Chapter 36: Worship Me as a Teacher
"Fujiwara-kun, please be seated."
Hirokami Fujii pointed to a chair and said, Kei Fujiwara sat down and asked, "Is there something wrong?" Fujii Second Chief. β
"Oh, young people nowadays are really good at pretending to be stupid, they know everything in their hearts, but they still pretend that they don't know anything."
Shinya Matsushita said suddenly, spreading the paper fan in his hand slightly, covering his mouth, and a laughing voice came from behind the paper fan.
"People who pretend to be stupid are usually shrewd people." Fujii Hirogami said with a smile, "Fujiwara-kun, you must have heard the news that the "My Illustrated Book" was cut in half, right? β
Kei Fujiwara nodded: "Yes, it's really very regrettable. β
"Regrettable? Where is the regret? β
"The show "My Illustrated Book" poured the feelings and hard work of all the staff, just like our children, the child dies, and any parent will be heartbroken."
Kei Fujiwara tried his best to answer as well as possible, and although he also hated the show so much, he still made a look of regret.
Is the work a child? Only Kei Fujiwara, who had just graduated in his previous life, would be so naΓ―ve. Today, Kei Fujiwara's attitude towards works is much more cold-blooded: works are products, and products should be discarded if they are not welcomed by the market.
But it's better not to say it.
"That's a good point, but Fujiwara-kun, if you really want to make a good show, it's not okay to be so emotional all the time." Shinya Matsushita said, "Whether it's a TV station or a production company, ratings are everything. Companies that look good will increase their investment, and those that don't look good will be cut in half...... It's not the company that's decided, it's the audience. β
"When the audience selects a TV show with a remote control, they don't think about whose child the show it is, and watch it with compassion. The audience will not have any sympathy for the show, and we naturally can't invest in such cowardly feelings, you know? Fujiwara-kun? β
"Taught." Kei Fujiwara bowed his head slightly.
"Yes, although you have a good talent, there is still a lot to learn......"
In the middle of speaking, Shinya Matsushita suddenly paused, turned his head to look at Fujii Hirogami, and said with a smile: "It's not the time to say this, right, Fujii-san, you continue." β
Fujii Hirogami smiled: "Yes, Matsushita-sensei, you are too anxious. β
Then, he continued to say to Fujiwara-kun: "Fujiwara-kun, in the workplace, value is very important, whether it is a show or a person. The program must desperately show its value, and the company and the TV station will pay attention to it; It's the same with people, people also have to show value, and their superiors will look at them with blue eyes......"
Fujii Hirogami picked up a teacup in front of the table, took a sip, and continued: "The "My Illustrated Book" just failed to show its value, so it will be cut in half; Employees who don't show value will be abandoned......"
Fujiwara Kei endured and did not make a "sneer" sound, but in this era, he is still sincere, and if he gives up, he will directly say that he will give up, and if he is expelled, he will directly say that he will be expelled, instead of inventing some new words such as "optimization" and "graduation".
"Many of my colleagues who have done the show with Kei Fujiwara must have left the company now, right?"
Fujiwara nodded and said, "Yes, I haven't seen them in a few days?" β
"It's not our original intention to give up employees, but we won't waste our labor budget on worthless people......" Fujii Hirogami sighed, and then looked at Fujiwara-kun and said, "Fujiwara-kun, do you know, in fact, you were also on the list of people who were terminated from the contract. β
Kei Fujiwara narrowed his eyes.
Fujii Hirogami still didn't see any of the reactions he expected from Fujiwara's face, panic, pleading, none of these expressions, which made his favor for this young man suddenly lose a third.
"But I crossed her name off the list...... "Hiroshi Fujii said slowly, "Do you know why?" β
Kei Fujiwara smiled: "Is it because Fujii Vice Chief discovered my value?" β
Hirogami Fujii frowned: "It's not me who discovers your value, but this Matsushita teacher next to me...... You've probably heard of his name, and it's impossible for anyone who works in the broadcasting industry not to know about Shinya Matsushita. β
"Of course I've heard of it, I've admired the name of Matsushita Sensei for a long time."
"Fujiwara-kun, I remember that your previous position in high skill was AD, right?" At this time, Shinya Matsushita spoke.
"Yes."
"Is Fujiwara-kun interested in being a screenwriter?"
Fujiwara paused, "I did think about it. β
"Sure enough, a person who is not interested in words will not write such an interesting script." Shinya Matsushita slapped his palm with a fan with a smile, "Fujiwara-kun, how about being my disciple?" β
Kei Fujiwara didn't speak, just looked at Shinya Matsushita fixedly.
"Look at this kid, he was speechless." Hirogami Fujii said with a smile, "That's right, Matsushita-sensei watched the giggle series you filmed and thought it was very interesting. Maybe your talent is more prominent in the text than in overseeing execution, and I think the position of screenwriter is more suitable for you. What do you think, Fujiwara-kun? β
Fujiwara Kei already knew what these two old dogs had in mind, and tilted his head slightly, "I do have the idea of becoming the main creative screenwriter, and I am confident that I can write a script that satisfies the audience." β
Fujii Hiroshi's brows are about to twist out the taiko knot, "Fujiwara, it is impossible for a newcomer to be the main creator directly, you have to start from the screenwriter's assistant, line screenwriter, episode screenwriter, step by step, and finally to the main creator." One step to the sky is a layman's delusion, I thought you were an expert. β
Shinya Matsushita smiled and patted Fujii Hirogami on the shoulder and said, "Don't mind, Fujii-san, young people always have a good imagination for the future." A screenwriter who doesn't want to be the main creator is not a good screenwriter. β
"But Fujiwara-kun, the road always has to be taken step by step. Screenwriting is not such a simple and taken for granted job, you still need to learn a lot to do. Writing a five-minute spoof dialogue versus writing a dozen episodes of a TV series of forty or fifty minutes each is not an order of magnitude at all, do you know? β
Shinya Matsushita unfolded the paper fan and fanned it slightly: "I have accepted nine disciples, and six of them have officially embarked on the road of screenwriting, if you are willing to study steadily, your brothers and I will give you all the help in your career path." β
As he spoke, Hiroshi Fujii pushed over a standard contract on the table, "Fujiwara-kun, Matsushita-sensei really values you, and for this reason, he even persuaded Kataoka to provide you with a long-term contract, you can take a look." β
Kei Fujiwara picked up the contract on the table, glanced at the key place twice, and then covered his face with the contract - he was afraid that he couldn't help but show a sneer.
It turned out to be a lifetime contract...... I have heard that Panasonic, the old boy Jiang Lang, is exhausted, and the disciples he received before can't write good works, and sure enough, now he has done whatever it takes to find a new gunman.
