Tokyo Literary Godfather

However, many overseas film producers approached Kei Fujiwara and asked to distribute the film, especially in Hong Kong and Taiwan. Although it is impossible to sell as well as in Japan, they are still good ticket warehouses, so if it counts With Shanghai's foreign income, the difference of tens of millions can be filled in an instant.

However, the public did not pay attention to this difference of tens of millions. When promoting the box office results of this movie, they all called "Confession" as a "five billion box office masterpiece."

"Fujiwara." Itagaki Kazuhiko called Kei Fujiwara, "The magazine wants to do an exclusive interview with you. When you have time, I will send a reporter to go directly to you."

"Interview?" Fujiwara Kei asked while answering the phone, "Why do you want an exclusive interview all of a sudden?"

Now that the release period of the new book has passed, there should be no need to promote it frequently. Fujiwara Kei now feels that his fame is getting bigger and bigger. The growth of his fame has given him many advantages. When promoting new works, he has his own momentum, but There is also trouble, that is, the private space has become narrow. When Kei Fujiwara chose a behind-the-scenes career, he took into account his need for privacy. But now, his name and his face are no longer unknown on the streets of Japan, and there is no privacy at all. So now he tries to keep his appearance to a minimum.

"It's only been a little over a month, but the sales of "Confessions" and "Gambling Apocalypse" have already approached 400,000. This is great." Itagaki Kazuhiko's words on the other end of the phone revealed joy, "It is precisely because of these two books that The book is selling so well, the editorial department only discovered one thing when it was counting the sales recently, and it was almost overlooked before..."

"Fujiwara, the total sales volume of your works has exceeded 15 million copies! It is worth celebrating!"

"Fifteen million……"

Kei Fujiwara scratched his head, wondering why the attitude of the trust company became more and more humble, and the visits became more and more frequent. It turns out that the cumulative sales volume is already so high.

"To be precise, it's 16.45 million. When it exceeded 10 million, I actually forgot to count it." Kazuhiko Itagaki's voice sounded in a good mood on the phone.

Sales of more than 10 million in three years are a very remarkable achievement for both an author and an editor. Even if the book's reputation is as bad as shit, this business achievement is enough to stand out among the others, not to mention Kei Fujiwara. His works have always achieved good sales and good reputation.

Moreover, the market potential of these books is still profound. Even Kei Fujiwara's first novel "White Night Journey" is still often on the best-seller lists of major bookstores. It is still a best-seller every year. The printing company does not know how many times it has received reprinting orders. Not to mention other works such as "Mitarai Detective Collection" and "Devotion of Suspect X".

Sometimes, even the top ten of the best-selling list are works of Kei Fujiwara, which is very scary.

Throughout Japan, there are many writers who have accumulated more than ten million works. Although there are only a few, there are still twenty or thirty people. And many of these twenty or thirty people have reasonably withered away, such as those whose personal portraits are printed on banknotes.

Moreover, most of these people are famous people, so their works are recommended to be purchased by Chinese teachers. It takes decades for a famous person to achieve such sales results. Just relying on the commercial power of the work itself, it is very rare to be able to accumulate sales of tens of millions.

So although the total sales of over 10 million seems very gratifying, it is not that amazing. At most, it is just one more seat in the Japanese Authors Hall of Fame. But when combined with Kei Fujiwara’s debut time, it’s a bit scary. In just three years since his debut, he has entered the 10 million sales club, and as his works continue to accumulate, it seems that the total sales will exceed 100 million within ten years.

Based on market response, Chunqiusha predicts that the total sales of Kei Fujiwara's works will exceed 20 million, which should be next year.

Among the entire Spring and Autumn Club's contracted authors, apart from Kei Fujiwara, the only one whose total sales of works exceeds 10 million is Mika Miyano, but she has been debuting for nearly thirty years.

Worth writing home about...

Fujiwara Kei agreed to Spring Autumn Society's column interview invitation. Now that Mizuha Productions is in its initial stage, it especially needs "allies", and Spring Autumn Society is an important partner, so just agree to such a small and innocuous request.

Half a month later, the magazine interview came out. The cover of the magazine that published the interview was Kei Fujiwara. It was a black and white artistic photo of Kei Fujiwara, wearing glasses and looking deeply into the distance.

The title is: Genius writers create history, millions of sales are just stepping stones

And within this half month, the morning drama produced by Shuibo Production for NHK was officially launched.

The premiere day was Monday, and the ratings of the new drama on its opening day were only 18.5, which was quite satisfactory for a morning drama. Since morning dramas are broadcast every day, five days a week, the average weekly ratings are generally calculated, and a single day's ratings have no particular reference significance. So those in the industry are waiting for Friday to see how the show's first week of parody fares. But judging from the ratings in the past few days, the show's performance is indeed good.

"The White Tower" and "Blue Life and Death" are also in emergency filming and production. As the date of the broadcast gets closer, the two crews are getting busier. Usually there is still time to quarrel and give each other some eye drops, but as time becomes tight, even the energy and time for bickering have disappeared.

I even started to cooperate sincerely. If my crew is short of manpower, or lacks certain resources, equipment or props, I quickly put down my posture and borrow them from the other crew. . Rather than competing with each other, it is most important to complete the current task first.

Don't go back and fight, it would be bad if both of you hit the street.

The ratings in the first week were 20.3%, which was very good. The director of the NHK Production Bureau took the initiative to call to announce the good news. After talking about the results, he said that NHK and Mizuna Productions should further strengthen cooperation in the future.

Also, "The True Colors of an Expert" plans to invite Kei Fujiwara again. The last documentary filmed with Kei Fujiwara as the main character had excellent ratings, so I plan to make a second part.

Two flowers bloom, one on each side. Now the entire water wave production is putting manpower into the production of works, and another business is also in full swing, that is the "water wave award" competition a few months ago.

In fact, Kei Fujiwara has not participated in the production of the three TV dramas during this period. After taking out the script, the rest is almost entirely handed over to the producer, and he has been watching various submitted works during this period.

After one or two rounds of screening, various submitted works have become much fresher. Some works are still not good-looking, but at least they can be seen.

Kei Fujiwara also saw the names of several acquaintances in the submitted works, Shiraishi Monet and Togada Nanako.

Shiraishi Monet participated in the [Mizuba Award] Kei Fujiwara knew, but Nanako Togata also participated, which was beyond Fujiwaraya's expectation. After confirming that the contributor was indeed the Nanako Togata he knew, not the same name and surname . So I threw aside the works of Monet Shiraishi and looked at the works of Nanako Togada seriously.

What Nanako Togata wrote this time turned out to be a romantic drama... Kei Fujiwara was a little surprised, because he remembered that Nanako Togata was a writer of mystery novels. What about TV shows?

And when Kei Fujiwara read Togata's script, he admired it sincerely in his heart. It has to be said that as a female author, her emotional description is really much more delicate and moving than many male authors. As for the love story of Nanako Togata, although there are still many rough places, for example, the format is too close to the novel, which is not suitable for the script, but it is only a matter of rhythm and format, and the story itself is relatively good.

The level is higher than her own mystery works, maybe this is the type she is good at.
