Chapter 136: Dark Horses Are Just Dark Horses

The next day, the second episode of "Renzaburo Furuhata" was also broadcast on time.

The murderer in this episode is a kabuki actor played by a friend of Konoemon Matsumoto, who is also quite famous in the country.

Asahara Teruo sat in front of the TV, and after a short hesitation, he still watched this work.

He has also heard of the main creators of this drama, and it is the team that filmed "Long Vacation", especially the screenwriter of this drama, who has recently become famous in the broadcasting industry.

Kei Fujiwara, who wrote the phenomenal work "White Night Walking" under the pen name of Keita Sima a year ago, also won the Naoki Prize, becoming the youngest winner of the Naoki Prize, and the first work to win the award. The Naoki Prize is held twice a year, and there are dozens of recipients from all over East Asia who are still alive, but among all of them, only Kei Fujiwara has the most gold medal in his hand.

With the double buff blessing of the reward and the youngest rewardee, he stands out from the winner of a straight wood reward.

Naoki gave the award to a newcomer, I have to say, very bold, but also really smart. The effects of this approach were evident this year, when the Ranbu Awards announced their winners in May.

The reward is a court-style reasoning, which is not badly written, but it is still inferior to "White Night Walking".

The Ranbu Award is a pure newcomer award, but the Naoki Award is not, so under normal circumstances, readers will not compare the reward of the Ranbu Award with the reward of the Naoki Award, and it is a bit unfair to compare the works of newcomer authors and mature authors.

But this time the situation is special, because this time the winner of the Naoki Award is also a newcomer, which makes the reader feel at ease to compare.

It's not better, but I feel that "White Night Walking" is too much better than the other party. In this way, all readers will have the impression in their minds that the newcomer who has won the Naoki prize is stronger than the newcomer who has won the Ranpo reward.

Even if it is just for newcomers, the gold content of the Naoki reward suddenly exceeds the Ranbu reward.

It's just that Kei Fujiwara's latest work seems to be a little cold, and I don't know if it's Naoki's spell that works......

This person later entered the broadcasting industry and successively came up with three dramas: "Long Vacation", "Lonely Gourmet" and "Furuhata Renzaburo". It's a shiny dark horse.

What's even more terrifying is that he is only twenty-three years old this year, and he still has a long life ahead of his creative career. In the future, it may reach a high position in the industry.

Not long ago, "Renzaburo Furuhata" invited Teruo Asahara, but after some consideration, he still refused.

It's not because I look down on the future of this drama, such a young person must have the ability to come up with popular works one after another. What's more, this "Renzaburo Furuhata" is still the type of reasoning he is best at, and it must have attracted much attention, and the results should not be bad.

It's just that a dark horse is just a dark horse after all, and even if you have experience at the moment of your debut, in the real horse race, the one that is truly trustworthy is the one with rich experience and outstanding records.

Before it grows horns on its forehead and becomes a unicorn, it is only a mortal horse after all.

For example, the director of Tokyo TV Broadcasting TTV, Hidaka, this director is well-known in the broadcasting industry, and the dramas he has made have achieved very good results, and he is a frequent visitor to the Academy Awards. Among them, two dramas ranked first in the ratings of the year, and one of them also ranked ninth in the all-time ratings. Higher than "The Long Vacation".

His new drama sent an invitation to Asahara Teruo, and he will soon be filmed in the group. said that the broadcasting industry does not allow you to appear in multiple dramas at the same time, so after some consideration, I had to refuse Kei Fujiwara.

However, before rejecting the other party, Asahara Teruo's agent proposed a high salary of 5 million yen as a simple test. If the other party accepts, go directly to the reasoning drama, and the salary will rise from now on; The other party refused, and it didn't matter if he accepted TTV's invitation to make an appointment.

Although this practice seems more or less meritocratic and cunning, it may provoke the other party's disgust. But after some consideration, Asahara Teruo still acquiesced to the agent's approach.

On the same day, the director and producer were silent for a moment after hearing their salary request,

claimed to go back and discuss with the screenwriter. It stands to reason that the producer can make a decision on whether to agree to an actor's salary request or not. But their group is more special, and it seems that the young screenwriter is the core.

Later, the other party did not contact them again, and it is estimated that they could not accept such a high salary.

The offer of 5 million yen was rejected, although it was expected, but Asahara Teruo was still faintly disappointed.

Alas, this artist is really a low-paying industry, when will he be able to live a good life like Hollywood, USA. Now many of the TVs of ordinary people in the mainland are still black and white, and the actors' salaries are almost more than the original ones.

With such a sigh in his heart, Asahara Teruo poured himself a glass of white wine and laid a yoga mat on the floor, intending to do soft exercises while watching how the drama that was rejected by himself for a while was filmed.

He didn't watch the first episode, but he had already heard that the main actor of this drama was not a professional film and television actor, but the famous Kabuki actor Konoemon Matsumoto.

This person is very famous in the cultural world, and the house name of the Kabuki family [Hakuzuruya] is famous.

Five years ago, Matsumoto Saemon, Matsumoto Konomon, and Matsumoto Kantaro's father and son were famous for three generations at the same time, and the name raid conference held was a sensation, which is a pomp that ordinary artists can never put on a show. NHK and the five major commercial stations all went live broadcast, and countless citizens watched on the roadside, and the excitement was comparable to that of the Kanda Festival. It is a gorgeous pomp that ordinary artists can never put on.

Although envious, but this pomp is also earned by the century-old inheritance of the [White Crane House], the ancestors are blessed with shade, and the reincarnation technique is good, there is no way.

Asahara Terusheng said to himself in his heart.

But he still has some "expectations" for Matsumoto Konoemon's performance, after all, he is a stage actor, and he may not be able to adapt to the film and television drama at first glance, right?

Maybe Kei Fujiwara would regret it at that time, and he would have known that he would have promised Asahara Teruo a salary of 5 million yen.

However, after the feature film was played, after watching it for less than three minutes, Asahara Teruo knew that he was thinking too much.

As a stage actor, Matsumoto Konoemon is stable and has strong line skills, and in a black background, he tells the story like a storyteller.

After entering the feature film, Matsumoto Konoemon also played a personable and intelligent cunning detective very well. The game between him and the murderer is also very exciting, watching him set up a trap to make the murderer mess up and then collapse, and the audience also subconsciously has a pleasant feeling.

The murderer in this episode is a kabuki actor, which is funny, and the policeman, played by a kabuki actor, goes to arrest the kabuki actor in the play. And the actor who plays the murderer is also a kabuki actor himself, and he even uses his stage name in the play, which looks like Kei Fujiwara deliberately has a bad taste. Many viewers should smile when they see this.

But Asahara Teruo couldn't laugh, Matsumoto Konoemon was very charming in the play, although he was forty-eight years old, he didn't look old at all, and he looked like he was in his early forties. This may have something to do with his years of maintenance and exercise, I heard that this guy hasn't eaten rice for 20 years, as a person who loves rice in his genes, it's really not easy.

And this person seems to be a bit of a collision with Asahara Teruo...... If he decides to shift his career focus to film and television in the future, it will indeed pose some threats to him......

But presumably not, the [White Crane House] family business is huge, and the house number of [White Crane House] carries not only their personal family glory, but even the expectations of the entire society for the traditional culture, he wants to completely transform, and the audience does not agree.

Thinking of this, Asahara Teruo felt a little calmer, took a sip of wine, and continued to watch while posing soft exercises on the yoga mat.
