Tokyo Literary Godfather

Chapter 172 School Festival (Part 2)

The movie tells the story of a middle-aged loser who accidentally gets a four-leaf clover that brings good luck.

After getting good luck, his life changed drastically, but at the same time, he was not targeted by gangs.

The whole movie lasts thirty minutes, and I have to say, it's really good. Among the student works, it is already considered to be the best work.

After the movie finished, applause erupted in the screening room.

"very good!"

"Iwai-kun, you really have the grace of a famous director!"

"Encore!"

"Idiot, it's not a concert, why are you calling for an encore..."

"It seems that Iwai will become the second famous person among the 90th class..."

The first place is naturally Kei Fujiwara.

After hearing this, a boy sitting in the front row glanced behind him dissatisfied, then stood up and walked to the stage.

The boy has fair skin, looks thin, and wears a pair of glasses. He took the host's microphone and said, "Hi everyone, I'm Tetsuya Iwai. "Lucky" is my director's work. In this movie, I want to The expression is...I'm sorry, I have nothing to express, I just want to tell a story that I find interesting."

This sentence is very much to Kei Fujiwara's appetite.

"And this movie is also the most proud work among all the movies I have ever made. Today is just a trial screening. Soon, I will officially send this movie to the Peer Film Festival."

"Thank you all for your support."

After saying that, Tetsuya Iwai walked down.

The film continued to be screened, but the audience seemed not to pay much attention to it. Some people even left early. Many people should have come here just for Tetsuya Iwai.

The subsequent works were indeed relatively mediocre and had little appeal to the audience. By the time the last film was broadcast, half of the audience had already left. And Tetsuya Iwai's box was already heavy.

After Kei Fujiwara left, he thought about it and put a table tennis ball in Iwai's box.

After leaving the theater, several people were about to leave when they saw Tetsuya Iwai walking over with a smile.

"Nanako, long time no see." Tetsuya Iwai greeted with a smile.

"Iwai-senpai," Togata responded.

"Iwai-senpai, you didn't see me." Ogata Shinyo said dissatisfied.

"Sorry, Shinyo." Iwai Tetsuya smiled, "Thank you for watching my movie, haha, I almost didn't recognize you guys dressed like this..."

"Iwai-senpai's film is very interesting, and it will definitely win this film festival!" Ogata Shinyo said.

"Haha, let me lend you some good words."

Just as they were about to continue talking, two other students came over with the camera, "Senior Iwai, we are from the News Department, and I would like to conduct a brief interview with you, may I do so?"

"Well, of course. Just wait for me and let's have dinner together tonight."

Nanako Togata was about to decline, but Tetsuya Iwai walked aside and began to answer reporters' questions.

"Senior Iwai, I just watched your new movie. It was very interesting. I would like to ask you where the inspiration for this story came from?"

"Haha, it originated from my father. He has always had the habit of buying lottery tickets, but he has always had bad luck. Once he said to himself: If only I could find a four-leaf clover that can bring luck. This is me. source of inspiration for the film.”

"To be honest, it's really an interesting story. You are not only the director, but also the screenwriter of this movie. I would like to ask, is the director or the screenwriter more important for a movie?"

“It’s such a sensitive issue. The Peer Film Festival I’m about to attend has a slogan called [Film is the Director’s Thing]. So there seems to be a consensus that film is the art of the director. Of course, a good script is also very important. important."

"But after all, the director is more important." The reporter emphasized the other party's point of view.

"This is not just my point of view, it is the consensus of today's film industry." Iwai Tetsuya spread his hands, "After all, film is a comprehensive art, which contains profound expressions, which cannot be summarized by a simple script."

The reporter smiled, got closer, and suddenly changed the subject: "Senior Iwai, have you heard of your title on campus? Many students call you [the second talented person of the 90th class], you Do you know about this?"

Tetsuya Iwai frowned: "I heard a little bit."

"Do you agree with this statement?"

Tetsuya Iwai felt a little unhappy and didn't know whether to agree or disagree. In fact, he has always been unhappy with this title. The key is that the word "second" is too harsh.

A talented person will not like the evaluation of "second", let alone Tetsuya Iwai, who made bold claims in his freshman year that he would become the first famous person in the 90th class of imaging and video science.

However, what he didn't expect was that while he was still preparing to enter the graduate school to continue his studies, a person who was in the same class as him suddenly became a rising star in the literary world.

Not only that, this man also entered the broadcasting industry and created several hit dramas. He has become a popular figure in the mystery literature and television circles.

Therefore, Kei Fujiwara naturally became the "number one". Even if this movie made him famous, he would not be able to get rid of the title of "number two".

Forget it, since you are lagging behind others on the timeline, let’s find a way to surpass them in terms of achievement! Iwai Tetsuya also secretly made up his mind.

Iwai Tetsuya somewhat avoided the question: "Talented people and so on... There is no shortage of talented people in Eastern literature and art."

The reporter continued to ask: "Fujiwara, who is known as [the first talented person in the 1990s], is a screenwriter. Do you think he applies to the theory you just said that directors are more important than screenwriters?"

Tetsuya Iwai was stunned, and after a long time he said: "Fujiwara is still a screenwriter for TV series. Compared with movies, TV series are relatively simple. They don't need to be expressed too deeply, so for TV series, maybe screenwriters are more important."

As soon as this statement came out, the eyes of the school magazine reporter were shining brightly.

Tetsuya Iwai felt that what he just said was a bit inappropriate. He was about to add a few more words, but the reporter said at this time: "Thank you, Mr. Iwai, I have no questions."

Tetsuya Iwai was a little depressed and walked to Nanako Togada. At this time, the reporter targeted a new interviewee.

He walked up to Kei Fujiwara and asked, "Hello, have you just watched the movie?"

Fujiwara Keido: "I have finished watching it. The movie is very exciting."

"Who did you vote for?"

""Lucky"."

"May I ask which department you are a student in?"

"From the video and video department."

"What a coincidence." The reporter looked at Kei Fujiwara and then at Tetsuya Iwai, "Are you in the undergraduate class or the graduate class? What grade are you in?"

"I am an undergraduate student and have not continued my studies. It has been one year since I graduated."

"And what work are you doing now?"

"Some shallow artistic creation."

"Huh?" The reporter was taken aback, "What is that?"

"TV screenwriter."

Ogata Mayo couldn't help laughing, and Togata Nanako quickly pinched her waist.

Tetsuya Iwai's face turned red and he wanted to say something, but there was no chance.

The reporter smiled: "Haha, it seems you heard the interview we just had. Sorry, no offense intended. But it seems you don't agree with what Director Iwai just said, right?"

"It can't be said that I disagree. There is no problem in saying this from his point of view. If I were a director, I also think that the director is the key to a drama. Unfortunately, I am a screenwriter, so I think the screenwriter is the key to a drama. Soul. But if I were a recorder, I would feel that the recorder is the core of the crew. Only when you think your work is vital can you do your best."

The reporter was silent for a moment. This guy was obviously much smoother than Tetsuya Iwai. He seemed to be a social person. He then asked: "You are a TV drama screenwriter. Are there any works you are broadcasting recently?"

"There is one."

"Can you tell me your name?"

Fujiwara Kei scratched his head: "It's nothing inconvenient. "Homeless Children" will be broadcast on Fukuyama Taiyue on the 9th. Please support it."

Inoue Morimata bowed just right at this time: "Please support me."

The reporter suddenly fell silent and opened his eyes wide, "Are you... Kei Fujiwara?"
