Tokyo Literary Godfather

As time went by, the sales of the two books quietly changed.

The sales of "Suspect X" are getting higher and higher, and gradually overtaken "Naoki Hansawa".

"Hansawa Naoki" is good as a novel, but in the original world, the reason why the drama has such a high score is also inseparable from the adaptation of the script. When the creative team adapted the original work into a script, they made a lot of changes and injected a lot of their own ingenuity. As a novel, "Naoki Hansawa" has a lower sales volume and reputation than "The Devotion of Suspect X".

But even so, due to the frightening fan base of the TV series, the sales volume of this book is still stable at the beginning of "The Devotion of Suspect X". However, more than a month later, when almost all the diehard fans of "Hansawa Naoki" bought and read the book, the sales situation of the two books quietly reversed.

In the second month after the two books were released, finally on a certain day, after closing the store, the owner of a bookstore suddenly discovered that there were more "Naoki Hansawa" left on the shelf than "Devotion of Suspect X".

The boss replenishes the bookshelf every morning. As the two best-selling books in the store now, the bookstore has sufficient inventory, so every day, 100 copies of each of the two books are prepared and put on the bookshelf. His store is a small bookstore, but these two books have been so popular recently, and they can sell for seven or eighty percent.

Usually, "The Devotion of Suspect X" has more copies left than "Naoki Hansawa", but on this day, "The Devotion of Suspect X" actually sold less than four or five copies. The other one is much less.

Another week passed, and the book sales rankings were updated. Although the top two were still works by Kei Fujiwara, the two books had switched positions. "The Devotion of Suspect X" ranked first, and "Hanzawa" Naoki" ranked second.

"Life is Beautiful" has also aired its third episode. The ratings have remained around 30%. It is another popular drama and has been booked to win the summer season in advance. But the outside world has become accustomed to this kind of thing, and their attitude has changed from "the ratings are so high" to "the ratings are still so high".

When Kei Fujiwara usually writes scripts, he will deliberately slow down the speed of handing in the scripts to avoid appearing too bizarre. It would be too much for you to write all the scripts by yourself on the third day after the TV series was just approved.

So I pretended to do it beforehand and handed in the script a few days before the next episode was about to be shot. This would not delay the filming progress, but it would also make it appear that I was rushing to complete the script, and it would also make Yui Mizuhara say sincerely, " Thank you for your hard work, Fujiwara-san." But now I am too lazy to pretend, so I wrote it and handed it over directly to the film crew.

The script has been written, and the serialization of the "Genius Detective Mitarashi Kiyoshi" series has come to an end for the time being, because Kei Fujiwara has not decided what story to write yet, and also because "The Devotion of Suspect X" has just been published. If the serialization of new works continues at this time, It might steal readers' attention from the stand-alone novel, so I decided to take a break for a few months before continuing the series.

As soon as the news of Kei Fujiwara's suspension of serialization came out, the new authors and their editors of Spring and Autumn Society cheered. This thing is finally going to be suspended for a while, and it is just a good time to take advantage of this period to strive for the top spot in the readers' favorite rankings.

Kei Fujiwara did not participate too much in the filming of "Life is Beautiful". He no longer had to create, and Kei Fujiwara's life suddenly became much more leisurely.

The pressure of creative work has become less, but suddenly there are many more social activities.

The first was a senior writer named Sakuradabe Ga, who seemed to want to meet Kei Fujiwara. Sakuradabe Ga was not in good health and was often hospitalized for recuperation. Kei Fujiwara originally wanted to visit him in the hospital, but he refused. It was at a cultural event that the two met.

Sakuradabe praised Kei Fujiwara in front of media reporters, believing that he has extraordinary talent and will be a leader in popular literature.

Sakuradabe, I also know Fujiwara Kei, and I have a deep impression of this person in the memory of the original owner. He has a high status. He is a figure that cannot be avoided when college students study the history of modern Japanese literature.

At the event, Sakuradabe sat in a wheelchair and shook hands with Fujiwara Kei. This photo was also taken by reporters and published in newspapers. It was called "the inheritance of new and old writers."

Once the report was released, some expressed approval, while others were dismissive. They felt that Kei Fujiwara's qualifications were not worthy of the title of "literary giant". Do you want the same status as Sakuradabe and me? Let’s hone ourselves in the literary world for ten more years!

In fact, Kei Fujiwara produced many novels and screenplays in two years, and each of them achieved good results. No one in the literary and art world can find such efficiency.

In fact, if Kei Fujiwara had spent five, six, or even longer years completing these works, the public would have been much less skeptical of him. The biggest reason for denying him is that he is too young. The public has always the most demanding standards for young people, especially young people who are active.

If Kei Fujiwara was hit and killed by a car the next day, the people who mocked Kei Fujiwara might have immediately changed the subject: "What a pity, Mr. Fujiwara was a rare genius in the Japanese broadcasting and literary circles. !”

In addition, Kei Fujiwara also participated in many activities of mystery associations. After "White Night Walk", Kei Fujiwara joined the Japanese Mystery Writers Association on the recommendation of Mika Miyano. This association is a recommendation system. The qualifications for admission are not particularly demanding, as long as you have a published work of mystery fiction. Kei Fujiwara naturally entered effortlessly, and the president of the association is Hattori Junshan.

Hattori Junshan was originally invited to be a judge of a mystery competition, but because he suffered a waist problem from playing mahjong during this period of time, he is currently receiving treatment in the hospital, so he temporarily asked Kei Fujiwara to be the judge instead. Although Kei Fujiwara is young, he has published heavyweight reasoning works one after another, so he is fully qualified to be the judge.

Moreover, he is the most popular writer recently. He is willing to be a judge, which is also good for the popularity of this novel competition. The organizer of the competition is very happy. Kei Fujiwara is not good at taking the face of Atsuyama Hattori, so he had to agree.

Although I haven't written any manuscripts during this period, I have endless manuscripts... I finally understand Kazuhiko Itagaki's pain.

The broadcasting industry also has a lot of busy things to do, and the major Japanese drama awards and selections based on seasons have started again.

And "Naoki Hansawa" was nominated for major awards without any suspense. With the main actors of "Naoki Hansawa", they began to walk into the awards venues of major Japanese drama awards one by one.

Because of the "heroine" of this show, Matsuo Yoko was not nominated, and her current filming tasks are quite heavy, so she didn't come. As a result, this crew came to participate in the awards are all men, unlike other crews, There are also actresses embellished, and the crew of "Hansawa Naoki" are all middle-aged men, and Kei Fujiwara is the youngest one among them.

The actors of "Hansawa Naoki" were all wearing black suits. When they walked into the venue, they looked like gangsters on a trip. The reporter who didn't see who was coming saw a group of men in black suits approaching aggressively. , all subconsciously gave in, especially bluffing.

And this group of people is indeed eye-catching. The achievements and reputation of "Naoki Hansawa" are obvious to all. It is undoubtedly the biggest favorite to win the award. No one dares to let go of the works of the same period to beat "Naoki Hansawa" "Tree" won the "Best Work Award".

The award ceremonies of [Japanese TV Drama Life Award] and [Private Broadcast Judges Award] were held one after another, and "Naoki Hansawa" did live up to expectations. Excellent Award], [Best Screenplay Award] and [Best Work Award].
