Iori Murakami had been busy all day, and she was actually quite tired. She just wanted to go home quickly, take a hot bath, and have a good rest. However, she had a good tutor. She was not upset when someone stopped her suddenly. It was just strange.
He looked at Qianhara Rinto and asked with a smile: "Hello, who are you?"
"This is the first time we meet, I am a freelance screenwriter, my name is Chihara Rinto, please take care of me." Chihara Rinto followed the local customs and saluted politely, while Murakami Iori was stunned for a moment, freelance screenwriter? That's better for homeless people.
Say something?
She was thinking about something in her mind, but she still returned the gift politely, introduced herself, and then asked strangely: "Do you have any advice from me, Qianhara-san?"
"I don't take it as advice, but I just want to take the liberty to ask, is Ms. Murakami ready to start working hard as a producer?" Chihara Rinto looked at Iori Murakami very attentively, but still spoke very politely.
Murakami Iori gave him a strange look. She didn't know how he knew it, but it wasn't a secret. He smiled and said, "It does happen, but is there any problem with it?"
Tokyo Broadcasting Teb is planning to open additional satellite channels. The number of programs will naturally be expanded and more producers will be needed. This is a rare opportunity. She does not want to miss it. At least she must try hard. There are many people who have the same idea as her.
Not surprising at all.
Qianhara Rinto found out through chatting with the security guards. Although these people were inconspicuous, they knew a lot of gossip. He asked with concern: "Of course there is no problem, but Miss Murakami's qualifications are not enough, right?
Are you sure of success?"
The Japanese workplace still has a strong tradition of ranking based on seniority in the 21st century, let alone the 1990s. According to his understanding, Murakami Iori's internship and employment only lasted four or five years. At this time, he wanted to be a
The top leader of the show is indeed too junior and appears too young.
What's more, she is still a woman. In the workplace of Japan in the 1990s, it was even more difficult to get to the top.
Hearing his question, Murakami Iori's smile faded and her brows furrowed slightly, but she soon smiled again, "I do need to study more, and my chances of success are not high, but it all depends on man-made efforts. I want to try my best."
Try... Mr. Qianyuan, what’s the point of asking these questions?”
She was a little impatient, and Chihara Rinto took a deep breath and said seriously: "I can help you, Miss Murakami."
Murakami Iori was taken aback, and the formulaic and reserved smile on his face disappeared in an instant. This young man was a peripheral member of a certain faction of Tokyo Broadcasting Corporation? Is he the son of a certain big boss?
My abilities have been noticed by a certain high-level person, and they want to recruit me into the faction?
Is it the newspaper group or the local group? Or is it the bank group? The newspaper group is the most likely. I heard that they are most in need of grassroots production personnel...
For a moment, Murakami Iori became cautious. She came from an ordinary background and was worried that she had no support from factions. She had no one to speak for her on many key matters. She immediately asked politely: "You mean to help me..."
Qianhara Rinto looked around and found her "ex-girlfriend" Kondo Airi not far away, acting suspiciously. She always felt it was strange. Obviously, her ex-boyfriend was very honest in front of her in the past, and she didn't dare to show off her face at all, so she smiled and said:
"This is not the place for detailed discussions. If you don't mind, can I buy Miss Murakami a cup of coffee?"
This is in front of the main gate of Tokyo Broadcasting Station. People are coming and going. It is indeed not a place for talking. Murakami Iori pondered for a while and immediately agreed. Although the other party is a strange man, Tokyo Broadcasting Station is surrounded by the bustling places of Tokyo.
There is no danger, so no matter what the other party says, if you listen to it, at least there will be no loss. If it can be an opportunity, then you will make a lot of money.
But in order to be safer, she directly suggested the location with a smile: "Let's go to Cokc, it's cleaner there."
Chihara Rinto lightly clenched his fist. He made several plans and designed five sets of rhetoric to get a chance to have a long conversation. Unexpectedly, this Miss Murakami was so easy to talk to, so she easily agreed.
I don’t know why, but it’s good if it goes well!
He immediately stretched out his hand and walked towards the cafe with Murakami Iori, leaving only his "ex-girlfriend" Airi Kondo to continue to be confused. Didn't she come to pester me?
That loser has moved on and is in love with someone else?
Bah, what a shame!
She shook her small bag and entered the door. Anyway, she was satisfied as long as Chihara Rinto didn't make trouble here, and there was no need to worry about what he was doing.
But, in just over two years, can a person change so much?
How strange!
…………
Cokc is a coffee shop. Its full name is a long string of French words. It specializes in handmade freshly ground coffee. Murakami Iori is a regular customer here. When ordering, he was even greeted by the waiter.
Chihara Rinto sat across from her and was not impatient. He took advantage of the warm light in the cafe to take a good look at the Murakami-san in front of him.
Murakami Iori is about 25 or 26 years old, about 1.6 meters tall, beautiful in appearance, pure eye color, decent makeup, obviously well-educated, and has an intellectual beauty. Her hair is slightly permed and has a little wave.
, she is wearing a small light silver-gray coat, but the style is a bit weird. Broad and thick shoulder pads are obviously added to the shoulders, which makes her look like her shoulders are as broad and heavy as those of men, making her look very strong, delicate and intellectual.
, with a not-so-tall figure and a very strong inverted triangle shape, it looks awkward no matter how you look at it.
However, Chihara Rinto knows Japan quite well and knows the reason for this.
Japan is now engaged in a gender equality movement to encourage women to work outside the home. This started with the promulgation of the Equal Employment Opportunities Law for Men and Women in the mid-1980s (at that time, they were selling electrical appliances to China frantically and there was a serious labor shortage). But
The effect has not been good. More than 80% of urban women are still housewives at home. It was not until the 1990s that female career elites like Murakami Iori began to appear. Murakami Iori dressed herself up to look strong, probably because she wanted to
Use this method to show that you are as strong as men and can take on the same responsibilities.
Of course, the limitations of the times still exist. Thousands of years of tradition are no joke. Japan has never had a great person who launched the women's liberation movement. As a woman, Iori Murakami doesn't want to be a vase or an assistant, so she has to work with men.
In a head-on competition for workplace resources, there will definitely be many obstacles if you want to get ahead.
Yes, the information is accurate, this is the person you need.
Murakami Iori ordered coffee and then asked politely: "What did Chihara-san mean when he said he could help me?"
"It refers to this." Chihara Rinto said as he took out a stack of paper from his briefcase, placed it on the table, and slowly pushed it in front of Murakami Iori.
Murakami Iori looked down and asked strangely: "What is this?"
"A TV drama script."
Murakami Iori was immediately disappointed. The beautiful fantasy of joining a faction and having big legs was instantly shattered. She almost got up and left, but the education she had received over the years did not allow her to be so rude. Women are always weaker than men, even if they are unhappy.
, you must also exercise the minimum etiquette and never show off your face, otherwise your reputation will be severely reduced.
But she had no idea of reading it, she just forced a smile and said: "Qianhara-san, don't you know that we generally don't accept external scripts, even well-known comics and best-sellers are adapted by our screenwriters... Maybe you should
Go to a production company and give it a try?”
Chihara Rinto nodded repeatedly after hearing this. Of course he knew. If he didn't know, why would he go to such trouble to block Murakami Iori?
He smiled and said: "I don't want to go to the production company. Ms. Murakami has already come, so it doesn't matter if she spends a little more time, right? Please take a look, please!"
Japanese TV program production is very different from other countries. In other countries, production and broadcasting are generally separated. For example, TV series are produced by production companies and then sold to a TV station for premiere, or simply sold to n TV stations.
TV stations broadcast it together, but the situation in Japan is completely different. The production of Japanese TV series is completed independently by the TV station, with exclusive broadcast rights. Only this station and local partner TV stations on the same network can broadcast it.
This department that produces programs is generally called the production bureau. From TV series to variety shows, from reality shows, hot news albums to popular science education films, and historical documentaries, they are all produced by the production bureau. They are diverse and all-encompassing.
Some production houses even employ artists to produce animation works.
Of course, there are indeed production companies in Japan, otherwise Iori Murakami would not have suggested that, but they are usually controlled and participated by a large TV station. In fact, they are affiliated companies of the TV station. You still have to listen to the TV station, and the production type is often
Single, not suitable for long-term development.
It is better to join a TV station directly than to join a production company. Chihara Rinto's goal is not only to produce TV series, but also a stepping stone for him to enter this circle.
Chihara Rinto did not explain in detail to Murakami Iori, but just pushed the script gently. Murakami Iori was silent for a while and slowly picked up the script.
This is the so-called sunk cost. When I handed it over on the way, Murakami Iori probably left after saying a few perfunctory words, but everyone sat down and ordered coffee...
But she didn't take it too seriously. People like Chihara Rinto are not uncommon in recent years. Since the bubble economy burst in early 1992, the overall economic index has hit new lows. It has not stopped since the end of 1994. Even if companies do not lay off employees,
If you have a conscience, let alone recruit more people, this has caused the current employment rate to be very sluggish, and it has begun to give birth to otakus or nerds.
Especially in a high-priced area like Tokyo, if you don’t have a job that can provide you with housing, transportation, etc., it’s hard to survive just by doing odd jobs. You have no sense of security at all, and it’s especially precarious.
Maybe this Chihara-san is just crazy about finding a job...
She cursed like this and opened the script, ready to take a quick look and remind Chihara Rinto that screenwriters are not that easy to do. Which screenwriter in the production bureau has worked all the way from assistant screenwriter, episode screenwriter, dialogue screenwriter, and creative screenwriter?
Yes, you have to learn on the job for at least seven or eight years before you can become a chief screenwriter. You are only in your early twenties. If you are not the direct descendant of an industry boss and have no experience in the industry, how can you possibly create works that touch people's hearts?
?
Do you have that kind of life background and that kind of life experience?
Do you think making a TV series is child's play? You can make any trash script? The production cost of making a TV series is over 100 million!
Give up unrealistic "dreams" as soon as possible, be down-to-earth, take one step at a time, and start with odd jobs!
But as she looked at it, she couldn't move her eyes away.
