Tokyo Literary Godfather

Kei Fujiwara intends to cooperate with the production bureau, and the news that he will select personnel to form a team in the bureau quickly spread. Some people didn't believe it at first.

When the producer meeting was held again, many directors and producers began to look at Kei Fujiwara twice more flatteringly, and some people even began to invite Kei Fujiwara to dinner from time to time.

Kei Fujiwara has been here for a whole year, and he has countless dinner invitations. If he accepts all of them, he will be able to eat until next year... next year will be enough, and the invitations from artist management companies alone cannot handle them all. Kei Fujiwara participated in the agency's dinner once, and it was invited by Ms. Fukuyama. As a result, the president of the agency's agency was there in person, and almost the entire company's young female artists were invited to sit with him, and there were no men.

Facing the invitation, Kei Fujiwara shied away from being free at first. After returning to Mizuwa Production Company, Kei Fujiwara sat down with Yui Mizuhara and discussed which director he should choose after cooperating with the production bureau.

Mizuhara Yui had stayed at Fukuyamadai for a long time and knew the main creative staff of the station relatively well, so she and Fujiwara Kei analyzed it in detail.

"Supervisor Kojima is a director who is very good at filming suspense dramas. I have worked in his group before. He has an excellent ability to convert words into images, especially to mobilize the tension. Therefore, when shooting some suspense or Director Kojima is very good at dramas with intense plots.”

In other words, if you shoot some storylines with soothing plots, the performance will be poor.

But unfortunately, many Japanese dramas of this era, especially romance dramas, have very soothing plots. For example, "Tokyo Love Story", and "Long Vacation" and "Life is Beautiful" that have been moved by Kei Fujiwara.

It is precisely because of these reasons that Japanese TV dramas have not been good in overseas markets for a long time. Because of this kind of slow-paced story, only those who understand the social conditions and culture of their country have more patience to watch it.

However, it was only after 2000 that Japanese dramas were completely counterattacked by Korean dramas. They can still survive now, so there is no need to rush it for the time being.

"Director Sato, you should be familiar with her. He is very good at filming romantic dramas, and many of his works have achieved good results. The ratings of his works in the past three years have been above 17%..."

Having said this, I suddenly felt a little twisted.

If the average viewership of Yuejiu drama is only 17%, it is estimated that the entire team will be frantically looking for problems internally. However, compared to other crews, this result is not bad, or even pretty good. It is estimated that it will be praised at the internal meeting of the production bureau.

As for Supervisor Sato, Kei Fujiwara is familiar with it. When I first started working as AD, I was in his team and was selected by him to be his substitute for a period of time. Later, when filming "Long Vacation", I originally wanted to choose Sato as the director, but he declined because the other party questioned his ability. Later, Sato also showed his favor to Fujiwara Kei on many occasions.

"Next person."

"Well, Director Kikuchi, this person..."

Based on her years of experience working in Mizunami Productions and dealing with these creative staff, Mizuhara Yui introduced all the senior directors in the station. After hearing this, Fujiwara Kei also began to silently select candidates in his mind.

"Okay, I understand." After hearing many names at once, Kei Fujiwara remembered that his brain ached, and he pinched the bridge of his nose and said.

"Fujiwara, don't forget our Yue Jiu when you write the script for the production bureau." Mizuhara Yui said quietly. Knowing that Kei Fujiwara is going to write several works at the same time, even though I still have confidence in him, I still feel a little uneasy from the bottom of my heart. I don’t know if he can write it.

"Don't worry, no one will forget you." Kei Fujiwara said with a smile.

Mizuhara Yui's face heated up. She couldn't help but recall the scene of feeding Kei Fujiwara Laba porridge that day in her mind, and her face became even hotter.

After that day, Mizuhara Yui was so depressed that she almost escaped into Buddhism. But after all, I have been in the workplace for so many years, and I still have some psychological quality, and gradually I reacted as usual... But when I heard Kei Fujiwara say this, my thoughts couldn't help but wander.

Damn Fujiwara, don't say such misleading words... Could this guy be doing this on purpose?

When he was distracted, Fujiwara Kei stretched out his fingers and clasped Mizuhara Yui's arm with his knuckles, "Hey, Mizuhara..."

"Ah." Mizuhara Yui came back to her senses, "Sorry, I was distracted..."

"Look at this." Kei Fujiwara handed over a few pieces of paper, "Which story do you think is better?"

The paper was filled with dense words, like an article. After a closer look, I saw that the article was divided into several paragraphs. Each paragraph had a book title number, which was the title of the play. The text under the name is an introduction to the plot of the show.

"This is a drama I plan to shoot in the next season. You can take a look first. If you like it, it will be broadcast on September 9th. In addition to "Furuhata Rensaburo", I will also select two more dramas and hand them over to the production bureau. time period.”

Mizuhara Yui felt excited and gave her the works to choose first, and then handed the rest to the production bureau. This must be a way for Fujiwara Kei to express his attention. Mizuhara Yui lowered her head and looked at it.

Not to mention, Kei Fujiwara has as much stock in his mind as ever... I don’t know where he got all the inspiration.

The introduction of each drama is written in great detail, almost telling the main plot of each episode. No wonder Fujiwara can write so fast and his ideas are so clear.

The first one that catches the eye is "Tokyo Love Story". As a parallel world, the drama that opened the curtain of Fuji Taiyue's nine dramas was also the most influential Japanese drama in China in the 1990s, and its local ratings were also very good.

If I remember correctly, the average ratings of this drama should be around 22, because this drama appeared as the vanguard of Yuejiu drama in the parallel world. So it created the bonus of September 9th, but failed to enjoy the bonus of this drama. Now that the September 9th period of Fukuyama TV is relatively mature, it is estimated that the ratings performance will be better if it is broadcast at this time.

If a more famous young actor is found to play the male and female lead, the ratings should be able to increase a little bit.

The red name Lixiang in the play is also a memory of a generation... the story of three village children pitting returnees.

Mizuhara Yui read the plot introduction from beginning to end, and found that the tone and style of this drama are very similar to "Long Vacation". They are all the kind of plots like water, telling the stories of little people, and there is a touch of sadness in the stories. It is in line with the idea of ​​"sorrow for things" deeply rooted in Japanese society.

It's just that this drama should be more regrettable than "Long Vacation". The hero and heroine of "Long Vacation" ran into the wedding hall hand in hand in the last episode, but the hero and heroine in "Tokyo Love Story" missed it after all.

After watching this drama, Yui Mizuhara couldn't help but said before watching the introduction of the next drama: "Fujiwara, I'll choose "Tokyo Love Story" for the Yuejiu drama. This drama is very good."

Fujiwara Kei looked down at the paper in front of her, and couldn't help but said, "You've only watched a drama, why don't you decide after watching it?"

When Fujiwara Kei said this, Mizuhara Yui also felt a little impatient. But this drama was written by Kei Fujiwara at the beginning, and it must be Kei Fujiwara's most satisfying one. It is difficult for Kei Fujiwara to think about the story ideas of several dramas at the same time. Others may not be as good... Forget it, let's read it first.

Thinking about it, Mizuhara Yui looked at the text introduction of the next drama, and what caught his eye was "Tokyo Cinderella".
