Tokyo Literary Godfather

Chapter 362 Midnight

The program gradually came to an end, and after some of the finale programs were broadcast, the attention of the last few songs gradually declined.

At midnight (around 11 p.m.), the sound of bells gradually came from the distance, layer upon layer, and I felt like the air was shaking.

The bells come from temples of all sizes across the country. Every year on the Great Dark Day, temples all over the country will ring 108 bells. There is no absolute conclusion as to why they ring 108 times.

Some people say that the 108 bells are struck to drive away the 108 evil spirits who come to the world on the Great Sun, just like setting off firecrackers to drive away the Nian beast; some say that the 108 bells represent the 108 gods; others say that the 108 bells represent the 12 The total number of months, 24 solar terms and 72 hou.

But in short, people believe that the bells play the role of driving away bad luck and praying for blessings.

As the bells gradually ended, another half hour passed, and the Red and White Song Concert officially came to an end.

After the performance of Arima Katsura and Arima Masai, they originally wanted to go home directly, but Arima Katsura asked Arima Masai to go back first and she would go back tomorrow morning.

"Do you know what to tell your parents when you go back?" Arima Keixiang looked at Arima Masai with a smile.

This kid used to have a bad habit of competing with his sister for favor in front of his parents. He often said disgusting words such as "My sister is so fierce, unlike me, and my heart is full of mom and dad." So I was afraid that he would go back and blame me, saying things like, "My sister forgot her parents when she got a man, and she never came back for years."

So it’s better to give me a shock in advance. If you don’t want your butt to bloom in the new year, just be honest with me.

Arimamasai swallowed his saliva and nodded repeatedly: "I know, I know."

"Masai, Happy New Year." Kei Fujiwara came from not far away and handed Arima Masai a red envelope.

Arimasai happily accepted the red envelope and said happily: "Happy New Year, Mr. Fujiwara, I hope you can make new breakthroughs in your career in the new year!"

Arimasai's wishes come from the bottom of his heart. He sincerely hopes that Fujiwara Kei can become bigger and stronger and create greater glory. When he becomes the leading godfather figure in the Japanese entertainment industry, he will turn him into an actor. Wouldn't that be a matter of minutes?

"I try my best." Kei Fujiwara smiled.

Arima Sai left with the car. Seeing no one around, Arima Keixiang slightly buried her face in Fujiwara Kei's chest, then raised her head and asked in a low voice: "Shall we go home too?"

Fujiwara Kei looked at Arima Guixiang's little face, which was particularly white against the light, touched it gently with his hand, and whispered in her ear: "Okay, let's go say hello to Yagami Koushiro."

Arima Keixiang nodded, and several people went to the backstage. At this time, Yagami Koushiro was standing listening to the assistant's report. The assistant was holding a paper-like thing and showing it to Yagami Kojiro, with a bright expression on his face. He was saying something quite excitedly.

It wasn't until Kei Fujiwara came closer that he could barely hear clearly.

"Mr. Yagami, the ratings report has been calculated, and the ratings performance is much better than expected!"

The Kohaku Utakai Festival received unusual attention compared to ordinary TV dramas, and it was a live broadcast, so the staff of NHK TV station could not wait until the next day to see the ratings results that night.

As the assistant spoke, he showed the ratings report to Eiko Yagami. Eiko Yagami glanced at it and deliberately stopped at certain moments. Sure enough, in "Ride on the Back of the Silver Dragon" and "Bamboo During the performance time of "Song of Songs", the ratings curve has an obvious upward trend.

Especially for "Fireworks", when this song appeared, the upward trend was particularly obvious, causing a peak in ratings.

Although this year's total ratings want to catch up with historical ratings, it is delusional. After all, such high ratings are also due to the times. However, it was much better than expected, changing the trend of the red and white song show's ratings declining every year.

It seems that this year the toll collectors will be more relaxed when they come to collect fees... maybe.

"Congratulations, Mr. Yagami." Kei Fujiwara walked up and said with a smile, "Then I will go back first and won't stay with my NHK colleagues for the New Year."

"Teacher Fujiwara, thanks to you and my father-in-law." Eikoro Yagami said quickly, "Although I haven't received formal feedback from the audience yet, judging from the ratings, the audience likes my three creations very much."

"As long as everyone likes it, my mother's spirit in heaven will also be pleased." Kei Fujiwara said.

But in fact, he didn't know how the original owner's mother would react if she had a spirit in heaven. Will she be happy or speechless?

"Next, I plan to make all these creations of your father's lifetime into a collection of records for a wider audience." said Eikoro Yagami. He is a music producer, and his specialty is producing and releasing records.

"By the way, there is one more thing. A colleague from the documentary department wants to make a documentary about your parents, and he has entrusted me to discuss it with you..."

Making documentaries is a traditional art in the Japanese broadcasting industry, and in many cases it can indeed produce extraordinary social responses. Most of the celebrities in Japanese society are made popular by documentaries. Even if we lose in the World Cup, we still have to make a documentary for reflection and research.

And Eikoro Yagami also accidentally talked about this matter with the producer of the documentary department. At the dinner table, he lamented that such a talented musician was not known to everyone during his life. Fortunately, she gave birth to a similarly talented musician. An outstanding son who achieved great fame. Only then did the masterpieces of this outstanding musician appear in the public eye.

In fact, Eikoro Yagami originally said it casually, but the documentary producer heard it and immediately realized that this was an extremely potential topic. A talented woman who was not recognized for her talent was only known after her death because of her son who also had amazing talents. , God, this story is so dramatic, as if two generations are relaying to complete a certain task.

Just listening to it makes my blood boil. It would be great to watch as a documentary. Coupled with Kei Fujiwara's influence and popularity in Japanese society, the ratings will definitely not be low.

Kei Fujiwara thought for a while and said: "No problem, just ask the producer to contact me later."

Yagami Eikoro smiled and said: "Okay, I will tell him right away." Then he glanced at Arima Guixiang again and said with a smile: "Miss Arima performed very well today. She received many calls backstage, almost all of them were from Those who praise Ms. Arima, well, it’s really a loss to the music industry that Ms. Arima became an actress.”

In fact, this was Eikoro Yagami's deliberate flattery. It is true that "Bamboo Song" performed by Arima Katsura today was well received, but it cannot be said to be second to none. Not to mention other songs, just comparing the three songs presented by Kei Fujiwara, Rumiko who sang "Ride on the Back of the Silver Dragon" is more professional and emotional in singing than "Song of the Bamboo" It is full of energy, skillful and exciting, and "Hanabi" by Arima Sai and Inoue Morimata is even more popular among young people.

Moreover, there are so many talented people in the Japanese music industry now. It would be a pity to miss Arima Guixiang.

Of course, Fujiwara Kei and Arima Keika also knew that these words were somewhat flattering, and 90% of the flattery was directed at Fujiwara Kei, but they just said "You are so complimentary", and then said goodbye to each other and walked out of NHK performance club.

It was already one o'clock in the morning when we got home. We originally agreed to stay up late and sit on the sofa to watch a video movie. However, after watching it for less than half an hour, we were already so sleepy that our eyelids were shaking, so the two of us sat and lay down on the sofa. , hugged each other and fell asleep sweetly.
