Chapter 73 There is still one week before the spring season

In order to lay a solid foundation for "Observation of the Human World", Chihara Rinto did not hide any hidden ideas. He talked about everything he knew. He wrote six large blocks on the large whiteboard alone and made dozens of sketches and requirements.

There were more than a hundred listed, and the auxiliary creative team looked at these things and were convinced. Even if they had some small thoughts, they were simply thrown aside. It was too detailed. He was worthy of being specially invited by the senior management. He did have two brushes. What could anyone think of?

He had thought of all the things, but he couldn't accept it.

In order to rush for time, Chihara Rinto was not polite and directly proposed a series of imaginative ideas:

"When I meet my girlfriend's parents for the first time, what should I do if my girlfriend's father is a Yakuza boss?"

"The boyfriend my daughter brought back is an old man. Should I bless him?"

"A little girl who only he can see suddenly appears in the house. How will the male owner react?"

"My husband accidentally owed a huge sum of money because he was a guarantor. Will my wife get angry?"

"My mother and my wife cook the same dish. After eating it, who cooks it better?"

"..."

Including the series that Iori Murakami mentioned before, the program concept proposed by Chihara Rinto was enough to shoot twenty episodes, and then the auxiliary creative team discussed the details, feasibility, selection of the best, and designed the script, and Chihara Rinto

We also learned from the experience of later generations and designed accordingly for layout planning, pictures, dubbing, and color matching. In particular, we set strict requirements for "immediate response from guests in small windows".

"Small window guest instant reaction" is also called "wipe performance" in the industry because it is fake, so it is called a performance. The expressions of the guests are all recorded separately. Often when the studio shots are shot, the serious variety show content has not yet been

When it was filmed, it was basically the guests laughing and being surprised together as they looked at the script and followed the staff's instructions.

This can be regarded as a characteristic of Japanese variety shows, and it can also be regarded as a bad habit.

Under normal circumstances, as the main content of the variety show is played, a small window will be opened on the normal screen to put the guest's "wipe performance" in to increase interest and interactivity. However, this situation has miraculous effects when done well, but it cannot be done well.

It will make the audience very disgusted. What are we here to see? Once the four small windows are opened, half of the serious programs are blocked. Are we specifically here to see these people laughing?

But sometimes the program team has no choice. When you invite these guests, they have other requirements besides remuneration. The most important thing is to seek exposure. Often the contract requires you to appear for at least a few seconds in each episode, so the program team

We have to find a way to let these people take turns to appear on the screen. As a result, it often goes too far and becomes a major cancer in variety shows.

It’s not that it’s unnecessary, it’s just that it’s less interesting and more annoying.

Chihara Rinto was very guarded against this. This was a huge dislike point for more than 80% of the audience in later generations. He said hello in advance and asked the auxiliary creative team to pay more attention, especially to ask Iori Murakami to find the host and pay special attention when fixing guests.

The contract requires that you would rather spend more money than accidentally allow your own program to open four "sunlights" at most two. It cannot be continuous. Just keep one as normal.

When making a show, the audience's feelings come first, and everything else takes a back seat. We are an "amateur variety show", and the hosts and guests are just for show. You just get paid, don't rush to show your face all day long.

, you are not the protagonist, you are only responsible for the icing on the cake.

As for another cancer of Japanese variety shows, that is, the "Eh warrior", this Chihara Rinto didn't pay much attention to it.

Because the variety show studio is a single recording, the host and guests are acting based on the script, and it is often difficult to invest in real emotions. Their expressions and intonations are often exaggerated, and "knowing smiles" rarely happen.

.

On the contrary, in order to express surprise and show that they are really working hard, they usually say "Hey, eh, eh, eh" endlessly, sometimes for more than ten seconds, and the staff responsible for audio editing in the later period will give this group

Such a funny nickname.

This overseas audience looks really annoying. How surprised are these guys and how new they have never seen the world? But it's okay in Japan, because the audience here is used to "reading the air for the sake of reading the air". It is generally believed that

This is to save face, it can only be considered a moderate exaggeration, and the level of acceptance is quite high, so don’t take it to heart too much.

The creative team has Rinto Chihara as the anchor. Everything is done step by step and the progress is very fast. Some things that a normal creative team needs to discuss for three days can be done in thirty minutes, showing the true nature of a time traveler. Iori Murakami chose

Corner, the formation of the working group is also unusually fast, mainly because of the money.

Shiga Ayumu is a short fat man who keeps his word. Although he is very busy at work, even Corporal Reken cannot come here every day to brush the hair of the two newly deceived calves and feed them soybeans, but he used the budget to express his sincerity enough.

After Iori determined the scale of "Human Observation", he ruthlessly submitted a high budget of 9 million yen per episode to the organizing committee.

It's really high. After all, they are an "amateur variety show" and they have no plans to hire celebrities at the moment. Generally speaking, the hosts and guests of this kind of show are all talented people. They are basically cheap goods and serious actors.

There was no way to compare, she was going to bargain for the nine million per episode and give the committee a chance to cut off a few million.

Chihara Rinto felt that she did a good job and that this kind of scheming was nothing. If the budget was reduced to five to six million per episode, they still had a sufficient budget.

For example, the later variety shows, the cheaper ones like "Follow Me to Your Home", which are half reality shows and half variety shows, only need one host, a small team of camera and sound pick-up, and a public post-production department of the production bureau.

Well, the production fee in the 1990s was only one million yen per episode, which might not be used;

More expensive ones, such as in-studio talk shows, such as "The World That Songzi Doesn't Know" and "The Tongue Team" require inviting popular guests, and sometimes a large number of guests. The production cost fluctuates greatly.

But after deducting the initial investment in the studio, three million yen is usually enough to complete one episode;

For more expensive programs like theirs, which usually go out on location and spend a lot of money on props, an episode of five to six million yen can definitely be done in a decent way, and no one will find too many problems;

The most expensive ones are just programs like "The Adventures of Ah Q" that run around the world. The production cost of an episode of this kind is about 10 million yen, which is basically the same as the cost of shooting a single episode of a general TV series.

In other words, the price Murakami Iori asked was actually enough for them to go overseas to film programs in these days. It was considered that the price that the little snake swallowed the elephant would not be counted until 2010, when the production cost would have doubled.

There are some shows like "The Adventures of Ah Q". If you don't have 20 to 30 million yen, you might as well not go out. Just go around Japan.

But Murakami Iori submitted the budget, and it was approved within an hour and a half. Nine million yen was not missing at all. Murakami Iori was really moved. He showed Chihara Rinto the budget list and sighed:

"Qianyuan, although we are training the team for this show, we must do a better job."

She felt like she would die for her confidant. It was really no exaggeration. She had never enjoyed this kind of treatment before, and her heart was really filled with excitement.

Chihara Rinto also didn’t expect that the main task of the committee was to card the budget, which was a major source of their power. These people were so happy. It was obvious that Shiga Ayumu had greeted him in advance and had some degree of communication in private.

Giving a good suite and improving personal treatment are two different things.

The production bureau has its own set of operating rules. It is impossible for the Kanto United Organization Committee to be monolithic. Shiga Ayumu is also endorsing their program. If the program fails, he will probably rely on his personal prestige and words.

There will be considerable losses in terms of rights.

This is an invisible favor!

Qianhara Rinto also knows how to count. He also understands the saying that a favor is given and a reward is given in return. He immediately nodded seriously and said: "Of course, our pursuit will not change. Of course, the program must be good."

Even if it is not just to repay a favor, the program to train the new team must be done well and strive for good results, otherwise it will not be able to train a good team. Moreover, he is also confident. He did not pay much attention to this aspect in the past. After taking a closer look recently, he realized that now

Sure enough, we are still far away from the era when variety shows were king. The current variety show model is generally not very good, and it is still a bit far away from innovation and change. The variety show with the best ratings at the moment is actually a guessing game from Sakurajima TV.

Of course, we should not underestimate the small game of "Guess the Fan". This program is quite popular and highly interactive with the audience. The audience also likes to see celebrities, dignitaries, and celebrities showing their smart or stupid sides, aesthetics and ugliness.

Perfectly integrated, the ratings are very good.

It’s just that variety shows still can’t compare with popular national dramas. Currently, the ratings of variety shows are generally low, and the production bureau’s requirements for ratings are also low. For example, if the passing mark for TV dramas in the same period is 15%, then 10% for variety shows is enough.

The level of attention is obviously low. Variety shows at one level are of low quality and cannot arouse widespread social repercussions. They do not increase performance as much as popular national dramas, and they cannot serve as the face of the TV station. They are really pure entertainment programs, far from being

When you are crazy about investing.

Therefore, even if it is a purely vegetarian variety show and the preparation time is a little short, Chihara Rinto still feels that "Human Observation" can go up and give it a try, at least the ratings will not be too ugly.

They, a good couple, sighed a few words about the high budget, feeling that they were finally living a good life, and immediately started working separately. Murakami Iori had money and was easy to do, and the production bureau also supported her, and she had strong organizational skills.

An extremely bloated working team was quickly formed. After the show was filmed, she wanted to recruit the best performers to be the backbone of the summer production, and the remaining less capable ones would continue to work on "Human Observation".

As time passed, the program planning room was turned into a large warehouse full of waste paper and garbage by Chihara Rinto. There were whiteboards everywhere, many items had been modified beyond recognition, models were scattered around, and stickers were posted on the walls.

It was full of plans and program points, but it was not dared to be cleaned by ordinary people, so many things that needed to be discarded were temporarily piled in the corner.

Murakami Iori also completed the casting work and invited a popular entertainment group to serve as the host. The fixed guests are three men and two women, according to the standard of one funny, one handsome, one old, one beautiful, and one ugly.

They were paired with each other, and then handed over to Chihara Rinto, who decided on their characters and designed their own lines and memes.

The studio also worked overtime to renovate it, and it was basically ready. All kinds of special shooting equipment were also available. On the day when the twelfth episode of "Wonderful Stories of the World" was broadcast, Murakami Iori gave the order and the filming of "Human Observation" officially started.

!

There are still more than a week left before the spring release in April, so we have barely caught up. However, Chihara Rinto attaches great importance to the first shooting, so as usual, he went with his shorthand notebook.
