Tokyo Literary Godfather

After leaving the high-power company, Fujiwara Kei didn't go out for two days. It was not because he was depressed, but because the work during this period was too heavy and the lack of sleep was severe. He needed to make up for it first.

In the past few days, he went to bed at ten o'clock every night and got up at seven o'clock in the morning. After getting up, he went for a walk in a nearby park. He occasionally went to the library to read a book and went to the small steel ball store two or three times. However, he lost more than he won, and he also didn't win. No matter how interested, I don't go there much.

After returning home, I used pen and paper to sort out some of the novels and scripts in my mind and write down the general contents so as not to forget them later.

I rented several DVDs to go home and watched some popular TV series and movies in this world. At nine o'clock in the evening, I followed the teacher on the TV to do soft exercises. After taking a shower, I drank a glass of lemon water, and then Turn off the lights and go to sleep.

Kei Fujiwara has been living extremely comfortably these past few days, as if all the troubles in his life have disappeared.

Due to adequate nutrition and rest, the injury on the arm has almost recovered, and the gauze can be removed.

The few days immediately after resigning are definitely the most nourishing. I don’t have to worry too much about money, because I have the material fee paid by "Qian Kun Chun Qiu". As long as I don’t spend a lot of money and don’t strike up a conversation with a woman in a hip skirt standing alone under a street lamp in Shinjuku, , ignore those missionaries, and it shouldn’t be a big problem to live on.

The serialization of "White Night Journey" is already halfway through. There are still more than three months left, and the serialization should be completed. At that time, the single book will be officially sold.

Only then did the book enter the real profit stage.

No matter how popular the serialization in the magazine was, Kei Fujiwara could not realize a penny.

Both issues of "White Night Journey" ranked first in the magazine's return visit statistics. This is good news. At least the sales volume of the single volume will not be too low, and at least the cost can be recovered.

But after all, it is a ranking in a supplement, and the value of being number one is actually not very high. You must know that "Qiankun Chunqiu" has only been published for more than a year, and the single volume of the novel with the highest sales volume is only 80,000 copies.

The predicted sales volume of "White Night Journey" has exceeded this number, reaching 150,000 copies. If the actual results are as predicted, Fujiwara Kei has already broken the supplement record.

But only Kei Fujiwara knows that the final result of "White Night Journey" is definitely more than that.

The sky became dark again, Kei Fujiwara looked at his watch, opened Fukuyama Terrace, and read "In the Name of Love".

"In the Name of Love" has been completed, and the plot on the TV has also come to an end, and the male and female protagonists are finally together.

Kei Fujiwara began to look for his own back in the male protagonist.

Kei Fujiwara opened a bag of potato chips, made himself a cup of milk powder, and read while eating.

The phone rang suddenly. Kei Fujiwara wiped the salt and grease off his fingers and went to answer the phone.

It should be Editor Itagaki again...

Fujiwara Kei thought so and answered the phone. On the other end of the phone, Arima Keika's voice came.

"Fujiwara-kun, I heard that you resigned?"

"Miss Arima, you are really well-informed." Fujiwara Kei said with a smile.

"I just heard about it, because I have a collaboration with Gao Gongli for my next drama, and I went there. I originally wanted to ask you to work on the crew, but when I mentioned your name, the faces of all the people changed. ”

"It's really surprising that you actually scolded Panasonic's screenwriter in public. You... aren't you afraid of leaving a bad reputation in the industry?"

"I'm not even famous, so how can I get notoriety?" Fujiwara Kei said, "The broadcasting world is not a pure and innocent place. Aren't there many people who are notorious and prosperous?"

"That's true." Arima Katsura said, "Fujiwara-kun, I don't comment on your behavior. But I only know that the domestic screenwriter circle really values ​​qualifications, and it's really difficult for a newcomer to get ahead without relying on the seniors, so …”

Arima Katsura's voice changed: "Why don't you give up your career as a screenwriter and become an actor?"

"...You are really persistent."

"Isn't it the same for you... By the way, I called because I have something to ask you."

"What's up?"

"I want to read the full manuscript of "White Night Journey"!" Keixiang Arima said, her tone unconsciously revealing a bit of resentment. It was really hard to follow the updates in each issue.

What is the fate that awaits Yukiho and Ryoji? Really impatient!

"That won't work. I still have to count on you to vote for me."

"Aha, if you don't show it to me, I will buy a hundred copies and vote for your competitors!"

"..."

It was also after this period of contact that Kei Fujiwara realized that Arima Keika was cold on the surface, but actually had a funny personality and was a bit of a material girl.

I don’t know if I look like a fat man at home.

Fujiwara Kei and Arima Keika were talking on the phone and teasing each other wantonly. At this time, the sound of the TV became louder, and the sound inside reached Arima Keixiang's ears.

Arima Guixiang was silent for a moment, and asked after a few seconds: "Are you watching "In the Name of Love" now?"

"Yeah, can't you hear the TV series you're starring in?" Kei Fujiwara said, using the remote control to turn up the volume a few notches.

At this time, "Arima Keika" on the TV was expressing her feelings to the male protagonist. Fujiwara Kei suddenly felt a stinging pain in his eardrums, and only heard Arima Keika screaming on the other end of the phone: "Ah, turn it off! I’m getting goosebumps!”

"You acted this yourself."

"I never watch myself acting. I will have nightmares at night! Goodbye, Fujiwara-kun, I'm going to bed!"

"Dudududu..."

Many actors do not watch their own works. Kei Fujiwara remembers watching a movie starring him with an actor in his previous life. Since it was an idol film, the actor's performance in the movie was a bit pretentious. At that time, he remembered that the actor was completely uncomfortable. Feeling at ease.

Kei Fujiwara hung up the phone, but the moment the receiver was put down, it started ringing again.

Kei Fujiwara answered the phone: "Ms. Arima, you..."

"Fujiwara-kun, it's me."

Fujiwara Kei was stunned for a moment, "Mr. Kobayashi?"

"Yes." Kobayashi Shuzo said on the other end of the phone, "Fujiwara-kun, are you free tomorrow? Is it convenient to meet?"

Fujiwara Kei didn't hesitate, "Okay, what time? Where?"

"It's four o'clock in the afternoon. It's the perfect coffee shop in Yurakucho Station." Kobayashi Shuzo said.

It seems that Kobayashi Xiuzou deliberately chose a place far away from the company.

"Okay, but Mr. Kobayashi..." Kei Fujiwara said, "I have no intention of returning to high-level skills."

"I know, and I'm not here to persuade you. Your previous plans are still with me, and I plan to return them to you...and."

Kobayashi Shuzo continued: "A friend of mine wants to meet you. She admires you very much."

"Who? Is it someone I've met?"

"No, you haven't seen it." Kobayashi Shuzo said, "It's a female producer from Mizuha Productions, Ms. Mizuhara Yui, who makes entertainment programs. She has the intention to cooperate with you."

"Since you have left Gao Gongli, I would like to be a matchmaker for the two of you. If you also have this wish, come and have an interview."
