godfather of tokyo entertainment

A few months ago, Nanako Togata and Shinyo Ogata happened upon the filming site of a prank show while eating at a ramen restaurant.

After the filming, a staff member came forward and asked for permission to film. At that time, the two agreed. Later, they saw themselves on TV and found it very interesting.

But several months passed after this incident, and no one paid it any attention. Until today, they discovered that the author of "White Night Journey", Mr. Sima Keita, was actually a staff member.

What a coincidence.

Nanako Togada suddenly felt hopeful. When she came forward to ask for an autograph, would he recognize her when he saw her?

"I didn't expect Mr. Shiba Keita to be so young." Ogata Shinyo said with emotion, "He's still very handsome, right, Nanako."

"Um……"

At this time, Kei Fujiwara's signing hand was almost broken. Before, every time he signed a name, he would raise his head to signal to the reader. Gradually, he began to simplify the steps. After signing, he would rush to the next person.

"Hey, you are too perfunctory, sign it again!"

After signing another name, a female voice sounded sharply.

Kei Fujiwara looked up and saw a girl with a high ponytail standing in front of her wearing sunglasses. Kei Fujiwara recognized her at a glance.

So I added a few more words to the book: I wish you success in your career, to: Arima Guixiang

"Thank you for taking the time out of your busy schedule to attend my book signing." Kei Fujiwara said in a low voice.

"Who's busy? I just stopped by when I was on vacation recently." Arima Keixiang pinched one of her glasses legs and revealed one eye. Arima Keixiang's eyes were like a cat, big and smart, slightly hanging. The corners of his eyes looked a little cunning.

"The book you wrote has been very popular recently. It seems that many people have read it. Should I call you Teacher Sima from now on?"

Kei Fujiwara shrugged, "Whatever you want."

The person behind Arima Keixiang saw the two chatting and subconsciously looked over. Arima Keixiang quickly put on her glasses and left.

After another forty or fifty minutes, it was finally Togada's turn. Nanako Togada walked forward with some anticipation and apprehension.

"Teacher Sima...I like your works very much..."

"name."

"Ah? Oh... Togata Nanako..."

"欻欻昘..."

Kei Fujiwara quickly wrote something on the title page of the book, then closed it, handed it to the other party, raised his head and smiled: "Thank you for your support."

Togata took the book and bowed slightly to Kei Fujiwara, feeling a little disappointed. It seemed that he didn't recognize me. I was just being sentimental...

The autograph session lasted from the morning until around six o'clock in the afternoon. It was getting late and the crowd finally dispersed.

Kei Fujiwara threw the pen on the table, his right hand began to tremble slightly, and his whole forearm was turning red.

"Fujiwara-kun, thank you for your hard work."

At this time, Itagaki Kazuhiko came over with a smile. He had just stood and watched for a long time. Seeing this grand signing event, who would have thought that this was the first signing event for a new author? It looked like a long-established author. Same.

As an editor, Itagaki Kazuhiko also felt extremely happy at this time.

"Let's go, Fujiwara-kun, let's go have a meal. This time it's still the editorial department's treat!"

Kei Fujiwara stood up and said, "That's another waste of money."

The two left the bookstore. Itagaki Kazuhiko drove here. After more than 20 minutes, the car slowly stopped. Fujiwara Kei looked out the window, was stunned, and said: "Mr. Itagaki, shall we eat here?"

Itagaki Kazuhiko smiled "haha", "Yes, you have to reward yourself occasionally."

This is Chuo-ku Ginza, the most luxurious business district in Tokyo and also known as the most expensive place in Asia.

As soon as the two got out of the car, Fujiwara Kei saw two sexy girls walking by. When they passed by Fujiwara Kei, a gust of fragrance blew. They must be the nearby bartenders. There are many famous restaurants in Ginza, Chuo District.

The club is full of celebrities.

There are actually many students from famous schools among these escort girls, and their income is very high. It is impossible to survive in a place like this if the educational level is too low. The escort girls must not only be able to drink, but also be good at chatting. Guests say that Nanmen Tower

If you talk about the hip axis, I'll probably get struck out soon.

When Kei Fujiwara was studying at Higashi Bungei, when many girls talked about their future career ideals, the first place was the president's wife, and the second place was Mama-san from Ginza.

Although his tone was somewhat joking when he said this, it more or less reflected some real thoughts.

Kei Fujiwara thought, is Itagaki going to take me to the club to see the world?

In fact, it was not the case. Itagaki Kazuhiko took Fujiwara Kei to a restaurant that serves Kaiseki cuisine. This is a reservation-only restaurant and does not accept temporary guests. After Itagaki Kazuhiko reported his name, the waitress led the two of them to the private room.

The restaurant has a quiet environment, and the interior decoration also reveals a bit of antique color. There is a rockery over one meter high in the private room, and the thick white incense mist flows quietly on the rockery like milk.

Kaiseki cuisine is the most famous high-end cuisine in Japan, and its popularity is equivalent to the "Manchu-Han banquet" in China.

The word "Kaiseki" comes from Zen Taoism. In order to resist hunger while listening to Zen, Zen practitioners hold a stone in their stomach, which is called a Kaiseki. Later, the refreshments given to Zen monks were named after this, and later evolved into today's "Kaiseki"

"Kaiseki".

Through development and evolution, Kaiseki cuisine breaks away from the traditional Japanese seasoning and incorporates European style, in the form of "one sauce and three dishes". It pays attention to the freshness and original taste of the ingredients, and it is mostly plated with pottery and lacquerware, which is very exquisite.

Kei Fujiwara sat down, and the waiters served the appetizers called prepaid first, and then sushi and sashimi.

Each dish was only one or two bites long, and the two of them chatted while eating.

Itagaki Kazuhiko didn't drink, but his cheeks were a little red with excitement, "Congratulations, Fujiwara-kun, Judging from the current momentum, "White Night Journey" will definitely be a big success. Now this novel is very popular in the book market. You are now

He is an out-and-out best-selling author.”

"There is also the Naoki Award... Mr. Miyano came to the club to talk about this not long ago. The five judges of the Naoki Award all commented very favorably on "White Night Walk". Although there is no guarantee that it will win, it has entered the finals.

It’s not a problem either.”

"By the way, the agency plans to conduct an interview with you in a while. When will you be free?"

"Fujiwara-kun, what are you looking at?"

Fujiwara Kei seemed to have been turning his head to stare at the night scene outside the window. Itagaki Kazuhiko also looked subconsciously. The night sky outside the window was decorated extremely gorgeously by Tokyo's luminous tower buildings, like luminous gems inlaid on expensive dresses, and the most attractive among them was

The most eye-catching thing is Tokyo Tower, the iconic building in Tokyo.

"Sorry, I accidentally got distracted just now." Kei Fujiwara said with a smile, "Tokyo Tower is really beautiful."

"You can visit the Skytree some other time. It is the tallest building in Tokyo and very spectacular." Itagaki Kazuhiko said with a smile, picking up a piece of sashimi.

"That's true, but for us outsiders, Tokyo Tower is of great significance." Kei Fujiwara said, "I remember when I first came to Tokyo, I saw Tokyo Tower as soon as I got off the car. It seemed that I only wanted to see Tokyo Tower.

, you can become like a Tokyoite.”

Kei Fujiwara lamented that in fact, when Kei Fujiwara first came to Tokyo, he had not yet traveled through this body. What he was talking about was the memory of the original owner.

It's just that he in that world also had the experience of going to school from a small city to a big city and working hard. When Kei Fujiwara first came to the Magic City, he immediately went to see the Oriental Pearl Tower and the Huangpu River. This was very different from the original owner's experience.

Similar, so the two memories quietly merged together, and I suddenly felt a little emotional.

"When I saw Tokyo Tower for the first time, I thought it was really spectacular. I was as small as an ant in front of it, and I didn't even dare to breathe."

"But when I sit here today and look at it, Tokyo Tower seems not to be that tall." Kei Fujiwara stretched out two fingers and gestured in front of his eyes. Looking at Tokyo Tower from this place, it seems that it is only the length between two fingers.

"I guess when I first came to Tokyo and looked up at Tokyo Tower, someone must have been sitting in this private room, looking down at it."

Itagaki Kazuhiko is also an outsider and knows how difficult it is for outsiders to work hard in Tokyo. Fujiwara Kei's words also made him deeply moved.

"Fujiwara-kun, where are you from?"

"Chiba Prefecture."

"Stay in Tokyo from now on." Kazuhiko Itagaki raised a glass of plum wine, "The first work in your life can be so outstanding. You are the most talented author I have encountered since I entered the industry. Tokyo is suitable for people like you.

.”

"You're honored." Fujiwara Keiya picked up the drink and said half-jokingly, "But one film of "White Night Journey" is not enough. I want to go further."

"No, it should be said that we can go further. Cheers."
