What is the most fundamental thing about making a TV series?
It’s not the script, it’s not the director, it’s not the actors, it’s the camera. Without professional photography equipment like a camera, no matter how good the script, no matter how excellent the director, no matter how popular the actors are, it’s all in vain!
Therefore, cameras are treated specially in the crew and have some kind of "sacred" attributes. They are used and maintained by dedicated people. Even the boxes containing lens filters are specially carried by someone. There are many myths about it.
.
For example, there were basically no female cameramen or even female camera assistants at this time, because it is said that women have a strong yin energy and are easy to channel psychic energy, and cameras have some kind of "soul-sucking" properties. Cameras touched by women are prone to capture things they shouldn't.
For example, the director's assistant Haruki Tsumura told Chihara Rinto a story. When filming a horror film, there was nothing unusual during the filming, but an actor's wife who came to visit the studio sat in the box containing the lens, and the result was that the film was completed.
Finally, a woman in white clothes appeared and disappeared in an inconspicuous corner of the screen, and from time to time she gave the camera a miserable smile.
At that time, the crew was so scared that they hurried back to the set to beg for mercy, and invited eminent monks to perform a transcendence ceremony, which finally solved the problem.
For another example, if the character played by an actor dies in a play, or his death is tragic, or his tomb appears on the scene, then in addition to the salary, he can also get an extra small envelope, which will contain a small envelope.
Count the money, and the actor will send the money to the shrine. It is said that this is to prevent the actor's guardian spirit from resenting the camera and getting in to cause damage.
For another example, due to the "soul-absorbing + image-recording" characteristics of the camera itself, it is easy to attract inexplicable "spirits" to enter, causing the machine to malfunction during shooting, removing tapes, scribing, etc., which may seriously affect the shooting progress.
In short, in Qianyuan Rinto's opinion, they are all some obscure feudal superstitions, almost urban legends, and he feels that not all the people in the crew believe this, but it is strange that no one dares to ignore it, they are all the same
He looked very serious, probably because he was not afraid of ten thousand, but was afraid that if he didn't treat the camera well this time and someone took it to heart, he would be blamed for various filming accidents when the filming of the next season starts.
Even Murakami Iori, a female elite who graduated from a university and received higher education, did not dare to ignore her. She stood far away with an extremely serious expression. Now think about it, she never came close to the camera during the entire filming process. She was probably a woman.
reason.
The shutdown ceremony was co-hosted by director Arima Fujii and the cameraman. Under the solemn watch of everyone, they brought a group of photography assistants and bowed to the cameras and talked to them. After three months of hard work, you guys need to shut down the camera and have a good rest.
Wait, in a week and a half, I would like to ask you to work hard so that we can finish filming the next season safely.
There were four cameras in total. A group of men gathered around and comforted them carefully for a long time. They were more considerate than coaxing their wives. Then the cameraman turned off the camera. Fujii Arima took a white hemp rope with talismans and tied it in a symbolic circle.
It can be regarded as a kind of seal or barrier to prevent the work team from taking a vacation. There are not many people in the studio, and there are wandering "spirits" who see that this thing is good and get in.
The whole process is similar to the booting ceremony. It is very nonsensical. Chihara Rinto is accepting Tsumura Haruki's "popular science" while trying to maintain his super serious expression. You may not believe it, but you must not show an expression of indifference, otherwise it may not work.
Arima Fujii came back to protest.
But he really can't pay attention to it in his heart. Now the TV can't accept high-definition signals, and the post-processing time can't be too long to meet the deadline. The current TV programs are in a state of poor image quality, and the performance of these four cameras is not as good as ordinary civilian ones in the future.
I have a SLR camera, but now I am enjoying the treatment of a living ancestor on the set, which is really a bit speechless.
He dared to guarantee that if there was a fire in the studio, these four cameras would definitely be the first ones to be rescued. Instead, tools like actors would have to escape on their own.
But no matter what, with the shutdown ceremony completed, the filming of the first season of "Amazing World" has officially ended. Murakami Iori and all members of the creative team bowed to the working team again, thanking them for their hard work in the past three months.
, and directly announced a holiday. The work in the early stage of the second season is basically completed by the creative team. The working team can take turns to take a holiday for more than a week, go on a date, spend time with my wife and girlfriend, or sleep peacefully.
Sleep is considered as compensation for the continuous overtime work of the previous three months.
Moreover, Murakami Iori also made an appointment with everyone in the working group to have a dinner together tomorrow night, which can be regarded as a consolation party + a celebration banquet. After all, the eleventh episode of "Shiqi" will be broadcast tonight. I think it will definitely break the record, so I won't do it.
Twice.
The employees of the working group are also full of interest in breaking the record, and they all expressed that they are looking forward to it. They will also watch the program that they have worked hard on tonight, and they are very happy. Of course, the more important reason for being so happy is that although in these three months,
It's hard work, but the money is not less. The salary is large and small, and there are additional bonuses, and the prime time period can be moved next season. I think the budget of the crew will be more sufficient, and their income will be increased accordingly.
In a TV station, as long as the ratings are good, it doesn't matter whether you are happy or not.
These people happily dispersed, waiting to have some fun and relax tomorrow. Only a few people on duty were left to guard Studio No. 17 and do some simple repair work.
That night, the eleventh episode of "Wonderful Story of the World" was played on time. This time Chihara Rinto watched it. It was a celebration of his first "Ichiban". Congratulations on being able to establish a foothold in this strange world and strange country.
, and the next morning, the ratings report also told him that he was not wrong to celebrate.
Not surprisingly, the response was still excellent. They successfully broke the record of 17.1% for the highest average time-sharing ratings of late-night dramas, reaching 17.32%. And they actually had one extra episode to set a higher record. There is nothing comparable.
It’s even more enjoyable to set a record and make those who come after you feel sick watching it with tears streaming down their face!
However, it's really not easy.
Chihara Rinto carefully selected the script, used all the crooked tricks, and racked his brains to trick the audience into watching;
Fujii Arima worked overtime continuously and tried his best to cover up the idol's shortcomings in acting, forcing the crew and actors to strive for excellence, ensuring that the quality of the series was at least above the standard;
Iori Murakami provided all the logistical support he could to the two creative colleagues, and did not let them worry about trivial matters. He tried his best to seize resources in the production bureau and shouldered all kinds of pressure. His whole body was swollen.
The swelling has gone away, and the swelling has gone away again. In three months, I feel like I have aged three years.
But all the hard work was worth it after breaking the record.
Murakami Iori took the ratings report and read it over and over again, but there was no ecstatic gesture like Chihara Rinto imagined. Instead, her eyes were red. She kept rubbing the words 17.32% with her fingers, while Fujii Arima burst out laughing.
Three times, I was stunned for a while, and suddenly sighed. I didn’t know what I remembered. Then I became energetic again and said with a smile: "Finally... it’s over. I want to have a good drink tonight. I feel like this in the past three months."
A year’s worth of energy has been used up.”
Murakami Iori touched her face and nodded with deep feeling: "Yes, I really need to have a good drink."
Chihara Rinto was still looking at the data, researching whether it could reach 20%, and who else could be poked in the butt. When he heard about this, he hesitated, feeling that Murakami Iori was only their boss in name, but in fact they were always equals.
Treating each other, it seemed inappropriate to just ask her to pay for the celebration, so she interjected: "Ms. Murakami, do you want money for the celebration..."
What he meant was to share it evenly. Even if he didn't have much money on hand now, he didn't want to be too stingy about this kind of thing. After all, he was also enjoying the respected treatment of the creative team here, but Murakami Iori couldn't help but laugh,
He blinked and said with a hint of truth in his words: "It's okay, people from the brokerage company will come and join us."
It turned out to be a trick. Chihara Rinto understood, but immediately became wary: "Will there be any problem?" The prospects of the crew are excellent at present, but they don't want to get into trouble and be caught by the production bureau just to save money.
The "Broadcasting Law" has regulations on bribery and bribery. TV station staff are not allowed to hold shares in brokerage companies, and there are strict requirements on the value of gifts received from brokerage companies. It is fair for actors to participate in the show.
compete.
Of course, true fairness can only be achieved by fooling children so that they won’t believe it. However, if there are regulations, people may find fault, so you must be careful.
Murakami Iori has not been in this circle for a day or two. She has never eaten pork and has seen pigs walking, and there are no outsiders here. She smiled directly and said: "No, they will pay for the drinks in private.
On the surface, the restaurant gave us a discount. We don’t know anything, and no one can say anything... This is a routine, and everyone knows it. No one will say anything in the first place, so Qianyuan doesn’t need to worry."
Qianhara Rinto nodded, feeling like he had learned another trick. As expected, he drank a lot of wine in this crooked business, but the cooking fee was not much. He did not put much pressure on Murakami Iori, and he would not say more about this issue.
What.
Afterwards, they adjourned the meeting and continued to complete their duties. At around five o'clock in the afternoon, Chihara Rinto was still wondering why his unlucky apprentice did not come. Murakami Iori got a car and took him, Fujii, Yoshizaki and others to a house.
Went to a high-end restaurant for a celebration banquet.
Relaxing and having a drink is a perfect end to this season!
