Chapter 5: The First Unlucky Guy
Iori Murakami was reading the script and was engrossed in it, and Rin Chihara, who was sitting across from her, gradually relieved himself - he was worried that Murakami would not be able to read the script, and he was afraid that she would not be interested in the script.
This must be prevented, a script and a novel are two different things.
Except for some magical works, novels often have a clear timeline, which is in line with human reading habits, and what he handed in was a scene script, completely ignoring the timeline.
Maybe in the scene script, the last scene of the lovers is sweet and sweet and sprinkled with dog food, and the next paragraph of the two people stab each other with knives - the time may be ten years apart, but these things happened in the same scene, and they were put together to facilitate the use of the actors and the director into the script of the shot.
And the script is very boring, there is no character interpretation, no psychological activity, no large background description, completely based on lines, supplemented by action scene description, plain and straightforward, people with slightly weaker brain replenishment ability will look particularly boring - interpreting the story is the director's job, enriching the character's emotions is the actor's job, and those have nothing to do with the screenwriter.
To put it simply, the same story, the novel may make people read with relish, but if it is replaced by a scene script, nine times out of ten it makes people confused, disgusted, and they are really afraid of lead poisoning when they wipe their buttocks - unless it is a literary script, the kind is for investors and other laymen, but a producer can't even read the scene script, and Rin Chihara doesn't think this is the candidate he wants.
Now Iori Murakami is obviously an insider, so for this insider, it is another question whether this script is worth filming.
It's not an interesting story that will definitely sell when it's filmed, and countless TV series that were favored in advance but were actually cut in half have already proved this.
Fortunately, judging from her current performance, she should still be quite interested - Rin Chihara is mainly worried about whether this kind of multi-element reversal drama will be acceptable to the public in the nineties. But on the other hand, in the 90s, reversal dramas were still a new thing, as long as you can accept it, you will definitely be interested, right?
After all, it's not 2019 when reversal dramas and brain hole dramas rot the streets, and it can be regarded as an innovation.
…………
That's right, Rin Chihara came here in 2019, and he can be described as the first unlucky guy in 2019.
His original name was Lu Zhishou, a student majoring in choreography and directing at a well-known university, and he spent the summer vacation in the dormitory writing his short essay - this is very important, it is related to whether he will develop in the direction of directing or screenwriter after his junior year.
But unfortunate things happened, his city is a thunderstorm prone area, and one or two unlucky people in six or seven million people are always struck by lightning every year, and he is one of the unlucky people on the list in 2019.
He sat at his desk in the middle of the night and worked hard, ignoring what was going on outside the window, and only wanted to write a thesis, but the lightning didn't know where it hit near his dormitory, and he was electrocuted along the line, really wronged!
Obviously, there are air switches and other equipment, but they are not used.
Then when he woke up again, he arrived in Tokyo at the end of 1994, and became a Rin Chihara who couldn't find a job and was decadent to death.
And, incredibly, this is still a parallel world - he confirmed it when he was familiar with the environment, the process of the history of this world is similar to his original world, at most there are slight differences in time, and the culture and customs are similar, but the people are different, for example, he did not find the works of well-known writers such as Yasunari Kawabata, Ryunosuke Akutagawa, Soseki Natsume, Yukio Mishima, Haruki Murakami, etc. in the bookstore.
Probably the people have changed, and the corresponding works have also changed - there are also many good works in the bookstore, which are not inferior to the classics in his original world, but he has never heard of any of these works, and he does not know any of the authors, and even the famous Nobel Prize in Literature is gone, and it has been replaced by the Sebayd Literary Prize.
It seems that there is inevitability in all the accidents in human history, or there is a providence in the dark, which has caused these two worlds that are roughly similar but not quite the same.
It was a very curious question, but he didn't bother with research for a while, and he had to find a way to survive first.
The original owner, that is, the original Chihara Rin, has been at home for more than two years, sitting and eating, except for a few personal belongings, basically nothing left for him.
Before the collapse of the bubble economy, the original owner's family life was still very good, there was a family-controlled industrial company, although the scale was not large, but by virtue of the great development of the economy and the huge market brought about by China's reform and opening up, the income was quite high, and the degree of wealth far exceeded that of the average middle-class family, but unfortunately the parents of the original owner did not control their greed, seeing that the real estate industry was so easy to make money, much stronger than doing business, and decisively took the company's low-mortgage loan after financing the entry, as a result of the bursting of the bubble economy, the company could not even pay off the interest on the loan, and finally had no choice but to apply for bankruptcy protection。
Subsequently, the parents of the original owner couldn't accept the hard work of two or three generations in an instant, and they were also angry with the shareholders for their poor management, and they also felt guilty for making a wrong decision, couldn't bear the shame, and simply committed suicide by burning carbon together.
The original owner was also destitute overnight, his home was seized to pay off his debts, he couldn't pay his college tuition, and he failed to apply for student loans, so he could only drop out of school, and then rented a small apartment to survive on the pocket money in his previous personal account.
He also looked for a job, but he had no academic qualifications and no professional skills, he couldn't find a serious job, he was too tired to do odd jobs and was too insulted to be called around, and he couldn't stand it for a few days, and finally he was directly decadent, and began to hold back in a cheap small apartment with resentment, writing all kinds of accusations of injustice in life on paper in the name of writing, until Lu Zhishou came - Lu Zhishou finished reading his "work + suicide note", after learning about his past, he found that the writing was incomprehensible, like a disease, with no artistic value, and he went directly to sell waste paper.
Then Lu Zhishou began to accept the identity of Chihara Rin, it's easy, the original owner has no parents, and relatives don't contact, from 92 to 94 years, there is basically no social interaction, no friends at all, as a result, he swallowed the jujube and generally accepted some of the original owner's language, after the common sense memory fragments, he directly became the new Chihara Rin, and then it was his turn to think about how to survive in this Great Depression period.
Otherwise, I can't explain it when I return to China, and Chinese nationality is notoriously difficult to enter, so I can only be forced to go abroad to work.
As for the crossing benefits that ordinary people have, he didn't take the full ......
Before he was "struck", he was writing papers on his laptop (mainly about the history, characteristics and future predictions of the film and television industry), and there were a large number of Japanese dramas, Japanese dramas and Japanese movies as reference materials on his hard drive, as well as some related literature, literary works and a little bit of literary action romance.
Now in the parallel world, people have changed, these works are equivalent to no master, all become his things - as a person who can recognize reality and have a clear goal, after he understands the environment, he only thinks about it for three minutes and is ready to work in the TV production bureau, at least it is better than doing odd jobs!
Otherwise, a college dropout, no capital and no connections, is it really ~ self-made? Let's support myself first, I can't even pay next year's rent!
But there is a problem, these video and text materials are fragmented, some are still incomplete, he needs to spend a lot of time to distinguish and restore, like building blocks to put them back together, some still need to make up for the completeness by themselves, it is estimated that they cannot be completely faithful to the original.
It's just that this is not in a hurry, and things have to be done step by step.
He sold almost all of the original owner's personal belongings, and with a little money he began to look around for someone to inquire about the TV station, and finally knew Iori Murakami from the security guard of Tokyo Broadcasting TEB, and thought she was the most suitable, and finally succeeded in sitting in front of her, waiting for her to read the script, and see if she was willing to promote the filming.
Establish goals, recognize reality, make plans, strictly implement, and now all that remains is to accept the results calmly.
