Tokyo Literary Godfather

Like NHK, TTV is also very busy at the moment.

A few years ago, TTV was not willing to let all the ratings cake fall into the mouth of NHK on this bad day, so it resolutely invested heavily in producing the program "Annual Music Festival", and the output was worthy of the return, although it was temporarily It is still not as popular as the Red and White Song Club that has been immersed in the hearts of the audience for so many years, but the ratings have been increasing year by year, and have even surpassed most of the TV programs on this station.

This year we are also working hard, investing more money, and inviting more national-level singers to sing this year's most popular music works. He vowed to further narrow the gap with the Kohaku Utakai.

When the person in charge of the "Annual Music Festival" was coordinating some matters for that day's party in the conference room, his assistant suddenly came to him and said: "Mr. Kojima, the repertoire and performers at NHK have almost been confirmed. We have already inquired about the specific program list. The order may still change, but there should be no major changes to the specific programs."

"Red and White Song Festival" and "Annual Music Festival" have now become competing programs, so there are often inquiries between the two parties to spy on each other. Once a show enters the official rehearsal stage, it will be difficult to keep the news secret.

"Well, are they still the same programs as originally planned? There is nothing new. It seems that NHK has also run out of ideas. There is nothing we can do. After all, it is a state-owned TV station and lacks the driving force for change..."

The assistant then said: "Mr. Kojima, there is something interesting..."

"What?"

"Teacher Fujiwara also contributed several programs to the Red and White Song Festival..."

Kojima looked at him in confusion: "What do you mean? Which Fujiwara-sensei?"

"It's Kei Fujiwara from Fukuyamadai."

This name has almost become a nightmare for TTV. Ever since the first ratings war, Kei Fujiwara seems to have been eyeing TTV from then on. They deliberately picked their good program time to cause trouble and stabbed TTV's buttocks with blood. Many programs that originally had high hopes were defeated by Fujiwara Kei's challenge. Hidaka Junaki was beaten so hard that he did not dare to take the lead during this period, and the top management at the station did not dare to let him produce new programs for fear of irritating him again. Kei Fujiwara.

Kojima is not from the TV drama department, so not only does he not care about this kind of thing, he actually feels a sense of schadenfreude. After hearing Fujiwara Kei's name, he couldn't help but frown.

"Isn't he writing scripts and novels? What is he messing with in music shows?"

"It is said that Mr. Fujiwara's late mother was a songwriter during her lifetime, and several of her works during her lifetime will appear on the stage of the Kohaku Utakai."

Xiaodao opened his mouth subconsciously: "Who is his mother? What is her name?"

The assistant shook his head: "I don't know. It is said that he was not a famous person. He was just an ordinary music teacher during his lifetime."

Kojima was stunned for a moment, then laughed out loud: "Those ridiculous guys at NHK... they would do anything to win over Kei Fujiwara, and they wouldn't be ashamed of it."

Almost everyone in the broadcasting industry knows that Kei Fujiwara's contract with Fukuyama Television is about to end, and many TV stations and production companies are trying to win over this talented author. TTV is no exception, so he knows some news.

He took it for granted that NHK agreed to his request in order to win Kei Fujiwara's next contract and to please him. How can a work written by a little-known music teacher during his lifetime be a good work?

It's simply outrageous that such an important program as the Red and White Song Festival is used to give favors...

Kojima couldn't help but sneer, and looked down upon NHK's losers more and more. The person in charge of the Kohaku Song Festival this time seemed to be Eikoro Yagami. He seemed to be a very capable music producer before, but he didn't expect that he would be like this in just a few years.

Kojima shook his head and stopped asking any more questions. The assistant hesitated to speak because he listened to NHK people and praised the new songs. However, after thinking about it, he finally didn’t say anything to his superiors, in case someone else I don't like hearing this.

After the final round of rehearsals, Arima Keika originally wanted to follow Kei Fujiwara back to his apartment, but Arima Sai suddenly pulled her and said: "Sister, dad said there is a family dinner tonight and he wants you to go home for dinner. "

Arima Keika looked at Fujiwara Kei with some reluctance, and then said: "Okay."

Arimamasai smiled and glanced at Fujiwara Kei: "Why don't Mr. Fujiwara come with us? He's not an outsider anyway."

Arima Keika looked at Kei Fujiwara expectantly, and Kei Fujiwara touched her head and said, "I won't go to your family banquet... Let's talk about it later when the time is right."

The Arima family's family dinner was not limited to Matsumoto Konemon and his wife and the Arima siblings. There were dozens of people and many unfamiliar faces. Being in such a big family, it was inevitable to be a little embarrassed.

"Okay..." Keixiang Arima stretched out her hand and shook Kei Fujiwara's hand, "See you tomorrow."

After Arima Keika and Arima Masai left, Fujiwara Kei was about to leave, when Inoue Mori suddenly came over again, looked up at Fujiwara Kei, and said with some hesitation: "Fujiwara-sensei, are you free tonight?"

"Huh?" Fujiwara Kei glanced at her, "What can I do for you?"

Inoue Mori hesitated again and said casually: "Teacher Fujiwara, do you still remember what I said before? If I had money, I would treat Mr. Fujiwara to a restaurant that is more expensive than kaiseki... I want to treat Mr. Fujiwara to dinner." "

Inoue Mori said seriously again.

Fujiwara Kei smiled and nodded casually, "That's perfect. I have time, now?"

Inoue Mori nodded again: "Well...but I can't drive yet, so I still have to trouble you to drive..."

Kei Fujiwara agreed, and under the command of Moriya Inoue, he went to a French restaurant in Chiyoda District. This is a Michelin-starred restaurant. Kei Fujiwara went there once, and the price was indeed high.

As Kei Fujiwara is one of the highest-paid writers in Japan, there is no pressure to go to this kind of restaurant, but the income of the artist itself is not particularly high, not to mention Mori Inoue is still a child now, let her invite such an expensive place, Fujiwara Kei was more or less embarrassed, so he tentatively said, "How about I invite you this time?"

Inoue Morimata shook his head solemnly and said, "No, I promised to invite you. I can't break my promise."

Fujiwara Kei didn't say anything more after that. After entering the restaurant, the two found a corner to sit down to eat, and then ordered dishes in a normal way. This restaurant felt like it made creative dishes, and it tasted a bit like molecular cuisine. It is to make one kind of ingredient into the taste and appearance of another kind of ingredient.

For example, make pistachios into cream ice cream, make oranges and coconut into omelette, make shrimp into tofu...

The taste is okay, but it still doesn't feel like it's worth the price. It's better to try something new.

Inoue Mori was sitting opposite Kei Fujiwara again, eating his meal very politely, at this moment he suddenly said: "Mr. Fujiwara, on the rooftop that day, was Jiansai rehearsing how to confess to me?"
