Chapter 203: What an independent director
After "Lucky" was broadcast, the audience in the screening room applauded. It's a very good short film, the audience said in their hearts, all the elements of a successful movie are there: the idea and the plot, although the ending feels a little rushed, but it is already a very good movie.
Some of the censors who watched silently mentally gave the film a high score. After the movie ended, Tetsuya Iwai appeared, began to answer some questions from the audience, and started a discussion session.
Seeing that the audience had a lot of enthusiasm for this film, he also felt joy in his heart.
He reshot and re-edited this "Lucky" to increase the duration, and he was confident that it would move the audience more than when it was screened on campus.
After the discussion, by observing the expressions of several audience members who were obviously reviewers, he knew that his work would definitely score no less in their hearts, so he breathed a sigh of relief from the bottom of his heart.
He unfolded the film timetable in his hand, his eyes swept up and down on it, and then his gaze stayed on the words "Suddenly Looking Back".
The screening started at four o'clock in the afternoon, and Tetsuya Iwai suddenly had a heart of comparison in his heart, he wanted to see if this talented screenwriter in the TV drama industry could still be so vigorous in the film field.
"Don't underestimate the movie......" Tetsuya Iwai muttered. By one o'clock in the afternoon, Kei Fujiwara had already watched four movies, one feature film, and three short films, and his head was a little swollen when he saw it.
Originally, Kei Fujiwara was a lover of standard commercial films and liked to watch them
"Looking for a cat" type movie, but due to the lack of director experience and not used for business, personal films are often whimsical and less entertaining, although there are some good films, but they look tired.
In contrast, Iwai Tetsuya's "Lucky", which I watched at the school festival before, is much better.,Although it's still a little immature.,But you can see that the movie has rules to follow.,Entertainment and depth are there.,It's worthy of being from the academy.。
Although he is not very old, he is very skilled in technology. After two more years of training, if you have a good book for him, you may be able to make a good movie.
Fujiwara Kei said in his heart, and suddenly fell in love with talent. Nagaji Ohno also walked out of the screening room, rubbed his mountain roots, touched his stomach and said, "I'm hungry, let's go have lunch." ”
"There is a restaurant nearby, and it tastes good." Kei Fujiwara said. Kei Fujiwara is also half a foodie now, having eaten half of Tokyo under the leadership of Nobutoshi Takagi, and the nearby restaurant Takagi brought him to eat just last month, and Kei Fujiwara plans to use it when filming the second season of "Lonely Foodie".
As the strongest shopkeeper of this era, the store he visited became a popular tourist attraction the next day.
So although "Lonely Foodie" is over, the TV station always receives letters from various stores, hoping that the program team can come to their store to shoot when the second season is filmed.
"Lonely Gourmet" has not yet planned to shoot the second season, mainly because there is not enough manpower, and in addition to taking turns to shoot the Yuejiu drama, there is no manpower to shoot another night drama.
So Kei Fujiwara has recently been considering co-shooting with the production bureau. Kei Fujiwara and Nagaharu Ohno went to the nearby restaurant and sat at the table in the corner, Nagaharu Ohno ordered pork chop rice and Kei Fujiwara ordered eel rice.
At this time, a lady's satchel was placed on the table next to Fujiwara Kei, Fujiwara Kei subconsciously turned his head to look, only to see a woman with a good temperament who had done it, looking thirty-six or seventeen years old, but very well maintained.
Fujiwara glanced at her, she was wearing European luxury brands from head to toe, the bag on the table alone was the price of a car, and only the leather shoes on her feet could not tell the brand, but according to Fujiwara Kei's experience, it should be more expensive private custom.
This outfit feels incompatible with this small shop that sells rice bowls, but the woman is very familiar with ordering the scallion roast beef rice, and can chat casually with the clerk, so she should come here often to eat.
After a while, a man also walked into this restaurant, and the man sat opposite and looked around.
"Is this what you're talking about as the best restaurant in Minato?"
"Yes, would you like to taste it? It's much more delicious than kaiseki or caviar. ”
"Haha, then troublesome Miss Kamiya recommended it to me." The middle-aged man said.
"Special Manager Shirai?" Kei Fujiwara heard the voice and called out loudly. The man turned around and saw Fujiwara Kei stunned for a moment, then stood up,
"Fujiwara-sensei." Kei Fujiwara smiled and shook his hand. The man's name is Eiji Shirai, and he is a special director of the film and television production company Matsuri Pictures, which is also the film and television company responsible for the production and distribution of "White Night Walking".
The two met not long ago, Fujiwara Kei sold the film and television adaptation rights of "White Night Walking", and when he went to Matsuhi Pictures, in view of Fujiwara's current status in the broadcasting industry, Eiji Shirai personally entertained him.
And the woman sitting opposite Eiji Shirai, Kei Fujiwara finally recognized it, it was Momoka Kamiya.
He is a professor at the Faculty of Letters at Waseda University and a very famous writer and literary critic. Not long ago, he also wrote a review essay on "Homeless Child", which caused a sensation among readers, and in the article, Kei Fujiwara also praised it.
Although Kei Fujiwara is also a writer, he is a reasoner, and unlike Momoka Kamiya, he has never met each other, but he has heard each other's names.
"Fujiwara-san, long admiration." Momoka Kamiya also recognized Kei Fujiwara at this time and stretched out her hand.
"Mr. Kamiya, I read your previous article published in "Call of the Wild", and it was very moving, I didn't expect you to have such a past." Momoka Kamiya said: "It was also inspired by your work, "Homeless Child" is a very good TV series, and I am very much looking forward to the second season. "Then you can't look forward to it.
Kei Fujiwara said in his heart.
"This is ......" Eiji Shirai looked at Nagaharu Ohno, the person who sat down to eat with Kei Fujiwara should also be an insider, right?
"This is my friend, Nagaharu Ohno, who is now an independent director."
"Hello, good luck." Eiji Shirai smiled and shook hands with Nagaharu Ohno, but he didn't pay much attention to it in his heart.
Eiji Shirai has seen a lot of independent directors and these people who call themselves film writers, but many of them are forced to be independent because they are not able to hire large film and television companies and are unwilling to start from basic positions.
Isn't there a saying that young people in their twenties who don't have a job tend to fantasize about themselves as writers.
When the young man gets an 8mm camera, he claims to be an independent director. At this time, Eiji Shirai suddenly remembered something: "Are you here to attend the film festival?" Are there any works on display? Kei Fujiwara smiled and nodded, "That's right, the work I collaborated with Ono-san is one of the works exhibited at this film festival." Ohno-san is in charge of supervision, and I am in charge of screenwriting. ”
"Really?" Eiji Shirai was a little surprised, he didn't expect Kei Fujiwara to also participate in this film festival as a creator, it seems that he can't treat PEER as an ordinary newcomer exhibition in the future, maybe there will be an old man like Kei Fujiwara who suddenly wants to come to play across borders.
"What's the name of the work?" Momoka Kamiya suddenly asked. At this time, Fujiwara Kei saw the work badge that Momoka Kamiya was wearing around his neck and asked, "Is Kamiya-sensei a reviewer of the film festival?" Momoka Kamiya nodded: "Yes, although I am not an industry insider, but because I have published a lot of film and television reviews, I was invited to be a special guest audience this time." Fujiwara Kei turned his head and looked at Eiji Shirai again: "Is it the same for Special Manager Shirai?" Eiji Shirai said, "Yes, I was also invited." Fujiwara Kei said: "Since this is the case, then I can't tell the two of you, so as not to be suspected of going through the back door." After all, Ohno's goal and I are to win the first prize from PEER. ”
