Tokyo Literary Godfather

Whether it's "White Night Walk" or "The Detective Mitarai" which is still being serialized, people from production companies have been coming to discuss film and television adaptations.

Among them, the film and television rights of "White Night Journey" have been coveted by a film and television company related to Fushandai for a long time. They have also offered a good price and are negotiating for follow-up matters.

There are many producers who are interested in the work "The Detective Mitarai", but Kei Fujiwara has not yet reached an agreement with any party.

However, Oshii-an said this, and Fujiwara Kei felt that it was okay to get in touch with it. "The Detective Mitarai" is a work of the genre. For this type of work, animation may be more in line with its style than live-action film and television.

Fujiwara Kei thought for a while, "Let's find an opportunity to talk about this matter slowly, but today... I have to send Mori back home, for fear that her mother will be anxious."

"Understood." Oshii-an said, "How about tomorrow night?"

The two discussed the time, exchanged contact information, took Inoue Mori to visit the studio for a while, and then left with Mori.

"Fujiwara-san, I won't send you off. Be careful on the road." Fujiwara Kei got into the car, and Oshii-an bent down at the car window and said.

"Thank you for your hospitality." Fujiwara Kei thanked him. Inoue Mori sat in the passenger seat again, looking very happy.

"Who gave you this painting?"

"It's Miss Naomi." Inoue Mori said happily again, "She is a very good female animator! I admire her very much!"

Kei Fujiwara patted her head with a smile, and didn't say any disappointing words like "If only you were so happy filming".

After arriving home, Inoue Mori opened the car door again and walked out, bowing very respectfully: "Thank you, Mr. Fujiwara, I am very happy today."

"You're welcome, go to bed early." Kei Fujiwara waved his hand, stepped on the accelerator and left.

On the second day, Inoue Morimata's mood became obviously much higher, and his communication with other actors also increased significantly.

"How's it going, Mr. Kobayashi?" Kei Fujiwara walked up to Shuzo Kobayashi with some pride, "Isn't Morimata's mood much better today than before?"

"Well, it's indeed a lot better, but..."

After some hesitation, Kobayashi Shuzo said, "The scenes to be filmed these two days are about Aizawa Suzu once again encountering a low point in life and feeling depressed and painful. The low-pressure mood of the previous two days is more suitable..."

Kei Fujiwara: "..."

He almost couldn't help but want to smash the monitor built by Xiao Lin.

"However, Mori's performance is still very good. She is in a good emotional state now and should be able to speed up the progress."

"There is no need to speed up, just keep filming at the original schedule." Kei Fujiwara said, "Ensuring the quality of the series is the most important thing."

The progress of the drama is progressing steadily, and Osamu Kobayashi has been doing a good job. Kei Fujiwara simply resigned from the supervisory position and handed over the entire drama to Osamu Kobayashi for filming.

During this time, Ono Changji often came to him and asked him to help write the script. Kei Fujiwara has a few good ideas in his mind, such as the short episodes in "Wonderful Stories of the World" and the films that won the Best Short Film at the Cannes Film Festival.

How about filming "Doctor Air"? This is a relatively classic story in the "Amazing Stories of the World" story collection. On a family flight to Hawaii, a passenger suddenly suffered a heart attack.

After the flight attendant asked "Is there a doctor present" three times, a young man stood up.

However, in fact, he is not a doctor, he is just a failed medical student. But after hearing this sentence, he stood up involuntarily because of his ideal of becoming a doctor.

However, he did not have the ability to treat patients. Due to his face and his unwillingness to admit that he was not a doctor, he had to refuse for various reasons, such as the lack of surgical equipment and an anesthesiologist.

But what I didn't expect was that there were anesthesiologists and nurses on this plane.

But in fact, the nurse is not a nurse, but a female publicist in a nightclub wearing a nurse's uniform to accompany drinks; the anesthetist is just a comic editor...

Even the flight attendants are not flight attendants, the family members of the patients are not family members, and the captain is not the captain... All the identities are fake.

Even the clock hanging on the wall is not a watch, but a thermometer, and this film is full of absurd comedy atmosphere. It can be regarded as the most popular and high-quality episode in the entire "Wonderful Stories of the World".

Thinking about it, Kei Fujiwara began to write.

"Fujiwara, this story is very interesting!" Ono Changji said with some excitement.

Kei Fujiwara wrote it in less than an hour and showed it directly to Ohno Nagaharu. Ohno Nagaharu read it several times and seemed to like the story very much.

"It can only be considered okay." Fujiwara Kei said, standing in front of Ohno Nagaharu's bookshelf, this kid has really countless pornographic magazines in his home... Damn, is this one out of print?

Ohno Nagaharu read it several times and couldn't help but sigh: "Fujiwara-kun, you are indeed very talented. I might never have thought of such a story until my death, but you wrote it easily."

"There are specialties in the art industry, and some of your creations in movies are also very interesting. If it were me, I wouldn't be able to think of them." Fujiwara Kei said, "When do you plan to make this film?"

"After these two days, the crew I'm working on will officially shut down, and I'll start shooting right then."

"Do you need me to help you find an actor?"

"Well... I'll do it myself. After all, it's a newcomer's work, and I don't need to find any famous actors."

That's true. After all, the works exhibited at this kind of film festival have no commercial use, and it doesn't depend on whether your cast is strong or not. If you use well-known actors, but the story is not satisfactory, you will only be ridiculed by the judges and audience that you have a gold-rimmed shit pot.

Nagaji Ohno flipped through Kei Fujiwara's script over and over again, then took out a blank sheet of paper, and began to write the storyboard script.

Seeing Ono Changji being so serious, Fujiwara Kei couldn't stay here to disturb him anymore, so he turned around and wanted to leave.

"Fujiwara." Ohno Choji suddenly called out behind him.

"Huh?" Kei Fujiwara looked back at him.

Ohno Choji said seriously: "Thank you very much, this time, I will definitely do my best."

"Making a movie is a job that requires 100% passion. You should go all out every time." Fujiwara Kei said, "But let me explain in advance, I am not confident that this script will definitely win you an award."

"I will try my best." Ohno Nagaharu said.

In fact, Kei Fujiwara is not modest. "Doctor Air" is indeed a good story, but after all, its original version is just a short play.

The advantage is that it is full of reversals, the plot is humorous and witty, and the cost is low; but the disadvantage is that the artistry is limited and the plot tension is not very strong.

As for how many bricks and tiles Ohno Choji can add to this story, it depends on his ability.

Winning should not be easy, but attracting the attention of some film industry insiders should be doable.
