Tokyo Literary Godfather

The final winning entry of [Water Wave Awards] has been selected.

It is a historical drama called "Before the Great Victory", written by Miura Fuyube.

When Kei Fujiwara saw this name at first, he felt it was very familiar, but he couldn't remember who it was. He has also seen this work and found it very mature.

It is definitely not something that can be written by someone who is new to the industry. This does not mean that the works of newcomers are necessarily bad. There are also talented creators among newcomers. However, even if these talented authors show some flashes of inspiration in their works, their works will inevitably have some problems caused by lack of experience, such as rough writing, insufficient rhythm, etc.

This work is so professional and mature. It looks like the author has been in the industry for a long time and has received a lot of professional training.

Therefore, Fujiwara Keiya asked the person in charge of the Mizuha Prize to check the author’s identity again when he comes to receive the award. [Water Wave Award] is, after all, an award for newcomers. If the author himself is already a mature screenwriter in the industry, he does not meet the award criteria.

However, after investigation, there is no problem with the author's identity. Although he has worked in the industry for many years, he has never served as a creative screenwriter, and he does meet the criteria for the [Water Wave Award]. And he himself has a lot of connections with Kei Fujiwara.

He is a disciple of Shinya Matsushita.

Fujiwara Kei did not remember Miura Fuyube, but he was deeply impressed by the name Matsushita Shinya, and he remembered Miura through Matsushita Shinya.

Miura Fuyube was originally a disciple of Shinya Matsushita and worked as a contemporary pen for him for many years. Later, he was dismissed because of a drunken complaint. Later, under the arrangement of Kei Fujiwara, the Miura screenwriter volunteered to expose Shinya Matsushita's bad behavior and became the vanguard of Kei Fujiwara's public opinion counterattack.

I remember that when Miura Tobe accused Matsushita Shinya of robbing works as a disciple, there was a lot of fuss. At that time, Fujiwara Keiya made a promise like a fever, and if Miura Toube didn't mind, he was willing to provide Miura Toube with a job. However, Later, Miura didn't come to see him. There was also a problem of self-esteem.

Although he knew that he was being used as a knife by Fujiwara Kei, his behavior in exposing Matsushita Shinya was purely out of anger and justice, and he did not want this matter to turn into a deal.

"It turned out to be him..." Fujiwara Kei muttered.

Then I read the historical drama script he wrote again, and I felt even more that it was a good work with unique craftsmanship and long-lasting flavor. Being able to write such a work is definitely enough to be a creative screenwriter. Can't help but sigh in my heart again: Panasonic, you old dog, you forced such a talent to almost quit this business, do you think you deserve to die?

On the day of receiving the award, the nominees came to the venue of the [Shuibo Award] award ceremony one after another, waiting for the announcement of the winning works.

The winning prize has been selected, but it has not been announced yet. This is still a mystery that has not yet been revealed. The nominees who have won the second prize are nervously waiting for the results to be announced.

Of course they hope that they can win. Although the second prize is also very good, no matter how generous the bonus is or the organizer's promise, the second prize is far from being comparable to the first prize.

Miura Fuyube was wearing a coat, sitting in the nominee's seat, and there were other nominees sitting nearby, chatting and introducing themselves.

Although it is not certain that anyone here will be the winner, everyone is the winner of the second prize, which is equivalent to half a foot in the circle. Even if there is no way to be the main creator right away, getting a job opportunity is certain. From now on, everyone will be in the same circle, so we need to take care of each other and exchange inspiration.

There are a total of seven or eight nominees, most of whom are young people, and Miura Fuyube is considered old among them in his early thirties.

Young people love to socialize, and soon a few people have become one with each other.

Miura Fuyube just sat silently at the side, listening to the others. He placed his hands quietly on his thighs and looked forward quietly. He held a disposable water cup in his hand. The water in the cup had been finished and the cup was squeezed softly.

There was a slight sweat on the chest and back. In fact, it was not late autumn yet, and the cold air had not yet hit. Miura Fuyube's coat seemed a bit advanced, and it seemed even more stuffy indoors. But Miura Fuyube didn't dare to take it off, because there was a washed-out shirt under the coat, and he only had this coat that he could handle.

Life without a job is indeed very difficult. I can barely make a living by writing short stories and contributing to magazines. After paying the rent, utilities and lunch, there is not much left in the monthly remuneration. He also thought about working in the screenwriting industry again, but the side effects of exposing his teacher in front of the camera showed up. No TV station was willing to hire him, and no well-established chief screenwriter was willing to accept him into the studio.

Miura Fuyube felt that the flame of his life was about to go out.

There was even an interview where a veteran screenwriter was in charge of interviewing him. During the interview, the veteran screenwriter suddenly asked, what was his purpose of exposing Shinya Matsushita in front of the media?

"I'm very curious about your purpose, because as you know, some things have become rules. Since they are matters within the industry, outsiders must not be able to understand them. Making these things known to everyone is in itself a very unprofessional way. So I never understood your original behavior. I thought it was good for you, but now you can't even find a job. This shouldn't be the first time you write a cover letter, right? ?”

The veteran screenwriter was so full of ridicule that he almost overflowed with laughter.

Since that incident, the screenwriting industry has become a lot more troublesome. Many young people are not satisfied with working for their teachers anymore, and have begun to resist. Many people have followed suit and have begun to expose their own stories through the media. teacher.

Some veteran screenwriters who have this bad habit of letting their disciples ghostwrite have no choice but to pick up the pen again.

Therefore, these veteran screenwriters are very resentful towards Miura Fuyube, thinking that he has ruined the atmosphere in the industry.

Miura Fuyube looked at the veteran screenwriter in front of him without saying anything. He also realized that it was impossible for the other party to hire him. The reason why he was still willing to say so much in front of him was because he wanted to teach him a lesson, just like a cat playing with a mouse. Same.

The veteran screenwriter then said again: "I will ask you one last question. This question will determine whether I hire you..."

The other party looked at Miura Fuyube and asked with a half-smile: "Do you regret your original actions now? If I hired you and asked you to do the same thing as you did under Mr. Matsushita, would you be willing? Will you look for me again? Did the reporter expose me?"

After saying that, he looked at Miura Fuyube with a playful expression.

Miura Fuyube said almost without thinking: "I don't regret it, and I don't want to."

The other party's face instantly became extremely ugly. In fact, no matter how Miura Fuyube answers, it is impossible for him to hire the other party. But I still want to play with this arrogant boy and make young people realize their mistakes and pay the price for their mistakes. It is also the responsibility of the elders.

But Miura Fuyube didn't accept this trick at all. He finally recognized the face of the person in front of him, and at the same time sadly realized in his heart: There is only one Shinya Matsushita, and Shinya Matsushita is everywhere.

Miura Fuyube left, but the veteran screenwriter kept shouting behind him: "Don't worry, no matter where you are, you won't be able to find a job, I guarantee it!"
