Tokyo Literary Godfather

Kei Fujiwara had not asked the production bureau to help him find an assistant or secretary before, but the production bureau still prepared it for him very considerately.

Kei Fujiwara was used to writing alone, but after thinking about it, he felt that this was a good intention after all, and it would be rude to refuse, so he said nothing more.

Kei Fujiwara accepted out of courtesy, just out of courtesy.

The secretary gave Shiraishi Monet a few words to work well, and then left the office.

After the secretary left, Shiraishi Monet bowed slightly to Kei Fujiwara and said, "Teacher Fujiwara, I'll go out first. If you need anything, call me at any time. Press the tic-tac-toe key on the phone to be my desk phone."

"OK, all right."

After Shiraishi Monet walked out of the office, Fujiwara Kei sat on the office chair, his whole body sinking in. The shape of the back of the chair fit Fujiwara Kei's back incomparably. Fujiwara Kei felt something in his heart and looked back.

Kei Fujiwara glanced at the trademark printed on the ergonomic chair. It is a very famous and luxurious office equipment brand in the world. To be honest, it feels really good.

Kei Fujiwara remembered the chair he made in Mizunami. It was an ordinary wooden chair, and it was a bit painful to sit on. Kei Fujiwara suddenly feels like Guan Yu, Yui Mizuhara is like Uncle Liu Huang, and the production bureau is like Cao Ying...

Kei Fujiwara stood up and stood in front of the window again, stroking the leaves and looking out the window. At the headquarters, standing higher, the view becomes wider, and now I can clearly see the end of the street and the railroad tracks at the end.

At this time, Kei Fujiwara turned his head slightly, but he saw that there was also an office building on the other side, and behind a certain floor-to-ceiling window of that office building, there was a figure with his legs slightly spread, and Kei Fujiwara. Still looking down at the scenery.

The man was standing on a floor higher than Fujiwara Kei. Fujiwara Kei had to raise his head slightly to see him, so he murmured: "It's still not high enough..."

However, after muttering something, he said nothing more. He turned around and sat back at his desk, spread out the manuscript paper, and started writing.

…

Mizuhara Yui auditioned dozens of actors in two days, selected a few of them, and then watched them repeatedly in the planning room with the creators, trying to choose a hero and heroine from them.

The most important of these is the choice of the male protagonist. Kei Fujiwara described stories such as "Tokyo Cinderella" as "the domineering president falls in love with me". Although "I" is a role for the audience to substitute, but "the president "It's a playful eye."

Kei Fujiwara told them in advance that if the female protagonist is not chosen appropriately, they can still get by, but the male protagonist must meet the setting.

There are also many male actors coming to audition, and because of the appeal of the nine dramas next month, many actors with very favorable conditions have come. And in order to be able to film the Yuejiu drama, these actors, no matter how big or small they are, don't have to pay much. In addition, the budget provided by the station is very sufficient, so you can almost choose whomever you want.

But there were too many choices, which also made the creative team tangled. Most of the creative team are men, and it is difficult to choose a "dominant president" who fits women's fantasies, so in the end, it is Mizuhara Yui who decides on the male lead.

Mizuhara Yui felt a lot of pressure. She didn't really understand what kind of perfect man the female audience likes. Although she is a female audience, she doesn't watch many romantic dramas. What she really likes are horror movies...

"What about Ito-kun?" Just when Mizuhara Yui felt embarrassed, Shibazaki Hideaki spoke up and chose an actor named Ito Makoto.

This 29-year-old actor is also from an idol school. His acting skills are acceptable, he also has a noble air about him, and his image completely meets the standards of a public lover.

Everyone had no objections, and after some comparisons, they finally decided to let Makoto Ito play the male lead in "Tokyo Cinderella".

Next is the choice of the heroine...

"How is Aoi Kono?" Mizuhara Yui asked.

"I think Kudo Minami is more suitable." Shibasaki Hideaki said.

The two had differences, but they did not argue with each other, but talked about their own opinions. Mizuhara Yui feels that "Life is Beautiful" has raised Kono Aoi's popularity to a national level, and it would be better to take this opportunity to strike while the iron is hot.

But Shibazaki Hideaki has a different opinion, precisely because "Life is Beautiful" became popular, and the audience of Yuejiu drama is already familiar with Kono Aoi's face, and he will soon be partnered with another actor at the same time. Make the audience feel like there is a drama. Maybe it will also offend a group of viewers who think Kono Aoi and Yamashita Maki are more suitable for each other, and will have a preconceived negative impression of this drama.

In later generations of China, this type of audience had a unified name, called CP fans. The reason why Kei Fujiwara wants to turn Kono Aoi and Yamashita Maki into golden boys and girls is because he wants to reap the dividends from these fans.

"Then Kono Aoi won't be able to partner with other actors in the future? They're just playing a couple, and they're not really getting married." Nishimura Taro complained.

"Of course, but it's best not to follow closely. Give the audience a buffer."

"Then how about letting Yamashita Materu play the male lead again this time?"

"I think it's better to change the actors, otherwise the audience will get tired easily."

Mizuhara Yui also thinks there is some truth.

The casting meeting lasted all afternoon, and the cast list was basically finalized.

At the same time, the main creative teams of "Justice is Victory", "Furuhata Jinsaburo" and "The Lonely Gourmet" have also been confirmed.

"Justice Is Victory" is still produced by Mizuhara Yui, while the production work of "Furuhata Jinsaburo" and "The Lonely Gourmet" was handed over to producer Shimizu Asaki.

The director of "Justice Is Victory", Kei Fujiwara, chose two veteran directors from the production bureau to jointly supervise and direct.

The casting of "Justice Is Victory" did not organize large-scale auditions, and the leading role was basically decided by Kei Fujiwara. Among them, Kei Fujiwara still chose Takaharu Miyata to play the main role of "Furumimon Kensuke".

Miyata Takaharu is indeed an actor with great ideas and patience. After "Hanzawa Naoki" became a hit and set a historical record, his own commercial value has been rising like a monkey in the sky, and film contracts and advertising endorsements have also appeared one after another. flew over.

But he doesn't seem to have the idea of ​​making quick money, and he can stay calm about those film contracts that promise high-level remuneration. He didn't agree easily. Instead, he returned to stage plays for a while and continued to hone his acting skills. If there were no good plays, it would be better not to act.

But money still has to be earned. Although I haven't received any new dramas during this period, I have received a lot of commercials. Kei Fujiwara often sees Miyata Takaharu's face when he turns on the TV.

Fujiwara Kei called Hashimoto's agent, and Takaharu Miyata and Hanna Hashimoto rushed to the TV station that day.

Fujiwara Kei and Miyata Takaharu were already familiar with each other, so they didn’t put on any airs as creative directors. They found a tavern with them and chatted about the script while drinking.

Kei Fujiwara summarized the basic plot of "Justice is Victory" in a few words. It is the story of an "unscrupulous" lawyer named Kensuke Komemon who fights lawsuits everywhere. It tells the story of how this legendary lawyer with a 100% winning rate can take advantage of The story of his superior control over human nature and law, winning each lawsuit.

The lawsuits in each episode involve a social issue that the public cares about, such as torture to extract confessions, workplace oppression, environmental pollution, the mental health of child actors, etc.

What connects every story is the consistent style of this Gumeimen lawyer, which is to protect the interests of the client at all costs, and he can despise everything as long as he wants to win!

Hearing this setting, Miyata Takaharu was a little stunned. Is he the image of a shameless lawyer? Is he going to play a bastard in the new drama? I originally heard that it was a legal drama, and I thought it would be another man with a sense of justice like Naoki Hansawa...
