Night, 01/5/95.

Kanta Kameda sat on the sofa with a cup of espresso, looked at the line "23:15-0:50, "Wonderful Things of the World" on the program schedule, and scratched his head in some distress.

He is a "drama critic", or a film critic, but his job is mainly to comment on TV dramas in newspapers and rate dramas, which has little to do with movies.

This work is still very important, and it is different from other countries.

The chain of contempt in the entertainment industry in normal countries is like this: movies look down on TV series, TV series look down on cartoons, and then these three look down on variety shows and idols together.

But when it came to the book, this chain of contempt changed, and it became unique in anime, advocating power generation with love, being incomparably high, and not mixing in the entertainment industry (90s), followed by TV series and movies, and then the brothers looked down on variety shows together (no educational and artistic, only grandstanding garbage), as for idols, they are cheap tool people, and they don't even have the qualifications to be despised.

Although it is a little difficult to understand, in this book, TV dramas have the obligation to teach the people, and their status can even be said to be a little higher than that of movies, at least not to lose to it, and there is no such phenomenon that film directors and actors look down on TV drama directors and actors.

Normally, if an actor wants to become famous, the best way is to appear in a TV series, and this alone speaks for itself - most of the previous actors and actresses have acted in TV series, and almost everyone has a hot drama.

Kameda's work mainly revolves around the TV series, briefly explaining the plot of the series in the newspaper, and making a relatively professional evaluation, and conducting a certain in-depth interpretation, so that the audience can decide whether to follow the drama or not.

In the era of lack of Internet interaction, his work is still very important, and it is also one of the important contents of the family entertainment section of the newspaper, second only to the blockbuster news such as a celebrity's split.

However, he is a newcomer, and it is not his turn to point fingers at the hot dramas in prime time, so he was assigned to watch the unlucky late-night dramas, not only do he have to stay up late, but I am afraid that even if he writes out the drama reviews, he will not attract much attention, which is equivalent to being busy in vain.

But he can't say anything, late-night dramas are more suitable for newcomers, anyway, it's over spraying, simple and direct, just suitable for practice - late-night dramas are mainly low-cost horror films and erotic films, and critics can scold them directly without watching them.

Vulgar, vulgar, vulgar, you can't film without a bare ass?

This blood is ketchup, right? You are so fooling the audience that you are reluctant to use the artificial blood of corn syrup? Have you used the budget to eat and drink? I suggest that the TV station check the account!

Silly bird screenwriters, idiot directors, and ugly-looking producers, making this kind of film insults our intelligence, and it is not good to die!

Just scolding like this, absolutely yes, to ensure that the audience feels the same way, and no one protests!

He sat on the couch, took a sip of coffee, watched a TV shopping show and waited for the time - the troll level 1 combat ready!

It's started, the theme song is ordinary, is the budget really low? The tradition of Japanese dramas is 80 points for actors, 100 points for the script, and 120 points for the theme song, this article alone can be seen to be unqualified, and the style of the song is ...... It's a horror movie again, right? It's nothing new, is it the same as the big bad movie of "Horror Ward" before?

He picked up his pen and wrote down his evaluation of the theme song in his shorthand book: The opening song is ugly—— trolls are ready for battle at the second level!

Then, Michiko shows her little face on the screen, and the plot begins to unfold slowly - OK, the troll cannon is ready, the troll launches the countdown, 3, 2...... Hmm, wait?!

In the first short drama at the beginning, three or five shots captured Kanta Kameda's heart, and he involuntarily entered the rhythm and followed the plot.

Oh, soul swap, it's quite novel, I've rarely seen it before......

But who is this little girl, her acting skills are really explosive, and it's a pity to shoot a night drama......

Hey, what's going on? Betrayal? Bastard, how can you do such a thing, is this still human?

This screenwriting level is a bit special!

30 minutes seem to pass in a blink of an eye, and with the nursery rhyme of the last middle-aged Miho, the picture is frozen in the weird smile on the corner of the lips. When the picture cuts into a small gloomy stage, Takeda Kazuma appears on the camera and begins to explain the concept and background of "Shiqi", Kameda Kanta shuddered and woke up, and couldn't help but fall into deep thought.

Bastard, this ...... Is this a nighttime drama? It's a hundred times better than a hooded guy chasing a few little nurses selling meat with a chainsaw!

Tight rhythm, novel story, gorgeous acting skills, this is sent to the prime-time frontline, and it is enough to compete with other TV stations for viewership share, right?

Could it be that Tokyo Broadcasting TEB has the ambition to start a ratings war in the late-night period? But what is there to compete for in this period? Strategic needs to open up a fourth ratings battlefield?

It's the same with other stations?

No, I'm a drama critic, it's useless to think about this, think about what's wrong with it first......

The only problem is probably the director's lack of experience and lack of experience in controlling excellent actors, which makes the actors of "Miho" too eye-catching, and there is a phenomenon of pressing the scene, making other supporting roles transparent, but this is not a big problem, this is still a very good short drama, and it can even be said that it is a waste to shoot so short!

He thought about it all the way, but he didn't hear much what Takeda Kazuma said, and he didn't move at hand, and then, as Takeda Kazuma turned into a black cat, the second skit began.

He looked at it twice and breathed a sigh of relief, this actor is right, this is the normal level of a late-night drama actor, but this story ...... Is this a satire of social reality? Or is it a pandering to the current wave of civil fist against the death penalty?

That's a lot of ideas...... Oh no, I started to be tortured, and I almost broke my waist for this screenwriter!

He watched it for another 25 minutes, and he didn't write a word, and finally looked at it for 5 minutes equal to one day, and the 30-day sentence was equivalent to a murderer who had been tortured for decades like a walking corpse, and he only felt happy!

This story is also very interesting, it is different from the previous one, and the reversal is very happy, but who is this screenwriter? A veteran who has been in the industry for many years, right? What mistakes did he make and was sent to shoot a night drama? Is there an inside story to dig up?

He just wanted to watch it all the time, and he was relieved until he saw the preview of the next episode, and after staying for a while, he looked down at the line "The opening song is not good" on the speed word book, and directly reached out and pulled a handful of hair!

Bastard, the prepared draft can't be used, I'm really going to stay up late tonight!

…………

The second saint was in a daze almost at the same time before, she had not been baptized by the Internet, and she had never seen such an interesting and interesting reversal short drama, and she watched three in a row, and almost lost her language ability.

It's really, really interesting, although it makes people feel a little scared after watching the first short drama, but I can't help but want to continue watching, and even worry that other things are not exciting enough, but after watching it, I just feel that I can't get enough.

It turns out that a late-night drama can still be so interesting?

That weasel, no, that meerkat, no, that Chihara-sensei is so powerful!

She originally didn't plan to watch "Shiqi", but today her favorite new drama by Mr. Ryuji Terada started, she deliberately waited in front of the TV, but she was a little disappointed after watching it - "Konosuke on the Field", a Warring States romance drama, is the type that her idol is good at, but after she watched the first episode, she always felt that something was weird, and she couldn't even determine whether Konosuke was the protagonist, and the childhood sweetheart of Konosuke in it was too bewitching and pretentious, and her acting skills were ridiculously poor, not like a village girl at all, a bit of a drama.

But because it is Ryuji Terada's script, she has confidence in her idol and decides to continue chasing, maybe it will be exciting later, and there will be a love that can sing and cry, and people will be intoxicated.

After watching "Konosuke on the Field", she turned off the TV and went to the bathroom to clean up the hair oil from her hair. She likes soft and smooth hair, long and straight, but it is a little troublesome to take care of it.

After finishing her hair, she was ready to go to bed, after all, the winter vacation was over, and she had to go to school tomorrow, but she always felt that she had forgotten something while lying in bed, and she remembered it after thinking for a while, and she promised to watch Hitomi Konoe's screen debut.

She is a person who keeps her promises, so she quickly got up and went to the living room, turned on the TV and waited boredly for a long time, and finally waited for the late night drama.

But it didn't wait in vain, it was really good-looking!

She wore chubby bear pajamas and hugged the pillow and curled up her slender legs, and after a long time on the sofa, the more she thought about it, the more interesting she felt, she wanted to exchange her thoughts with two good friends, and even prepared to discuss it, and also arranged a similar multi-element reversal drama in their drama club, but when she looked at her watch, it was already past one o'clock in the morning, so she could only give up the idea of calling.

I can only wait for tomorrow, I really want to talk to others about this drama soon!
