Looking at Kei Fujiwara's somewhat strange expression, Eiji Shirai knew that he had misunderstood, and waved his hand and said, "Fujiwara-sensei, you think too much, I definitely don't have any betrayal of Matsuhi, I decided to join Hido after I left. Actually, letting me leave Matsuri is also a long-cherished wish of Nobisan."

Eiji Shirai smiled, "After all, within Matsuri Pictures, I have always appeared as a competitor, and there were two people who had the opportunity to be appointed as the president of the board of directors, one was me and the other was President Nobi. In the end, I lost to Shirai-san by one vote, so he was very wary of me all along."

While pouring sake for Kei Fujiwara, Eiji Shirai said, "In a company, it is a business story that can maintain a good relationship after competition...... After all, it's just a legend, and in fact, Nobisan has always had a faint hostility towards me."

"And myself? In all fairness, I don't have that kind of generosity, and if I had the chance, I would also like to be the president, so it makes sense for him to be wary of me. I thought that if I could make Matsuri Ei's self-made film rise in one fell swoop, or even surpass Dongjin, maybe I would be able to show my ability in front of the board of directors, and I would have a chance to touch that position. Fujiwara-sensei, you have given me hope to make this happen. But Nobisan really won't cooperate so easily."

Eiji Shirai said with emotion, "Well, it's not a good thing to leave, although Nichido is not as strong as Matsuhi, but my freedom in Nichido has become greater, and I can do more of what I want to do in the future."

Speaking of this, Eiji Shirai looked at Kei Fujiwara: "Fujiwara-sensei, I heard that Mizuami Productions plans to have a production plan for six films in two years, can you give me three quotas?"

Fujiwara Kei thought for a while and said, "I can reach this intention with you first and sign a cooperation agreement for a film, but whether the next two films can be decided depends on how well this one is coordinated...... After all, I have never cooperated with Nichido, and my willingness to achieve this intention is also for the sake of Shirai-san's face."

The previous experience of working with Matsuri Pictures was not pleasant, not only in the early stage of filming, various attempts to parachute personnel in the crew, or the indifferent attitude of the theater in the distribution stage, or "Confession" opened the market with its own hard power, and the distribution department reluctantly raised the film schedule.

"Confession" did not achieve the 5 billion box office that Kei Fujiwara idealized, although it was not much close, but Kei Fujiwara felt that the responsibility was all on Matsuri.

Kei Fujiwara and Tojin Pictures also signed an agreement for two works, and Yuichi Matsubara, the president of Tojin, let Keiichi Fujiwara see the sincerity of this company, and believed that with the support of Yuichi Matsubara, there would be no constraints in this company, so he was willing to agree to cooperate. And Shirai ...... After all, I didn't go to Nichido to be the president, so I still have to observe for a while.

Eiji Shirai listened, raised his glass and smiled, "Okay, Fujiwara-sensei, I hope we can work together happily again."

……

Filming of the morning drama "Asa" is now officially underway, and the filming location is at NHK's No. 1 Production Center, and Kei Fujiwara is only responsible for providing the script, not participating in the actual directing work.

"A Shallow is Coming" is also in the form of filming and broadcasting, but the film has to be saved for a few more episodes. Because the morning drama is broadcast every day, five episodes a week in a row, instead of just one episode. But since each episode is only ten minutes, the total duration of the stored film is about the same as that of ordinary TV dramas.

With the production of "A Shallow is Coming" in full swing, the old people from the Yuejiu team couldn't sit still again. Although they had already received a promise from Yui Mizuhara that they would participate in the production of prime-time TV series, they waited for another week, but there was still no news, which made them suddenly feel a hundred claws scratching their hearts.

So Hasegawa Ying and others asked Taro Nishimura again to ask Kei Fujiwara if there was a production plan for a new drama next, but in exchange for only Taro Nishimura's one-word reply: Get out.

If you have to ask yourself, Lao Tzu will never come out again anyway, anyway, I am in a calm state now, and I can be at peace with me with or without a production plan, so don't bother me, Amitabha.

Hasegawa Ying and the others had faces like bitter melons, and after Nishimura Taro saw it, he also gloated

Pleasure, and at the same time said in my heart: I want you bastards to backstab Lao Tzu in the first place.

And the reason why he is not in a hurry is also because he recently learned that Kei Fujiwara, Yui Mizuhara and others are in contact with major TV stations to promote new projects, and they are still talking, but it is estimated that it will be determined in less than a week or two. New dramas can be broadcast in the summer or autumn. So he's not in a hurry.

The ordinary staff here are in a hurry, while on the other side, Kei Fujiwara is unhurriedly participating in the 65th "Mahjong Masters".

The Mahjong Masters Tournament has a long history, and the participants are mainly people from the academic community of culture, sports, and the participating members are well-known actors, writers, journalists, cartoonists, Go players, and scholars.

However, it seems that professional Go players are not allowed to participate in the competition, these guys are too calculating, and the human brain cheats, so they were disqualified.

Mahjong is very popular, especially in the cultural circles, almost all of them are masters of playing cards. The champion of the last mahjong classic tournament was none other than Mr. Ensuke Kato of TTV.

Although his legs and feet are not good, his fingers are flexible and sharp, which can make stocks fly up and down in his hand, and he also has the magical ability to know the cards without looking at the cards and just by touching. For this reason, these hands were revered by the other contestants as "Kato's Fingers".

Kei Fujiwara suffered a heavy defeat at the last "Mahjong Classic", but this time he came with his head held high. The other contestants all smiled disdainfully when they saw Kei Fujiwara, and were ready to give him a heavy blow this time, so that you kid knows that playing mahjong is more difficult than making a TV series and making a movie.

Let your kid jump like that!

Fujiwara Kei watched his colleagues in the broadcasting industry staring at him with a smile in their eyes, one of them rubbed his hands, swallowed his saliva subconsciously, and then asked the person next to him with some uneasiness.

"It's been a long time since these guys looked at me...... Can you handle it?"

"Leave it to me." A firm but delicate voice rang in my ears.

Arima Katsuna was wearing a white windbreaker, crossed her waist, and looked back at the people around her with sharp eyes.

"Whether it's pai gow, mahjong, or mahjong, Zha Jinhua, and compete for the top...... Growing up, I never lost!"

Fujiwara Kei felt that this was true, because Matsumoto Konoemon also planned to participate in the Mahjong Masters Tournament, because his card skills were also good, and he had won the championship, but when he heard that Arima Katsura was going to join Fujiwara Kei's camp to participate together, his face changed abruptly, and finally excused himself and said that he was busy with affairs today, so he still didn't participate.

Through Arima Sai, Fujiwara Kei learned that on Chinese New Year's Eve, the geisha of Hakuzuruya had the traditional habit of playing mahjong to keep the year, but since Arima Katsuraka first touched mahjong cards when she was 14 years old, they gradually abandoned this hobby.

According to Arima Masai, playing cards with Arima Katsura is no different from putting money in a sack and throwing it into the water......

On the last big day, Arima Katsura spent it with Fujiwara Kei, so the people of Hakutsuruya happily played mahjong again, which was really a feeling that had not been seen for a long time.

The Masters Tournament is a team point system of the rules of the game, the rules of mahjong are different from China, and it is also more testing of individual tactics, within three rounds, Fujiwara Kei was defeated, losing points again and again. However, Arima Katsuna became more and more courageous and finally reached the final.

Makato Ensuke also entered the finals, he and Arima Katsura had similar points, and the moment when the last game was decided to win or lose, the atmosphere around was extremely tense, and Hidaka Junaki also came, holding the camera to the side, saying that he wanted to record the heroic posture of the master when he finally won, but patted and put the camera down.

The fierce battle lasted for a long time, and Kato Ensuke's forehead began to sweat, and he kept wiping the sweat with a handkerchief, and finally only heard a "pop", and Arima Katsura pushed a column of mahjong down on the table: "Hu."

Immediately afterwards, he bowed slightly to Madosuke Kato: "Agreed, Kato-sensei."

Other colleagues in the broadcasting industry also collapsed in their chairs in disappointment after learning that the Fujiwara Kei team finally dominated the arena under the leadership of Katsura Arima.

It's over.,I'm going to be abused by Kei Fujiwara on mahjong in the future......
