Chapter 10 Temporary Workers~

Iori Murakami wore a beige trench coat today, but with thick shoulder pads - if it weren't for the height of only 1.6 meters, it should feel quite fierce.

She and Chihara Rin said a few polite words, then led him inside, and said with a smile as she walked: "There are two main things today, one is to sign the contract, and the other is to meet with Director Fujii and get to know each other, what do you think?"

She has already found a director, and the production bureau system of this book is good at this, once the program plan is approved, it is very convenient to find people and things, at least the people under the production bureau are barely colleagues, the degree of mutual trust is a little higher, and there is also a potential tacit understanding formed by long-term work together, so there is no need to bargain so troublesomely.

After listening to this, Rin Chihara didn't care much about the contract, but more about who the director was - most of the time, the producer, director and screenwriter, these are the key people who determine the quality of a drama, followed by the actors.

He asked with great interest, "What works has this director Fujii made before, and what are the ratings?"

Murakami Iori pondered for a moment and said euphemistically: "I filmed a morning drama before, but you may not have heard the name, it seems that the premiere is not ideal, and there are some problems with the plot connection in the middle, so I didn't help it ......up in the end."

Chihara Rin nodded clearly, which means that the first work knelt, the ratings of the premiere were very poor, and the ratings may have declined even more after working hard, and finally cut things in half, and the filming was not finished at all, and he didn't even enter the video tape market, which was basically a blood loss to his grandmother's house.

In other words, he is a street director, and his works are forced to be eunuchs.

While thinking, he continued to listen to Iori Murakami, "But I heard that it's not his problem, it's that the selection of materials and the script are not quite right, and he still has real learning, especially the scheduling ability on the set is very good." After his first work did not perform well, he was arranged by the station to shoot a TV shopping commercial for two years, this time I submitted a plan, and the compilation committee recommended him, I called you yesterday to talk to him, and it felt good, but he proposed to meet you before deciding. ”

"Well, that's fine. Chihara Rin nodded again and again, anyway, the difficulty of filming "Wonderful Things of the World" is very low, as long as the director is professional, he doesn't require much talent, he has no opinion.

However, this rookie producer + rookie screenwriter + street director, it is obvious that Tokyo Broadcasting TEB does not have high expectations for the program, probably it is true that there are many channels, and the program is temporarily in short supply, so I only plan to fill in the time period, which is similar to the situation in the original world.

As they spoke, they entered the door, and Iori Murakami helped Rin Chihara to register the book, and Rin Chihara happened to say hello to Kenichiro Maekawa, who was on duty, and finally stepped into the courtyard of Tokyo Broadcasting TEB for the first time.

Iori Murakami looked like a tour guide and pointed out the locations of the various units of the Tokyo Broadcasting Headquarters, such as where the legal department was, where the personnel department was, where the radio station was, etc., and after walking a few steps, Rin Chihara noticed that there was a group of people standing there in the corner of the compound and bowing, and couldn't help but ask Iori Murakami, "What are those people doing?"

It feels like a memorial service, has anyone died of overwork?

Murakami Iori glanced in the direction he was pointing, and said in surprise, "It's a namaste." ”

"What do you mean?" Rin Chihara didn't understand.

"It's half past eight, and the people from the Audit and Supervision Department will visit Tokyo Tower before the shift change, praying that there will be no broadcast accidents today. ”

The main job of the audit and supervision department is the literal meaning, responsible for reviewing the content of the broadcast is not in line with the laws and regulations of the law and Tianjin, and morality, but many TV programs are broadcast live, and there is no way to review them in advance, so the main job of these people is to stare at the TV program, find out what is wrong, and quickly cut off the source of information and replace it with advertising stop loss, so as not to cause a more severe impact.

If a bad program is found but not stopped, and a serious broadcast accident occurs, these people will also be held responsible, and in some cases it is difficult to judge whether there is a broadcast accident.

For example, the baseball game is too intense, the three hours have not been played, and it has been overtimed, whether it should directly cut off the signal and broadcast the next program according to the program schedule, it is also up to this department to judge - if the fans are not allowed to watch the game, the fans will really write letters to scold, and the audience who is waiting to watch the next program will not wait, and nine times out of ten they will be extremely angry, and they will write to ask the TV station if they are playing with the audience's feelings, so this job is not so easy on the surface.

This department is nicknamed the backstabbing man, more afraid of broadcast accidents than everyone else, and most hopes that the show can be broadcast smoothly on schedule, which is understandable, but such blatant feudal superstitious activities seem to be not a day or two, it is like a tradition, this is ......

It is really a magical place, and feudal superstition can also be produced in a new-age organization like a TV station, which is a bit powerful!

Rin Chihara felt that it was an eye-opener and a novelty, but for Iori Murakami, this was something that could be seen every day, and it was not unusual, and she continued to walk towards the main building while introducing him to the environment - she wanted to have a good relationship with Rin Chihara, after all, they had to work together for at least three or four months.

Soon, she brought Rin Chihara to the legal department.

It's just like an ordinary company, it's a large cubicle, and nearly 100 people are busy working in the cubicle. Iori Murakami placed Rin Chihara in a lattice reception room, and then went to invite two men in suits from the Ministry of Justice to come back.

The two men in suits, one tall and one short, were very enthusiastic, and sat face to face with Rin Chihara, and after a few words of greeting, one of them handed him a contract, and said very politely: "Mr. Chihara, this is your contract, please take a look." ”

Rin Chihara took it and took a closer look, and found that the salary conditions that Iori Murakami had fought for him were better than expected.

The signing fee is 300,000 yen, and the four-month temporary employment period will end from today until the beginning of April next year, and a fixed salary of 225,000 yen per month - this is very good, and college students who have just left school currently earn about 180,000 yen a month in Tokyo.

In addition, it was also agreed that the copyright and derivative rights of all his works during this period would be owned by Tokyo Broadcasting TEB, but he could enjoy 2% of the copyright income.

This is also a feature of the production bureau system.

Take the filming of TV series as an example, this TV series is generally invested and filmed by TV stations, and the proportion of foreign funds is very small, so TV stations naturally have to account for the majority of copyright income, generally ranging from 70~90%, and the remaining 10~30% are all distributed to the people in the creative team of the crew, that is, producers, directors, assistant directors, chief creative screenwriters, episode screenwriters, leading actors, actors (heavy supporting roles), composers, special effects artists, editors and other post-creative personnel.

Everyone's share is uncertain, depending on the qualifications and contributions, and the situation is different for different films, which can be regarded as encouraging everyone to work hard and strive to make big-selling works, and the prize money is the same nature.

As for ordinary staff, such as assistant directors, screenwriters' assistants, scene notes, videographers (master craftsmen may enter the creative team), sound engineers, props masters, costume designers, miscellaneous brothers and sisters, etc., this kind of working group receives a fixed salary and goes from the crew's filming budget, and does not involve copyright sharing.

2% doesn't seem like much, but it can't be said to be less, like the film is finished, Tokyo Broadcasting TEB broadcasts it itself, of course, it doesn't give money, but it is sold to local TV stations or overseas TV stations on the same network to collect money, generally 5~100,000 yen per episode, and there is 2% of Chihara Rin people - counting 50,000 episodes, every episode broadcast, he will have an income of 1,000 yen, and after a season is broadcast, it will be 12,000 yen, and the thirty or forty local TV stations will broadcast a circle, which is the income of 450,000 yen.

If the ratings of the premiere are particularly good, it is normal to sell an episode of 200,000 or 300,000 yen, and the 2% copyright income will be several times higher at that time.

Of course, TV dramas are hot for the current season, and the number of broadcasts will be greatly reduced in the future, but it is still a trickle of income - this is protected by copyright law for 25 years.

In addition, you can also release CDs and videotapes, whether it is rented or sold, and the copyright money earned has 2% of him.

Even if it is completely popular, out of all kinds of peripherals, everything that involves copyright, there is still 2% of him, but this situation is very rare.

After a cursory look, Rin Chihara felt more satisfied. He is not famous now, as a newcomer, it would be good to get this kind of contract, it is estimated that he is catching up with the new satellite channel, the number of screenwriters is also insufficient, and he seems to be a little level, so the compilation committee let him, an outsider, give it a try under the recommendation of Iori Murakami.

As for the exclusive copyright, don't dream, the TV station doesn't invest money or give broadcast channels, no matter how good the script is, it's waste paper and worthless.

But the only bad thing about this contract is that this contract was not signed with Tokyo Broadcasting TEB, but with a production company called "Enomaru", that is, he was temporarily hired by "Enomaru Production Company", and then sent to Tokyo Broadcasting TEB headquarters to work as the main creator and screenwriter of "World Wonderful Story".

Actually, it's a temporary worker, but I still haven't bypassed the production company after going around in a circle......

But it's okay, you can't ask too much at first, Chihara Rin looked around and didn't find any big problems, and was just about to sign, next to Murakami Iori had already asked: "This is a standard contract, is there any problem, Chihara-san?"

She noticed that Chihara Rin was looking at the name of "Enomaru", and reminded him that the temporary contracts were all like this, not against him alone, and this was already the best condition she could get for Chihara Rin - Tokyo Broadcasting TEB is a big TV station, and is not afraid of disputes and lawsuits, after all, the people from the cooperative law firm and the legal department are not for nothing, but it is better not to let the name go to court or not to go to court, these are conventions, and the temporary contract is like this.

Although Rin Chihara is young, he still understands these things, after all, he is also a "cold knowledge expert on the Internet" who came back in 2019, and smiled directly: "No problem, I'll sign it." ”

After speaking, under the command of the man in the suit, he filled in personal information such as name, age, address, and bank account on the document in turn, and then signed it, and used a seal, which was regarded as temporarily selling himself to Enomaru, and was rented by Enomaru to Tokyo Broadcasting TEB to work.

After the contract was successfully signed, the two men in suits shook hands with him warmly, left him a contract, and left directly.

Murakami Iori was a little worried that Chihara Rin would not be satisfied, so he comforted him while taking him outside: "As long as Chihara-san proves his talent, a long-term or even lifelong contract will definitely be fine, but for the time being, it can only be like this, please don't mind." ”

Chihara Rin understands,Now during the Great Depression,Everywhere is afraid of raising idlers.,He's not famous now.,Ability value is a fan.,Tokyo Broadcasting TEB is probably afraid that he's a silver-like wax head gun.,It's very powerful at first glance.,It's really going to be useless.,The long-term contract has to wait for him to do the results before it's possible - I can give him a chance to prove himself.,It's very good.,If it's not for the special period.,The production bureau still likes to train screenwriters by itself.。

He smiled and said, "Please don't worry, Miss Murakami, I think the contract is very good, I bothered you." After a pause, he said sincerely, "Thank you, Miss Murakami." ”

To be able to find a job so smoothly and squeeze into this circle, Murakami Iori has to take at least half of the credit, and he has taken a big risk, which must be thanked - even if Murakami Iori is also thinking about her own future, the two sides are actually using each other, but as the biggest beneficiary, he can't know what to do.

Murakami Iori was surprised, and then understood, feeling that Chihara Rin was young and young, but he was really good, and joked: "Then should I also thank you for your plan?" Okay, Chihara-san, you're welcome, the days when we take care of each other are still ahead, let's work together!"

She didn't want to thank each other like this, it seemed too raw, so she immediately changed the subject, "Chihara-san, let's go meet Director Fujii next, he said that he must meet you before the crew is officially established." ”

Rin Chihara naturally has no opinion, and it is estimated that the director of Na Bang Street is also worried that he is a straw bag, so he has to see it with his own eyes to make up his mind......
