Tokyo Literary Godfather

"How was the recent filming? Is it going well?"

In a tavern, Fujiwara Kei and Kobayashi Shuzo were chatting while eating.

Shuzo Kobayashi took out the storyboard script he had written and communicated with Kei Fujiwara. Fujiwara Kei looked at Kobayashi Shuzo's storyboard script, imagined the finished product, and said, "Mr. Kobayashi, I think there is nothing wrong with it."

"Well...that's good..."

Kobayashi Shuzo takes his current work extremely seriously and cautiously, because this "Homeless Child" is expected to become the best work of his creative career.

"Are there any difficulties during filming recently? Are there any actors who don't listen to the instructions?" Kei Fujiwara poured wine for Kobayashi Osamu, but was quickly stopped by the other party.

Kobayashi Shuzo took the jug and poured sake into Fujiwara Kei's and his own glasses. "That's not true. The actors are very cooperative with the filming and have a very good work attitude. They rarely arrive late or leave early."

There is also a game relationship between the crew and the actors. If a popular actor joins a small crew, sometimes it does happen that one actor makes the entire crew angry.

In this case, the crew will choose to swallow their anger in order to increase the popularity of the actors and attract more fans.

Although Japanese artists are subject to many social constraints, it is really not like what is spread on the mainland in later generations on the Internet. Everyone is a model of artistic ethics, and artists with various bad ethics are also common.

However, the crew of "Homeless Children" is also a strong crew, with no shortage of money and excellent past works. Every actor who works with them takes advantage, so no matter how hot-tempered the artist is, he must restrain himself after joining the cast.

When "Homeless Child" first aired, the actress who originally played the aunt often went to liquor stores and did not pay attention to rest and maintenance. Every time she appeared on camera, her face was swollen.

Kobayashi Shuzo had no choice but to film other people's scenes first, and talked to her several times, but the other party was just perfunctory, and even went too far the next day. Not only did his face look tired, but his eyes were red and bloodshot. As he spoke, his mouth still smelled of alcohol from a hangover.

Kobayashi Shuzo had no choice but to tell Mizuhara Yui about this. Mizuhara Yui didn't waste any words. She directly approached the other party's agent and asked to terminate the contract. Liquidated damages could be paid, but she would never work with the actor again in the future.

The manager was extremely anxious. He didn't want his artist to leave a bad reputation in the broadcasting industry, so he took his artist and apologized to Mizuhara Yui and promised to have a good filming in the future.

Mizuhara Yui didn't pay the bill, so she probably wanted to scare the monkeys, so as to avoid more things happening in the future. If this matter was dropped lightly, it would not be able to deter others who came after him, so he drove the actor out of the crew with a strong attitude.

The agent had no choice but to immediately say that he would not charge liquidated damages, but he hoped that the incident would not cause a big fuss and would not affect the actor's reputation in the industry.

Mizuhara Yui agreed. After the actor left, a new actor was found the next day, and all the scenes with the previous actor were reshot.

This incident did have some deterrent effect. The phenomenon of lateness that was frequent before almost disappeared after that.

"Fujiwara-san, Morimata's kid seems to be in bad shape lately." Kobayashi Shuzo thought of something at this time and suddenly said.

"What's wrong?" Kei Fujiwara was a little surprised. In his impression, Morita Inoue was not only good at acting, but also had a very correct attitude towards work. Although he was acting while going to school, he was never late or left early, and he was not vague about reciting his lines. Even more than many adult actors.

He was not surprised that anyone in the crew had problems, but it was a bit unbelievable that Inoue Mori had trouble again.

"Have you reached puberty? Are you not very cooperative lately?"

"That's not..." Xiaolin Xiuzou said, "The kid is still working hard and cooperating with the crew's arrangements, but he seems to be in a very low mood recently. Although he tried his best to perform, it can be seen that his emotional state is not good. Compared with My acting performance was a bit worse before.”

Emotional issues... This seems a bit helpless. If it is an attitude problem, you can force the actor to correct his attitude by scolding; if it is an ability problem, you can improve the actor's ability through training.

Only emotional problems seem to have no targeted solutions.

"After all, she is a child, and this is also the first time she has played a leading role. With such a heavy workload, I am afraid she is tired... But because she is sensible, she never speaks out about any grievances and pressures she experiences. Over time, her mood may have been affected. Fujiwara Kei said, "How about giving her a holiday? Let her go out and relax properly. Now that there are enough films on hand, the pace does not need to be so tense. Let the actors and staff relax properly, which can ensure the shooting state." "

Xiaolin Shuzao nodded: "Okay, after the scenes in the past two days are over, I will give her a holiday."

The next day, Kei Fujiwara was writing a script in the office. The female employee who came into the mailroom brought today's newspapers and letters to him.

After the female staff member put the letter on her desk, she intentionally stood next to Kei Fujiwara for a while to see what Kei Fujiwara was writing. She pulled her hair around her ears and asked, "Is Mr. Fujiwara writing a new work? "

"Um."

"I've been reading "The Detective Mitarai Collection" recently. It's really a wonderful work. I wonder when the stand-alone book will be released?"

Fujiwara Kei scratched his face: "It should be soon. After the latest chapter is written, a new book will be published."

The female staff member opened her mouth and wanted to talk about something else, but after standing there for more than ten seconds she couldn't find a new topic, so she had to leave in frustration.

Kei Fujiwara has now become the most popular person in the company. He is young, handsome, rich, and unmarried. If three of the four conditions are met, he is very popular, but Kei Fujiwara has all of them.

So now even the job of delivering letters to this young screenwriter has become a fat job...

I don’t know what kind of girls this screenwriter likes... The female staff member walked out of the office and thought to herself in distress.

Kei Fujiwara is writing the latest issue of "The Clock Museum Incident". This new chapter is still receiving rave reviews, ranking first in both issues in the statistical ranking of readership.

The audience is also looking forward to the final reveal of the conspiracy, and some book reviewers who have always liked to denigrate Sima Keita's conspiracy ability have also restrained themselves a lot after "Astrology Killing Magic" caused a sensation in the mystery circle.

This guy Sima Guitai has found his rhythm in this book, and it looks like it will be another excellent book. I won’t talk about this book for now, but let’s talk about the next one!

After writing a chapter, Kei Fujiwara stretched himself, stood in front of the blinds, and looked into the distance for a while.

Then pick up today's newspaper.

The entertainment section of the "Sankei Daily" still spared no effort to praise "The Homeless Child", praising it for its touching and exciting plot, and that everyone from the screenwriter to the actors contributed to the high level of creation... It is my own newspaper, It doesn't matter if you praise it in a disgusting way.

There is almost no news about the drama "Homeless Children" in other newspapers. Of course, other newspapers cannot give you free publicity when you are still in the early stages of broadcasting.

But that's good news, because if Homeless Kids is a bad show, they're not afraid of wasting space on an article criticizing you.

After reading the entertainment section of the newspaper, Kei Fujiwara glanced at the current news twice. Fighting is raging in the broadcasting world, and the political world is in chaos. The current Prime Minister was exposed in a corruption scandal. The bribe-receiver was naturally the Prime Minister and his loyal staff, and the bribe-giver was the Pachinko Guild.

Pachinko, also known as Pachinko, is the largest gambling industry in Japan. Japan is a country that officially prohibits gambling, but pachinko, as an industry that combines gambling and games, is blooming all over Japan.

Practitioners of Pachinko play around with edges and exploit legal loopholes to prevent the Pachinko industry from being classified as a gambling industry. However, these alone are not enough. The Pachinko guild has been bribing political figures and even the royal family for ten years. All received bribes from them.

Major newspapers were reprinting this corruption scandal. After Kei Fujiwara saw the news, he was stunned for a while and put down the newspaper.

The Pachinko case... in the parallel world was a case that took place in the 1980s and early 1990s. It was also a sensational political scandal at the time.

I didn't expect it to happen in this world, but the timeline was delayed a bit.

Kei Fujiwara suddenly became worried. If that were the case, would the Great Hanshin Earthquake and Sarin Gas Case also appear in this world? Is it just that the time will be delayed?
