cursed in his heart, stood up and said, "No problem, I'm free now."

"that……"

Kei Fujiwara followed Miss Murakami, but couldn't help but ask: "Shouldn't you be the one to talk to me?"

Miss Murakami turned back and smiled brightly at Kei Fujiwara and said, "Secretary General Fujii said he would talk to you personally. Congratulations, Mr. Fujiwara. I heard that Mr. Matsushita values ​​you very much."

"Ms. Matsushita?" Fujiwara Kei frowned, "Which Matsushita-sensei is it?"

"It's Mr. Shinya Matsushita, the ace screenwriter of our company." Miss Murakami smiled, "Is there a second famous Matsushita who is highly skilled?"

When Kei Fujiwara heard the name, he knew something in his mind. He smiled at Miss Murakami and said nothing more.

Ms. Murakami continued: "I heard that both producer Kobayashi and Director Sato of Fukuyamadai have high praise for Fujiwara-kun. By the way, I heard that the giggle column was independently written by Fujiwara-kun?"

Fujiwara Kei nodded: "That's right."

"That show is really interesting. I can't stop laughing every time I watch it." Ms. Murakami covered her mouth and laughed, "Fujiwara-kun is really very talented."

Fujiwara Kei also nodded and smiled: "Thank you for liking."

Miss Murakami took Fujiwara Kei to an office and knocked on the office door: "Secretary Fujii, Mr. Fujiwara has arrived."

A man's voice said "come in" came from the office. Miss Murakami opened the door and made a "please" gesture to Kei Fujiwara.

Kei Fujiwara walked in and saw two people sitting in the office, looking at Kei Fujiwara at the same time.

One of them is the deputy commander Fujii Hirokami whom I met not long ago, and the other one has a somewhat sullen face. He is wearing gray clothes and pretending to be holding a white paper fan in his hand. His face is fleshless and his eyes are cloudy.

, looking at Kei Fujiwara with a smile.

He is Shinya Matsushita, a famous Japanese TV drama screenwriter. Although Kei Fujiwara has never met him in person a few times, he has heard of him in TV interviews and gossip among his colleagues.
