Tokyo Literary Godfather

At around eight o'clock in the evening, Kei Fujiwara came to a club in Ginza.

Ginza, Chuo District, the most important business district in Japan, is known as "the most expensive place in Asia" and a symbol of Japan's prosperity. In this place where celebrities come and go, Kei Fujiwara often feels like he has traveled back in time to the movie "Tiny Times". Although the movie is terrible, it is sometimes quite realistic. Some scenes of extravagance and desire in the film do have a real reflection here.

Kei Fujiwara once saw a lady getting out of a luxury car. The pet dog she was holding in her arms was motion-sick. The woman casually tore open the luxury bag in her hand and let the dog vomit inside.

I was also afraid that the picture of the dog vomiting would disgust the people around me, so I kept apologizing to the people around me.

Although he does have quality, he is also extravagant.

Kei Fujiwara walked into a private high-end club in Ginza, and walked in under the leadership of the welcome girl.

The high-end clubs here are all membership-based, and the annual membership fee is expensive, not including drinks. The proprietress of the club is also commonly known as "Mama-san". She is a woman in her late forties, with an average appearance, with upturned bangs, towering into the sky. Yui Mizuhara probably learned her hairstyle from her.

Mama-san's name is Chio Kawashi, and she is very famous in the circle. She is not a top beauty in terms of appearance, but because of her knowledge and interests, she is still a top student who graduated from Waseda Medical University, and she has something to talk about with some political and business people.

A female publicist in a place like this is not as simple as doing a flesh-and-blood business, especially someone like Kawashi Chio. If she didn't have the ability to observe people's emotions and make changes according to the situation, she wouldn't be able to deal with so many big clients.

This is also a favorite nightclub for many people in the media industry. The first time Kei Fujiwara came here was with Tsutoyo Yamaguchi, and later Eiji Shirai entertained him here several times.

As soon as he saw Kei Fujiwara, Chio Kasai walked up to him with small steps and said, "Long time no see, Mr. Fujiwara, how are you lately?"

"Not bad, Miss Hexi, the store is really booming."

"Thanks to you and Shirai-san." Chio Hexi said with a smile, "Come this way, please."

Kawanishi Chio took Fujiwara Kei to a cubicle. Shirai Eiji was already sitting on the sofa waiting. Next to him, there was a female publicist with her head lowered and a stethoscope on her ear, listening carefully to Shirai Eiji's heart sounds.

Kei Fujiwara couldn't help but be stunned when he saw this scene. Could it be that the nightclub is also part-time in the clinic business?

After listening for a while, the female publicist took off her stethoscope and said seriously: "Mr. Shirai, does your heart often feel a tingling sensation recently?"

Eiji Shirai thought for a moment and said, "It is true that sometimes this happens."

The female publicist said: "According to my auscultation, Mr. Shirai, your heart sound seems to be a bit split, and you may have a right bundle branch block... Of course, my medical skills are not good, so it would be better for you to go to a big hospital."

"Oh, okay." Shirai Eiji looked a little worried.

"Tsujiko, you are treating this as a medical school again, be careful of being sued for practicing medicine illegally." Chio Kawanishi walked over and said with a smile.

"Sorry, Mom." The female publicist said quickly.

"I'm sorry, Shirai-san, this is my junior classmate in the medical school, and I made you laugh by showing off." Chio Kawanishi walked over and said softly.

"Haha, it doesn't matter. Tsujiko is also thinking about my health."

"Perhaps, I can listen to it for you." Kawashi Chio said, then sat down with a smile, picked up the stethoscope and listened for a moment, and then said: "Your heartbeat is very healthy and strong, there is no need to worry at all."

Kawashi Chio was originally a medical student. I heard that when she was young, she once entertained a businessman. The businessman said half-jokingly: "My heart beat faster when I saw Miss Kawashi."

Kawashi Chio also took advantage of the situation and said, "Really? Then I have to listen."

However, after hearing this, Chio Kawashi whispered something in the businessman's ear, and the businessman went to the hospital the next day, and sure enough, he was diagnosed with a heart problem. Later, this matter became widely known, and Mamasang’s Heart Listening program became one of the club’s special features.

This young female publicist seems to have graduated from medical school, and she should be learning from Chio Kawanishi.

Kei Fujiwara was also a little emotional when he saw it. Girls who could be admitted to medical school came to work in nightclubs... and this situation is not isolated. Among the famous clubs in Ginza, many public relations personnel came from prestigious schools.

"Well, I'm relieved now." Eiji Shirai patted his chest and said. When he raised his eyes, he saw Kei Fujiwara and stood up. "Teacher Fujiwara, it's rare that you take the initiative to ask me out for a drink."

"I'm so sorry to call you out when you are so busy." Fujiwara Kei stretched out his hand and said, "Miss Kasai, please take out my bottle of stored wine."

The last time he was at the club, Yamaguchi Citoyo gave Fujiwara Kei a bottle of good white wine. At that time, Fujiwara Kei didn't have time to drink it, so he kept it on the counter.

Kawanishi Chio opened wine for the two of them and served several plates of wagashi and fruit slices for snacks.

"Fujiwara-san, in the new season, you are responsible for multiple dramas at the same time. The filming task is very heavy, right? It's really hard."

"Ms. Mizuhara is still the hardest worker. Recently, I have been deliberately taking off my burdens and handing over more difficult tasks to her, so I can spend more time enjoying life." Kei Fujiwara shook his glass and said, "Work is not life. The only meaning.”

"Haha, Mr. Fujiwara discovered the truth of life decades in advance. It's really gratifying." Shirai Eiji smiled and patted his thigh and said, "It's a pity that Matsui Pictures doesn't have such an outstanding talent as Mr. Fujiwara. Otherwise, I would Special staff in the film department can also live a life of leisure and enjoyment, and all the heavy work is handed over to subordinates."

Kei Fujiwara's contract is about to end, and Matsui Pictures, the parent company of Fukuyama Television, is also interested in absorbing Kei Fujiwara into its own company.

The subtext of Eiji Shirai's words is that as long as Kei Fujiwara is willing to join Matsui Pictures, he, as the real power executive, will guarantee that Kei Fujiwara will be entrusted with important responsibilities.

"Haha, Shirai-san is being humble. Who doesn't know that Matsunichi Pictures is full of talented people." Fujiwara Keidao, "By the way, does Matsunichi Pictures have any new production plans for next year?"

Kei Fujiwara's words are a bit unflattering. Due to the failure of "White Night Journey", Matsunichi Pictures canceled many production plans for the coming year and focused its business on distribution. Independently produced The budget was repeatedly reduced, and as the person responsible for the production business, he also felt quite depressed.

However, when Kei Fujiwara said this, Eiji Shirai did not show any displeasure, but said with some disappointment in his tone: "Because "White Night Walk" failed to obtain the expected revenue, the company's shareholders and senior management have expressed doubts about our company's independent production capabilities. I suspect that next year I will only shoot a few low-budget art films to compete for awards at film festivals.”

Eiji Shirai couldn't help but sigh: "The film company doesn't believe in the film it produces, and they don't know whether this is a good thing or a bad thing."

Immediately, he raised his head and looked at Fujiwara Kei, "Why did Mr. Fujiwara suddenly ask about this?"

"I'll go straight to the point." Kei Fujiwara said, "I plan to create a movie. Can Matsunichi Pictures be responsible for the production and distribution?"
