Tokyo Literary Godfather

Kei Fujiwara had a cold because he slept on the sofa all night. He sneezed several times on the way to work on the subway, causing people in the same car to dodge.

After arriving at the company, Kei Fujiwara immediately asked Yui Mizuhara to notify Aoi Kono and ask her to sign the contract.

"There will be another script meeting tomorrow, and the opening ceremony will be held the day after tomorrow. Time is tight, so keep everything simple." Kei Fujiwara said to Yui Mizuhara.

…

After Kono Aoi finished her interview yesterday, she was not idle today, but went to take a magazine cover photo.

She is not the only one on the cover, there are three artists in total, and the one standing in the middle is Kiko Araki.

Kiko Araki has been in the industry since she was 15 years old. Since becoming a regular guest on "Anthropological Observation", more and more people know her. Now that I have a relationship with Kenji Takada, I am even more confident that I am on the direct train to becoming a national idol. I have become more confident and look high-spirited.

After taking the photos, several people took a chartered car back to the company. On the way, Araki Kiko chatted happily with another artist, and the topics were nothing more than bags, jewelry, cosmetics, and gossip in the industry. Kono Aoi didn't know much about this, and couldn't speak much, so she could only turn her head and look out the window.

At this time, Araki Kiko's voice sounded in my ears: "Kono, what are you looking at?"

Kono Aoi quickly turned her head around, smiled and shook her head: "No, it's nothing."

"Kono, I heard that you went to interview for the crew of "Long Vacation"? How are you, are you sure?" Kiko Araki said with a smile.

"Not very..."

"You also know that that role was originally mine, so if you don't understand anything, you can ask me at any time." Araki Kiko said with a smile, "Speaking of which, why do you suddenly think of that crew, haha, you are following My steps?”

Kono Aoi shook her head: "No, because I like Mr. Fujiwara's novels very much."

Araki Kiko immediately rolled her eyes. This damn girl is still so inflexible. No wonder she can't become famous. She doesn't even know basic survival skills like flattery. I raised my butt up so much, you pretended you didn’t see it.

"Fujiwara, are you talking about the chief screenwriter? Don't think too much of him. This person is very difficult to get a job with. He has a lot of demands and is unkind. He said that my character is a pianist, and yet he asked me to It’s really annoying to learn piano fingering. How many actors can play the piano?”

Kono Aoi said: "I will."

"You mean... huh?"

Aoi Kono looked at Kiko Araki and said, "I studied piano for several years when I was a child. When I was in college, I occasionally taught children to practice piano."

"..." Araki Kiko looked at Kono Aoi and felt that this girl was becoming more and more unpleasant to her eyes.

The car suddenly fell into an eerie silence until the car reached its destination. Kono Aoi also became a little uneasy. She felt that Araki Kiko seemed a little unhappy, but she didn't know why.

After arriving at the company, Araki Kiko got out of the car and walked into the company. She suddenly turned to Kono Aoi and said, "By the way, Kono, do me a favor. I want to eat raw toast. Let's go to the restaurant I usually go to." Buy a piece from the store for me and bring it back."

Kono Aoi was stunned for a moment: "I...now?"

"Yes." Araki Kiko looked at her with a smile, "Can't you?"

Kono Aoi didn't dare to have any objections. This is how the entertainment industry is, especially within the same company. Popular artists in the company can use some unknown artists as maids, and the manager will turn a blind eye if he sees it. One eye.

That bakery is about five kilometers away from the company, and they obviously passed there just now when they were in the car...

Kono Aoi felt that Araki Kiko was deliberately making things difficult for her, but she couldn't figure out why. When she turned around and was about to go, Fukuyama Etsuko appeared.

"If you want bread, I'll ask someone else to buy it for you. Kono, go to Waishuibo Production now. The crew is very satisfied with you and decided to give you the role. You go and sign the contract now."

Kiko Araki frowned unhappily, then quickly put on a smiling face: "Congratulations, Kono."

Then I tossed my hair and left. It was just a role I didn’t want, and I treated it as a treasure...

Kono Aoi quickly signed a contract with the crew of "Long Vacation" and then began script meetings. Kei Fujiwara found a way to let everyone experience the role, and even asked Mizuhara Yui to lend a piano to the program team of the music program early. Let several people who play the role of pianists familiarize themselves with the instruments.

Of course, it is impossible to let them learn it now. Instead, let them learn some basic fingering techniques and then dub them later.

You don’t even need to learn too much fingering, and not all piano playing shots require panoramic shots. At that time, we will hire someone who can play the piano and has good-looking hands to shoot a set of piano-playing shots at close range, and then cut them into the main film.

However, Aoi Kono can actually play the piano, which is an unexpected surprise for Kei Fujiwara.

Kono Aoi played several of the world's most famous piano pieces in public. Her playing was very fluent. Although it was not as good as a master's, this level was more than enough for playing in a piano store or teaching children.

After the song, everyone burst into applause. Kono Aoi was a little shy and stood up to bow to everyone.

"Very good, but if this is the case, I should revise the storyboard script appropriately, and try to let you play as many scenes as possible." Shibazaki Hideaki said thoughtfully.

"Ah, I'm sorry, have I caused you any trouble?" Kono Aoi said with some fear.

"This is not a trouble..."

Yui Mizuhara smiled in Kei Fujiwara's ear and said, "This kid is a bit dull."

"This kind of personality may be easily bullied." Kei Fujiwara replied, "During this period, I found that there are already old people in the group who bully newcomers by showing off their seniority. Not long ago, I heard that a clerk was bullied during a party. The incident of sending wine to the hospital happened. You should find an opportunity to warn those people. If something like this happens again, don’t cooperate with us and let them go to other groups to make a living."

"I understand." Mizuhara Yui nodded.

The start-up ceremony was also officially held. The crew set up a altar to worship the ancestor of Japanese artists, Izumo Akun. After a simple ceremony, Shibasaki Hideaki began to guide the shooting of the first shot in the studio.

The content of the performance in the first scene is relatively simple, just to be able to go through it one by one, for auspiciousness, and hope that the filming of the whole drama will go smoothly.

After the opening ceremony, everyone had a brief opening banquet, and the crew of "Long Vacation" officially started!

At the same time, Kenji Takada's new drama also held a launch ceremony and officially started filming.

The name of his new drama is "Tsukihime", which sounds quite interesting. Interior scenes were also shot at the Tokyo headquarters' photography base. Mizuhara Yui often saw his disgusting face at Fukuyama Terrace.

The filming of "Long Vacation" began in full swing, and everyone's working hours were extended to the maximum extent. Under the high-intensity work, Hideaki Shibasaki, who had always been calm and temperamental, became hot-tempered and got angry at every turn.

This is a normal phenomenon during the filming of Japanese and Korean dramas... From the director to the screenwriter to the producer, everyone is like a hot monkey. High construction schedule pressure is the main reason.

Japanese and Korean dramas are filmed and broadcast at the same time. Once a problem occurs and delays the process, it may lead to a major broadcast accident, so everyone in the creative team feels like they have a sword hanging above their heads.
