Chapter 413: Transformation
Although many well-known awards are available
The traditional habit of "anti-market" is that the more popular the work in the market, the less likely it is to sit there.
But after all, the Ranbu Award is a popular literary award, and it is impossible to ignore the public's perception. If the submitted work is a published work, Ranbu Reward will still deliberately observe the reaction of some mass markets.
In comparison, Naoki seems to be a bit rebellious. The reason why Kei Fujiwara's "White Night Walk" was considered unlikely by the majority of book critics to win the Naoki Award was not only because he was submitting it for the first time, but also because the book was already very hot in the market at that time.
And since Kei Fujiwara officially debuted as the winner of the Naoki Award, he has published a number of popular works as if there is no cooling-off period, and his growth rate is terrifying, transforming from an ordinary dark horse into an alien monster horse.
It also led to a rapid increase in the gold content of the Naoki prize. In fact, the gold content of the Naoki Award has always been slightly higher than that of the Ranbu Award, but there has always been a saying in the literary world that the Naoki curse is that after the writer wins the Naoki Award, he will not be able to produce good works from now on.
Although this is a bit of a generalization, it has indeed happened several times, so it cannot be said to be slanderous.
But Fujiwara Kei's birth directly shattered this spell, and even because of his influence, the number of manuscripts received in the next few Naoki Awards has greatly increased, and the quality of works has also improved, and many high-quality newcomer authors have gone to Naoki Awards.
As a result, the gap between the Ranbu Award and the Naoki Award seems to be widening, which also makes the organizers of the Ranbu Award a little anxious, hoping to dig out a literary genius who can compete with Kei Fujiwara, and at this time Naoki Yamazaki appeared.
By this time, "Lizard Fire" had sold 400,000 copies. Ranbu Reward is like finding a savior, hyping it, and now this person is indeed a hot rookie mystery writer at the moment, and he is extremely famous.
"I really envy you...... You don't have to go around running interviews. Ogata said sincerely. Near the noodle shop is an interview meeting for a large company, and now when you arrive at the restaurant, more and more people run into the noodle shop to eat noodles, most of them are wearing old-fashioned suits, but they have young faces, and they look like graduates who are looking for jobs everywhere.
The noodle shop suddenly smelled of sweat and sourness. All the graduates were disgraced one by one, and the girls' makeup was almost spent, and the fans were mottled on their faces.
Compared to them, Nanako Toshida still has exquisite makeup and elegant demeanor. In the eyes of Ogata Shinyo, Nanako Toshida is indeed lucky, she has no employment pressure, her father is a business, and it is a big deal to work in her father's company.
And now he is still a well-known writer, and he can't get paid enough. However, Nanako Toshida also has her own troubles, that is, the question of what to write next.
She now feels that she lacks talent in reasoning and wants to make a transition, but this also means that the experience and readers she has accumulated before are not useful.
"By the way, didn't you plan to work at Fujiwara-sensei's company?" Shinyo Ogata asked.
Nanako Tokada blinked: "What I said? Isn't that what you said? ”
"Huh? Is it? I forgot, but it doesn't matter. Ogata waved his hand and said,
"It seems that Shuibo Productions has no recruitment plans recently, and they have been busy shooting new works recently, and they are so busy that their feet do not touch the ground, but I heard from their insiders that after the next few works are broadcast, they will hold an interview meeting, but it is not necessarily, they can't wait until then." Nanako Tokada said at this time, "I wrote a script and submitted it to Mizuami Production, but I don't know how it turned out......"
"It will work! You're Nanako! The first talented woman of Eastern Literature and Art! Ogata said reluctantly patting Nanako Toshika on the shoulder.
"Oh, don't say that......" Nanako Toshida blushed a little.
"By the way, let's go to my house to watch TV today, Mr. Fujiwara's new drama is about to start again...... The White Tower? It seems to be called this name, it's a professional drama, and I don't know if it's good or not. But I'm still more interested in the work called "Blue Life and Death Love". ”…… Fukuyamadai's Crescent Moon Nine drama is a medical drama called "Golden Left Hand", which tells the story of a surgeon who makes good use of his left hand.
Based on the comics, the original work is well-known in this book and is a niche masterpiece. The final male lead actor of this drama is Koshi Hoshino, who once starred in "Long Vacation" and became popular.
Hoshino Koshi relied on "Long Vacation" to successfully transform and become a popular actor, but later for various reasons, he never worked with Kei Fujiwara again.
He also tried to make overtures to Kei Fujiwara, but was refused. And when he received the invitation to the Yuejiu drama again, he couldn't help but be overjoyed, although the current Yuejiu drama was no longer the Yuejiu that Fujiwara Kei was responsible for at the beginning.
But it is still the hottest time column in China, gathering the top production forces of Fukuyama TV, if you can cooperate with them again, your popularity will definitely reach the peak state after starring in "Long Vacation"!
Seeing that his popularity is declining day by day, Hoshino Hao, who is already in a bad mood, is disheartened. He was an idol, and he didn't have any idea of transformation at first.
Because he still enjoys being an idol, with high commercial value, fans hug each other, this kind of life is not bad, and I don't know why so many people want to transform.
But in the past six months, there are so many new idols that it is dazzling, and his fans have been divided up a lot, and he has gradually realized that if he takes the path of the previous idol faction, he will probably never be able to go to his previous status.
So I wanted to take advantage of my popularity to actively participate in the transformation. "Golden Left Hand" is regarded by him as a transformation work, and if this drama is performed well, he may be able to gradually turn from an idol to a powerful one.
His acting skills are actually not bad, otherwise Kei Fujiwara would not have let him play at the beginning. It's just that according to the judging criteria of the powerful faction, it seems that it is still a little unqualified.
.. So there was a very laughable situation, originally Hoshino Koshi participated in this work for the purpose of transformation, but after careful thinking, Shimizu Asahiro changed his original creative ideas and leaned on the style of this drama to idol dramas.
So the audience can see that after the protagonist Hoshino Hiroshi misses the scene, passionate music will sound, and at the same time, countless close-ups of his handsome side face will be given.
While this made a group of young girls scream, many fans of the original comic and male viewers changed the channel speechlessly.
The results of the first episode of this drama are okay, with an audience rating of about 23, which is a good result, and if this result can be maintained, the show can be declared a success and postponed.
Although there are also voices that don't like it, such as complaining that the show doesn't follow the original plot at all, and the protagonist doesn't stick to his face or something, but it is enough for the ratings to be high, and the bad reviews will be gradually drowned out.
After the ratings of the first episode came out, Shimizu Qianchong breathed a sigh of relief, and then went to the bar alone to drink, and from time to time, a female public relations came forward to toast, but he refused.
Although it seems a bit hypocritical to say this, he really just came to drink, maybe he has been in the Vanity Fair of the broadcasting industry for too long, but he has become more like to be alone, just like the middle-aged sullen man in idol dramas.
"Shimizu producer, what a coincidence, I met you here." Kenji Takada walked over with a smile.
"Takada-kun...... Have a seat. Qing Shui was slightly drunk, and was about to leave, but after seeing the acquaintance, he sat down again and pointed to the seat next to him.
"Why does a man drink sullen wine?" Kenji Takada asked with a smile,
"Is it because the new show is on the air and there is a lot of pressure?"
