Tokyo Literary Godfather

After Kei Fujiwara read this work, he felt that Togada Nanako's works should be among the few among the top three works this time.

Of course, since this is the first [Mizunami Awards], Kei Fujiwara attaches great importance to the fairness of the competition. All works will be released to the public in due course. In order to avoid being filtered by acquaintances, Kei Fujiwara did not give this work a The scoring was handed over directly to other judges.

All the works of Shuibo Shan can be divided into several major categories, namely: professional dramas, historical dramas, suspense dramas, trend dramas, ethical dramas, life dramas and others.

Seven categories are a lot. Selecting the best work in each category means there are seven second prizes, but only the only work among them will be selected as the first prize.

Mizunami Production cannot be supported by himself alone, which is exactly what Kei Fujiwara intends to do to tap more creators.

The first episode of "The White Tower" was produced first. The production team invited Fujiwara Kei to watch the original film. During the TV viewing process, Fujiwara Kei remained silent throughout the whole process and watched it carefully. The creative team members headed by Nishimura Taro had nervous expressions on their faces, not at all relaxed, and they were always looking at him secretly from time to time.

It wasn't until the episode was played that Kei Fujiwara nodded slightly subconsciously, and the sound of exhalation slowly sounded in the screening room, and his heart relaxed.

"It's not much different..." Fujiwara Kei thought to himself.

It's not much different from "The White Tower" he watched in his previous life. Even Miyata Takayoshi, who plays Goro Zaizen as the protagonist, has better acting skills.

In addition to the actors, in terms of rhythm and style, Fujiwara Keiichi set the tone from the beginning, so the production team restored it perfectly, even if they had never seen the original film.

Unlike movies, it is very easy for a country's TV series to gradually become unified in style. If you just look at the style of painting, it is difficult to tell which country in China, Japan and South Korea a movie is from, but it is much easier to tell which country a TV series is from. TV dramas from every country seem to have their own body odor, with a distinct smell.

Take the various ancient puppet plays in later generations of China as an example. Their style is as neat as an army.

Therefore, when shooting the same script in front of an experienced team, as long as the content of the script is detailed and clear enough, you can often shoot something of a similar style without going too far off.

In order to reflect professionalism, the production team specially hired medical experts as consultants, so there are unlikely to be scenes that go against medical common sense.

Of course, there are still differences from real hospitals and surgical scenes, and professional doctors can see it at a glance. Some areas that are inconsistent with reality are easy to modify, but some content involves the core plot. Once modified to conform to the original appearance of reality, the plot settings will inevitably be changed.

However, Kei Fujiwara rejected the idea of ​​changing the plot for the sake of "reasonability". After all, the original author of "The White Tower" is not a practitioner in the medical profession, but graduated from a liberal arts college, so it is normal to have a little knowledge of real medical scenes. When filming a professional drama, there is no need to pursue "absolute truth", and TV dramas are not documentaries. .

"But... if there is a scenario that is not consistent with reality, there will be negative comments from viewers within the industry..." Nishimura Taro hesitated and said.

"It doesn't matter." Kei Fujiwara replied, "It would be great if the plot can be more realistic without affecting the plot, but if you want to sacrifice the conflict and interest of the plot itself, it is completely unnecessary. After all, The target group of TV series is laypeople.”

"If the TV series is poorly shot, the plot deviates from reality is worthy of criticism, but if the TV series is presented well, it is harmless to be inconsistent with the real situation."

Kei Fujiwara set the tone, and Taro Nishimura gave it a go. The reason why Kei Fujiwara gave such a tone is because what he said is indeed true: in any cultural work, interest is more important than logic. A work can be so brainless and refreshing that it deviates from reality. Even if it is scolded like shit in the end, it will at least be commercially successful; but even if a work respects authenticity and logic very much, if it is boring and plain, it will still be commercially successful. Still a failure.

The second is the drama "White Tower". Although it is a medical drama, it is more about personnel, the workplace, and politics. Rather than medical treatment itself, there are not many plots involving treatment and surgery.

After Kei Fujiwara watched "The White Tower", he directly asked Nishimura Taro to submit the original film to TTV for review. After review, it can be broadcast as scheduled.

Less than two days later, the first episode of "Blue Life and Death" was also produced and edited. The pictures are very sophisticated. The advantages of using such a mature photographer as a co-director are reflected. Any frame captured is very effective. Beauty can reflect his aesthetic skills as a photographer.

At this point, the first episodes of both dramas have been produced, and it won’t be long before the acceptance moment comes.

Togada Nanako packed up her books and left school. Graduation season is approaching, and there are fewer and fewer classes. Today, Nanako Togata came to class because a very famous professor came to school.

After the course, Togata Nanako came to a restaurant selling sukiyaki. After waiting for a long time, the curtain of the restaurant was suddenly opened, and Ogata Shinyo came in panting, wearing a suit and sitting down. Next to Togata, he raised his hand to the noodle shop owner and said: "Boss, two bowls of original ramen, double beef, thank you. Ah, Nanako, it's so tiring to find a job..."

Ogata Shinyo said as he wiped the sweat from his forehead with the back of his hand.

The sun is blazing in Tokyo today. Togata Nanako has already put on short-sleeved shirts, while Ogata Mayo has put on a long-sleeved suit and ran long distances under the bright sun, attending interviews with several companies in one breath.

Taking a closer look, the back of the suit was soaked.

"This year is really difficult. They say this is the golden age of the media industry, but why is it so difficult to find a job? Have you heard? That guy Xiaosaki has given up on finding a job and plans to marry her boyfriend directly. A housewife, she had vowed to be an outstanding workplace superwoman..." Ogata Shinyo continued, "If I can't find a suitable job by the end of this year, I will go home and inherit the family. Forget it about the pizza place.”

Togata Nanako glanced at Ogata Mayo with some distress. The employment situation this year was still not good. She had heard before that Mr. Fujiwara couldn't find a job after graduation, so he had to work in a bookstore and write books while working. I was still a little confused, but now I can finally understand the graduate's dilemma after seeing Ogata Mayo's appearance.

That is because she is a rich second generation and is already a well-known author, otherwise her understanding will be further deepened.

Soon, the noodles were served. While sucking the noodles, Ogata Shinyo said: "By the way, Nanako, do you still plan to continue writing novels?"

"I don't know..." Nanako held her chin and said with some distress. The nominations for this year's Ranpo Awards were announced, and her works were among the nominees. However, after seeing all the nominated works, she didn't have any confidence at all. Received the random reward.

The reason is that there is an extremely popular work in this year's Ranpo Prize, called "Lizard Fire". It is a social mystery work that is selling very hotly. Its sales volume and momentum are close to Fujiwara Kei's "Confession" and "Gambling Silence". "Revelation", almost all book reviewers predicted that this book would win this year's Ranpo Prize.

Nanako Togada also watched this work, and it was indeed better than hers. Whether it was the plot or the conspiratorial design, it was a level higher than hers, which made her feel that she had no hope of winning.

The writer who wrote this popular mystery work is named "Yamazaki Naoki". He is also a newcomer and is hailed as the cross-border genius after Kei Fujiwara.

Yes, he is also a cross-border person, and it is exactly the opposite of Kei Fujiwara who writes books first and then makes movies. He was originally a film supervisor. After graduating from college, he shot an independent film with a mere investment of 10 million. It has a box office of one billion yen, which is a very high profit rate. And just when everyone thought he would continue to achieve success in the film industry, he published his novel and became an instant sensation.
