Chapter 81: I'm Not That Kind of Person
Kanta Kameda turned off the TV with the remote control, lit a cigarette and took a deep breath, with a look of disappointment on his face that could not be concealed - two episodes in a row, both of which are too far from the first season, is it true that there has been a change in the screenwriting team?
He is a novice drama critic who was assigned by his superiors during the winter season to review a number of low-budget small-scale productions throughout the day, including the nightly drama "Shiqi". At that time, he was very dissatisfied, he was stubborn and ready to spray at any time, but he was deeply attracted after only watching one episode, and he immediately transformed into an iron fan of "Shiqi", took the initiative to advocate it in the newspaper, and continuously played a "five-star must-see" on the recommendation of watching the drama, which can be described as high hopes.
And the first season of "Shiqi" did not disappoint him, it did not turn into a meteor and fall, but the collection was wonderful, and finally became a dark horse in the winter file, all the way forward, directly breaking the ratings record of late-night dramas in recent years, which is really gratifying- Except for some idols with poor acting skills, it can almost be called flawless, but he can also understand that after all, the budget is low, and the creator is also very difficult, so he can probably only find that kind of cheap tool person to star, and the critic can't be so conscientious that he will hold on to it because of this little problem, and spray endlessly.
He didn't mention these idols at the time, which can be regarded as a love for the show "Shiqi", because ...... In good conscience, it's really good-looking!
Later, he heard some rumors that there was a factional struggle within Tokyo Broadcasting TEB, and the producer and main screenwriter of "Shiqi" became cannon fodder and was kicked out of the TV station.
At that time, he was skeptical, feeling unlikely, suspecting that the results of "Shiqi" were too good, and some people were spreading rumors and cursing their peers, but at the end of the first season, the producer was really replaced, and the second season replaced the main creator and screenwriter, and he suddenly couldn't accept it - what kind of plane is Tokyo Broadcasting TEB doing, and it doesn't matter if the producer is replaced, but this show obviously relies on the script to win, why drive away the main creator and screenwriter?
Such a screenwriter, you should be tied to death with a contract at a high price!
However, the internal personnel adjustment of the TV station is not about the critics, they watch the TV series, and they care 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 producer and screenwriter, then they can't say anything, and the police are in charge, but now the situation is ......
From Kameda Kanta's relatively professional point of view, the quality of the second season of "Shiqi" is okay, after all, it is obviously bloody, the theme song and the exquisite shooting have risen a notch compared with the first season, but I am not afraid of not knowing the goods, I am afraid of comparing goods, there is a first season there, and then watching this second season, I always feel that something is missing, almost all short dramas have no room for aftertaste, and they can't be called classics, just like watching the phoenix and then going to see the golden chicken, you can't say that the golden chicken is not beautiful, but how it looks at it is a chicken, or it can't be compared with the phoenix.
After the first episode was over, he didn't say anything radical at the time, and he didn't even mention this drama much in the column, which was considered a chance, after all, drama critics also have to be forced, and they can't be like a shrew who scolds directly when they are dissatisfied, which seems to have no professionalism. Therefore, if the quality picks up, it can be forgiven that there needs to be an adaptation process for the change of the creative team, but the gap between these two consecutive episodes is so big......
Is it okay to scold?
He finished smoking a cigarette there and thought about it for a while, then went to the phone, flipped through the phone book, and called a friend, "Hey, is it too much?" Oh, it's nothing, it's just the last time you drank about the change of the creative team of "Shiqi", who did you listen to?"
"Kyohei, that kid? Thanks, let's have a drink together another day!" Kanta Kameda hung up the phone, flipped through the phone book and called, "Kyohei, do you know the inside story of the change in the creative team of "Shiqi"? It's the TV series that was transferred from the night file to the Friday nine o'clock file...... Oh, listen to your girlfriend, can you help me ask her for details?"
"What? Your girlfriend listened to her sister? What is her sister's phone number...... Okay, thanks...... Bastard, I'm not going to hit her idea, I'm not that kind of person!"
Kameda Kanta was desperate for the complexity of the flow of information in this circle, and scolded and re-dialed the number, and then asked politely, "Sorry to disturb you so late, is it Miss Adachi?"
"Yes, yes, hello, I'm a friend of your sister's boyfriend, that is, a friend of Kyohei-san Takao, a columnist for the "East News Agency", and I took the liberty to call to ask about the change in the creative team of "Shiqi"...... Oh, you're working at the Tokyo Broadcasting Bureau, that's amazing! Your colleague's phone number is handy...... Oh, it's inconvenient, I understand, I understand, so let's do it, can I have a cup of coffee tomorrow at noon, and tell me what you know? No, no...... Please, it's really important to me......"
"Thank you so much!" Kameda Kanta soaked for a while, and the Adachi lady seemed to have a soft personality, so she originally refused, but then she couldn't refuse, so she could only reluctantly agree.
Kameda Kanta hung up the phone and rubbed his hands, a little excited. If you are disappointed, there will definitely be a large number of viewers who are also disappointed, then you can investigate the inside story of the decline in the quality of the series, and the column comments you write will definitely cause a wide and good response, maybe you can take it to the next level!
However, Miss Adachi just now seems to have a good personality and a good voice, so ......
He called his friend again and said, "Yuta, ask you something...... No, it's not the one just now, I just want to ask, Kyohei that kid, no, the venerable Takao-kun, is your girlfriend beautiful?"
"No, how could I possibly hit his girlfriend's idea, I'm not that kind of person, you just tell me how she looks, less nonsense!"
"85 points, pretty good figure...... Okay, I know, I'll invite you to drink when I go back!" Kanta Kameda hung up the phone, and his interest was even higher - my sister has 85 points, how can my sister have an 80 points, so take advantage of "Shiqi" to get a promotion and a salary increase, and it's not bad to find a girlfriend by the way!
The more he thought about it, the happier he became, and even the depression caused by the drop in the quality of his favorite programs disappeared a lot, and he turned around and went to pick out the clothes for tomorrow's date.
............
"It's really not a weasel to be a screenwriter!" Aiko Yamagami was surprised when she looked at the end credits, and asked left and right, "Did he make a mistake? Why is he not allowed to continue to do this show?"
She was very disappointed after watching the first episode last week, and felt that Rin Chihara was sorry for their group of fans, and she didn't even do her job well in order to pick up girls, and she seriously lacked respect for the audience!
At that time, she was going to write an anonymous letter to the TV station to scold the kid, but fortunately Chihara Rin had a brain-dead fan reserve, and before the second year, the holy son was different from ordinary audiences, she would read the end credits - nine out of ten viewers don't watch that thing, and generally change the channel directly or turn off the TV and leave, but in order to respect the creator, she will persist until she even finishes the end credits, and it turned out that the screenwriter's column has changed, and from the past, Chihara Rin has become a large list of names.
At that time, she hurriedly asked two friends to watch it together, but the subtitles were brushed too fast, and they disappeared before they could carefully find out if there was a name of Chihara Rin in it, and finally Yamagami Aiko decided to watch another episode, in case she wrote an anonymous letter and scolded the wrong person in the past, and now she found that there was really no Chihara Rin in it, and it suddenly became strange again.
Nishino Wusha shook his head and said: "How do we know, that's an internal matter of the TV station, and I think it's not necessarily clear even if it's within the TV station, there must be rumors flying all over the place, and there are eight gossips a day, who has the leisure time to investigate carefully one by one! 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, you don't have this kind of curiosity." ”
She was afraid that her brainless companion would get into trouble, but Aiko Yamagami sighed, "Yes, but I still want to know why......"
She suspected that there might be some peachy scandal in it, such as Rin Chihara messing with actresses in the crew, which caused public outrage, so she was driven away, but she had no evidence and didn't dare to talk nonsense directly - she had a very bad impression of Rin Chihara, and almost every time she met him, she saw him entangled with women, suspected of being a super playboy, which is by no means a good thing.
Second, the Holy Son was also very worried about Chihara Rinren, and after making up for it, there was a career setback, heartbroken, sitting alone under the lantern of the night stall drinking alcohol, a melancholy mess!
She sighed lowly: "He obviously put a lot of effort into this show, and he can't do it after only one season, it's really a pity, he must be very uncomfortable now, right?"
After a pause, she looked at the TV again and asked her two good friends, "Will we still follow this drama in the future?"
Nishino Kimisa doesn't matter, she thinks the second season is not a bad movie, if there is no first season of Zhuyu in front, then this TV series is quite good, but now it looks a little like chewing wax, mainly because it did not meet the previous sense of expectation.
She is considered a neutral audience, and smiled directly: "I look at you, if you want to continue chasing the drama, let's chase it, it doesn't matter if you don't chase it, I'll do it casually." ”
Aiko Yamagami is a simple-minded audience, her love and hate are very clear, and she is very decisive in her disappointment: "I don't chase it anymore, it's not as good as before, and the more I watch it, the worse it gets, so what else do I watch? I didn't come to watch TV series to be angry!"
The second saint son hesitated for a while, and sighed: "I won't chase it anymore, it's a pity that it's such a good theme...... If only Chihara-sensei could continue to do it. ”
She thinks that at the current quality, she can take a look at it when she encounters it, but it doesn't seem necessary to wait to see it, let alone three people get together and wait to watch it - she is a fan-oriented audience, watching people pick works, changing creators, she is more disappointed than her two friends, and she can't lift her spirits, even if she thinks the quality of this show is okay.
However, she admired Chihara Rin even more because of this, she didn't expect a screenwriter to have such a big impact on a show, probably the difference between geniuses shaping classics and ordinary people making shows!
She was fascinated for a while, fantasizing about becoming the kind of person that Rin Chihara would be in the future, others would not only notice her beautiful face and big breasts and big ass, but would pay more attention to her inner talent, and after a while, she would like to watch the show produced by Rin Chihara even more......
She got up and went to look for the newspaper, the home entertainment section has the TV program broadcast schedule, and there is also a brief introduction to each program, which may mention the creative staff, and at the same time said: "Maybe Chihara-sensei is not suspended, but transferred to another program group, let's look for it, maybe we can find his new program!"
When Yamagami Aiko heard this, she felt that it made sense, and immediately got up: "That guy's character is not good, but he still has talent, if there is a new show, it may be good!"
Nishino Kimisa is also interested, several short dramas produced by Rin Chihara last season have been included in her long-term collection, and she specially bought a videotape for long-term preservation, so such a person has a new show, and it is indeed worth looking forward to.
Soon, the newspapers of the last two weeks were moved, and the three of them began to study around the newspaper to study where the weasel teacher Rin Chihara had gone.
