Chihara Rinto was puzzled there, trying his best to recall the development history of Japanese TV dramas in the original world, trying to see if such strange things had happened, but Keima Shiraki waiting nearby felt a little strange, and couldn't help but be cautious
He tried tentatively: "Teacher Qianyuan, what are you doing..."
Qianhara Rinto came back to his senses, raised his head and smiled: "It's nothing, it's just that the ratings of this drama suddenly dropped sharply, and I feel a little strange... Well, Shiraki-kun, what do you think of this drama after watching it?"
Keima Shiraki told the truth: "I can't stand it."
"Then what do you think the problem is?"
Keima Shiraki perked up and felt that this was a test of ability. As long as he could pass it, he would probably be able to assist in creation and be directly promoted to a screenwriting assistant.
He couldn't help but become more serious. After thinking about it, he said cautiously: "I think it's a matter of casting. This drama is our station's winter flagship drama. It has invested a lot of money and hired many well-known actors. It is very popular.
It’s a star, but there’s a newcomer who just debuted in it, the one who plays the childhood sweetheart of the protagonist Konosuke. The level of acting is much lower, and it makes people feel uncomfortable watching it. I think it’s mainly her responsibility.”
Qianhara Rinto thought for a while, but in the expectant eyes of Shiraki Keima, he did not nod.
The person who plays the role of the village girl is his "ex-girlfriend" Kondo Airi. At first glance, she is from a well-connected family, but a well-connected family is a related family. It is obvious that she has received certain professional training and guidance, and she also has some talent.
Her acting skills are acceptable for a newcomer. She is qualified to play a supporting role that is almost a human background and only has a few lines in each episode. The main reason is that she is not afraid of not knowing the goods, but is afraid of comparing goods and putting her in a pile of old dramas.
The finished mung bean soup looks a bit like mouse droppings, which is very conspicuous.
However, Chihara Rinto doesn’t think it’s her problem. She doesn’t have a few scenes at all. If the show is really good, the audience won’t abandon the show in large numbers just because they don’t like a dispensable supporting character, even if it’s the “ex-girlfriend”
"It's really a bad foil for other characters. Even someone like him wants to fast forward when he sees her appear.
At most, she will attract a lot of scolding and make a very small number of extremely sensitive viewers abandon the show. It should not affect the overall situation. She is not capable of causing the data to plummet!
Just in case, he watched the show again, this time skipping all the scenes of "Ex-Girlfriend", and then asked Keima Shiraki: "How did it feel this time?"
"The plot has been separated a little bit, but it doesn't affect anything. But it's still boring to watch, even a little tiring... If I were a viewer, I might still change the channel." Keima Shiraki was not sure, so he forced the supporting role to
Even though it was "cut", there seemed to be no improvement. He asked hesitantly: "What's the problem? Teacher Qianyuan, there are obviously so many good actors, and everyone's performance is remarkable. They should be widely loved."
"
Qianhara Rinto couldn't answer and said nothing. His eyes fell on the TV screen and he continued to think. However, seeing the A-level actors with their own characteristics and reliable acting skills taking turns to appear on the screen, he suddenly felt a little jealous.
If he picks a couple, he dares to create a drama tailor-made for them, and then enters the main battlefield of the five major channels to grab the viewership share.
It's just that he can't afford the money now. For example, Michiko starred in the opening episode of the first episode, and the salary was only 55,000 yen (she is currently a super bargain), but "Konosuke in the Field" has many past awards.
The winners, as well as last year's Rookie King, each of them probably started with one million yen per episode. It is not impossible for them to earn more than two million yen per episode. This is equivalent to a weekly salary, which is quite considerable.
Collecting so many high-priced goods, this kind of thing can only be done with an extremely sufficient budget. "Konosuke on the Fields" should be a new drama created by Tokyo Broadcasting Teb. The main force has been carefully cultivated and prepared for the next year or even two.
We have been preparing for the competition for viewership share for three years, and it is even possible to win the championship. It is obvious that we have high hopes.
A real big production!
Chihara Rinto was jealous of this luxurious cast for a while, dreaming that one day he would also get the opportunity of a "big production", but suddenly his heart moved, and he remembered a famous negative teaching material in the original world, "The Great River" in 1996
love".
That film has been almost forgotten in the 21st century, but it was actually highly promoted when it first aired. It was said that there were two best actors, two newcomers, and three best actresses co-starring, and it was bound to become a classic. It was booked for that year before it even aired.
The ratings champion turned out to be a super bad movie. After airing for half a season, my mother didn’t even recognize her. I lost my huge investment and didn’t even enter the video market. After 20 or 30 years, I’m afraid only those in the industry will be able to watch it.
I have some impression of talent. If Chihara Rinto hadn't studied this major, he probably wouldn't have been able to remember it.
The show was very fantasy and very difficult to understand.
There will be wonderful chemical reactions between excellent actors. Of course, it does not refer to physical aspects, nor does it refer to prostitution, but refers to the spiritual resonance generated by the actors all being perfectly devoted to their roles. It is very magical and difficult to explain.
, and this kind of wonderful chemical reaction can sometimes turn stone into gold, making a drama extremely dazzling, but everything has its pros and cons. Sometimes too much of this chemical reaction will make the whole drama look extra special.
mediocre.
Chihara Rinto watched "Konosuke on the Field" for the third time, and finally understood that this drama is a bit similar to "Love on the Great River" in that they both use too many excellent actors, and among these excellent actors
There happened to be several couples who had a wonderful chemical reaction, forming the unique resonance aura of outstanding actors when they perform.
If there was such a chemical reaction between the protagonist and the heroine, or between the protagonist and the supporting role, the creative team should immediately carry the pig's head to God to fulfill their wish and celebrate the sales in advance, but the wonderful thing about these two dramas is that it is not as good as it is.
The veteran supporting actors unknowingly seriously distracted the audience's attention.
This is not a problem with the director. There is no problem with the director's storyboarding, nor is it a problem with actors trying to steal the spotlight. It's not that simple. These people have been acting for so many years, and they have their own sense of proportion and know their roles.
And even if they want to steal the spotlight from the protagonist, the director won't let them go.
Of course, it’s not that the protagonists don’t perform well. The protagonists are all newcomers, they are very capable, and their performances can be said to be interesting. The real problem is that the rivalry between these supporting actors is so good that even if the camera is insufficient, they can still perform well.
The supporting characters are as shining as the protagonists. They are so powerful that the audience can't help but get involved in whichever character occupies the main scene. One moment they are involved in this, the other moment they are in that role, and the next moment they have to be replaced by the protagonist and the heroine again. There is no relaxation at all.
There was even some room for confusion, so...
After being highly focused for more than ten minutes, my brain was tired and numb.
The brain is very lazy. This guy won't even think about the screenwriter and director's intentions when watching a drama. The director deliberately slowed down here. I have to calm down. Ah, the screenwriter wants to make a transition in the plot here. Although
These supporting roles are performed very well, but I can't get nervous, I have to keep the main point of view unwavering...
It doesn't think about this. It just wants to relax and watch completely blindly. Once it feels tired, it will give an order: Stop looking at this thing and look at something more relaxed. I want to rest.
In the end, the audience changed channels and the ratings collapsed.
Regarding this situation, it can only be said that in the early days of the great development of the TV entertainment industry, practitioners had not received many bloody lessons. By the time the 21st century, except for a few special circumstances, such as movies with special commemorative significance,
Outside of TV dramas, no one dares to do this anymore. Most of them are led by two veteran actors, and then they are paired with a few new generation popular actors or ordinary actors who specialize in supporting roles to start filming. No matter how sufficient the budget is, they will only focus on other aspects.
, such as improving special effects or costumes to make the series look more beautiful.
This principle is true in every era.
To put it simply, the film "Konosuke on the Field" is not good to watch because it is boring, but because the supporting characters all performed the role of the protagonist, which makes it seem mediocre and boring. Although it is a bit difficult to understand, it can be said to be inexplicable, but
But it can be called a divine drama. It is impossible for ordinary dramas to be so aggressive!
Such a gorgeous shot is rare and rare in the history of TV drama production. Ishii Jiro is also considered a talent!
Although Chihara Rinto is not sure, he feels that he is inseparable. He reminds himself that when he gets rich in the future, he will not waste money on the TV series "Konosuke on the Field". He only needs to replace a few supporting characters with actors of a lower level, and follow it
With the precision of the script and shooting, it will definitely become the leader of the season, and it will be popular for at least several seasons.
Now I can only say that it is a pity that the script was wasted, the budget was wasted, and such good publicity resources were wasted.
He was relieved of his doubts and immediately felt refreshed. He smiled, rolled up his shorthand notebook and went to the studio, ready to continue working on his work.
It's enough for him to know this kind of thing. There is no need to tell others. He has no responsibility for "Konosuke on the Field". There is no need to add insult to injury or gloat, but there is no need to help others in times of need. The creative team over there is not just a freeloader. It may not have been unexpected.
If you have to do a lot of things, just do your own work!
He left and forgot to say hello to Keima Shiraki, who was lost in thought. Is my answer wrong? Didn't I pass the test?
I asked and you didn't tell me. Is this a hint for me to think for myself?
Qianyuan-sensei’s last smile seemed a little meaningful...
It must be like this. A talented person like him must be more than ordinary strict when choosing his disciples! No, it should be more than ordinary strictness in order to be worthy of a talented master like Qianyuan-sensei!
He sat down, picked up the remote control and started watching "Konosuke on the Field" again, very seriously.
What is the answer? You must figure it out!
You must get the opportunity to study with Teacher Qianyuan!
