Tokyo Literary Godfather

Miyabe Zengzuki held Fujiwara Kei's hands excitedly, "Thank you, Mr. Fujiwara! Thank you very much for giving me this opportunity! I will definitely not let you down!"

Fujiwara Kei looked down at his hand, only feeling that he was surrounded by a ball of slime, which was indescribable.

Fujiwara Kei hesitated and said: "Miyabe-san, the labor contract can be signed tomorrow, and the salary will definitely satisfy you. The labor share will be 10% higher than your previous share. Our goals are the same. It means that the work can be successful. But before that, I have a request..."

Miyabe Zhenzuki had just planned to thank him profusely, but when he heard Fujiwara Kei's words, he quickly pursed his lips and listened carefully to what the donor said.

Kei Fujiwara looked him up and down: "I won't be polite to you anymore. Your personal image and hygiene issues need to be dealt with. If your current financial situation is really embarrassing, you can advance your salary in advance."

If Masatsuki Miyabe had the same honor after joining the team, Kei Fujiwara would really not have the courage to work with him for a few months. On the set, the director and the photographer communicated quite frequently, and Kei Fujiwara didn't want to hold a handful of orange peels in his hands all year round.

The reason why I agreed to predict his salary was because I was worried that he couldn't even afford to go to the barber shop, so I gave him some salary in advance so that he could buy new clothes. The sportswear on his body was mottled with all kinds of indescribable things. The stains made Kei Fujiwara uncomfortable to look at even after they were cleaned.

Miyabe Zhenzuki has pig liver red skin, and there is no blushing, but her eyes are slightly embarrassed, and she nodded, "No problem... Don't worry, Mr. Fujiwara, I'll go home and take care of things..."

Fujiwara Kei handed the contract that had been prepared to Miyabe Masatsuki. He just took it and glanced at it, then signed the contract happily, and then left in a hurry.

After the main photographer was confirmed, Fujiwara Kei and Ohno Nagaharu began to form a team of assistant directors.

In Japanese film crews, the position of assistant director is responsible for most of the work tasks, but there are also differences between assistant directors, mainly in terms of rank.

The fourth assistant director is generally responsible for making boards and miscellaneous items, the third assistant director is generally responsible for scene notes and paperwork, the second assistant director is usually the person in charge of service, and the first assistant director is responsible for cost, schedule, and on-site director work.

Generally speaking, when newcomers join the group, they often have to go through layers of training from fourth to first. This process is not simple. For a young man who has no background or special experience but is still smart, it often costs a lot of money. It took more than ten years to become the chief assistant director. And once you become the chief executive, you are not far away from directing independently.

This is a promotion rule and division of labor left over from the studio era. Although the studio era has come to an end, this rule has remained.

Ono Nagaharu was responsible for going to Matsunichi Pictures to find some qualified staff, while Fujiwara Kei was eyeing his old subordinates at Fukuyamadai.

Kei Fujiwara's three new dramas have been on the air for four days, and there is no doubt about the ratings results. They have maintained the consistent level of "Fujiwara dramas" and made the industry jealous and admired. The original team members who followed Kei Fujiwara when they were working at Mizunami Production have also become popular. It is said that the production bureau has negotiated new contracts with some of them, and it is estimated that they will be able to get Fukuyamadai's job at the beginning of next year. contract.

The news that Mizunami Productions was about to be sold was finally suppressed, but there were no scenes of public riots in the Yuejiu team. The reason is that as the Fujiwara drama has been rising, the industry status of these people has also improved a lot, so they are not worried at all. Regarding follow-up work, almost everyone can get a long-term contract from Fukuyamadai. Some people have even reached an agreement with the headhunter from outside the station, planning to change jobs as soon as Kei Fujiwara's contract ends.

And some people are even determined to follow Kei Fujiwara. They neither sign a contract with Fukuyamadai nor accept solicitations from outside companies. They just stare at Kei Fujiwara and see where Kei Fujiwara goes.

These people are experienced and obey Fujiwara Kei's advice, so Fujiwara Kei also plans to use some of these old departments in the new crew. But as the new season begins, these people are busy filming new dramas and may not be able to spare any time.

Fujiwara Kei told this matter to Mizuhara Yui. Although Mizuhara Yui was a little angry at Fujiwara Kei for not letting her produce the new movie, she immediately agreed when Fujiwara Kei asked for more manpower and let Fujiwara Kei choose People, she'll have other staff fill the vacancy within a week.

"By the way, Fujiwara..." Mizuhara Yui asked hesitantly, "I read the newspaper. Is it true that you and Miss Arima... are you?"

"The pregnancy is fake," Kei Fujiwara said, "but being together is real."

"That's it." Yui Mizuhara looked at Kei Fujiwara with a smile, "I've known you for so long, and I finally know what type you like. Congratulations, Fujiwara, Miss Arima is famous even in the entertainment industry. Where's the beauty?"

Fujiwara Kei smiled and said: "Then you should pay more attention to your personal issues. If you get married, my gift money will definitely be the largest among all the guests."

"Humph, that's for sure. If I really get married in the future, you will be the godfather of my child."

The two looked at each other and burst into laughter. At this moment, Kei Fujiwara uncontrollably thought of the scene when Mizuhara Yui was drunk and the river poured into the river that day. He suddenly felt a little embarrassed, so he chatted casually and went to find Yoshida. He Shi.

After Kei Fujiwara left, Yui Mizuhara didn't go to work immediately. Instead, she sat alone in the reception room, stunned for a long time, and then stood up silently and left the room.

In less than a day, Kei Fujiwara's team had several more experienced members. As soon as many people heard that Kei Fujiwara was going to shoot a new movie, they asked him if he was willing to join and almost jumped in without saying a word. Among them, Nishimura Taro volunteered and took the initiative. He has been a chief assistant for several years and is currently planning to become an executive director. This time he joined the crew of "Confession" and Kei Fujiwara directly made him the chief assistant director.

If this movie gets good results, considering his qualifications, he will be qualified to direct his own works.

As for Ohno Nagaharu, with the help of Eiji Shirai, the work is progressing relatively smoothly. After some piecing together, the crew of "Confession" finally took shape, and the formal recruitment of actors began.

The main actor Kei Fujiwara already has a target. The female lead and the male lead are played by the Arima siblings. As for the second female lead who has a relationship scene with the male lead, Kei Fujiwara originally wanted Inoue Mori to play this role again. He just started to contact Inoue Mori. When I contacted the agent again, the agent also said that Inoue Morimata had a schedule recently, and also expressed that he was very willing to cooperate with Kei Fujiwara again.

However, what is surprising is that when Kei Fujiwara called again the next day, the agent suddenly changed his mind.

"Um, I'm really sorry, Mr. Fujiwara, maybe I made a mistake. I don't know why, but that kid Morimata seems to be very resistant to filming this movie. He's very emotional, and I don't understand it..."
