Chapter 398: It's Pretty Simple

Kei Fujiwara released a message to the outside world through the public relations department that between '97 and '98, there were plans to make six films.

These six films will cost one billion to two billion dollars, and the wholly-owned production of Shuibo Production alone will definitely not be able to withstand it, so they will find partners. The success of Confession tells him that the more partners there are, the more stable the project will be.

As for which six films, Kei Fujiwara has not yet made a decision.

However, as soon as the news was released, people from the five major film companies all found Kei Fujiwara and directly set their intention to cooperate. Among them, the most enthusiastic attitude belongs to Yuichi Matsubara of Dongzhen Pictures, and even asked Kei Fujiwara what movie he wanted to make, saying that as long as Kei Fujiwara was willing to shoot, he would directly provide equipment, personnel, and scene support, and would be responsible for 30% of the total investment.

Although Kei Fujiwara's first film, "Confession", was a big hit in the film market, it is still very rare for Yuichi Matsubara to show such a convicted attitude.

In contrast, Matsuri's attitude was a little hesitant, in short, not decisive enough. The film company sent a mid-level to talk about a new round of cooperation with Mizumi Productions, and although Fujiwara Kei was puzzled that the person who came was not Eiji Shirai, he didn't ask too much, and just told him about Mizuami's plan to make six films in two years.

But the other party asked Fujiwara Kei to give a specific script, and Matsuri Pictures decided whether to invest, and also asked Fujiwara Kei to continue to shoot the suspense film genre - after all, "Confession" is popular, and now the suspense film is not the street type, it has become fragrant and gluttonous again, just continue to follow the old road of success.

Fujiwara Kei actually doesn't have a good impression of Matsuhi Pictures, especially Nobi Shigesuke, the president of Matsuga Pictures. But now that the Fushantai Film School is in power, Shuibo Production has many in-depth cooperation projects with Fushantai, so I don't want to offend them. After the other party proposed that Fujiwara Kei must give a specific script plan, Fujiwara Kei detailed some of his production plans to these people.

How do you know that as soon as Fujiwara Kei said the other party, he couldn't help frowning and said, "The girls in romance movies are particularly violent, and they slap boys at every turn? Boys are mediocre-looking? It seems that no one will watch such a romance movie...... I'm sorry, Fujiwara-sensei, but I don't mean to question your ability, but I think you have a background in suspense story writing, so you may not know much about romance films, so if Matsuhi Pictures wants to participate in a collaborative project, it is better to choose the category you are better at."

I'm not good at romance? Kei Fujiwara almost laughed angrily: "Mr. Miyamoto, have you watched "The Long Vacation"?"

The visitor nodded: "I've heard of it, this seems to be a good pure love TV series."

Kei Fujiwara frowned, "Do you know that I am the screenwriter of this show?"

The visitor was a little surprised: "Is that so? Have you ever created works about pure love?"

Kei Fujiwara: "......"

Yui Mizuhara, who was sitting next to Kei Fujiwara, was also speechless, did this guy do it on purpose or accidentally? Isn't it deliberately provocative? "Long Holiday" is the pioneering work of the Yuejiu series, although it is not the highest rated among the Yuejiu files, but it is definitely groundbreaking. Even some interns know that this drama is from Kei Fujiwara, but this guy doesn't know?

But after thinking about it, maybe he really didn't know. This person is 100% not a manager who is a producer, but a manager of the nature of a "professional bureaucrat", a layman who leads an insider. However, it is indeed rare for a layman to be like this.

The bigger the company, the more this happens, and the more people who have an extraordinary talent for the operation of human relations, to lead people who can really do things.

On the contrary, some small companies with potential do not have this phenomenon, because they know that good steel is used on the cutting edge. Therefore, it is often necessary for insiders to be the actual operators and leaders of the project, and when Yoshida Kashi was the director of Fukuyamadai, he paid special attention to this kind of thing, so most of the top management of the production department were from the production department, so they would not give some stupid orders.

If Matsuhi Eika is compared to a player of a love game, and Fujiwara Kei is the object of his strategy, then Fujiwara Keixian

Today's opinion is close to zero.

He became more and more impatient with the cooperation with Matsuhi Pictures, and at the same time, he missed Eiji Shirai very much in his heart. Although Eiji Shirai doesn't have a lot of experience as a producer, he has a lot of respect for the profession.

Kei Fujiwara suddenly became disinterested, and even collapsed on the sofa seat, trying to end this stupid conversation quickly.

Yui Mizuhara saw Kei Fujiwara's sloppy attitude, and in order to show the demeanor and hospitality of Mizuwa Production, she quickly took over Kei Fujiwara's words and continued to negotiate with the other party, while Kei Fujiwara was drinking tea and eating small biscuits on the side, glancing at the clock hanging on the wall with his eyes, waiting for the time to pass little by little.

The man didn't see Kei Fujiwara's perfunctory, and was still gushing: "Fujiwara-sensei, I actually have a story idea, you can see if you can write a script, that is...... Hahaha, this is actually just something I thought of by chance, it's not perfect, and the specific content still has to be created by you, and you can thank me at the beginning of the film when the time comes."

Fujiwara Kei finally couldn't help it: "Mr. Miyamoto, I want to take the liberty of asking...... I don't seem to have seen Mr. Shirai in a while, after all, he has always been involved in the previous collaboration with Mizumi Productions."

"Shirai, he." The man pushed his glasses, "This...... There have been some personnel changes in the company recently...... Shirai-san is no longer in charge of the production department."

……

The negotiations were inconclusive, and after chatting, Kei Fujiwara contacted Eiji Shirai directly, and the two met in a tavern.

"Fujiwara-san, I'm so ashamed." Eiji Shirai said, "I plan to continue to work with you to do something with you, but I don't want me to have a problem here."

"What the hell is going on?" Kei Fujiwara asked.

Matsuri Pictures has recently ushered in personnel changes, and the woman Usami Sakura has been promoted again, and she has also arranged her own people in various departments.

It is precisely because of this woman that Matsuri Pictures failed to pursue "Confession", which made them earn hundreds of millions less, but this did not seem to have any impact on this woman's authority. On the contrary, Eiji Shirai, who has always looked down on this woman, suffers from her, although she doesn't know how to make it, but she has extraordinary office political talents.

What is office politics is nothing more than buying, attacking, and excluding dissidents, and this woman is indeed extraordinary in this regard, and it is Shirai Eiji who has always underestimated him. Some of Eiji Shirai's subordinates were bought by him without his knowledge. At internal company meetings, he was attacked by the decision-makers, who believed that Mr. Shirai was suspicious of his loyalty to the company because of his close ties to competing companies.

Kei Fujiwara took a sip of wine, "Are you talking about me?"

Eiji Shirai glanced at him and shook his head, "No, it's about the other five ...... Pictures of the day. Hmph, these guys ......."

Ridong Pictures ...... What impressed Kei Fujiwara the most about this company is that it is a well-known company that has contributed infinite creativity and wisdom in the AV field. However, this is not a specialized *** company, *** is just one of their many businesses, the main business is the production and distribution of films, as well as the operation of cinemas.

Eiji Shirai was found wrong, he was successful in business, especially the project "Confession", which made Matsuri Film make a lot of money, and the people who coveted his position wanted to get him down through loyalty.

Maybe there's a guy like Shigeru Nobi behind him, and maybe it's okay.

"Then ...... you now?"

"Suspension." Eiji Shirai drank all the wine in the cup, "Now it's an idler."

"Shirai-san, if you don't dislike it, how about coming to the water?"

Eiji Shirai glanced at Kei Fujiwara, smiled, poured himself a full glass of wine again, and raised his glass to Kei Fujiwara, "Thank you, Fujiwara-san, for being able to get your invitation, this is the greatest affirmation and praise for me. But...... I already have a new direction to go to work and have decided to join the new company next month."

"That's it...... It's a pity." Fujiwara Kei sighed and asked, "By the way, which is your new owner?"

"Didn't I tell you?" white

Jing Eiji looked at him strangely and said. An expression you don't know about.

Kei Fujiwara: "......"

You are not wronged!
