"Why does this crappy writer have the nerve to satirize Sima Keita?"

"Doesn't he have the basic aesthetics of literary works? I have read his works, but they can't last the first 10,000 characters. Compared with "Bai Ye Xing" and "Genius Detective Mitarai", his novels are toilet paper .”

"Let me tell you a joke: The water is lucky to the river."

"Hahahaha, so funny."

"Damn it! Bastards!! A bunch of ruffians!!!"

Seeing these bad comments, Minakami Xingjiang was so angry that he tore up the newspaper that published Chiba Shinichi's article, and kept smashing cheap things at home to vent his anger.

But there was nothing he could do.

He is both a writer and a critic. But as a writer, his influence is not as good as Keita Sima; as a critic, his industry status is far worse than that of Shinichi Chiba.

Sima Gui was too lazy to pay attention to him, but Sima Gui had a group of loyal readers, and since the "Astrology Killing Magic" caused a sensation, his loyal reader group has expanded again.

This group of people tried their best to ridicule Mizukami Xingjiang, and some even called the editorial department of his serial novel magazine, saying that his novel was too ugly, and it would be better to cut it in half as soon as possible.

Needless to say, Chiba Shinichi is a senior critic who gets much better newspaper space than he does, and he also dares to scold a lot more. After seeing Chiba Shinichi's mocking article, Minakami Xingjiang angrily wanted to write another article in response, but he didn't know if he was so angry that he sat at the desk for an hour and couldn't write half a word.

He suddenly realized sadly that no matter how much he wrote, it would be in vain. Because the work is really a writer's moat, Sima Guitai's works are much better than his, even if his response article is written in a hype, it can't shake Sima Guitai's position in the minds of readers.

No matter what he said, readers only need to compare the works of the two people and ask their souls: Since you say that Sima Guitai's works are not good, why is your work so much worse than others'?

Speechless.

It seems like being a critic and a writer at the same time is a bad idea. The river is blessed with water.

Just like when you were an economist, you could talk nonsense about business management, you could understand applause but not get out, and no matter what you said, some people would believe it. But once you run a business yourself, economic theories, no matter how reasonable they sound, are not as convincing as corporate financial reports.

…

Fujiwara Kei received a call from Itagaki Kazuhiko in the office, coming to announce the good news.

This issue of "Spring and Autumn Literature Appreciation" is selling so well that it is predicted to break the historical record of monthly sales, and all this is thanks to Mitarai Kei.

I guess Mitarai's ranking will improve in the latest [Japanese Detective Ranking List].

In any case, this book "Genius Detective Mitarashi Kiyoshi" finally got through the early stages and began to stride forward in the direction of a best-seller again.

Everyone in the editorial department knew that this "Genius Detective Mitarai Kai" would sell again after it was officially published, but no one dared to give an accurate figure for how much it could sell. It’s close to 2 million, and overseas publishers are also contacting me.

Spring and Autumn Society has tentatively reached a cooperation intention with a publishing house on Baodao, and they can sign a contract directly after some cooperation details are discussed.

After serializing a large story chapter, it can be published as a single book.

As for the next story, Kei Fujiwara plans to write Ayatsuji Yukito’s “Template” series.

This is also the work of a king in the Japanese reasoning world.

The popularity of "Astrology Killing Magic" also successfully stimulated the ratings of "Furuhata Rensaburo". The ratings of the latest episode of the TV series went up to 28.8%, surpassing the ratings of the first episode.

The star of this drama, Matsumoto Komonemon, is also deeply rooted in the hearts of the people because of his role as Furuhata Ren Saburo. Even some audiences who don't pay attention to kabuki performances have become his fans. Some young fans who like "Guhata Ren Saburo" even went to the theater to watch his performance, and even brought light boards and fluorescent sticks into the theater, which is something that has never happened before...

The biggest dilemma of traditional art is how to attract young audiences. With the development of the times, entertainment life has become richer, and fewer and fewer young people come to the theater to watch Kabuki. Compared with old traditional art, pop culture is more attractive.

Therefore, some well-known houses have also begun to think about innovative ways, such as integrating pop music into kabuki performances.

Konemon Matsumoto also thought about incorporating some popular elements into his performances to attract young audiences. But to his surprise, before he could do anything, young audiences poured into the theater in batches.

Some people still call him "Furuhata" in the audience, and Konoemon Matsumoto's reaction is also very fast, and he will scream as a character: "I am not Furuhata! I am Ashiya Michimitsu! This person must be Abe faction The spies who are coming, get out of here!"

The audience burst into laughter.

The success of "Furuhata Rensaburo" also made Konemon Matsumoto officially start to consider whether he should broaden his acting career?

In fact, in the parallel world, there are many Kabuki actors who transform into screen actors. Kabuki actors in this world are relatively conservative.

Matsumoto Konoemon received certain dividends from the role of "Furuhata Rensaburo". At the beginning, the scandal between Fujiwara Kei and Arima Katsura was found out again by interested people, thinking that Fujiwara Kei was deliberately taking care of his father-in-law.

Some entertainment reporters even directly asked Matsumoto Konemon about the relationship between Arima Keika and Fujiwara Kei, but all they got was silence...

The crew has been constantly auditioning various actors during this period in order to find a suitable candidate for the lead role in "HERO".

The heroine of "HERO" is temporarily considering Kono Aoi, but the intention has not yet been reached. Fujiwara Kei also directly told Fukuyama Etsuko that the male and female protagonists have not yet been decided and may change at any time, so Kono Aoi does not need to reserve them for them. schedule.

However, I found several people to audition in a row, but none of them seemed suitable. Kei Fujiwara planned to find Takayoshi Miyata. This person has a more mature temperament, and recently he has a little more sense of a husband. It stands to reason that it does not match the role, but Kei Fujiwara still I plan to find him to give it a try, maybe he can create a new feeling.

But after contacting Miyata Takara, they also told Mizuhara Yui very sorry that they might not be able to come. Miyata Takara already has a play appointment and has joined the group. Coincidentally, it is Hidaka Junming's A new drama "Gemini Detective".

The male number three who was originally scheduled to travel abroad suffered from an unknown infectious disease, and it was diagnosed recently, so he was unable to join the filming team, so he approached Miyata Xiaoliang under the recommendation of Hoshino Hiroya.

"First Hoshino Koya, then Miyata Takayoshi, and Hidaka Junaki, who is still a senior, just picks up our leftovers." Nishimura Taro complained at the meeting.

"Nishimura." Mizuhara Yui reminded seriously, "Don't talk like that again. It's really disrespectful to the actors."

Hidaka Junming spoke nonsense about them in public, so there was no need to talk about respect for this guy. But describing actors as "leftovers" is a bit disrespectful.

Taro Nishimura is a member of the creative team and has a higher status than actors within the Japanese broadcasting system. Therefore, the arrogance is sick, and there is a lack of respect for the two actors, Miyata Takaharu and Hoshino Koya, who have no deep foundation in their words.

Nishimura Taro quickly apologized: "I'm sorry, I said the wrong thing. Fortunately, those two people didn't hear me."

Mizuhara Yui didn't pursue it, but turned to look at Fujiwara Kei, wanting to hear what he had to say.

But he found that Kei Fujiwara was playing with a ballpoint pen. He kept pressing the tabletop to make it bounce up. He played with it for half a minute.

And for some reason, he suddenly remembered the rumor that China couldn't make ballpoint pen balls.

"Ahem..." Mizuhara Yui coughed to remind Fujiwara Kei that we are in a meeting now. Are we children? What's so fun about pens...

Kei Fujiwara raised his head and saw that everyone in the conference room was looking at him. He was a little embarrassed, and coughed twice, and said, "Actors will continue to contact auditions...but the scope will be expanded."

""HERO", "Housekeeper Mita" and "Homeless Children" are three dramas that contact actors to audition at the same time. If any drama can find an actor with a unique temperament, it will be given priority. shooting."
