Chapter 415: Just wait to participate in the pilot season and see the results
Rin Chihara couldn't believe the professionalism of the staff of the SBS production center, so the backbone of the crew directly transferred a group of veterans from the Kanto United Production Bureau, and only ordinary staff used SBS employees, claiming that it was to help SBS train the local team with the old and the new.
The SBS Council has no opinions, the production center has some opinions, but it doesn't count, and the PDs of the production center who feel insulted and feel that they have been touched by cheese, Rin Chihara is even more devoid of these people, and none of them have been absorbed.
Kim so-mi is a little worried about this, the crew can be mixed, and the audience can't see it anyway, it doesn't matter, but if you really want to rush the ratings in South Korea, the actors still have to use Korean artists, and the PDs of the production center are not accepted, so who will contact the popular actors?
After all, although Rin Chihara has a bit of a reputation in the Korean entertainment industry, he really can't compare with him in terms of appeal, not to mention his personal friendship, he doesn't know a few Korean actors at all.
Is it only the quality of the script that impresses those big actors?
She was still there speculating about what Rin Chihara was going to do, and suddenly found that Rin Chihara didn't mean to invite anyone to participate at all, but cast a large net and submitted the abbreviation of the script directly to the Korean Actors Guild.
Kim so-mi felt a bit nonsense, and the audition meeting was also very strange, Chihara Rin just let the actors who came to audition line up into the house for a turn, and he looked at the lens effect even if it was the end of the audition, which felt very child's play.
The SBS staff who was in charge of maintaining the order of the audition was completely confused, and Kim so-mi's brows became more and more wrinkled, and when an actor went out, he saw that Rin Chihara had drawn a big circle on the material, which was different from his performance all along, and finally couldn't help asking, "Are you going to let Miss Moon Hye-young play Eun-hee?"
Rin Chihara didn't raise his head when he looked at the data, and said casually: "At present, she is the most suitable, if there is no better one in the future, it is her." ”
Jin Xiumei flipped through the actor information in her hand and said confusedly: "But she has only participated in two dramas, and all of them are supporting roles with few scenes, and the ratings response is not very good......"
Chihara Rin said indifferently: "It's okay, I've watched it carefully, her age, appearance, temperament and acting skills are enough to support the role of Eun-hee, and it should be no problem to act." ”
Kim so-mi didn't know what to say for a while, Wen Hye-young is a rookie actress, and she can't be called a successful work since her debut, you just watched her say a few words, and then looked at the camera effect again, and you knew that her acting skills were enough?
Which eye do you use to see this?
Why didn't I see anything?
If she had the final say, she would not have handed over the heroine to someone like Wen Huiying at all, and I felt that she should still find a way to invite a famous actor, but unfortunately she didn't count. Although the SBS Council invited Rin Chihara to come, it is still unknown whether he can adapt to the Korean market. Now that he is willing to make a drama to try to open up the situation, the SBS Board of Directors is willing to give him full responsibility.
Kim so-mi is a character who observes and assists, and she can't oppose Chihara Rinto's opinion, so she can only be silent, and then she accompanied Chihara Rin for two days to meet more than 160 actors of various types, and Chihara Rin didn't discuss with anyone, so he designated more than ninety percent of the actors in the whole play.
Half of them are new-generation actors who have just debuted and are looking for opportunities to express themselves, and the other half are special actors who specialize in playing the role of elderly people and housewives. Overall, there are almost no famous people in it, but there are a lot of unlucky people, especially the actor of the actor Junxi, who has not been brilliant in two consecutive dramas, and belongs to the kind of actors who don't mix well and have no future, and KBS and MBC don't want to use it.
As a result, he was favored by Rin Chihara, and it only took a minute and twenty seconds.
Jin Xiumei has been following for so long, and now she hopes to shoot "Blue Life and Death Love" well, otherwise it is a pity to have such a good story, but she is completely helpless, and in the end she is very sad to look at the confirmed starring list - Rin Chihara seems to have formed a "unlucky alliance", and if it is spread out, it may make people laugh to death.
............
The legal staff responsible for the contract and other related matters, after Rin Chihara selected the actors, he immediately took the actors to start reading the script and trying out the rehearsals. The crew also began preparations for filming site selection, equipment transfer and other matters, and then four days later, in mid-December, "Blue Life and Death Love" was ready to start.
It was also the first time for Rin Chihara to participate in the opening ceremony of a Korean TV series, but he also respected the local customs, so he did it according to the rules of South Korea - it was said that the production bureau was to burn dolls, and this was for pigs' heads, and the difference was still very big.
Koreans love pigs, not only like to eat pork, but also regard pigs as animals that can bring good fortune, in ancient times they liked to use pig heads when worshipping gods, to film and television shooting, which is a highly psychological comfort (feudal superstition) industry, SBS staff made a big pig's head and put it on the altar when the camera was turned on.
Everything is difficult at the beginning, the pig's head represents a good start in South Korea, and offering the pig's head is to pray to God to bless the shooting will always go smoothly.
Rin Chihara was stared at by the pig's head, and he felt that the pig was a little dead, but he felt okay. He remembered that the Korean drama would sometimes invite a shaman to dance the god, but now it is just for the pig's head to pray for blessings, which is simple - Korean folk generally believe in shamans, a primitive religion, like what moved to open a house with chronic diseases, often invited shamans to exorcise demons, which is a characteristic folk custom.
That "Blue Life and Death Love" didn't see the shaman walking the knife mountain and dancing the "crazy demon dance", only saw the pig's head, maybe the SBS staff couldn't figure out the faith of the Kanto United staff, for fear of causing any religious conflicts, and didn't dare to invite - Chihara Rin knows that shamans are very popular in South Korea, or because of the female president of South Korea***, she was caught by the prosecutor because of bad things such as "girlfriends interfere in politics" and "girlfriends take bribes", and her girlfriend is a shaman's successor, and I heard that she will be a god stick for the president in many things.
After Rin Chihara led the whole crew to supply the pig's head, the pig's head was taken away, and I don't know if it will be eaten, but he won't care about this, and "Blue Life and Death Love" officially started filming.
Filming Korean dramas is also a challenge for him, Japanese dramas are traditionally "good scripts and bad shooting", Korean dramas are just the opposite, the script can be changed blindly if nothing happens, and it doesn't matter if the structure collapses, but the shooting must be extraordinarily exquisite, otherwise the audience will be very angry.
Fortunately, he was originally strict with the quality of shooting, and now he has changed a group of audiences who have higher requirements for the beauty of the picture, and it is no problem to adapt.
The crew soon ran smoothly according to the shooting plan he formulated, and the work progressed in an orderly and smooth manner, but the scene was a little chaotic. The main reason is that the language is not easy to coordinate, there are Korean-Chinese speakers, some Japanese-speaking, and the staff of the two TV stations communicate with each other, and some use Chinese and English. If someone who doesn't know the situation suddenly joins the crew, eighty percent will think that this is a super big production co-produced by Shikoku.
But these are all minor problems that can't affect the overall situation, but occasionally there will be a little bit of miscommunication due to poor communication, and it won't delay much time.
Kim so-mi couldn't help with the filming and could only assist with logistics and outreach, but she was curious to observe the differences between the two TV stations, Kanto United and SBS, and soon found that the Kanto United staff were more obedient, more efficient, and more individual, and they were significantly better than SBS employees.
However, SBS also has a stronger place than Kanto United, the equipment used in SBS shooting is more advanced and sophisticated, and the digital equipment is more popular, which is more time-saving and labor-saving when it comes, which makes the employees of Kanto United very envious - Kanto United is still using equipment from the early to mid-nineties, and there are a number of old antiques in the eighties, and there is a huge generation difference with the equipment used by SBS.
In other words, in this country, most of the new technologies that have nothing to do with life and death are always half a beat slower to apply than other countries, even if the country is a big producer of digital products.
In this regard, Chihara Rin is also rectifying, but the current progress is slow, mainly because the Kanto United is used to it from top to bottom, and I don't think there is anything wrong with this, or I am more willing to pursue low prices, as for the performance, I can make do with it, and I don't have to be too cutting-edge - the double-layer toilet paper used by the Kanto Joint Production Bureau now is changed after he came to power, and it used to be single-layered, so I really have to be careful to wipe my ass, for fear that if I use too much force, there will be unspeakable things, not to mention the comprehensive replacement of the equipment.
............
The filming went very smoothly, while Rinto Chihara presided over the shooting, he remotely controlled Iori Murakami and Rumi Nishijima to deal with the affairs of the Kanto Joint Production Bureau, and even took a plane to have a few meetings on the same day, and kicked the ass of several subordinates, and in such a busy and busy situation, the time soon came to the end of December, and the first and second episodes of "Blue Life and Death Love" entered the post-production stage- This is specially made for next year's Spring Festival pilot season (which starts around mid-January and spans the entire Spring Festival period), with a tighter pace, extra beautiful shooting, and an extended version.
This is also the reason why Korean dramas are often particularly amazing in the front. It's not good-looking in the front, and it didn't get a good response in the trial season, and it's useless for you to shoot flowers later, because the show won't be officially launched at all, and you won't get a broadcast time.
Rin Chihara gave priority to inviting the observer Jin Xiumei to try it out, although the post-production soundtrack, production of the opening and ending and other steps have not been carried out, and Jin Xiumei was even more affected by the drama, but she still watched it with relish, and even a little awe-inspiring to Chihara Rinren.
The effect is even better than she imagined, handsome men and beautiful women, exquisite lines, plus composition, framing, and lens language have taken a lot of thought, even if she knows that it is a half-finished product, but it still looks like there is an indescribable sense of comfort, and she can't find any place to play.
Not to mention the smoothness of the plot, it looks like the structure is exquisite, and there is a big suspense at the end of each episode, which is a bit addictive to watch......
Of course, these alone are not enough for her to be in awe, after all, Rin Chihara is not a nobody, and it is natural to shoot a good work, mainly because all the actors used in this drama have natural and smooth acting skills, just like acting in their true colors, and they don't look like a newcomer at all- It's still hard for her to understand how Rin Chihara selects the actors, it's obviously unreasonable, but now that the finished products are out, it can only be said that Rin Chihara's eyesight is really extraordinarily poisonous, and he is a good hand at training actors, and he is worthy of being a genius producer who single-handedly holds up the Kanto United Forces.
Rin Chihara was naturally watching with him, and he felt very comfortable watching it. After all, this is a special country where 83% of the people have more or less plastic surgery, and 99% of the artists have had plastic surgery - the reason why it is not 100% is because there must be one of the Korean idol groups who have not had plastic surgery, in order to cater to the fans who oppose plastic surgery, otherwise it will be really 100%.
The artificially made, of course, looks exquisite, at least if you don't consider issues such as "natural nature" or "fake or not", it still looks very pleasing to the eye.
The shooting is good, at least he is quite satisfied, he feels quite good about himself, and he is waiting to participate in the pilot season to see the results.
After all, this industry will always rely on ratings to speak.
