Chapter 133: [White Crane House] Anniversary Celebration

At six o'clock in the afternoon on Sunday, Kei Fujiwara arrived at the Kabuki Performance Theater in Shinjuku, Tokyo.

"Hakutsuruya" is very famous in Tokyo, and there are many people who come to watch it on the day, and there are many people from the media who come to watch it.

There were many congratulatory flower baskets stacked outside the theater, and Hideaki Shibasaki and Yui Mizuhara were not able to be there, so they also bought flower baskets to celebrate.

"Today is the 10th anniversary of the famous Kabuki artist Konoemon Matsumoto's accession to fame, and people from all walks of life have expressed their congratulations, and many celebrities have been present in person."

Hearing the standard broadcast tone, Fujiwara Kei subconsciously looked at the reporter who was talking in front of the camera, looked at the logo on the microphone in her hand, and recognized it as an NHK reporter.

From here, you can see that the influence of [White Crane House] in the cultural circle of this country is great, NHK is a national media, and they have come here to report in person, which is like a folk performance group in China holding an anniversary celebration, and as a result, the central government and TV sent people to interview.

This is almost unlikely, but it also shows that Yuben attaches great importance to national art and culture.

Kabuki is a traditional performing art that has been preserved to this day along with Noh and Kyogen. It is regarded as the quintessence of the country, and both the official and the private sector attach great importance to it. Together with Peking Opera in China, it is known as the "sister flower of traditional oriental arts".

Kabuki originated in 1603 and was founded by the beautiful Izumo Akuni, who was known to women and children. She was originally a shrine maiden of the Izumo Taisha Shrine in Shimane Prefecture, and she created her own "Tilting Dance", which was very popular and was regarded as the founder of Kabuki.

In the beginning, there were both men and women who performed kabuki performances, but later on, there were often cases of guests and female performers colluding, and in order to please the kabuki artists, they even did not hesitate to abandon their wives and children, which had a very bad impact on society and attracted the dissatisfaction of the common people.

In order to put an end to this kind of absurdity, the major theater companies began to deliberately eliminate female actors, and in the end, the roles were performed by men, both male and female, and women were almost eliminated from Kabuki performances.

After Fujiwara got out of the car, he saw a group of reporters looking for celebrities in the crowd as if they had electronic eyes on their heads, and when they saw a familiar face, they rushed up to do an interview.

Kei Fujiwara had no choice but to put on the hat and mask that had been prepared, and after getting off the bus, he walked straight to the theater, fortunately not being noticed by the reporters.

Fujiwara Kei lit up the ticket outside the door, and was taken directly to the VIP seat on the second floor by the doorman, where you can sit on a high place and watch, with an excellent view.

"Fujiwara-sensei, you're here too." A familiar voice sounded, and Fujiwara Kei looked up to see that it was Yoshida Kashi. Next to Yoshida Kashi sat a woman in her forties, wearing a pearl necklace around her neck, with an elegant and noble temperament, and she could see that she was a beauty when she was young.

This is the wife of Director Yoshida, who is more than ten years behind Yoshida Kashi, and the two are a model couple, very affectionate. People in the broadcasting industry, especially the high-level of TV stations, are very easy to come into contact with beauty, and there are many temptations in life, and Yoshida Kashi, as the director of the station, is usually willing to take the initiative to give hugs to many people, but I have never heard of any peach incidents in this person.

Even Yui Mizuhara said that Director Yoshida is a decent person, and thanks to his exemplary role, the atmosphere in Fukuyama Tai is okay.

Fujiwara Kei bowed slightly: "Director Yoshida, you're here too, what a coincidence."

"Yes, Mr. Arima is a good friend of mine, and I also received a lot of help from his father, Kantaro Matsumoto, when I was younger." Yoshida Kashishi said, "It seems that Fujiwara-sensei is also interested in Kabuki, so why don't we watch it together."

With that, Yoshida Kashi said to the secretary sitting next to him, "Sakamoto-kun, please change seats with Fujiwara-sensei."

"Yes." Secretary Sakamoto stood up and asked politely, "Fujiwara-sensei, may I ask you to sit ......?"

Kei Fujiwara handed him the ticket directly, and then sat next to Kashi Yoshida.

Maybe it was because he didn't regard himself as a subordinate mentally, but Fujiwara Kei didn't feel any uncomfortable, but sat on a chair and chatted with Yoshida Kashi.

"The ratings of "Renzaburo Furuhata" are very gratifying, and the results of "The Lonely Gourmet" are also excellent, worthy of Fujiwara-sensei." Yoshida Kashi praised.

"Don't dare to be, no

It's my own credit, Miss Mizuhara, Shibasaki, and the newcomer Mr. Kobayashi all put their most effort into their work, but I'm the most relaxed in comparison."

"The best students in a class are often not the hardest-working." Yoshida sighed, "Talent is sometimes the most difficult thing, I remember when I was studying, there was a short guy in the class who came first in every exam, but every day after school he would go to play baseball for two hours. I went home as soon as I got out of school, but my grades were not as good as each other's. That was the most painful lesson of my life, which was realizing the horror of genius."

"You've won a prize." Kei Fujiwara bowed slightly.

"Well, if I could, I'd love to keep working with Fujiwara-sensei."

However, Kei Fujiwara just smiled this time and didn't take a stubble.

Regarding the contract signed with Fujiwara Kei, Yoshida Kashi actually has a trace of regret in his heart. But what I regret is not the gambling treaty and the sharing rules, it's just a big deal to give more money, anyway, the biggest benefit is the TV station.

Yoshida regretted that he had only signed a two-year treaty with Kei Fujiwara.

In fact, when he signed Kei Fujiwara at the beginning, Yoshida Kashi was only a temporary love for talent, but he didn't think he could come up with such amazing works. At that time, he thought that this young man had just become famous, and his confidence was unprecedented, and he felt that he was invincible, so he signed a short contract first.

Give him two years, let him be frustrated, and when he recognizes the reality, his mood has cooled down, and he has more screenwriting experience, it is not too late to sign a long-term contract with him, and he can also appropriately reduce the conditions.

But the result was unexpected, and he began to regret his decision a little. Even in the middle of the night, I regret tossing and turning and having trouble sleeping.

I knew that this guy was so angry, no matter what he said at the beginning, it didn't matter if he was stalking, or if he came up with more generous conditions, even if he fell in love with the female anchor in the station, he had to let him sign a contract for a few more years, five years to build a foundation, and ten years was the best.

It's only been two years, and it's heart-wrenching!

"It turns out that you are Fujiwara-sensei, so it's better to see than to hear." Mrs. Yoshida was in arrears at this time, and crossed Yoshida Kashi and said to Fujiwara Kei with a smile, and stretched out her hand, "I have read the book "White Night Walking", and I like it very much, can I shake your hand?"

"Of course." Kei Fujiwara said, and reached over as well.

The two of them sat on the left and right sides of Yoshida Kashi, reached out and shook it, Yoshida Kashi took a deep breath and put away his bulging belly so that the two could shake hands.

"I've long heard that Fujiwara-sensei is young and promising, and after seeing me, I only feel more handsome than the legend." Mrs. Yoshida smiled and said, "Does Fujiwara-sensei have a girlfriend?"

Fujiwara smiled, "Not yet."

"It's weird, there must be a lot of girls like you like it."

Yoshida said, "Fujiwara-sensei has several works to create at the same time, and it is normal for him to be so busy that he has no time to worry about emotional problems."

"Well...... Mrs. Yoshida said, "I wonder what kind of girl Fujiwara-sensei likes?" I can help you observe the right girls, women can see women more clearly than men."
