Tokyo Literary Godfather

"Mr. Xiaolin, long time no see."

"Fujiwara-kun..."

Kobayashi Xiuzou looked at the high-spirited man in front of him, feeling mixed feelings for a moment.

I thought that I was just a rookie who just entered the workplace, but I didn't expect that in the blink of an eye, I would become a very important person.

just one year...

Kobayashi Xiuzou looked at the young man in front of him, and felt a little emotional. Compared with this man in front of him, what is his life like?

But he won't be beaten to the ground by Kei Fujiwara. At this age, even if there is no change in bank deposits, his self-cultivation will always increase a bit. I have also seen many talented young people in these years. If I feel depressed for a long time every time I see a genius, I probably won't live until now.

It's just that it's the first time I've seen someone as powerful as Kei Fujiwara.

Fujiwara Kei reached out his hand and shook Kobayashi Shuzo, "How is your health? Can you still bear the heavy shooting task?"

Kobayashi Xiuzou was a little dazed, but then his eyes became affirmative: "Of course, I still want to postpone my retirement."

"Mr. Xiaolin, you look like a person now..."

"who?"

"Me a year ago." Kei Fujiwara smiled.

Kobayashi Xiuzao was taken aback for a moment, and then he laughed loudly: "Haha, that's right. In this way, we are also friends in trouble. Please take care of us in the future."

Now he dare not treat Fujiwara Kei as a junior, but a trustworthy boss, so he respects him a lot in words.

Kei Fujiwara subconsciously wanted to say that there is no need to say honorifics to himself so politely, but when the words came to his lips, he seemed to think of something, so he swallowed it, and he accepted Kobayashi Shuzo's respect for himself.

Yui Mizuhara introduced Shuzo Kobayashi to other members of the team, and even bluntly said, "Mr. Kobayashi is the mentor of Mr. Fujiwara and me." This is not wrong, and Kei Fujiwara nodded in agreement.

The people in the team understood after hearing this. This is a related household, not an ordinary employee, so they should be more respectful.

However, Xiuzo Kobayashi did not put on any pretense of being a teacher, but kept his attitude very low, and went directly to the crew of "Human Observation" to work as an executive director for several days.

Mizuhara Yui was a little embarrassed, but Kobayashi Shuzo said: "It's okay, if you have nothing to do, you will become unfamiliar. At my age, as long as I don't work for a day, I will not be far from retirement. By the way, Suwon, recently you Are you planning a new show with Fujiwara-san?”

"Not yet. Our creative model is based on Fujiwara's script. The script and plan have not come out, and we will not start a new program for the time being."

Xiaolin Shuzao nodded. Since a new team has arrived, of course they must follow their own pace.

"As for the new show, you can shoot it and just use it as a practice." At this moment, Kei Fujiwara came over.

Mizuhara Yui said in surprise: "Fujiwara, do you have a new plan?"

"Not yet, but I can write it in the next two days." Kei Fujiwara said, "Suwon, there is a lack of integration between the new team members and their standards are unstable, so if these people want to take over the Yuejiu drama, they must practice first. I I think it’s better to start with low-cost late-night dramas.”

"A late-night show?" Yui Mizuhara didn't expect that Kei Fujiwara, who had already made a nationally popular drama, would return to the cold battlefield of late-night dramas.

"Yes." Fujiwara Kei said, "I will give you the specific plan and the script of the first episode tomorrow, so you can prepare as soon as possible."

"Okay, it seems you already have a draft." Mizuhara Yui said, "By the way, what is the name of this drama? Well... what is the main tone of the content?"

When talking about late-night dramas, Mizuhara Yui instinctively imagined images of plasma, dead water, plump-breasted witches and young nurses, as well as smooth thighs and looming fat breasts.

"This drama is called 'The Lonely Gourmet'." Kei Fujiwara said, "The tone is more everyday and relaxed. In terms of scale, it is more child-oriented than child-oriented."

"'The Lonely Gourmet'?" Yui Mizuhara thought for a while, "Is it a food drama?"

Fujiwara Kei nodded, then turned to look at Kobayashi Shuzo: "Mr. Kobayashi, you will be the director of this drama. Can you watch it?"

Before becoming a producer, Kobayashi was a director. He had filmed morning dramas and night dramas, and his results were quite satisfactory. Later, as he became more senior, he transitioned into a producer, but he retained his director's style for a period of time when he was a producer, often interfering in the director's creation.

In fact, in a crew, usually the producer has the greatest power and can decide the final film. If there are serious differences between the director and the producer, the producer will even deprive the director of the editing rights and decide the content of the film himself.

Therefore, allowing Kobayashi Shuzo to return to directing can be regarded as allowing him to return to his old profession.

Xiaolin Xiuzou nodded, "Okay, no problem. Is it supervision or..."

"It's the general supervisor." Fujiwara Kei said.

Kobayashi Shuzo nodded solemnly: "Fujiwara-san, I will never let you down."

"Mr. Kobayashi, we have a pleasant cooperation." Fujiwara Kei smiled and extended his hand.

Kobayashi Shuzo also quickly reached out his hand and shook Fujiwara Kei's hand: "It's a pleasure to cooperate."

The next day, Kei Fujiwara handed over the plan for "The Lonely Gourmet" and the scripts for the first three episodes to Yui Mizuhara.

The script of "The Lonely Gourmet" was very easy to write. Kei Fujiwara wrote three episodes in one go, which only took one hour.

After Mizuhara Yui read the script, she didn't know what to say and secretly looked at Kei Fujiwara with her eyes.

This guy... his style changes are too exaggerated.

Originally, "White Night Journey" and "Long Vacation" are two completely different things, and the style of "The Lonely Gourmet" is even more different.

There is almost no special plot. The general content is an uncle looking for restaurants to eat. Mizuhara Yui originally thought that this drama would be similar to the food dramas that have appeared before. The protagonist aspires to become the number one chef in Japan, participates in various food competitions, and finally wins the championship...

In the end, I didn't expect that it was really just an ordinary uncle looking for something to eat. There was no ups and downs in the plot, and the plot was as bland as water.

Originally, few people watch late-night dramas. Will anyone watch such a drama?

Fujiwara Kei noticed Mizuhara Yui's hesitant expression and almost guessed the other party's doubts, but he didn't say anything.

There seems to be no such drama in Japan in this world that focuses on the temptation of food, but there are quite a few dramas about beauty and temptation.

But in fact, the deepest desire in human beings is not only beauty, but also food and sex. Appetite comes before lust.

I think before time travel, "A Bite of China" was sweeping the entire land of China in China, and I don't know how many lonely souls were hurt in the middle of the night.

"The Lonely Gourmet" also has national status in Japan. Although it has not achieved any record-breaking results, since the first season in 2012, it has been filming sequels continuously, and ten seasons have been filmed before Kei Fujiwara crossed over.

The performance in late-night dramas has always been quite good, and even surpassed the Japanese Spring Festival Gala on New Year's Eve, and it is also very popular in overseas markets.

Just use it to train the new team and stimulate the Japanese spiritual taste buds.
