Chapter 379: Water Wave Reward
Nanako Toshida and Shinyo Ogata are both now in their senior year and are about to graduate and find employment.
None of them have any plans to continue their studies and plan to start their careers in earnest.
It is still difficult for this year's graduates to find jobs, and even in the golden age of the development of the television industry, it is still not so easy for graduates of the video projection department to find jobs, and the competition is still fierce.
In fact, Mayo Ogata and Nanako Toshigata are already very lucky people. Needless to say, Nanako Toshida has good family conditions, and now that she has become a professional writer, her career development has already shown the light of day, so she doesn't have to worry too much about employment at all.
And although the Ogata Shinyo family is not as wealthy as Nanako Tokata, the family has opened a store after all, and it has also opened several branches in the past few years, and the family background is also thick, but it is not worrying about eating and drinking.
But Ogata Shinyo has no plans to take over his parents' business for the time being, and still plans to make a career in the broadcasting industry first, she likes to watch variety shows, and she aspires to become a variety show producer, which is a matter of course.
At this time, Ogata Shinyo said again, "Toshida, aren't you considering going with me to interview for the production of water waves?"
Nanako Toshida is really tempted, and she should be able to learn more by working closely with Fujiwara-sensei, right?
But after thinking about it, I shook my head: "I still want to work in writing......
She thinks that she doesn't have the talent of Fujiwara sensei, and she can do two industries at the same time, so it's good to concentrate on writing along the way, and I'll not consider more for the time being.
"You can write even if you join a production company." Shinyo Ogata wanted to change from classmates to colleagues with Nanako Toshikata, so he tried to persuade, "By the way, didn't we discuss it before, and think your relationship is better written? If you write a romantic drama, it must be very good. Have you considered becoming a screenwriter?"
"...... Screenwriter"
"Eh, you wait, I remember that Mizumi Productions seems to have held a screenwriting competition......" Ogata Shinyo said, getting up to get something, this is Ogata Shinyo's house, she pulled out a "Spring and Autumn Literary Award" magazine from the pile of books that were stacked on the table, flipped through it, and then poked a page with her finger and said: "Look, Mizumi Productions, NHK and Spring and Autumn Magazine jointly held a newcomer screenwriter competition, this year is the first one, the first place has a prize of 5 million, and you can directly become the main screenwriter, Would you like to give it a try?"
This advertisement will be published on the sandwich page of the new issue of the magazine, and the newcomer screenwriter award competition will be held in front of [Shuibo Productions], NHK and "Spring and Autumn Literary Awards" magazine, and the name of the award will be "Shuibo Award", and the date of publication of the advertisement is the start date of the call for papers, and the deadline for submission will be in October.
Because it is a newcomer screenwriting competition, the contributor must be a newcomer in the screenwriting circle.
But the division of newcomers is not strict, and it doesn't have to be that you haven't written a word before to be counted as a newcomer screenwriter. If you have been engaged in the screenwriting industry before, but have always been a screenwriter's assistant, line screenwriter, etc., and do not have a main creative work, you can also participate in this big award competition as a newcomer; Or if you are a practitioner of other creative professions, such as comics, you can also participate in the competition.
In this way, the scope is much wider. And this bonus ...... Compared with various literary awards, it is extremely rich.
Most literary awards don't give so much money, most of them are honorary awards, no bonuses, and if there are any, there are not many. The water wave reward is already considered to be generous.
And being able to directly become the main screenwriter and have your own works is indeed a temptation for many young people who want to engage in this industry. Said that my steadiness and steadfastness, many times is a helpless choice in the context of the year sequence, if you can, who is not willing to step into the sky and be the main creator directly. Who likes to be an assistant to others day after day, and stay up for more than ten years before they have the opportunity to have their own signed works.
Looking at the advertisement on the folder, Nanako Toshida was stunned for a while, and then really began to think seriously.
"Well, Nanako, or try it
Let's go." Mayo Ogata was also on the side, tempting like the snake in the Garden of Eden, and said, "Maybe there will be a chance to work with Fujiwara-sensei on the script......
As soon as these words came out, Nanako Toshikata's eyelids jumped, and then she reached out and slowly picked up the magazine.
"Okay...... I'll give it a try......
……
"Confession" was officially finalized, and then entered the stage of centralized publicity, during this time, the Arima sisters and brothers and Inoue Mori were also too busy to touch the ground, and they were supported by Ohno Nagaji to make cameo appearances in various programs, mainly NHK and Fukuyama TV. After all, these are the two major investors.
Posters about the film have also begun to be officially displayed in cinemas, and the news of the film's upcoming screening is entering the information space of the audience through various channels.
At the same time, the previous Hollywood imported blockbuster was officially released about twelve days before the release of "Confession".
This Hollywood blockbuster is distributed by Dongzhen Pictures, Dongzhen is the first of the five major film companies in the book, the strongest, and one of the controlling parties behind TTV TV.
Dongjin Pictures also controls the most theater resources, but after the official release of this movie, the box office performance was not as good as they expected. However, this is in line with the predictions of Kei Fujiwara and Nagaharu Ohno.
In the first two days of the movie, the box office performance was acceptable, after all, with the blessing of Hollywood's aura, it naturally had a charming effect on the audience. However, the style of this film is too rough, and in the United States, because of the background of Western culture, the box office is still acceptable. In the case of the market, the market response was not ideal.
The local audience of Yuben is tired of even watching samurai films, and there are really not many interested in this kind of western.
So two days later, the box office of this film plummeted, and the distribution company and theaters began to gradually reduce the film schedule, and the fate was the same as the original "White Night Walking".
And before the official release of the movie "Confession", a screening was also held.
The screening is in the pre-screening venue before the first printing, in each theater in advance, and the audience is generally media personnel, mainly to promote in advance and create word of mouth. But not all movies will be screened, and many movies are not screened in advance, but are released quietly.
Therefore, the films that choose to be screened often have some confidence in them.
So when "Confession" was screened and filmmakers and media reporters were invited to watch the movie, many film critics' internal circles were also discussing, it seems that Kei Fujiwara was still very confident in his first electrocution, otherwise how dare he screen it, and invited a lot of media people who are known for their strictness?
But there are also some film critics who don't think so, what if they dare to screen it, it's not without stupid and bold directors and producers, didn't the original "White Night Walk" that hit the street also be screened?
