Tokyo Literary Godfather

Kei Fujiwara was invited by a film festival in the United States to participate.

And because of the recent popularity of "Saw" in the United States, many TV stations have also invited him to participate in programs, and Kei Fujiwara plans to select a few to accept the invitations.

He does not intend to copy his successful experience in Tokyo to the United States. First of all, the environment is different. As a Japanese here, it is unlikely that he will enjoy the same respected status as in Japanese society.

Therefore, he does not intend to build any reputation here, as long as he has control of capital, and making US dollars is the main purpose. So he planned to hide himself even deeper.

As long as there is enough cash flow, he can multiply the money indefinitely... After all, he almost understands the development trend in the next twenty years.

The rise of various industries in mainland China, led by real estate, the battle between electricity and hydrogen in the new energy automobile industry, the Internet war, virtual currency, streaming media...

Anything that can be grasped is like finding Smaug's treasure.

After all, Kei Fujiwara wants to complete the transformation from a media person to an investor within ten years.

Kei Fujiwara participated in several relatively influential talk shows, which made him appear in front of the American people, and then he stopped making too much sense of presence.

He met Ruan Minxiong and provided him with more scripts, including "The God of Death" and the "Resident Evil" series, and asked him to choose among his favorite scripts for filming. Kei Fujiwara’s initial plan for DreamWorks is to create multiple series of movie universes.

Because the box office is guaranteed, the results are stable, and the routines can be copied. Especially the "Death is Coming" and "Chain Saw" series, the story models of each one are almost the same.

But don’t even think about the huge worldviews of the Marvel Universe, DC Universe, and Transformers for the time being. First of all, they don’t have the funds and technical capabilities to film for the time being. Secondly, both Marvel and DC rely on comics and have huge reader bases and audiences. A movie's world view is very likely to fail.

As for the Harry Potter series…

Fujiwara Kei suddenly had an idea, wouldn't this mean he would return to his old profession as a literary copywriter?

In terms of commercial success, is there any other novel in the world that can compare with this novel?

Moreover, this magical worldview is different from other huge movie worldviews. That is, other worldview works are all completed by the collective efforts of multiple authors. Only "Harry Potter" was entirely written by one person.

World views will not conflict with each other, and there is no need to invent parallel worlds or quantum mechanics to increase the difficulty of creation in order to integrate conflicts.

If a super heavyweight novel comes along, Kei Fujiwara will have a much easier time in Hollywood.

Just do what you say. During this time, Kei Fujiwara has begun to try to write in English. This is another new journey.

Before leaving Japan, Kei Fujiwara made a special trip to find Otomo Keiichi.

This is the third month since Otomo Keiichi announced his retirement, and I don’t know if he has had a good rest.

Maybe you are really discouraged, or maybe you are just temporarily disappointed and will change your mind soon.

Obviously, Otomo Keiichi is the latter.

When Kei Fujiwara first came to Otomo Kei's family, it was Otomo's wife who received him. After arriving in his study, Kei Otomo saw Kei Fujiwara and pushed the things on the desk, a pile of drafts, with some embarrassment.

Fujiwara Kei walked over and chatted with him, not forgetting to glance at the pile of paper on the desk. It was nothing else, but some storyboards of new works and the script he was drafting.

And it seems that the writing process of Otomo Keiichi's new script is not going well. There are more words crossed out on a piece of paper than written on it. Moreover, the wastepaper basket also contained a lot of scrap paper that had been crumpled into a ball.

It seems that the creation process of the new script is not going smoothly...

Fujiwara Kei smiled and said nothing. It seems that less than three months after his retirement, Otomo Keiichi plans to revive his career and make a comeback. It seems that Oshii'an's judgment about his teacher was not wrong after all...

"President Fujiwara, you don't have to believe too much in Mr. Otomo's words about retirement. He has said this more than once. Many years ago, when he first became an animated film supervisor, he felt that the job was too hard. It was too torturous. At that time, he vowed that he would never be a film supervisor again, but wouldn’t he still do it now?”

"He must have been hit hard, so he said something to vent his frustration, such as retirement. But he didn't expect that a reporter heard this and took it seriously, treating it as a serious matter. The report was published. I also formally interviewed him again and asked him if it was true that he wanted to retire. Teacher Otomo was saving face, so of course he would not admit that he was venting his emotions, so he admitted it directly."

"I probably regret it now... He is not yet 60 this year. At this age, he is in his prime in the directing world. How can he retire?"

…

"Congratulations, President Fujiwara." Otomo Keiichi said with a smile, "The new film is a hit. "Your Name" is indeed a good story."

"I also want to thank you, Director Otomo, for introducing me to Director Oshii. He is indeed suitable to be the director of this film."

"No, no, I'm just recommending it to you. It's up to you whether you choose it or not. I can't take any credit. The main thing is your script, and that guy Oshii really has outstanding talents."

"No, no, horses with thousands of miles of horses are always there, but bole are not always there. You have a sharp eye and can identify talents. Moreover, Mr. Oshii is your student, so your training is indispensable."

"no no……"

The two of them chatted politely and hypocritically for a long time. At this time, Mrs. Otomo brought tea and refreshments. Fujiwara Kei took a sip from the tea cup and suddenly asked: "Has Supervisor Otomo had a rest during this period? When are you planning to come back? Woolen cloth?"

Otomo Keiichi said with some embarrassment: "This, this, or..."

Fujiwara Kei sighed: "If you still want to rest for a while, there is nothing you can do. I know that shooting movies is very hard work. You only rest every three months, and I have to catch you to work again. I am also heartbroken. I can’t bear it, it’s just that I have a script in hand recently, and it seems that besides you, I can’t find any other more suitable candidate to film it... This script matches your style very well.”

Otomo Kei's eyes lit up after hearing this.

Since "Your Name" became a hit, Otomo Keiichi has become completely convinced of Kei Fujiwara. At the same time, he also realizes that it will take some time for him to surpass Kei Fujiwara's appeal in the film market.

At the same time, I also started to covet Fujiwara Kei's script.

Although it is very unscrupulous to be jealous of a disciple and I am ashamed to tell outsiders, I still think that the script of "Your Name" was originally written by Kei Fujiwara to Otomo Keiichi, but Otomo Keiichi rejected it and instead recommended his own disciple to film it. Yes, Otomo Keiichi could not help but feel a little uncomfortable in his heart.

Now, Kei Fujiwara said that he has a new book, and Otomo Kei suddenly became excited.

This opportunity has been missed once, and it must not be missed again!
