The more prepared you are in advance, the smoother things will go. The shooting of "The Most Beautiful Princess in Oulu" has been very smooth since it started, and the shooting progress is slightly ahead of expectations, which proves that Chihara Rinto did not kick the butt of his subordinates in vain some time ago.
Of course, everything went smoothly, but he was still very busy. After he moved in to the set, he never left at all. His only entertainment was texting with Ningzi - from pen pal to friend, from friend to date, and then they started "online dating" again.
"Well, you said something to me, chatting procrastinatingly, and it didn't feel bad.
In this way, two and a half weeks passed quickly, and in late February 1998, the filming progress of "The Most Beautiful Princess in Olu" was advanced to the fourth and fifth episodes - they were filming two episodes at the same time in order to update
The actors and venues were used efficiently, and at this moment, Iori Murakami arrived.
Chihara Rinto waved his hand at her and signaled her to wait a moment. He continued to explain to Safuzi the precautions for a long shot. When it came to an end, he asked Safuzi to think about it by herself, and then turned around to look
To Iori Murakami.
Murakami Iori had just taken advantage of the opportunity and was caring about the staff's daily life at the NHK shooting base. Seeing that he was free, he walked over and asked with a smile: "Qianyuan, why did you call me here?"
She was also busy over there, but Qianhara Rinto insisted on her coming over, so she had no choice but to come over.
"Of course there is something." Chihara Rinto said to her first, then called Tsumura Haruki over and told him to keep an eye here and take some unimportant shots. Then he took Murakami Iori to the lounge, and then
Said: "I rough cut the first few episodes, you come and see the effect."
The equipment here is limited, so there is no way to dub sounds, music or add special effects. The cut is still a semi-finished product, which will definitely not work for the audience, but it is enough to let Murakami Iori see the effect first, and Murakami Iori is also very concerned about the quality of the series. After all, the investment
It's real money. If the quality is not good, it means all the money is wasted. That's a no-no!
However, they started shooting early and had plenty of time. Chihara Rinto could show her when he returned to Tokyo. There was no need to call her over during the shooting. She suddenly felt tense and looked at his face and asked:
"Didn't you say that the filming went smoothly? What went wrong?"
This is what producers fear the most, when all kinds of accidents happen and the show ends unexpectedly.
She began to worry, and Qianhara Rinto hesitated for a moment: "It went smoothly, but there is something wrong. I can't tell for sure. You have to take a look first."
Murakami Iori's face became serious, and she immediately entered Chihara Rinto's special lounge, and carefully watched the rough cuts of the first few episodes on a small TV. However, her face slowly relaxed as she watched, waiting for the rough cuts of the first four episodes.
After going through the collection, he smiled and said, "It's not bad, what's the problem?"
This guy, I thought you had failed in the filming or that newbie Safiko had failed in the acting. I was scared to death!
Qianhara Rinto was also looking at the half-finished product carefully just now. Hearing this, he hesitated and said: "Is it good? Then what do you think the ratings can be?"
Iori Murakami silently made an estimate and said: "If we can maintain this level in the future, a 20% time-sharing rating should be guaranteed."
Chihara Rinto didn't speak for a while and nodded slowly. Murakami Iori is more cautious. If she dares to say 20%, it will probably be a little more than 20% in the future. But this is the golden decade of TV dramas, 20+%
The ratings are at the bottom of the first-rate or the top of the second-rate. I really can’t say how good it is...
He was thinking about the matter without saying anything. Murakami Iori waited for a while, with a helpless expression on his face.
She knew Chihara Rinto's character. This guy was ambitious, unwilling to be mediocre, and always wanted to do the best in things. She also liked Chihara Rinto's character very much, and was willing to do her best to assist him in creating good works. She felt that she
It's like creating a legend, but because I know Chihara Rinto so well, I know what he is going to do when he sticks out his butt - this guy is obviously over the top and thinks that the hard work he has put in has not been rewarded enough, 20%
The ratings are so low, I feel unhappy.
However, she didn't intend to persuade him. If Qianhara Rinto didn't have this drive and the spirit of striving for excellence, she wouldn't believe that he could reach where he is today so quickly, even if he had natural talent!
She thought for a while and asked: "What do you think is missing? Is there anything I can do?"
No matter if she needs money, things or people, she will find a way.
She knows Qianhara Rinto and knows how to deal with him. It is useless to persuade him at this time. It is more serious to help him improve his grades as much as possible. As long as his grades can be improved, this guy's hair will be smooth, and he will turn around and run away to think about his strange things.
Weird girlfriend, everything will return to normal, but to her surprise, Qianhara Rinto always had ideas before, but this time he hesitated.
He hesitated for a long time, shook his head and sighed: "I don't know."
He really didn't know what to do. He tried his best to write the script, did his best to shoot, and spent a lot of energy to handle every detail. All the actors and staff worked hard under his supervision, and it was almost perfect.
That he squeezed out all the potential, and then got a work that looks pretty good?
He was a little reluctant, but after thinking over and over again, he really couldn't think of any other way to make this show look better.
Murakami Iori also fell silent. He turned the button to rewind and fast forward the video tapes of the previous episodes. He looked at them carefully again, but still couldn't find any problems.
She believes that under the same conditions, if Chihara Rinto makes a drama with other themes, more than 40% of the ratings will depend on the right time, place and people, which requires a certain amount of luck, but there is no problem in getting more than 30% of the ratings.
, it’s just the genre of river drama or period drama, NHK has been filming it for more than 30 years, so what kind of genre hasn’t made the audience vomit after watching it for more than 30 years?
She already felt that Chihara Rinto was great when she was able to get more than 20% of the ratings. She breathed a big sigh of relief and was very happy. However, this guy was still worried about this result and was not convinced.
However, she can also understand that Chihara Rinto is no longer the barefoot grassroots he used to be. He is now a national teacher, a famous ghost screenwriter, the holder of the highest ratings record, and a special agent of a major TV station. At this time, if he sets a new record in his career
The worst result, I guess whoever was replaced would feel uncomfortable.
However, reality is reality. Achieving this kind of result is a non-war crime. I believe everyone in the industry can understand it. Moreover, this result is enough to cope with people in the cultural circles. There is no fault in the station. It is definitely enough to complete the task, even if it is really regarded as a crime.
There is no problem with the 10th anniversary drama in Taichung.
At this time, she had to persuade her. She gently held Qianyuan Rinto's hand and said seriously: "Qianyuan, our industry sometimes needs to face reality. No one can do anything if the environment does not allow it. You have done a good job.
Okay, don’t think too much, just keep shooting!”
Chihara Rinto lowered his head and looked at Murakami Iori's hand. He was stunned for a while and smiled: "Now is not the past. I have a girlfriend. Don't cause misunderstanding."
Murakami Iori withdrew his hand like lightning, and then wanted to punch him - I'm not crazy, whoever is sick would date you, you are such a workaholic and won't even go home, whoever marries you has not accumulated any virtue in his previous life!
But after a moment, she laughed again. It was a good thing that Chihara Rinto could joke, "Okay, think about it a little more, Chihara, stay focused now, film the show well, don't think wildly."
Chihara Rinto nodded. If Murakami Iori had no other solution, it seemed like this was the only way to go, but... I always felt that something was missing, and the effect of the series should look better.
It is his responsibility to make the film well. Since Murakami Iori has no choice, he does not want to worry her any more. After all, her work pressure is also very high. She is responsible for the logistics of the crew and supervises other crews who are broadcasting normally.
It was quite tiring. He stood up directly and said with a smile: "Then let's do this for now, I will think about it later, and you will think about it too."
He was about to leave, but Murakami Iori pulled him and said with a smile: "Wait, you've finished talking, I have something else to do!"
Qianhara Rinto stopped and asked strangely: "What's the matter?"
Murakami Iori took out a photo from his bag and handed it to him: "Look at this, if it works, I'll use it."
Chihara Rinto took it and took a look at it, and found that it was a photo of a calligraphy work. It was written with the title of their drama "Olu's No. 1 Beauty". Dragons and phoenixes were dancing. It looked like the calligraphy master's handwriting.
Dahe Opera is not an ordinary drama. It is co-ordinated by big producers, excellent screenwriters, historians and folklorists, who work together and prove the script to produce the script. It uses the best actors, the most exquisite costumes, the best lighting effects, and the latest high-definition technology
Cameras, etc. were used to conduct the most meticulous and rigorous filming. Even the title of the Dahe Drama was inscribed by a well-known calligrapher.
Now what Iori Murakami has brought is the title of the play that she found a famous calligrapher to write. Not only will it be used in every episode, but it will also be used in publicity work before the play is filmed. It cannot be ignored, and it must be used no matter what.
Chihara Rinto nodded - not in a hurry, but Murakami Iori had already been called, so he took it to him for a look.
Chihara Rinto took a look and found no problem, and Murakami Iori was better at this kind of thing than him, so he smiled and said directly: "Not bad, let's use this!"
Murakami Iori took out another booklet, "This is the historical knowledge placed at the back of each episode. The consultant team submitted it. Please take a look at it when you have time. Also, the Oulu Tourism Bureau agreed to provide the location for free and
They sent personnel to cooperate and were willing to provide food and accommodation for our location team.”
"Thank you for your hard work." Chihara Rinto flipped through the pamphlet and didn't pay much attention to it. These can only be regarded as Murakami Iori's communication with him. He is not a historian or archaeologist. He can't change what others have written.
As for the location shooting in the Oulu region, we mainly shot landmarks such as mountains and rivers to prevent the filming of "Olu's Most Beautiful Princess" from being completed and the audience discovering at a glance that this drama has nothing to do with Olu.
Iori Murakami talked to him about some trivial things about the crew and asked him if he had any new ideas for publicity before leaving. Rinto Chihara sent her off before returning to the filming site - they are now in NHK Film and Television
In a village at the filming base, the first few episodes of this drama are all about "Ryohime"'s life as a girl. More than 90% of the scenes were shot here, and the first episode of the drama is about to be filmed, which is a severe drought in her hometown.
Ryoko, a kind-hearted and courageous woman with six feathers, is ready to sacrifice her life to perform the rain dance to please the gods so that the gods can drop nectar.
Chihara Rinto was not in a hurry to return to the camera, where Tsumura Haruki was taking the photo, and the lens was not too critical. He stopped Tsumura Haruki from getting up from a distance, and started walking around the shooting scene, thinking about how to make the series
A little more brilliant - Logically speaking, the current situation is not bad, so I can just take pictures with peace of mind, but I always feel that something is missing, which is really annoying.
There is nothing to choose from in terms of camera equipment, and the support from the TV station is not low. They have all the latest machines, and based on the current broadcast conditions, even if you really achieve movie-level shooting, it will be of no use - now everything is
It's a big-ass CRT TV that doesn't meet the high-definition standard, and the screen is so small that even if the audience is blinded, they won't be able to see what it feels like in a movie theater!
There is no problem with the shooting techniques. The directing team carefully storyboards the shots and the camera crew is strong enough. They are constantly making fine adjustments based on the on-site conditions. It’s difficult to improve!
The script is also good, mainly because the life of "Ryohime" is very exciting, and the adaptation is very impactful, and the audience's needs have been carefully considered. The only problem is that the Taiga drama took too long to film, and there were too many films, and the audience was a little bit
I am aesthetically exhausted and my enthusiasm for watching dramas is extremely low, but this problem... is really a real problem and cannot be changed!
Qianhara Rinto walked around and around like a donkey. The staff at the shooting scene couldn't figure out what he was doing, but they could probably guess that he was thinking about the problem. No one disturbed him, and his gaze
Finally, it was placed on Safiko.
If there is any problem with the filming, it is that the beauty of "Ryohime" was not captured. It is so beautiful that it makes people addicted and beautiful. But this is not Safuko's problem. She acted seriously and reached the level of the director.
As for the requirements of the crew, the only thing to blame is the times - as the old saying goes, audiences have seen too many beauties nowadays. Safuko is very beautiful, but it is said that the audience can't breathe as soon as they look at her appearance.
If you have a heart attack, you won't be able to capture this effect.
Really, it would be useless to replace any actress, even resurrecting Marilyn Monroe would be terrible. Audiences in the 1940s could be fascinated by her, but if you replace the audience in the 1990s, after watching 80% of the time, they will feel... good
, she is really a beauty, she is a bit stronger than other beauties, but in terms of how much stronger she is, it is not a huge difference.
And if "Liang Ji" really wants to produce good results, she should be "very different" from ordinary beauties. Otherwise, why would she be called "the most beautiful girl"?
Chihara Rinto stared at Safuzi and thought for a while, and then lowered his head. He felt that there was nothing he could do about it. Safuzi was already the most suitable candidate he could find, and he would find someone with a better appearance and temperament that would be more suitable for him.
"Ji", he had no place to look for it.
In other words, there is no recruitment in this area, so what else can be improved?
I also cheated. I used all the [Scouting] and [Spiritual Matching] skills in the Silly Bird system. I also used two "Energy Potions". Is there anything else that can be explored in this regard?
Qianhara Rinto opened the Silly Bird System and looked through it for a while, feeling that it was gone. The Silly Bird System was useless and not as valuable as those audio and video fragments.
Qianyuan Rinto thought about it for a while, but finally thought about it.
It is indeed time to face reality, and the ratings of more than 20% are indeed justified when compared to the Dahe dramas of the 90s. At least competing with NHK on the same stage, there is a high possibility that NHK's Dahe dramas will be pushed to the ground and beaten - myself
It's so difficult, NHK is probably having a hard time.
If you have tried your best, there will be nothing to regret. The next step is to implement the entire plan and then calmly accept the results.
Qianhara Rinto made up his mind and prepared like this. After all, whose grades can go straight up like a rocket? There will always be ups and downs, and it is normal to have ups and downs.
But just when he was about to turn off the Silly Bird system and prepare to go back to host the shooting, he suddenly discovered that he seemed to have a useless prop: the beauty filter.
This thing was the system reward he got for breaking the highest ratings record. It had been left there to gather dust for more than a year and had long been forgotten. When he suddenly saw it, he couldn't help but think - can this thing be used?
Anyway, it’s just a waste of time. Do you want to use it for this drama?
Thinking about it carefully, it is quite appropriate to use it here, but will it be effective if used? The Stupid Bird system is not generally ineffective. It is almost like a retarded person in daily life, but I have no other good way now, and I have tried my best.
If you try your best, does that mean you have to treat a dead horse as a living horse doctor? What if you can save it?
Maybe I should give it a try. The requirements are not high. If you can increase the ratings by 1%, it is a victory!
