Tokyo Literary Godfather

So after seeing Kei Fujiwara, Miya Sato was inevitably a little moved. This man is so talented that it seems easy for him to become famous personally. In the past few years, most of the popular artists in Japan who started from scratch have something to do with him.

This person is very good at making works, and now he is not just a creator, he has opened his own company, and has changed from a cake maker to a cake sharer. He is no longer a "card player", but a player. Erpai people. If I could develop a close relationship with him, maybe...

And unlike Nobi Shisuke, this man is very young. If you can hold this man's arm, wouldn't it be better than serving an old man?

But it seems to be very difficult for this idea to become a reality. Not to mention anything else, just thinking about how to squeeze away the woman named Arima Guixiang beside him is a problem.

When it comes to appearance, Sato Mia is very confident, but it depends on who she is competing with. Standing next to Arima Keika, she still feels a little guilty.

Forget it, let’s talk about it later when we have a chance. Miya Sato sighed secretly.

…

There is also news from Ken Nagasawa. The artist said that he rejected the initial intention and decided to cooperate with Kei Fujiwara to participate in "Infernal Affairs".

There is no surprise for Kei Fujiwara. Judging from the current situation, it is reasonable to be chosen. Now Kei Fujiwara is an invincible sharp knife in both the broadcasting industry and the film industry. Wherever he passes, whether it is capital or artists, everything is easily solved. Kei Fujiwara has never experienced the feeling of being rejected, unless the management doesn't want to make money and the artist doesn't want to be famous.

This is completely opposite to the situation faced by Kei Fujiwara three years ago. I still remember that at that time, not being firmly chosen by artists and capital was a big problem. He was often left behind, but this situation finally changed after the release of "Naoki Hansawa".

Not long after Ken Nagasawa announced that he would join the cast of "Infernal Affairs", news was published in the newspapers. The producer who had originally reached an agreement with Ken Nagasawa publicly expressed his dissatisfaction.

"The audience who are looking forward to Nagasawa-kun's cooperation with us, I am afraid that you will be disappointed. Nagasawa-kun seems not to be optimistic about our new director. Even though he expressed his appreciation for our script before, it does not prevent him from not long ago Unilaterally reneging on our previous verbal agreement.”

"Nagasawa-kun seems to be more optimistic about Mr. Fujiwara's new movie. We also express our understanding. At the same time, we regret that Nagasawa-kun's choice is only based on fame and not the quality of the script and story."

The producer of the movie "The Killer" said in a media interview.

Media reporters smelled the scent of high-value news again, and the dispute began, so they deliberately led the topic to Kei Fujiwara.

The reporter said: "Teacher Fujiwara's new work has now started shooting intensively, and the work he supervised and directed will also start shooting in the near future. According to the estimated release time of the "Infernal Affairs" crew, it seems that "Infernal Affairs" and "The Killer in Black Dress" will The movie's release time is very close, is this intentional?"

"No." The other party shook his head.

"Then will "The Killer in Black Dress" deliberately avoid the schedule of "Infernal Affairs"?"

"Avoiding on purpose? Are you kidding? Of course not." The other party said, "I have been in this industry for decades and have encountered many difficult opponents, but even the most prosperous ones in Hollywood or Hong Kong movies I have never escaped from it, let alone now."

The producer of "Black Dress Killer" said: "I am also looking forward to Mr. Fujiwara's work, but I am also looking forward to what kind of evaluation the two films will receive after they are reviewed by audiences and critics at the same time. I really Am looking forward to."

"Fujiwara-sensei has an undefeated record in the broadcasting industry. His recently filmed debut film "Confession" also won the championship of the year. Are you worried that if two films are broadcast at the same time, it will affect you? box office performance of the works."

In fact, this reporter was a little impatient, and his words were a little unpleasant, as if he was telling the other party that your competitor is leaving. Are you afraid?

If it were a stingy filmmaker, he might have gone crazy on the spot, and might even have compared the reporter's question to "asking a newborn when he will die." But the producer was still quite generous and smiled and said: "Teacher Fujiwara is a very capable person. He is a genius. This is also a recognized fact in the industry. However... there is more than one genius, and our new The film’s director and screenwriter are also talented people.”

"Yamazaki-kun is also a very talented person, and I can responsibly tell you that his actual talent far exceeds his fame. Yamazaki-kun and Fujiwara-sensei have very similar life experiences. They are both writers. They are all filmmakers. But I can tell you one thing. Not long ago, the sales of Yamazaki-kun's new book surpassed Mr. Fujiwara's masterpiece "The White Tower". Of course, "The White Tower" is a good book, but Yamazaki Now that you are a newcomer, you are even more unstoppable."

The producer said very bluntly, and the reporter nodded repeatedly. This is exactly the kind of interview they like. You don't have to be polite, let out all the cruel words, the words must be arrogant enough, and the contradictions must be intense enough, so that there will be enough gimmicks!

Although Naoki Yamazaki is talented and has a high degree of attention, his personality is very similar to that of Kei Fujiwara, and his performance in front of the media and the camera is relatively low-key, and he will not make such arrogant remarks.

A good interviewee like a reporter is like a producer.

As for what the producer said about Yamazaki Naoki and Fujiwara Kei being very similar, it is indeed true. Both are authors and both have entered the film industry. It's just that the order is different. Yamazaki Naoki had made a movie, but because he couldn't get sponsorship, he wrote a book.

Unexpectedly, the novel became a hit and won the Ranpo Prize, attracting attention and the film attracted many investors, so he planned to return to his beloved film career.

He is both a writer and a filmmaker, and they are not much different in age. Because of these similarities, the media and viewers began to like to compare the two together.

Now, in the field of public opinion, there is a gradual trend of praising Yamazaki and disparaging Fujiwara.

This seems counterintuitive - because as time goes by, Kei Fujiwara's achievements have become more and more profound, and one movie and three TV series in 1997 have demonstrated his power. His status is already solid, far beyond what Naoki Yamazaki can compare to.

Yamazaki Naoki is indeed the most watched newcomer at the moment, but the honors he has received now were all won by Kei Fujiwara back then. For example, Ranpo and Kei Fujiwara have the more valuable Naoki Award. And he was younger when he won the award.

But although it is counter-intuitive, it is very consistent with human nature. Because familiarity increases contempt, as Kei Fujiwara's reputation as a genius becomes increasingly famous, some people will always have rebellious thoughts: "Is he really a genius?", "I feel that these achievements are nothing special", and "There are no heroes."

And when another person with a reputation as a genius, but not so famous appeared, some people who were already unhappy with Kei Fujiwara used Yamazaki Naoki as a weapon to attack Kei Fujiwara.

"This is the real genius. The intention of his works is much deeper than Kei Fujiwara's!"

"If he and Kei Fujiwara debuted at the same time, Kei Fujiwara wouldn't be famous at all!"

"When it comes to works, I feel Naoki Yamazaki is better, hahaha. Of course, this is just my personal opinion."

However, Yamazaki Naoki is not as famous as Fujiwara Kei now, and talking about a person who is not particularly famous and saying that his talent is better than someone who is very famous is an enduring statement. To a certain extent, the topic of conversation also seems more stylish, and it can also be regarded as a means of showing off...
