Chapter 402 Mahjong Masters Tournament
Author: Sima Guitai
Looking at Fujiwara Kei's strange expression, Shirai Eiji knew that he had misunderstood, waved his hand and said: "Teacher Fujiwara, you are overthinking, I definitely did not betray Matsuri. I only decided to join Nichido after I left."
In fact, it has been Nobi-san’s long-cherished wish for me to leave Songri.”
Eiji Shirai smiled: "After all, I have always appeared as a competitor within Matsunichi Pictures. 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 has always been wary of me."
While pouring wine for Kei Fujiwara, Eiji Shirai said: "In the enterprise, that kind of business story about maintaining a good cooperative relationship after competition... is just a legend after all. In fact, Nobi-san has always had a faint affection for me.
hostility."
"And what about myself? To be fair, I don't have that broad-mindedness. If I have the chance, I also want to be the president of this club, so his precautions against me are not unreasonable. I thought before, if I can
In one fell swoop, Matsunichi Pictures' self-produced films can rise to the top, even surpassing Dongjin's. Maybe they can show their ability in front of the board of directors and have the opportunity to touch that position. Mr. Fujiwara, you gave me hope of accomplishing this.
But Nobi-san will not cooperate so easily."
Shirai Eiji said with emotion: "Well, actually leaving is not a bad thing. Although Nikki is not as strong as Matsuhiko, my freedom in Nikki has become greater, and I can do more what I want to do in the future."
It’s over.”
Having said this, Eiji Shirai looked at Kei Fujiwara: "Ms. Fujiwara, I heard that Mizuha Productions plans to produce six films within two years. Can you allocate three quotas to me?"
Kei Fujiwara thought for a while and said: "I can reach this intention with you first and sign a cooperation agreement for a movie, but whether the next two movies can be decided depends on how the cooperation goes with this one... I
After all, I have never cooperated with Nichido, so I am willing to achieve this intention because of Shirai-san's face."
My previous experience of cooperating with Matsuri Pictures was not a pleasant one. Not only were there various attempts to parachute personnel on the crew during the early stages of filming, but it was also the indifferent attitude of the theaters during the distribution stage. It was also the fact that "Confession" opened up the market with its own hard power.
The distribution department reluctantly and shyly increased the film schedule.
"Confession" did not achieve the box office of Kei Fujiwara's ideal of 5 billion. Although it was not far behind, Kei Fujiwara felt that all the responsibility lay with Matsui.
Fujiwara Kei and Dongzhen Pictures also signed an agreement for two works. Dongzhen's president Matsubara Yuichi made Fujiwara Kei see the sincerity of this company, and believed that with Matsubara Yuichi's support, this company would not face anything
There are constraints, so I am willing to agree to cooperate. And Shirai... after all, he is not going to be the president of Nichido, so he still has to observe it for a while.
After hearing this, Eiji Shirai raised his glass and said with a smile: "Okay, Mr. Fujiwara, I hope we can have a happy cooperation again."
…
The morning drama "Here Comes Asa" has officially started filming. The shooting location is NHK's No. 1 Production Center. Kei Fujiwara is only responsible for providing the script and does not participate in the actual directing work.
"Here Comes Ah Qian" is also filmed and broadcasted at the same time, but it requires a few more episodes to be saved. Because the morning drama is broadcast every day, five episodes a week instead of just one episode. However, since each episode only has a dozen
minutes, so the total duration of the film is about the same as that of an ordinary TV series.
As the production of "Asa Is Here" is in full swing, the old people from the Yuejiu team can't sit still again. Although they have previously received a promise from Yui Mizuhara to let them participate in the production of the prime-time TV series,
After waiting for another week, there was still no news, which made them feel like they were scratching their hearts.
So Hasegawa Hide and others once again asked Nishimura Taro to ask Fujiwara Kei if he had any plans to produce a new drama in the future. In exchange, Nishimura Taro only replied with one word: Get lost.
You have to ask yourself, I will never show up again anyway. Anyway, I am now in a peaceful state of mind. I can feel at ease whether I have a production plan or not, so don’t bother me, Amitabha.
Hasegawa Hide and others had faces like bitter gourds. After Nishimura Taro saw it, he also felt a sense of schadenfreude and said in his heart: I want you bastards to stab me in the back.
The reason why he is not in a hurry is because he recently learned that Fujiwara Kei, Mizuhara Yui and others are in contact with major TV stations to promote new projects. They are still in talks, but it is estimated that they will be completed in less than a week or two.
It's confirmed. The new drama can be released in the summer or autumn time. So he is not in a hurry.
The ordinary staff here were extremely anxious, but on the other side, Kei Fujiwara was calmly participating in the 65th "Mahjong Masters Tournament".
The Mahjong Masters Tournament in Japan has a long history. The participants are mainly people from the cultural and sports academic circles. The participating members are composed of well-known actors, writers, journalists, cartoonists, national Go players, and scholars.
However, it seems that professional national Go players were no longer allowed to participate in the competition. These guys were too good at calculations and their brains cheated, so they were deprived of their qualifications.
Mahjong is very popular in Japan, especially in the cultural circles, and almost all players are masters of playing cards. The champion of the last Mahjong Masters was none other than Mr. Ensuke Kato of TTV.
Although his legs and feet are weak, his fingers are extremely flexible and sharp. He can make stocks fly up and down in his hands. He also has the miraculous ability to know the cards by just touching them without looking at them. This is why other contestants respectfully call these hands "
"Kato's Finger".
Kei Fujiwara failed miserably in the last "Mahjong Masters", but this time he came with his head held high. The other contestants smiled disdainfully when they saw Kei Fujiwara, preparing to give him a heavy blow this time.
Let me know that playing mahjong is more difficult than filming a TV series or a movie.
Let your boy dance as usual!
Kei Fujiwara looked at his colleagues in the broadcast industry who were staring at him with half-smiling eyes. He geared up, swallowed subconsciously, and then asked the people next to him uneasily.
"These guys have disliked me for a long time...can you handle it?"
"Leave it to me." A firm but charming voice sounded in my ears.
Arima Keixiang was wearing a white windbreaker, with her hands on her hips, looking back at the people around her with sharp eyes.
"Whether it's pai gow, mahjong, playing golden flowers, competing for the top spot... I've never lost since I was a kid!"
Fujiwara Kei felt that this was true, because Matsumoto Konemon originally planned to participate in the Mahjong Masters because his card skills were also good and he had won the championship. However, after hearing that Arima Keika was going to join Fujiwara Kei's camp
When they were attending together, their expressions suddenly changed, and they finally excused themselves by saying that they were busy today, so they decided not to attend.
Through Arimama Sai, Fujiwara Kei knew that on New Year's Eve, the geishas of Shiraturuya had the traditional habit of playing mahjong to keep the New Year's Eve, but since Arima Katsura touched mahjong tiles for the first time when she was fourteen years old, they gradually gave up on it.
This is an entertainment hobby.
According to Arimamasai, there is no difference between playing cards with Arima Keika and putting the money in a sack and throwing it into the water...
On a recent bad day, Katsura Arima and Kei Fujiwara spent time together, so the people in Shirakuruya happily played mahjong again, which was a feeling they hadn't seen in a long time.
The Masters Tournament is a team points-based competition. The Japanese mahjong rules are different from those in China, and it also tests personal tactics. Within three rounds, Kei Fujiwara was defeated and lost points continuously. However, Keixiang Arima got better and better.
He fought bravely and finally reached the finals.
Ensuke Kato also entered the finals. He and Keika Arima had about the same points. When the final round was decided, the atmosphere was extremely tense. Junaki Hidaka also came, holding up a camera to take pictures, saying that he wanted to record it.
The master's heroic appearance when he finally won, but he kept taking pictures and put the camera down.
The fierce battle lasted for a long time, and Kato Ensuke began to sweat on his forehead. He kept wiping the sweat with a handkerchief. Finally, there was only a "pop" sound, and Arima Katsura pushed a row of mahjong onto the table: "That's crazy."
Immediately afterwards, he bowed slightly towards Ensuke Kato: "I agree, Mr. Kato."
Other colleagues in the broadcast industry also slumped in their chairs in disappointment after learning that Kei Fujiwara's team, led by Keika Arima, finally dominated the field.
It's over, I will be tortured by Kei Fujiwara in mahjong from now on...
Chapter completed!
