Chapter 209: Let's come to the film industry
Kei Fujiwara hadn't taken a few steps before a group of reporters surrounded him. Although Kei Fujiwara did not come to the stage to accept the award, because of his popularity and the fact that his screenwriting work won the commendation conference award, many reporters focused their interviews directly on him.
"Mr. Fujiwara, congratulations on winning the commendation conference award for "Suddenly Looking Back".
"Thank you very much, thank you for your support."
"This seems to be your first film, and we wondered, is this 'Suddenly Retrospective' your experiment? Do you have any ideas for the film industry in the future? "Since the fact that the screenwriter of "Suddenly Looking Back" is Kei Fujiwara, it has also been discussed by many film critics and reporters recently.
Fujiwara Kei's love for cross-border things has been declared far away.,Originally, it was just an ad for a variety show.,Later, I wrote it across the border.,And then I crossed back to the broadcast world to do TV dramas.,Repeatedly jumping horizontally in different industries.,But they all did a good job.。
There are lessons from the past, so it is not so strange for this man who fell from the sky to jump sideways into the film industry.
"For the time being, I just want to focus on TV shows." Kei Fujiwara said,
"I don't have any idea of getting involved in the film industry anytime soon."
"And what about after that?" The reporter asked without giving up,
"Do you have any ideas for creating a film in the future?"
"I'll talk about the future." Kei Fujiwara also didn't want to announce his career plan in front of reporters, so he said perfunctorily.
With that, Kei Fujiwara directly squeezed out of the crowd and accelerated away with a brisk pace.
"Fujiwara-sensei, please stay." He hadn't gone far when Eiji Shirai stopped him behind Kei Fujiwara.
Fujiwara Kei turned around: "Shirai-san? ”
"Is it convenient to have a light meal with Overseer Ohno in the evening?" Eiji Shirai asked with a smile. It seems that Eiji Shirai should have something to discuss, he is the real power of a large production company, and his professional status is higher than that of Kei Fujiwara.
Moreover, Matsunichi Pictures is also one of the founders of Fukuyamadai, which is equivalent to the parent company of Fukuyamadai.
His invitation, Fujiwara Kei inconvenient to refuse. And there is no reason to refuse, a figure close to the third-in-command of a large company is also a valuable connection.
There are five major TV stations and five major film production companies, and Matsuri Pictures is one of them.
But don't get me wrong, not all TV stations have five major productions behind them.
"Of course, I'll contact him." Keido Fujiwara. After Nagaharu Ohno and the reporters finished their tricks and walked out of the theater, they were directly intercepted by Kei Fujiwara.
"Where to go?" Nagaharu Ohno asked.
"Eiji Shirai, please eat, I guess I have plans to recruit you." Kei Fujiwara said, adding, "Shirai is the managing director of Matsuhi Pictures, mainly responsible for the production of films, and has real authority to approve the budget and a certain amount of personnel power, so he is the real power of the special director. ”
"Oh." Ohno nodded. After a while, Fujiwara Kei took him to a traditional Japanese restaurant, and as soon as he walked in, a woman in a kimono came with a gust of incense: "It's Fujiwara-san, Shirai-san has been waiting for a long time." Kei Fujiwara nodded, followed the woman directly, and walked into a small box, and before the door opened, he heard the sound of playing the shamisen inside.
After opening the door, Eiji Shirai was already waiting inside. When Eiji Shirai saw the two, he stood up and shook hands with the two one after another: "Fujiwara-sensei, Supervisor Ohno, congratulations to the two of you for winning the award." ”
"Thank you." Kei Fujiwara replied with a smile. In the box, there is a woman in a kimono, playing the shamisen expressionlessly on the front, and her eyes do not glance at it casually, acting as a human flesh stereo.
Metropolises really like to use people like machines...... Fujiwara Kei said secretly in his heart, and then he didn't look at her anymore and continued to greet Eiji Shirai.
"Do you want to continue making movies in the future?" Eiji Shirai asked directly. Ohno Nagaji pondered for a moment, nodded and said, "If there is a chance." ”
"Or is it an independent film?" Shirai Eiji waved his hand, and the waitress beside him poured wine for the three of them.
"IMHO, independent filming, although it also has certain merits, is more free, and can give the director more room to play. However, the model of small budget and small team is difficult to make big achievements after all...... If Overseer Ohno is interested, he can come to Matsuri Pictures to work. ”
"Can I have my own directing work if I go?" Kei Fujiwara asked with a smile. Nagaharu Ohno asked questions that were inconvenient for him, so he asked them.
Eiji Shirai shook his head: "Not really. Mr. Fujiwara, please understand, after all, capital is afraid of risks, and it is unsettling for the company to let someone with no experience in directing feature films be the main director. Although "Suddenly Looking Back" is a good film, it can't be completely reassuring......" Eiji Shirai raised his glass and took a sip,
"However, if Ohno-san is willing to come to Matsuri Films, I am willing to give you the position of first assistant director, as long as you can prove your ability, you will have the opportunity to direct your first feature film in two years, what do you think?" In the film crew, there are four levels of assistant directors, from the fourth assistant director to the first assistant director, the fourth assistant director can only do some miscellaneous work, and the first assistant director can directly participate in the supervision work.
Ordinary newcomers enter the set, and if it goes well, it will take two to three years to move up each level, and it is even possible that they may be stuck at a certain stage.
It's very rare to be able to join the crew as a first assistant director from the beginning, especially for a large film production company like Matsuhi.
If Eiji Shirai promised
"After two years, you can independently direct your own film" is true, and for most people who have the ideal of directing, the conditions are very favorable.
Fujiwara Kei didn't express his opinion anymore, this still has to be decided by Ohno Nagaji himself, he is to engage in independent films, and then find a large company to distribute it; Or go directly to the production department of a large company as a contracted director.
Ohno Nagaji thought for a moment and said, "Mr. Shirai, let me think about it for a while. ”
"Haha, of course you can, you think slowly." Eiji Shirai didn't mind either, and said with a smile.
"What about Fujiwara-sensei? Are you interested in movies? Eiji Shirai suddenly turned his head to look at Kei Fujiwara and asked with a smile.
"Me? I'm a TV drama writer. Kei Fujiwara replied.
"The gap between TV dramas and movies is always smaller than the gap between TV dramas and literary works." Eiji Shirai said,
"Maybe Fujiwara-sensei can also make a difference in the film industry."
"I lend you a good word. But at the moment, I can't do it all at once, and I will do a good job of TV shows first. ”
"Understand, understand......" The three of them chatted while eating, during which Eiji Shirai always shifted the topic to the movie from time to time, explaining that although the current situation of this movie is difficult, as long as it survives this battle, it may break into a world and so on.
Looks like he's trying to drag Kei Fujiwara into the water. Kei Fujiwara just smiled, and when it came to this movie, I thought I had seen a lot of it......
