Tokyo Literary Godfather

Therefore, although Chai Zhiling is calm on the surface, she is actually under a lot of pressure inside. This time she is making a desperate move. The chips she and Shui Bo make this time are completely unequal.

If this TV series fails, Shuibo Productions will at most be a little unsightly in appearance... and it may not even be unsightly. After all, the work is not for the local market, and it is normal for it to be rejected by the public. Even a little manipulation of public opinion will make people think that the people from Taiwan Central Television did not film well and wasted a good script. The impact on Kei Fujiwara's own reputation is not great.

What Chai Zhiling will face will be the accountability of the company's senior management, the disappointment of her seniors, and the ridicule of her juniors. It is estimated that she will have to remain silent in this company for another ten years. Even considering that she has offended a big shot before, she will not be directly driven out of the company. impossible. Taiwan is not like Japan, where every family implements a lifetime employment system - not to mention that Japan has also begun to abandon lifetime employment.

Sigh... Chai Zhiling couldn't help but sigh in her heart, and prayed silently in her heart, hoping that this would be a good script like "Blue Life and Death".

Chai Chiling read the script in Okada Juri's hand. There were two lines of large characters on the cover of the script: "Boys Over Flowers" and "Meteor Garden".

Two scripts? Chai Zhiling was a little confused when she saw these two names.

Okada Shuri knew what was going on, and when she saw Chai Zhiling's slightly confused look, she immediately explained: "It's like this. After President Fujiwara finished writing the script, he felt that both names were suitable for this drama. Which one to choose depends on Chai. It’s your personal decision, miss.”

"Oh, that's right." Chai Zhiling nodded, feeling slightly disappointed.

In fact, she hoped that Kei Fujiwara had written two scripts for her to choose from. After all, although she agreed to Shui Bo's request to accept the script unconditionally, she was still a little uneasy inside.

What if she is really dissatisfied with the script, or feels that the story is really not suitable for Taiwan? According to the contract, she couldn't refuse, so she had no choice but to invest money in the filming. By then she would have lost all her money, and her professional future was aborted along with the production funds.

If two scripts were written for her to choose from... at least there would be room for choice.

She suddenly regretted it... she felt that she was a little too impulsive and agreed to the other party's somewhat unreasonable request for cooperation. I wish I had known I should have talked about the conditions earlier.

"According to your request, Miss Chai, you want us to provide a script for a trending drama. The main audience is young audiences and female groups in Taiwan. The themes are love, youth and growth... Haha, it seems that the audience in Taiwan has different opinions. The taste of the drama is also very similar to Japan. President Fujiwara carefully thought about your request, and this is written based on your request."

"Well……"

Although Chai Chiling cannot choose the script, she can make requests, such as what kind of story she wants, what style, what kind of background, and what kind of audience she wants. Chai Chiling actually didn't have much idea about the story. If she had known very well what stories the audience wanted to see, she would have written it herself, and there would be no need for her to come to Tokyo to accept the "overlord's terms" imposed by Shuibo Productions.

But she is very coveted for "Blue Life and Death". The influence of this drama is now not only in Japan, but has spread to Taiwan, South Korea and even mainland China, and its influence continues to this day. This drama also has a place in mainland China’s pirated disc market...

Of course, she also knew that with the meager budget she had, it was impossible to restore the beautiful visual effects in "Blue Life and Death", let alone the male protagonist's costumes, which almost changed several sets of fashions in one episode.

So when she originally proposed that "I hope it can be a trend drama on the same level as "Blue Life and Death"" and "our budget is not big, only about one-third of "Blue Life and Death"", she couldn't help but feel Some blushing. One third of it was because she intentionally said more.

But when Juri Okada summarized the requirements, he did not raise any objections, nor did he feel anything was wrong. He just summarized exactly what Chai Chiling said.

Chai Zhiling made other requests, such as "Taiwanese youth dramas sell better. I hope the protagonist can be younger, preferably with a campus background." Sad" and so on.

This is also a requirement made by Chai Zhiling based on her professional vision, because after "Blue Life and Death" became popular, the genre of bloody tragedy also became popular. The market's ability to imitate is very strong. Not only Japan is imitating and planning to film a lot of love tragedies, even Taiwan has the same reaction recently. So Chai Chi-ling doesn't plan to get together and film another love tragedy. After watching too many tragedies, the audience's tears will not be so easily deceived.

After making a bunch of requests, Chai Zhiling added one more thing, "If President Fujiwara has any different opinions, his creative plan should be the main one."

As Party A, Chai Zhiling is not strong - or in other words, she is not qualified to be strong. She also knows that in the field of script creation, she is a small shrimp compared to Kei Fujiwara. If there is a real disagreement, it is better to follow the other person's ideas.

However, after Kei Fujiwara received the request, he didn't seem to raise any objections. Within a month, Juri Okada called Chai Chiling and said that the script was written.

After receiving the call, Chai Zhiling flew to Tokyo overnight. While marveling at the speed of script creation, Chai Zhiling couldn't help but feel a little worried:

The script was written so quickly. Could it be that President Fujiwara was perfunctory with me?

Even if you write and shoot at the same time, it will take more than four months to write the entire script. Now instead of writing and filming at the same time, Kei Fujiwara has plenty of time, but he only wrote for less than a month? Could it be that because I'm a company from Taiwan and I'm a low-key person, you don't take me seriously?

Chai Zhiling regretted signing the overlord clause more and more.

Okada Zhuli didn't seem to notice Chai Zhiling's disappearance, and opened the script on her own, and introduced the plot: "Ms. Love story. The story originated from an aristocratic school - Yingde College. This college was founded by the four major families to train outstanding successors, so many rich people will send their children to this college for training. And The descendants of the four major families are the students with the highest status in the college, and are called: F4 by other students..."

Zhuli Okada spit, and Chai Zhiling became more and more desperate when she heard what she said—what a nonsense plot! Return to the four major families! Is there any political aspect involved?

It is simply not the same style as Kei Fujiwara's previous works. Whether it is "Naoki Hansawa" or "Long Vacation", or "Blue Life and Death", the background of the story all pays attention to a real and natural background. But what the hell are the "Four Great Families" and "Noble Academy"! No matter how big the family is, they will not temporarily set up a school just to let their children go to school! The children of rich people will also be sent to places like Harvard or the National Singapore!

Kei Fujiwara, he really is perfunctory me!
