Chapter 17 Ratings are the lifeblood
Chihara Rinren, no, should it be said that Lu Zhishou's tutor when he went to college was a bit unscrupulous, while engaging in sacred teaching and educating people, he often took some private work from outside the school to do it, and occasionally pulled students to work as coolies for him, which is famous: social internship, understand the sinister hearts of people in advance, and accept the beating of cold reality.
However, this bad tutor loves money a little, but he still has a good set of teaching and has not coped with things.
He made a word game "Ratings is the Root of Life" as a teaching material for new students to briefly understand some terminology of the choreographing and directing profession, the program production process and the division of responsibilities of each position - he thinks this is better than making these eighteen or nineteen-year-old foolish students memorize textbooks.
The copywriting of the game was written by him himself.,The program was developed by sending girls from the acting department to hook up with the science and engineering men of the college next door.,Not only did he not give a dime.,The beauties in the performance department also gained three pounds.,It's a typical case of empty gloves and white wolves making a lot of money.,But those science and engineering men don't seem to care.。
As for the game, it's still quite interesting, students need to try all kinds of "work" in the game, learn all kinds of information, answer all kinds of questions, deal with all kinds of common events, in order to make good works, meet certain ratings requirements, and then they can find teachers to hand in homework - bad tutors will score according to the built-in data in the game to determine whether students have a preliminary understanding of the major.
Lu Zhishou naturally played it when he was a freshman, he couldn't do it if he didn't play, this is homework, and his rating is still quite high, mainly because he has a strong plan, a tough temperament, and can sit still, which is very suitable for this kind of dull, complex and trivial game.
As for the performance of the built-in data, he didn't know, only the mentor knew about it, but the mentor looked at him a little differently since then, and often caught him to do coolies - he once suspected that the game was a coolie screening tool for unscrupulous mentors, but then it didn't matter, why did he care so much about learning things?
Of course, there are also people who want to take shortcuts to cheat, but the level is not as good as those professional science and engineering men, they are basically found out, and the end is very miserable, and they are ordered to memorize textbooks to take the exam if they don't want to play games, otherwise this course will be counted as zero points - the bad tutor in the exam will personally make the questions, and all the cheaters will fail the course, and they will stay in school collectively to make up the exam during the winter vacation.
After the basic theory course in the first half of the freshman year ended, the game "Ratings are the Root of Life" was thrown aside by Lu Zhishou and he didn't care about it anymore.
It's been almost two years, and he's really forgotten that he still has this thing on his hard drive.
Now the more he looks at this line of words, the more it looks like the prompt in "Ratings is the Root of Life", so he hurriedly searched through the sea of memory, and finally filtered out a large number of video and audio fragments, and found the coolie screening game "Ratings is the Root of Life".
Or is it a familiar interface, or a familiar taste, but it can interact with reality?
How does this work?
While thinking about this question, which may never be answered, he habitually clicked on the character panel:
Name: Rin Chihara
Title: None
Energy: 78/100
Screenwriter: LV1
Director: Not activated
Producer: Inactive
Current Professional Skills: [Format Writing], [Spiritual Observation]
General Skill: [Scout LV1]
Holding capital: 10000
Possession: None
In the end, there was a blood-red "+" number in the "possession", and Rin Chihara silently clicked on it, and found that it was indeed the old taste: only these convenient tools are allowed, and whoever cheats will bear the consequences!
He turned off the nostalgic "threatening instructions" again, and then clicked on the "Possession Purchase", and directly spent the initial 10,000 yuan on the purchase of tools - [Distraction Dual-use], after equipping the item, you will be able to achieve distraction dual-purpose and complete two tasks at the same time.
He is very familiar with this game, and he knows that this is an early artifact, and he can write a "script" while hanging up in the background, and at the same time hooking up with actors, which can be regarded as a disguised double opening, which can save a lot of game time. However, now in the real world, it should be unlikely that I will be able to run around while writing the script, at most I will write the script while holding meetings and watching the shooting scene?
It's not bad, so at least you won't spend most of your time on the desk, and the starting capital of 10,000 yuan can only be picked one of the three basic holdings, [distraction dual-purpose] is already the most practical, and the two [sycophants] and [discovering a special talent] are even more troublesome.
After using [Sycophant Magic], you can have the opportunity to get a sudden promotion, rich woman investment and other lucky events, but there are also great side effects, such as the rich woman will make some special requests, and if you don't do it, she will turn her face directly.
And [Finding a Special Talent] is even more useless in the early stage, I haven't reached the time to form a team, and that thing is not very stable, if you find a talent, people don't necessarily have to do it with you, it's not good to build 10,000 yuan for nothing.
Then it's like more advanced holdings, such as [Energy Recovery Potion], [Acting Explosion Pill], [Beauty Filter] and the like, which are not affordable at all now, and you don't even need to look at them.
This game is actually very simple and brainless, after all, it is just a gadget that allows students to experience the work of choreographers in advance, and the role of teaching is greater than entertainment, and it is really useless - the bad tutor puts the holdings, just to speed up the game process, so as not to let the students play endlessly.
There is nothing else, even if you are really in the game, you still have to write your own script, find your own funds, find your own actors, even if it is just a little bit to go, all the steps that should be there must still be.

"Chihara-kun?Chihara-kun??"
Rin Chihara suddenly came back to his senses and turned to Iori Murakami, who asked with concern, "What's the matter, Chihara-kun? ”
She wanted to ask Rin Chihara's opinion of the actor just now, but it turned out that Rin Chihara, who had always been very steady, was in a daze, and she couldn't help but wonder if she had used him too much recently...... kept urging him to write more and write more, and he was really hardworking, and he didn't move when he sat down, shouldn't he be hovering on the verge of death from overwork?
Rin Chihara turned off the game for the time being, and said with a smile: "I'm fine, is Miss Murakami going to ask what she thinks of the actor just now?"
"That's right, what do you think?" Iori Murakami took a closer look at him, and saw that he seemed to be refreshed again, so he put his worries aside for the time being.
"I don't think so. "Rin Chihara told the truth directly.
"I understand. "Itori Murakami is not strange, Rin Chihara was obviously in a daze just now, and he felt like he was about to fall asleep, and it was strange to have an opinion.
The casting process continued, and the next person to come in was Kenta Ohno, the high-priced guy who was favored by the producer, director, and assistant director, and Rin Chihara held his chin with his hands on his head, as if he was watching carefully, but in fact he began to try his skills.
[Format Writing] Don't worry, this is for auxiliary writing, as long as you activate the screenwriter level, you will have this non-upgradable passive skill.
Thinking about it now, it should have been activated when I signed the temporary main creator and screenwriter contract, and I really felt a lot easier to write the script the next day, the efficiency was greatly increased, and the consumption of energy was greatly reduced, but I didn't pay attention to it at the time.
[Spiritual Observation] has been tried, it should be automatically triggered when encountering casting, this skill is equivalent to the screenwriter's intuition, take the role and the actor for direct comparison, do not consider anything else, it is relatively easy to use, but this thing is not omnipotent, based on this selection of actors alone, it is very likely to choose a person who is very similar to the role, but has no acting skills.
But if it weren't for this skill, Rin Chihara probably wouldn't have found out in a few months that the game "Ratings Are the Root of Life" had followed, and he had only been interested in those audio fragments.
Of course, he also took a look at the spiritual fit between Kenta Ohno and the role of "narrator" by the way, and found that it reached 76%, which is the highest among the three actors to be selected.
Then, he activated the [Scout] skill, and stared at Kenta Ohno carefully for a while, and sure enough, he could see the data sheet of a certain actor as before-
Stage name: Kenta Ohno
Name:???
Agency: ITE Performing Arts Agency
Age: 37 years old
Height: 176 cm
Weight: 67 kg
Popularity:???
Appearance: ???

Toughness:???

Probability of sluggish acting: ???
Chance of Prize Promotion: ???

Personal note: ???
……
[Scout] This skill is upgradeable, the current LV1, Chihara Rin wiped his face and turned it off - before spending money to upgrade, it was really useless as before, and the key data was basically all "???".
In other words, bad mentors are really pits, and they have a bunch of bells and whistles, but there are few that are easy to use!
He directly observed the actor's performance with the naked eye, feeling that this was a little more reliable, and by the way, he equipped the [distraction dual-purpose], and then he felt that his brain seemed to be divided into two work areas, one was busy searching for video and audio fragments to restore into the script, and the other was judging Kenta Ohno's performance, without interfering with each other, each into a system, and at the same time, his hand also moved automatically, and began to write word by line on the notebook.
Fortunately, there is still a little reliable thing, but this energy value seems to be falling a little fast, it wasn't like this before, could it be that this energy value now refers to the tiredness of your brain?
Iori Murakami heard the "rustle" of a pen across the paper, looked over in surprise, and was surprised to see that the content of the pen seemed to be a script.
Is this the inspiration? Was he originally conceiving the script in a daze just now? Great, don't worry about him dying of overwork, you can continue to urge the draft......
She didn't bother Rin Chihara anymore, anyway, others were here, and if they really had opinions, they would naturally say it, so she waited for Kenta Ohno to leave, and discussed it with Fujii Arima: "How do you feel, Fujii-kun?"
"It's a little better than Takeda. Fujii Arima told the truth, but judging the performance is more subjective, and it is normal for different people to have different opinions, and he asked, "Which of the three people does Miss Murakami think is the most suitable?"
"I also think Ohno is doing better, but his salary requirements are ......" Iori Murakami flipped through the information sheet, a little embarrassed.
If possible, of course, she wants the actors to be all national stars, but the sad budget reminds her that it's better not to dream.
"Is it much worse?"
"It's almost twice as high as Takeda, and he also asks for a high royalty, and I feel that the compilation committee is unlikely to agree. ”
Fujii Arima, he is an actor who hopes to use better acting skills, but he can't care about the life or death of the producer, after all, the current cooperation atmosphere is still very harmonious - the screenwriter is a stuffy gourd, as long as you don't meddle in his affairs, he won't interfere in your affairs, and the producer is even easier to talk to, basically coaxing everyone to work, not tough at all, very perfect.
He smiled and said, "Then it's up to Miss Murakami to decide!"
"Let's choose Takeda Ichima!" Iori Murakami was not polite, after all, the budget was too small, and there was really no way.
Chihara Rin didn't care, Kenta Ohno is more similar to the character, and the acting feels better, but the specific situation is analyzed on a case-by-case basis, and it is obviously wiser to take a cost-effective one at present, otherwise an actor will take up too much budget, and the overall quality will drop even more if it is not good.
Thinking about it this way, the skill of [Spiritual Matching] doesn't feel very useful......
The role of "narrator" is done, and then the first episode of the opening skit is the actor of the heaviest little girl Misho, but this time it didn't go so well.
In order to save money, the crew decided to find graphic models and advertising models, but the first few little girls looked very suitable, and their acting skills were problematic - they were quite good at posing POES, and they could change more than ten postures in an instant, which was very cute and cute, but let them act, they were obviously not used to it, except for smiling sweetly, other expressions were very fake.
This kind of role is only suitable for playing a little girl in her true colors, but it is not suitable for the role of Miho, and that role still requires acting skills.
Rin Chihara's head shook again and again, feeling that the crew with no money was really miserable.
Iori Murakami and Arima Fujii are also disappointed, and if they don't work at all, they will either move the skit back or have to spend more money to hire a child star.
At this time, the last little actor came in, and Rin Chihara took a look, and found that this little girl was eleven or twelve years old, with a neat stay in the sea, long soft hair, black and shiny like a crow feather, and her eyes were exceptionally good-looking, and her smile was crooked, really pure as a clear spring, which could make people look to the end.
She is also very educated, and bowed very politely when she entered the door: "Hello three teachers, I am Michiko Fukasawa, please advise." ”
Rin Chihara looked at the skill prompt in the corner of his eyes, and his brows jumped slightly-the spiritual match was 81%, and the tallest little girl before was only 42%.
The role of Miho is half an innocent little girl, and half is a dark adult soul, so now that Michiko is so compatible, what is the situation?
But no matter what the situation is, as long as the acting skills are passable and the salary is not high, the candidate for this role should be her.
