Tokyo Literary Godfather

"Saw" has just finished filming, and DreamWorks has begun preparations for a new movie.

The second part is definitely indispensable. "Saw" is indeed a movie series with great potential. In the parallel world, although the cost of the second part has increased, the box office revenue has also increased a lot, reaching one 100 million US dollars, it is a super hit movie.

While preparing to shoot "Saw 2", Kei Fujiwara decided to shoot a new movie, this time he will serve as the producer himself.

The name of the new movie is "Get Out."

This is also a dark horse movie. It is the work of the genius director Jordan Peele. The director is even more famous for his TV comedy sketch "Black Brothers" before turning to the film industry.

Jordan Peele's works have always been fond of exploring race relations, including this one, "Breaking Out". Although the racial issues in it feel a bit deliberate, they are not too inconsistent. And this film was indeed a great success, earning both fame and fortune. With a production cost of less than five million, it achieved commercial results of more than 200 million in box office, and it also won the Oscar for Best Original Screenplay. It can be said that it was both fame and fortune.

Kei Fujiwara originally wanted to shoot this film himself, but after much deliberation, he felt that his identity seemed a bit inappropriate, so he thought it would be better to use a local Hollywood director.

He found Daniel and once again asked him to help recommend candidates.

"Please, Fujiwara, I am no longer the producer of this movie, so the task of finding actors is still left to me?"

"You can be an investor. Many people are vying for the right to invest in this movie. Do you want to take the risk?" Kei Fujiwara asked with a smile.

Daniel's eyes lit up.

He knew that Kei Fujiwara was not lying and that there was indeed no shortage of investment in DreamWorks' new movie. Due to the great success of "Saw", all the film investment institutions are eyeing Kei Fujiwara like vultures asking about the rancid smell. I also deliberately learned about Fujiwara Kei’s previous career experience in Tokyo. I didn’t know anything about it, but I was shocked when I learned about it.

They have never seen any filmmaker or TV personality achieve such an amazing success rate, and almost never lose money. Although Japan's film and television market is not as fierce as the United States, it is still surprising to achieve such a success rate.

So they came to DreamWorks one after another, asked for investment, and offered various generous conditions.

Hollywood is this kind of place, as long as you can make money, everything is easy.

Moreover, even if the investment cost of the new movie "Get Out" is much higher than that of "Saw", it is only a mere five million. They are fully capable of shouldering the responsibility, so they are willing to give Daniel a share of investment, which shows their sincerity.

Since "Saw" became a hit, Daniel has had some regrets in his heart, thinking that it would have been better if he had insisted on investing in this movie. Now there is a new opportunity, but you must not miss it.

"Ahem." Daniel pretended to cough, "Since you are an investor, it is your duty to think about the movie. Come to my studio, I have information on almost all directors in Hollywood, and they are very complete."

"By the way, do you remember that guy Ultraman Green? That stupid pig with no vision. We originally planned to let him be the director of "Saw", but we didn't expect that this guy would question giving up the path of film director. I have to go back and become a director of TV series. Now this guy regrets it so much that he wants to commit suicide. An actor on his set recently told me that he is in a very bad mood now and loses his temper on the set every day."

"It's not anyone else's fault. Who makes him so blind? It's clear that the well drill can find the water source less than half a meter away, but he has to give up. Let's see if you can select him this time. If you can do it again If you are interested in him, even if you ask him to clean your toilet, I think that idiot would be willing to do it."

"..."

Daniel was chattering. Although he kept scolding this Ultraman Green, he kept mentioning this person. It seems that he continues to recommend him to Fujiwara Kei in a subtle way, but because this person has a bad record of letting pigeons fly, he is embarrassed to make it too obvious.

The director named Green Altman was indeed having a very hard time during this period. The best thing in the world is a false alarm, but the worst thing is a wasted joy or a near miss.

Just a little bit, maybe you can successfully establish a foothold in the film industry... Just a little bit... If you had not lost confidence and decided to go back to being a TV drama director, but had agreed to Daniel's invitation...

Ultraman Green even lost 20 pounds because of this, and he once again had a reverie about becoming a film director. So he found Daniel again and asked him almost in tears to introduce Kei Fujiwara to him.

Daniel had no choice but to agree to him because of his past friendship, but he could only do it for this reason.

But obviously, it doesn't seem to be working.

In the director information in Daniel's studio, Kei Fujiwara selected a black director.

This black director was one of the three directors Daniel recommended to him at the beginning. Although he is white, he is black and particularly likes racial topics. He may be more suitable for the movie "Get Out".

"Contact him for me, Daniel." Kei Fujiwara said.

"Okay." Daniel sighed inwardly, Green, I have helped you, but let's wait until next time...

Soon, Kei Fujiwara met the black director named Jim. He was almost the same as he looked in the photo. This guy did indeed look white... Although he retained some black features, there were definitely not many.

"Mr. Fujiwara, I have known you for a long time. I like the movie "Saw" very much. It's a pity..."

"What's a pity?" Kei Fujiwara asked subconsciously.

Jim waved his hand: "It's a pity that the role of Jigsaw is not played by a black actor, otherwise it would be more suitable. White people occupy most of the resources of this society, but do not cherish them, and a character played by a black person decides to punish them , this is more in line with the theme of the movie, isn’t it?”

Kei Fujiwara just smiled: "It makes sense, Daniel. As a white man, what do you think?"

Daniel waved his hand: "You are not a white person, you can say it makes sense, but I am a white person, I can only say... it makes a lot of sense."

"Haha, Mr. Ellison and Mr. Fujiwara, it seems that you two have mastered how to survive in a leftist stronghold like Hollywood!" Jim said with a smile and applause.

Without saying much, Kei Fujiwara handed over his script: "Mr. Williams, maybe you will like this script."

"Will 'Get Out'... be as good and unique as 'Saw'?" Jim said, opening the script.

An hour and a half later, Jim closed the script and said with a smile.

"I accepted this script, Mr. Fujiwara, Mr. Ellison."
