Murakami Iori was really polite. Probably because women in the Japanese workplace in the 1990s really couldn't be tough, so they actually planned to send Chihara Rinto away first and then go to work on her. She had to run to the main building anyway, which would basically be delayed.
Not much time.
They took the elevator to the lobby on the first floor together. Iori Murakami was still talking about trivial things: "I will arrange a chore assistant for you later to help you run errands and so on. After all, you have just arrived and are not familiar with this place. In addition, I will arrange a chore assistant for you."
, I will plan a schedule later, you have an idea of when the production meeting will be held, and arrange the writing progress in advance..."
This female producer is so attentive. Chihara Rinto had nothing to say and could only keep nodding. But then someone from far away suddenly said hello: "What a coincidence, isn't this the producer Murakami?"
The voice was very magnetic and the address was very polite, but a hint of ridicule could be heard. Qianhara Rinto turned around and frowned slightly.
A man in his thirties, wearing a three-piece exquisite handmade suit, was walking quickly, followed by his "ex-girlfriend" Airi Kondo.
Although I had guessed that we would inevitably meet him, but when we actually met him, I still felt a little troubled by a planned person like him. The most annoying thing is the possibility of accidents. Who knows what this "ex-girlfriend" can do
What happened?
He hopes that the world can run like a mechanical clock, precise and controllable, but unfortunately reality always refuses to cooperate.
Murakami Iori was silent for a moment, and first bowed slightly to greet: "Hello, Ishii-senpai."
Ishii came closer and seemed to be as kind as a senior, but he was not polite with his hands. He patted Murakami Iori's shoulder hard, as if trying the feel of her shoulder pads, and said with a smile: "No wonder I invited you to be my assistant before.
You didn't want to come. It turns out you had a plan in mind, but..." He paused and his smile became subtle, "Night-night drama is not a good choice. I really didn't expect the smart and capable Miss Murakami to make such a mistake.
."
Iori Murakami forced a smile and said: "Night dramas are also a program that the station needs, and someone always needs to do it."
"It turns out that Ms. Murakami thinks so. Instead of working as a producer assistant during prime time, she wants to work on programs that no one watches... Well, let me think about it, what is the name of the late-night drama that is being broadcast now? The previous one
The producer seems to be in a hurry to finish it and go to the satellite channel, right? He made a mistake before and was assigned to it, right? What is the name of his program? Sorry, I never paid attention to it, and I can't remember it at the moment.
But the highest ratings seem to be only 1.1%, right?”
"It's "The House of Horror" produced by Taketa Producers. We will take over their schedule..."
Ishii waved his hand casually and said with a smile: "Who cares? Needless to say." Then he asked with interest: "Murakami, can you really take on the heavy responsibility of a producer? This position is not what you imagined.
It’s so easy to do, but most men can’t do it!”
This is indeed true. Trivial matters in all aspects, intricate interpersonal relationships, huge psychological pressure caused by the unpredictable future, and resentment among subordinates caused by working overtime are really difficult to do, and it is very easy for people to lose control of their emotions and collapse.
Moreover, in Japan in the 1990s, 99% of this industry was male. Even for programs that specialized in the female family market, the producers were basically men, and women could basically only assist on one side.
But facts are facts. When Ishii said this, his provocation was particularly obvious.
Iori Murakami took a deep breath, her attitude was still very obedient, she lowered her head slightly, and said softly: "I am mentally prepared, and I will work hard, senior."
"Then come on!" Ishii patted her shoulder hard again and said with a meaningful smile: "You can come to me at any time if you regret it, but the conditions are not the same as last time, you understand."
Then, he didn't wait for Murakami Iori's reply, let alone Chihara Rinto, and walked away with Kondo Airi. From the beginning to the end, Kondo Airi didn't say a word, just stood in that Ishii with a low eyebrow.
The seniors behind me were probably quite nervous.
She had a bright future and was about to become famous. She didn't dare to look at Chihara Rinto for fear of something happening. Moreover, she suspected that Chihara Rinto had hooked up with this stupid woman like Murakami Iori. She was a waste and a dead-brained person.
match.
But she didn't care, it was better than pestering her anyway. She wished she could never see Chihara Rinto again, otherwise she would become famous. When a large number of reporters came to interview her, the ex-boyfriend jumped out and made nonsense, saying that he had dated her.
He even slept with her, how embarrassing it is!
Just thinking about it gave her a headache, but she hadn't figured out how to solve this problem yet. She was so worried that she could hardly sleep, so she could only pretend not to see him for the time being.
When I was young, I was ignorant and my eyesight was too shallow. I was deceived by a few famous brand bags. I regret it so much!
…
Murakami Iori waited until Ishii had gone far before he raised his head. Chihara Rinto actually wanted to interrupt just now, at least to support his companions. He still has a strong sense of teamwork, but just as he was about to speak, Murakami Iori secretly pulled him away.
I knew that Murakami Iori was afraid that he would conflict with this man due to his youthful arrogance and cause unnecessary trouble, so I kept watching, but I was really unhappy. Ishii almost pointed at Murakami Iori's nose.
If you say that a woman can't be a producer, she just overestimates her abilities and is very annoying.
He asked directly: "Who is this?"
To be honest, even if it is relatively casual in Japan for seniors to reprimand and question juniors, the ridicule and sarcasm still make people feel very excessive. It makes people feel that women are vaguely suffering from workplace discrimination. No wonder Japan has reached the beginning of the 21st century.
, it was also criticized as a semi-feudal and semi-capitalist country. It turns out that it was even more outrageous in the 1990s!
Murakami Iori and him continued to walk out. After taking a deep breath, he quickly adjusted his mentality. He seemed to have gotten used to it. He smiled and said: "His name is Ishii Jiro, and his father is the Ishii specialist in Taili."
It turned out to be a second-generation official. No wonder he was so arrogant. Qianhara Rinto smiled and asked again: "He invited you?"
"Yes, more than a month ago, he asked me to quit the show at that time to be his assistant, but his reputation... was not very good, and he was not easy to get along with, and he made some... very rude remarks.
I refused the request, and I guess he felt uncomfortable."
Iori Murakami's voice was a little helpless. In fact, she had been avoiding Jiro Ishii. Fortunately, Ishii was filming at the production base in Chitanda. The production base there is newer and larger than the main one, including a river and a small lake.
There is an artificial forest, a group of buildings imitating the Edo period, and a castle tower built on a nearby mountain. It is just a look-alike and can only be seen from the front.
That base is probably equivalent to China's film and television city. It is very convenient for filming Dahe dramas (costumes) and Ronin dramas.
But unfortunately, they were from the same department after all. No matter how hard we hid, we ran into each other again today. I guess he had something to do when he returned to the production bureau.
Qianhara Rinto nodded silently, feeling that that boy Ishii probably had some bad thoughts about Murakami Iori, a broad-shouldered white-bones guy, and he felt uncomfortable because he hurt his male self-esteem after being rejected. Of course, it is also possible that Murakami Iori is really smart and capable.
That kid really needs a good assistant. If he doesn't get one, his love will turn into hatred.
He didn't ask in detail, so as not to embarrass his companion, and asked instead: "How are the ratings of his show?"
"It hasn't aired yet. It's scheduled to premiere in January next year. But he has to hire a lot of popular actors, so it's difficult to coordinate the schedule. The crew started filming earlier."
"What about before?"
"Above the passing line, his ability is relatively..." Murakami Iori is very well-educated. He obviously hates that person, but he is still unwilling to say bad words easily, so he just evades the past, "But his screenwriter is a veteran screenwriter and director.
It’s also top-notch.”
Qianyuan Rin nodded clearly. In other words, relying on the resources of his father's generation, he ran fifty meters first in the 100-meter race in life? But before doing anything, as a person, according to his way of life, it felt like he ran fifty meters first.
It's not of much use either.
He didn't take this kind of people seriously. Even if he hadn't traveled through Welfare, he still looked down on this kind of people. Not many of these people could play a good hand of cards. He smiled and said directly: "Then let's show him the win later.
Teach him a profound lesson, let him know about Miss Murakami’s production ability, and be more polite in the future.”
Murakami Iori was speechless for a moment, and couldn't help but really laugh. She showed her unique feminine charm for a moment, thinking that Chihara Rinto was joking, just to comfort her. The premiere and reruns of the film were all in good time, and the ratings started at 15%.
How to win?
It's a blessing that the ratings of our first broadcast can match the single digit ratings of the other party's reruns. If we want to compare, we can only compare it with previous night dramas. Based on the current budget and personnel of the crew, it can exceed the highest ratings of previous night dramas.
She was satisfied if she was quick and didn't dare to think too much about anything else. After all, the greater the expectations, the greater the disappointment.
She felt that Qian Yuan Rin was really nice and different from other men. She supported him in her heart, but she didn't show it on her face and said with a smile: "Don't worry about them, they can't affect us. Let's do our job well."
That’s fine.”
Chihara Rinto smiled and nodded: "Ms. Murakami is right."
Then he forgot about the matter. Judging from the behavior of his "ex-girlfriend" just now, she was probably more afraid of settling old scores than he was. Then there was a high probability that they would be fine. It seemed like there was no need to worry, so just do your best.
It is the last word that you must be strong in your work. In TV stations, nothing can illustrate the problem better than the ratings.
In 19 years, if you had not only a program with a ratings of 30%+, but also a program with a ratings of 3%, the director of the station would have to support you, and you would have to ask questions every day, and even the special staff would not be around.
When he arrived at the building, he stopped Iori Murakami from seeing him off and walked away on his own, but he couldn't help but sigh in his heart: No wonder Iori Murakami has always kept a low profile. It is estimated that many people have the same attitude as Ishii, even if they can't
It's as straightforward as the second officer expressed it, but the psychological reaction should be similar to that of a woman, just being an assistant is enough, but if you want to climb up the ladder, it will be a bit ungrateful.
Maybe a lot of people are waiting to see her jokes now!
Iori Murakami is also unlucky. She was born in the wrong country. If she were to be placed in China in the 1990s, she would probably cry with joy on the spot, and then transform into a fierce tigress, beating anyone she sees in the workplace.
She makes people scared when they see her, dogs are disgusted by dogs, and even the water dispenser trembles when she sees her!
She didn't have to live so carefully, which is a pity.
