Tokyo Literary Godfather

Miura Fuyube did not regret what he had done. On the contrary, if he had not exposed Matsushita Shinya's despicable behavior in front of the public, he would have regretted it for a long time.

But whether you regret it or not, you must find a way to survive, which is the most important thing right now.

At this moment, he saw the advertisement for submissions from the [Shuibo Prize]. The generous bonus of several million for the winning prize immediately attracted him. Even if there was no way to win the prize, he only got the second prize for the best category, which meant that Get a job as a professional screenwriter.

So he re-polished and enriched the outline of a story he had written before, wrote a script for a historical drama, and submitted it to Shuibo Productions.

After a long wait, the result finally came, and his work was nominated.

This was news like rain after a long drought. He had been eating salt rice balls for several days in a row. If there was no food, he would buy potato chips from convenience stores that were on sale during the last period. He had no money to pay for next month's rent.

It would be even better if he could win the championship... Miura Fuyube said nervously.

"Excuse me, are you Miura Fuyube?" At this moment, a boy wearing glasses walked up to Miura Fuyube, bent slightly and asked.

Miura Fuyube raised his head, looked at the person in front of him, felt strange, and nodded.

"It really is you. You also participated in this competition. I thought it was the same name at first." The man said excitedly.

"Miura Fuyube, who is it?"

"Don't you know? It was him before, who was robbed of his work by a veteran screenwriter. This incident caused a lot of trouble more than two years ago."

"Aww, I remembered."

There were two winners discussing in a low voice beside them.

Miura Fuyube smiled awkwardly: "Hello, hello..."

"Mr. Miura, what are you doing now?" The man continued to ask. He wanted to know how Miura Tobe's situation was after the incident. At that time, everyone was discussing and conjecturing that if Miura Fuyube caused such a big disturbance, he might not have a place in the screenwriting world in the future. Not to mention that he would not have the opportunity to be the main creator, he might not even be able to get an ordinary screenwriting position.

And it seems that is indeed the case... This competition only allows screenwriters and newcomers who have never been a main creator to participate. Miura Fuyube can participate in this competition. It seems that more than two years have passed, and Miura Fuyube's industry status is still close to that of newcomers.

"I have been writing novels these years, barely making a living...but it seems that writing scripts is more suitable for me..." Miura Fuyube smiled awkwardly.

Everyone was silent. It seemed that Miura Fuyube was retaliated for being the vanguard in revealing the darkness and secrets of the screenwriting industry. Otherwise, based on his historical works and qualifications, it would be more than enough to be a chief screenwriter, but now he has been reduced to participating in awards with newcomers like them.

Togada Nanako sat quietly aside, tilted her head and looked at Miura Tobe, thought of something again, and frowned again.

"They are all very young... They can write good works at such a young age. They seem to be quite talented people." Mizuhara Yui looked at these people and said with emotion.

Kei Fujiwara stood aside and said: "Yes. But that's how it should be. Originally, the [Mizunami Award] was a grand competition to select young screenwriters. If a bunch of old people come, I have to pay their pensions. Young people are worried about the changes of the times. They are more sensitive and have stronger control over popular culture. On the contrary, some older people always stubbornly write some outdated things without realizing it..."

"But just being [quite talented] is not enough. This level can only support them to barely enter the industry. No one who can enter the industry at a young age is without talent. If you want to succeed in this industry, you need to be among these talented people. It’s also about being outstanding.”

"Is it just like you?" Mizuhara Yui couldn't help but said.

"Haha." Kei Fujiwara didn't answer.

Media reporters also came in, mainly reporters from NHK and Chunqiu. They are also the main partners of [Water Wave Shopping].

After the host introduced the winners and winning works respectively, he came to the most critical link and announced the winning works.

The metal plate engraved with the title of the winning work was covered with a piece of red cloth. Kei Fujiwara appeared under the spotlight and, in conjunction with the live session, lifted the red cloth to reveal the title of the work and the author's name on the metal plate.

The media reporters in the audience kept pressing the flash again, and the metal plate continued to reflect light.

The staff had informed Miura Fuyube of the award twenty minutes in advance, so he was not too surprised when he saw his name. However, when he went on stage to receive the award, the embarrassment and uneasiness on his face were still obvious.

He held up a metal plate engraved with his name and the title of his work. Kei Fujiwara stood beside him and whispered: "It doesn't matter, it will be over soon, two minutes, just a formality."

"Okay...Thank you for giving me this opportunity, Mr. Fujiwara..." Miura Fuyube whispered his thanks.

"You don't need to thank me." Fujiwara Keiya whispered: "To be honest, I didn't even remember who you were at first. It was your work that impressed the judges. You have superior abilities. I will award you the award. This is natural." As it should be."

Fujiwara Kei took a look at Miura Fuyube and saw that he was wearing an obviously inappropriate coat, and he almost understood his current situation.

He suddenly thought of something and asked: "Miura-kun, do you regret what you did?"

"I don't regret it." Miura Fuyube said without thinking.

"Miura-kun, these two years have not been easy...but it doesn't matter. The hard days will eventually come to an end. I believe that those who do the right thing will have good results." Kei Fujiwara smiled.

"That's what I believed in the beginning, so I stood here and met you, Miura-kun. It seems that people with the same belief will eventually stand on the same high platform."

"Teacher Fujiwara..." Miura Fuyube choked up, tears welling up in his eyes, and this scene was keenly captured by the reporter's camera.

After the award ceremony, Kei Fujiwara took the award-winning contestants to a nearby restaurant for dinner. During the dinner, Kei Fujiwara promised that if everyone here is willing to work at Mizunami Productions and become professional screenwriters, he will directly make an offer. If you have other plans, that's okay. He will also help introduce other production agencies.

The players were very happy, and some seemed a little disappointed. Some contestants have high self-esteem and thought they would win, but they did not expect that someone else would win the prize. Some people even think that Mr. Fujiwara sympathized with Miura Fuyube's situation, so he gave him the winning prize?

Of course they didn't know that Kei Fujiwara was behind the dispute between Miura Fuyube and his teacher. However, he sincerely suspects that Kei Fujiwara's sympathy is behind Miura Fuyube's award.

Although some players would not say such thoughts openly, they could not hold back their accusations. I feel that Kei Fujiwara does not use strength as the only criterion to evaluate his works.

Kei Fujiwara did not take the initiative to explain anything, because there was no need to explain. He has bound the winning works into a book and will publish them publicly. Those who are willing can go and see them directly. If you have seen Miura Fuyube's works, you will know that this person's works are completely ahead of others in terms of completion. Do you understand the value of ten years of hard work in the screenwriting world?

For such a person who has such ability and experience, but has been unable to obtain the identity of the main creator because of encountering an old dog, it is okay to give him a winner as a grievance award.

After three rounds of drinking, Miura Tobe became a little drunk, and his face turned into a guan gong. When he was drunk, he started crying and scolding Matsushita Shinya. The people next to him were very happy to see him getting drunk and working hard, and the atmosphere at the table suddenly became tense.

A few hours later, Kei Fujiwara sent staff to take the drunk person home. Kei Fujiwara did not drink, so he personally took Nanako Togada home.
