"This script is very ......" Iori Murakami read it carefully, this script does not say that the story is novel and the originality is high, that is, only from the perspective of writing specifications, it is also professional, obviously a lot of effort, she really can't find any problems, she can only tell the truth: "It's interesting, it's good, it's a pity it's too short." ”

Japanese dramas are generally divided into four seasons: spring, summer, autumn and winter, one season in three months, about 12 episodes in a season, that is, one episode a week, broadcast while filming, and this small script provided by Rin Chihara no matter how it is expanded, probably can't fill up to 700 minutes of broadcast content, and if it is really filmed, it can only be regarded as a student work.

The teacher should give a high score, which shows that Chihara Rin is a good seedling, although Iori Murakami is not ready to use his script, but he also has a love for talent, and is ready to recommend him to be a screenwriter's assistant - help him today, and it doesn't take much effort, maybe ten or twenty years later, this is a good connection, and it feels very cost-effective.

Before she could figure out how to persuade her, Rin Chihara had already taken out a few stacks of paper from her briefcase: "This is a series, each episode is composed of two or three short dramas like this, it is a multi-element unit drama, I plan to call it "World Wonderful Story", this is the overall planning description, these are two similar short stories......"

He copied the original world's "Wonderful Story of the World", and he didn't even change his name, which is the last time to respect intellectual property rights, but he took a lot of classic stories in the season, after all, it's better to play as many times as you can in the first shot.

"Oh?" Iori Murakami glanced at Rin Chihara with some surprise, the plan was very comprehensive, I didn't expect it!

Only then did she really pay attention to it, and for the first time, she took a serious look at the person of Chihara Rinto.

With short black hair, he looks a little messy, his complexion is pale, his appearance is delicate, and he is slightly decadent overall, but he sits there with his waist straight, as if he has not changed from the beginning, as if he can sit like this until he is old - it gives people the feeling that willpower wants to be tough, and if you let a yellow-haired gangster sit like this, he will last for five minutes at most and then lie on his stomach.

Standing like a pine, sitting like a clock, it's not as simple as talking, without a good self-awareness and tenacious nature, most people will succumb to their own desires, try to be crooked, oblique.

And this young man's eyes are very attractive, they all say that the eyes are the window of the soul, then through the eyes of this man can see the word "concentration", when he looks at people, it seems that all his attention is on you, there is a slight sense of oppression, but his expression is very calm, as if he himself does not have the meaning of anything in particular.

In short, this manhood is very special, to exaggerate, there is a legendary gentleman's style - gentle as jade, but the sword is hidden in the box.

Iori Murakami looked at him twice, and was slightly impressed, took the papers, and looked at them more seriously-Is it positioned as a night drama? Is this feasible?

Rin Chihara finally began to lobby: "Miss Murakami plans to become a producer, especially if she doesn't have enough qualifications, she will face a lot of competition, right?"

"Yes. "There's a good opportunity, she wants to give it a try, and naturally others want to give it a try, and thinking on her heels knows that there are a lot of people who will join the competition.

"It's hard to get prime time, right?"

Iori Murakami nodded silently while watching, this is the truth, no problem - the TV station broadcasts programs are also divided into time periods, such as the morning drama theater specializing in housewives, which is generally placed at seven to nine o'clock in the morning, during this period the housewives have just sent their husbands and children out, and the time is relatively leisurely;

Like the cartoon animation, it is generally placed at four to six o'clock in the afternoon, when the children just come home from school, and the evening theater and popular variety shows are generally placed at eight to ten o'clock, when most adults get off work, it is time to rest and relax.

The ratings of these time slots are generally good, and the quality of the program is also related to the reputation of the TV station, so it is indeed unlikely to be handed over to newcomers to practice.

Chihara Rin saw Murakami Iori nodding in approval, and his voice became more sincere, "So I think this project is suitable for Miss Murakami, and it can also help Miss Murakami - the late night time is not taken seriously now, if Miss Murakami applies for such a time slot, the compilation committee will not care much, and there is a high probability that you will try it, right?"

Iori Murakami has already read it roughly, and found that the project is exciting, and the other two short stories provided by Rin Chihara are equally interesting, if they can be filmed and shot well, it should be quite attractive, and his words are also very reasonable.

She was silent for a while, closed the script but didn't return it to Rin Chihara, and hesitated under her hand, "But the audience for the night time is ......"

The definition of night time is different for each TV station, generally refers to the time between 23 o'clock and 5 o'clock in the morning, and most normal people during this time period are asleep, not much watch TV, and it is not popular to stay up late in the 90s.

Now TV stations really don't pay attention to this time period, and generally put low-cost horror movies to fill the number, or simply plug in TV shopping programs, after all, the ratings are only 0.04% when they are bad, which is simply not worth mentioning - there is no Internet to steal the limelight in this era, the passing line required for prime-time TV dramas is 15%, and the national hot dramas can reach about 40%, which is too bad.

That's a good application, but what's the use of applying without an audience? It's a mud pit, and it's easy to get in and out.

In television, ratings are the only thing that can make the producer speak loudly, and it is also the sword of Damocles hanging over the producer's head. She was afraid that she would fail the first time she was a producer, and she would not get good grades, and the upper echelons would directly lose confidence in her and no longer give her a chance, and she would become a lifelong miscellaneous girl.

Rin Chihara understood her concerns and said seriously, "I understand what Miss Murakami meant, but times are changing—have you ever heard of the lipstick effect?"

Murakami Iori shook her head slowly, she has not been baptized by the Internet, she has not been affected by the information explosion era, and she doesn't know much about unpopular knowledge.

"The lipstick effect refers to an interesting economic phenomenon that causes lipstick to sell well due to the economic depression, also known as the phenomenon of preference for low-priced luxury goods. In the United States, whenever the economy is in a recession, the sales of lipstick will grow explosively, because people think that lipstick is a low-priced luxury, and in the case of economic downturn, people have limited funds for consumption, but the desire to consume cannot disappear, so they can only buy such cheap luxury goods to meet psychological needs and comfort themselves. ”

Iori Murakami listened very carefully, before the explosion of information, to obtain relatively professional knowledge, you either had to find a teacher or go to the library or bookstore, it was very difficult to satisfy the desire for knowledge, and the opportunity was easy not to let go.

Rin Chihara continued: "Now that the Great Depression has also entered the Great Depression, people's incomes and expectations for the future have been greatly reduced, and at this time, those non-essential expenses will be cut first, and entertainment will be the first to bear the brunt, but people still have a demand for entertainment, so they can't travel overseas, can't go to bars and nights frequently, so what is the cheapest entertainment for these people?"

Murakami Iori groaned slightly: "Watching TV at home?"

"Yes, the Great Depression made the TV industry more prosperous, and the longer it lasted, the longer the lipstick effect would last, and the more TV viewers would stay in front of the TV. Miss Murakami should feel this way when she works at a TV station, right? I guess it's wrong that the average ratings of the whole time slot are increasing year by year?"

Iori Murakami was a little convinced, this is indeed a fact, but no one has yet explained that it is as novel as Rin Chihara. She nodded slightly: "Yes, but there are only a few important prime time periods that have increased significantly, and late-night dramas are still ......"

"That's the late-night drama that is not worth watching now, and it can't retain the audience, as long as we can make a good drama, we can create miracles!" Rin Chihara's words were sonorous, sound, and full of temptation: "This is a good opportunity, Miss Murakami, I have confidence in the plan and the script!"

Of course, he is confident that "World Wonderful Story" was originally called "World Wonderful Night", and was originally only going to shoot one season to fill the late-night blank period, but it was unexpectedly widely acclaimed, and achieved 20+% ratings in the late-night period, which attracted the attention of the TV station to the late-night period, and it was no longer perfunctory, and then the response of the show became better and better, and it simply moved to prime time, and began the filming process of two to three seasons a year, and took 37.4% of the effective ratings at the highest time- This is also the reason why Rin Chihara chose this drama.

But he can't tell Murakami Iori about this, he can only see if she is willing to gamble once, after all, whether she believes that this script can make a good drama, it depends on her own judgment, and it is useless for others to guarantee it.

Of course, it's stupid to pin his hopes on others, but he has to find a producer like Iori Uemura, because the crew is also divided into many types, such as the director is in charge of the crew, which mostly appears in film shooting and animation production, and the director (supervisor) is the most responsible for the performance of the work;

Another example is the writer's screenwriter general responsibility system, which is used in South Korea to make TV dramas, and the Chinese Qiong Yao series also uses this model.

Under the production bureau system of this TV station, the producer is generally responsible for the system. The producer is responsible for submitting the plan, assembling the crew, and is responsible for almost everything except the creation, but also for the final result - in this model, the producer represents the investor, is also the financial supervisor and chief producer of the crew, and is the most critical person in driving the production of a program.

If Rin Chihara doesn't find a producer like Iori Murakami, there is no way to promote the shooting of the script under the production bureau system, and no matter how good the script is, it is waste paper.

He could only wait for Iori Murakami to make his own decision, and Iori Murakami still didn't give him back the script, just tapping lightly, and his heart was entangled.

It makes sense, the theory seems to be correct, the prospect is very attractive, it's a good plan, it's feasible, and more importantly, it's almost like it's tailor-made for a new producer like yourself - low investment, little competition, easy to pass, good shooting, and the quality of the script is really good, but to take the risk or to stabilize according to your original plan?

It's a question worth pondering when it comes to career prospects......
