Chapter 67: Please Join the Kanto Union!
Rin Chihara asked himself that he was a little famous, and he felt that the second job search should be smoother, but the truth greatly exceeded his expectations.
Mt. Fuji TV was most interested in him, but it didn't plan to give him prime time, let alone give him prime time, but asked him to continue to do late-night dramas and asked him to hand in a late-night drama script. If it's good enough, they're willing to put in the staff and budget, and they don't have much of a problem with him wanting to bring his "team" with him.
Of course, the premise is that the script is good enough, and if the script is not good, there is no need to talk about everything.
Asahki TV has similar expectations for him, hoping that he can make another high-quality late-night drama, preferably the kind that can suppress the other four major TV stations, but he is a little hesitant to join with his "team", but he did not explicitly refuse, and he also wanted to read the script first.
Obviously, after the first season of "Shiqi" aired, both TV stations intended to put a little effort into the late-night period, so as not to unknowingly fall into the embarrassment of the backhand, and Chihara Rin tried to introduce the targeted draft plans he had prepared, but neither of them was very interested, saying that they currently have enough programs throughout the day, and they will not consider making any big changes for the time being, except for the late-night time.
On the Sakurajima TV side, someone has some interest in him as a person, and there is a senior creator and screenwriter who appreciates him very much and intends to accept him as a disciple.
Rin Chihara tentatively asked about the production of the show, and the old screenwriter said that the young man should not be in a hurry, he was about to retire, and he would take the throne in the future, no, he would pass on the show and contacts to him......
Rin Chihara has no interest in being a "prince", and he left directly after a perfunctory pat on the ass, he suspected that this old guy was exhausted of potential, and wanted to trick him into being a fat sheep, picking up his wool, and exploiting his ideas and scripts - don't think that the screenwriting circle and literature are as clean as they are, and there are as many bastards as they are, he has heard a lot of things about the old qualifications in the circle using all kinds of "promises" to deceive newcomers' works.
It took a day and a half, and after testing the reactions of the three production bureaus, Sakurajima was eliminated directly, and there was a high probability that someone over there just wanted to take the opportunity to pick up the cheap, and Chihara Rin was still sincere to Mt. Fuji and Asahuki, and fell into hesitation for a while.
Do you want to go back to doing late-night dramas again?
It's not that he can't do it, there are certain professional constraints in the standard contract of Tokyo Broadcasting TEB, for example, after he left Tokyo Broadcasting TEB, he can't do works similar to "Wonderful Things of the World" within five years, not that you can continue filming if you change the name to "Earth Magic Story", the five major TV stations have worked for so many years, I don't know how many copyright disputes have occurred, and the standard contract is generally not faulty, and there will be no loopholes for people to drill.
But it's not that he can't shoot other late-night dramas, after all, there are laws in place, and Tokyo Broadcasting TEB is not overbearing to that extent, such as another very famous late-night drama "Late Night Canteen", which is considered a food healing category, which is completely different from "Wonderful Things of the World", this kind of he can shoot, no one can control it, and I believe that the shooting effect is just as good.
The main reason why he didn't dare to choose this drama was just because this drama has relatively high requirements for actors' acting skills, although it is not as exaggerated as "The Lonely Gourmet", an actor can decide the success or failure of a drama, but he still invests a lot in terms of salary, and the casting will be more difficult, which is very likely to lead to the project not being approved by the compilation committee.
Then go back to doing late-night dramas?
It's just that I finally escaped the mud puddle in the middle of the night, and I really don't want to go back - filming there is simply a crime, not to mention half the effort, and it is basically impossible to get more than 40% of the ratings, and it will never be a real blockbuster.
Rin Chihara sat in the apartment and sighed deeply, feeling that he was still not famous enough, and the main impression of major TV stations at present was that he was a rookie screenwriter who could do a good job in late-night dramas, rather than really recognizing his strength, thinking that he could be comfortable with all programs.
After all, he only has one successful work, and whether it is a writer or a screenwriter, I really don't know how many people are as dazzling as meteors and then disappearing from everyone......
If you have two national hit dramas with 40% ratings, the situation will be completely different, I'm afraid that I just finished arguing with Tokyo Broadcasting TEB, and I haven't left the gate of the TV station yet, and the special cars of other TV stations are already waiting at the door, as long as I can sign a contract, which time slot will be given to which time, there is absolutely no such problem now.
Rin Chihara pondered at home for an afternoon, and felt as if it was all there was to be. The few programs he prepared that are very suitable for the prime-time of the two TV stations are actually quite good, but the script can judge a certain quality or badness, but before it is filmed, no one dares to pack the ticket ratings will be good, he doesn't dare, the other party is even more skeptical, but believes in his strength in the late-night period, and only wants him to try again in the late-night drama.
This is where the main problem lies, it has become a sense of "being burdened by fame", as if you can only take a step back and then raise your reputation and reputation.
Then write the creative outline and the first two episodes of "Late Night Canteen", it's not a newcomer period now, you have to have a good budget, it's easy to find good actors, this drama feels like it's ready to start filming - this drama has a certain influence in Asia in another world, and has been filmed in China, Japan and South Korea.
He recognized the reality, just did what he said, locked himself in the house and wrote for three days, briefly made the outline of "Late Night Canteen" and the first two episodes, and added it while filming after preparing the details, and then went to the special managers of Mount Fuji and Asahuki, but things were unexpected again, and neither of them was very optimistic about this drama.
"Late Night Canteen" is indeed a comic adaptation.,There's no comic foundation in this world.,Then this drama looks a little bland.,The plot is basically all around a late-night canteen that only sells pork packages.,Pay more attention to the wonderful relationship between people.,Seeking warmth and touching in daily life.,But this is also a work with a wide audience and great potential anyway.,It's a bit too much if you don't like them all!
Rin Chihara argued with reason and wanted to persuade any of them to invest, but neither of them wanted to, and invariably hinted at him - a late-night drama, a little more exciting!
It's not for him to engage in H sex, public TV stations don't dare to do this. Mt. Fuji TV hopes that it is best to be biased towards suspense and reasoning dramas, which can make up for the type of audience of their TV station, while Asuki hopes to bring some horror elements and a more bizarre style, which is more compatible with the consistent style of their TV station.
The two special managers are people of this era and this world.,There are some limitations.,It's hard to see the potential of "Late Night Canteen".,As a result, Chihara Rin didn't convince the other party for a day.,In the end, there was no trick.,And the other party's attitude has always been very good.,Just take responsibility for the work from their point of view.,He can't afford to be angry - it's common to make revisions and denials in creation.,He's not so glassy.,Thunder when you don't go well.,Feel insulted.,But the problem is......
There's not enough time, and now it's not long before the spring season, and it's a bit impossible to catch up with the next season if it drags on like this, and it's too hurtful to waste three months.
He took his script and went back to the apartment, ready to boil the lamp oil and get a script that could get investment as soon as possible, and rushed back to April, May and June of the spring drama to participate in the war, it would be better if he could beat Jiro Ishii by the way, but as soon as he arrived at the door of the apartment, he didn't take out the key yet, and when he looked up, he saw a middle-aged man.
He couldn't help but wonder and asked, "May I ask you...... Looking for whom?"
The middle-aged man was standing at his door reading the newspaper, and only reacted when he heard him speak, looked at him carefully, and immediately asked with a kind face, "Is it Mr. Chihara Rinto?"
Rin Chihara took a closer look at the middle-aged man, he looked a little ugly, with a pair of big yellow buckteeth, so that his mouth was a little protruding outward, looking like a funny artist, and his height was not high, about one meter six points, his body was on the fat side, and the whole looked like a ball, but the economic conditions looked quite good, with a big gold watch, and a suit looked quite classy.
His memory was good, and this person was too distinctive, so he immediately confirmed that he had never seen it, and asked with a slight vigilance, "Who are you?"
He didn't admit it, but the middle-aged man had basically determined his identity, and immediately took out his business card from the inner pocket of his suit, bowed his head respectfully and handed it over: "The contemptible person is Shiga Ayumi, the director of the production bureau of Kanto United Television, who has admired the name of Chihara for a long time, and came with a smell, please forgive me." ”
Chihara Rin couldn't help but be slightly surprised, Dongguan United TV Station has indeed been pressed to the ground by the Big Five and rubbed repeatedly, and is hung up and ridiculed by the newspaper every day, and it seems that it will be very miserable in the future, but this does not mean that this TV station is worthless - the sixth largest TV station in the country, the core of the sixth largest civil broadcasting network, this is in a normal country, it is not an ordinary organization.
The director of the production bureau is equivalent to one of the core executives of the TV station, usually served by the director's hardcore cronies, and is a strong contender for the future director, which can be called a big man in this circle.
Don't look at the drama critics in the newspaper who scolded Dongguan United for being happy, I really met the director of the production bureau of Kanto United and promised to shut up immediately, and I was not afraid to let go of a fart.
Chihara Rin was also mixed in this circle, and he didn't dare to slack off, so he quickly took the business card with both hands, and took out his business card and handed it back as it was, and asked at the same time: "Please give me more advice when we meet for the first time, but I don't know if there is anything special about Director Shiga's coming?"
Even if you have a little reputation, other TV stations will send special receptionists, which is actually a bit rare - this is also the main reason why he doesn't have much opinion on changing the script, those two TV stations are still sincere, and they have always been polite and courteous, even if they let him change the script, they are very polite.
In society, you respect me, I respect you, this is the basic requirement.
Shiga Ayumi also took his business card with respectful hands, and took advantage of the situation to hold his hand tightly, looked at him seriously, and smiled affectionately: "What other reason can I come to Chihara-sensei at this time, of course, we are eager to seek talents in the Kanto region!"
