Tokyo Literary Godfather

Another awards season has begun.

In the past month or two, many award ceremonies have been held together. Although the organizers of each award have a tacit understanding on time, they will not be held on the same day.

But there are also three events in a week. Most of the crew will attend any prestigious awards ceremony. However, as he became less able to win awards, Kei Fujiwara gradually stopped participating in many awards events in person. If there are awards such as "Best Story", directors and producers often receive them on their behalf.

But Kei Fujiwara is a heavyweight guest, and his appearance can often attract attention. If he is willing to attend an award ceremony, more celebrities will be invited. It is said that it is just to have a few words with him at the cocktail party. The more celebrities are invited and the audience's attention is higher, at the same time, more brands will be willing to invest in the event.

Because of these chain reactions, whether or not Kei Fujiwara can be invited has even become an important criterion for whether many award ceremonies can attract investment. Even top awards like the Academy Awards actively invite Fujiwara Kei.

They even used the invitation of Kei Fujiwara as an important indicator to measure performance.

Under such circumstances, awards and other awards gradually lose their meaning. In addition to the three awards of Best Work and Best Actor and Actor, the other awards are very likely to fall into Fujiwaratani's trap as long as Kei Fujiwara gives the slightest hint.

Even if Kei Fujiwara wants these three awards, it won't be a problem. After all, even if the human factor is not taken into account, given the consistent popularity and quality of Kei Fujiwara's works, winning the Best Work Award will not cause any criticism.

At most, the organizer pretended to be embarrassed, then raised his glass and said hypocritically to Kei Fujiwara: "Teacher Fujiwara, I made an exception this time and promised you. I hope you will come to give me advice next time."

Anyway, awards are, to a certain extent, points for the five major TV stations. But Kei Fujiwara, as an individual creator and a small business owner, actually has the opportunity to sit at the same dining table with the five major TV stations and share the cold drinks with a knife and fork. Pork qualifications.

Before Kei Fujiwara's debut, this kind of thing was almost unimaginable.

At this time, Kei Fujiwara is also busy and having a headache.

Now is not the time to write scripts occasionally and leave all other things to Yui Mizuhara. At that time, there was plenty of time, and he could occasionally flirt with interns and flirt with female celebrities, but now Kei Fujiwara's time is almost squeezed out to very little.

This is after Yoshida Kashi has already shared the business pressure.

The three dramas are almost finished, but there is still a lot of follow-up finishing work, such as the sales of peripherals and video tapes, the follow-up work arrangements of the artists who became popular because of the TV series and the development of the artist department, and the partners for the next stage. options and so on.

In addition, Kei Fujiwara is now preparing to shoot a new movie, and there are even more things to do.

But it's not good to reject too much. After all, in order to get more passes in the broadcasting industry, Fujiwara Kei has not only worked hard on his works over the years, but also attached great importance to social interaction and made many friends. That's why after Shuibo Production reopened, everything went smoothly, but once the relationship got deeper, it was hard to refuse.

So he could only agree to some friends who had helped him in the past, but even if he had already made a choice, there were still endless activities to participate in. Every night Kei Fujiwara's scalp goes numb when he looks at the schedule for the next day compiled by his assistant.

Since the two dramas "White Tower" and "Blue Life and Death" have not yet been completed, Fujiwara Kei's only participating work this time is "Asa Is Here", but because of this, there is a lot of suspense about this award. A little more.

Otherwise, if Kei Fujiwara takes out the completed "White Tower", no matter which grand prize he goes to, it will be the same as carrying a Maxim machine gun to the cavalry battlefield. It is almost impossible to imagine other scenes except killing everyone.

Many producers who had the same broadcast time as "The White Tower" couldn't help but feel bitter in their hearts. The ratings were severely beaten, and all the awards were harvested.

How about this guy go back and write a book? So annoying!

In fact, this is also the wish of Kazuhiko Itagaki, the current director of the editorial department of Chunqiu Society.

That's right, the guy got another promotion.

The former director was promoted to executive, managing the copyright affairs of Chunqiu Society and responsible for the film and television adaptations of works. As the editor with the greatest contribution in the past three years, Itagaki Kazuhiko has made "Spring and Autumn Literature Appreciation" the leading novel magazine in the country. The cumulative sales of the single novel by the author Kei Fujiwara he discovered has exceeded 30 million, which has brought great success to the company. The revenue of tens of billions has almost exceeded the capital size of a company.

So after the former minister moved to his new position, he, the deputy minister, was naturally promoted. Responsible for the subsequent operations of a series of high-selling magazines such as "Spring and Autumn Literature Appreciation" and the works published in these magazines.

Mrs. Itagaki received the news of her husband's promotion after a year and a half. She was very happy and put on the schedule to buy a new car and send her children to an expensive private middle school.

At the same time, she also started to ask when Kei Fujiwara will get married and who the bride will be so that she can get along well with that person. She also wants to further bind the Itagaki family and the Fujiwara family through the relationship between their wives, preferably by becoming family friends!

Spring and Autumn Society also opened several new magazines and invested in many film and television projects this year because of the super money printing machine of Kei Fujiwara and a large amount of cash flow.

In order to keep this banknote printing machine, the senior executives in the Spring and Autumn Club also tried every means. In addition to further increasing Kei Fujiwara's royalties, they tried to meet all his requirements, even before he made the request, they tried to find a way satisfy his request.

Every time Kei Fujiwara’s new TV series is broadcast, the magazines of Spring and Autumn Club will use the highest standard of pages to promote it in their own magazines. Even when "The White Giant Tower" first aired, "Spring and Autumn Literature Appreciation" dedicated to "White TV Show" "Giant Tower" designed artistic posters, which were included as gifts in the inside pages of the magazine. And Kei Fujiwara did not pay the magazine a penny, did not even make any demands, or give any hints.

You have brought it up, and I will help you with things. Doesn't it seem that I am ignorant?

Judging from the current sales volume and influence of "Spring and Autumn Literature Appreciation", in fact, the cost of this level of publicity must be quite high. And the gesture of "Spring and Autumn Literature Appreciation" is indeed very generous.

And Kazuhiko Itagaki, as the editor with the best relationship with Kei Fujiwara in the entire Spring and Autumn Club, naturally received the attention of the club. When Itagaki Kazuhiko was promoted to deputy minister before, he actually jumped two levels in a row. The main reason was that a saying suddenly spread in the publishing industry that if you want to poach Fujiwara Kei, you must first poach Itagaki Kazuhiko's shovel.

After the high-level executives in the company heard about it, they issued a personnel appointment to Itagaki Kazuhiko overnight...

At the same time, I am also determined to cultivate and discover more writers with super strength like Kei Fujiwara. Otherwise, if there is only such a T0-level author, I will always feel uneasy!
