Chapter 304: You eat the meat, and I carry the pot
"Have you seen the movie? I'm not mistaken, I don't think the box office will exceed 1.5 billion...... It's a good idea to be able to reach that number." Nagaharu Ohno said, then took out his cigarette and shook it in front of Katsura Arima, "Arima, do you mind if I smoke?"
Arima Katsura glanced at Kei Fujiwara: "Do you want to smoke it too?"
Kei Fujiwara shook his head, "I don't smoke."
Katsura Arima said, "I mind a little."
Nagaharu Ohno reluctantly stuffed the cigarette back into the cigarette case.
"What is your expected box office for White Night Walking?" Kei Fujiwara asked.
Nagaharu Ohno replied: "This film is very popular, and when the senior management came to visit the class, I heard them say that it seems that the box office is expected to be 2 billion, after all, the production budget of this film is not low, but I think it is difficult to achieve."
"Not necessarily." Arima Guixiang said that she is the main agent, and if the film does not perform well at the box office or even loses money, she will be held responsible, and may even have to apologize publicly - "I'm sorry, it was my poor performance that made this film not visible to more audiences, wasting the efforts of the staff for months", this kind of thing often happens.
Speaking of this kind of thing, Ma Guixiang feels that it is a little unfair, a movie and TV series are a big hit, and it is often the directors and screenwriters who eat the most and eat the most deliciously; And once the results are not as expected, the main actors have to take the lead in apologizing, and the biggest responsibility is theirs, what is this called......
Although Kei Fujiwara is not an artist, he also feels that this kind of thing is very unfair. This phenomenon is diametrically opposed to China thirty years later. In Kei Fujiwara's hometown, some fans say that a big sale of a film is the actual achievement of their idols, and if the plot is ugly, it is the pot of the director and screenwriter, and it has nothing to do with the actors......
It is estimated that Ma Guixiang will drop her jaw when she sees such a scene, and she can't think of this kind of thing. Maybe you'll think you're looking for someone to pretend to be a fan and hack yourself.
However, this situation is also a deformed product in the process of rapid development of the entertainment industry, and it will inevitably be adjusted over time, and in the two years that Fujiwara Kei has traveled over, he has seen changes.
Whether it is the actor who carries the pot, the main creator eats meat; is still an actor who eats meat, and the main creator carries the pot. Fujiwara Kei thinks it's unreasonable, power and responsibility are unified, and the person who benefits the most should bear the biggest pot once the results are not as expected, which is right.
Even Kei Fujiwara will bluntly say to the actors and creators at every new drama planning meeting that if the results of this drama are not as expected, he will take the greatest responsibility as the core creator, so that the actors can act without any psychological baggage.
Every time Kei Fujiwara said this, the actors were moved. But gradually, I found that Kei Fujiwara was talking "empty words" every time, because his main works have never exceeded expectations and have never disappointed. Therefore, his previous promise was more like a way to express confidence than to take responsibility for his subordinates.
Fujiwara Kei glanced at Katsura Arima and smiled, "But you behaved very well, and it was the Yukiho I imagined."
[In view of the general environment,....
"I'm very happy to be recognized by the original author." Arima Katsura lowered her head slightly, smiled a little shyly, and then raised her head to look into Fujiwara's eyes.
Fujiwara Kei also looked at Arima Katsuka, Arima Katsuka's facial features are very exquisite, and every part of the face can be used as a plastic surgery template in this era.
Among the facial features, the eyes are the best-looking, with long and curly eyelashes, slightly raised eye tips, and a slight blue color in the whites of the eyes. Every time Kei Fujiwara looked into her eyes, he could vaguely feel a faint fragrance from her body drilling into her nostrils, as if the smell was transmitted through her sight.
Fujiwara Kei suddenly flashed a hand shadow in front of his eyes, and Ohno Nagaji slammed his hand knife into the middle of the two, cutting off their sight, and said, "I'm still here, don't ignore me, bastards." Go get something to eat, I'm so hungry that my chest is pressed against my back."
Nagaharu Ohno touched his stomach and said.
"Have you found any delicious restaurants lately? Foodie?" Katsura Arima asked Kei Fujiwara with a smile.
"Hmm...... Let's go eat Western food,
I know there's a ......."
"That...... Fujiwara-sensei......" A weak voice came from not far away, and the three of them turned their heads to see that it was Nanako Togata and Mayo Ogata, and the two were standing next to a big tree like an old couple.
"Oh, Toshida." Kei Fujiwara beckoned.
The two of them walked over, and Toshida bowed and said, "Fujiwara-sensei, thank you for bringing us in, we're leaving, come and say hello to you." Overseer Ohno, you're here too."
"Young, Nanako." Nagaharu Ono waved his hand at her, Nanako Tokada and Shinyo Ogata had worked in the crew of "Suddenly Looking Back" for a period of time, and they were familiar with Nagaharu Ohno.
"You're welcome." Kei Fujiwara said, "By the way, I was watching a movie before, and I forgot to ask you, how is your new book? When will the order book be issued? Does the publisher have a backlog?"
"It's already on the agenda, because the final chapter written at the beginning didn't satisfy Mr. Itagaki, so the issue was suspended, and the next issue was officially finished, and the full draft was only available a few days ago, so it is estimated that the printing of the single book will be a month later."
"So, do you need me to write you a testimonial?"
"I can't thank you enough." Nanako Tokada said, "If Fujiwara-sensei is willing......
"Oh, is Nanako also a writer? It's amazing." Nagaharu Ohno said with a thumbs up. "Fujiwara, you kid has to be more serious in the future, be careful of being compared to Nanako."
"Somewhere, my level can't be compared to Fujiwara-sensei."
"Hey, don't say that to his face, this guy is proud enough......" Nagaharu Ohno said.
"It's late, we're going to eat, why don't you come with us?" Kei Fujiwara took the initiative to invite at this time.
It just so happened that Nanako Toshida and Mayo Ogata were also hungry, so they hesitated for a moment and agreed. The two sat directly in Kei Fujiwara's SUV, Nagaharu Ohno sat in the co-pilot, and the three girls sat in the back.
Shinyo Ogata sat next to Katsura Arima and said with some excitement, "I didn't expect to be able to sit so close to Katsura Arima, I'm your fan, and I liked you very much when you debuted!" Arima-chan, do you remember me?"
….
Arima Guixiang tilted her head, looked at the two of them, and smiled: "It seems that I did see you somewhere, but I am very forgetful and I don't remember it a little, don't be surprised."
"It's okay, it's at Tokyo University of Literature and Art." Shinyo Ogata replied, "We worked on "Suddenly Looking Back" for a while, and at that time Arima-chan came to the crew to guide the actors, and it was at that time that we met, and I invited you to eat the pizza I baked myself!"
"Oops, I remember." Arima Guixiang's eyes widened slightly, "I still remember that you grilled a beef pizza, and that pizza was delicious, I don't usually eat pizza burgers like high-calorie food, but that time I couldn't help but eat two large pieces."
A smug look suddenly appeared on Ogata's face, "If Arima-chan likes it, you can come to my pizza shop next time to eat, and I'll give you free!"
"Haha, the money still has to be given."
The two chatted enthusiastically.
Nanako Ligata still looked at Ogata Shinyo with some envy, even if it was a stranger, Ogata Shinyo could quickly make the relationship hot, this should be regarded as a talent, and Toshida always couldn't learn it.
"Nanako...... Right?" At this time, Arima Katsura probed the probe and confirmed the name of Toshida.
"Ah, yes."
"I'm very impressed by the name, your work should be the book "The Long Goodbye" serialized in "Qiankun Spring and Autumn", right?"
Nanako Tokada was a little surprised: "Miss Arima has seen me."
"Naturally, I'm also a very senior mystery reader, and I've read your work, and I think it's the best among new authors. In particular, the relationship between them is very profound."
"Non-...... Thank you very much for this recognition!"
"Huh? This direction...... It seems to be the direction of my pizzeria, so where are you going to eat, Fujiwara-sensei?" Mayo Ogata looked at the car
Outside the window, he suddenly asked.
"It's a Western-style restaurant, it seems to be called ......," Kei Fujiwara said the name of the restaurant.
Ogata's face changed, and he muttered, "That's the house......
"What's wrong?" Kei Fujiwara asked as he saw in the rearview mirror that something seemed wrong with Mayo Ogata's face.
"No, ......it's nothing," said Ogata Shinyo, shaking his head, but the look of wanting to speak instead aroused the curiosity of the others, and everyone in the car turned their heads to look at her.
Mayo Ogata was stared at so hard that he had to speak, "One of the employees of my pizzeria used to work in that restaurant, and she told me that the restaurant was ...... There are a lot of rats, and after the kitchen staff catches the mice, they will directly scald them to death with boiling water, and then put them into vacuum packing bags and throw them out with a vacuum compressor...... That's why I'm a little afraid to eat what they have......
As soon as these words came out, the faces of everyone in the car changed, especially Kei Fujiwara, who had been to that store no less than ten times.
