What is the most fundamental thing about making a TV series?

Not the script, not the director, not the actors, but the camera. Without professional photography equipment such as cameras, no matter how good the script, no matter how good the director, no matter how popular the actors, it is all for nothing!

Therefore, in the crew, the camera is treated specially, with a certain "sacred" attribute, used and maintained by special personnel, and even the box with lens filters is specially carried, and there are many gods chattering about it.

For example, at this time, there are basically no female videographers, and there are even no female camera assistants, because it is said that women are heavy and easy to be psychic, and the camera has a certain "soul-sucking" characteristic, and the camera that a woman touches is easy to shoot something that should not be filmed, such as the director's assistant Tsumura Haruki told a story to Chihara Rin - When filming a horror movie, there was nothing unusual when filming, but an actor's wife who came to visit the class sat in a box with a camera, and after the film was completed, a woman in white appeared in an inconspicuous corner of the picture, and from time to time gave a miserable smile to the camera.

At that time, the crew was collectively scared, and hurriedly went back to the set to beg for mercy, and invited a monk to hold a transcendence ceremony, which can be regarded as solving this difficulty.

For example, if a character played by an actor dies in the play, or dies quite miserably, or if his spiritual position appears, then he can also get a small envelope in addition to his salary, which will contain a little money, and the actor will send this money to the shrine, which is said to prevent the actor's guardian spirit from resenting the camera and getting into it to cause damage.

For another example, due to the characteristics of the camera itself of "soul sucking + recording images", it is easy to provoke inexplicable "spirits" to station, resulting in the failure of the machine during shooting, taking the tape and scribing, etc., which may seriously affect the shooting progress.

In short, in the eyes of Chihara Rinren, it is all some unobtrusive feudal superstitions, almost urban legends, and he thinks that the people in the crew may not all believe in this set, but it is very wonderful that no one dares to ignore it, they are all very serious, and it is estimated that they are not afraid of 10,000 in case - if they don't treat the camera well this time and are remembered by others, then all kinds of shooting accidents will be pointed out by Qianfu when the next season of filming starts.

Even Iori Murakami, a highly educated female elite who graduated from a school, did not dare to ignore it, and stood directly far away, with an extremely serious expression - now that I think about it, she never approached the camera during the whole filming process, probably because she was a woman.

The shutdown ceremony was co-hosted by the director and cameraman Arima Fujii, and under the solemn onlookers of everyone, they took a group of camera assistants to bow to the camera and talk to them - these three months have been hard, then you have a good rest when the camera is turned off, and after another week and a half months, I will ask you to work hard again, so that we can finish filming safely next season.

A total of four cameras, a group of them surrounded and comforted carefully for a long time, more concerned than coaxing his wife, then the cameraman turned off, Fujii Arima held a white twine rope with rune paper symbolically tied a circle, which is a kind of seal or enchantment, so as not to have a holiday in the studio, there are not many people in the studio, and there are wandering "spirits" who look at this thing and get in.

The whole process is similar to the boot ceremony, very nonsensical, Rin Chihara accepts Tsumura Haruki's "popular science" while trying to maintain his super serious expression - you can believe it or not, but you must not show an expression of disattention, otherwise it will be difficult to turn around Fujii Arima to protest.

But he really doesn't pay attention to it in his heart,Now the TV can't accept the high-definition signal,The post-processing time can't be too long in order to catch up with the construction period,At present, the TV program is in a state of slag picture quality,The performance of these four cameras is not as good as the ordinary SLR cameras for civilian use in the future,But now I enjoy the treatment of living ancestors in the crew,It's really a little speechless。

He dared to guarantee that if the studio caught fire, the first to be rescued were definitely these four cameras, and the actors, who were tools, had to flee for their lives.

But anyway, with the shutdown ceremony completed, the filming of the first season of "Wonderful World Story" is officially over, and Iori Murakami and all the members of the creative team bowed to the working group again, thanking them for their hard work in the past three months, and directly announced the holiday - the work at the beginning of the second season is basically completed by the creative team, and the working group can take turns to take a break for more than a week, go on an appointment, accompany his wife and girlfriend, or sleep peacefully, which can be regarded as compensation for the previous three months of continuous overtime.

And Murakami Iori also agreed with everyone in the working group to have dinner together tomorrow night, which can be regarded as a condolence party + celebration banquet together, after all, the eleventh episode of "Shiqi" will be broadcast tonight, and I think I will definitely be able to break the record, so I won't do it twice.

The employees of the working group are also full of interest in breaking the record, and they are looking forward to it, and they will also take a good look at the program they have worked tonight, and they will be happy. Of course, the more important reason for being so happy is that although the three months are hard, the money is not less, and there are additional bonuses for the big and small salaries, and the next season can also be moved to prime time, so the budget of the crew will be more sufficient, and their income will be increased accordingly.

In TV stations, as long as the ratings are good, you can't be happy or not.

These people happily dispersed, just waiting for tomorrow to have a good time, relaxed and relaxed, leaving only a few staff on duty to guard Studio 17, by the way to do some simple repair work.

That night, the eleventh episode of "Wonderful Things of the World" was broadcast on time, and this time Rin Chihara watched it, which was regarded as celebrating his first "Ichiban", congratulating himself on being able to gain a foothold in this strange world and strange country, and the next morning, the ratings report also told him that he was not wrong to celebrate.

No surprises, the response was still excellent, they managed to break the 17.1% average highest rating record for late-night dramas, reaching 17.32%, and they even had one more episode to set a higher record - nothing more enjoyable than setting a record that made latecomers cry and make their faces sick!

It's really not easy, though.

Rin Chihara selected the script, made all the crooked moves, and racked his brains to deceive the audience to watch;

Arima Fujii worked overtime continuously, trying his best to cover up the shortcomings of his idol's lack of acting skills, forcing the working group and actors to strive for excellence, ensuring that the quality of the filming of the series was at least above the level;

Iori Murakami provided all the logistical support that the two comrades in charge of the creation could provide, did not let them do any minor work, tried their best to seize resources in the production bureau, tried their best to bear all kinds of pressure, and the whole person was swollen and swollen, and the swelling and swelling were reduced and swollen, and three months seemed to be three years old.

But all this hard work was worth it after breaking the record.

Murakami Iori took the ratings report and looked at it repeatedly, but he didn't have the ecstatic posture that Chihara Rin imagined, but his eyes were red, and he kept rubbing the line of 17.32% with his fingers, and Fujii Arima laughed three times, and was stunned again, suddenly sighed, I don't know what I remembered, and then my spirit was uplifted, and I smiled: "Finally...... It's over, I'm going to have a drink tonight, these three months feel like a year of energy has been used up. ”

Murakami Iori touched her face and nodded with deep feeling: "Yes, I really want to have a drink." ”

Rin Chihara was still looking at the data, studying whether it could reach 20%, and who else could be stabbed in the ass, and when he heard about it, he hesitated, feeling that Murakami Iori was just nominally their boss, and in fact they had always treated each other as equals, so it didn't seem appropriate to celebrate and only let her pay for it herself, so he interjected: "Miss Murakami, do you want to ...... the money for the celebration?"

He meant that he wanted to share it evenly, even if he didn't have a lot of money on hand now, he didn't want to be too stingy about this kind of thing, after all, he was also enjoying the respectable treatment of the creative team here, but Murakami Iori couldn't help but laugh, blinked, and said with something in his words: "It's okay, the people from the agency will come to participate together." ”

It turned out to be wool, Chihara Rin understood, but immediately became vigilant: "There won't be any problems, right?" At present, the prospects of the crew are very good, but don't get into trouble in order to save money for food, and be caught by the production bureau for offering and accepting bribes - in this regard, the "Broadcasting Law" has regulations, from the staff of TV stations not being allowed to hold shares in the brokerage company, to the value of accepting gifts from the brokerage company, there are hard requirements, so that actors can compete fairly in the performance.

Of course, real fairness is to fool children, and ghosts don't believe it, but if there are regulations, it is possible to be found faulty, and it is necessary to prevent it.

Murakami Iori hasn't been in this circle for a day or two, she has never eaten pork and seen pigs walking, and there are no outsiders here, she smiled directly: "No, they will pay for drinks in private, and the restaurant is ostensibly giving us a discount, we don't know anything, and no one can say anything...... This is a convention, everyone knows it, no one will say anything in the first place, Chihara don't worry. ”

Chihara Rin nodded, feeling that he had learned another trick, and there were really a lot of crooked ways in this line of work - he went to the drink, but the cooking fee was not much, and he didn't put much pressure on Murakami Iori, and he didn't say anything more about this problem.

Then, they dispersed to continue to complete their work, and at five o'clock in the afternoon, Chihara Rin was still speculating why his unlucky apprentice didn't come, so Murakami Iori got a car and dragged him, Fujii, Yoshizaki and others to a high-grade restaurant to have a celebration banquet.

Relax and have a drink to round off the season!
