Tokyo Literary Godfather

The first chapter of Astrology Murder Magic gives a brief overview of the case and informs the readers of this strange murder from forty years ago. Then, as expected, our genius detective Mitarai Aoi became interested in this unsolved case. , decided to investigate the case and recover the truth that was forty years late.

After reading this chapter, Togada Nanako had a strange feeling of trembling.

It's not that you're afraid, this chapter is not as scary as the Bandage Monster chapter, as if there is a weirdo covered in bandages hiding somewhere to hunt you down.

The murder magic of astrology is different. When investigating this case, it seems that the protagonist will not encounter any danger to his life, but after reading the description of this case, a chill can seep out from the bottom of his heart.

This case is so weird and curious... What is the truth of the case?

In just one chapter, Nanako Togada was successfully intrigued.

Nanako Togata began to look forward to the story that followed, but at the same time she was also a little worried.

The beginning of this chapter is indeed well written and will surely attract many readers. But if this case reaches the stage of solving the mystery, if the subsequent story is not satisfactory, it will definitely attract a storm of criticism from readers.

…

After "Astrological Killing Magic" officially entered serialization, the first episode of "Furuhata Jinsaburo" was also completed, and the emergency production of the second episode began.

The murderer in the second episode is a kabuki actor, who happens to be Matsumoto Konoe's own profession.

Konemon Matsumoto was very happy to find his friend Saki Akabe, who was also a Kabuki actor, to play this role. This person is a member of the Kabuki family [Manharuya], but he is not the heir, but the younger brother of the heir. After working as a kabuki actor for a while, I later moved to the big screen.

Matsumoto Konemon acted more casually and naturally when he saw a familiar friend. And this is just in line with Furahata Rensaburo's setting. Furuhata Rensaburo relies on seemingly casual conversations to push the prisoner into a blind corner step by step. The conversation should not be aggressive, but should have a sense of casualness like a cat playing with a mouse.

Shimizu Asaki's drama has been aired for more than half of the time and is about to end. His drama's ratings are around 16%, which is not low for a drama that airs on the ninth day of the month.

After all, the ninth day of the month in Fukuyama Terrace in this world is not a trump card time.

But after all, the last drama achieved the highest ratings of 36%, so as a veteran producer, Shimizu Asaki inevitably looks a little disgraceful.

After Shimizu Asaki's drama ends, "Furuhata Rensaburo" will take over.

After learning that Kei Fujiwara's new drama would continue to be broadcast on September 9, many people within Fukuyama Station were a little surprised. At first, they thought that Director Yoshida was deliberately suppressing Kei Fujiwara?

"Long Vacation" has achieved such remarkable results. As the biggest contributor, Kei Fujiwara's next work should occupy the best time slot and invest the best advertising resources.

He should pick the prime time slots on weekends first, and only if he picks the rest, others will be eligible to pick again.

But I didn't expect that Kei Fujiwara would first do a late-night drama, and then his new mystery-themed drama would still be aired on September 9th, and would not be available on weekends.

Under the speculation of various people in the station, Director Yoshida He Shi had no choice but to tell everyone that this was Kei Fujiwara's own choice. This guy had to choose this time period himself, and even made bold claims that he would make the ninth month of the month a day that transcends weekends. time period.

Kashi Yoshida said this with a smile, and the top management in the station also laughed happily, seeming to think that this was just an exaggeration by Kei Fujiwara.

Yoshida Kaishi didn't say anything, but just told everyone that if nothing unexpected happens, Fujiwara Kei will be responsible for the next nine months.

I heard that Kei Fujiwara was only interested in the time period of September 9th. Of course other producers, screenwriters and directors in the station were overjoyed.

They heard that Kei Fujiwara had set up two crews to film alternately, and they were worried at first. This guy wouldn't be greedy enough to occupy the two prime time slots on Saturday and Sunday, right?

If Kei Fujiwara really wants to compete with them for weekend slots, few people in the station have the confidence to compete with him. At that time, as long as Kei Fujiwara throws the ratings reports of the programs he has done on the table, most of them People don't even dare to express their anger.

But this guy voluntarily gave up the weekend time slot and only asked for the September 9th time slot with an average audience. This is really... what a humility.

People who don't strive for profit are always liked.

After the success of "Long Vacation", people in the station are full of respect for Fujiwara Kei and his team, and now they are very kind to him.

In fact, Fujiwara Kei was prepared to be hated by his colleagues in Taiwan. After all, he asked to occupy all the next nine months of the month. It felt a bit overbearing, but he didn't expect them to thank us.

Under the clear planning of Kei Fujiwara, Hideaki Shibazaki and others, the second episode was filmed quickly, and then the third episode was quickly entered, and at the same time, it officially entered the promotion stage.

Fukuyama TV spread the advertisements of "Furuhata Rensaburo" like beans in the advertising time of each time period. Every second is precious, and the station can be used to promote "Guhata Rensaburo" without any expense.

Sima Keita + original theme reasoning has a huge gimmick in itself. Although "Genius Detective Mitarai Kai" had a bad start and encountered some bad reviews about Shima Keita's decline in level, the aftermath of "Byakuya" and the Naoki Award are still there.

So during the promotion period, "Furuhata Rensaburo" received huge attention.

What's more, the protagonist of this drama is also very attractive to the public. Konemon Matsumoto, such a national treasure Kabuki actor, actually came to act in a TV series?

Although he has appeared in film and television dramas before, most of them were supporting roles or guest appearances. This is the first time he has played the main role in a TV drama.

However, from the trailers and posters, you can see that the kabuki actor is wearing modern makeup. Although he is nearly fifty years old, he still has an unstoppable charm exuding from his body.

Speaking of which, [White Crane House] has one characteristic among all kabuki families in Japan, and that is that it is very beautiful.

The founder of [White Crane House], the first Matsumoto Taketsuru, was a handsome man with outstanding appearance. The reason why he was able to successfully start such a business was inseparable from the financial support of a wealthy widow.

Takezuru Matsumoto is someone who pays great attention to the appearance of artists. He feels that standing on the stage with an ugly face is really a humiliation to the audience and a blasphemy to the ancestor of all artists, Izumo Akun, so a beautiful face is very important. , even more important than the skill itself.

He believes that skills can improve with time of practice, but it is difficult to change the face.

Therefore, an important criterion for the descendants of [White Crane House] to marry a wife is that she must be a beauty. Only good-looking couples can give birth to good-looking children. So until now, the people in [White Crane House] are all pretty and pretty, regardless of gender.

When Arima Guixiang's family was traveling, when others saw this big family, they felt that the air was fragrant...

However, as plastic surgery skills become more and more mature, Fujiwara Kei seriously suspects that in the near future, [White Crane House] may face the only Waterloo in its century-old history...
