Chapter 206 What Independent Director

After "Lucky" was broadcast, the audience in the screening room applauded.

It's a very good short film. The audience said that it has all the elements that a successful film should have: concept and plot. Although the ending feels a bit rushed, it is already a very good film.

Some reviewers who watched silently gave the film high marks in their hearts.

After the movie ended, Tetsuya Iwai appeared and began to answer some questions from the audience and started a discussion session.

Seeing the audience's great enthusiasm for this film, he also felt joy from the bottom of his heart.

He re-shot and re-edited this "Lucky" to increase the duration. He is confident that it will impress the audience more than when it was screened on campus.

After the discussion, by observing the expressions of several audience members who were obviously reviewers, he knew that his work must have a high score in their hearts, so he breathed a sigh of relief from the bottom of his heart.

He unfolded the film timetable in his hand, his eyes swept up and down on it, and then his eyes stayed on the words "Suddenly Looking Back".

The screening started at four o'clock in the afternoon, and Tetsuya Iwai felt a sudden desire to compare. He wanted to see if this talented screenwriter in the TV drama industry could still be as strong in the film field.

"Don't underestimate the movies..." Tetsuya Iwai muttered.

By one o'clock in the afternoon, Kei Fujiwara had watched four movies, one feature film and three short films, and his head was a little swollen from watching them.

Originally, Kei Fujiwara was a standard commercial film lover and liked to watch "Looking for a Cat"-style movies. However, due to his inexperience as a director and not being used for commercial purposes, his personal films were often unrestrained and less entertaining. Although there were some good films, Look tired.

In comparison, the movie "Lucky" by Tetsuya Iwai that I watched at the school festival was much better. Although it was still a bit immature, I could tell that the movie had rules to follow, and was both entertaining and in-depth. It was worthy of being from an academy. Although young, he is very skilled in technology.

After another two years of training, if there is a good book for him, he may be able to make a good movie. Kei Fujiwara said in his heart, and immediately became interested in talents.

Ohno Nagaharu also walked out of the screening room, rubbed his roots, touched his stomach and said, "I'm hungry, let's go have lunch."

"There is a covered restaurant nearby, and it tastes good." Kei Fujiwara said.

Kei Fujiwara is now considered a semi-gourmet. Under the leadership of Nobu Satoshi Takagi, he has eaten all over half of Tokyo. Takaki Nobu Satoshi just took him to eat at the nearby Donburi restaurant last month. Kei Fujiwara plans to shoot "Lonely" It was used in the second season of Gourmet.

As Inokashira Goro is the most powerful store-exploring blogger in this era, the stores he visits will become popular tourist attractions the next day.

Therefore, although "The Lonely Gourmet" has ended, the TV station always receives letters from various stores, hoping that the program team can come to their stores to film the second season.

"The Lonely Gourmet" has no plans to shoot a second season yet, mainly due to lack of manpower. In addition to the filming of the Yuejiu drama, there is no manpower available to shoot another night drama. Therefore, Fujiwara Kei is also considering cooperating with the production company for joint filming recently.

Fujiwara Kei and Ono Nagaharu went to the nearby rice bowl restaurant and sat at a table in the corner. Ohno Nagaharu ordered pork cutlet rice bowl and Fujiwara Kei ordered eel rice.

At this time, a woman's shoulder bag was placed on the table next to Kei Fujiwara. Kei Fujiwara subconsciously turned his head to look and saw a woman with a very good temperament doing it. She looked about thirty-six or seventeen years old, but she took good care of herself.

Kei Fujiwara glanced at her body. She was wearing European luxury brands from head to toe. The bag on the table alone was the price of a car. Only the leather shoes on her feet could not tell the brand. However, according to Kei Fujiwara’s experience, you should wear more expensive private tailoring.

This outfit felt out of place for this small shop that sells rice bowls, but the woman ordered the beef rice with green onions very familiarly, and she was able to chat casually with the clerk. She must have eaten here often.

After a while, a man also walked into the rice bowl restaurant. The man sat opposite and looked around, "Is this the best restaurant in the entire port area as you said?"

"Yes, do you want to try it? It's much more delicious than kaiseki cuisine or caviar."

"Haha, please give me a recommendation, Miss Kamiya," the middle-aged man said.

"Specialist Shirai?" Kei Fujiwara heard the voice and called out.

The man turned around and saw Kei Fujiwara, stunned for a moment, then stood up and said, "Teacher Fujiwara."

Fujiwara Kei smiled and shook hands with him.

The man's name is Eiji Shirai, a senior director of the film and television production company Matsunichi Pictures, which is also the film and television company responsible for the production and distribution of "White Night Walk".

The two met not long ago. Kei Fujiwara sold the film and television adaptation rights of "White Night Walk" and when he went to Matsui Films, considering Kei Fujiwara's current status in the broadcasting industry, Eiji Shirai entertained him personally.

As for the woman sitting opposite Eiji Shirai, Keiya Fujiwara finally recognized her as Momoka Kamiya. A professor at Waseda University's Faculty of Letters and a very famous writer and literary critic. Not long ago, I wrote a critical essay on "Homeless Children", which caused a sensation among readers. In the article, Kei Fujiwara was also praised.

Although Fujiwara Kei is also a writer, he is a mystery novelist. He is different from Kamiya Momoka's circle. He has never met each other, but has only heard each other's name.

"Fujiwara-san, I have admired you for a long time." Kamiya Momoxiang also recognized Fujiwara Kei at this time and stretched out her hand.

"Teacher Kamiya, I read your previous article in "The Call of the Wild" and it was very moving. I never thought you still have such a past."

Momoka Kamiya said: "That was also inspired by your work. "Homeless Children" is a very excellent TV series. I am very much looking forward to the second season."

Then you can't wait. Fujiwara Kei cursed in his heart.

"This is..." Shirai Eiji looked at Ohno Nagaharu. The people sitting down to eat with Fujiwara Kei must also be industry insiders, right?

"This is my friend, Ohno Nagaharu, who is now an independent director."

"Hi, nice to meet you." Shirai Eiji smiled and shook hands with Ono Nagaharu, but he didn't care too much about it.

Eiji Shirai has seen many independent directors and so on. These people call themselves film writers, but many of them are forced to be independent because they are not capable enough to be hired by large film and television companies and are unwilling to start from basic positions.

There is a saying that says that young people in their twenties who are unemployed often fantasize about being a writer (I almost cried when I first saw this sentence).

When this young man gets an 8mm camera, he will claim to be an independent director.

At this time, Shirai Eiji suddenly remembered something: "Are you here to participate in the film festival? Are there any works on display?"

Fujiwara Kei smiled and nodded: "Yes, the work that Ohno-san and I collaborated on is one of the works on display at this film festival. Ohno-san is responsible for supervision and I am responsible for the screenplay."

"Really?" Eiji Shirai was a little surprised. He didn't expect Kei Fujiwara to also participate in this film festival as a creator. It seems that in the future, peers cannot be treated as ordinary newcomers. Maybe a big boss like Kei Fujiwara will suddenly I want to play across borders.

"What's the name of the work?" Momoka Kamiya suddenly asked.

At this time, Kei Fujiwara saw the work badge Kamiya Momoka was wearing around her neck and asked, "Is Mr. Kamiya a reviewer of the film festival?"

Momoka Kamiya nodded: "Yes, although I am not an industry insider, I have published many film and television reviews, so I was invited to be a special audience this time."

Fujiwara Kei turned to look at Shirai Eiji again: "Is this the same for Special Agent Shirai?"

Eiji Shirai said: "Yes, I was invited too."

Fujiwara Keidao: "In this case, I can't tell you two, so as not to be suspected of using the back door. After all, Ohno and I's goal is to win the peer's first prize."
