Tokyo Literary Godfather

Zhong Daiyingji also received an invitation to watch the screening of "Confession", and he agreed without much hesitation.

It is estimated that he was asked to help support the scene, although he didn't have a good impression of Fujiwara Kei, and felt that he was arrogant and rude.

This impression was not formed overnight, because of Arima Guixiang, he didn't like this person at the beginning. Later, Zhong Daiyingji planned to shoot a new film, and the concubine of the president of Matsuri Films insisted on stuffing his younger brother into his crew as the chief assistant director. At that time, Zhong Daiying had just experienced the failure of "Bai Ye Xing", so he had no confidence, and he really didn't dare to offend this woman, so he agreed. However, after agreeing, he knew the pain.

The president's brother-in-law is completely a noob on the set, he doesn't understand anything at all, he just messes around in the set all day long, that's all, the key is that he likes to mess up, and directly ignores the director to bring wine to the set. He also hooked up with a young actor in the harassment group, the key point is that the actor is only fifteen years old.

Zhong Daiying is not considered a gentleman, but he still has some bottom line. This kind of young person never dares to go beyond the threshold, and this guy seems to have no scruples.

Zhong Daiying became more and more disgusted with this person, but he didn't dare to express his feelings to him, so he could only swallow it silently.

However, he knew that this person wanted to join Kei Fujiwara's crew at the beginning, but he was rejected by others, so he joined his own team, and he became even more angry, and he also had opinions on Kei Fujiwara-why don't you eat shit? I eat?

But there's no way around it, who made Kei Fujiwara's industry status higher than his own, and told him rationally that it's no fault of Kei Fujiwara.

So after being invited, I still came to the screening with a smile on my face.

But it wasn't until he walked into the cinema and sat down on his seat that he suddenly thought of a question: this movie and "White Night Journey" have the same heroine, if this movie becomes popular, will he look particularly incompetent?

Thinking of this, Zhong Daiying and Wei Wei were a little dazed, not to mention, they really hadn't considered this issue before today...but it seems to be a somewhat urgent issue.

You must know that after the failure of "Bai Ye Xing", in order to maintain his professional credit, he deliberately blamed Arima Guixiang for the failure of the film. But if this movie is successful...

Thinking of this, Zhong Daiyingji's face turned slightly pale.

There were quite a few people at the screening, most of whom were specially invited critics from film magazines, media reporters and industry insiders.

Everyone is in the same circle, so no matter how well the film is shot, as long as it is not particularly eye-catching, they will praise a few words on the surface, but after leaving the screening, the true evaluation of this film will gradually dissipate Open up, thus affecting the theater's film scheduling and the audience's choice of movies.

Chiba Shinichi also came, sitting not far from Nakadaiyingji. When Zhongdaiyingji saw him, the corner of his mouth twitched slightly. This guy was very rude when he commented on his work at the beginning!

Chiba Shinichi is very famous among reasoning readers, and he can't be bought. Many reasoning readers and even suspense movie lovers pay attention to his movie viewing evaluation. When Kei Fujiwara became famous, his first book sold well, and his evaluation articles also helped. Later, after Kei Fujiwara became famous, I heard that he wanted to invite him to dinner, but he refused.

According to him, he just likes Kei Fujiwara's works and is not interested in the author himself. If you have friendship with Kei Fujiwara, you may not be able to objectively evaluate his works in the future. In this case, it will be of no benefit to the author or to the critics.

After hearing this, Kei Fujiwara had no choice but to give up.

This kind of person can indeed win the respect of the circle, but sometimes it is indeed annoying.

There were also other well-known people from the media and broadcasting circles who came, some of whose faces Nakadai Hideji recognized.

For example, famous writers and professors Kamiya Momoka and Naka Daihide knew that this female professor was the girlfriend of Mr. Shirai, so they were not surprised to come to join him. But what surprised him was that I, Sakuradabe, also came.

This is a great writer with a historical level in Japan. His status is extremely high. He came from that chaotic era and is a living modern history book. Even successive prime ministers often visited him.

In addition to Sakuradabe and me, many senior figures in the literary world came to watch the movie, such as Junshan Ubu, the president of the Mystery Writers Association, the talented writer Mika Miyano, and other well-known writers.

It seems that Kei Fujiwara has not been in vain in the literary world these years, and has met many famous people.

In addition to the literary world, more people came from the broadcasting world, including many well-known hosts from NHK and well-known artists and singers who had collaborated with Kei Fujiwara. The lineup is quite luxurious, and some of them were invited by Hideyoshi Nakadai when "White Night Journey" was released. But these people did not accept the invitation, citing lack of time.

Because coming to the screening is more or less with the intention of recommending this movie to the platform. If the movie has a bad reputation, people like them will also be complained by the audience.

But they agreed to Fujiwara Kei's invitation, which also made Nakadai Hideji feel a little resentful. You guys... do you look down on people?

Kei Fujiwara, you guys too! Why didn't you have such a connection when "White Night Walk" was screened? If this guy had been interested, the outcome of the movie might have been different!

A group of people came to the movie viewing area, and those who knew each other would stand or sit on the ground to chat. After a while, the lights in the theater gradually dimmed, and these people stopped talking.

Nakadai Hideji subconsciously looked at Chiba Shinichi not far away, and suddenly a vindictive thought came into his heart: You guys must implement your habit of having a bad mouth. If this movie doesn't suit your taste, We must resolutely criticize it!

…

Nanako Togata and Shinyo Ogata were also invited to the screening. Seeing that they were surrounded by famous people, the two were a little nervous.

Moreover, because of their acquaintance with Fujiwara Kei and Ohno Nagaharu, the two were assigned to the front seat. Most of the front seats were celebrities, such as actor Takaharu Miyata, kabuki actor and film star Kakitoyo Ishida, famous writer Mika Miyano, etc. people.

Togata Nanako was born in a wealthy family, and she has met many famous people since she was a child. However, Mika Miyano is her idol, and her position in her heart may be higher than Kei Fujiwara, because she is considered a leading novel writer in Japan. Compared with Kei Fujiwara, one of the few women in the movie has more purpose for her. So I was a little nervous for a while. His hands subconsciously grasped the skirt.

At this moment, Miyano Mika turned her head and saw her: "Hello. Is this Miss Togata?"

"Yes... yes." Nanako Togata was a little excited, "You remember me."

Miyano Mika smiled and nodded: "Of course, haven't we met in the agency before? I've seen your work. As a newcomer's work, it is quite excellent."

Nanako lowered her head slightly: "But neither the market nor word-of-mouth is particularly good..."

"It's pretty good for a newcomer. My first work in life was in a similar situation to yours." Miyano Mika comforted, and suddenly thought of something, and added: "Let's not compare with Fujiwara Keina. Alright, this person is a different kind... Ah, the movie has started, let's talk about it after it's over."

The movie has officially started, and the movie screen gradually lights up dimly.
