The next day, Kei Fujiwara came to the company as usual, and as soon as he walked into the studio, he found that his colleagues had strange eyes.

Kei Fujiwara greeted the people who saw it, and those people hurriedly bowed in response: "Fujiwara-sensei, good morning, you have worked hard!" ”

Fujiwara Keichi was stunned, when did these people become so polite?

Although Kei Fujiwara holds the position of chief planner in the main creative team, which is indeed a core position, because he is airborne and too young, some people in the working group more or less despise him.

But even if he despises it, he doesn't dare to show it, after all, he is the one who Yui Mizuhara personally found, and the disrespect for Kei Fujiwara is the disrespect for the producer.

And with Fujiwara Kei being a harmless young man on the surface, he is actually a calm old fox character on the inside, and if someone really can't get along with him, he is ready for a workplace brawl at any time.

But today the gang seems to have a special respect for him, unlike usual, what happened?

It is estimated that the ratings have reached a new high, and Kei Fujiwara secretly said in his heart, it seems that if you want to mix in the TV station, the ratings are king.

Kei Fujiwara walked into the conference room and found Yui Mizuhara, Hidei Hasegawa, Takaki Sasaki, and Taro Nishimura looking at something with their heads together.

Kei Fujiwara stepped forward and asked with a smile, "What are you looking at?" Let me take a look, too. ”

The four heads suddenly rose in unison and looked at Kei Fujiwara.

Fujiwara Kei's eyes fell, and he just landed on a book in Mizuhara Yui's hand, and his smile froze for a while.

Yui Mizuhara is holding a copy of "White Night Walking", and the title page also has the signature of "Sima Keita".

The scene suddenly quieted down, Fujiwara Kei looked at the book "White Night Walking" in front of Mizuhara Yui, and felt a little annoyed, he thought he could hide it for a while, but he didn't expect it to be exposed so soon.

I wanted to get along with you as an ordinary person...... Forget it, the showdown is ready.

"Fujiwara-kun." Yui Mizuhara asked in an uncertain tone, "Someone in the group went to the signing of "White Night Walking" and said that they saw you, and you are the author of this book?" Is that so? ”

Fujiwara Kei nodded: "Yes, I am Sima Keita." Writing novels was a hobby when I was in college, and I was surprised that I was able to sell well when I finished writing it. ”

Seeing that Yui Mizuhara and the others were silent, Kei Fujiwara added, "You don't have to worry about me affecting my work, this book was written by me before I entered Mizuami Productions. ”

"No, I didn't care about that, Kei Fujiwara, no one questioned your dedication to work......" Yui Mizuhara said, "I'm just a little surprised, I didn't expect you to have a talent for writing novels, it's still difficult to write mystery novels...... And I heard that it is very popular? ”

Fujiwara Kei smiled and said, "It's really selling well." ”

Nishimura Taro couldn't help but ask, "How much money can you make?" ”

Hasegawa Ei slashed a knife on the head of Taro Nishimura: "It's too rude, Nishimura!" ”

However, he also turned his head to look at Kei Fujiwara, as if hoping for an answer.

Kei Fujiwara touched his nose and said, "I have an agreement with the publishing house, and I can't disclose the royalties at will, sorry." ”

Income is a very sensitive matter, and Kei Fujiwara is reluctant to say it, and of course it is difficult to ask. However, they have heard that writers are very rich, and there is only a wall between the broadcasting industry and the publishing industry, and they often communicate with each other. I heard the copyright operation department talk about this novel, saying that this book is a dark horse bestseller this year, and it must make a lot of money.

Takaki Sasaki and others have mixed feelings in their hearts, Kei Fujiwara is the youngest of them all, but they have just graduated, and their careers have already done well, and they have even become famous writers, which makes them inevitably a little depressed.

Yui Mizuhara said with some annoyance: "I knew that you had the talent to write novels, so I wouldn't have let you do variety shows in the first place...... It's good to shoot the drama directly! ”

Fujiwara Kei said: "Miss Mizuhara, the budget for filming dramas is not comparable to variety shows. ”

"That's ......," muttered Yui Mizuhara, who had only become a producer for more than a year, and it was difficult for her seniority to apply for a budget that would be enough to make a good show. The dream of low budget and high return is better to do less, and it is easy to be stupid if you do more.

At this time, Yui Mizuhara raised her head and looked at Kei Fujiwara again: "Fujiwara-kun, do you mean that if I can apply for a sufficient budget, you can write a drama as popular as "White Night Walking"?" ”

Fujiwara Kei was stunned for a moment, and said very cautiously: "Miss Mizuhara, there is a certain element of luck in the best-selling of any work, and no one can guarantee it. ”

Yui Mizuhara pursed her lips and didn't speak again. Although she hopes that Kei Fujiwara can give an affirmative answer, of course she knows in her heart that the popularity of a drama is actually a small probability event, and there is a greater probability that it will be tepid or even hit the street.

There are no winning generals in the broadcasting industry, not to mention that there is a big difference between novels and TV dramas, and those who can write best-selling novels do not necessarily write high-rated TV series.

Those who promise lightly are mediocre, and Yui Mizuhara knows that Kei Fujiwara has a cautious personality and will not make any promises easily.

The main planner of the crew of "Human Observation" was a best-selling author, and the news soon spread throughout the production of water waves, and even the entire Fukuyama TV station......

Fukuyama TV.

Production Committee Meetings.

"You've seen this month's ratings report." On stage, Yoshida Kashi said that Yoshida Kashi looks like a silver-haired and kind old man, but in fact he is less than sixty this year. It can be seen that the television station is indeed a place of destruction, and people here age faster than in other places.

Yoshida Kashi was born as a producer, and he went from a crew clerk to a producer, and then to the deputy director and special manager of the drama department, and the director of the production bureau, and became the director step by step. Every step is very solid, although the workplace pays attention to the sequence of seniority and attaches importance to seniority, but in fact, there are thousands of people in Yoshida's contemporary, and there are only a handful of people who can climb to his current position.

Leaders like him, who are producers, often attach great importance to the quality of programs, and also agree with the theory that "ratings are everything", so in Fukuyama TV, as long as you can make a good program, you can get reuse and preferential treatment, but you don't have to put too much effort into personnel.

The senior leaders at the meeting each had a ratings report in their hands and were silent.

"The ratings for the whole month are not optimistic, and the prime-time programs are almost in the middle and lower reaches of the top five rankings." Yoshida Kashi didn't show any expression on his face, but the atmosphere in the entire conference room was very low.

"The ratings of such programs have been sluggish for a quarter, and since the end of "In the Name of Love", none of the departments in the station seem to have come up with any works that can attract audiences."

"Recently, I have observed in the station and found that whether it is the variety show department, the TV drama department, or the news department, the personnel lack fighting spirit. Are you really going to get by like this? Or ......"

"Fukuyamatai also has to adapt to the times and have a big layoff? Only the employees of various departments can understand the hardships of the enterprise, and can they know that the bubble that they can live a happy life without paying any price has long been shattered? ”

As soon as the words came out, the conference room was even more silent, and a cold air enveloped it in an instant.
