Chapter 415 Just wait for the pilot season to see the results
Chihara Rinto couldn't trust the professionalism of the employees at the SBS production center, so the backbone of the crew directly transferred a group of veterans from the Kanto United Production Bureau. Only ordinary staff were employed by SBS employees. Externally, it was claimed that it was to use the old to guide the new and help
sbs trains local teams.
The SBS Board of Directors had no objections, the production center had some objections but didn't say anything, and the production center PDs who felt insulted and had their cheese tampered with, including Chihara Rinto, even pretended to be none of them, and didn't absorb any of them.
Kim Soo-mi is a little worried about this. The crew can mix it up, and the audience won't see it anyway. It doesn't matter. But if you really want to boost ratings in Korea, you still have to use Korean artists as actors. If you don't accept PDs from the production center, then who will
How about contacting popular actors?
After all, although Chihara Rinto is somewhat famous in the Korean entertainment industry, his appeal is completely incomparable to that of him in Japan. Not to mention his personal relationships, he doesn't even know a few Korean actors.
Is it just based on the quality of the script to impress those big actors?
She was still guessing what Chihara Rinto was going to do, when she suddenly discovered that Chihara Rinto had no intention of inviting anyone to participate in the show. Instead, he cast a wide net and submitted the script abbreviation directly to the Korean Actors Guild to see which actors wanted to come.
If you try your luck, you can come to the audition. All comers are welcome.
Kim Soo-mi felt that it was a bit nonsense, and the audition was also very weird. Chihara Rinto just asked the actors who came to audition to line up and walk around the room. He looked at the lens effect and it was considered as the audition was over. It felt like a child's play.
The SBS employee who was responsible for maintaining the order of the audition was completely confused. Jin Xiumei's brows were frowning more and more. After waiting for an actor to leave the door, she saw Chihara Rinto draw a big circle on the information, and her previous performance.
Different, finally couldn't help but ask: "Are you planning to let Miss Moon Hye-young play the role of Eun-hee?"
Qianhara Rinto looked at the information without looking up and said casually: "She is the most suitable at the moment. If there is no better one in the future, she will be the one."
Jin Xiumei flipped through the actor information in her hand and said confusedly: "But she has only participated in two dramas, and they were all supporting roles with few roles, and the ratings were not very good..."
Chihara Rinto said nonchalantly: "It doesn't matter. I've looked at it carefully. Her age, appearance, temperament and acting skills are all enough to support the role of Eun Hee. She should have no problem playing it."
Kim Soo-mi didn't know what to say for a moment. Moon Hye-young is a new actress. She hasn't had any successful works since her debut. Just by watching her say a few words and then looking at the camera effects, you'll know that her acting skills are adequate.
used?
Which eye did you use to see this?
Why didn't I see anything?
If she had the final say, she would never give the heroine to someone like Moon Hye-young. I feel that she should still find a way to invite famous actors, but it's a pity that she doesn't have the final say. Although the SBS Board of Directors invited Chihara Rinto to come
, but this is a dead horse and a live doctor. Whether he can adapt to the Korean market is still unknown. Now that he is willing to do a drama to try to open up the situation, the SBS Board of Directors is also willing to give him full responsibility.
Jin Xiumei was a person who observed and assisted. She could not object to Chihara Rinto's opinion, so she could only remain silent. Then she spent two days with Chihara Rinto to meet more than 160 actors of various types, and Chihara Rinto did not
After discussing with everyone, more than 90% of the actors in the drama were appointed.
Half of them are new-generation actors who have just debuted and are trying to find opportunities to express themselves, and the other half are special actors who specialize in playing the roles of elderly people, housewives, etc. Generally speaking, there are almost no famous ones, but they are the unlucky ones.
A lot of them, especially the actor who plays the male lead Jun Hee, were not good in two dramas in a row. They are the kind of actors who are not doing well and have no future. KBS and MBC don't want to use them.
As a result, he happened to be spotted by Qianhara Rinto, and it only took him a minute and twenty seconds.
Kim Soo-mi has been following for so long, and now she hopes to finish filming "Blue Life and Death", otherwise it would be a pity for such a good story, but there is absolutely no choice. In the end, looking at the confirmed cast list, I was very sad - Portrait of Chihara Rin
They formed an "unlucky egg alliance", and if word spread, it might make people laugh to death.
…………
The relevant legal personnel were responsible for the acting contracts and other matters. After Chihara Rin selected the actors, he immediately led the actors to read the scripts and rehearse the scenes. The crew also began to select filming locations, call equipment and other matters.
Preparations were made, and then four days later, in mid-December, "Blue Life and Death" was actually ready to start shooting.
It was also the first time for Chihara Rinto to participate in the opening ceremony of a Korean TV series. He respected the local customs and followed Korean rules - the Japanese production bureau burns dolls, but here they offer pig heads. There is a big difference.
Koreans like pigs. Not only do they like to eat pork, they also regard pigs as animals that can bring blessings. In ancient times, they liked to use pig heads when offering sacrifices to gods. In the film and television shooting industry, which highly emphasizes psychological comfort (feudal superstition), sbs's job
When the staff started the machine, they made a big pig's head and placed it on the altar.
Everything is difficult at the beginning, and pig heads represent a good beginning in Korea. Offering a pig head is a way to pray to God for blessings that the filming will go smoothly.
Chihara Rinto was stared at by the pig head, feeling that the pig was a bit stubborn, but it felt okay. He remembered that when Korean dramas started, they would sometimes invite shamans to dance the gods, but now they just offer pig heads to pray for blessings together, which is considered simple - South Korea
Folks generally believe in the primitive religion of shamans. If someone moves to start a business and gets a chronic disease, they often invite shamans to exorcise evil spirits. This is a unique folk custom.
When I started "Blue Life and Death", I didn't see the shaman walking around the knife mountain and doing the "Crazy Dance". I only saw the pig's head. Maybe the SBS staff was not sure about the beliefs of the Kanto United staff and were afraid of causing any religious conflicts.
Didn't dare to invite - Chihara Rinto knew that shamanism was very popular in South Korea, and it was because of South Korea's female president ***. She was caught by the prosecutor because of such bad things as "best friend interfering in politics" and "best friend accepting bribes".
And her best friend is a descendant of a shaman, and I heard that she can act as a magic stick for the president on many matters.
After Chihara Rinto led the entire crew to donate the pig's head, the pig's head was taken away. He didn't know if it would be eaten, but he wouldn't worry about it. The filming of "Blue Life and Death" officially started.
Filming Korean dramas is also a challenge for him. According to Japanese dramas, "good scripts are poorly shot". Korean dramas are just the opposite.
angry.
Fortunately, he originally had strict requirements on shooting quality, but now there is a new group of viewers who have higher requirements for the exquisiteness of the pictures, so he has no problem adapting.
The crew quickly started running smoothly according to the shooting plan he made, and the work was progressing orderly and smoothly, but the scene was a bit chaotic. The main reason was the language problem, which was difficult to coordinate. Some people spoke Korean and Chinese, some spoke Japanese, and the two families
The staff of the TV station communicated in Chinese and English. If someone who didn't understand the situation suddenly entered the crew, they would probably think that this was a super-large production co-produced by four countries.
But these are minor issues that do not affect the overall situation. Occasionally, misunderstandings may occur due to poor communication, which does not waste much time.
Kim Soo-mi couldn't help with the filming, she could only assist with logistics and outreach work, but she curiously observed the differences between the two TV stations, Kanto United and SBS, and soon discovered that the staff of Kanto United were more obedient.
, the work efficiency is also higher, and the personal abilities are stronger, obviously better than the employees of sbs.
However, SBS also has advantages over Kanto United. The equipment used in SBS shooting is more advanced and sophisticated, and digital equipment is more popular. It saves time and effort, which makes the employees of Kanto United very envious - Kanto United is still using 90
As for the equipment from the early to mid-1990s, there are a lot of old antiques from the 1980s. There is a huge generation gap between the equipment used by SBS. After all, Japanese large companies will save money wherever they can, and they will definitely not replace it until they have to replace it.
Change.
In other words, in Japan, the application of most new technologies that are of vital importance is always half a step slower than in other countries, even if Japan is a major producer of digital products.
Chihara Rinto is also rectifying this aspect, but the progress is currently slow. The main reason is that the Kanto United are used to it from top to bottom. They don't think there is any problem with this, and they are more willing to pursue low prices. As for performance, it is fine if they can make do.
It's so cutting-edge - the double-layer toilet paper now used by Kanto United Production Bureau was changed after he came to power. It used to be single-layer toilet paper. You have to be careful when wiping your butt, for fear that unspeakable things will happen if you use too much force.
, not to mention completely replacing the equipment.
…………
The filming progressed very smoothly. Chihara Rinto was in charge of the filming while controlling Iori Murakami and Rumi Nishijima to handle matters at the Kanto Joint Production Bureau. They even took a plane back and forth for several meetings on the same day and kicked a few of their subordinates.
Ass, and in the midst of such busy work, the time soon came to the end of December, and the first and second episodes of "Blue Life and Death Love" entered the post-production stage-this is to participate in the Spring Festival pilot season next year (mid-January
It starts before and after the Spring Festival and spans the entire Spring Festival period) and is specially made, with a more compact rhythm, exceptionally beautiful shooting, and an extended version.
This is also the reason why Korean dramas are often particularly amazing at the beginning. It’s not good at the beginning, and it didn’t get a good response during the pilot season. It’s useless even if you can make a good show later on, because the show will never be officially launched.
to the broadcasting time.
Chihara Rinto gave priority to the observer, Kim Soo-mi, to try it out. Although the post-production soundtrack, production of the opening credits and other steps had not yet been completed, and Kim Soo-mi's face was even more exposed by the drama, she still watched with gusto, and even looked a little in awe of Chihara Rinto.
Already.
The effect was even better than she imagined, with handsome men and beautiful women, exquisite lines, and a lot of thought put into the composition, framing, and lens language. Even though she knew it was a semi-finished product, it still seemed to have an indescribable sense of comfort, and she couldn't find anything.
A place where you can play.
Not to mention the smoothness of the plot, the structure seems to be exquisite, and there is a big suspense at the end of each episode, which makes people want to watch...
Of course, these alone are not enough to awe her. After all, Chihara Rinto is not an unknown person. It is natural for him to produce good works. The main reason is that all the actors used in this drama have natural and smooth acting skills, just like
The acting is mediocre, and she doesn't look like a newcomer at all - it's still hard for her to understand how Rinto Chihara selected actors. It obviously doesn't make sense, but now that the finished product is out, it can only be said that Rinto Chihara's vision is extraordinary.
General Poison is also an expert in training actors. He is indeed a talented producer who single-handedly supports Kanto United.
Naturally, Rinto Chihara was watching with her, and she felt very comfortable watching it. Mainly because she thought the actors were eye-catching. Korean drama actors look much more refined than Japanese drama actors. After all, 83% of the country's citizens have had plastic surgery to some extent.
This is a special country where 99% of artists have had plastic surgery - the reason why it is not 100% is because there must be one person in the Korean idol group who has not had plastic surgery to cater to the fans who are opposed to plastic surgery, otherwise it is really 100%
Already.
Of course, the artificial ones look exquisite. At least if you don't consider issues such as "unnatural" or "fake", they still look very pleasing to the eye.
The filming went well, at least he was quite satisfied with it and felt quite good about himself. He just waited to participate in the pilot season to see the results.
After all, this industry will always rely on ratings to speak for itself.
