Tokyo Literary Godfather

Naturally, Kei Fujiwara clearly felt Chai Chiling's dissatisfaction as soon as they met. Perhaps he felt that the plot was too immature, or perhaps it was for some other reason. It may also be that he was dissatisfied with the previous "overlord contract" and wanted to fight for it again.

After realizing this, Kei Fujiwara quickly activated the negotiation system in his mind and began to suppress the past in reverse.

Kei Fujiwara has never studied an MBA (although Yoshida Kashi has always suggested that he should study it, as if it were gold-plated), but this kind of negotiation method was something he had before time travel. He was a producer in his previous life, and the crew has never been a safe place. Without mastering some psychological skills and rhetoric, it would be difficult to successfully overcome various obstacles at work.

Therefore, Kei Fujiwara decided to suppress the opponent first.

You guys, how dare you think my script is bad? I want to give you the script of Game of Thrones, but you have to recognize the reality, okay? With your meager production budget, the most you can do is to shoot the part of Mawang and Dragon Mother...

Chai Zhiling was indeed choked by Fujiwara Kei and was speechless for a moment, but after thinking about it, she felt that what the other party said was reasonable. Indeed, if Fujiwara Kei came up with a script that described a lot of big scenes, she would feel embarrassed.

But even so, it shouldn’t be...

Chai Zhiling opened her mouth, organized her words in her mind, and wanted to say something more.

At this time, Fujiwara Kei said: "Ms. Chai, has Okada told you about the next stage of Mizunami Production's plan? We plan to expand the overseas market of Japanese dramas, develop the audience of Japanese dramas in Southeast Asia and mainland China, and let more people love it. Come on our show."

"The cooperation with China Television will be the first step in our overseas plan. Although it is experimental, I still attach great importance to the cooperation between our two parties, so please believe me, this script is based on my measurement based on the local situation in Taiwan. Tailor-made, there is absolutely no perfunctory intention. Mainland China will be our most important market in the future, and Taiwan will be our most important springboard. We also hope that the drama "Boys Over Flowers" will not only be popular in Taiwan It can also create a popular phenomenon in mainland China by achieving excellent ratings in China."

This was a high-sounding statement, but Chai Zhiling couldn't completely believe it. As for what Kei Fujiwara said about "tailoring it according to the local conditions in Taiwan," it was even more ridiculous. You are a Japanese, do you understand Chinese culture? Do you know the local customs in Taiwan? People who can't even speak Chinese are talking about "tailor-made according to local culture".

Chai Zhiling smiled bitterly and decided to speak more straightforwardly, "Teacher Fujiwara, the reason why I insist on cooperating with you is because of your excellent previous works and your extraordinary grasp of the market. If you just want to make a close-to-the-ground film, For local works, I might as well go directly to the screenwriters from Taiwan..."

"This is exactly the script I wrote after speculating on the market." Kei Fujiwara said. He poured himself a cup of tea and scratched his temples. Suddenly something occurred to him and he changed his tone instantly: "Let's communicate like this next. gone."

Fujiwara Kei instantly switched to Chinese and said.

When Chai Zhiling heard a fluent Chinese sentence, which was still standard Mandarin, she raised her head and looked at Kei Fujiwara in disbelief, and then subconsciously lowered her head to look for something - she thought there was a real-time translation machine or something else on the table.

However, nothing was found, and it was only then that she was sure that the Chinese she had just heard was indeed from Kei Fujiwara.

"Mr. Fujiwara... speaks Chinese well." Chai Zhiling also spoke Chinese, slowing down, tentatively. She wasn't sure if Kei Fujiwara could only say that.

Kei Fujiwara smiled and said, "Miss Chai also speaks Japanese very well, but since this drama is about to be broadcast on Taiwan Island, let's communicate in Chinese."

"Mr. Fujiwara...is he actually Chinese?" Chai Zhiling asked with wide-eyed eyes, with a hint of excitement in her tone.

Dominating Japanese entertainment, the strongest young generation known as the new godfather of the entertainment industry, is also Chinese? Otherwise, how could he speak Mandarin so fluently, which is indistinguishable from the locals? This pure accent is difficult to achieve by learning alone.

"I lived in China when I was young, and later participated in a group that studied Chinese culture when I was in college. I visited the mainland many times, so I can speak Chinese fairly well." Kei Fujiwara said with a smile.

Although I wanted to admit it, after all, I was born and raised in Japan, and so were my parents. In order to avoid unnecessary trouble, they ultimately did not admit it.

But I still made up an experience for myself.

Chai Zhiling was a little disappointed, but at the same time she instantly believed what Kei Fujiwara said just now. He didn't just say it casually. It is impossible for a person who is so proficient in Chinese to not understand the local culture.

She lowered her head and looked at the script in her hand: "President Fujiwara, do you really think... this script will be welcomed by the local audience in Taiwan? I'm sorry that I have such doubts, because it is true that you, President Fujiwara, have discussed this before There is a big difference in the works.”

"There is indeed a difference, because the TV drama markets in Japan and Taiwan are different. Japan's trend dramas started in the 1980s, and now more than ten years have passed, and they have developed very maturely. Moreover, the popularity of local audiences in Japan Tastes have also been formed, and even the tastes of some viewers have become high-end. Therefore, in Japan’s trendy dramas with high ratings, you will see humanistic care, lines full of life philosophy, and artistic images and music. Many creators treat dramas as works of art. But for Taiwan now, there is no such necessity..."

Kei Fujiwara paused and continued: "How should I put it? Today's idol dramas in Taiwan are still in the [sinking market]."

"Sinking market?" Chai Zhiling didn't understand the meaning of the word, so she repeated it in a rhetorical tone.

"It is an untapped market where customers can easily be satisfied." Kei Fujiwara said, "As far as I know, although there have been plots similar to trend dramas in Taiwan, [trend dramas] are also new in Taiwan. Vocabulary is not considered a formal type of drama. Many idol drama routines that have been used badly in Japan and South Korea and that the audience has become bored with are still new in Taiwan. In this case, use the most original means to impress Taiwan As long as it appeals to the Japanese audience, the trick is not new, just easy to use."

Fujiwara Kei clasped the script with his fingers, "Although the setting in this story seems illogical, even old-fashioned and vulgar, it is full of obscenity for the wealthy class. But who cares? The audience? How can ordinary audiences possibly Will they understand what the real life of rich people is like? This caters to their imagination. They may even really think that there is a school in this world that brings together the children of most of the rich people in the world. Otherwise, how can they I have never seen a handsome and rich boy like Dao Mingsi around me?"
