Chapter 179: Assembly Line
Rumi Nishijima was instructed to see and listen more when she came to Rin Chihara's side, and get to know him well, after all, her uncle as deputy director of the station is inconvenient to deal directly with Rin Chihara - the fierce general of the director's family, he, the leader of other factions, is in contact with each other faction in private, and it is easy to cause disharmony, which is not necessary at present.
Rumi Nishijima didn't pay much attention to this task at first, feeling that Rin Chihara didn't have much choice, that is, to do quality supervision, guide the general direction of each drama, or find faults, modify some places, or have some requirements for the quality of the final product.
As for the specific work, it is natural that each crew will have to complete it by themselves, but I never expected that the final choice of Rin Chihara was to prepare to undertake the creation of five new dramas and let everyone give him a hand.
Or should it be said that the five crews will carry out secondary creation on the basis of his creation.
This is really a bit of a child's play, creating five works at once, what kind of brain-dead thing does this have to do?
Generally speaking, the idea of a good story is enough for the screenwriter to cut off thousands of hairs, and to create five stories at the same time, is it intended to be bald or schizophrenic?
Is there enough time?
She wanted to raise objections to this production model several times, but she endured it, after all, the success or failure of Rin Chihara is none of her business, and even for her, it is better for Rin Chihara to fail - she feels that the path chosen by Kanto United is not right, and to solve the current predicament of Kanto United, learning from the American TV drama production model is the only good way.
If Rin Chihara fails, she might as well try to suggest the introduction of a production company from the United States, which might be more beneficial to her.
So she kept silent, just sat on the side and watched coldly, but after watching for a few days, she was stunned to find that the script creation was very smooth, smooth to an unimaginable extent, it was as if Chihara Rin already had a complete idea, character design and plot in his head, and he was just implementing it on paper now - he wrote the outline in turn, set the tone, noted the requirements, and then asked the episode writers to fill in the details, fill in the actions and lines, and convert them into specific scene scripts, and then corrected the episode scene scripts, or simply hit them back and remake them.
As for the time, everyone has entered the 997 work mode, and he seems to have become 007, she can see Chihara Rin when she goes to work, and Chihara Rin is still there when she gets off work - this guy lives in the office, and it is estimated that his only private life is to eat and sleep.
Rumi Nishijima finally understood why everyone didn't have a comment on Rin Chihara's "nonsense", this guy is a genius, and a genius who dares to work hard, for such a person, no matter what he plans to do, it is difficult for you to say to him "This is not okay".
…………
Rin Chihara didn't care about what Rumi Nishijima was thinking at all, anyway, this guy was just a "prison army", and as long as the prison army didn't make trouble, it was the best prison army, it didn't matter if he could help, and he didn't care about it, he was devoting himself to his work, laying the foundation for five new dramas.
"Homeless Child", this is a drama tailored for the unlucky apprentice, he is going to broadcast it at 8 o'clock on Friday night, he already has enough audience appeal and deterrence to his peers at this time, it is more convenient for this show to achieve high ratings, and it can also help Michiko compete for awards.
Of course, this is also the drama he used to continue and continue to enhance his reputation in the summer, and it is the top priority - after such hard work, he has to eat the fattest piece of meat by himself, which is natural.
In addition to this, he also directed the team of writers in the preparation of four new dramas.
One of them is "Xiang Bang", the original meaning of the word Xiang Bang refers to the two people who carried the sedan chair in ancient times, and later extended to "partners, partners", its main content, simply put, is the "special department" of the Metropolitan Police Department - the story of a pair of partners sitting on a cold bench to solve various difficult cases, is a standard reasoning drama, and the audience is still quite wide.
The ratings of this drama in the original world are not too high, but it is a national hit drama, mainly because the vitality of this drama is strong enough and long-lasting, and there is a group of solid reasoning fans - a total of 18 seasons and more than 300 episodes have been filmed, and there are also six big movies and SP and prequels and postquels exclusive to the supporting roles in the movie.
And what's even better about this drama is that it doesn't need famous actors, the plot is quite exquisitely designed, based on social reasoning, and has the rigor of Benge's reasoning, basically relying entirely on the plot and reasoning to win, and there is no need to pay special attention to casting.
Rin Chihara thinks that it is quite good to take this drama to challenge the evening time of the Big Four, after all, it is estimated that it will suffer a big loss at the beginning, and it must be right to find someone who is vigorous and particularly resistant to beatings.
At the same time, as long as he is distracted to bring one or two seasons of this drama, after the episode writers have exercised, he doesn't have to worry about designing cases one by one, and he can completely leave them all to his subordinates to deal with, at most he can refer to a few more classic episodes.
The second is "Cold and Warm World", which is a family drama that tells the story of Okakura Daikichi and Setsuko, a couple and five daughters, in the family life, and the plot unfolds from the encounters of each member of the Okakura family, exploring various problems that may be encountered in real life, including schooling, exams, work, marriage, divorce, mother-in-law and daughter-in-law confrontation, and elderly care.
The reason for choosing this drama is the same as "Xiang Bang", this drama has been filmed for more than 500 episodes, and its vitality is also very long-lasting, and it has received an excellent response among the housewives audience, and it is called a "family drama across the era" at the end, which can be seen - this drama has been filmed from the 90s to the 21st century, and has completely experienced the prosperity and decline of the golden age of TV dramas.
The third is "Obstetric Doctor Hongniao", in the drama, the medical theme is the top priority, with a very common audience, Chihara Rin naturally can't let go of this kind of theme, but in fact, regardless of the reality of let him choose, he wants to choose "Doctor X: The Surgeon's Gate Unknown" , But the heroine of that film is not easy to find, Izumi Yuko may be able to act, but I can't be sure that the performance will be brilliant, and as long as the door is unknown, I can't play the feeling, it's very easy to kneel, so he considered it comprehensively according to the actual situation, and still chose this manga work - Sakura Hirotori, who has the dual identity of an obstetrician and gynecologist and a genius pianist, leads the team to midwifery and delivery together.
This drama also doesn't need famous actors and big actors, as long as the acting skills are online, it mainly relies on character design and theme to win, and at the same time, as long as the medical drama is not particularly smashed, there is no shortage of audiences at all - doctors have a very high social status in this book, and obstetrician and gynecologist Rin Chihara checked for a while and found that no one has been involved in this subject at all.
In the end, he chose "Suits", but it was the Japanese version.
This drama is very popular as an American drama, but after the remake of Yuben and South Korea, it may be due to cultural differences, and the effect is not particularly ideal, but the ratings are okay, and the main reason for choosing it is the same as "Obstetric Doctor Hongniao", the lawyer's social status in Yuben is also very high, just by virtue of the title of the play, you can attract a part of the audience to watch, I think the ability to resist in the competition should be not bad, as a vanguard should be qualified enough.
These five dramas are the lineup prepared by Rin Chihara for the summer file, he is a very realistic person, he didn't think that he could successfully win the season championship in one season, in fact, except for the main drama "Homeless Child", the other four dramas were sent by him as cannon fodder, the main purpose is to accumulate audiences, rely on the quality of the ratings of the four evening slots, and prepare for him to launch a general offensive with classic dramas in the future, at least establish a beachhead- These dramas are not classics, but they can be filmed for so many seasons, and they are naturally considerable, and it is enough to use them and the four major battles.
Of course, the results may not be as good as imagined, such as "Xiang Bang" and "Cold and Warm World" The initial ratings are very average, and it is estimated that they will be beaten half to death by the programs in the same period, but as long as they survive the early stage, these dramas will be a favorable supplement to compete for the season crown.
But it's really difficult, of course it's beautiful to get it overnight, but Kanto United is an emerging civilian broadcasting network, and at present, except for Friday nights, it is completely disadvantaged, and it can be said that it has been beaten in all directions, so if you want to make a turnaround, you must be prepared for long-term competition.
All the energy and preparation put into it now is just adding weight to winning the season championship, and what is needed most at the moment is patience and perseverance!
Of course, not having much hope for these dramas doesn't mean that you can be negligent, just deal with it casually, the audience is a creature with changeable preferences and lack of patience, and they will know whether the drama is good or not, even if they can't say it, so even if it is cannon fodder, they still need to do their best to shoot it well, and shoot it very carefully - it's good to catch one more audience, isn't that how the ratings come from?
Rin Chihara calmed down, stabilized his mind, and took a screenwriting team of more than 30 people to carefully create the script, and turned the group of episode screenwriters and screenwriter assistants, of course, he was even more busy, but fortunately, he didn't have to worry about the details in these dramas, for example, "Suits" involves "future technology", but the episode screenwriter doesn't know those things, so he will naturally use various methods that the audience can accept in the current era, he just needs to make a recognition or tell the unlucky guy to think again.
If it doesn't work, let the episode screenwriters use their brains to make it up, anyway, they are the screenwriters, and the screenwriting is their job.
The script creation went smoothly, it didn't take half a month, the first few episodes of each drama began to enter a state of proofreading and correction, and Chihara Rin also began to recall the director team and ordered them to start creating storyboards according to the script, he still played a supervisory role, and if he was satisfied, he used it, and if he was not satisfied, he pointed out the problem, and asked these guys to revise it again.
Rumi Nishijima watched all this go on in an orderly manner, and everyone was running around Rin Chihara, and she simply exerted the function of the production bureau system assembly line to produce TV dramas to the limit, and finally understood why her uncle specially ordered her to come over.
This person is not an ordinary person, and he really deserves attention!
It is really possible for him to reverse the decline of the Kanto Union in one fell swoop!
