Tokyo Literary Godfather

The second episode of "Furuhata Rensaburo" has also been produced and will be officially broadcast at nine o'clock on Sunday next week.

There is still a week left, but the crew did not dare to slack off at all and started the pre-shooting of the third episode.

Konemon Matsumoto has also been a little tired and confused during this period, running between the White Crane House and the studio, and there is always a hint of tiredness on his handsome face.

But he is a national treasure-level actor after all, and his professionalism is full. As soon as the clapperboard is played, he will immediately cheer up and get into filming.

Sometimes we shoot in the morning. Within two or three hours after getting up in the morning, Matsumoto Konemon's face is swollen. In order to quickly reduce the swelling, he drinks liters of extremely bitter coffee.

Arima Keika's professional attitude as an actor is probably inseparable from her father's teachings... Fujiwara Kei thought to himself, feeling a little more favorable towards Arima's family.

Kei Fujiwara writes scripts and novels in the office, and occasionally goes to the studio to see the filming status of the actors and staff.

In fact, Kei Fujiwara cares more about the crew of "The Lonely Gourmet" than the crew of "Furuhata Rensaburo".

Because the team led by Shibasaki Hideaki is relatively mature to be honest. They are the original team that shot "Long Vacation", and the composition of the members has hardly changed. They are still the same group of people.

Before filming "Long Vacation", Mizuhara Yui was worried that the staff was not mature enough, so many people were directly recruited from the "Anthropological Observation" team, and had been trained in "Long Vacation", plus Shibasaki Hideaki himself is a dignified and commanding person.

Therefore, both the cooperation and obedience of the staff have reached an excellent level, so the shooting progress of "Furuhata Ren Saburo" is extremely fast.

But "The Lonely Gourmet" is a temporary team, and there are still many newcomers, the unity is not strong, and internal conflicts sometimes arise.

Thanks to Shuzo Kobayashi being a very mature director and familiar with the work of a producer, this made the team run smoothly. After "The Lonely Gourmet" is over, they can consider making them more difficult dramas.

Soon, the day when "Guhata Ren Sanlang" was broadcast came.

Chiba Shinichi sat in front of the TV punctually, and tuned the TV channel to Fukuyama Station.

The wife sat on the side, looked at Chiba Shinichi with some complaints, but didn't say anything. There is only one TV at home, and TV and gossip magazines are the biggest sources of pleasure for housewives. Now this pleasure source has been taken over by her husband, which makes her more or less unhappy.

Even robbing the TV set, do women still have human rights?

Chiba Shinichi didn't notice his wife's negative emotions. He just sat in front of the TV and put a notebook and pen on the low table, intending to record his real-time thoughts while watching.

The TV show Shinichi Chiba was waiting for was "Furuhata Shinsaburo", and Mrs. Chiba never liked watching mystery dramas. The large number of clues and evidence gave her a headache, and the so-called rigorous reasoning made her feel even more uncomfortable. Dull.

The couple have completely different hobbies in this area. Chiba Shinichi is a die-hard fan of mystery works and became a book reviewer precisely because of his interest, while Mrs. Chiba only likes to watch romantic dramas.

Mrs. Chiba, the screenwriter of this play, had also heard of Keita Sima, who wrote "White Night Journey". Chiba Shinichi often talked about him before, claiming that an unprecedented figure had appeared in Japan's mystery literary world.

Mrs. Chiba, who never read mystery novels much, also read that novel under the influence of Chiba Shinichi, and burst into tears. I was mainly moved by Xiao Yukiho's miserable life experience and the love between Yukiho and Ryoji, so I read "Bai Ye Xing" directly as a love novel.

However, she couldn't stand the new novel "Genius Detective Mitarashi Kei" at all. The various murderous plots gave her a headache and scared her to death. She was so scared that she closed the book after reading only two pages. She had to let Chiba go to the toilet in the middle of the night. Shen Yi went with her, otherwise she was afraid of a bandaged head coming out of the toilet.

Chiba Shinichi also seems to be dissatisfied with Shima Keita's new work. Recently, he always scolds this guy at home for relying on his own talents and taking too big steps. He wants to do everything, but in the end he can't do anything well. Isn’t this a step back? !

But when the new work "Furuhata Ren Saburo" was broadcast, he still watched it on time in front of the TV.

Chiba Shinichi usually wouldn't grab her TV. Once in a while, for work, Mrs. Chiba had no choice but to sit next to him and watch it with him.

I hope this mystery drama won't be too boring...

The first episode is called "Message from the Dead". This is a routine that Kei Fujiwara once taught in class. The deceased will try his best to leave information about the deceased before death, while the detective will think like a cryptographer. A way to crack the last password left by the deceased before his death.

Shinichi Chiba also watched Keita Shima's lecture in the seminar and was shocked. At the same time, he was also curious about how the many techniques he mentioned would look like if they were actually put into practice on paper or on the screen.

At the beginning, Konemon Matsumoto, who plays the protagonist, appears. Because Konemon Matsumoto is the inheritor of traditional Japanese culture, he usually wears a kimono in front of the media cameras. This time, he rarely wore a suit and stood on the stage. In front of a dark background wall, the story of the case began.

I have to say that Matsumoto Konoemon is indeed a rare handsome man, even when he is old, he is still handsome, and his gestures reveal the charm of a mature man.

"Flashback reasoning..." Chiba Shinichi, who is well-informed, immediately realized that this drama uses flashback reasoning, which is unprecedented in Japanese dramas and is considered an innovation. Chiba Shinichi has seen this kind of narrative rhythm of flashback reasoning in an American TV series called "Detective Colin".

In the story of the first episode, the murderer is a manga artist played by Katsura Arima. After luring a man into the basement, the female cartoonist closed the door and planned to trap the man inside to death. The identity of the murderer is exposed to the audience from the beginning. This is also the characteristic of this drama. It does not hide the identity of the murderer, but focuses on expressing the process of the detective catching the murderer.

Arima Keika is the daughter of Konemon Matsumoto. The drama between the father and daughter is also a highlight. Although we don’t know yet what the reasoning level of this first episode is, Chiba Shinichi can also guess the ratings of this first episode. The rate shouldn't be low, there are quite a few who come just for Shima Keita, Arima Keixiang and Matsumoto Konemon.

Chiba Shinichi patted his head and reminded himself secretly: Pay attention, you are a critic, what you need to care about is the content! Ratings are not something you should consider, your aesthetic standards should be higher than those of ordinary viewers!

When Mrs. Chiba saw Arima Guixiang appear on the stage, she couldn't help but sigh: "Arima-chan is really beautiful. She looked very good last time in "Long Vacation"..."

At this moment, she suddenly thought of something and gently shook her husband's arm: "Hey, I heard that Arima-chan and Sima Keita are together, is it true? You often deal with these people, have you heard any inside stories? ?Tell me about it, tell me about it..."

If I could get one or two explosive inside information from my husband, I would have something to talk about with the other wives tomorrow morning.

"Oh, I don't care about this kind of thing, I don't know!"

"Please ask me..."

"Okay, okay, I'll ask after I finish this episode."

Chiba Shenyi had no choice but to speak perfunctorily. Really, I was so full of gossip that I was distracted and missed two key scenes. In mystery dramas, I have to watch every scene closely. Maybe there are key clues left by the author?

So let me concentrate on watching this episode and tune in!

But Chiba Shinichi dared to say this in his heart.
