Tokyo Literary Godfather

[When two talented people meet, which one is more important, the director or the screenwriter? 】

The new issue of the school magazine was published soon, and this issue of the school magazine also attracted the attention of East Arts students. The reason is that the legendary student of this school, Fujiwara Kei, returned to school on the day of the school festival, and even met with another student of the same class. A dispute of opinions arose between Tetsuya Iwai, who was known as a talented man.

For a feature film, which one is more important, the director or the screenwriter? Controversy arose among students of Eastern Literature and Art, especially within the Image and Video Department.

"Film is the director's art, there is no doubt about it."

"No, film is a comprehensive art and an extension of literature. The essence is still literature. The director just adds to the foundation of literature."

"Yes, almost all of Fujiwara-senpai's dramas can be a hit. However, this is not the case with the directors who have worked with him. It can be seen that whether there is a good script or not determines the fate of a drama."

"TV dramas and movies are different. Compared with movies, TV dramas are more like industrial products, and products are produced according to the production line [script]. Movies, on the other hand, are closer to works of art. Even if they are painted based on the same model, realism and The works produced by abstract paintings are also completely different.”

"That's right. Fujiwara Kei has always been involved in the production of assembly line products such as TV series. When he has a movie, let's express his opinion!"

This news was even reprinted by regular newspapers, triggering more intense discussions, and the news department of Dongwen Art also made a fortune.

Tetsuya Iwai sat in the editing room with the school magazine next to him.

He plans to re-edit his work and is determined to make this film stunning on the day of the film festival!

In two days, the fourth episode of "Homeless Children" will begin.

It is now time to start preparations for the next drama.

The next drama Kei Fujiwara chose was "Housekeeper Mita".

This drama also triggered a ratings boom at the beginning. In addition to the excellent quality of the script itself, another point is that the queen of Japanese dramas, Matsushima Nanako, who has been away from acting for many years, was invited to star, which attracted a lot of attention.

Yui Mizuhara also received news not long ago that a well-known actress who quit the entertainment industry many years ago intends to come back because of her marriage.

This actress became popular in Japan in the 1980s, even more popular than Katsura Arima after filming "The Longest Vacation". However, she announced her retirement from the entertainment industry in 1986 because of her marriage. Just half a year ago, there were rumors in the industry that this actress seemed to have a relationship problem with the young man she was married to.

Sure enough, the two announced their divorce a month ago, and Kei Fujiwara decisively chose "Housekeeper Mita" between "Hero" and "Housekeeper Mita" and asked Yui Mizuhara to find a way to contact the actress. Let's see if she has any plans to make a comeback.

And as expected, the actress who lost the blessing of a wealthy family did have the idea of ​​​​returning to the entertainment industry. The two parties hit it off immediately and agreed to cooperate.

After the intention was confirmed, the TV station was preparing the contract, and Kei Fujiwara also held a planning meeting in time.

"Mita, the housekeeper, is a woman who has been stimulated by her past life experiences. She will perfectly complete any task assigned by her employer, even if it means sleeping with her employer, killing someone, or even committing suicide, she will not hesitate."

"The whole play will slowly unfold in a scary and weird atmosphere, and the background music at the beginning will also be of the eerie type. In this atmosphere, the audience will be curious about the whole story and the past of Mita. "

"Why is this woman so ruthless and omnipotent? Is she a robot? Is she an alien? Is she a person with superpowers? We want the audience to be so curious."

"And the family who hired Mita, their lives were changed and saved because of Mita's appearance."

Kei Fujiwara was talking endlessly about this drama. Suddenly, Yui Mizuhara made a sound of "Ah" and subconsciously covered her mouth, with a somewhat frightened expression on her face.

Looking at others, Shibasaki Hideaki and the main cameraman all showed the same expression.

Kei Fujiwara was stunned. Is the plot of this drama so surprising?

At this time, all they saw was Mizuhara Yui tremblingly stretching out her hand and pointing to the window behind Kei Fujiwara: "It's on fire..."

When Fujiwara Kei turned around, he saw bursts of fire coming from the distance and black smoke filling the sky.

"what happened?"

A group of people hurried out of the conference room, only to find that the company's employees were lying next to the window watching and discussing the location of the fire.

"What's on fire?"

"It seems like it's not far from our company. It's also a production company."

"That direction seems to be Tokyo Animation."

"That's right, it's Toani..."

As soon as he said this, Fujiwara Kei felt like he had been slapped on the back of the head.

Toani...Kyoani...

Arson cases...

"I'll go take a look." Fujiwara Kei said with a straight face.

This thing actually happened... KyoAni arson case...

What originally happened in 19 years happened in 1995. The timeline is indeed messed up. Like the Pachinko case, it happened at a completely different point in time than the parallel time.

Toani was not far from Mizunami Productions. Fujiwara Kei didn't even drive his car and ran all the way there. He saw people surrounding Toani, all pointing at the burning building and discussing something.

The building on fire was Toani's Third Studio Building. Fujiwara Kei's head buzzed. This was the building that Oshii had taken him and Morimata to visit before, and it was being licked mercilessly by the tongues of fire.

It didn't take long for the fire truck to arrive and start putting out the fire.

The fire was soon brought under control, and ambulances arrived. A steady stream of injured people were taken out and taken to the hospital in ambulances.

"Fuji...Fujiwara-san..."

A figure stumbled over from the side. Fujiwara Kei turned around and looked overjoyed, "Oshii-san, you're okay, that's great..."

Oshii'an's face was covered with charred ash and he looked miserable: "I was lucky and ran out, but several of my animators were burned alive. That lunatic..." Oshii'an murmured, "A man Suddenly broke into the company, saying that my animation work plagiarized his novel, and then started pouring gasoline everywhere...Ishida, Ohno, Omura, Kawaguchi...they were all..."

Oshii-an suddenly collapsed to the ground and burst into tears.

Kei Fujiwara quickly knelt down beside him, but didn't know how to comfort him for a moment.

A colleague who lives with him day and night dies in front of him, but he is unable to save him. He may even dare not come forward to rescue him because of his desire to survive, and watch his colleague die in front of him... In fact, this is not wrong. An ordinary person is hindered by his survival instinct. There is nothing to be blamed for not daring to fight to the death with desperadoes.

But when I think about it afterwards, I feel tortured inside.

Oshii-an was crying and began to cough violently, spitting black phlegm on the ground.

Fujiwara Kei's eyes widened, "Oshii-san, have you smoked a cigarette?!"

Oshii-an was stunned, "I don't know either..."

Without saying a word, Fujiwara Kei directly took up one of Oshii'an's arms, carried him to the ambulance, and explained the situation to the medical staff.

The doctor didn't waste any time and asked him to get in the car and took him to the hospital.

"What about you, are you okay?" the doctor asked.

Fujiwara Kei shook his head numbly.

The crowd of onlookers stayed all night long, and as night fell, it seemed that sobbing could be heard from time to time on this street.
