Kameda Kanta used the remote control to turn off the TV, lit a cigarette and took a deep breath, with a look of disappointment on his face - for two consecutive episodes, they were far different from the first season. Sure enough,
Is there a change in the writing team?
He was a novice drama critic. During the winter season, he was assigned by his superiors to review a number of low-cost small-production programs throughout the day, including the night drama "Shiqi". At that time, he was very dissatisfied and was classified as a hard-core drama.
I watched it with all my heart, ready to criticize at any moment, but after watching only one episode, I was deeply attracted, and immediately became a die-hard fan of "Shiqi". I took the initiative to advocate for it in newspapers, and continued to recommend it on TV viewing lists.
It’s a “five-star must-see” movie, so I have high hopes.
And the first season of "Shiqi" did not disappoint him. It did not turn into a meteor and fall. Instead, it had wonderful episodes. In the end, it became a dark horse in the winter season. It made great progress and directly broke the ratings record of late-night dramas in recent years. It is really
It's gratifying - except for some episodes using idols with poor acting skills, it can be said to be almost flawless, but he can also understand that after all, the budget is low and the creators are also in a dilemma, so they probably can only find cheap ones.
With a Tool Man starring, drama critics can't be so heartless as to hold on to this minor flaw and criticize him endlessly.
He didn't even mention these idols at that time, which was considered a show of love for the show "Shiqi", because... honestly speaking, it's really good to watch!
Later, he heard some rumors, saying that there was a factional struggle within Tokyo Broadcasting Corporation, and the producer and chief creative writer of "Shiqi" became cannon fodder and was kicked out of the TV station.
At that time, he was half-convinced and felt it was unlikely. He suspected that "Shiqi" was doing so well that some people were jealous and spread rumors and cursed their colleagues. However, the producer was really replaced at the end of the first season, and the main screenwriter was replaced in the second season.
After the show was replaced, he suddenly couldn't accept it - what was Tokyo Broadcasting Teb doing? It was fine to replace the producer, but this drama obviously relied on the script to win, so why did it drive away the creative writer?
You should give such a screenwriter a high price and tie him up with a contract!
However, the personnel adjustments within the TV station have nothing to do with the drama critics. They watch the TV series and are concerned about the quality of the TV series. If the second season is still good and the ratings are still good, even if the TV station kills the producers and writers,
Then they can't say anything. If they want to take care of it, the police will take care of it, but in this situation...
From Kameda Kanta's relatively professional perspective, the quality of the second season of "Shiqi" is not bad. After all, it has obviously spent a lot of money. The theme song and the exquisiteness of the filming have all gone up a notch compared to the first season. But don't be afraid of not knowing the goods.
I'm afraid of comparison shopping, so I have the first season on there. When I watch the second season, I always feel that something is missing. Almost all the short dramas have no room for aftertaste. They can't be called classics. It's like watching Phoenix.
Let’s go to see the Golden Pheasant again. You can’t say that the Golden Pheasant is not beautiful, but no matter how you look at it, it is just a chicken, and it still cannot compare with the Phoenix.
The first episode was over. He didn't say anything radical at the time, and he didn't even mention the show in his column. It was a chance. After all, drama critics have to be tough, and they can't treat important works like a shrew with dissatisfaction.
Just scolding them directly seems to be unprofessional. Therefore, if the quality improves, it means that the creative team needs to adapt to the change. It can be forgiven and there is no need to worry about it, but the gap between these two consecutive episodes is so big...
Is it okay to curse?
He finished a cigarette there and thought carefully for a while, then went to the phone, looked through the phone book, and called a friend, "Hey, is it Yuta? Oh, it's nothing. It was just you when I was drinking last time.
Who did you hear about the changes in the creative team of "Shiqi"?"
"That boy Kyohei? Thanks, let's have a drink together another day!" Kameda Kanta hung up the phone, flipped through the phone book again and called out, "Kyohei, do you know the inside story about the changes in the creative team of "Shiki"? It started at night
The TV series was switched to the nine o'clock slot on Friday... Oh, what did your girlfriend say? Can you help me ask her for details?"
"What? Your girlfriend heard what her sister said? Her sister's phone number is...Okay, thanks...Asshole, I won't try to trick her, I'm not that kind of person!"
Kameda Kanta despaired of the complexity of the news flow in this circle. He cursed and dialed the number again, and then asked politely: "I'm sorry to disturb you so late. Is this Ms. Adachi?"
"Yes, yes, hello, I am a friend of your sister's boyfriend, that is, a friend of Takao Kyohei-san. I am a columnist for "Dousha Shimbun". I took the liberty of calling to ask for advice on the creation of "Shiqi"
About the team changes... did you also hear what your colleagues said? Oh, you work at the Tokyo Broadcasting and Production Bureau. This is really amazing! Your colleagues' phone calls are convenient... Oh, it's inconvenient. I understand, I understand, so be it.
, can I buy you a cup of coffee at noon tomorrow and tell me what you know? No... Please, this is really important to me..."
"Thank you so much!" Kameda Kanta talked hard for a while, but the Adachi lady seemed to have a softer personality and originally refused, but later she couldn't refuse and could only reluctantly agree.
Kameda Kanta hung up the phone, rubbed his hands, and felt a little excited. If he was disappointed, a large number of viewers would definitely be disappointed as well. Then he could investigate the inside story of the decline in the quality of the series, and the column comments he wrote would definitely attract attention.
The response has been widespread and good, and I’m not sure I can take this to the next level!
However, the Adachi lady just now seems to have a good personality and a nice voice, so...
He called his friend again, "Yuta, I want to ask you something... No, it's not the matter just now. I want to ask, that boy Kyohei, no, the respectable Takao-kun, what does his girlfriend look like?"
is it beautiful?"
"No, how could I possibly pursue his girlfriend? I'm not that kind of person. Just tell me what she looks like. Stop talking nonsense!"
"Is it 85 points? You're in good shape... Okay, I understand. I'll treat you to a drink later!" Kanta Kameda hung up the phone and became even more excited - my sister scored 85 points, and my sister must have 80 points anyway, so why not?
Dongfeng from "Shiqi", besides getting a promotion and a salary increase, it would also be nice to find a girlfriend by the way!
The more he thought about it, the happier he became. Even the depression caused by the drastic drop in quality of his favorite program was relieved. He turned around and went to pick out clothes for tomorrow's date.

"It's really not Weasel who is the screenwriter!" Yamagami Aiko was very surprised when he saw the ending subtitles and asked: "Did he make any mistakes? Why is he not allowed to continue doing this show?"
She watched the first episode last week and was very disappointed. She felt that Chihara Rinto was sorry for her group of die-hard fans. She didn't even do her job well in order to pick up girls. She seriously lacked respect for the audience!
At that time, she was planning to write an anonymous letter to the TV station to scold the kid, but luckily Rinto Chihara had a reserve of idiot fans. Before, Seiko was different from ordinary viewers. She knew how to read the end subtitles - 99% of the audience didn't.
For that thing, she usually just changes the channel or turns off the TV and leaves, but in order to respect the creator, she will persist until she has finished watching the end credits. As a result, she found that the screenwriter column has changed. From before, Chihara Rinto was a single person.
It became a long list of names.
At that time, she quickly asked two friends to watch it together, but the subtitles were scrolled too quickly, and they disappeared before they could even check carefully to see if Chihara Rinto's name was in it. Finally, Yamagami Aiko decided to watch another episode to prevent her from writing.
The anonymous letter used to criticize the wrong person, but now I found out that there really wasn't Rinto Chihara in it, and I suddenly felt strange again.
Nishino Kirisa shook her head while smacking melon seeds and said: "How do we know? That is an internal matter of the TV station. And I think even the TV station may not know it internally. There must be rumors flying everywhere. If there are not ten gossips a day, there will be eight. Who has free time?
Investigate one by one carefully! If you want to know the truth, you can only ask yourself, but that guy is very dangerous, I suggest that we stay away from him, and you should stop being so curious."
She was afraid that her brainless companion would get into trouble, but the mountain god Aiko sighed: "That's true, but I still want to know why..."
She suspected that there might be some scandal, such as Chihara Rinto messing with an actress on the set, which caused public outrage and was driven away. However, she had no evidence and did not dare to talk nonsense directly - she was extremely impressed by Chihara Rinto.
Worse, almost every time I meet him, I see him entangled with women. He seems to be a super playboy, which is definitely not a good thing.
Two years ago, Seiko was worried about Rinto Chihara. After thinking about it for a while, he came up with a figure who suffered a setback in his career and was heartbroken. He was sitting alone under a lantern at a night stall drinking alcohol. He was so melancholy!
She sighed softly: "He obviously put a lot of effort into this show. It's such a pity that he can't do it after only one season. He must be feeling very uncomfortable now, right?"
After a pause, she looked at the TV again and asked her two good friends: "Are we still following this show in the future?"
Nishino Kirisa doesn't care. She thinks the second season is not a bad movie. If it weren't for the first season of Zhuyu, then this TV series would be quite good. But now it seems a bit tasteless, mainly because it did not meet the previous expectations.
of.
She was considered a neutral audience member, and she laughed directly and said: "I see you guys, if you want to continue to follow the show, let's do it. It doesn't matter if you don't, it's up to me."
Yamagami Aiko is a simple-minded viewer with a very clear sense of love and hate. He is very decisive when disappointed: "I won't follow it anymore. It's not as good as before. The more I watch it, the worse it gets. So what else am I watching? I'm not watching TV series to come here."
I’m so angry!”
Before that, Shengzi hesitated for a while and sighed: "I won't pursue it anymore. It's a pity that such a good subject matter... It would be great if Teacher Qianyuan can continue to do it."
She felt that with the current quality, she could take a look at it, but it seemed unnecessary to wait to see it, let alone three people gathering together to wait to see it - she was a fan-oriented audience, watching people choose works, and changed
The creator, she was more disappointed than her two friends and couldn't lift her spirits, even though she thought the quality of the show was just okay.
However, she admired Chihara Rinto even more because of this. She didn't expect that a screenwriter would have such a great impact on a program. It was probably the difference between geniuses creating classics and ordinary people making programs!
She was fascinated for a while, imagining that she would become someone like Rinto Chihara in the future. Others would not only notice her pretty face, big breasts and butt, but pay more attention to her inner talents, and she was fascinated for a while.
, she wants to watch the program produced by Chihara Rinto even more...
She got up and went to find the newspaper. The home entertainment section had the TV program schedule and a brief introduction to each program. The creative staff might be mentioned in it. She also said: "Maybe Chihara-sensei has not been suspended, but has been suspended."
He has been transferred to another program group, let’s look for it, maybe we can find his new program!”
When the mountain god Aiko heard this, he thought it made sense and immediately cheered up: "That guy is not good in character, but he still has talent. If there is a new show, maybe it will be good!"
Kirisa Nishino is also interested. Several short dramas produced by Chihara Rinto last season have been included in her long-term collection, and she specially bought video tapes for long-term storage. If someone like this has a new show, it is indeed worth looking forward to.
Soon, newspapers from the past two weeks were brought over, and the three of them began to circle around the newspapers to study where the weasel teacher Chihara Rinto had gone.
