Tokyo Literary Godfather

"How's the progress?" Kei Fujiwara walked up to Ono Nagaharu and asked.

Ohno Nagaharu nodded: "I'll shoot some more shots tomorrow, and then I can turn off the phone."

"When will the finished film be cut?" Kei Fujiwara reminded, "The final review time for the Peer Film Festival is three days later. If you miss it, you can only participate in next year's film festival."

"Don't worry, there's still time." Ohno Nagaharu said calmly.

Ohno Nagaharu was unreliable in other matters, but he was still serious about movies. Seeing what he said, Fujiwara Keiya said nothing more.

Ohno Nagaharu's expression also became a little serious, and he was watching the replays over and over again seriously.

Fujiwara Kei looked at Ohno Nagaharu's expression and patted his shoulder, "Don't be too nervous."

"Well..." Ono Nagaharu didn't say anything, but Kei Fujiwara knew that he actually had a certain psychological shadow about the peer film festival.

He has participated in this film festival twice. The first time he did not stir up any splash. The second time he got the opportunity to participate in the exhibition, but was criticized by some special audiences because it was too stream-of-consciousness and the plot was too exaggerated.

The Peer Film Festival special audience, that is, the judges, is the one who finally evaluates the list of award-winning films and decides the ranking of participating films.

The first place will be awarded the Commendation Conference Award, the second will be the Vice-Prize of the Commendation Conference, and the third will be the Special Award of the Judging Committee. The top three will receive cash prizes, which will also attract the attention of major film production companies. They may have the opportunity to participate in international film festivals or be distributed by major companies. After that, there will only be encouragement prizes.

Iwai Tetsuya once won the Encouragement Award, but this was enough for him to gain great attention in the school.

However, a large part of the exhibitors are college students. Being able to win the encouragement award at the peer film festival is enough to make your resume look good.

And the censors invited to the Peer Film Festival are not chosen randomly, they are generally insiders. Writers, directors, producers, art school professors, theater crews, etc., and maybe even film company executives will be in attendance.

Many censors have great influence in the industry. It is possible that one sentence can make a newcomer rise to the top and gain huge attention, or it may be that this person will not be able to participate in movies for the rest of his life.

So even if Ono Changji was shameless, he would still feel a little nervous when he re-entered the place where the halberd fell into the sand.

Today's shooting is also over. Since Kei Fujiwara is here, according to the usual situation, he will definitely treat him. So a group of students began to dawdle, unwilling to leave, sweeping the ground with a broom, and then showed a simple smile at Kei Fujiwara.

Kei Fujiwara said with a smile: "Let's go eat barbecue, I'll treat you."

"yeah!"

A group of people marched towards a nearby barbecue restaurant. The wagyu here was very delicious, but most of these students could not afford it. After all, there were not all rich girls like Nanako Togada in Dongwengei. .

Kyogoku and Mei Sato sat together and whispered. The two young actors were actually about the same age, and they were both in high school. They usually had more topics to talk about when they were together.

"Sato, Kyogoku." Fujiwara Kei looked at the two, "Have you gotten used to it recently?"

Sato Meiyi stood up instantly, "I'm used to it, Mr. Fujiwara, thank you very much Mr. Fujiwara for giving me this opportunity."

Since bringing Arima Guixiang to them, this little idol has respected him a lot...

"Just sit down and talk." Kei Fujiwara waved his hand, "You're still studying, right?"

"Yes."

"Are you planning to go to college?"

Although the overall cultural literacy of Japanese society is relatively high and the illiteracy rate is low, people who have studied in college still account for a minority of the population, about one tenth, and most people have a college or middle school degree.

Mayi Sato shook her head: "I plan to continue to be an idol, hoping to become a person like Ms. Arima soon."

"Where's Kyogoku?" Kei Fujiwara asked, "Are you planning to continue being an artist?"

Kyogoku shook her head: "I probably won't act in the future... I don't have a talent like Sato."

As he spoke, he lowered his head subconsciously.

Fujiwara Kei didn't say anything. Kyogoku is a somewhat introverted child. Logically speaking, this kind of personality seems not suitable for becoming an artist, but nothing is absolute. There are even some actors who don't like to socialize with others in the entertainment industry. Not nothing.

"It's nothing!" Mei Sato suddenly grabbed Kyogoku's hands, "Xiaoxiang, you are very good at acting! You are very suitable to be an actor!"

Kyogoku said nothing, feeling that Sato Mei was just comforting her.

Since she quit the drama club last time, the seniors in the drama club seemed to be targeting her, and they even started jokingly calling her "big star". And it was widely known that she was acting in a movie.

Of course, calling her a big star was also to ridicule her. Some people asked her in front of her: "Do movies also need living props?" Kyogoku was introverted and didn't know how to fight back. She just suppressed her face and said nothing. .

In school, the most important thing to offend are the influential figures on campus. These people have many friends on campus, respond to everyone's wishes, and have endless charisma. If they offend them, they will offend half of the campus.

The senior sister in the drama club is one of these people. She was offended by Kyogoku's words, so she intentionally or unintentionally excluded her. The senior sister has friends from all three grades, and now even her classmates don't pay much attention to her.

Even the classmates who often work and eat with her have begun to alienate her, because they are also afraid of implicating themselves.

Kyogoku's school is a relatively well-known private middle school, so direct bullying does not happen often, but this kind of cold violence and exclusion and isolation cannot be completely eliminated.

Therefore, Kyogoku has been in a very bad mood recently, and has begun to doubt herself. Maybe she really does not have the talent to be an artist. After the filming of this movie is completed, she should give up this idea.

The shutdown ceremony was held the next day. All the pre-production material for the film has been shot, and the post-editing is almost complete, entering the final stage.

On the day of the shutdown ceremony, Kei Fujiwara had another dinner.

But during the dinner, Nanako Togata seemed a little preoccupied.

Shinyo Ogata, who was on the side, saw that his friend seemed to be worried, so he came forward and whispered comfort: "Don't be sad, Nanako, we will still have a chance to meet Fujiwara-sensei again in the future."

Nanako Togata blushed and pushed Shinyo Ogata's shoulder, "What nonsense are you talking about..."

"Did I guess wrong? I saw that you were in a bad mood. I thought it was because the movie was turned off and you wouldn't be able to see Mr. Fujiwara often in the future. That's why you were like this."

Ogata Shinyo replied with a simple face.

"No..."

"What's the reason?" Ogata Shinyo asked.

Nanako Togata hesitated, then looked to the side: "Senior Iwai...he confessed to me."
