"I'm sorry, Fujiwara-kun, but your work didn't pass the serialization meeting......"

Magazine Scream! The editor of "Cheer", Miss Hanayama, called, who had left a copy of "White Night Walking" and admired Kei Fujiwara's novel, but in the end the editorial office did not take her advice.

"I see, anyway, thank you for the trouble."

Having been rejected too many times, Fujiwara Kei is now very peaceful, and he remembers a saying in his previous life: Licking a person is licking a dog, and licking a hundred is a wolf.

In fact, this wolf warrior mentality has shifted from chasing girls to job hunting and submission.

"In fact, Fujiwara-kun, your writing ability is recognized by our editorial department, the reason why this article did not pass the serialization meeting is because of the subject matter and the style of our magazine, if you have other works, I still hope to consider our publishing house."

"Okay, Miss Huashanyuan, I'm bothering you."

After hanging up the phone, Hideko Hanayamain sighed.

This "White Night Walking" is a work she likes very much, and she has not seen such talent and aura in a newcomer for a long time.

She submitted the manuscript to the team leader, who seemed to be very satisfied, but was rejected by the deputy editor at the actual serialization meeting.

There are two main reasons for the veto: the socialists and the newcomers. The deputy editor contacted a well-known writer and planned to give the magazine a vacant page to that person, but there was really no room for a new person's work.

And he's a newcomer to writing social reasoning, and this guy obviously hasn't studied the market!

The chief editor didn't have time to read "White Night Walking", so he directly adopted the opinion of the deputy editor, and in desperation, Huashan Yuan had no choice but to throw the manuscript of "White Night Walking" into the shredder.

"It's a pity...... the female editor sighed in her heart.

……

It's been two days, and Kei Fujiwara hasn't heard anything from Kazuhiko Itagaki.

Fujiwara Kei's mentality is quite stable, and he can't help but call to ask, but he still takes out his BP machine from time to time to take a look, for fear of missing any calls.

The sky gradually darkened, and Kei Fujiwara was also ready to get off work, and at this moment, the BP machine "Didi" sounded.

Fujiwara Kei hurriedly picked up the BP machine and looked at it, and was a little disappointed, it was Tanaka calling.

Kei Fujiwara called him directly from the phone in the store, and after a while, Tanaka's voice came: "Fujiwara, is it convenient to talk now?" ”

"No problem, what's wrong? New listings? Kei Fujiwara asked.

"It's not about the house, Fujiwara, let me ask you, do you have a formal job now?" Tanaka asked, adding, "Don't say you're a freelance writer, that's all an excuse for being vagrant." ”

"I'm doing odd jobs at a bookstore right now, what's wrong?"

"I have a job in a production company here, as an AD (assistant director), are you interested?"

Kei Fujiwara clipped the phone receiver between his cheeks and shoulders and began to look for pen and paper, "Which company?" ”

"The name of the company is Gaoli Production, which is a shareholder of Fukuyama TV, and it is mainly for them to make programs. It has been established for more than four years, and the business volume is very stable, and as far as I know, the financial situation is relatively good. ”

Tanaka found it quite clear, as if Kei Fujiwara was not looking for a job, but like he was going to buy the company.

"Where did you get the news?" Kei Fujiwara asked.

"I am a full-category intermediary, part-time talent intermediary and marriage intermediary, you can also find me if you want to find a girlfriend, and I have resources for long-term and short-term choices."

"What about the salary?"

"180,000 yen, not including performance bonuses, sign a short-term contract, you can also pay it on a daily basis, but the salary is slightly lower."

"Now there are very few open recruitment positions for both NHK and the five major people's releases, and now except for some core time programs, in most cases, TV stations will ask production companies to produce programs for them, and there will be a large amount of personnel expenses left."

"Of course, if you do well in the production company, you will get a long-term contract, and then not only will the salary go up a notch, but you will also get a long-term contract."

In this company, the club will not fire employees easily, and many people will work in the same company until they die all their lives.

Kei Fujiwara's previous life can be seen in Yumoto's workplace drama. In the plot, whoever loses in office politics will be assigned to a branch in a bitter cold and remote area, and he will not be fired. And employees will not resign because they have been assigned.

Therefore, most of them say that the source of their sense of security is the long-term employment contract of a large enterprise.

Kei Fujiwara is not very interested in long-term contracts, perhaps because of the arrogance of the time-travelers, but feels that long-term contracts will limit the future.

However, it seems that it is not so easy to get into a big production company and get a long-term contract.

And Kei Fujiwara really needs a job right now.

Whether "White Night Walking" can be qualified for serialization has not yet been determined, and even if it does get serialization, the manuscript fee is not enough to survive in Tokyo.

The manuscript fee of a serializer is mainly divided into two parts, one part is the manuscript fee paid by the magazine to the writer during the serialization period, according to the number of pages, one page is more than 3000 yen, and as a new author, Fujiwara Kei can only get a maximum of 3000 to 4000 figures.

Based on the volume of a book of 400 pages, it means that the income of the whole book is only about 1.2 million yen.

The serialization of a book often takes a year and a half, and the average annual salary of the person in this era is 4 million yen, and he only survives on the manuscript fee of the magazine during the serialization period, and the writers of the book will starve to death.

Therefore, the bulk of the writer's income is actually the royalty of a single book. As for film and television copyrights and peripheral income, it is too far away for most writers, and the most practical thing is the sales of single books, which determines their real income level.

It takes seven or eight months for a book to end its serialization and go on the market for the first time.

You can't put your eggs in the same basket, so why not go back to your old job while trying to become a writer?

Thinking of this, Fujiwara Kei said, "Thank you very much, Tanaka-kun." ”

He paused, "The intermediary fee ......"

"I see that it's not easy for you now, so the cost of introducing jobs will be waived." Tanaka said, "But the production company is in Minato-ku, so you always have to rent a house around there, right?" I have to introduce to you, the cost of the real estate agent is still calculated at 70%. ”

"Thank you, Tanaka-kun."

"You're welcome, I'll give you a call, you can contact them yourself, and come back to me if you have any questions."

Kei Fujiwara casually found a piece of paper and recorded the phone number given by Tanaka.

After calling, it was a woman who answered the phone, and after a brief communication with Fujiwara Kei, the two agreed to meet at half past eight tomorrow.

Suddenly, the work was settled, and although there was no news about the manuscript, a boulder in Fujiwara's heart fell to the ground, and when he walked on the road, he felt that even the drunks who scolded the street on the side of the road became cute.

Early the next morning, Kei Fujiwara got up early, put on his most decent outfit, and headed for Minato-ku.

Kei Fujiwara doesn't come to Minato Ward much, and after getting off the train at the station, on the way to the production company, Kei Fujiwara casually looked at the pedestrians around him, and the people here were all dressed up in a very fashionable sense. Just pick up a passer-by and let him stand in front of the red wall and take two photos, both of which can take a blockbuster.

In the 90s, Tokyo was considered the fashion capital of Asia at that time, and the people in Minato Ward were at the forefront of fashion in the whole of Tokyo. Tokyo's film and television companies are concentrated in Minato-ku, which ranks first in terms of revenue every year among all wards in Tokyo.

Follow the map, and after a while, you will come to a high-power production company.

He was received by a chubby woman, who was a company personnel with the surname Murakami.

The content of the interview is very simple.,It's nothing more than asking some qualifications questions.,Fujiwara Kei Art University Video Imaging Department is about to graduate.,There's no problem with academic qualifications.,Although there is a lack of work experience.,But Fujiwara Keiichi worked in vain.,Miss Murakami was stunned.。

"That ......," Murakami said with some embarrassment, "I'm a human resources, and I don't know much about professional issues." ”

Gotcha, dance for the blind!

"That's right, for newcomers with less experience, we only offer short-term contracts for the time being, you can take a look."

Fujiwara Kei glanced at the contract, and as Tanaka said, the monthly salary of 180,000 internships is divided into large and small salaries, and there will be performance awards, and the monthly salary will be directly paid to the household.

"Fujiwara-kun, I want to remind you that the work of AD is very hard, and you are still a student, so you may not be able to adapt to the heavy work schedule for a while......"

Kei Fujiwara glanced at the contract, and confirmed that it was a two-day system, and couldn't help but sneer in his heart, hum, where do you think I crossed over, and you told me that it was hard?

"I can take it."

Three days later, Keito Fujiwara resigned from Ono Shoten.

……

"Here, Fujiwara-kun, this is your salary for this time." Nagaharu Ohno handed over an envelope.

"Thank you." Fujiwara-kun took the envelope, suddenly stunned, the thickness of the envelope didn't seem quite right, Fujiwara Kei pinched the envelope with one hand and glanced at it, looked at Ohno Nagaji and said, "Ohno-kun, it doesn't seem to be so much." ”

"The extra one was given to you by the old man, and he said you were a good lad." Ohno Nagaji looked out the window and suddenly sighed, "Whether it's you or Kono, all of them are living with blood, which makes me a little ashamed......"

Fujiwara Kei looked at the money in the envelope, hesitated for a moment, and said, "Thank you for your kindness, I won't shirk it, and I am very grateful to Ohno Bookstore for helping me." Ohno-kun, take care. ”

"Take care, by the way......" Nagaharu Ohno looked at Kei Fujiwara and smiled, "In case, I said in case, if you kid really becomes a writer, you must remember to tell me." ”

"I will."

Kei Fujiwara walked out of the Ono bookstore when the BP machine rang.

Itagaki Kazuhiko.
