Tokyo Literary Godfather

This phenomenon has also shocked the cultural world. When a famous Taiwanese writer was interviewed by reporters during a book signing, he said sourly: "It seems that F4 is the most popular writer in Taiwan. Just hold your clothes in your mouth and pose in front of the camera. Those of us who write with pens are out of date."

These words also resonated. Some people said that this crazy pursuit of idols is a manifestation of distorted social concepts, but some people also criticized these remarks wildly. Although the Internet was underdeveloped at this time and the channels for ordinary people to express their voices were limited, most fans also had their own ways of expressing themselves.

Many people wrote to the publisher where the writer worked, expressing their dissatisfaction with the writer's remarks.

Some people's words are quite mild, saying that they think you shouldn't say that, teacher. Photos of celebrities are not the same as ordinary publications and cannot be compared with works.

Some people directly cursed and used filthy words, and even picked out some of the incorrect remarks made by the writer to criticize him.

The writer who always kept his mouth shut only felt that the fans of these celebrities were more difficult to deal with than the cunning politicians, so he had to shut up for a while.

The popularity of F4 in Taiwan is also evident. Shuibo's artist management department quickly sent more people to Taiwan and recruited local agents in China to take charge of business in the Chinese-speaking region.

Kei Fujiwara has expressed his optimism for the cultural industry in Chinese-speaking regions more than once in internal meetings. His subordinates naturally remember every word of Kei Fujiwara, so the artist management department has also begun to pay attention to its layout in Chinese-speaking regions.

"Meteor Garden" has just finished in Taiwan, and broadcasting platforms from various countries and regions have already approached it, hoping to broadcast this TV series. If it can be broadcast in one more place, it will have one more revenue channel, and the F4 fire can also spread to one more place.

Shuibo and CTV were naturally happy to see the success, so less than a week after the TV series ended, they signed broadcast contracts with TV stations in various places. This drama will be broadcast in Hong Kong, China, Macau, Thailand, Singapore, Vietnam, South Korea, Japan and other places very soon.

Among them, Japan is the fastest to broadcast. Because of Shuibo Production, there is not even much discussion and adjustment with local TV stations.

In the end, "Meteor Garden" was broadcast on East Island TV Station because East Island TV Station could give the TV series the best time slot, which was the 10 o'clock time slot on Saturday nights.

Generally, when foreign TV series are broadcast locally in Japan, they can only be broadcast in the late night time slot, such as 11 p.m. Most of the good time slots should be reserved for TV series produced by oneself. Not only because the revenue sharing is higher this way, but also because local TV series are more in line with the audience's aesthetic taste.

There are so many TV dramas being produced and completed by other TV stations that they cannot be arranged in schedules. Naturally, it is impossible to allocate a good time slot to a Taiwanese TV series, even if the TV series has performed very well locally. But Dongdao Channel doesn't have this concern... It has few programs to begin with, so in order to prevent the time slot from going blank, it always broadcasts some cartoons repeatedly. It would be a good thing to enrich our program list.

Dongdao TV Station is even willing to use broadcasting resources to run a few more advertisements for this TV series to promote it.

"Victory is Justice 2" and "Meteor Garden" are also the only TV series produced by Shuibo Productions to be broadcast this fall.

This also made the entire broadcasting industry breathe a sigh of relief.

Although both scripts were written by Kei Fujiwara himself, he was not deeply involved in them. "Victory is Justice 2" I heard that Kei Fujiwara wrote that his old partner Shibasaki Hideaki wanted to return to Mizuha Productions just to exchange things for people, and then he stopped caring about the show. Moreover, this drama will be broadcast on Yuejiu. Now that Yuejiu is still famous, I didn't plan to compete head-on with it, so I didn't consider it.

As for "Meteor Garden", it is broadcast on Dongdao Channel at 10 o'clock, avoiding the prime time slot. The audience base is relatively small, and it is a Taiwanese drama, so it cannot compete effectively.

Therefore, although Kei Fujiwara has two works released this quarter, he has avoided the main battlefield.

Everyone secretly breathed a sigh of relief. This autumn, they finally no longer had to face that beast!

With the extremely dazzling performance of "My Sassy Girl", the market is now extremely optimistic about the drama "Infernal Affairs".

When the two movies "My Sassy Girl" and "Confessions" were just released, in order to win high-ranking films, the creative team and the people responsible for movie marketing kept inviting the managers of major theaters to dinner, and there were people on the wine table. I drank so much that my stomach bleeds. But now, there is no need to lower your posture like this.

No theater will fight against high box office. As long as the screening results are good, Mizunami Productions does not need to say hello at all. In view of Kei Fujiwara's two previous films, major theaters will respond with high-scheduled films. After all, who can have trouble with high box office?

What's more, the film's distributor is Dongzhen Pictures, one of the top five, with sufficient theater and promotional resources to support it.

As a result, the posters and trailers of "Infernal Affairs" once again entered the audience's field of vision. Since "My Sassy Girl" was released less than two months ago, the lingering power is still there. Many viewers heard about this new movie. The movie and "My Sassy Girl" are written and produced by the same company, so I was naturally interested.

The cast is also extremely strong, with Miyata Takaharu and Nagasawa Ken, both powerful and idol figures, naturally attracting audiences who value the cast.

No matter in terms of resources, main creators or cast, the movie "Infernal Affairs" has top-notch configurations and can be called luxurious. Taking out any one of them will make the market have high hopes, and it has them all, so even if the content is still completely unknown and no one has seen it, some organizations have made predictions in advance that this movie will once again exceed 10 billion. .

Soon, the screening of "Infernal Affairs" was officially held.

The scale of this movie is larger than that of "My Sassy Girl". As a distributor, Dongzhen also tried to find ways to give it enough exposure and invited countless big names, which also made Kei Fujiwara sigh from the bottom of his heart. If you rely on yourself, many of these people will be difficult to recruit.

Even though Kei Fujiwara himself is a legend who rose to fame in just five years and reached the top of the industry, there is still a gap between him and established clubs like Dongzhen in terms of connections and influence...

The screening was very successful, and the audience's reaction to the movie was within Fujiwara Kei's expectations. They were very satisfied with Fujiwara Kei's new work. Of course, the film critics who came to watch the movie did not appear to be overly excited, and had the effect of having their pupils dilated after watching the movie - mainly because their expectations were high, so the excitement of "Infernal Affairs" was actually within expectations.

The editor-in-chief of "Japanese Filmmaker" was invited again this time. This time he once again predicted that the movie will reach a box office of 20 billion.

This time no one thought the results he gave were exaggerated. Mainly because his prediction of a box office of 1.2 billion in the last movie really came true.

Before the screening was over, Miyata Takaharu answered a phone call and frowned frequently.

"Who is it?" Kei Fujiwara asked casually after hanging up the phone.

"It's the crew..."

Needless to say, I am definitely talking about the crew of "Victory is Justice 2". Fujiwara Kei smiled: "It seems that you are anxious. Let them relax. I won't keep you for too long. I will give you time to return to the team for filming."

"That's not what you're talking about..." Takaharu Miyata said, "It seems that the crew is going to revise the script again... and will follow your original version, Mr. Fujiwara, and delete Sato's extra scenes."

Fujiwara Kei raised his eyebrows and seemed not too surprised.

"That's it." Fujiwara Kei sighed, and suddenly a sentence came to his mind: "The gifts given by fate are always marked with a price in secret."
