Tokyo Literary Godfather

"Ms. Araki, have you had any contact with Kei Fujiwara recently?"

Since Kiko Araki voluntarily resigned from "Anthropology", "Tsukihime" has not achieved the success she imagined, and its popularity has plummeted.

The company also began to focus on cultivating Aoi Kono, who had more potential. Kiko Araki knocked on the hotel room door of the big boss everywhere, but still failed to prevent her career from declining.

Recently, I only got a small role in a late-night drama, and I would be thankful if it had a ratings of 3%.

After the filming ended that day, several entertainment reporters suddenly surrounded him, and it seemed that they were here for him.

It had been a long time since anyone had stopped to interview her. Kiko Araki was a little flattered for a moment. Only after the other party asked questions did she realize that these people were here to ask about Kei Fujiwara.

There seem to be some bad rumors about Kei Fujiwara recently, saying that he bullies colleagues and subordinates, steals other people's ideas and works, and even sexually harasses women.

Kiko Araki said it honestly, and of course she thought it was nonsense. Compared with Yui Mizuhara, Kei Fujiwara has a cold temperament and is more prone to betrayal and ruthlessness, but he is kind to his colleagues and actors. Even if he makes a mistake, as long as it is not serious, he will not be too harsh;

Stealing other people's ideas and works is even more ridiculous. Is it possible for a person to steal other people's ideas and make his works popular one after another?

As for sexually harassing actresses and female colleagues... Well, if only he had this interest, maybe he would be able to forgive his stupid behavior of letting go.

Thinking of this, Araki Kiko felt a wave of regret again in her heart.

"Miss Araki?" Seeing that Araki Kiko was distracted, the entertainment reporter called again and repeated the question.

At this time, another reporter asked: "Recently, Mr. Fujiwara seems to have some bad rumors. Have you heard about it? You and Mr. Fujiwara have collaborated on a variety show. Do you think the rumors are true?"

Kiko Araki looked at the microphone and camera in front of her, and suddenly an idea flashed through her mind, so she lowered her head slightly and said, "Teacher Fujiwara and I have not cooperated for a long time and have no contact. I don't want to talk about the past anymore."

After that, he left quickly.

Several entertainment reporters were stunned for a moment, then suddenly came to their senses.

What was that reaction just now? What do you mean you don’t want to talk about the past? Could it be that she knew something but just couldn't say it?

Things seem to be getting interesting...

The camera completely recorded Kiko Araki's abnormal behavior and broadcast it on an entertainment news program.

After this episode was broadcast, more media followed up, reported and reprinted it, which sparked heated discussions.

on the forum.

"Keita Fujiwara is Keita Shiba in "White Night Walk". Is he really a despicable villain in real life?"

"Hey, this is the normal image of a Japanese writer. He drank alcohol, took drugs, cheated, and lied to women to commit suicide, but he survived. The cultural world has become accustomed to it, and they will help cover it up. Is there anything strange about it?"

"It seems that Japanese society is too lenient towards writers. Should we make any changes?"

"Haha, it seems that talent is really more important than virtue. I wonder if the popularity of this concept is a good thing or a bad thing..."

"I said, why do you just acquiesce that these unreliable rumors are true? The authenticity of the information in these third-rate newspapers is not as good as the rumors in the market. Last year, there was a third-rate tabloid saying that aliens will land on the earth next year."

"I don't think Kei Fujiwara is a scumbag, but I really think aliens will land on Earth next year. What do we, ordinary Earth citizens, need to prepare for?"

"Haha, are you going to have another black ship incident?"

"Don't go off topic. To be honest, I also think this rumor is false. Because from beginning to end, let alone evidence, there is no testimony. Is it too unfair to just rely on such rumors to attack someone at will? "

"Why is there no testimony? Doesn't Araki Kiko's words in front of the camera explain anything?"

"She obviously didn't say anything."

"Haha, silence is better than sound. It's obviously because of Kei Fujiwara's power that she can only keep silent. She has already hinted a lot, so we just need to understand. It's not easy for a little girl Kiko Araki to reach this day in the entertainment industry."

"Why do I think this woman is hyping up?"

"Hype? Which girl would joke about her innocence? Kiko Araki must have been sexually harassed by Kei Fujiwara in the workplace."

"It's normal...talented people are romantic by nature..."

"There is a difference between being a romantic and being a gangster. Attracting women through charm and using force to force women are two different concepts!"

"I don't care about women's mistakes, but I want to know whether Fujiwara Kei has stolen other people's ideas and works. I am also a creator. If it is true, I find it unacceptable!"

Rumors seem to be getting worse.

An employee who claimed to have worked at Gaogongli took the initiative to find the media, claiming that like Kei Fujiwara, he had been an intern at Gaogongli and held the AD position.

But he is different from Kei Fujiwara. Kei Fujiwara is very good at pleasing his boss. The producer of the show at the time, Shuzo Kobayashi, was very kind to him because of this and gave him all the hard work.

As for the "Giggle" series that Kei Fujiwara once shot, it was also his own idea. He once expressed the idea in front of his colleagues, and he should have kept it in mind and regarded it as his own work.

In the interview program, the person who claimed that his idea was stolen said so with his back to the camera, only the back of his head showing.

At this moment, another middle-aged man in his forties stood in front of Chun Jiudang Bookstore and protested loudly. He held a book in his hand and claimed that "White Night Journey" plagiarized a novel he wrote many years ago. Years of hard work were snatched away by him. I hope the police can sentence him to death.

…

"A total of five newspapers published unfavorable news about us today, one of which is a large newspaper with a daily circulation of more than 200,000." Mizuhara Yui said with a headache.

In fact, there is no unfavorable news about "us", only Fujiwara Kei's alone. However, Mizuhara Yui believes that she and Fujiwara Kei are both prosperous and disadvantaged. To harm Kei Fujiwara's reputation is to harm the interests of the entire crew.

Fujiwara Kei picked up the newspaper and read every page. As expected, public opinion has begun to add fuel to the fire.

Because the same news is reported by multiple media, if your content is not innovative, it will be difficult to attract readers.

Therefore, at this time, it is necessary to process art appropriately. Journalism is actually a type of manufacturing industry.

Especially entertainment news, which is not as rigorous as financial news.

"I have already asked someone from the Taili Public Relations Department to handle these matters." Mizuhara Yui said.

Kei Fujiwara said lazily: "When the matter is resolved, our drama will be over, and the ratings will have been affected by then."

"How about holding a press conference to refute these rumors face to face?"

"The bystanders are asking me to come up with evidence that I didn't do any of these things."

Mizuhara Yui laughed angrily: "Whoever makes the claim will provide evidence. Why should we get the evidence?"

"The court will provide evidence of innocence, and public opinion will provide evidence of guilt." Fujiwara Kei said, "And whenever there are negative remarks, we have to find ways to prove ourselves. Wouldn't it mean that we are always being led by the nose?"

"What should we do?"

Kei Fujiwara said at this time: "Instead of clarifying oneself, it is better to discredit others. Offense is the best defense... Go to the Information Department and ask them to interview a person... and then do a special program."
