Tokyo Literary Godfather

"Every teacher has worked hard."

After the recording, Kiko Araki walked up to the creative team members with her manager, bent down and said.

"Anthropological Observation" has been broadcast for four issues so far.

As expected by Kei Fujiwara, the show's ratings fell back in the third episode, but not by much, and then rose back up in the fourth episode.

The overall ratings trend is very gratifying.

The members of the creative team are naturally very happy. The show is in such good shape. Not only will the performance bonuses in the station become more generous than in previous years, but they will also add something nice to their resume: they have produced late-night programs with excellent ratings.

In addition to the main creative team, there are also a number of guest artists who benefit.

These guest artists are not directly involved in the main content of the program. Their main task is to "act as the audience." That is, small window guests, and give real-time reactions based on the program content.

For example, if something unexpected happens in a variety show, the guests should make a surprised expression; if a funny scene appears, the guests should also laugh along with it.

Such small windows are usually opened in the upper left corner or lower right corner. Of course, some variety shows are more crazy. In order to meet the appearance requirements of all guests, a window is opened directly in the four corners of the screen, and four big faces are placed in the four corners of the TV screen. , very annoying.

Therefore, Fujiwara Kei made requirements for the program. Normally, only one window is allowed to appear on the screen, and no more than two windows are allowed to appear on the screen, so as not to disturb the audience's attention and offend people.

The three-person comedian group "Golden Apple" was invited to be guests on the show. Their on-the-spot reactions were quick and they would often come up with some wise words, which were also edited into the feature film by the main creative team, winning the love of the audience.

Therefore, since the broadcast of "Anthropological Observation", the audience of their offline theaters has begun to increase significantly. The "Golden Apple" trio are very happy and very grateful to Kei Fujiwara and others.

Of course, the most beloved among the guests is Kiko Araki. She has gained a large number of fans because of her sweet and cute appearance and silly persona. She always says "Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee" in the small window reaction, and is also loved by the audience. It is called "Hey Sauce" jokingly or affectionately.

Kiko Araki is an actor by profession. As her popularity increases, it must have become easier to get film contracts. Therefore, after being prompted by my manager, I came here to express my gratitude to the program crew. It is very important to know what happens when you are in the industry.

"I recently traveled to Izumo Grand Shrine. This is the guardian I asked for at the shrine. Teachers, please accept it for good luck."

With that said, Araki Kiko opened a small box, which contained amulets of various colors, a bit like a lucky bag. The four characters "Peace Guard" are written on the outside, and the pieces of paper or wooden boards containing the gods are placed inside.

Amulets are also talismans. According to the cultural customs of Japanese Shintoism, they have the effect of warding off evil spirits and relieving bad luck.

There are many types of guardians. In addition to the most common security guardians, there are also marriage guardians, traffic safety guardians, travel safety guardians, exam passing guardians, competition victory guardians, and the party you support can be successfully elected. Shou, go to a custom shop without being discovered by your wife. Shou (nonsense)...

"Wow, it's so beautiful. Thank you, Ms. Araki!" Mizuhara Yui looked surprised, picked one out of the box, and put it in her bag.

"This is exquisite... but have you watched Changhong Yushou?" Hasegawa Hide said with a smile.

Fujiwara Kei also randomly picked one and stuffed it into his backpack. Although he didn't really believe in this thing, since traveling through time, he has developed a sense of awe for some strange and chaotic things, and quickly changed from an atheist to a pantheist.

"Everyone has been working hard during this period. Let's have a dinner together as a creative team in the evening. Do you have any good places to recommend?" Mizuhara Yui said.

"Great, is it a celebration banquet?"

Mizuhara Yui smiled: "It's not time to celebrate yet... Well, let's just think of it as being held in advance."

Araki Kiko stood aside without speaking, her hands quietly placed on her thighs, looking very peaceful and well-behaved.

After some discussion, everyone finally decided to go to a Chinese restaurant near Xiledan. The food was good and the price per person was within the budget.

In the evening, the entire creative team plus the artists marched toward Xile Ding and arrived at the restaurant.

The restaurant waiter led everyone to the reserved private room. The group of people were talking and laughing. At this moment, a group of people walked towards them. The two groups of people were stunned at the same time when they saw each other.

"Miss Suwon." The leader, a man in his thirties, greeted, "What a coincidence, are you also here for the celebration banquet?"

Miss Mizuhara bowed slightly and said, "Mr. Takada, long time no see."

"I heard that your new program received good ratings. Congratulations. I often say that Miss Suwon is a talented person in front of Mr. Lin."

The person who came was named Takada Kenji, who was also a producer, but he was from the headquarters of Fukuyamadai Production Bureau.

Facing the staff of the subsidiary Mizunami Production, members of the production bureau headquarters naturally have a psychological advantage. When Sasaki Takagi and others saw Takada Kenji and his entourage, they lowered their heads subconsciously.

"This is not due to me alone. All members of the creative team have put in a lot of effort for the show."

"So, I must have done my part." Kenji Takada said with a smile, "After all, the reason why the premiere trailer of "You" was aired during prime time was because when Special Agent Lin asked me for my opinion, I nodded."

"Yes, thank you very much, and thanks to you." Mizuhara Yui said with a smile.

Kenji Takada looked around at everyone, his eyes lingered on Kiko Araki's face for a long time, and he said with a smile: "You are Miss Araki, right? I have seen your works before, and you are a newcomer with great potential."

"Ah, thank you very much." Kiko Araki quickly replied, "I will continue to work hard."

"Haha, but since you are an actor, you have to take time to polish your acting skills. If you are always doing wipe performances in variety shows, your acting skills will not improve."

Kiko Araki was startled, and looked at Kiko Mizuhara and others. She didn't know what to say. It was neither smiling nor not smiling.

Yui Mizuhara still smiled at each other.

Takada Kenji didn't seem to pay attention to Mizuhara Kiko and her group at all. He smiled and patted Mizuhara Yui on the shoulder and said, "If you have time later, come to our private room for a drink."

After speaking, he walked away a little shaky.

After Takada Kenji left, the group came to their private room. Everyone sat down. Mizuhara Kiko found that the air pressure seemed to be a little low, so she said to everyone: "Don't worry about it, that guy Takada just has a bad habit of talking nonsense. Wait for us. When the team gets prime time programming rights in the future, I believe he will learn to be polite."

Hasegawa Hide complained a few words, and everyone tacitly said bad things about Takada Kenji and stopped mentioning him, which was considered to be showing the spirit of Ah Q.

After ordering, Chinese dishes were served one after another. Mizuhara Yui said to Fujiwara Kei: "I remember you told me before that you like to eat Chinese food?"

Kei Fujiwara did mention it to Yui Mizuhara before and nodded.

"I heard the Chinese food here is pretty good, what do you think?"

The waiter served each person a small cup of soup. Fujiwara Kei opened the lid. The soup was very clear, with only scattered oil floating on it, and a delicious smell hit his nose.

Fujiwara Kei scooped some with a porcelain spoon and sipped it in his mouth, his eyes slightly opened: "It tastes good."

Mizuhara Yui said proudly: "Right, I heard that the boss is Chinese. Because you said you like to eat Chinese food, I came here specifically."

At this moment, there was a knock on the door, and a woman wearing glasses poked her head in.

"Well... I am Mr. Takada's personal assistant. Mr. Takada would like to invite Miss Mizuhara and Miss Araki to have a drink. Is it convenient?"
