Chapter 207 What drama should I choose for the big production
The purpose of holding the celebration party is mainly to allow the crew members to relax a little. After all, they have been working intensively for three months, and Chihara Rinto is very demanding. Regardless of whether he is tired or not, the mental pressure is still very high - time
By September, except for "The Cold and Warm World" (which is a New Year drama), the filming of the first season of all the dramas has basically been completed. It is supposed to be a holiday, but unfortunately it is not possible. The preparations for the next season will be started soon. Is it a holiday?
It may be a holiday, so we can only gather for fun.
Murakami Iori rented a large banquet hall in a luxury hotel and held a large-scale buffet. Not only all the crew members attended, but also the main actors, representatives of advertisers, and even some uninvited people.
, such as the guys from the Kanto United Television Operations Department and some newspaper reporters.
The Japanese are quite accustomed to this kind of banquet. In the past, the US military stationed in Japan often did this in the cafeteria, and the Japanese imitated it. After the 1990s, small gatherings still followed the tradition, and large gatherings were usually this cold.
The format of the dinner party is complete - there is a band, a stage, well-trained waiters, bartenders, and chefs who make high-end sushi on site, and there are even three champagne towers set up in the middle of the venue.
In short, it's called a "lunch party", but it's not just a place for a group of people to stand around and look silly. It's quite luxurious and costs a lot of money, which makes the atmosphere lively.
As the core member of the team, Chihara Rinto naturally quickly fell into socializing after the party started. It took him a long time to get out, but he was not bothered. This is also part of the job! If it helps the work,
He doesn't mind talking nonsense and smiling at all.
The banquet started at seven o'clock, and he could take a breather after nine o'clock. But as soon as he found an inconspicuous corner to sit down, Miqianzi came over with food and drinks, and said with concern: "Master, eat quickly.
Something!"
She had been staring for a long time, but unfortunately she could not rescue Qianhara Rinto from the crowd. She waited until this moment, and behind her was her friend, the yellow dog named "Little Dragon" - this dog
I can attend the banquet because of special circumstances. It is also an "actor" in "Homeless Children", and this party is nominally to celebrate the show's average time-share ratings exceeding 30%, so naturally it deserves it.
a place.
A dog is a dog, but it has also contributed to the ratings. It is also a hero, even more than the ordinary staff members - the stills show Michiko hugging it and relying on each other, which made some people cry.
Chihara Rinto was indeed hungry and reached out to take the sushi, while Michiko sat next to him with a sweet smile, holding her little chin and watching him eat. By the way, she secretly took a look at his left wrist and found that he was wearing the watch she gave him.
, couldn’t help but smile even more happily.
Qianhara Rinto noticed it immediately, raised his wrist to look at his watch, and said with a smile, "Master, doesn't it look handsome when he wears it?"
This watch was a birthday gift from Michiko last month. His birthday has already been celebrated, but because he has been too busy with work recently, he only received a few gifts from close friends, and he didn't even bother with longevity noodles.
After eating it, he inexplicably aged one year - his real age is actually two years younger than the original owner.
Michiko was very well-behaved and admired her master very much. She immediately shouted: "Of course, master is the most handsome!" Her mouth was always sweet, as if it were covered with honey, and then she said happily: "It's great that master likes me. A while ago
When I saw you weren’t wearing it, I thought you didn’t like it!”
After she finished speaking, she patted her flat chest with her little hands, expressing her relief. She was so cute and made people feel very good.
"How could it be? Of course such an expensive watch should only be worn on formal occasions!" Chihara Rinto also joked along with her words. In fact, he has no habit of wearing watches. He still likes to use his mobile phone to check the time. Did he just travel through time?
For money, the first thing I did was to pawn the original owner’s watch. If the occasion hadn’t been formal today, he probably wouldn’t have worn it, but there was no need to tell this little girl like Michiko, after all, it was her filial piety!
This apprentice is quite cute, so I didn’t take him for nothing!
Chihara Rinto was chatting and laughing while eating, and Michiko was willing to get close to him and stay with him here, helping him get some food and drinks from time to time to prevent him from being pestered by others while walking in the hall.
The band was playing soft music, and many people were standing or sitting chatting. When Chihara Rinto finally had some rest, Michienko took some wet wipes from her bag and gave them to him to wipe his hands with.
Chihara Rinto thanked him and took it, taking a closer look at Michiko.
She is also one of today's protagonists. She is wearing a small chiffon dress. She has black hair and white teeth, and a rosy face. She looks very good. She has been really happy in the past three months and is not ready to turn black at all.
.
Sure enough, I did the right thing. I should count it as saving a child, right? It should count!
Chihara Rinto was very pleased, but at this time Murakami Iori came over with a glass of champagne. It was obvious that she had something to talk about. Michiko immediately left wisely and went to other places - she came here specifically to serve her master for dinner.
, nothing else happened.
Murakami Iori has always liked Michiko, smiled and touched her little head, watched her lead the dog to the ice cream and yogurt machine, turned back and sat down, smiled at Chihara Rinto and asked: "That's not true.
Are you ready to let her film the second season?"
"No."
Murakami Iori regretted: "The response to this drama has been very good. It would be a pity not to film a second season... Do you really not want to persuade her anymore? If it is inconvenient for you, I can do it for you."
Qianhara Rinto smiled and said: "It's better not to persuade her and let her make her own decision. It's rare for her to make a decision for herself."
According to the agreement, after filming "Homeless Child", Michiko will publicly announce her retirement and bid farewell to the entertainment industry completely. This is of course a pity and a complete waste of her acting talent. Logically speaking, she should be persuaded.
But Chihara Rinto didn't want to do this, and didn't want to change Michiko's mind...
If she can figure it out on her own and doesn't want to retire, then of course it's good. She can act whatever she needs to act. She must take more care of her apprentice. There's no need to say this. Otherwise, she will do as she requested in advance. Her life will be ruined.
She decides for herself.
Qianhara Rinto didn't want to talk about this anymore, so he looked around and asked, "Where's Hitomi?"
Iori Murakami still felt it was a pity, but she didn't say anything more. She followed his words and laughed: "I'm bragging with Yoshizaki, Tsumura and the others!" Then she also looked around and asked: "Nishijima
Where are the young lady and Shiraki-kun?"
They held a buffet party. They had roughly divided the work beforehand and divided into two groups. However, everyone was separated at this time. Chihara Rinto directly replied: "Ms. Nishijima is entertaining the people from the sales department for me, Shiraki-kun."
…I don’t know where I went.”
Shiraki Keima blended into the crowd and disappeared in a blink of an eye. He didn't do anything about it. He was probably talking to someone somewhere. He probably didn't find him here for a while. There were many more people attending the banquet than expected, hundreds of people.
Divided into nearly a hundred small circles, finding people is not as easy as imagined.
Iori Murakami was also helpless. Keima Shiraki's auto-invisibility disease was difficult to cure, so she just ignored him. He raised his glass and said with a smile: "Congratulations, Qianhara, for your third nationally popular drama."
"Homeless Child" topped this season's hit list, sweeping the works of the same season, adding another dazzling star to Chihara Rinto's record. This is indeed worthy of congratulations, and Chihara Rinto raised a glass and
She touched each other and said with a smile: "I didn't do it alone, I want to congratulate you too."
Murakami Iori took a sip of wine and said with a smile: "That's what I said, but Qianyuan, you can do it without me, but you can't do it without you..." After a pause, she looked at the hall from the corner and looked at the bustling crowd.
, sighed: "I can't believe that in less than two years, you have already produced three nationally popular dramas!"
Qianhara Rinto took a sip of ice tea. Japanese ice tea contains alcohol. He felt the numb feeling on the tip of his tongue. He also looked at the hall and said softly: "It's really not easy, but it's nothing. I will do it again in the future."
There are more, now is our best time!"
"The best of times?" Murakami Iori gave him a strange look, "It's getting better year by year, and the audience base is getting bigger and bigger. Isn't it too early to say that it's the best of times?"
Qianhara Rinto smiled and took another sip of ice tea without saying anything in reply.
I can't be happier than I was in 1967. When the Internet takes over the entertainment industry, TV viewers will move faster than the other, and there will be no loyalty at all. They will all rely on mobile phones and computers. Later generations of television will
The machine is just a decoration. Some people can't turn it on three times a year.
Iori Murakami couldn't imagine what would happen in a few years. She didn't think that the trend of the times would change so fast. She just thought he said something wrong and didn't take it to heart. Instead, she became even more excited and asked with a smile: "This season will probably be like this."
, then the next season will go as planned? Or should we wait for another season to stabilize?"
Chihara Rinto had already thought about this problem and said directly: "The results are better than expected. The pilot drama has almost laid the foundation, and we can start working directly on the next season!"
"I think so too, so what should we do with these current programs?"
"Everything is basically on track. Just let each crew take responsibility for themselves." Chihara Rinren has a good idea. For dramas such as "Aangbang", the characters of the main and supporting characters have been established, and the main tone has been set. The rest is nothing more than
Write the episodes step by step, and shoot and broadcast them normally. You don’t need to worry too much. Let’s adjust the personnel. The episodes will be promoted to the second main creator, the assistant screenwriter will be promoted to the episode writer, and the executive director will be promoted to the director. In the second season, the soup will be changed without changing the medicine.
Let’s keep shooting!
We don't ask them to create better results again, as long as they maintain the current audience group, serve as a precursor for new large-scale dramas, and provide a certain audience base for the main force.
Murakami Iori completely obeyed Chihara Rinto's opinions in terms of creation, just like Chihara Rinto would not interfere with her management of budget and promotion operations. She immediately followed his ideas and began to think about personnel adjustments, and asked casually: "
How many new dramas will be released next season?”
"Three to four parts, I have to think about this carefully." Qianhara Rinto muttered: "Press three parts first and get ready."
"Then we will promote the positions of the main staff, and the executive director will be promoted to director, and then we will transfer Yoshizaki and Miyawaki." Murakami Iori thought about it and said: "If "Homeless Children" does not plan to film a second season,
Now, both Tsumura and Shiraki can be freed up... As for the work team, each crew will provide a group of skilled personnel, and then absorb the personnel from the original crew, and use the experienced to lead the new ones. It should be no problem. If there are still a few, just start from
Some people were selected from "Human Observation"."
Chihara Rinto thought there was no problem with this arrangement, but asked: "Are there enough people at "Human Observation" that can be transferred?"
"Human Observation" is the "base" for their team to train new members, but it feels like it's not good if they are pumped to death if they keep pumping blood. After all, this is a program with a ratings of more than 20%.
It is still very helpful in competing for the season championship, but it cannot be completely ignored.
Iori Murakami knew it well: "Yes, when this season first started, I picked out the people from the programs we replaced and added them to "Human Observation". Now it should be almost ready for use."
Chihara Rinto nodded. Regarding this kind of personnel arrangement, if Murakami Iori said it was no problem, then it would definitely be no problem. Anyway, as long as the creative team and working team are set up so that he can work and there are people available, everything else will be fine.
He didn't care, but just added: "I have taken Nishidao for three months. She is a smart guy. Let's use her too!"
"Ms. Nishijima?" Murakami Iori was stunned for a moment, then said in deep thought: "She is sent by Goto Tokyo, right? Will Director Shiga have any objections to letting her interfere in our practical work?"
"It's okay. The main thing is that I need you to pay more attention to the big-budget new drama. The production and promotion of the old drama should be left to her. She will report directly to you or me." Chihara Rinto doesn't care about the faction at all.
He would use whoever could do the job well. Nishijima Rumi had good work ability, was obedient and obeyed orders, and was more capable of enduring hardships, so he favored her.
Murakami Iori thought for a moment, did not object, and then asked: "Does anyone else have special arrangements?"
"Raise Ah Hitomi to one level, and there is an assistant screenwriter named Tomohisa Mita on the crew of "Aangbang". He should also be transferred out. I plan to ask Bai Mu to take care of the old drama more. The new drama needs a new assistant. That person will do the work
Be very careful, just use him."
I have no problem with adding another screenwriting assistant to Rinto Chihara, Iori Murakami. Let alone one, three or five more are fine, but Hitomi Konoe doesn't seem to be a good fit.
She hesitated and said: "Why do you suddenly want to upgrade A Tong? She is one of our own. It's okay to take care of her privately, but her ability..."
Chihara Rinto took out a roll of paper from his mouth, handed it to Murakami Iori, and sighed: "I underestimated her before, but this guy is really talented in variety shows."
This is a project that Hitomi Konoe wrote blindly. She completed it as homework, and she is quite rough. She carries a notebook in her pocket every day and it looks like a roll of toilet paper. Iori Murakami took it and opened it and saw that the project was called "
Hot Baseball".
The plan is very detailed, but to put it simply, Hitomi Konoe wants to organize a special baseball game. Both teams are composed of well-known actors, and they are mixed men and women. The competition is not intended to be fierce, but just for fun.
Of course, she was crazily riding on the popularity of baseball, and she was brainless to a certain extent. She just wanted to extract ratings from baseball fans. But after watching it, Chihara Rinto had to admit that this fool had reached a new height.
——With this reminder, he suddenly remembered that there really was such a baseball game in his original world, but it was just after the rise of the second idol trend, which was the famous "Idol Baseball Battle".
Idols from men's and women's groups got together to play baseball and show another side of the idols. This was a great innovation in the idol industry. It completely got rid of the old routine of selling meat, cuteness and coolness. It was sunny and passionate, and it attracted fans. At that time
The ratings are very popular - it is very popular in Japan. Most other countries have no love for baseball. This program has almost no popularity outside of Japan.
Now Konoe Hitomi has planned it more than ten years in advance. No matter whether this program is suitable now or whether it can be successful by replacing idols with actors, this shows that she is really thinking hard and is really doing her job as a screenwriter.
Yixing - She designed a lot of scenes and let the actors perform various variety shows. It looks pretty good, some are funny, passionate and even tearful. It's obvious that she has been studying this stuff in the past month.
Therefore, with this heart, Chihara Rinto felt that she should be promoted to a higher level and given more responsibilities. Maybe this silly girl from the fishing village can really create some miracles - let her write scripts seriously. She is now
Definitely not, screenwriters need life experience, which she is completely lacking now, but if she is allowed to do variety shows, her simple optimist is really suitable, maybe because she is a bit funny herself?
After reading it, Iori Murakami thought it was good. She understood what Chihara Rinto meant and nodded: "Then let her be more responsible for "Human Observation". By the way, we can recruit a skilled screenwriter from the crew."
This project is currently unavailable, as it does not fit the tone of "Human Observation", so it is written in vain, but it can reflect Hitomi Konoe's ability, and it is at least worth giving her more opportunities.
Chihara Rinto smiled, and then continued to discuss with Iori Murakami. When everything was basically confirmed, he took a sip of ice tea and looked at the happy crowd in a trance!
After three months of preparation, the next step is the main event. It’s time to try to compete for the season championship. It will take a few days to think carefully about what drama to choose for the big production!
