Because "Spring and Autumn Literature Appreciation" only releases one issue every half month, so on the third day after the voting activity for the list of "Who is Japan's No. 1 Detective" was launched, "Sankei Daily" was the first to announce the list .

Ranking first on the list is Akechi Daigoro, a classic character created by the famous writer Akechi Ranpo, after whom the Ranpo Prize is named.

The second place is a character from the famous 1980s TV series "The Detective", and the third place...

The top five are all detective characters from famous novels, and the following ones include anime characters.

Only the top ten were announced on the list, and the two characters created by Fujiwara Kei, "Furuhata Rensaburo" and "Mirate Aoi" were not on the list.

However, this list is updated for a long time, so Kei Fujiwara does not worry about whether he will improve in the subsequent rankings.

When Kei Fujiwara decided to create a series of novels and the character "Mitaraike", his purpose was very clear, which was to create an IP with strong vitality.

IP is intellectual property. 14 years later, IP has become a hot topic in mainland China. It seems that anything that has something to do with copyright can make a lot of money. However, the people who really make money through IP are those who hype the concept of copyright, those who sell it at a low price and then sell it at a high price.

There are only a few people who really make high profits from operating copyrights.

In fact, the real role of IP is to seize minds. Japan and the United States are textbook examples of this.

Japanese audiences have been exposed to their country’s unique IPs since childhood, and their aesthetic tastes have been developed early. So even though the craze for "Avengers" swept the world, the box office in Japan couldn't even beat an ordinary Conan movie. It is a special case in the world. You must know that under the American pop culture offensive, there are almost no countries that have not been beaten to pieces.

Compared with the superheroes flying in the sky, Japanese audiences prefer Doraemon who takes out props from his pocket, the Giant of Light who is more than ten meters long, and the Shinigami elementary school student who wears eyes and dies wherever he goes.

This is also the reason why Fujiwara Kei decided to create a series of works about the same detective. If nothing else happens, he will not travel again and will probably stay in this country for the rest of his life. In this case, it is better to extend the front line a little longer, create a character that is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and occupy the minds of the Japanese people in advance. Let him have one IP for a lifetime.

Try to make Mitarashi Kei's name deeply rooted in people's hearts, so that as long as a TV series about him is played, or a movie about him is shown in a movie theater, everyone will want to watch it.

The ratings of the fourth episode of "Furuhata Shinsaburo" have rebounded and increased to around 24%. They finally stopped falling. The creative team all breathed a sigh of relief.

Although the other ten detective characters will not be announced, Fujiwara Kei went to the Spring and Autumn Society and found that Furahata Rensaburo's ranking was around 19th and Mitarai Aoi's ranking was around 25th.

The filming of the first season of "The Lonely Gourmet" has finally been completed. The crew is still discussing whether to hold a shutdown ceremony. After all, it may need to be restarted soon, so don't bother with that.

But Mizuhara Yui still insisted on inviting a monk to preside over the shutdown ceremony, even though it would be unsealed again less than a week later. The various aspects of rewarding gods and ghosts in the power-on and off ceremony are indispensable, so as to avoid problems in future filming. Some people do not reflect on their mistakes and will blame the matter on some weird things, which affects morale.

After "The Lonely Gourmet" was shut down, Kei Fujiwara asked them to adjust their status first and then reunite after a week.

Taking a vacation is always nice when you have job security. The only exception was Shuzo Kobayashi. After the completion of "The Lonely Gourmet", he quickly joined the crew of "Furuhata Jinsaburo" to participate in the filming.

"The Lonely Gourmet" is over, which means the next drama is on the agenda.

Kei Fujiwara wrote the titles of many dramas on paper in one go and then chose from them.

""Life is Beautiful" was released in 2000, with a peak ratings of more than 40%, but this drama relies on Kimura Takuya's popularity to a certain extent. This is different from "Long Vacation". Kimura Takuya is in He only became a superstar after filming "Long Vacation", but when filming "Life is Beautiful", he was already a superstar." Kei Fujiwara said to himself.

However, the quality of this drama is still quite good, and it is included in the selection.

""Heart Time" is a very popular school drama and very influential. However, this drama was first broadcast in 1979 and it is now 1995. There is a cultural gap of close to 16 years, so it may not be acclimatized. Forget it, I don't want this one. .”

With that said, Kei Fujiwara drew another line through the title of this drama.

All dramas filmed before the 1990s will be ignored... Thinking of this, Kei Fujiwara crossed out "Red Torrent", "Roaring to the Sun" and other dramas on the paper.

Among the many drama titles, Kei Fujiwara finally chose four dramas as alternatives.

""Naoki Hansawa". Needless to say, this drama is the king of dramas. Excluding the differences in ratings statistics caused by the times, this drama is undoubtedly the strongest. It does not rely on star power, but solely on star power. The plot wins. There is not a single handsome guy in the whole drama, (sorry Masato Sakai), but he is still the best in Japanese dramas."

But this drama Kei Fujiwara still wants to cover it for a while. It may not be time for it to start, not to mention that the next drama will be filmed by a new team. Although it has experienced the training of "The Lonely Gourmet", but "The Lonely Gourmet" and "Naoki Hansawa" are not at the same level in terms of difficulty. Now when this drama is released, Shuzo Kobayashi may not be able to produce the flavor of this drama, and Hideaki Shibasaki is required.

The second drama Kei Fujiwara chose was "Homeless Children", which was also the drama king of the year. The phrase "give me money if you sympathize with me" cheated Obasan's tears. There has always been a market for bitter dramas, especially for housewives, the main force of TV programs. Crying seems to be an interest of women, and their love of distress stories is far higher than that of men.

"But this drama has very high requirements for young actors. Looking around the current entertainment industry, are there any qualified child actors who can play this drama?" Kei Fujiwara thought.

The third candidate drama is "HERO", which is also a work filmed by Takuya Kimura after the fire, but the script is of high quality. It can't be said that this drama relies on Kimura's popularity and talent. On the contrary, in the parallel world, Kimura Takuya became a hot star because of "Long Vacation", and "HERO" stabilized his status. So this drama is also worth filming.

However, the style of this drama is idolized. If you want to make this drama well, you must have a suitable actor. Hoshino should be able to work together again, right?

"The fourth "Housekeeper Sanda" was broadcast in 2011. The ratings in the early stage were only more than ten percent, but that was more than ten percent of that in 2011. The ratings in the later period soared all the way, and the ratings of the last episode were even worse. It has reached an astonishing 40%. It is in line with the taste of the Japanese today.”

Keixiang Arima should be able to act in this drama. Or find an older actor?

Kei Fujiwara looked at the four dramas in front of him and subconsciously bit his pen.

These four dramas are very strong, and Kei Fujiwara will definitely film them all in the future. But now he has to choose a drama that will immediately succeed "Guhata Ren Saburo".

But all the while hesitating, he suddenly laughed.

Really, asking for trouble. Filming a drama is not writing, it is not a one-person battle, why don't I throw the problem to everyone and let everyone share their troubles with me?

Thinking of this, he picked up the office phone.

"Hi, I'm Fujiwara, please inform Suyuan, Shibasaki, Kobayashi, Nishimura... Half an hour later, when I came to the meeting room, I said I want to hold an impromptu meeting."
