Dahe Opera is not an entertainment product, but a cultural project. How to make it successful is indeed a problem.
NHK has been filming this thing for more than 30 years, and Japanese history is very monotonous. The only two eras worth filming are the Warring States Period and the end of the Shogunate. I have filmed it over and over again over the years, even if the perspective is different, every time
The characters and families are different, and the audience has become tired of it. This is probably the main reason why the ratings of Dahe Drama are not as good as each year.
Therefore, let’s not talk about how to take good pictures, but choosing a topic is also a difficult problem.
After passing the topic selection process, we still have to respect historical facts as much as possible. This is actually a big constraint on creation, and I feel it is not easy to deal with.
For example, in history, the protagonist was often beaten to a pulp and fled in panic, worse than a dog. The audience must feel uncomfortable after watching this;
Or maybe the protagonist has encountered a big difficulty, and the audience is expecting him to make a comeback, but it turns out that this person is a Ninja Turtle in history, and he just knelt down and gave in, and even gave away his wife and daughter. The audience probably wouldn't be happy.
, feeling extremely heartbroken;
Or maybe the protagonist has never been in love in his life and his wife is unknown. So in terms of TV dramas, what should we do if we should add a confidante, but we can’t find it in the history books?
As an entertainment product, this kind of filming is definitely not possible. The ratings will probably be astronomical. But as for the Dahe drama, if you change the battle or introduce an imaginary character, it will be good-looking. People in the cultural field will probably
There is a precedent for this in later generations. After 2000, the ratings of Dahe Drama were disastrous. NHK also thought of many ways to save it, such as inserting a fictional female character into the main drama, or simply completely fictionalizing it.
A piece of history, which ended up pleasing the audience, but aroused a full boycott by people in the cultural circles who believed that the show was simply misleading people, and the producer was scolded bloody.
This is indeed quite difficult to do, and even if the subject selection and script are passed, the filming is not very easy. A large number of historians, archaeologists, and folklorists must be recruited to ensure the authenticity of historical details, such as clothing.
, the scenery, weapons, armor, etc. are all well-documented, and even remote dialects must be taken into account. Generally, TV dramas do not need to consider these, just use standard language, and at most add a Kansai accent, but where does the guy in the Taiga drama come from?
If someone comes from Tibet, it's better to let him speak the dialect of that country.
Therefore, preparation for shooting is also a difficult problem.
It will probably not be easy in the future. For example, organizing and filming a big battle with burning and smoking. It has to look real, the scene is big enough, and it has to look interesting. These are also challenges...
If you want to make a Dahe drama (a period drama), you can definitely make it, but if you want to make a good one, it is really difficult to satisfy the audience, and you also have to satisfy the cultural circles, which is a double difficulty.
Or should we abandon the audience?
No, if a TV series abandons the audience and only pursues authenticity and artistry, how can it be influential? But it cannot ignore people in the cultural circles. Kanto United TV just wants these people to have a good impression of it...
I'm going to die. The two have different preferences and priorities. Maybe Zhu Bajie looks in the mirror and he's not a human being inside and out!
Chihara Rinto returned to the office, holding his chin and thinking for a while. The more he thought about it, the more his head hurt. However, he accepted the task. Shiga Ayumu, who would do it no matter if it was difficult or not, now had the same interests as him and had always supported him.
, so now Shiga Ayumu has to complete the tasks of the board of directors, that is, the representatives of the TV station equity owners, and even if he is thinking about the future, he must help him after all.
Then let’s start with topic selection…
He directly called Mita Tomohisa over and directly ordered: "Mita-kun, help me find a general history of Japan, or a more comprehensive history book, and then try to collect some biographies of historical figures. Well, there are also a few
I have compiled a list of all the big river dramas and period dramas produced by NHK and the Big Four, and I want to use them."
Tomohisa Mita was his coolie. Even if he didn't know what he was going to do, it didn't matter. He responded directly: "Yes, Teacher Qianhara."
After he answered, he was about to go to work, but as soon as he reached the door, he heard another instruction from Rinto Chihara: "Bring back any books about fishing by the way."
"Yes, I understand." Tomohisa Mita still didn't say anything. As a screenwriter, Chihara Rinto, it's normal to check any information, let alone fishing, it's not unusual to want to see the rocket engine drawings. I definitely want to.
Let’s make a science fiction drama!
He hurried over, while Chihara Rinto pulled out a piece of paper and began to briefly break down the task. It would be less troublesome to break down the troublesome things bit by bit. Let's break it down roughly first, and then subdivide it slowly.
Tomohisa Mita, the assistant, didn't talk much, but he worked very carefully. Soon various historical books and biographies began to be sent to Chihara Rinto's desk, and Chihara Rinto began to look through these things while dealing with daily affairs.
This person looks a bit like Maeda Toshiie. Can he make a movie called "Kaga Three Million Stone"?
Oh, this guy was photographed by NHK...
Is there anyone similar to Nobushige Sanada? Can you make a "Sanada Maru"? Nobushige Sugano happens to be free...
The difference is a bit big, I can’t seem to put it on...
Chihara Rinto spent the first three days trying to come up with a script, but after flipping through it, he discovered that during the Warring States Period and the end of the Shogunate period, as long as a celebrity appeared in the Taiga drama, he was almost always bad, even if he was not the protagonist, he was an important supporting role.
NHK and the Big Four have really been busy in the past few decades. They have already completed the step of supporting people in the cultural field, and they have produced a lot of cultural works.
He weighed it for three days, but couldn't find a suitable script, so he started to choose a new theme. If he produced the script himself, it wouldn't be impossible to remake it with the same characters as NHK and Four Elections. It's just that they had filmed it before. You can't do it again.
If you reshoot it again, unless the quality is greatly exceeded, it will be more difficult to achieve impact.
In a sense, the Dahe drama is a prestige project of a TV station. The basic quality of all the dramas that have been filmed is good. It is more difficult to surpass it. It is better to make a new drama!
After wasting three days, he gave up his plan to remake the Dahe drama in another world. After all, the characters were quite different. Instead, he wanted to write his own script, and began to search for famous figures in the long history. Only famous figures have talents.
It was colorful enough to reflect the changes of the times, but he spent another three days searching through it and was surprised to discover a fact.
While respecting the historical facts as much as possible, basically all the good pictures were given to NHK. After the big four films were completed, these guys just picked the good ones and shot them first! No wonder after 2000, even NHK, which is so stubborn, started to make magic changes.
Ignoring it, or using the Olympics to make up for it, and running out of photos may be one of the reasons.
Of course, it doesn’t mean that you can’t find anyone. If you insist on filming, you can definitely film it. Just look for a famous name from the Warring States Period. But on the premise of respecting historical facts, you must film this drama so that the audience and cultural circles will applaud it, and you must also
Adapting this man's life into a long series of at least 30 episodes is not easy to express the rapid changes of an era. It cannot be done in one season. Dahe dramas usually start with more than 30 episodes, even if they do not last for a year.
It takes more than half a year anyway.
I'm afraid it's difficult for men to deal with it, but what about changing the angle? What about women?
Films such as "The Lady of the Castle", "The Warring States Period of the Princesses", "Three Sisters", and "The Legend of the Queen" have also received good responses. With so many wives and daughters of historical figures, we can't finish filming them too!
He started looking for women in history books again, and this time it was much easier. He quickly found a few women whose lives were either wonderful, gorgeous, or miserable enough to make a big fuss about. Then he started
When selecting, I want to determine the most suitable one, preferably one with good ratings and enough artistic and cultural qualities.
He was so focused that he didn't even pay attention to the fact that the victory was already determined after another round of the season was broadcast. Now he just needs to make no mistakes.
For a while, he was buried in a pile of books, licking history books and biographies. He didn't have enough relevant knowledge to write this script, but the progress was still relatively slow, mainly because there were too many chores and he had to do it from time to time.
He had to be taken to a meeting by Nishijima Rumi and others. Fortunately, the filming of this season has entered the shutdown stage and the script is almost completed. Otherwise, he might have gone insane.
But even if he wasn't insane, he still felt a little burnt out after reading a lot of boring history books, official history, not novels, which were extremely boring. At this time, his new girlfriend, whom he had forgotten for ten days, arrived.
…………
Hakuba Ningzi was really speechless. She knew that Chihara Rinto was a workaholic and understood that he had his own pursuits, just like Chihara Rinto understood and cared about her. But she really didn't expect that the day after the two confirmed their relationship,
Apart from a phone call, there was no news from this newly minted boyfriend and he disappeared from the world.
Such a person also wants to fall in love, what a weird thing in the world!
She wasn't angry, just a little bit dumbfounded. She felt that she should come and see what he had done with her, so she came directly to the TV station to visit him without notifying him. She was afraid that it would affect Chihara Rinto's schedule, so she called Chihara Rinto and was sure to cancel.
The schedule is waiting for her, so why not go directly? In case Senhara Rinto is busy with shooting or something like that, she can wait.
She entered the TV station in the name of looking for Hitomi Konoe, and didn't let Hitomi Konoe come to pick her up, so she found her own way. However, Hitomi Konoe, a loser and disciple, was very capable and immediately reported to Rinto Chihara.
, Qianhara Rinto still rushed out and felt guilty. He was doing a lot of shit these days, and he was also busy writing books. He forgot about Hakuba Ningzi and even forgot to make a phone call.
On the contrary, he did not forget Murakami Iori, and even took the time to visit her several times, mainly because he hoped that she would come back soon. These chores were really painful.
This made him feel even more guilty. He blocked Ningzi Hakuma at the elevator entrance and quickly smiled and said, "Why are you here?"
Bai Ma Ningzi raised the small bundle in his hand and said with a smile: "Come to see you and give you something delicious."
Her smile is as beautiful as a flower, and her smile with squinted eyes still looks very gentle, but Qianhara Rinto is a little unsure whether she is angry or not. This girlfriend always smiles gentle and amiable, but it is definitely a mask, Lao Taishan said
Yes, be careful!
Chihara Rinto hurriedly picked up the small bundle and took Hakuba Ningzi to the office. He explained by the way: "I'm really busy these days. I'll be free in about a week."
Hakuba Ningzi noticed that there were several staff members who had rushed over to take the elevator. When she found out that Rinto Chihara was inside, she immediately stopped consciously and obviously wanted to wait for another elevator to come down. The difference in level and respect
The meaning was very clear, and she was suddenly a little surprised by Chihara Rinto's status in the TV station. She knew that Qianhara Rinto was quite famous in society, but she didn't expect that his status in the TV station seemed to be quite transcendent. He enjoyed special treatment and even had exclusive rights to the elevator.
.
She saw it but didn't say anything, and said with a smile: "It's okay, Qianyuan-kun, I just came to see you... I should know whether my boyfriend is in good health, right?"
Qianhara Rinto was speechless. He was really a bit uncivilized for not contacting his girlfriend in the past ten days. He really had nothing to say. He was so busy that he forgot about it. Now he even takes a book with him when he takes a shit.
He quickly changed the topic, looked at Hakuba Ningzi up and down, and asked with concern: "I'm fine, are you okay?"
"I'm fine too." Bai Ma Ningzi smiled and talked about the current situation, "I've been sorting out my travel drawings recently. If the book sells well, maybe these drawings can also be sold for money."
"This is indeed a business matter." Qianhara Rinto nodded repeatedly after hearing this, but didn't say much about saving money. He was not short of money, and it was enough to support Bai Ma Ningzi to circle the earth three times, but he understood Bai Ma Ning
Zi, she wouldn't ask for money even if she knew he was given it, so she simply didn't even mention that Bai Ma's family was not short of money. If Bai Ma Ningzi wanted money, there was no need to ask him.
As they talked, they went to Chihara Rinto's office. All the staff they met along the way bowed their heads and said hello. Chihara Rinto nodded and smiled. After entering the office, Hakuba Ningzi found that Chihara Rinto was busy.
It's really not a lie. From the desk, you can see that the books are built like a city wall, and some have fallen to the ground. The whiteboards on both sides of the desk are full of words, densely packed, some circled, some crossed out,
It makes people dizzy just looking at it.
She was observing the environment curiously, while Chihara Rinto ordered to Mita Tomohisa: "I want to take a break, within an hour..." He paused at this point, feeling that an hour was a bit too long, but it was shortened.
It seemed that he was not feeling well, and he was a little hesitant for a moment, but Hakuba Ningzi bowed to Mita Tomohisa and interjected: "It will be fine in a quarter of an hour, Qianyuan-kun, I know you are fine, just sit down and go back, you
Business is important."
"It's rare for you to come here..."
"Business matters, otherwise I won't dare to come here in the future."
Qianhara Rinto was really busy, and it felt uncomfortable not seeing anyone for an hour. Hearing this, he apologized and said, "I'm really sorry, Ningzi."
Should a boyfriend like you be shot?
Hakuba Ningzi covered her mouth and chuckled, shook her head to show that she didn't care, took the small bundle and untied it, and said: "Qianyuan-kun, I made some curry bread for you. If you are hungry, just heat it in the microwave and you can eat it...
…Try it and see if you like it.”
Mita Tomohiki was a little dull, but he could still see the look, and had quietly exited the office. Chihara Rinto quickly asked Hakuba Neiko to sit down, stretched out his hand to touch a piece of bread, and found that it had just been fried, so he took a bite directly.
, I found that the surface was crispy, the inside was hot beef curry, and it tasted really good.
Bai Ma Ningzi looked at him eating with her chin in her hands and asked: "How does it taste?"
Qianhara Rinto said honestly: "It's really good. It's my first time to eat it."
"There are special condiments, have you figured out what they were?"
Qianhara Rinto tasted the food carefully and found that it was delicious. Nothing else seemed to matter. He thought thoughtfully: "Special seasoning?"
"Yes."
Qianhara Rinto smacked his mouth again. The texture was smooth and rich, and it was indeed delicious. However, he had never eaten curry bread before. He really couldn't tell the difference between it and other curry bread. After thinking about it, he suddenly realized,
His expression became gentle: "I received your thoughts."
Is it love? She is indeed my girlfriend, she is really sentimental...
Bai Ma Ningzi observed his facial expression, tilted his head slightly, and said strangely: "What do you mean? I just added lard, my mother taught me."
Qianhara Rinto smacked her mouth hard again. No wonder the taste was so smooth. It turned out to be lard, not love! It was okay, at least it was done with care!
He nodded quickly: "I ate it, and it was really delicious, so I said I received it."
Hakuba Ningzi was also very happy. She narrowed her eyes and said, "As long as you like it. I'll cook it for you often from now on." After a pause, she didn't want to stay too long, which would easily miss Qianhara Rinto, so she changed directly.
Topic: "Qianyuan-kun, the Chinese New Year is about half a month away. How are you going to celebrate the Chinese New Year?"
