Chapter 356 The Mother of a Genius Is Also a Genius
Yagami Mitsuko naturally knew Fujiwara Kei's intention, smiled at him and said: "I can consider it, but what are the singing skills of these two children?"
"Arimama Sai was born in a Kabuki family, and singing has been a must-have training since childhood. The same is true for Inoue Morimata. She has a beautiful voice. After becoming an artist, she was often trained by her own agency in singing. Although their singing skills are very good, It’s not as good as professional singers, but it’s not bad either.”
Hearing what Fujiwara Kei said, Yagami Mitsuko felt relieved, "Okay, I'm relieved if you say that. Anyway, I'll compile these songs first."
Fujiwara Kei nodded, chatted for a few words, and then returned to the performance hall. At this time, Arima Keixiang's rehearsal was also over, and she jumped off the stage like a little rabbit and walked away with Fujiwara Kei on her arm.
After a few months, "Spring and Autumn Literature Appreciation" finally published the preview of Kei Fujiwara's new book again, which aroused huge attention from readers.
Spring and Autumn Society announced the title of Fujiwara Kei's new book, and only three lines of advertisements appeared in the new issue of "Spring and Autumn Literature Appreciation":
Sima Keita's new work is coming, an unprecedented type of reasoning
Cruise ship of despair! Dangerous game! A scoundrel in adversity!
Gambling Apocalypse! The cry of a desperate gambler!
With just over thirty words, it instantly attracted huge attention from novel readers. Although the current issue of the magazine did not serialize the main text of Fujiwara Kei's novel, the sales of the current issue of the magazine increased a lot.
Of course, the day after the magazine was released, several more letters of complaint were sent to the magazine. They believed that the magazine was fraudulently advertising because they thought that issue contained the text of "Gambling Revelations", but it turned out that there was nothing. Only a thin line of text on the cover serves as advertising.
The magazine is also very helpless. It is clearly written on the cover that the main text will only be published in the next issue of the magazine. I don’t understand the impulsive consumption clearly. Do you blame me?
But on the one hand, it does reflect the market appeal of Kei Fujiwara's works. As the deputy director, Kazuhiko Itagaki also set a new task for all editors in the editorial department: next year's average magazine sales should continue to increase by 30% based on this year's. %, this is a difficult but not impossible task. In theory, it can be easily achieved as long as we find another author like Kei Fujiwara.
As a result, the editors in the editorial department were speechless. It was like someone telling you that it is not difficult to complete an A-level task. You only need to complete a prerequisite. It turns out that the difficulty of this prerequisite is S-level.
Forget it, let's work hard on increasing it... If we find another person with a task like Kei Fujiwara's, it would be troublesome for the Vice Minister to carry it out personally.
The Red and White Song Club also gave a reply and decided to adopt Fujiwara Kei's opinion and use the song "Fire with Fireworks", and the singers were Arimama Sai and Inoue Morimata.
The singers of the same song are a man and a woman. In fact, this is a bit inconsistent with the usual game rules of the Kohaku Song Club. Another name for Kohaku Uta Kai is NHK Kohaku Uta Battle, which is a battle-style game.
The red and white in the name of the program comes from the concept of red and white confrontation in Japanese kendo. The singers are also divided into red and white according to their gender, and they compete in a song competition. Of course, fighting is just a formality, and winning is not the main purpose.
Therefore, there is often no situation where men and women sing a song together, because we don’t know which camp the song should be classified into.
But in the past two years, songs featuring male and female collaborations have gradually begun to appear, mainly because directors and producers have gradually realized that this is not a competition after all, but a party, and there is no need to separate the camps so clearly.
NHK quickly contacted Inoue Morimata and Arimama Sai and asked them to come to NHK for rehearsal. Since Kei Fujiwara had greeted these two people in advance, the connection was smooth.
The rehearsal process went very smoothly. Although there was not as much preparation time as other singers, the performance of the two of them was above par.
At the same time, Koushiro Yagami gave Fujiwara Kei's song "Ride on the Back of the Silver Dragon" to a well-known veteran singer and asked her to sing it.
When I heard that she was going to sing a new song, the singer was originally reluctant to do so. Who knew which newcomer would write a song that she wanted to gild with her voice? But after hearing that the work that Kei Fujiwara produced was the work of his mother during his lifetime, the singer hesitated. After all, Kei Fujiwara's status in the industry was pretentious, and she was unwilling to offend someone who was still on the rise but whose status was A transcendent monster creator.
So even if you want to use her voice to gild it, she will accept it and form a good relationship. Even if the song is average, she still has a certain degree of confidence in singing it to the best effect.
If this song is rated at 50 points, she is confident that she can sing it to 70 points. Any more would be unrealistic.
As a result, after listening to the trial version of the song "Ride on the Back of the Silver Dragon", the singer was obviously impressed. Later, he listened to "Song of the Bamboo" and "Fire with Fireworks", and he was even more convinced that he could write this song. The talented songwriters of these songs are in awe. When I learned that Fujiwara's mother had passed away many years ago, I couldn't help but feel the same sadness and pity as Eikoro Yagami.
It seems that this party is going to be a memorial party for Kei Fujiwara's mother... Some staff couldn't help but think to themselves after knowing that three songs in a row were the work of a certain late songwriter.
But I’m not dissatisfied. I don’t think Fujiwara Kei is relying on his industry status to mess around in their NHK program, because these three songs are indeed outstanding, and no one with ears can deny it.
At the same time, I couldn’t help but sigh in my heart. Now I finally know where Mr. Fujiwara’s talent comes from. It seems that it is something that already exists in the genes...
Japan is a country that attaches great importance to the theory of blood. The children of businessmen are businessmen, the children of scholars are scholars, and the children of politicians are politicians. This is not an empty talk, but it has something to do. This phenomenon is very serious even in literary and artistic works. All the protagonists, as the story unfolds, later find out that they are all of a certain second generation.
So Fujiwara Kei suddenly took out a few masterpieces and said they were his mother's works. Instead of doubting others, they became more convinced and felt that it should be so. How could the person who gave birth to Fujiwara Kei be so simple?
Time is passing and New Year's Eve is getting closer and closer.
During the third rehearsal, Kei Fujiwara watched the whole performance, and the effect was indeed good. Koushiro Yagami also said excitedly: "On the day of the show, several helicopters will arrive at the Tokyo Broadcasting Center. The director originally planned to invite the royal family to make an appearance, but I didn't want those rice bugs to ruin the good mood of the audience. Originally, This year has been difficult enough... and there are still a bunch of ugly people. It’s really strange. Although you are so rich, why are the people you give birth to worse than the previous generation? "
Fujiwara Kei couldn't help but glance at Koushiro Yagami. Although there are many people in Japan who are dissatisfied with the royal family, there are very few who can curse in front of others like him. And Fujiwara Kei also remembered that he was not like this when he first met this dear man. He was very elegant and easy-going. Well, he is still elegant now.
