Chapter 202: Certificate of Merit
Tomohisa Mita received a certificate of commendation to prove that he has made outstanding contributions to the smooth broadcast of the drama "Xiangbang". He read it carefully, and found that the writing was very gorgeous, and it was written in a foggy manner, and he praised him, but he didn't say anything substantial, which immediately confused him - what are you doing with this?
And he doesn't feel that he has made any outstanding contributions to "Xiang Bang", he just proofreads the manuscript and consults various materials according to the requirements of the episode screenwriter, supplementing the small details in the series, this kind of work sometimes does not appear in the end credits, and even if it does, it is at most a bunch of names squeezed together for two seconds, and sometimes I can't find it when I look for it, it looks really insignificant.
He fell into hesitation for a moment there, completely confused, but his wife Mita Ariko was very happy: "I didn't know before, husband, you are doing such an important job, it's really hard!"
Tomohisa Mita came back to his senses and said instinctively: "No, it's just a very ordinary job......"
"Husband, you are too modest!"
"Not really...... Forget it, who sent this?"
"Nishina-san and Miss Shinagawa, this is their business card. Mita Ariko immediately took the guest's business card out, and said by the way: "There are good treats for them, don't worry, there is no rudeness." ”
Tomohisa Mita immediately took the business card and looked at it, and had an impression of these two names, but it was not a colleague in their crew, but a person from the chief production department, who seemed to be the part of the staff directly commanded by the big producer Miss Murakami - he mainly obeyed the command of the episode screenwriter in terms of work, and indirectly accepted orders from Rin Chihara, and he couldn't deal with the people in that area, and the production had nothing to do with him at all.
The commendations sent by these people are very formal, and they don't seem to be issued casually......
He looked at the bottom of the certificate again, and it was still stamped with the official seal of Rin Chihara, and his mood suddenly felt better. Although I still didn't understand why I suddenly sent this, and I didn't send it directly to myself on the TV station, but I sent it to my parents and wife at home, but it's a good thing after all, and I feel like my efforts are valued, which makes people feel comfortable.
He put away the business card, returned the parchment to his wife, and said with a smile, "Put it away!"
"Yes!" Mita Ariko tied the parchment with a gold rope and said, "Dad said that he would hang it in a frame when he turned around, and put it in the living room." ”
"This ...... That's not necessary, is it?"
But he was happy and insisted on doing it, and his mother was happy and supportive. Mita Ariko actually supported and insisted: "They were very happy tonight, and they talked to the guests for a long time." ”
"What did you say?"
"It's just some of the things you do when you work at the TV station, saying that you are very tired and hard, and you apologize for it, saying that now Kanto United TV is in a period of great development, and you need to work overtime for a long time to compete for ratings, which has affected your family life, and they feel very sorry. ”
Mita Tomohisa is relatively honest, and he was a little embarrassed to hear his wife's relay: "I don't need to apologize, where is there no need to work overtime now?" The economy is in a recession, and overtime is not paid in many places, in fact, the crew is already good......
Mita Ariko immediately said: "Yes, Dad said the same, work should be done hard, it is a responsibility to do a good job, and there is no need to apologize." ”
"That's right, it's hard to find a job now, and I've learned a lot in the new crew, and Mr. Chihara is really very talented, and a lot of things he says are very reasonable. ”
"Chihara-sensei, that is a very powerful screenwriter, right? They also mentioned that Chihara-sensei admires you!"
Tomohisa Mita scratched his head, he didn't know where he started talking about this, he was not qualified to talk directly to Rin Chihara when he was in a meeting, and he was very suspicious that Rin Chihara knew what his name was, but his wife said so, it didn't seem like a fake......
He hesitated, "Really?"
"Yes, it is said that the supplementary information you submitted is the most detailed and has the fewest errors. Mita Ariko was very concerned about her husband's career, and immediately rummaged on the table again and took out a few photocopies, "This is brought by a guest, let's take a look at the results of your work." ”
Mita Tomohisa immediately took it and took a look, and found that it was the supplementary information submitted by himself about the details of the murder scene of the mystery drama, and he didn't see it back after he handed it in, and he thought it was in vain, but he didn't expect Chihara Rin to really read it, and by the way, he also corrected it, and every word was revealed and a letter was added, and even the wrong punctuation marks were changed, and there was a comment written by Chihara Rin - very good, transferred to all episode screenwriters, and the details of all the murder scenes in the whole play refer to this material.
He didn't know that Chihara Rin had [proofreading] skills, and correcting the mistake was purely a habit of quickly browsing the information, and he was really convinced for a while, but he didn't pay much attention to being praised - he was so busy and could be so careful, no wonder he was a famous screenwriter at a younger age than himself, but he didn't even mix it up as an episode screenwriter, and there are still a lot of things to learn!
He looked at the photocopy there and was stunned, Mita Ariko looked at her watch and found that it was already twelve o'clock, and hurriedly said: "Husband, you are very tired, right?" I have already put the bath water, you go to the bath first, I will wipe your back." ”
"Oh, no, you have to get up early tomorrow, you go to sleep, I'll take a shower myself. ”
"I'm fine, you're working harder, and my parents also said that I want to take care of you during this time...... Mom also told me to care more about you, and she would try to share other chores as much as possible. ”
Mita Ariko pushed Mita Tomohisa to take a bath while talking, and gave him a good massage after taking a bath, and Mita Tomohisa fell asleep unconsciously, and was only woken up by his wife the next morning, and quickly washed up and went downstairs to have breakfast and prepare for work.
Breakfast has been prepared a long time ago, but today is extraordinarily rich, his father also needs to go to work, is reading the newspaper at the dining table, saw him sit down, put down the newspaper and glanced at him, and said in a deep voice: "Work hard, take responsibility!"
Mita Tomohisa's father is an old-school Showa character, he has always been silent, Mita Tomohisa usually doesn't communicate with him much, and when he heard this, he was stunned before responding: "I know." ”
"Well done. Daddy Mita said again, and then picked up the newspaper and continued to read the news. In fact, he was very pleased, but this kind of relief didn't need to be expressed to his son, and Mita Tomohisa's mother was much more direct, bringing him miso soup and rice with a smile, and said happily: "Tomohisa, I have to work hard today!"
"Yes, Mom!" Mita Tomohisa nodded obediently, then chopped rice and drank soup, and when he walked to the entrance after eating, his wife had already set up leather shoes for him, holding a briefcase and waiting for him.
When he left the house, he couldn't help but look back, and felt that today was a little different - not that he was more carefully cared for, his mother and wife were full-time housewives, these were their daily work, but their mental outlook was better, and they were obviously in a happy mood.
Is it because of that certificate?
I was praised, and my family was really happy for me......
He was so cranky and rushed to the Kanto United TV station, and when he arrived at the TV station, the morning meeting soon began, and an old qualified episode screenwriter assigned a job to their group of assistant screenwriters, and after determining the content of the work, he drilled into his cubicle and began to get busy, this TV series was filmed episode by episode, and the script had to be written all the time, and various fine-tuning sessions were made according to the ratings report analysis, which was very boring - script creation does not need passion, and after three months in the industry, any passion can be exhausted for you.
But today he did a very hard job, and the usual boring repeated proofreading seemed to be interesting, and he was busy for more than an hour in one breath, and he looked up and saw that the episode screenwriter Okuno Xiong came back with a relaxed face, and it felt that the script of the eighth episode of "Xiang Bang" had finally passed the review, and Okuno Xiong should not have felt the "suffocating silence" of Chihara's main creator, otherwise it would not be so relaxed and comfortable - "suffocating silence" It is said that when Chihara's main creator stared at the script and said nothing, no screenwriter could sit still in front of him, and he wanted to stand up and apologize immediately, but Tomohisa Mita was not qualified to experience this legendary "sense of oppression".
The script for the eighth episode has finally been finalized, which makes Tomohisa Mita feel relieved, at present, "Xiangbang" has finished broadcasting the first four episodes, and the seventh episode is being filmed, and the script has just been determined for the eighth episode, and the ninth episode has just started today.
The progress is very good, beyond prior expectations, but it can go so smoothly, mainly because you don't need to think about the plot, just follow the main creator's ideas, especially the main creator's ideas are not generally clear, but he hasn't figured out why the boss can think about the plots of five TV series at the same time but is not schizophrenic......
He paused for a moment, ready to take a break, got up and went to the pantry to pour some tea and get some biscuits. This is another big advantage of this crew, the working environment here is very comfortable, all kinds of drinks and snacks are complete, and it can be seen that the producer, Miss Murakami, attaches great importance to the feelings of ordinary staff.
He thinks it's very good, Chihara's main creative screenwriter has a hard personality, can take the lead, and is the anchor of all the crews, while Miss Murakami is soft, all small details can be taken into account, and she is the lubricant of each crew, and she really deserves to be the strongest golden partner in the TV production circle in the past two years, and I don't know if the rumors that they are a couple are true or not.
In fact, as far as an ordinary staff like him is concerned, he thinks that Chihara Murakami is a good match for CP, but unfortunately I can't see if they themselves have this meaning, they seem to only meet during working hours, and they pay great attention to maintaining proportions in private, probably because they don't want to affect their work because of their personal feelings?
Tomohisa Mita poured tea while thinking, there was no one to serve an assistant screenwriter like him, and he had to come by himself for everything, and he was busy there, when he suddenly heard someone not far away whispering about the commendation, and his tone was also very happy.
He doesn't like interpersonal communication very much, colleagues are just colleagues, colleagues at work, nothing after work, no friends in the TV station, I couldn't help but stop slightly and listen to two sentences, and was stunned to find that there are still many people who have received commendations - he didn't dare to mention this when he came to the TV station, for fear of being said by others behind his back that he was complacent, but he didn't expect that he didn't get the award alone, it seems to be something that everyone has, and he has to send it to the bachelors collectively on the TV station.
Or should it be changed to a letter of condolence?
He was slightly disappointed, but soon laughed dumbly, and understood why he had made a special trip to send him to his home - the certificate of commendation was not for himself, but for his family, and it was the main creator of Chihara and the producer Murakami who sent someone to apologize to his family.
He thought about the happy expressions of his family, and his heart was relieved again, no matter what, his family knew that he was working hard, which was a good thing, right?
He listened carefully, and found that the two people who were also pouring tea were chatting in a low voice and didn't care much about this, and seemed to be quite satisfied that they could let their family know their situation at the TV station, but the work was really busy, and those two people had tasks on them, so he left after a few words, and he continued to walk back with tea and snacks.
It's still very gratifying for the boss to show this attitude, then overtime is actually nothing, not to mention that this is also working hard for the benefit of everyone, if the drama can be filmed well, everyone will benefit - get a big and small salary for a long time, pay overtime, and get promoted in all aspects.
It's really time to do a good job, Mita Tomohisa thought about it and went back to his cubicle, took two sips of tea, and then continued to bury his head in the boring text revision work, but he didn't know when the ratings would get better......
If you work so hard, you should be rewarded with good results!
