Tokyo Literary Godfather

The show also specially invited young male artists as guests to contribute small-window performances - Miyano Kaori, who is famous for shooting tokusatsu dramas, has also been on the rise recently.

After the program was aired, the ratings were quite impressive. Although it was not a record-breaking number, it could be considered a success.

After the first episode of the program was broadcast, senior executives from NHK's Second Production Center approached Shuibo Productions and began to discuss the follow-up cooperation of this variety show. NHK planned to make "Underage Proposal" one of their longevity variety shows. A long-lived variety show with high ratings is a stable money printing machine for TV stations.

Although variety shows are not the focus of Shuibo Production, Shuibo Production has had a good start after the restart, which is a good sign.

…

Togata Nanako's eyes were filled with new pizza flavors, and these were the masterpieces of Ogata Shinyo.

Fortunately, these new pizza flavors do not incorporate Ogata Mayo's terrifying innovative cooking abilities.

Since Ogata Maashiro developed "Strawberry Mapo Tofu" and "Spicy Beef Daifuku" and actively launched these dishes in her own restaurant, her parents gave her a hard education. Then her innovation power visibly weakened, to a level acceptable to humans.

Ogata Mayo invented a "three-flavor meatball pizza". There are three flavors of meatballs, beef, pork and fish on the crust. It tastes really good.

Togada Nanako was eating pizza while writing and drawing on the manuscript paper.

Ogata Mayo also sat next to Togata Nanako, picked up a piece of pizza and put it in his mouth, and said boastfully: "Well, that's really good, as expected of me."

Then, I took a look at the content of Togada Nanako's paintings and knew that she was recently writing the outline of a new book, so I asked: "What, have you decided what to write in the new book?"

Togada Nanako put away her pen and shook her head in distress: "Not yet... I'm still thinking about it."

Her first work sold about 80,000 copies in almost half a year, and was nominated for the Ranpo Prize. For a newcomer, this is a good result. And she also successfully obtained the qualification to serialize the next work, and Itagaki Kazuhiko promised to leave space for her next work.

But she was in a tangle and had no idea what to write.

To be precise, there is a problem with confidence. Although for a newcomer, the results of her first work are not bad, after all, her industry leader is Fujiwara Kei, and she has always regarded Fujiwara Kei as her goal and ideal.

However, her actual results were far from her ideals. Although Togada Nanako knew that her skills were inferior to others and was mentally prepared for this, she still felt a little disappointed.

In addition, after the work was published, many professional book reviewers did not give good reviews, especially senior Chiba Shinichi who originally praised Fujiwara Kei. This book reviewer is known for his neutrality and strictness, and his evaluation of Togada Nanako's works is "barely passing". Considering that she is a newcomer, if all her subsequent works are of similar level, she will be destined to be a second-rate writer in her life.

Many letters from readers also further shaken her creative direction. Many people said that although she wrote mystery novels, the relationship between the male and female protagonists was very touching. In contrast, her tricks seemed very... Simple and common. Not to mention being compared to the master of trickery Kei Fujiwara, he is not even comparable to ordinary mystery writers.

Even Itagaki Kazuhiko suggested to her whether she should change her creative direction?

At this moment, Ogata Mayo took the remote control and said, "Togata, I want to watch TV for a while, so I won't disturb you, right?"

Togata Nanako raised her head, nodded and said, "It doesn't matter, just take a look."

"Teacher Fujiwara seems to have bought Minami Production Company now, and he has become the president." Ogata Shinyo suddenly said, and he didn't know whether he was talking to himself or to Nanako Togata, "This program on NHK seems to It was produced by Mr. Fujiwara's company."

Hearing this, Togada Nanako subconsciously looked up and saw that it was a variety show called "Underage Advocacy", which should be a campus variety show.

Japan’s campus culture is rich and colorful, so various TV programs, animations, and novels with campus as the background are endless.

Nanako Togada watched it for a while, and when she saw the "Rooftop Confessions" link, some programs of the same type immediately appeared in her mind. Rooftop confession is not uncommon in variety shows or TV dramas, and it is not a new program.

However, after looking at it for a while, I found that the form of the [Confession on the Roof] has changed a lot this time. It's not the kind of one-on-one confession of feelings full of youthful throbbing and teenage ambiguity, but embarrassing things about yourself or your relatives and friends in front of many people in full view of the public.

"Finally! Me too! The hair is growing there!" shouted a young boy who still looked like a child.

Immediately afterwards, there was a fat boy: "My sister is usually a tomboy, but once when I was chatting with her boyfriend, I discovered her girly side~"

Then, the boy began to imitate his sister's tone:

"Hate, you are too bad~"

"Don't say such things to people~"

"I can't say it, I can't say it~"

"My brother will hear..."

"I like it~ I like it~"

Then, the camera focused on the boy's sister under the rooftop.

Togata looked at his sister's shy and anxious look and couldn't help laughing.

Immediately afterwards, the program effects emerged one after another, one after another.

"I am Kimura in fifth grade. I originally wanted to say something about my sister, but before the show started, my sister warned me that if you dare to say bad things about me, I will blow you up, so I don't plan to say anything about her. Got it!"

"Today I'm going to talk about my ideal marriage type! If I tell her, give me some snacks, but she refuses to give me any food, I will definitely not marry her!"

"And the kind of person who rolls up a newspaper into a baseball bat and hits me on the head, I will never choose her!"

Immediately afterwards, a line of words floated on the TV - [Are you really not talking about sister? 】

However, the next moment, a figure appeared on the rooftop, slowly approaching the boy who was [Confessing on the Rooftop]...

The first episode was only half an hour, but it was full of jokes, and the format of the program had never been seen before, so it was very innovative.

After the show, Ogata Shinyo said: "Fujiwara-sensei is really amazing. This new show is also very interesting. I am actually more interested in variety shows than TV series..."

At this time, Ogata Shinyo clenched his fist and knocked on the table very seriously, "I have decided, I want to join Mr. Fujiwara's work, I want to join Mizuha Productions and become a variety show producer!"
