Murakami Iori was reading the script and was concentrating on it. Chihara Rinto, who was sitting opposite her, gradually became relieved. He was worried that Murakami would not be able to understand the script and that she would not be interested in it.
This is inevitable, as scripts and novels are two different things.
Except for some magical works, novels often have a clear timeline, which is in line with human reading habits, and what he handed over was a scenario script, regardless of the timeline.
Maybe in the scene script, in the last scene, the lovers were sweet and flirty, and in the next scene, the two people were quarreling and stabbing each other with knives. The time may have been ten years, but these things happened in the same scene, so they were placed in the same scene.
Together, it is convenient for actors to use and directors to convert into shot scripts.
Moreover, the script is very boring. There is no character interpretation, no psychological activities, and no large paragraphs of background explanation. It is completely based on lines, supplemented by descriptions of action and scenery. It is straightforward and straightforward, and it will look special to people with a slightly weaker brainstorming ability.
It's the director's job to interpret the story out of boredom, it's the actor's job to enrich the character's emotions, and those have nothing to do with the screenwriter.
To put it simply, for the same story, a novel may make people read it with gusto, but if it is replaced with a scene script, it will most likely make people confused and disgusted. If you use it to wipe your butt, you will be afraid of lead poisoning.
It was a literary script, the kind intended for investors and other laypeople, but a producer couldn't even read a scene script, so Chihara Rinto didn't think this was the candidate he wanted.
Now Iori Murakami is obviously an expert, so for this expert, whether this script is worth filming is another question.
Just because an interesting story is filmed is not guaranteed to be a hit. Countless TV series that were promising in advance but were actually cut in half have already proven this.
Fortunately, judging from her current performance, Chihara Rinto should still be quite interested. She is mainly worried about whether the public will be able to accept this kind of multi-element reversal drama in the 1990s. But on the other hand, if it was placed in the 90s,
In this era, reversal dramas are still a new thing, so as long as you can accept it, you will definitely be interested, right?
After all, it is not a reversal drama. In 2019, when imagination dramas have become popular on the street, it can be considered an innovation.
…………
That's right, Chihara Rinto came here from 2019, and he can be said to be the unluckiest person in 2019.
His real name was Lu Zhishou, and he was a student majoring in directing at a well-known university. During the summer vacation, he stayed in his dormitory and wrote his short thesis. This was very important, as it determined whether he would develop into a director or a screenwriter after his junior year.
But something unfortunate happened. The city he was in was an area prone to thunderstorms. Every year, one or two unlucky people out of six to seven million people were struck by lightning, and he was one of the unlucky people in the list in 2019.
He sat at his desk and worked hard in the middle of the night, not listening to what was going on outside the window, and just wanted to write a paper. As a result, lightning struck somewhere near his dormitory and electrocuted him to death along the line. It was really unfair!
There are obviously air switches and other equipment, but they are of no use.
Then when he woke up again, he arrived in Tokyo, Japan, at the end of 1994, becoming Chihara Rinto who couldn't find a job and was so decadent that he died.
Moreover, it is unbelievable that this is a parallel world. He confirmed it when he got familiar with the environment. The historical process of this world is similar to his original world. There are slight differences in time at most, and the cultural customs are similar, but the people are different.
It's the same. For example, he couldn't find the works of famous writers such as Kawabata Yasunari, Akutagawa Ryunosuke, Natsume Soseki, Mishima Yukio, and Murakami Haruki in the bookstore.
Perhaps people have changed, and corresponding works have also changed. There are many good works in the bookstore, which are not inferior to the classic works in his original world, but he has never heard of any of these works, and does not know any of the authors, and he does not even know them.
The famous Nobel Prize for Literature is gone, replaced by the Sebaid Prize for Literature.
It seems that all accidents in human history are inevitable, or there is God's will in the dark, creating these two worlds that are probably similar but not the same.
This was a very curious question, but he couldn't care about research for the moment. He had to find a way to survive first.
The original owner, that is, the original Chihara Rinto, stayed at home for more than two years, living in vain, leaving him with basically nothing except a few personal belongings.
Before the bubble economy burst, the original owner's family lived a very good life. They owned an industrial company controlled by the family. Although the scale was small, the income was considerable thanks to the great development of the Japanese economy and the huge market brought about by China's reform and opening up.
High, the level of wealth is far higher than that of ordinary middle-class families. Unfortunately, the parents of the original owner could not control their greed. Seeing that the real estate industry was so profitable and much better than doing business, they decisively took out low-collateral loans from the company and then entered the market with financing, resulting in a bubble economy.
Once it collapsed, the company couldn't even repay the interest on the loan, and finally had no choice but to file for bankruptcy protection.
Later, the original owner's parents couldn't accept that the hard work of two or three generations was instantly wiped out. They were also angered by the shareholders for poor management. They themselves felt guilty for making the wrong decision and couldn't bear the shame. They simply burned charcoal and committed suicide.
As a result, the original owner became impoverished overnight. His home was seized and debts were paid. He could not afford to pay for college tuition and failed to apply for a student loan. He had no choice but to drop out of school and rent a small apartment to survive on the pocket money from his previous personal account.
.
He also looked for a job, but with no education or professional skills, he couldn't find a serious job. Working part-time was too tiring and he was insulted by being shouted at. He basically couldn't stand it after working for a few days. In the end, he just became decadent.
He began to hold back his resentment in a small cheap apartment, writing various accusations against the unfairness of life on paper in the name of writing. Until Lu Zhishou came, Lu Zhishou finished reading his "works + suicide note" and learned about his past.
, I found that the writing made no sense, was like a disease, and had no artistic value, so I just sold it as scrap paper.
Then Lu Zhishou began to accept the identity of Chihara Rinto. It was easy. The original owner had no parents and no contact with relatives. For more than two years from 1992 to 1994, he basically had no social contacts and had no friends at all. As a result, he just swallowed everything.
After accepting part of the original owner's language and common sense memory fragments, he directly became the new Chihara Rinto. Then it was his turn to think about how to survive in this period of Japan's Great Depression.
What should I do otherwise? I can’t explain it even if I return to my country, and Chinese nationality is notoriously difficult to obtain, so I can only treat it as being forced to go abroad to work.
As for the time-travel benefits that most people have, he didn't get all of them...
Before he was "struck by lightning", he was writing a paper on his laptop (mainly about the history, characteristics and future predictions of the Japanese film and television industry). The hard drive contained a large number of Japanese dramas, Japanese variety shows and Japanese movies as reference materials, as well as
Some relevant documents, literary works and a little bit of literary action and romance films.
Now in the parallel world, people have changed. These works have no owner and have become his things. As a person who can recognize reality clearly and have clear goals, after he understood the environment, he only thought about it for three minutes and prepared it.
Working in a TV station production bureau is at least better than working odd jobs!
Otherwise, can a college dropout, with no capital and no connections, really start from scratch? Let’s support ourselves first, because I can’t even pay next year’s rent!
But there is a problem. These image data and text data are fragmented, and some are incomplete. He needs to spend a lot of time to distinguish and restore them, and then put them together like building blocks. Some of them need to be completed by themselves. It is estimated that
It can't be completely faithful to the original work.
But don't rush this yet, do it step by step.
He sold almost all the personal belongings of the original owner and used a little money to start looking for people to inquire about the situation of the TV station. Finally, he learned about Iori Murakami from the security guard of Tokyo Broadcasting Teb. He thought she was the most suitable and finally succeeded in sitting in front of her.
, waiting for her to read the script and see if she is willing to promote filming.
Establish goals, recognize reality, make plans, and implement them strictly. Now all that is left is to calmly accept the results.
