Chihara Rinto very much hoped that Michiko would not waste her acting talent, and had been trying to persuade her. However, this child smiled sweetly on the outside, but was actually sensitive and suspicious on the inside. He was afraid that if he said too much and made mistakes, he would cause misunderstanding and hurt the child.
, we can only hope that she will slowly change her mind.
He didn't say much. He looked at "Homeless Children" and saw that everything was normal, then turned around and went to "The Warm and Cold World" next door.
This drama was originally supposed to rent a few private houses, but considering that it would take a long time to film, it was planned to be filmed continuously for at least one year - this drama is low-cost, the plot is also trivial, and some parents are short-lived. There are 50 episodes in one season, and in the end
After some discussion, everyone decided to set up a scene in a large studio and shoot the main content as a sitcom.
Of course, if you need to go on location, you still have to go on location. There's no way around it. After all, it's not a real sitcom. It's just that the studio is really convenient for shooting and can save the budget.
The atmosphere here is not as fiery as that of "Homeless Children". After all, the ratings are not very good and no one is happy. However, from the staff to the actors, the mood is quite stable - Chihara Rinto has made a promise to these people
, no matter how bad the ratings are, as long as the quality of the series does not change, the crew's budget will not change, everyone's income will not be affected, the show will not be cut in half, and at least 49 episodes of the main series will be filmed.
, if the TV station executives have objections, he will resist.
He has used his reputation as a guarantee, and everyone trusts him, so it can't be said that he has performance pressure.
Chihara Rinto took Nishijima Rumi into the studio. After observing for a while, he felt that the situation was okay. The chief director in charge of this studio was called Matsuura Ryo. He was in his forties and had a small team of directors under him. He used to shoot family films.
The person in the drama has just been recruited by Chihara Rinto - this person's ability is pretty good, his professionalism is quite good, and at least he has good teamwork.
But after all, he joined late, and he and Chihara Rinto were not as familiar with Tsumura and Yoshizaki’s old subordinates. When they saw him coming, they quickly greeted him with a few polite words, and Chihara Rinto also treated him warmly. He briefly looked at the current shooting situation, and then
I communicated with him for a while and talked about some personal thoughts.
Ryo Matsuura likes this kind of family drama very much, and is also good at filming this kind of family drama. He likes to portray and shape characters. At the same time, he is very satisfied with the script provided by Rinto Chihara. The relationship between the characters is intricate, and there are five small families under one big family.
, the relationship between the characters alone can lead to countless good plots, and it can quite reflect some of the current family conflicts in Japan. He really likes it more and more the more he shoots it.
After talking for a while, he encouraged Chihara Rinto again, thinking that "The Cold and Warm World" is a rare excellent family drama, and it will definitely achieve good results. Don't be anxious, as long as you shoot steadily, there will be no problem - he
He is worried that Chihara Rinto's striving for success will destroy the slow daily atmosphere of the family drama. He is the director, even if Chihara Rinto is the person in charge, he still has his own ideas.
Chihara Rinto naturally has no objection. "Warm and Cold World" is not a popular drama, but it is certainly of excellent quality. But can it still be filmed for ten seasons and nearly 500 episodes? And there is no problem with Matsuura Ryo's shooting ideas. The script is there anyway.
It's fair to say that he can at best make decisions on the fly and make minor modifications without causing major problems.
He talked with Matsuura Ryo for a while, looked at and patted a few people, and left directly after seeing that there were no problems.
These people are all experienced people. As long as the tone is set and the personnel and budget are ensured, once the shooting is on track, he does not need to worry too much. Even if the picture is not the best, it will not be a mess.
Chihara Rinto spent more than two hours touring all five studios, and even made two trips to overseas studios, mainly to tell the crew that he, the general manager, not only had not forgotten them, but also paid great attention to them.
Work hard.
After completing the routine, he returned to the office and continued to work on the script and receive the guys who came to him to ask questions and make requests. Everything went according to plan, and the day passed in the blink of an eye.
Saturday night was an abandoned time slot, and no drama of theirs was aired. But on Sunday night, the first episode of the legal drama "Suits" was aired on time, and the results were not unexpectedly unpopular. Still not
Very good.
The newly launched drama inherited the mess of its predecessor, and it was also in the advantageous time period of other TV stations. Naturally, there was no good harvest. It only had an average time-sharing rating of 9.23%, and the response from all aspects was very average - the plot has not yet unfolded, but
Kai Nono and Suzuki Daiki formed a partnership.
One is an older elite lawyer who graduated from Tokyo University and studied abroad at Harvard. He has an arrogant personality and is obsessed with winning lawsuits; the other is a man whose parents passed away and who lived with his grandmother. He fell into poverty and did whatever it took to make money, so he was expelled from college.
Young grassroots.
In the next episode, the pair will use various unusual methods to solve the case, and then the plot will really unfold. As it is now... I can only accept it like this.
On a weak TV station in the full time period, if you want to challenge others and compete for the season championship, it is really bitter tears all the way. In order to gain a foothold, you have to give your opponent a bruise first.
So far, all the results for the first week of the summer season have come out. Chihara Rinto’s team has achieved a miserable record of one win and four losses, but no one seems to care. Everything in the crew is normal, people’s hearts are not shaken, and the TV station executives don’t seem to see it.
Let a huge budget go down the drain.
Then came a new week. Monday was a night that was temporarily abandoned. There was nothing to talk about. And on Tuesday, "Warm and Cold World" attacked again, but the results were still not very good. Not only did the ratings not improve, but the average time-sharing ratings
dropped by 0.1%.
Chihara Rinto had a calm expression on his face, giving the impression that this was what he expected and was not worth mentioning, but he was also scratching his head in his heart. He actually had high hopes for the drama "The Cold and Warm World", or should I say for housewives.
This audience group has high hopes and hopes that they can help him.
This group is really huge, especially in Japan.
From a global perspective, in most civilized countries, women have access to the same educational opportunities as men, and are gradually able to find equally good jobs to change their lives. However, Japan is different. Even if women study
After college, I work for two or three years, and once I get married, I will go back to being a housewife and spend my time on housework and taking care of my children. It’s hard to believe that Japanese women go to college just to marry someone.
A good husband, it is convenient for me to teach my children. Many old Japanese ladies have never worked a day in their lives and cannot imagine what it is like to work full-time.
There are many reasons:
First, Japan is very conservative and traditional. In the 21st century, it is natural for a man to lead the outside and a woman to lead the house. Let alone the 1990s. If a woman continues to work after getting married, her husband will be considered "incompetent"
, can’t make money, can’t support the family, and have no male dignity at all. Therefore, many Japanese men will ask their wives to return home when they help their wives re-engrave their private seals after marriage (if they change their surname, they must re-engrave their private seals).
Don't show your face outside, lest your reputation be affected.
This is probably the reason why Murakami Iori has never considered getting married. If she doesn't get married, she will be forced to get married at most, and her mother will force her to go on a blind date. But once she gets married, if she wants to realize her career ambitions, she will probably be under a lot of pressure from all aspects.
several times.
In a sense, being born in Japan is really a tragedy for women.
The second is the stubborn problem of overtime in Japanese society. A full-time worker will spend more than 12 hours from leaving home in the morning to coming back in the evening, sometimes as long as 15 hours, and the family cannot be left unattended, and the children
There cannot be no one to take care of you, which forces women to make sacrifices and stay at home to take care of the children and do housework. At most, they can do some manual work at home or find a part-time job in the town to supplement the family income - housewives are not
Those who don't work at all will usually work odd jobs in supermarkets or as couriers in the town, but their annual income from part-time work should be limited to 1 million yen. If the amount is more, the government will start to collect taxes, which is not cost-effective.
Recruiting housewives as local couriers is something courier companies like to do. These people are cheap, and most of the people at home during the day are women. It is also more convenient and safer for women to deliver couriers door-to-door.
The third is Japan's immigration policy. Japan has a small land area and a relatively large and dense population. It has always opposed inward immigration. The main reason is that it is too crowded and they hope to immigrate abroad. However, this has created a nanny market.
Labor costs are very expensive, more than three times that of other developed countries or regions. Middle-class families cannot afford to hire nannies, so their wives have to stay at home.
There are many other reasons, and the accumulation of these reasons has resulted in the fact that most Japanese women can only be housewives and do not really have any special "love" for their families.
According to a newspaper survey, 71% of people believe that women should not leave the family to work before their children enter nursery school at the age of three, and 59% even push this limit to before their children enter junior high school, believing that the mother should personally supervise and
Children who are taught can achieve greater success before they become adults. For this reason, mothers should not consider themselves, but should make sacrifices for their children.
In short, whether it is voluntarily or forced, about 80% of Japanese women currently stay at home, and their daily lives are just domestic affairs. For example, the "Ido Council" in Japan's Edo period still exists today,
Housewives meet regularly for tea and gossip.
In this case, dramas like "Warm and Cold World" are really suitable for them and can arouse their spiritual resonance. For example, in the second episode, May's mother-in-law privately lent a large sum of money to her daughter Hisako.
, this made her daughter-in-law Wu Yu very dissatisfied, and she expressed the hope that her parents-in-law could make a will first, distribute the property after their death, and ensure their property inheritance rights. As a result, it caused an uproar, and even brought May's natal family into it.
This kind of plot is what Japanese housewives care about. They should watch it with gusto. According to Chihara Rinto, as long as these people support it, the ratings of "Warm and Cold World" will not be bad, but it is a beautiful idea.
, these housewives have not bought it yet, and the ratings have dropped slightly instead of rising, which is really disappointing.
I don’t know when I will get better...
Chihara Rinto has no choice but to hold on and continue to pay attention to the performance of other dramas.
