Chapter 17 Ratings are the lifeblood

Qianhara Rinto, no, it should be said that Lu Zhishou's tutor when he was in college was a somewhat unscrupulous person. While engaged in the sacred work of teaching and educating people, he often took on some private work from outside the school, and occasionally dragged students to work for him.

Dangdang Coolie, as it is called: social internship, understands the sinister human heart in advance, and accepts the beating of cold reality.

However, this bad tutor loves money a little bit, but he still has a good way of teaching, and he doesn't cope with it.

He created a word game "Ratings are the Lifeblood" as a teaching material to provide freshmen with a simple understanding of some terminology of the directing profession, the program production process and the division of labor responsibilities of each position. He believed that this would be better than letting these stupid students aged 18 or 19

It’s better to memorize textbooks.

He wrote the copy of the game himself, and the program was developed by sending girls from the acting department to hook up with the science and engineering boys from the college next door. Not only was he not given a dime, but the beauties from the acting department also gained three pounds, so they were considered empty gloves.

A typical example of White Wolf making a lot of money, but those men in science and engineering didn't seem to care.

As for the game, it is quite interesting. Students need to try various "jobs" in the game, understand various information, answer various questions, and deal with various common events in order to produce good works and achieve certain ratings.

Requirements, and then you can go to the teacher to hand in the homework. Bad tutors will give scores based on the built-in data in the game to determine whether the students have a preliminary understanding of the major.

Of course Lu Zhishou also played it when he was a freshman. He couldn't do it without playing. This was homework, and his score was quite high. The main reason was that he had a strong plan, a tenacious temperament, and could sit still. He was very suitable for this boring, complex and trivial game.

.

As for the performance of the built-in data, he didn't know. Only his mentor knew that. However, his mentor looked at him differently from then on and often caught him doing hard labor. He once suspected that the game was a coolie screening tool for unscrupulous mentors, but later

It doesn't matter, why bother with so much learning?

Of course, there are also people who want to take shortcuts and cheat, but their skills are not as good as those professional men in science and engineering. They are basically caught out and end up badly. They are ordered to memorize the textbook and take the exam if they don’t want to play games, otherwise they will be regarded as bad instructors with zero points in the exam.

The questions will be given in person. Anyone who cheats will fail the exam and will have to stay in school collectively during the winter vacation to make up the exam.

After the basic theory course ended in the first half of the freshman year, the game "Ratings Are Lifeblood" was thrown aside by Lu Zhishou and was never taken care of again.

Almost two years have passed, and he really forgot that this thing was still on the hard drive.

Now the more he read this line, the more it sounded like the prompt in "Ratings are the Lifeblood". He hurriedly searched through his memory and finally filtered out a lot of audio and video fragments and found the coolie screening game "Ratings are the Lifeblood".

Is it still a familiar interface or a familiar taste, but can it interact with reality?

What is the principle?

While thinking about this question that he might never find the answer to, he habitually clicked on the character panel:

Name: Chihara Rinto

Title: None

Energy value:78/100

Screenwriter: lv1

Director: not active

Producer: not activated

Current professional skills: [Format Writing], [Spiritual Observation]

General skills: [Scout lv1]

Funds held: 10,000

Possessions: None

Finally, there was a blood-red "+" sign under "Possessed Objects". Chihara Rinto opened it silently and found that it was indeed the same old style: only these convenient tools are allowed, and whoever cheats will be responsible for the consequences!

He turned off the nostalgic "Threat Statement" again, then clicked on "Purchase of Held Items", and directly spent the initial 10,000 yuan on purchasing tools [Distraction and Dual-Use]. After equipping this item,

You will be able to divide your time and complete two tasks at the same time.

He is very familiar with this game and knows that it is an early artifact. He can hang up in the background to write "scripts" while hooking up with actors. It is a double-player in disguise, which can save a lot of game time. However, now that he is in the real world, he should not be too

Maybe I was running here and there while writing the script. At most, I only had meetings and visited the filming location while writing the script?

Not bad, at least this way you won’t spend most of your time on the desk, and with a starting capital of 10,000 yuan, you can only choose one of the three basic holdings. [Distraction and dual use] is already the most practical.

Those two [Flattery Magic Skills] and [Discovering a Special Talent] are even more annoying.

[Flattery Magic] After using it, you can have a chance of getting a sudden promotion, investment from a rich woman and other lucky events, but it also has big side effects. For example, the rich woman will make some special requests, and if you don't do it, she will fall out with you.

And "Discover a special talent" is even more useless in the early stage. I haven't formed a team yet, and it's not very stable. Once you discover a talent, people don't necessarily have to work with you. Maybe ten thousand dollars will be wasted.

piece.

Then there are more advanced items, such as [Energy Restoration Potion], [Acting Explosion Pill], [Beauty Filter], etc. Nowadays, you can’t afford them at all, and you don’t even need to look at them.

This game is actually very simple and mindless. After all, it is just a gadget that allows students to experience the work of a director in advance. The role of teaching is greater than entertainment. To be honest, it is of no use. The bad teacher puts the holding object on it just to speed up the process.

Check out the progress of the game to prevent students from playing endlessly.

There is nothing else. Even if you are really in the game, you still have to write the script yourself, find the funds yourself, and find the actors yourself. Even if it is just a little bit, all the necessary steps must be taken.

…………

"Qianyuan-kun? Qianyuan-kun??"

Chihara Rinto suddenly came back to his senses and turned to Murakami Iori, who asked with concern: "What's the matter, Chihara-kun? If you are tired, you can go and rest. It's okay."

She wanted to ask Chihara Rinto for his opinion on the actor just now, but found that Chihara Rinto, who had always been very stable, was actually in a daze. She couldn't help but start to wonder if he had been overused recently... She kept urging him to write more, and he also

It's really hard. You can't move even when you sit down. Could you be on the verge of death from overwork?

Qianhara Rinto temporarily turned off the game and said with a smile: "I'm fine. Did Ms. Murakami want to ask her opinion about the actor just now?"

"Yes, what do you think?" Murakami Iori took a closer look at him and found that he seemed to be energetic again, so he put his worries aside for the time being.

"I have no idea." Chihara Rinto said the truth directly.

"I understand." Murakami Iori is not surprised. Chihara Rinto was obviously in a daze just now and felt like he was about to fall asleep. It is strange to have an opinion.

The casting work continued, and the next person who came in was Kenta Ohno, the high-priced product that the producer, director and assistant director were all optimistic about. Rinto Chihara held his chin with both hands, and seemed to be watching carefully, but in fact he started to try out his skills.

.

[Format Writing] Don't worry, this is for assisting writing. As long as you activate the screenwriter level, you will have this non-upgradeable passive skill.

Now that I think about it, it should have been activated when I signed the temporary main screenwriter contract. Writing the script the next day did feel a lot easier, the efficiency was greatly increased, and the energy consumption was greatly reduced, but I didn't notice it at the time.

[Spiritual Observation] I have tried it, and it should be automatically triggered when I encounter casting. This skill is equivalent to the screenwriter's intuition. It directly compares the character and the actor, without considering anything else. It is relatively easy to use, but it is not omnipotent.

Yes, if you choose an actor based on this alone, you will most likely choose someone who is very similar to the character but has no acting skills.

But if it weren't for this skill, Chihara Rinto probably wouldn't have discovered that the game "Ratings Are Lifeblood" had followed him in a few months. He had always been only interested in those audio and video fragments.

Of course, he also took a look at the spiritual compatibility between Kenta Ohno and the role of "narrator" and found that it reached 76%, which is the highest among the three candidates.

Then, he activated the [Scout] skill and stared at Kenta Ohno carefully for a while. Sure enough, he could see the data sheet of a certain actor as before.

Stage name: Kenta Ohno

Name:???

Brokerage company:ite Performing Arts Brokerage Company

Age: 37 years old

Height: 176cm

Weight: 67kg

Popularity:???

Appearance:???

Probability of breaking out in acting:???

Chance of poor acting performance:???

Chance of award improvement:???

trick:???

Know-how:???

personal statement:???



[Scout] This skill is upgradeable. Currently at level 1, Chihara Rinto wiped his face and turned it off. Before spending money to upgrade, it was as useless as before. The key data were basically "???"

.

By the way, bad tutors are really cheating. They have made a lot of fancy things, but few of them are useful!

He directly observed the actor's performance with his naked eyes. He felt that it was more reliable this way. By the way, he equipped the [Distraction Dual Use]. Then he felt that his brain seemed to be divided into two work areas, and one of them started to search busy

The audio and video fragments were restored into a script, a performance that judged Kenta Ohno. They did not interfere with each other and each had its own system. At the same time, the hands automatically moved and began to write line by line on the notebook.

Fortunately, there is still something reliable, but the energy value seems to be dropping a bit fast. It was not like this before. Could it be that the energy value now refers to the fatigue level of one's brain?

Murakami Iori heard the "swishing" sound of the pen scratching the paper, and looked over in surprise. He was surprised to see that the content written under the pen seemed to be a script.

Is this inspiration coming? Was he thinking about the script when he was in a daze just now? Great, no need to worry about him dying of overwork, he can continue to press the draft...

She no longer bothered Chihara Rinto. Since he was here anyway, he would naturally express his opinion if he had any opinions. Instead, after Kenta Ohno left, she discussed it with Arima Fujii: "How do you feel, Fujii-kun?"

"It's better than Takeda." Fujii Arima told the truth, but judging performances is more subjective. It's normal for different people to have different opinions. He asked again: "Who does Ms. Murakami think is the most suitable among these three people?"

"I also think Ohno's performance is better, but his salary requirements..." Murakami Iori turned over the information sheet, feeling a little embarrassed.

If possible, she would of course hope that all the actors would be popular national stars, but the sad budget reminded her that it would be better not to dream.

"Is it much different?"

"It's almost twice as high as Takeda's. He also demands a high copyright share. I feel like the organization committee is unlikely to agree."

Fujii Arima pondered for a moment. He hopes to use actors with better acting skills, but he cannot care about the life or death of the producer. After all, the current cooperation atmosphere is still very harmonious. The screenwriter is a boring gourd. As long as you don't interfere in his affairs, he will not interfere.

Regarding your matter, the producer is even more easy to talk to. He basically coaxes everyone to work. He is not tough at all and is perfect.

He smiled and said: "Then let Miss Murakami make the decision!"

"Choose Ichima Takeda!" Murakami Iori was not polite. After all, the budget was too small and there was really no other way.

Rinto Chihara didn't care. Kenta Ohno is more similar to the character, and his acting skills are better. However, after analyzing the specific situation, it is obviously more sensible to choose a cost-effective one. Otherwise, one actor will take up too much of the budget, and the overall quality will not be improved.

Good will drop more.

Thinking about it this way, the skill [Spiritual Matching] doesn't feel very useful...

The role of "narrator" was settled, and next came the role of Miho, the little girl who played the most important role in the opening sketch of the first episode. However, this time it didn't go so smoothly.

In order to save money, the crew decided to find print models and advertising models. However, the first few girls all had suitable looks, but their acting skills were all problematic. They were quite good at posing, and could change more than ten poses in an instant, making them very cute and cute.

But when they were asked to act, it was obvious that they were not used to it. Apart from their sweet smiles, their other expressions were all fake.

This kind of role is only suitable for a little girl who plays her true character, but it is not suitable for the role of Miho. That role still requires acting skills.

Qianhara Rinto shook his head again and again, feeling that the crew was really miserable if they had no money.

Iori Murakami and Arima Fujii were also disappointed. If nothing worked, they would either move the short drama to a later date or spend more money to hire a child actor.

At this time, the last young actor came in. Chihara Rinto took a closer look and found that this little girl was eleven or twelve years old. She had a neat hairstyle, smooth long hair, and was black and shiny like crow feathers.

Moreover, her eyes are particularly beautiful, and her smile is crooked. She is as pure as a clear spring, allowing people to look at her to the end.

She is also very well-educated. She bows politely when she enters the door: "Hello, teachers. I am Michiko Fukazawa. Please give me your advice."

Qianhara Rinto looked at the skill prompts in the corner of his eyes, his brows twitching slightly. The spiritual matching rate was 81%. The previous highest score for a little girl was only 42%.

The character of Miho is half an innocent little girl and half a dark adult soul. So now that Michiko fits so well, what is going on?

But no matter what the situation is, as long as her acting skills are decent and her pay is not high, she should be the best choice for this role.
