As the director of the television production bureau, Shiga Ayumu is actually under a lot of performance pressure. After all, the most fundamental purpose of commercial television stations is to make money, and if you want to make money, you must have ratings, and to have ratings, you must have good programs. However, as a just now
Emerging TV stations that have just been merged and reorganized a few years ago are short of talent and have no background. The audiences do not buy the programs they produce, which is really a headache.
Therefore, he has been committed to improving the hard power of the production bureau. When he has nothing to do, he will look around to see if there is anything cheap to pick up. Corporal Li Xian, with sincerity and sincerity, has indeed picked up some talents who have fallen out with the Big Five in the past two years, including
There is nothing a small team like Rinto Chihara can do about this. Normal people can work in Fortune 500 companies, but they cannot consider ordinary large companies. Kanto United is just missing out.
After he picked up Qianhara Rinto's small team, he didn't pay much attention to it. After all, he was also very busy at work, and it was impossible to follow him every day to ask for help. He just expressed his sincerity in terms of the budget and prepared to go to the summer as agreed.
When the show was about to start, I went to take a look at the big production that this small team was preparing to do, but no one paid attention, and this small team actually started working on a program to train the working group!
The fifth episode of "Human Observation" has an average time-sharing rating of 16.7%. This may not be uncommon among the top five, but it is rare for them. They currently have a total of 71 programs broadcast on all channels. Only those who can reach this level... Four
, only one time-sharing average ratings exceeded 20%.
Shiga Ayumu immediately called people to the office for a small meeting. They watched "Human Observation" together, and then analyzed it in detail. They generally believed that if the program persists, as long as there are no major problems, it will accumulate slowly.
According to word of mouth, after a few seasons, the average time-share ratings are very likely to reach over 25%, which is a promising prospect.
A program that has the potential to reach 25% is enough to try to squeeze into the top ten of the popular list. Although the certainty is very small (the final season), it is still a great event. Suddenly Shiga Ayumu couldn't sit still and hurried to
The crew of "Human Observation" rushed over, and they were about to play the role of "Big Ear Liu" Manano Yoshioya again, so he quickly went to say hello!
Being able to do a team training program definitely proves his strength. If he was really a big-eared Liu, he would dare to give "Jade Guanyin" to Chihara Rinto and tuck it into his bed, and change it to a program with a ratings of 35%. This one
It’s 100% possible to make it into the top ten, absolutely no problem!
He hurried all the way, and ran to the program group of "Human Observation" alone. It was like a surprise inspection. Amidst the surprised greetings, he simply asked and rushed to Qianhara Rinto's office, and just adjusted
With a good facial expression, I was about to knock on the door, but found that the door was ajar, and there were voices coming from inside...
"The plot here does not need to be advanced. Although the conflict will be stronger if it is advanced, the narrative of the TV series mainly depends on the structure. If it is advanced, it will destroy the structure and the gain will not be worth the loss."
"Teacher Qianhara, what is this structure you are talking about?"
"Well, generally produced programs are divided into three parts. Haven't you noticed? This is not easy to explain. Let me give you an example..." Chihara Rinto is still revising the script with Shiraki Keima. By the way,
Giving lessons to "named disciples", that is, telling some experiences that later generations have summarized about Japanese dramas, is considered as a reward for this disciple's serious help in polishing literary scripts.
He recalled it, took a pen to draw on the waste paper, and said with a smile: "Let's take a mystery drama as an example. Twelve episodes in a season are usually divided into three major chapters. Episodes 1 to 4 count as one chapter. Basically
Each episode solves a case, and uses these cases to establish the character, clarify the background, and lay out clues. Then 5 to 8 episodes are considered one chapter. There are often continuous cases, memory killings, etc., and the last 9 to 12 episodes are considered one chapter.
Chapter, here is mainly to advance the main plot, which usually involves human nature, conflict of concepts, creates a climax, and increases the ratings, until the story of the season is brought to a successful conclusion."
"So that's it. Our new script seems to have the same structure."
"Yes, this is a mature experience that has been repeatedly tested by the market. Even if it is a poor story, using this structure to produce it can at least ensure that it will not be procrastinating and boring to the point of being unclear, or simply deviate from the main line, even if it is produced
Even if it’s not good-looking, at least it can have a compact plot and a complete story, which is the minimum respect for the audience.”
After Chihara Rinto finished speaking smoothly, he was a little confused and asked Keima Shiraki: "Didn't the teacher tell you about it at school?"
"No, this is the first time I've heard of it!"
Qianhara Rinto nodded silently. It turns out that no one has summarized this. Or maybe the Internet was not popular in this era and communication between people was not smooth, so this kind of production experience that was popularized in later generations has not been fully spread? Or maybe
At present, each production bureau has its own routine and self-contained system. It has not yet reached the stage of full involution and unified production specifications?
Before he could figure out the problem, he suddenly heard a burst of applause. He quickly turned around and saw that the top boss in the production bureau had come in. Ayumu Shiga applauded with a look of appreciation: "As expected of Mr. Chihara, you said
That’s great. At least respect for the audience, this sentence is really good! As a TV producer, we should have this kind of mentality!”
Qianhara Rinto was stunned, stood up quickly, and asked politely: "Director Shiga was so complimentary, I was just chatting casually, um... why are you here? Is there something wrong?"
Shiga walked into the room and said with a hearty smile: "It's no big deal, I just came to see how your working environment is like. Are you getting used to it?"
Qianyuan Rinto understood a little bit. He came here to check on the progress of the work. This is normal. When people invest money, they must come over to see where the money has been spent and whether the money has had any effect. This is normal.
It's a little strange that the director came in person, but it doesn't matter.
He quickly said to Keima Shiraki: "Mr. Shiraki, go and call Miss Murakami back quickly and say that Director Shiga is here."
He was reminding Iori Murakami to prepare the information report work. He has been autistic for more than a month. The program "Human Observation" is all managed by Murakami Iori. At most, he has daily meetings with his support team.
He was reviewing the final draft of the program. As for what was really going on with the program... he didn't know. The superior leader had come to conduct a surprise inspection. If he was asked some detailed questions, he would not be able to answer them at all, and it might be very embarrassing.
Shiraki Keima responded and hurriedly ran out of the house. Shiga Ayuu quickly stopped him and said with a smile: "No, no, I just came to take a look, so as not to affect Miss Murakami's normal work."
Shiraki Keima hesitated for a moment, but Chihara Rinto winked at him and asked him to call the leader. Can he take his polite words seriously? Whoever takes it seriously is a fool!
He insisted on sending away Shiraki Keima, asked Shiga Ayumu to sit down, and asked someone to bring tea. Shiga Ayumu sat there, his eyes fell on the "Absolute Ichiban" banner, and he stared at it
After a while, I looked around again and found that the office was in a mess, with scraps of paper everywhere, and a corner of a sleeping bag exposed under the desk. I couldn't help but sigh: "I've been busy lately, so I didn't come over to take a look. I didn't expect Teacher Qianyuan's place to be so...
It's rudimentary. This is my fault. If you need to add anything, please don't be polite, Teacher Qianyuan."
Qianhara Rinto also sat down and said with a smile: "It's already very good. I have everything I need." This can be considered to be honest. Anyway, it is better than the treatment provided by Tokyo Broadcasting Teb. At least he can have a big relationship here.
Office, and he was still more concerned about Shiga Ayumu's purpose of coming, and quickly asked: "Director Shiga took time out of his busy schedule to come here. Do you have any requirements for the program? If so, please just tell me."
Investors will inevitably have some requirements, such as changing the model, inserting some soft advertisements, etc. This is normal and he can accept it. Shiga Ayumu quickly said: "Don't get me wrong, Mr. Qianhara, the bureau is very satisfied with the program.
This time I come to congratulate Teacher Qianhara and Miss Murakami, you have put on a good show for the bureau!"
Chihara Rinto was at a loss. He had been autistic recently and had not paid much attention to the affairs of "Human Observation". At most, he only held daily meetings with the auxiliary creative team to make decisions on the final draft of the program's editing, and...
Didn’t they say at the morning meeting that the ratings just passed 16%?
What's there to congratulate about?
He couldn't understand it at the moment. The 16% ratings had long been ignored in his eyes, and there was no place for ordinary variety shows in his eyes. His goal was to have a reputation, have social repercussions, and bring great success.
If national TV dramas with great fame and huge profits do not pursue these, they will simply be struck by lightning and enter the golden decade of TV program production.
He suddenly suspected that Shiga Ayumu was speaking sarcastically. Leaders generally have this kind of behavior. Could it be that they had an excessive budget of 9 million yen per week, but it was only 16% after five weeks into the season?
Ayumu Shiga is a little dissatisfied with the ordinary data, right?
He pondered for a moment, feeling that he had to correct his attitude first, put on a remorseful face, and sighed: "The current ratings are a bit low, and the growth in ratings this week has also slowed down, but as a new variety show
As far as the program is concerned, the current ratings increase is fast enough, and it is difficult to make qualitative changes in the short term. I hope the bureau can bear with it more, and our crew will be more proactive in finding ways to achieve certain results as soon as possible.
"
Anyway, when dealing with superiors, it is definitely right to admit your mistakes first and then express your determination. Shiga Ayumu is also a little confused. Why do you blame yourself? You have been here for a month and haven’t you seen what we are like in the station? You guys?
The new show is five weeks into its season and is currently ranked fifth in Taiwan!
If you blame yourself for doing this, should I fire most of the production staff?
For a moment, he couldn't figure out what kind of magical brain circuit Qianhara Rinto had. He just came to connect with each other and had no other meaning. He quickly said: "The bureau is still satisfied with the current results of the program and has high expectations for the future."
!”
Chihara Rinto couldn't figure out what was going on. This didn't seem like being sarcastic. Wasn't it here to express dissatisfaction? At this time, Murakami Iori finally arrived. After greetings, he immediately sat down and reported on the current work schedule.
As well as her expectations for the future, she made it quite formal. After all, she was dealing with her superiors’ superiors’ superiors. She still had to have this attitude!
Shiga Ayumu was really speechless, but under this situation, he could only listen carefully. He finally listened to less than half of it, and he really couldn't help it. If this continues, the original communication of feelings will become an inspection by his superiors.
Already working.
He quickly interrupted Murakami Iori's report and said with a smile: "It's noon too. I know there is a good store. Let's go over and eat and talk."
No, it must be served on the dinner table, otherwise the relationship will not be connected!
