Tokyo Literary Godfather

In fact, what Kei Fujiwara wants to be the most is the general director of the show, but in fact this is not realistic.

He is twenty-two years old and is just a graduate. He has no connections in a new production company. Being directly parachuted in as the chief director is almost a dream. Even if he really becomes the chief director, he will be ganged up by his new colleagues and squeezed out until the program can no longer continue.

You're a young guy, and you still want to ride on our heads?

Unless Kei Fujiwara is the illegitimate son of a big shot, it would be impossible for him to complete his directorial work smoothly.

Planning actually belongs to the director's job in variety shows, but sometimes it is separated. The planning team is responsible for creating program content, and the director is responsible for execution and on-the-spot response.

"Main planner..." Mizuhara Yui hesitated and said, "But Fujiwara-kun, after all, you lack performance and experience. The production of a program is very complicated. The chief planner needs to know everything in advance and be responsible for formulating the shooting plan. Provide creative ideas, etc. There are many things to consider for a long variety show, so..."

Mizuhara Yui paused and continued: "I plan to give you the position of chief assistant and let you join the planning team, but I will let an experienced chief planner guide and improve the plan. Do you think it is feasible?"

The main assistant director is also considered the main creative staff and is the real power position in the program team, second only to the director, producer and main cameraman.

Fujiwara Kei shook his head: "I understand your concerns, Miss Mizuhara, but my conditions will not change."

Mizuhara Yui held the coffee cup with both hands, lowered her head and subconsciously looked at the lipstick marks on the edge of the cup, as if she had made some kind of determination:

"I understand, Mr. Fujiwara, can you elaborate on your plan?"

Kei Fujiwara handed over the project proposal for "Anthropological Observation" and said, "This is a variety show project written by me. Please take a look at it. If you need me to add anything, please feel free to ask me."

Mizuhara Yui took the project, looked at the square black font on the project, and couldn't help but said: Anthropology? It sounds like a news observation program. Is this an entertainment variety show?

Mizuhara Yui opened the plan and looked at it, while Fujiwara Kei and Kobayashi Shuzo were waiting quietly.

There is still a lot of content in the plan, but now is not the time to study it word for word.

Mizuhara Yui roughly read the content and understood the core selling point of this variety show project.

First of all, it is cheap. It is a variety show focusing on amateurs. You don’t have to spend money to hire big stars. Of course, if a certain star’s drama is broadcast on the TV station where the show is, you can also do it for free without paying extra. After all, I am helping you. publicity.

Secondly, the content is light-hearted and enjoyable. Like Giggles, it is a pure comedy program, not valuable, not tear-jerking, and not vulgar. In fact, there are already prank shows coming out, but the jokes are a bit vulgar, and many of them go to the next level.

Although "Anthropological Observation" is a spoof variety show, it is much fresher and healthier than some prank shows where female idols pretend not to recognize condoms and blow them up as balloons or put geckos in their underwear, and are less likely to offend the audience.

The content of this issue is also very varied. The content of this issue is "Suddenly Talking to Pets", and the next issue is "What if the father-in-law is the leader of the Yakuza". They are both full of creativity, will not make people bored, and will make people think about the next one. Curiosity about the content of the issue.

Mizuhara Yui thought this was just a draft, but she didn't expect it to be so detailed and was a little surprised.

If it's at this level, even if you're young, what's the problem with being the main creator?

"Teacher Fujiwara, this project is very interesting." Mizuhara Yui looked at it briefly and said immediately, "I can agree to your request."

So decisive... Kobayashi Shuzo looked at Mizuhara Yui and thought to himself.

Kobayashi Shuzo felt a little ashamed: if it were him, he wouldn't dare to agree to Fujiwara's request rashly, and he would have to go back and ask the senior management for instructions.

No wonder he became a producer at such a young age. In terms of courage, he is not comparable to someone like him who rose through the ranks through years of merit.

Fujiwara Kei originally thought that Mizuhara Yui would have to go back and think about it for at least a day before giving an answer. Unexpectedly, he agreed directly, which was also a bit unexpected.

However, this also shows that Yui Mizuhara has expressed trust, and there should not be too many constraints on future cooperation, which makes Kei Fujiwara feel more at ease.

"Miss Mizuhara, thank you for your trust."

"To make a good show, mutual trust is necessary." Mizuhara Yui said, "I can see that Mr. Fujiwara is a person with high aspirations, and I hope that we can climb to higher places together."

Saying that, Mizuhara Yui stretched out her hand.

Fujiwara Kei also stretched out his hand, and the two shook hands.

"Teacher Fujiwara, can I take this project with me?" Yui Mizuhara added, "I have to submit the plan to the production committee of Fukuyama TV and apply for funds before the project can be advanced."

"The application time is expected to be two to three working days. I'm sorry, Fujiwara-kun, but I can't get a good time slot now. Fukuyama TV now has more night time slots. I think it won't be difficult to pass with this plan and creativity."

"Of course." Fujiwara Kei nodded.

Shuibo Production is a subsidiary of Fukuyama Television, so many company affairs are decided by the television station.

Most of Japan's TV production models adopt a model of separation of production and broadcasting. Most of the TV programs are shot by production companies hired by the TV stations. Of course, the TV stations themselves also have their own production organizations, called XX Production Bureau.

Most production companies are wholly-owned, such as Gaogongli Production. Although "Japanese Illustrated Book" and "In the Name of Love" were both programs that Gaogongli participated in before, the relationship between the two is only a cooperative relationship between Party A and Party B. After the cooperation ends, Gao Gongli will also produce programs for other TV stations.

However, Shuibo Production is a subsidiary controlled by Fukuyama TV. It only produces programs for one TV station, Fukuyama TV. It is part of the TV station and can be regarded as a branch of the production bureau.

Fujiwara Kei smiled, but he didn't expect that after a lot of trouble, he returned to the starting point...

After three cups of coffee, Yui Mizuhara stood up, exchanged contact information with Kei Fujiwara, and then went back to the production company.

Kobayashi Shuzo also planned to go back. Fujiwara Kei said to Kobayashi: "Mr. Kobayashi, thank you very much."

"It's nothing." Kobayashi Shuzo's face was still expressionless, "I have worked as a TV personality for decades, but I have always produced some amazing works. Provide some help to potential newcomers, It can be regarded as my contribution to the industry I love. And..."

"Don't tell others that I recommended you to Shuibo Production. After all, you left, but I'm still here at Gao Gongli..."

After that, Kobayashi Xiuzou tucked his briefcase under his arm and left along the sidewalk, leaving a long shadow on the road in the fiery red sunset.
