Chapter 189 Listening to thunder in a silent place
The next day, early morning.
At the "Homeless Child" ratings report analysis meeting, everyone was happy and very satisfied with the results - the average time-sharing rating of the first episode was 20.1%, and the highest time-sharing rating reached 21.9%.
Chihara Rinto was also very satisfied with the results, but the results were better than the results of the original drama, which was a bit beyond his expectation. But after thinking about it, he felt that it was normal, and this was not "Homeless Children"
The achievements achieved alone should also include the contributions of "Naoki Hansawa", "Unnatural Death" and "Human Observation". If it were not for the previous year's perseverance in accumulating viewers during this time period, the audience would have subconsciously attached great importance to this time period.
I am confident that the first episode may not be able to achieve the results that this nationally popular drama can achieve only when it is launched.
More importantly, the creation of a word-of-mouth prime time slot seems to be paying off. Even if the audience doesn't know the specific content of the show, they are still willing to wait to watch it at 8pm on Friday night. They feel that this should be one of the must-watch dramas this season.
This is particularly gratifying!
Tsumura Haruki is very excited. This is his first time as a director. If he can make a popular drama as a director for the first time, this will undoubtedly be of great help to his future - he is a person who likes to joke.
But now he was so excited that he stopped talking and just held the ratings report and trembled slightly.
It’s not easy. I started out as an assistant director and now it seems I’m finally making my mark. Thanks to Shingo Yoshizaki’s bad words for scolding Jiro Ishii, otherwise it wouldn’t have been my turn to follow Rinto Chihara when he fled to the Kanto Union in embarrassment.
, he just wanted to make some money here, but as a result, he gained so much, and life is full of surprises.
Murakami Iori's pressure has been greatly reduced. The previous three consecutive dramas had poor results, and she was worried about fighting to the end. Now with this result, she can at least cover up one or two, and her face will not be too ugly.
Keima Shiraki is also smiling. In fact, he worries more about this drama than Rinto Chihara. Now that he has achieved good results, he feels full of satisfaction.
Nishijima Rumi was still looking at Chihara Rinto without any trace, observing his reaction, but found that his expression had not changed, he was still very calm, and he had the air of a general who was not afraid of honor or disgrace.
Everyone was really satisfied. After all, who doesn't like good grades? They congratulated each other in low voices. Murakami Iori took out a white envelope and showed it to everyone happily. He asked with a smile: "Guess what this is?"
Everyone looked at it together and found that the envelope was crookedly written with "Please pass it to Rei-chan". Murakami Iori didn't hesitate anymore and opened the envelope directly. Inside were six banknotes, one was 10,000 yen, and five were 1,000 yen.
A total of fifteen thousand yen.
Chihara Rinto was stunned. She didn’t expect this to actually happen. The child star’s phrase in the original drama, “If you pity me, just give me money,” was very destructive. It attracted many people to send money to the TV station. Unexpectedly, Michiko was even more powerful.
Damn, this drama was aired last night, and the money was automatically delivered to your door this morning - the mail couldn't be so fast, someone must have delivered it in person.
He couldn't help but ask: "Who brought this?"
Iori Murakami shook his head and smiled: "I don't know. When I came this morning, the security guard handed it to me. It was said that an old lady in her sixties or seventies had taken it before dawn." She was very happy, not because she picked it up for nothing.
This small amount of money is spent, but it means that some viewers have a high level of recognition for the show, so high that they no longer care whether it is true or false.
She smiled again and asked: "Qianyuan, what should I do with this money?"
This money cannot be refunded. Chihara Rinto thought for a while and said with a smile: "Wait a minute, if there is still more, let's get together and donate it in the name of the crew... Well, plus Michiko's personal name, let's donate together."
Give it to child protection organizations, charity kind."
Murakami Iori was slightly startled. Will someone send money again? She thought it was unlikely. It was rare to have such a strange audience. Is it possible to form a team?
But she would not refute Chihara Rinto face to face. She usually pays great attention to maintaining Chihara Rinto's prestige in the team. If she really has an opinion, she will express it privately and immediately respond: "Okay, then wait a few days and the crew will be there."
You can also add some more and donate them to charity organizations."
Of course, she will definitely use this to post soft articles for publicity, so don’t expect her to waste the budget in vain, but needless to say this directly, it seems too utilitarian, which is not good.
Naturally, Chihara Rinto would not object. After saying "Okay", he put the meeting back on track and began to analyze the ratings report with everyone - good results are good results, but don't be careless. You still have to be down-to-earth in your work.
.
In the ratings report, the curve in the first half of the episode fluctuated slightly, but after Rei Aizawa confronted Mr. Katajima, that is, after she shouted the phrase "If you sympathize with me, give me money," the time-sharing ratings immediately increased.
It stabilized and started to rise all the way. It didn't fall back as usual at the end. Instead, it set the highest ratings in the last five minutes.
The situation is excellent, it has a good time slot, loyal fans, the quality of the script is passable, and Michiko's acting is reliable. As long as there are no major problems later, it will not be a big problem for this drama to achieve good results, and it can even try to hit the 40% ratings mark.
A bunch of them gathered together and had a good discussion for a while, and then they dispersed and went about their own business.
Chihara Rinto took Nishijima Rumi back to the office and started reviewing the scripts at the back of each drama as planned - he now has an extra [proofreading] skill, which is very useful in this regard. He can take a quick glance to avoid making typos or wrong sentences.
, even punctuation errors will not be missed, and even some logical errors will be reminded, allowing his work efficiency to be greatly improved again.
Of course, the episode writers and assistant writers felt very distressed when faced with a creative writer who could even mark typos, so they could only be more cautious when writing the script, for fear that when the script was written back, it would be full of red ticks, like
It's the same as getting a score of 0 on the test.
Rumi Nishijima watched silently for a while. She saw that he was looking at ten lines and moving his pen as fast as he could. He kept ticking the script. He only occasionally stopped to think for a moment, then wrote a line of notes or added a paragraph directly to the script. Then she
She looked away - it had been almost three months, and she had become accustomed to Chihara Rinto's "perverted" behavior, and felt that she could not understand the world of "geniuses".
The longer she followed Chihara Rinto, the more she felt that she had been overconfident before. Compared with Chihara Rinto, she was really useless, and she even lost a little confidence in becoming a producer - if she became a producer, she would be like Chihara Rinto.
If such a person competes at the same time, he will definitely be pinned to the ground and rubbed repeatedly, leaving him completely powerless to fight back.
There is absolutely no hypocrisy under the great reputation. As expected, it is just the wrong name, not the wrong nickname. A ghost is a ghost, and he is really as perverted as a ghost.
It's true. She thought about it carefully. If she were in Qianhara Rinto's position, she would either be hospitalized due to overwork or be unable to complete such a large workload and be directly forced to death by her subordinates.
But this guy is still alive and kicking, and his work efficiency is frightening - the TV station is really making a lot of money by offering him a salary, and offering five times the salary for such a person is not excessive.
As Chihara Rinto's assistant, Chihara Rinto was dealing with paperwork. She had nothing to do for the time being. She stayed there for dozens of seconds, picked up a newspaper, and flipped to the home entertainment section to read it.
It took a while, but she immediately discovered that it was different from the previous few days. Today's home entertainment edition had a large number of drama reviews about "Homeless Children" - "The Cold and Warm World", "The Stick" and "Obstetrician Hongniao"
"I didn't get this kind of treatment. After the premiere, critics didn't even mention it. It felt like I hadn't watched it.
She thought about it and quickly understood. She knew that these five dramas were controlled by Chihara Rinto himself. At most, she could only say that the level of concern was strong or weak. But outsiders didn't know, and they probably only thought that he was dead at most.
The reputation of quality control is that the TV station is consuming his fame. It simply does not believe that he has the energy to worry about five dramas at the same time. Instead, he only regards the 8 o'clock slot on Friday night as his real work.
It was reasonable. If she didn't know Qianhara Rinto, it would be difficult to imagine that a person could go to such an extent.
After she figured it out, she actually became a little curious and took a closer look at what these drama critics said.
I didn't mention Chihara Rinto much, but instead focused on Michiko, praising her for her excellent acting skills, her unlimited future, and her creation of a perfect "Rei Aizawa".
Acting is a very imaginary and subjective thing, and sometimes it is difficult to compare. However, drama critics generally believe that Michiko's performance has reached a certain level in terms of sound, form, expression and artistic conception. No one thinks that she is
While acting, I thought she was Rei Aizawa, and Rei Aizawa was her.
This is not easy. "Voice" usually refers to the line skills. In addition to the meaning of the lines themselves, you can also use tone and intonation to convey something, while "form" refers to the information conveyed to the audience through the body.
For example, a calm voice combined with a trembling hand while lighting a cigarette can allow the audience to understand the current state of the character, and even see the character's heart, and the character will stand up.
If an actor can do well in these two aspects, it is considered good, and the "expression" behind it is even more difficult. If you want to convey enough information through expression, let the audience understand the current state of the character and what is thinking in his heart. This
You need to carefully consider the role and try it over and over again in front of the mirror - many directors dare not give close-ups of actors' faces, because the actors are not up to par in terms of "expression". If they really give close-ups of faces, the audience will be moved instantly.
Nishijima Rumi was stunned when she saw this. She recalled that when making the script, Chihara Rinto emphasized many key points and asked for a close-up of Michiko's face in the script. It was obvious that she had full confidence in Michiko's strength from the beginning.
No wonder she was named to star, no wonder she can enjoy the privilege of creating a script around her, not just because of the relationship between master and apprentice, but because of her own strength. The master and apprentice are a perfect match!
Nishijima Rumi was distracted for a moment, then looked down and found that in terms of "artistic conception", drama critics still rated Michiko very highly - the sound, shape, and expression were combined perfectly, and only then can we say that the performance was great."
Artistic conception", in the eyes of the audience there are only characters and no actors.
In other words, being able to perform to this point is a great success for the actor, and it will have a "sucking" effect. As long as the character appears on the screen, the audience's attention will be concentrated and they will not be able to look away at all, let alone change the channel.
, and if the audience doesn’t change the channel, the ratings will not drop.
Rumi Nishijima is not a director and doesn’t know much about acting, but after reading the reviewer’s comments, I feel that she is right.
I really didn't choose the wrong actor. I really didn't realize that the little girl Michiko has such acting ability, can be so dedicated, and care so much about the character - to be able to perform such an effect, you said Michiko hasn't tried it hundreds of times in private, repeatedly
After thinking about it, she was the first one not to believe it!
It’s rare, he is indeed an excellent actor!
Nishijima Rumi's affection for Michiko increased greatly, and then she continued to read other drama reviews, and found that apart from praising Michiko's acting skills, not many people mentioned the plot of "Homeless Child". It seems that it is because the plot has not been developed?
She thought for a while and felt that something was wrong. The plot of "Homeless Children" unfolded very quickly, and there were still many discussion points in the plot, but why weren't there?
After a moment, she suddenly realized that these drama critics did not need to discuss the plot, they only needed to mention it, because everyone already agreed that this was an excellent work, and it was created by Chihara Rinto, so it was natural that it was good.
Yes, without talking nonsense, why not talk more about Michiko's acting skills, this is new to readers...
Rumi Nishijima is really speechless. Only the first episode has been aired, and the drama critics have already collectively agreed that it must be a good work. I can only say that it is the unique reputation of a great screenwriter and great producer - usually, the first episode has been aired.
, drama critics tend to talk less and observe more to avoid damaging their professional reputation, but Chihara Rinto’s accumulated reputation can ignore this and is worthy of praise from others.
This is really awesome!
Nishijima Rumi was sighing secretly there. She obviously didn't mention Chihara Rinto much, but after thinking about it, she felt like hearing thunder in silence. Chihara Rinto also noticed that she was flipping through the newspaper there, and asked casually with a smile.
Said: "Are you reading the reviews of the drama?"
"Yes." Nishijima Rumi immediately replied: "It's been well received overall. Congratulations, Chihara-san."
"Those are just idiots. Don't pay too much attention to those remarks. We only need to care about what the audience thinks." Qianhara Rinto spoke, picked up the messy office, took out a folder and handed it to her.
, smiled and said: "You can take a look at this, this is what is really helpful."
