Chapter 380 Three Royal Families in the Media Industry

Although screenwriters with rich experience are good, they also have a disadvantage, that is, the creative style has already been formed and cannot be changed. Moreover, Japanese screenwriters generally do not have strong dramatic conflicts in their writing. Of course, this may also be due to the light taste of Japanese audiences, but this kind of drama is destined to be ignored overseas.

Since Fujiwara Kei hopes to take into account both internal and external aspects, he must change this status quo. Inviting famous screenwriters to join the company is too costly and difficult to train. So what if you are Kei Fujiwara? Creators are all proud. Just because you have good grades, do you want me to listen to you all?

Therefore, a new screenwriter is more suitable for the current water wave production.

There are only a few channels for finding new screenwriters, such as recruiting at graduation guidance centers or going to major liberal arts colleges or training classes to recruit talents. However, the people recruited often cannot be used directly, and many new writers have poor writing skills. I can barely write the story according to the three-act pattern and the combination of inheritance and transformation, so holding a screenwriting competition is also a good way.

Just like the novel world has various award events such as the Ranpo Award, the Naoki Award, and the Horror Novel Grand Prix, the screenwriting industry also has awards for new screenwriters, the more famous of which is the Young Screenwriter Grand Prix. Shiraishi Monet participated in this competition at the beginning, but he failed to get any ranking.

Every year, this Screenwriting Grand Prix can discover several newcomers to become professional screenwriters. There are only a few such screenwriting competitions in the country, so Kei Fujiwara plans to have such an award.

The top ten have the opportunity to get a job as a screenwriter, and the top one can directly become the main screenwriter, and all have generous bonuses.

Just do it. Fujiwara Kei went directly to Yoshida Kashi and explained his views to him.

Yoshida Kashi does not object, although he feels that as a production company, holding a grand prix is ​​more or less unprofessional, not to mention that the production company is not a media and has no publicity channels. If it wants to promote an influential grand prize The game is still a bit difficult.

Just like many awards in the domestic literary and art circles, the sponsors behind them are the media, and most of them are paper media, such as magazines and newspapers. After all, print media is deeply immersed in Japanese society and has strong financial resources. Don’t think that selling paper doesn’t make money. Many newspapers can sell millions of copies a day, and a publishing house often has multiple newspapers and magazines under its umbrella, making money. What's more, they are actively investing and have tentacles all over the media industry.

In the era when the Internet was not yet popular, TV, radio and newspapers were the three major players in the media industry, and newspapers were the oldest and most senior among the three. So much so that newspapers were responsible for investing in many TV stations, so many TV stations were behind the scenes. There is a faction called "Newspaper Sect".

"In terms of media power, Yoshida doesn't need to worry." Kei Fujiwara said, "Both NHK and Spring and Autumn Society have in-depth cooperation with me now, so it shouldn't be a big problem to get them involved."

"Well, I see. From this point of view, this matter is indeed feasible." Yoshida Kashi nodded. He knew Fujiwara Kei's importance in the novel world. He is now the favorite of the entire Spring and Autumn Society and is regarded as a favorite by the senior management of the society. Well, not to mention cooperating with them to hold a screenwriting competition, even a bikini contest, and Kei Fujiwara offers to be a judge, they will seriously consider the feasibility of this matter.

Not to mention in the broadcasting industry, since leaving Fukuyama Station, both the five major broadcasters and NHK have regarded him as a partner for in-depth cooperation. Since Yoshida Kashi became the vice president and head of the operations department of Mizuha Productions, he thought he would accompany the company through a difficult period. Unexpectedly, all five major private broadcasters came to contact him and were willing to invest in the next new drama produced by Mizuha Productions. But there are conditions, it must be a script written by Kei Fujiwara himself.

As a screenwriter and writer, Kei Fujiwara is indeed invincible, but Mizuha Productions cannot only have him as the main screenwriter and produce his own drama. If this is the case, this cannot be called a production company. It would be more appropriate to call it a personal studio.

At first, Yoshida Kafumi was worried that Kei Fujiwara planned to turn Mizuha Productions into his personal studio. Even if he was very capable, if he regarded the company as a stage for displaying his personal abilities, the company would not be destined to have much success. promising. Now that Kei Fujiwara has proposed to find more new people to join the company, Kafumi Yoshida is secretly happy. It seems that Kei Fujiwara does have the intention to turn Mizuha Productions into a world-class production company.

It seems that the idea that Fujiwara proposed to him in the hospital room to expand the cultural industry overseas was not an empty talk.

"By the way, Yoshida, how are you doing lately?" Kei Fujiwara asked.

"It's not bad, maybe because I had a good rest before officially joining the job, and my appetite has increased recently." Yoshida Kashi said with a smile and patted his somewhat round belly.

Fujiwara Keidao: "Heart problems are not a trivial matter. You have to pay more attention to them. Just leave many of the heavy tasks to your subordinates instead of doing everything yourself... By the way, do you usually carry emergency medicine?"

Yoshida Kaishi took out a small bottle from his arms and said, "Take this heart disease pill. I will take one when my heart feels uncomfortable."

Fujiwara Kei stretched out his head to take a look, and casually wrote down his name with a piece of paper. He planned to buy more of this drug later, so that Yoshida Kashi's secretary and assistant and other places near him would be prepared to have this drug, just in case there was something like that in the TV series. It's like having a heart attack and finding out there's not a single pill in the bottle.

Of course, the name must be written down in front of Yoshida Kashi. Now that Fujiwara Kei is the president, it is his turn to make a gesture.

"Thank you, Fujiwara, for your trouble." Yoshida Kashi said with a smile.

Kei Fujiwara and Kashi Yoshida get along very harmoniously and harmoniously. In fact, before recruiting Kashi Yoshida, Kei Fujiwara was hesitant, fearing that both he and Kashi Yoshida were in the trap. Because I was the president before, I couldn't accept the change in status, and I felt nervous during the work process. However, after actually getting along with me, I found that I was overly worried. Yoshida Kashi is indeed a person who has been the director of a major TV station for decades. He has an extraordinary mind and is dedicated to this job of re-employment after retirement.

Now everyone in Kei Fujiwara's team is busy with their own affairs. Kei Fujiwara is naturally working on new programs and editing the Grand Prix; Kashi Yoshida and Yui Mizuhara are busy with company affairs; and a series of releases of the new movie "Confession" All work, including connecting with theaters, was handed over by Kei Fujiwara to Ono Nagaharu.

Recently, Ohno Nagaharu has been too busy to touch the ground, and he is gradually showing signs of overwork and obesity. His previously lean torso and somewhat sunken cheeks have gradually become plump.

Shiraishi Monet's contract was transferred effortlessly, and the process was very simple. Kei Fujiwara didn't even approve the new director, so he went directly to the personnel department's specialist to solve the problem.

Of course, as a high-level person in the human resources department, Owada was also very concerned about the fact that half of the Yuejiu team stayed at Mizuha Productions. He was worried about Kei Fujiwara trying to gain leverage, so he did not readily agree at first, but said half-jokingly. .

"Oh, Mr. Fujiwara has taken a fancy to the talents of Fukuyamadai again. You are making things very difficult for me as a human being."

Fujiwara Kei knew what he was thinking, and he waved his hand nonchalantly at that time and said: "As I said, wasn't it that the production bureau forced Shiraishi to be my assistant at the beginning? Speaking of which, this little girl's fate with me is Fukuyama. The Taiwanese actor is the one holding the line... Actually, I didn't ask her to write a script for me. Hehe, I have other uses, this..."

Manager Owada instantly understood that Shiraishi Monet and Fujiwara Kei had hooked up.

I remembered that Shiraishi Monet was the only screenwriter Fujiwara Kei had ever collaborated with, and that this woman was also quite pretty. The more I thought about it, the more reasonable it became, and the more I felt that this was the case.

If Kei Fujiwara wants to hire someone from Shiraishi Monet because he is a potential screenwriter, Owada may not really agree, but if he just wants a C-cup woman, that's still easy to say.

But speaking of which, wasn’t Kei Fujiwara already with Keika Arima not long ago? Getting tired of it so quickly? Forget it, for Japanese writers as a group, this kind of behavior is actually normal.

So Owada readily agreed.

…

Another week has passed and "Underage Advocacy" has been officially aired.
