Tokyo Literary Godfather

"Hello, do you have any advice?"

The visitor looked around, "It's not convenient to talk here, why don't we find a place to sit down."

"Sorry." Fujiwara Kei opened the door with the key, "I have something to do later, I really don't have time."

Seeing Kei Fujiwara's refusal, the man had no choice but to make a long story short: "Ms. Sima... oh no, Mr. Fujiwara, I mainly want to invite you to join us on behalf of Fanxing TV. I hope you can be our screenwriter."

Kei Fujiwara looked at him and raised his eyebrows slightly: "You should know that I am just a novel author, and I have no experience in script writing."

"I know, but we believe that since you can create a work like "White Night Journey", you can also create a moving script, so I hope you can join us, and you will not be treated badly in terms of treatment. And as far as I know , you signed a short-term contract with Fukuyama, so I hope you can think about it carefully."

After that, he bowed again.

Fujiwara Kei stretched out his hand and said, "I see, I will call you if I am interested."

After that, he opened the door and got in the car.

Within a few days, many people contacted Fujiwara Kei, most of whom were from production companies and the five major television production bureaus. There were invitations to film programs, and there were also offers to purchase the film and television adaptation rights of "White Night Journey" and commission script writing.

After receiving the Naoki Award, Kei Fujiwara seems to have a stronger trump card.

Fujiwara Kei now has a pile of personnel contact information of other TV stations and production companies. If he wants to change jobs, it is simply a matter of seizing the day and night. But he still waited patiently for an extra day or two, hoping to get a reply from Fukuyama TV. After all, Fukuyama TV has Mizuhara Yui and his familiar filming team.

After people from all parties came to find Kei Fujiwara, Fukuyamadai's response was not quick, but it was not too slow either. Finally, one morning, a staff member from the main station came to find Kei Fujiwara.

After meeting Kei Fujiwara, the staff member seemed very respectful. Although he looked a bit older than Kei Fujiwara, he did not dare to put on the airs of his senior. After all, the man in front of him was a fierce man who had won the Naoki Prize just after leaving school and could bargain with Taili. He didn't dare to mess with him.

"Teacher Fujiwara, please come with me..."

It is estimated that those old men have already discussed it... Kei Fujiwara said in his heart, stood up, and said, "Okay, but I have to let the Owada manager wait a while, I have to submit this plan to Ms. Mizuhara first."

"Okay, but..." the visitor said, "The person who is looking for you is not Special Agent Owada, but Director Yoshida."

Fujiwara Kei narrowed his eyes, "Okay, I understand."

After handing over the plan to Yui Mizuhara, Kei Fujiwara followed the staff member to the director's office. When he opened the door, he saw Kashi Yoshida sitting at his desk, writing and drawing.

"Director, Mr. Fujiwara is here," the man said.

Yoshida Kashi looked up at Kei Fujiwara, smiled, pointed to the chair and said, "Sit." Then he told the secretary, "Sakamoto-kun, please make a cup of tea."

Yoshida Kafumi is nearly sixty years old. Although he is not tall, he looks very strong. The forearms exposed from the sleeves look thick and strong, and the hair is very black and thick, giving people a feeling of vitality.

"Fujiwara-kun, good to see you." Yoshida Kaishi smiled, "I heard that you won the Naoki Prize. Congratulations."

"It's just luck."

"Luck is the modesty of the strong." Yoshida Heshi said, "Let me get straight to the point with you. I can give you a screenwriting contract like this, only signing the work, not the person. But within the contract period, no Other TV stations or production companies create scripts.”

"The copyright of the script belongs to you, but the copyright of the film and television works belongs to the TV station. Within three years after the first broadcast of the TV series, your script cannot be adapted for secondary film and television. However, the adaptation into paper media products such as novels and comics is not restricted."

"Your salary and performance bonus will be tripled, and the commission will be more than 1%. The higher the ratings, the greater the share. Since the audience base is different in different time periods, the ratings indicators given to you are also different."

"Take the spring Saturday night from 8 to 9 pm as an example. The audience base during this time period is good, so the standards given to you are relatively high. The 12% ratings during this time period are the basis. If you can get 12 to 15 For ratings between 15 and above, your share is 1.5%; if you can get 15 and above, your share is 2%; above 17 and above is 2.5; above 20 and above is 3.5; above 25 and above is 5; above 30 and above..."

This is no longer possible. The average ratings he mentioned, if you can get more than 30, it is a historical level. However, out of rigor, Yoshida Kashi still said: "If you can get more than 30, I will give you 6... No, I’ll give you 7%.”

"The revenue sharing includes advertising commissions and peripheral income. You will have a share of all the money earned by this TV series."

Yoshida Kashi closed the cap of his pen: "I don't like to bargain. This is the best condition I can give. I know that other TV stations should contact you during this period, but I believe that none of them will be better than this contract. More freedom, more wealth..."

"You can think about it for a while, but I can't wait for you too long. I'll give you..."

"How long is the contract term?" Kei Fujiwara asked, "How long will I be unable to write scripts for other companies?"

"Five years."

"It's too long, two years."

Yoshida Kashi looked at Kei Fujiwara and thought for a moment: "Yes. How long do you need to think about it?"

Fujiwara Kei said: "Don't think about it, you can ask the legal counsel to draw up the contract now. But I have to take the contract home and read it before signing it."

Yoshida Kashi was stunned for a moment, he thought Kei Fujiwara would either go back and think about it for a long time after hearing his conditions, or he would go to other production companies to bargain and shop around, but he did not expect to agree so simply.

He's really decisive, he has the temperament to do big things... Yoshida Kasumi thought to himself.

In fact, Kei Fujiwara almost understands the market, and the conditions Yoshida Kashi gave him are indeed very generous in the industry. Although if you use the conditions given by Kashi Yoshida and go to other TV stations to bargain, you may not be able to get a better contract, but the mentality of Long Wangshu is not good, and you will definitely not be able to cooperate with Mizuhara Yui and the others when you enter a new company.

Yoshida Kashi asked his secretary to notify the legal department to take the contract. During this period, he chatted with Kei Fujiwara over tea and asked about what happened at the New Joy Hotel on the day the Naoki Award was presented.

Fujiwara Kei smiled and chatted with Yoshida Kaishi until the Legal Department brought the already drafted contract into the office and handed it to Fujiwara Kei.

Yoshida Kashi stood up and stretched out his hand, "Teacher Fujiwara, I hope you can have a pleasant stay at Fukuyamadai."

"Definitely, thank you, Director Yoshida."

In the evening, after leaving Fukuyamadai, Kei Fujiwara sat in the car and dialed Itagaki Kazuhiko's number directly from the car phone.

"Fujiwara-kun, what's the matter?"

"It's like this... I have a contract, and I would like to ask you to help me find a lawyer who is proficient in copyright to review it for me."

"Well, okay, our company's legal affairs is very...copyright contract? What kind of contract? New work contract?"

"um, yes."

Itagaki Kazuhiko on the other end of the phone was instantly struck by lightning: "Fujiwara-kun, what happened? Are you not going to collaborate with me on your new work?"
