Chapter 354: The Dinner Party
Like NHK, TTV is busy at the moment.
A few years ago, TTV was unwilling to let all the ratings cake fall into the mouth of NHK on this day, so he resolutely invested heavily in the production of the program "Annual Music Festival", and the output was worthy of the return, although for the time being, it is not as good as the status of the Red and White Song Club in the minds of the audience for so many years, but the ratings have increased year by year, and even surpassed most of the TV programs on this station.
This year, we are also making efforts, investing more money, and inviting more national-level singers to sing the popular music works of this year. Vowed to further narrow the gap with the Red and White Song Society.
The person in charge of the "Annual Music Festival" was in the conference room to coordinate some of the day's evening party when his assistant suddenly came up to him and said, "Mr. Kojima, the repertoire and the performers on NHK have almost been decided, and we have already inquired about the specific program. There may be changes in the order, but there shouldn't be any major changes to the specific shows."
"Red and White Song Club" and "Annual Music Festival" have now become competing programs, so there are many things about the two parties asking each other and spying on information. Once the show enters the official rehearsal stage, it is difficult to hide the news.
"Well, are they still the ones that were originally planned? There's nothing new, it seems that NHK is also running out of ideas, there is no way, after all, it is a state-run TV station, and it lacks the driving force for change......
The assistant then said, "Mr. Kojima, there is an interesting thing......
"What?"
"Fujiwara-sensei also contributed several programs to the Red and White Song Society......
Kojima looked at him puzzled, "What do you mean? Which Fujiwara-sensei?"
"It's Kei Fujiwara of Fukuyamadai."
The name is about to become a nightmare for TTV, and since the first ratings war, Kei Fujiwara seems to have been eyeing TTV ever since. deliberately picked their good program time to make trouble, and stabbed TTV with blood. Many programs that were originally given high hopes were defeated under the challenge of Fujiwara Kei, Hidaka Junming was beaten so hard that he didn't dare to take the lead during this time, and the senior management of the station did not dare to let him produce new programs, for fear of stimulating Fujiwara Kei again.
Kojima is not from the TV drama department, not only does he not care about this kind of thing, but he has a faint sense of schadenfreude. After hearing Kei Fujiwara's name, he couldn't help but frown.
"Didn't he write the script? What is he messing with in a music show?"
"It is said that Fujiwara-sensei's deceased mother was a songwriter during her lifetime, and several of her works will appear on the stage of the Red and White Song Society."
Kojima subconsciously opened his mouth wide: "Who is his mother? What's your name?"
The assistant shook his head: "I don't know, it's said that he wasn't a famous person, he was just an ordinary music teacher when he was alive."
Kojima was stunned for a moment, then burst out laughing, "Those ridiculous guys at NHK...... It's really unscrupulous to win over Kei Fujiwara, and it's not a shame."
The imminent end of Kei Fujiwara's contract with Fukuyama is well known to everyone in the broadcasting industry, and many television stations and production companies are trying to win over the talented author. TTV is no exception, so he knows something.
He took it for granted that NHK agreed to his request in order to win Kei Fujiwara's next contract and to curry favor with him. What a good work can be written by a little-known music teacher during his lifetime.
….
It's outrageous, such an important program as the Red and White Song Club is actually used to give favors......
Kojima couldn't help but sneer, and looked down on NHK's group of wine bags and rice bags more and more, this time the person in charge of the Red and White Song Club seems to be Eikoro Yagami, who seemed to be a very capable music producer before, but I didn't expect it to be like this in less than a few years.
Kojima shook his head and didn't ask any more questions, and the assistant stopped talking, because he listened to the NHK people who praised the new songs, but after thinking about it, he didn't say anything to his boss, what if people didn't like to hear it.
After the final round of rehearsals, Arima Katsura wanted to follow Fujiwara Kei back to his apartment directly, but Arima suddenly grabbed her and said, "Sister, Dad said that it was evening
I will have a family feast and let you go home and eat."
Arima Katsura glanced at Kei Fujiwara with some reluctance, and then said, "Okay."
Arima Masai smiled and glanced at Kei Fujiwara: "It's better to come with Fujiwara-sensei, it's not an outsider anyway."
Arima Katsura glanced at Fujiwara Kei expectantly, and Fujiwara Kei touched her head and said, "I won't go to your family dinner...... I'll talk about it later when the time comes."
The family banquet of the Arima family is not only Matsumoto Konoemon and his wife and Arima sisters and brothers, there are dozens of people in Wuyang, and there are many strange faces, it is inevitable to be a little embarrassed to be in such a big family.
"Okay......" Katsura Arima stretched out her hand and shook it on Kei Fujiwara's hand, "See you tomorrow."
After Arima Katsura and Arima Sai left, Fujiwara Kei was just about to leave, when Inoue Mori suddenly walked over again, looked up at Fujiwara Kei, and said with some hesitation, "Fujiwara-sensei, are you free tonight?"
"Huh?" Kei Fujiwara glanced at her, "Is there anything wrong with you?"
Inoue Mori hesitated again, then said casually, "Fujiwara-sensei, do you remember what I said before? If I had money, I would ask Fujiwara-sensei to eat at a restaurant that was more expensive than kaiseki...... I would like to invite Fujiwara-sensei to dinner."
[In view of the general environment,
Inoue Mori said very seriously again.
Kei Fujiwara smiled and nodded casually, "That's great, I have time, now?"
Inoue Mori nodded again: "Hmm...... But I don't know how to drive yet, so I'll have to ask you to drive it......
Fujiwara agreed, and under the command of Inoue Morimata, he went to a French restaurant in Chiyoda Ward, which was a Michelin-starred restaurant, and Fujiwara Kei went there once, and the price was indeed high.
As one of the highest-paid writers in this book now, there is no pressure to go to this kind of restaurant, but the income of the artist itself is not particularly high, not to mention that Inoue Mori is still a child, let her invite such an expensive place, Fujiwara Kei is more or less embarrassed, so he tentatively said, "Why don't I invite you this time?"
Inoue Mori shook his head solemnly and said, "No, I said that I would invite you, but I can't be untrustworthy."
Fujiwara didn't say anything more, and after walking into the restaurant, the two of them found a corner to sit down to eat, and then ordered the usual food, this restaurant felt like a creative dish, the feeling of eating molecular cuisine. It is to make one ingredient into the taste and appearance of another ingredient.
For example, pistachios are made into creamy ice cream, oranges and coconuts are made into fried eggs, and shrimp is made into tofu......
The taste is acceptable, but it still doesn't feel like it's worth the price, so it's good to eat something new.
Inoue Mori sat across from Fujiwara Kei again, eating very gently, when he suddenly said, "Fujiwara-sensei, on the rooftop that day, was Masai rehearsing how to confess to me?"
