Chapter 350 Song of Bamboo

""Song of Bamboo"?" Fujiwara Kei looked at Imai in surprise. How did he know?

He has no intention of making a name for himself in the music industry, because he really doesn't know much about music theory, and his level is very limited. Professionals can reveal his secrets by just asking him a few questions.

It's like a poet who can write "Shui Tiao Ge Tou" and "Will Enter the Wine", but if he doesn't even understand the meaning and style of the poems, others will tell at a glance that he copied them.

Therefore, whenever Fujiwara Kei comes up with any songs, he will put them on his mother's head. Anyway, my mother has withered many years ago, and this is not a bad thing.

Kei Fujiwara remembers that his mother in this world was a music teacher and had composed many songs, but unfortunately, it was rare for her works to become popular, and her mother was not able to achieve this achievement.

But now Imai came over and asked Fujiwara Kei to sing the entire "Bamboo Song" with sincere words.

"What is "Song of Bamboo"?" Arima Guixiang on the side was also very curious.

"Well... it was a work created by my mother during her lifetime." Kei Fujiwara said, "She wrote some songs during her lifetime. This song tells people to have a strong character like bamboo and not be afraid of difficulties."

"I never thought that my aunt could write songs! It's really amazing!" Arima Keixiang's eyes lit up, "Sing it for us!"

As soon as these words came out, everyone at the table also looked over, and some people even booed and clapped. The atmosphere had been heightened to this point, and it seemed that it couldn't end without singing, and Imai's camera was also pointed at him.

Fujiwara Kei coughed and began to sing: "The wind is blowing from the mountain..."

After singing the song, the people around started to applaud. In fact, even if Kei Fujiwara sang a song "Learning to Meow", these people would have the same reaction. Although the songs are good, they are not like in the novel, where everyone is silent after listening to a song and is shocked and speechless.

What's more, Kei Fujiwara sings a cappella without accompaniment, so the appeal is naturally much smaller. Some people were so drunk that they couldn't quite hear what Kei Fujiwara was singing - it didn't matter what he was singing, just applaud.

However, some people with deeper musical attainments have different sounds and feelings. For example, Arima Katsura, who comes from a family of singing and dancing, and Imai, a music enthusiast, immediately felt that this was a rare and good song!

Fortunately, it was recorded... Imai thought.

"That sounds good..." Keixiang Arima pinched the flesh on Kei Fujiwara's arm subconsciously, "How many things are you hiding from me..."

"Send me home today, I tell you..." After whispering, Fujiwara Kei said to Imai with some embarrassment, "I'm sorry, please tell the producer to cut this part out and don't broadcast it."

Naturally, he was referring to the intimate interaction between Kei Fujiwara and Keika Arima. Imai nodded in agreement.

Inoue Mori kept a straight face again and did not look at Fujiwara Kei and Arima Keika from the beginning to the end, showing that it was annoying.

After "Song of Bamboo" was sung, another half hour passed before the banquet came to an end. And when everyone walked out of the restaurant drunkenly and arm in arm, more than half of the people were singing "The Song of Bamboo."

The song was catchy, and the lyrics were very motivating. Plus, it was sung by Kei Fujiwara. Soon, everyone in the crew started singing it.

Imai just put away the equipment at this time, said goodbye to Kei Fujiwara with the accompanying director, and the group walked out of the restaurant.

…

Itagaki Kazuhiko came to the crew in person. He came here today not as the editor of Kei Fujiwara, but on behalf of the editorial department of Spring and Autumn Society.

He was promoted again and became deputy minister. It is estimated that he will become the director of the editorial department of Spring and Autumn Society within five years. The former director will be promoted again because of his outstanding performance in the past two years. The remaining carrot hole will be left to Itagaki Kazuhiko.

Chunqiu Society is also one of the investors in the movie "Confession", and Fujiwara Kei also handed over the manuscript of the novel version of "Confession" to Itagaki Kazuhiko. The novel will not be serialized, but will be published directly.

The publication time is set around the fifteenth day after the movie is officially released. It can also take advantage of the popularity of the movie to gain traffic and increase sales.

The movie "Confession" itself is adapted from Kanae Minato's novel. It is one of the few adapted movies that is as good as the original work. Most of Kei Fujiwara's previous TV series did not consider adapting them into novels to make money. The reason is also very simple. Novels and TV series seem to have the same goal, telling stories, but in fact there are barriers between them.

It is not easy for a well-known novel to be adapted into a movie or TV series and become a hit, such as "White Night Journey". Similarly, if a film and television work is adapted into a novel, it may not be popular with readers.

Works such as "Naoki Hansawa" and "Confession" are exceptions. They have original novels themselves, so Kei Fujiwara will consider publishing them in the publishing market.

After Kazuhiko Itagaki came to the crew, he observed the shooting scene for a while and asked his assistant to take a few photos. After returning, he just had to say good things to the senior management of the agency, so that the senior management would have more confidence and feel that the money was well spent.

Anyway, he must be helping Fujiwara Kei to speak. The two of them have been together so far, and they can be called close friends, not to mention they are an out-and-out community of interests.

Every time Kei Fujiwara earned money, the Itagaki family would have one more dish for their three meals a day. Before the publication of "White Night Journey", the Itagaki family could only eat high-end ingredients such as matsutake mushrooms, wagyu beef, and sea urchin almost once a week. Now it’s possible to serve an expensive dish almost every day.

After today's shooting, Kei Fujiwara took Itagaki Kazuhiko directly to a tavern for a drink. "Kui, don't you think about writing a new novel?" Itagaki Kazuhiko said semi-pleadingly while drinking: "Recently, the publishing house often receives letters, I hope You can publish another novel, and magazine sales seem to have declined recently.”

"Hmm..." Kei Fujiwara thought for a moment, but did not give an answer.

"Recently, the mystery literature market has become hot again." Itagaki Kazuhiko said, "Why don't you write a new work, just to maintain the popularity. In this way, after "Confession" is released, your readers can still spontaneously engage in research for you. Publicity, isn’t that great?”

Fujiwara Kei really felt that these words made sense, so he nodded: "I'll go back and think about it."

After returning home, I could hear the noise inside through the door. When I opened the door, I saw Arima Keixiang humming a song and doing something in the kitchen.

Fujiwara Kei had a headache. This guy must not develop any interest in cooking. You don't have the talent to be a housewife!

"Ah, you're back." Arima Keixiang said immediately after seeing Fujiwara Kei, she took one to play with, scooped something into the pot, and then handed it to Fujiwara Kei.

"This is..." Fujiwara Kei hesitated.

"Gulled wine." Arima Katsura said, "Masai drank it and he said it tasted good."

Now that someone had tried the poison, Kei Fujiwara felt more relieved, took the wine bowl, and drank it all in one gulp.

It's sweet and sour, has a strong fruity aroma, and tastes good. Kei Fujiwara smacked his tongue and finally made something delicious.

But I can’t drink too much. I just drank outside, and if I drink again after returning home, I will inevitably be a little overwhelmed. Fujiwara Kei asked Arima Keika to sit down, and then he lay on the sofa with her lap on his pillow. Last year's Kohaku Utakarakai was playing on the TV.

"This year's Red and White Song Festival lineup is also very strong, right?" Kei Fujiwara asked casually.

After all, it is a Spring Festival Gala program, which brings together almost all the outstanding singers and idols in Japan, and even some singers from other countries will be invited.

Unexpectedly, Arima Keixiang shook her head: "No, this year's invited guests are much sluggish compared to last year. Many commercial stations have also begun to launch their party programs on this day to compete with NHK. Woolen cloth."

"By the way, there is one more thing." Katsura Arima suddenly said, "The producer of the Kohaku Utakai is very interested in my aunt's "Bamboo Song"."
