Tokyo Literary Godfather

The next day, sure enough, the entertainment sections of major newspapers reported on the Japanese Drama Life Awards.

The youngest winner of the Best Actress Award and the two Best Actor Award winners made this Japanese TV Drama Life Awards attract enough attention, and one of the organizers of the Japanese Drama Life Awards, the TV magazine "Broadcast Life" is presenting the awards Sales of the new issue after the ceremony also increased by a full third.

The news that "Homeless Child" missed both the Best Screenplay Award and the Best Work Award has also attracted much attention. Many reporters described this work as "unpopular" for failing to win the two most important awards. thing.

After all, the ratings and social influence achieved by "Homeless Children" are rare, but some people think that ratings are not everything. Although "Homeless Children" has high ratings, However, in terms of the rigor of the plot, it is still lacking. Some plots are a bit bloody and far-fetched, so it is not incomprehensible to give the award to other works, and the award is not only based on ratings.

Even "Stars News" published such a comment to satirize Kei Fujiwara's failure to win the award. The title is: [Kei Fujiwara's failure to win the award reflects the professionalism of the judges of the Japanese TV Drama Life Awards].

"Since Kei Fujiwara's debut, all the TV dramas created by Kei Fujiwara are purely entertainment. Although interesting, they are not profound. "Long Holiday" talks about a complicated relationship between men and women; "The Gourmet" is not even profound, an elderly man looking for food everywhere."

"Although the emotions expressed in this "Homeless Child" are very touching, the story is too legendary and bloody, and there is still no deep conception at all. As an audience, the author may think it is acceptable, but as a professional film critic It seems a bit shallow.”

"Some people say that Kei Fujiwara may become a national teacher-level writer and screenwriter, but with all due respect, a work needs to achieve [social reflection] and [education of the public] to be eligible to be called a national teacher. But in detail All of Kei Fujiwara’s works seem to fail to meet this standard.”

""Homeless Children" seems to have a tendency to explore a certain theme, such as [the living conditions of orphaned children], but after all, it has not been able to explore these topics in depth. This has also led to Kei Fujiwara's failure to produce a single Works that can really touch people's hearts, it seems that there is still some time to go before the title of national teacher. Maybe it can be achieved in two years, maybe five years, or it may be impossible to write profound works in a lifetime."

"Let's wait and see!"

"Star News" is the newspaper group behind Star TV. You can tell from the name that this TV station is named after the newspaper. Fanxing Channel will soon have a new round of ratings war with Fukuyama Channel, so the newspapers are beginning to point their finger at Kei Fujiwara, the enemy general.

Kei Fujiwara read the article in the newspaper and threw it aside without paying much attention. An enemy's disparagement can sometimes be a form of praise.

With his current status in the broadcast industry, the number of awards is no longer the most important thing. Winning a prize is great and the icing on the cake; not winning a prize is not worth regretting.

Fujiwara Kei didn't particularly care.

What's more, the Japanese Drama Life Award is not the only Japanese drama award. There will also be a Japanese Drama Academy Award waiting for him soon.

The most critical task now is to film "Naoki Hansawa" well.

The spring schedule is getting closer and closer. The first episode of "Hansawa Naoki" has been shot and edited. It has entered the filming stage and the filming of the second episode has begun. Major dramas from NBC and Fanxing TV are also being filmed.

This winter will soon pass, and it will soon be time for the bayonets to see red.

"Housewife Mita" has been broadcast to the ninth episode, and more and more advertising sponsorships have been found. Even the "famous craftsman" who withdrew their capital before also proposed to add a pre-roll advertisement at the beginning of this drama, but they are still not optimistic about " Hansawa Naoki" this drama.

As the main character, Yoko Matsuo became the biggest beneficiary besides the TV station and the main creative team. During the TV series was still broadcast, Yoko Matsuo gained a lot of endorsements and film and television resources.

Many TV dramas have already begun to schedule Matsuo Yoko's next drama, and they all have leading roles.

In Japan, it is very rare for an actress over 30 years old to play the leading role, mainly because most of the actresses in this age group are married, and after marriage, many artists will retire. Even if you don't retire, many fans will leave and your career will not be as good as before.

The film and television industry does not welcome older actresses. The root problem is not fans, but many screenwriters and directors who simply will not create stories with older women as protagonists.

Even if there are such stories, most of the heroines are miserable, pitiable, made things difficult for them, and sometimes even annoying.

On the other hand, many stories about men in their forties and fifties often reflect his maturity, wisdom and charm.

Is this discrimination? Actually not really. Not discrimination, but neglect. Most people simply cannot imagine what it is like for a woman who has lost her youth and charm.

If you can't imagine it, you can't write such a story.

On the other hand, even if it is written, the audience may not like it.

Not only do male viewers dislike it, but even female viewers may not like it.

In fact, when "Housekeeper Sanda" first came out, many people were puzzled. Why did you find a comeback actress to play the main role?

Wouldn't it be great to find actresses in their prime, such as Arima Keika, Kudo Minami, and Kono Aoi, to play the leading roles?

For an actress who has been away from the entertainment industry for so long, the role she plays is probably not a girl, right? Will any audience like this kind of drama?

However, after the show was broadcast, the expressionless, iron-hearted but omnipotent Mita conquered the hearts of the audience in a short period of time. Many viewers hoped that they would have a housekeeper Mita at home to solve their lives. all the trouble.

Mita, played by Yoko Matsuo, has also reversed the audience's prejudice. Now, no one questions the age of the heroine.

First there was "Homeless Child", and then there was "Housekeeper Mita". Both dramas featured female characters. Because of this, some media called Fujiwara Kei "Japan's best at writing about women" playwright".

This title was originally a media award for Kei Fujiwara's delicate writing style and good at portraying female characters. However, as time passed, some people began to use this title to ridicule Kei Fujiwara.

"So good at writing dramas about women, why not be a woman?"

"It's just because he's not good at writing men's dramas. Kei Fujiwara can't write a blood-soaking plot at all."

"I hope he can produce more impressive works instead of a bunch of bloody dramas, otherwise I don't think he deserves the title of national teacher."

Shortly after these remarks were made public, promotional materials for "Naoki Hansawa," a drama whose cast is almost entirely made up of men, were officially released.

There are almost no female characters in the promotional posters, and Naoki Hansawa in the center of the poster frowns and looks forward, as if he is interrogating something. Under the character portrait, in addition to the title of the play "Naoki Hansawa", there is also a line of artistic calligraphy, which is very eye-catching and the wording is also very impactful.

"A tooth for a tooth, tenfold!"

Is this a professional drama?
