Tokyo Literary Godfather

As soon as this statement came out, the men present were a little angry.

Especially for people like Takaki Sasaki who have worked with Mizuhara Yui for a long time, they all regard Mizuhara Yui as a trustworthy partner and junior, which is no different from asking their daughter or wife to accompany the wine.

"Not today. I'm too drunk. Please say sorry to Mr. Takada." Mizuhara Yui replied.

"What about Miss Araki?" the woman wearing glasses continued to ask.

"I...I..." Araki Kiko's expression was a little stiff.

Mizuhara Yui said: "I am her producer. I won't let her leave. Does she dare to leave? Don't embarrass her."

"I know." The woman wearing glasses closed the door and left.

Mizuhara Yui rescued Araki Kiko, but Araki Kiko's face was a little complicated and she smiled at Mizuhara Yui.

"This bastard! You look down on people!" Hide Hasegawa cursed.

"Why don't you let his mother go drink with you!" Sasaki Takagi also shouted.

Everyone started a new round of verbal criticism against Takada Kenji, cursing while drinking, but fortunately, everyone in the room tastes pretty good, and there is no such reckless person who wants to fight Takada Kenji after drinking.

After a while, Kiko Araki picked up her bag, walked to Mizuhara Yui, and whispered: "Miss Mizuhara, I'm sorry, I'm not feeling well, can I take a step first?"

Mizuhara Yui glanced at her: "If you want to go, then go."

"I'm sorry...please understand..."

Kiko Araki bowed to Yui Mizuhara several times before carrying her bag and walking out of the private room.

Kei Fujiwara sipped his tea and said nothing. If nothing else, Kiko Araki should have been invited to Kenji Takada's private room.

It's easy to guess what Araki Kiko wants, that is, she hopes to catch up with Kenji Takada, and maybe have the opportunity to participate in his TV series in the future.

But will pleasing the producer get you the right to participate? As an actor with such thoughts, Kei Fujiwara can only wish her good luck. In the industry, I don’t know how many directors, producers and even assistants cheat by participating in roles, but if they sleep on it, they sleep on it. So what if they don’t deliver? Do you still dare to expose us? Do you still want to join this circle?

In fact, actresses are not stupid, and many times they know that the other party is cheating, but the entertainment industry is a big gambling table, if you don't bet, you will never win.

Of course, it is precisely because many people have this kind of gambler mentality that they end up losing their entire lives.

Yui Mizuhara's face finally collapsed. Kiko Araki looked very unhappy after leaving. Before, she could barely squeeze a smile even when she was asked to accompany her, but now she was really angry.

Kiko Araki is still considered a member of her show team, but she was asked by others to accompany her for a drink. That guy Kenji Takada is deliberately humiliating the entire "Anthropological Observation" program team.

More dishes were brought out, and Mizuhara Yui was no longer in the mood to eat, so she poked and poked in the bowl with a pair of chopsticks.

Fujiwara Kei has a good appetite. He hasn't had such authentic Chinese food in Japan for a long time. The Niuhe Stir-fry is really good. It looks like it was made by a Cantonese chef with some skills. It’s a pity that there is no lion head goose that he is thinking about, but it is too expensive. If he can make a TV series with an audience rating of more than 30%, he will He had the confidence to ask Mizuhara Yui to order one for him.

After drinking for two rounds, everyone ate and drank well, walked out of the restaurant, passed by Takada Kenji's private room, Mizuhara Yui deliberately took a look inside, the private room was already empty, I don't know if this group of people has already left or went to the next one . Araki Kiko didn’t know whether she went home by herself or followed him.

"Miss Mizuhara, who is that Takada Kenji...?"

"A popular producer within the production bureau made a drama with a ratings of 21% last year. He has worked on three dramas in his career, and the ratings were all above 16." Mizuhara Yui looked a little discouraged, but immediately He added: "But the high ratings are also because he can get prime time. If we can get this time, our results will not be lower than his, right, Fujiwara?"

Mizuhara Yui looked up at Kei Fujiwara with a little expectation in her eyes, as if hoping to get a positive answer.

This was the first time that Kei Fujiwara saw Yui Mizuhara showing such a cute look, and he couldn't help but laugh out loud: "You are right, Miss Mizuhara, we will definitely impress people."

After the dinner that day, most people took taxis home. Kei Fujiwara thought it was expensive, so he still chose to walk back.

During the filming the next day, Araki Kiko came to the studio as usual, and Mizuhara Yui did not show any unpleasant expression in front of her. It seemed that everything was as usual.

…

"The sales volume of "Qian Kun Chun Qiu" has broken the record again!"

Hearing this good news, Itagaki Kazuhiko's face showed joy, because this issue of "White Night Journey" still ranks first in various statistics, and it is the first in the gap. Now the second and third place combined cannot shake it. location.

On the one hand, the story of "White Night Walk" is really exciting. On the other hand, for Itagaki Kazuhiko, the great news is that the famous mystery reviewer Shinichi Chiba actually wrote a book review of "White Night Walk".

And it’s extremely complimentary.

Chiba Shinichi is very famous in the industry. After his recommendation, many people who love mystery novels became interested in "White Night Journey", so they went to the rental bookstore to rent old issues of the magazine, which further stimulated the interest of this issue. Magazine sales.

"White Night Journey" has been serialized to its tenth chapter, and there are still three chapters left before it will be concluded.

The editorial department is already busy preparing for publication. It is tentatively planned to print an initial print of 20,000 copies. If the copies are sold out, more copies will be printed.

Twenty thousand copies may not sound like a lot, but in fact, many mystery novels cannot sell this number. For newcomers, the first printing of 20,000 copies is already very good.

But if you want to sell a book more, it’s not enough to rely on book reviewers’ recommendations alone. Itagaki Kazuhiko must win the recommendation of more important people. The author's responsibility is to create content, and the rest is left to the editor.

For a novel, the most important recommender is naturally a well-known novelist.

Itagaki Kazuhiko took out a gift box from under his desk, walked to a female colleague, and handed the gift box with a smile: "Ms. Ozawa, I have been working hard recently. This is a handmade chocolate that I asked a friend to buy abroad. I can't If you want to eat something sweet, try it.”

Ozawa Anka took off her headphones, glanced at Itagaki Kazuhiko, and said, "Mr. Itagaki, you seem to be married, right?"

Itagaki Kazuhiko was stunned: "Ah, yes."

"Be careful what I tell your wife."

Itagaki Kazuhiko's face suddenly turned red and he threw the gift box on the table as if he was electrocuted. "You misunderstood. I want to ask you to do something."

"Just say it. What's the matter?"

"I want Mr. Miyano to write a recommendation for "White Night Journey". Can you please help me with Mr. Miyano?"

Ozawa Anxiang is the long-term editor of the famous writer Miyano Mika. Miyano Mika does not like to deal with outsiders. In the entire Spring and Autumn Society, Ozawa Anxiang and Miyano Mika are the most talkative.

Ozawa Anxiang shook her head: "Miyano-sensei doesn't easily make recommendations for others, and you know that."

After saying that, she scratched her face: "I remember that "White Night Journey" ranked well, do you need any recommendations?"

"After all, it is a new work by a newcomer, and it needs support from the seniors." Itagaki Kazuhiko sighed.

Ozawa Anxiang hesitated and said: "I have read that book, and I think it is quite good... But Mr. Miyano must have read the work when writing a recommendation. I can mention this to Mr. Miyano. , but it’s up to her to decide whether to write it or not.”

"Of course, thank you very much..." Itagaki Kazuhiko thanked him, thought for a moment and then said, "I will give you the entire manuscript later. Please give it to Mr. Miyano."

Self-discipline first day. . .
