Chihara Rinto thought that now that he was somewhat famous, he felt that his second job search would be smoother, but the fact was far beyond his expectation.
Fujiyama TV is most interested in him, but they don’t plan to give him prime time, let alone prime time. Instead, they ask him to continue doing late-night dramas and ask him to submit a late-night drama script. If it’s good enough, they are willing to
With the investment in manpower and budget, I don't have much objection to him wanting to bring his own "team" with him.
Of course, the premise is that the script is good enough. If the script is not good, there is no need to talk about it.
Chaoyue TV has similar expectations for him, hoping that he can make another high-quality late-night drama, preferably one that can suppress the other four major TV stations, but it is a bit dissatisfied that he wants to join with his "team"
I was hesitant, but I didn’t reject it explicitly. I also wanted to read the script first before talking.
It was obvious that after the first season of "Shiqi" was broadcast, both TV stations intended to invest some efforts in the late-night period to avoid unknowingly falling into the dilemma of being behind the scenes. Chihara Rinto tried to introduce the ones he had prepared.
There is a targeted draft plan, but neither company is very interested, saying that they currently have enough programs throughout the day and will not consider making any major changes except for the late-night time slot.
As for Sakurajima TV, some people are interested in him. There is a senior creative writer who admires him very much and intends to accept him as his disciple.
Chihara Rinto tentatively asked about the production of the program. The old screenwriter said that young people should not be impatient. He was about to retire. In the future, he would pass on the throne, no, the program and connections to him...
Qianhara Rinto had no interest in being a "prince", so he left with a few perfunctory words of patting his butt. He suspected that this old guy had exhausted his potential, and wanted to trick him into becoming a fat sheep, harvest his wool, and exploit him.
Don't think that his ideas and scripts are so clean just because the screenwriting circle has something to do with literature. There are just as many bastards. He has heard many stories about veterans in the industry using various "promises" to deceive newcomers into their works.
After spending a day and a half to test the reactions of the three production bureaus, Sakurajima was directly eliminated. There was a high probability that someone there just wanted to take advantage of the opportunity, while Chihara Rinto still had the upper hand against Fujisan and Asayuki.
Sincerely, I fell into hesitation for a moment.
Do you want to go back to do late-night dramas again?
It’s not that it can’t be done. There are certain industry restrictions in Tokyo Broadcasting Teb’s standard contract. For example, after he leaves Tokyo Broadcasting Teb., he cannot make works similar to “Wonderful Story of the World” within five years. It doesn’t mean that you change the name to “Wonderful Story of the World”.
"The Amazing Story of Earth" can continue to be filmed. The five major TV stations have been working for so many years, and I don't know how many copyright disputes have arisen. Generally, there is no fault in the standard contract, and there will be no loopholes for others to take advantage of.
But that doesn't mean that he can't film other late-night dramas. After all, there are laws, and Tokyo Broadcasting Teb is not that domineering. For example, another very famous late-night drama "Midnight Diner" is a kind of food therapy.
It's completely different from "Wonderful Stories of the World". He can shoot this without anyone having to worry about it, and I believe the results will be equally good.
The main reason why he didn't dare to choose this drama at the beginning was just because this drama requires actors to have relatively high acting skills. Although it is not as exaggerated as "The Lonely Gourmet", an actor can determine the success or failure of a drama, but he still invested in the salary.
It is quite large, and casting will be difficult, which will most likely result in the project not being approved by the organizing committee.
Then go back to doing late-night dramas?
It's just that I finally escaped the quagmire of the late-night period. I really don't want to go back to film there. It's a hell of a lot. Not to mention getting twice the result with half the effort, and it's basically impossible to get more than 40% of the ratings. It will never be a real blockbuster.
Chihara Rinto sat in the apartment and sighed deeply. He felt that he was still not famous enough. At present, the main impression of major TV stations was that he was a new screenwriter who could do well in late-night dramas, rather than truly recognizing his strength. He thought
He can handle all programs with ease.
After all, he only has one successful work, and whether he is a writer or a screenwriter, there are so many that shine like a shooting star and then disappear into the public eye...
If I had two nationally popular dramas with 40% ratings, the situation would be completely different. I might have just finished my quarrel with Tokyo Broadcasting Corporation’s teb, and before I left the TV station, special cars from other TV stations were already waiting at the door.
, as long as you can sign a contract, you will be given the time slot you want, and you will definitely not have these problems now.
Chihara Rinto spent the whole afternoon thinking at home, and felt that this was the only way to go. The few program plans he had prepared that were suitable for the prime time of the two TV stations were actually quite good, but the script could be used to judge certain
Good or bad, but before it was filmed, no one dared to guarantee that the ratings would be good, not even him. The other party was even more dubious. Instead, they believed in his ability in the late-night period and only wanted him to appear in late-night dramas again.
Make an attempt.
This is the main problem. It has become a "burdened by fame" in a sense. It seems that we can only take a step back first and then build up our reputation and reputation.
Then let’s write down the creative outline and the first two episodes of “Late Night Diner”. It’s not the rookie stage now. It’s hard to budget and find good actors. This drama feels like it’s ready to be filmed. This drama is in another time.
It has a certain influence in Asia, and has been filmed in China, Japan and South Korea. If you can do it well, it will be very helpful to improve your reputation and build reputation.
He recognized the reality and did what he said. He locked himself in the room and wrote for three days. He briefly made the outline and the first and second episodes of "Late Night Diner". After preparing the details, he added them while filming, and then he
He went to see Fujisan and Chaoyue's agents again, but things went beyond his expectation again. Neither of them was very optimistic about the show.
"Midnight Diner" is indeed a comic adaptation. There is no basis for comics in this world, so the drama seems a bit bland. The plot basically revolves around a late-night canteen that only sells pork set meals. It pays more attention to people and people.
The wonderful relationship between them seeks warmth and touch in daily life, but this is a work with a wide audience and great potential. It would be too much to dislike it if both families don't like it!
Chihara Rinto tried his best to persuade any one of them to invest, but neither of them wanted to do it, so they all hinted at him to do a late-night drama to make it more exciting!
It’s not that he is allowed to engage in pornography. Public television stations don’t dare to do this. Fujisan TV hopes that it will be more suspenseful and mystery dramas, which can make up for the audience type of their TV station. Chaoyue hopes to bring some horror elements and a more bizarre style.
This matches the usual style of their TV station.
The two specialists are people from this era and this world, and have certain limitations. It is difficult to see the potential of "Late Night Diner". As a result, Chihara Rinto spent a whole day unable to convince the other party, and in the end there was nothing to do, and the other party's attitude
He has always been very good, but he only takes responsibility for his work based on their opinions. It is common for him to make modifications and denials when he is not angry. He is not so glass-hearted. He will get angry if something goes wrong, and he feels that he has been violated.
Insulting, but here's the thing...
We don’t have enough time. It’s not long before the spring season starts. If we delay it like this, we won’t be able to catch up with the next season. It would be too painful to waste three months.
He took his script and returned to the apartment. He planned to burn out the lamp oil and come up with a script that could get investment as soon as possible. He rushed back to April, May and June to participate in the spring drama. It would be better if he could give Jiro Ishii a beating by the way.
, but as soon as he arrived at the apartment door and before he took out the key, he looked up and saw a middle-aged man.
He couldn't help but asked curiously: "Excuse me...who are you looking for?"
The middle-aged man was standing at his door reading the newspaper. He didn't react until he heard what he said. He took a closer look at him and immediately asked with a kind face: "Is this Mr. Chihara Rinto?"
Qianhara Rinto took a closer look at this middle-aged man. He looked a bit ugly, with a pair of big yellow buck teeth, so that his mouth protruded a little. He looked like a comedian, and he was not tall.
, about only a little over 1.6 meters tall, with a fat body and a ball-like figure overall, but his financial situation seems to be quite good. He wears a big gold watch and a suit that looks quite classy.
His memory was not bad, and this person looked so distinctive that he immediately confirmed that he had never seen him before, and asked with slight vigilance: "Who are you?"
He didn't admit it, but the middle-aged man had basically determined his identity. He immediately took out his business card from the inside pocket of his suit and handed it to him with his head bowed respectfully: "I am Ayumu Shiga, the director of the production bureau of Kanto United Television.
, I have admired the name of Teacher Qianyuan for a long time, but I come here in a strange way, so please forgive me."
Chihara Rinto couldn't help but feel slightly surprised. The Eastern Associated Television Station has indeed been pinned to the ground and rubbed repeatedly by the top five. It is ridiculed in newspapers every day. It seems that it will be particularly miserable in the future, but this does not mean that this TV station will
It is worthless. It is the sixth-ranked TV station in the country and the core of the sixth-largest private broadcasting network. In a normal country, it is not an ordinary organization.
The director of the production bureau is equivalent to one of the core executives of the television station. He is usually a close confidant of the station director and is a strong competitor for the future station director. No matter what, you can say that he is a big shot in the circle.
Don't look at those drama critics in the newspapers who are scolding the Kwantung Union. If you really meet the director of the production bureau of the Kwantung Union, he promises to shut up immediately and not even fart.
Qianhara Rinto was also in this circle and did not dare to neglect. He quickly took the business card with both hands politely, took out his own business card and handed it back unchanged. At the same time, he asked: "This is the first time we meet, please give me some advice, but I don't know.
Is there anything special that Chief Shiga is here for?"
If you hire a screenwriter, you don't need someone of this level to come forward, right? Even if he has a bit of fame, other TV stations will send special staff to receive them. This is actually a bit rare. This is because he doesn't have much objection to changing the script.
The main reason is that the two TV stations still have sincerity and have always been polite and polite to each other. Even if they asked him to change the script, they were very polite.
In society, you respect me a foot, and I respect you a foot. This is the basic requirement.
Shiga Ayumu took his business card with equally respectful hands, and held his hand tightly. He looked at him seriously, smiled affectionately and said: "What other reason could there be for coming to see Chihara-sensei at this time? Of course it is."
We, the Guandong United, are thirsty for talents!"
