Chapter 46: How about buying a typewriter first?
In this world, the record holder for the average ratings of nightly dramas is called "Silver X Night Love", which is the only nighttime drama that has entered the main battlefield of the five major TV stations after the popularization of television, but there is a reason for this.
This drama was originally broadcast secretly in the middle of the night, and it was okay that the mainstream audience didn't notice it, but this thing seems to attract some special people, and soon accumulated a group of "loyal fans", and under word of mouth, it actually pushed the show onto the hit list, and then it was discovered by the Ethics Committee and the Adolescent Health Committee, and it was directly arrested as a typical example, and was beaten to death with a stick.
The creative team was collectively punished, and the producer publicly knelt down to apologize, and apologized in public for spreading bad information to the wrong people, and that's it, paint was splashed outside the door, slogans were pasted, and death threats were received, and finally he resigned directly, and now no one can find it.
Public TV stations, production bureaus and producers were frightened, and since then they have been honest, even in the middle of the night, they don't dare to die again, although late-night dramas or late-night variety shows are still very H and very undisciplined, but at most expose half of the P shares and a Naiko, no matter how much you don't dare - public TV stations have certain social obligations and responsibilities, and the nature of private cable TV stations is different, the latter has a small scope of influence, and minors are not allowed to open it, but they can engage in adult programs.
This incident caused a wide range of heated discussions in the society at the time, otherwise it would not have attracted the attention of the official, and finally beat people in person, and "Silver X Night Love" has also become the swan song of late-night dramas in recent years - no matter how far away the data is, it is too outrageous, at that time, there were few TV stations, and there were few programs, or manual statistics, and the highest average rating of 92% was up, so it was also a record, and the people behind it had no way to mix.
Now, a deep drama can almost be said to have entered the hit list again without any warning, even if it is only hanging in the last place, it may fall again at any time, which still reminds some people of the hot discussion a few years ago - what special H and strange content did you do to seduce so many people to watch the drama in the middle of the night?
Public opinion was silent for a while, and I was busy looking through past drama reviews, looking for video supplements for the show, and studying this popular night drama.
At the production meeting, Iori Murakami was also very excited and a little radiant: "The compilation committee agreed to increase our budget by another 30%, but asked us to at least stabilize the current results. ”
This is good news, especially for the director, Arima Fujii can't help but laugh and say, "It's a blessing that they're not completely blind yet." ”
Rin Chihara smiled and nodded, agreeing, feeling that this was the formation committee finally beginning to face them squarely, adding a little ammunition, and letting them fire two cannons in the direction of the main battlefield while standing guard in the high mountains, which was some kind of fire support.
The three of them talked privately behind closed doors, scolding their bosses It doesn't matter, Iori Murakami didn't care, and said excitedly: "There is also good news, Dongri Group contacted me and was willing to pay to sponsor the shooting." ”
At first, Iori Murakami took the initiative to contact her, but the Propaganda Department of the Tohnichi Group didn't bird her, and now it probably looks like the situation is not the same as expected, and she took the initiative to find Iori Murakami again. With good results, good things will automatically line up, and she completely feels the joy of being a producer, and she has lost the hard work before.
Money is a good thing, Fujii Arima was scared, and hurriedly asked, "How much are they willing to pay?"
"It's normal to ask for the title of the title of the opening credits and a picture of their headquarters building, for which they plan to pay 8 million yen!" Iori Murakami, who is also poor, is happy about the windfall: "The compilation committee has agreed that all the money will be used to supplement the filming funds." ”
"Good news, indeed, but can't it be more? Do they want an end credit?"
"I didn't mention it, I'll go back and sell it. ”
"Yes, I have to sell it, I can work overtime to take a sample first, and I can change it a few times later, and it's no problem to shoot exactly what they want. "Arima Fujii is quite enthusiastic about getting more shooting funds, and this money is mainly spent on him, and the more the better—the screenwriter can use a box of pens for a year, and it won't cost a few dollars.
"Then how to use this part of the unexpected funds?" Murakami Iori fattened a little, and planned to share the benefits with his subordinates: "In addition to supplementing the shooting funds, do you want to raise the grade of the bento and give another bonus?"
Fujii Arima is not very happy, of course it is good to get more money, but he wants to be a famous director, and the opportunity in front of him is just right, so he immediately suggested euphemistically: "The bento is already good, as long as you can eat enough, the bonus can be appropriately paid, but don't send too much, otherwise you won't have to send it in the future, and those people will be even more unhappy." ”
The implication is that it's better for us to use this money to continue to improve the beauty of the series.
Murakami Iori was a little undecided, she felt that the staff was also working hard for a while, and her unwillingness to be the leader was inappropriate, so she couldn't help but turn to Chihara Rin and asked, "Chihara, what do you think?"
"It's okay to improve the quality of the bento, and the bonus is really not too much, and it's better to have a long stream. Chihara Rin shook his hand, and then smiled: "That, if you have extra funds...... I want to buy a computer. ”
At this time, computers have not yet been reduced to household appliances, the price is relatively expensive, and even typing is considered a professional skill, Murakami Iori and Fujii Arima were shocked, and asked in unison: "What do you want a computer for?"
"Write the script. ”
Iori Murakami and Arima Fujii looked at each other, wondering which nerve he was pumping again—can't you write by hand? Now all screenwriters write by hand, why are you so special?
They weren't very happy, they felt that the thing was expensive and useless, and it was a waste of money to buy it, but Rin Chihara made a huge contribution to the show, and it was not an exaggeration to say that one of them was not an exaggeration, so it didn't seem appropriate to refuse his request.
Iori Murakami hesitated for a moment, then tentatively asked, "How about buying a typewriter first?"
Rin Chihara immediately shook his head, he actually wanted to go online, but he couldn't explain it to these two people, and said: "I think that is helpful for writing the script, if you think it's not suitable, then I'll save the money and buy it myself." ”
He also wanted to take the opportunity to get a computer, and he now has about 200,000 yen of idle funds on hand, and he has to deal with various daily living expenses and accidents, and he can't afford it in a short time.
No, no, after all, it is public funds, it is good to be able to eat and drink, and it can't be too demanding.
He was still a bit disciplined and had no problem with being rejected, while Iori Murakami was even more hesitant. She is not blind, naturally knows that Chihara Rin's economic situation is very embarrassing, I have known him for more than a month, this guy is wearing a three-piece suit and dangling, at first she thought that this guy had a writer's strange problem, the same suit was made of seven sets, and then after a careful look for two days, it turned out that this guy should have no other formal clothes to change, probably can only wear such a one.
Although this guy has always been very clean, he has obviously just stepped into society, and his family conditions are not very good, and his money is very tight, and it is a little difficult to even buy another suit.
She thought about it for less than five seconds before she felt that she should help, even if Rin Chihara took hundreds of thousands of yen to buy a big toy, it would be a bonus according to his contribution. She said to Arima Fujii, "Since Chihara thinks it's helpful for writing, there's no need to save this money, so let's buy it......"
What else could Fujii Arima say, he could only nod: "Okay!"
Strictly speaking, he uses more, but he uses it to improve shooting, no one can find any fault, in fact, he can completely oppose waste, but now the screenwriter has contributed so much, he has to buy a big toy to let him buy it, and it is impossible for someone of his character to ask for this and that every day.
After the production meeting is over, everyone in the crew can eat better in the future, and according to the different identities and status in the crew, they will get a bonus of varying amounts, and Rin Chihara is confused with a computer, but it can't be bought for the time being, and the money hasn't reached the crew's account yet!
He is full of interest in this computer, although he wants a smart phone more, but this is not nothing, according to the information he collected, now the concept of smart phones is only proposed, belonging to the future technology, many people look at it and shake their heads, thinking that it is impossible.
He stopped watching the shooting, and went back to the headquarters to read the advertisements for computers in the newspapers, and then continued to write his script, ready to do some research, get a better computer, and go back to the "ancient" version of the Internet.
And the next day, the mainstream media finally reacted.
This night drama is a bit interesting!
You can't say it's a divine drama, because it's not difficult to shoot, but the idea is very good, and the quality of the short drama script is even more reliable, four episodes in a row, and the episodes are wonderful, it's like a thousand selections.
What was Tokyo Broadcasting TEB thinking, and why was it put in the night hours?
Is it stupid?
