Fortunately, Shiraki Katsuruma is not a pervert, he followed Chihara Rin out of the TV station gate and got off work, and he was too respectful, and he didn't dare to speak out loud for fear of disturbing his train of thought, so he just bowed silently and saw him off, and didn't follow him home, and finally didn't let Chihara Rin scare out yellow bile.

Rin Chihara decided to pay more attention to this assistant in the future, and felt that this assistant was weird - this guy is really amazing, he has no sense of existence at all, how is this long?

Seriously, it's a little scary!

Then, he followed the non-existent assistant to the first production meeting, which was set in a small conference room upstairs - although their headquarters was also a conference room repurpose, it was not easy for people to get in and out.

After entering the conference room, only the existing creative team was there, that is, producer Iori Murakami, director Arima Fujii, and assistant director and executive director Shingo Yoshizaki were here, and then it was gone......

It's a simple and shabby creative group, but it carries the future of many people's careers.

"Sorry, it's a little late. Rin Chihara said hello, but Iori Murakami didn't care, motioning for him to hurry up and sit opposite Fujii. In terms of identity row seats, assistant director Shingo Yoshizaki is also in his thirties, but he can only sit under the diagonal slope of the hairy boy of Rin Chihara - if there is an episode screenwriter, he will sit in the lower hand seat of Rin Chihara, which happens to be in the same position as him.

Chihara Rin sat down, and then looked around carefully, but he didn't find Shiraki Katsurama, thinking that he was very knowledgeable, and took the initiative to go back after leading the way.

Or is it possible that this guy was a ninja?

He was thinking nonsense there, and Iori Murakami didn't say much nonsense about the opening remarks, and said directly to him: "Chihara-kun, I haven't bothered you, now I'll inform you about the current situation." The studio has been cleaned up, and Fujii-kun has also prepared the storyboard for the first and second episodes......"

As she spoke, Arima Fujii handed over a copy of the storyboard, and Rin Chihara bowed his head to take it, and then began to look through it.

Iori Murakami paused for a while, waiting for him to take a look, and Arima Fujii touched his bald head and said softly: "It's so decided for the time being, if the effect is not satisfactory during shooting or if you have a better idea, I will change it." ”

The storyboard is a bit like a picture book, and even Arima Fujii has some parts that are simply colored, and the work is very rigorous, which makes people feel good. Rin Chihara read a few pages and found that it was the first episode of the overall beginning of "Wonderful Things in the World", including the "main character" telling the concept and background of the entire show, as well as three short stories, which are expected to be 95 minutes long, which is considered an extended version of the opening season.

He didn't move in the second episode, he was going to take it back and watch it slowly, put down the storyboard script, and said with a smile: "Fujii-kun has worked hard." "In terms of the actual work of the director, he now mainly watches and learns more, and just expresses his opinions or something.

Iori Murakami was very satisfied with the harmonious atmosphere of the team, and continued: "Then we will officially start filming on the 15th, and the next thing is the casting problem, do you have any actor recommendations?" As she spoke, she placed a large stack of materials in the middle of the table, "If not, these are the list of artists who currently have a cooperative relationship with our TV station, you can take a look." ”

Fujii Arima said: "Then let's determine the protagonist 'narrator' first, this role runs throughout the season, although there are not many scenes, but it is still very important to be able to determine the overall tone." Well, I feel that middle-aged men have a gloomy temperament and a more magnetic voice, and they need to have a certain reputation. ”

Assistant director Shingo Yoshizaki also suggested: "It's better to have that sense of vicissitudes that have gone through many things. ”

Iori Murakami flipped through it, took out a document, and asked, "How is Yamamoto?"

"He's a funny artist, I don't think his temperament is too suitable......"

"What about Ohno?"

"Ohno is good, he performed very well in the last mystery drama, but his salary may be a little more expensive, and his agency is not very good at talking when I hear it. ”

"There's no way it's expensive for this character, after all, throughout the season. ”

"Then invite him to audition first? What about anything else, is there a suitable actor?"

"Takeda can also do it, but his popularity is weaker, he has not had any good works in the past two years, and he is probably going downhill. ”

"That's okay, count him in. ”

Murakami, Fujii and Yoshizaki are all familiar hands, and they have been mixed in the production bureau since they entered the industry, and the discussions are very hot, and they are also very familiar with the actors in the industry, but Murakami Iori was afraid that he would snub the newcomer Chihara Rinto, so he deliberately took the time to ask: "Chihara, do you have any candidates you want to recommend?"

It is said that this is also a human society, and they are all working hard in one industry, and it is inevitable to have three or five friends, and it is also an unspoken rule to take care of friends first under the same conditions. If Rin Chihara has friends who want to participate, as long as it is suitable, Iori Murakami doesn't mind at all - she knows that Rin Chihara probably doesn't have many acquaintances in the circle, but this meeting must still be called to participate, and his opinion must also be asked, otherwise it will hinder unity.

It's a pity that Rin Chihara doesn't know a single actor at the moment, if it was in his original world, he would be interested in digging out those actors who will be popular in the future, but forget about the parallel world!

He could only smile and say, "No." ”

"That's it......" Murakami Iori naturally couldn't force him, turned his head and discussed with the two directors, and quickly decided on three audition candidates, and in the end, whoever played the role would take one of them, there was no openness and fairness at all, but that's it.

"Then comes the first season short drama, the actor of the little girl Miho, do you have any recommended candidates?"

The three of them shook their heads together, and Murakami began to rummage through the information again, "Then let's find out." ”

"How's Akiko?"

"Of course she's good, but she's on fire now, and the salary is definitely not suitable. ”

"Child stars are more expensive, especially around ten years old, otherwise we can find one from the print model or advertising model? There are more little girls there, and it shouldn't be a lion to be able to participate in TV dramas. ”

"Are acting skills guaranteed?"

"Pick a few more and choose well when you audition. ”

"Yes. ”

The three of them began to flip around again, and Chihara Rin was not idle, and began to look at the actors' materials with interest - under the big production bureau system, I feel that it is very convenient to do anything, and even the casting has complete and ready-made information, and there are also internal evaluation comments, one table per person, at a glance, thousands of copies.

Moreover, the power of the creative team is really great, especially the producer, if the director and screenwriter can be subdued, they can even decide the entire lineup on their own, which is unimaginable in the regular crew of other countries.

Of course, she is mainly responsible for the work hitting the street, but with this power, those small agents probably have to treat the producer as their own mother and father.

Soon, the audition staff of the little girl Meibao was selected, and then she called the agent and asked if the other party was interested and whether the schedule was suitable.

Followed by Miho's parents, who have more scenes, Arima Fujii and Shingo Yoshizaki recommended their mutual friends, and Iori Murakami and Rin Chihara naturally did not object, and they were directly included in the list. If the audition is not unexpected, then the two roles will be played by their friends.

Casting is a very small job, and it even involves a lot of gossip in the circle, intrigue between actors, grievances and hatreds, Chihara Rin listened with his ears pricked up while reading the actors' information, and by the way, he also found that the production bureau also raised a group of actors - passers-by actors, that is, extras.

These people are somewhat similar to the "certain drifters" who are waiting for work near China Film and Television City, for example, they carried a birdcage in the last scene, and they became bandits in the next scene. However, under the production bureau system, these people have a certain degree of organization, and they have also undergone simple training, and they can receive an extremely meager salary after reporting every day, and then receive a salary equivalent to odd jobs from the crew after assigning work.

If you don't have a job, you can go back, but when you go back, you may go to wash dishes, work as a porter, or do odd jobs.

This is a group of people who dream of stardom, and if they are given a small supporting role, they are 99% willing to work unpaid for several months, but unfortunately such opportunities are generally not available.

The casting process lasted more than three hours before it ended, and Arima Fujii felt a little good about the female producer, at least not so strong, and valued the opinions of the director and screenwriter, although the screenwriter didn't say a few words from beginning to end.

He closed the notepad, estimated the salary in his heart for a while, compared the budget, felt a little bad, and asked Iori Murakami, who was busy collecting information, "Miss Murakami, do you have any gains in contacting the company?"

Iori Murakami's hand moved, and he smiled bitterly: "No." ”

In this book, the filming of TV dramas will also attract sponsorship, for example, the company pays some money, and the crew will put a line of subtitles such as "Nanai Life" and "Nitto Bank" at the beginning or end of the film to express their gratitude, which can be regarded as helping the company expand its influence, or helping the company to play some soft advertisements in the TV series, and even sending a short advertisement for the protagonist directly at the end or something.

As a producer, part of the task of Iori Murakami is to ensure that the funds can support the filming of the whole season, so she naturally needs to save everywhere, but when filming film and television works, the more money you spend, the better the quality, and she also put a lot of effort into soliciting sponsorship to increase the overall budget, but unfortunately she didn't get anything.

Small businesses are reluctant to spend money, and large businesses can't afford their kind of night dramas.

Fujii Arima was mentally prepared, but he was not disappointed, and could only sigh: "That budget will be saved." ”

"Try to find some actors with low salaries, even if the acting skills are a little worse. "Murakami Iori doesn't have a good way, it's difficult for a good woman to cook without rice, and she can only make small productions at low cost, and say goodbye directly to popular actors and gorgeous special effects - audition tomorrow, as long as the acting skills are about the same, whoever is underpaid will use whom.

The assistant director Shingo Yoshizaki was quite confident, and seemed to be an optimist, and said with a smile: "You don't want to be like this, the script is very interesting, Arima can also shoot interestingly, and a small production can be a big success!"

Iori Murakami also smiled and said directly: "If it can really be a big success, I will invite everyone to Ginza for a drink." ”

Fujii Arima touched his bald head, and seemed a little embarrassed, "Is there a club in Ginza? My wife won't let me go to that kind of place......"

Iori Murakami was dumbfounded, and was about to change his words, when he saw Arima Fujii turn his head and say to Shingo Yoshizaki: "Don't tell your wife, or she will tell my wife, then I won't be able to go." ”

"Don't worry, when have I betrayed you. ”

"Yesterday. ”

Iori Murakami shut up, ignoring the amusement of the pair, and turned to Rin Chihara and asked, "Chihara-kun, do you want to come back to the audition?"

Generally, this kind of small crew does not have a special casting director, and the producer, director and screenwriter nod to determine the role actors, but today she feels that Rin Chihara doesn't seem to be very interested in casting, so why don't you let him go back and write the script?

Screenwriter, as long as you don't die of overwork, I really hope that the more he writes, the better, anyway, you can choose the best of the best, and there is no place to make up for the less.

Rin Chihara just doesn't know the actor circle at the moment, so he can't interject, but he is still quite interested, and immediately said, "I'll come." ”

Murakami Iori was a little disappointed, but he couldn't object, so he could only say: "Okay, I'll let ...... then." Ask your assistant to notify you. ”

The assistant...... What's it called?
