Chapter 52: It's time to renew
"Chihara, are you busy?" Iori Murakami tapped the screen and asked with a smile, "Do you have time now?"
Chihara Rin looked up and smiled, and turned the page without a trace, he was using his working time to do private work, and what he wrote had nothing to do with "Shiqi", seeing that his boss was a little weak-hearted, he asked: "Of course there is! Is there something wrong, Miss Murakami?"
Iori Murakami didn't notice his small movements at all, sat down at his desk, and said with a smile: "It's a good thing, the formation committee is going to provide you with a long-term contract, I'll ask your opinion first." ”
She reciprocated the favor, implying that Rin Chihara could open his mouth widely, and she would try her best to help him fight for it - Rin Chihara is the main creative screenwriter under her, according to the default rules, Rin Chihara is her person, and this matter will be handled by her, and the compilation committee is just reviewing and approving the conditions, and whether she can strive for it is still very critical.
For the change of contract, Chihara Rin is not surprised, this night drama has become a dark horse, unless the production bureau compilation committee is collectively blind, otherwise a screenwriter like him will definitely not let go, that temporary contract to a normal contract is a routine operation, and even this speed can scold a big organization for being too slow to respond.
He had a plan for this matter, and smiled directly: "This, I hope it is a five-year long contract, and the copyright share should be increased as much as possible, and other benefits can be slightly increased according to the standard...... I've just been here for a short time, and I don't know what everyone's default standard is, so I'll ask Miss Murakami to help me think about it. ”
"Five years?"
"Five years is fine. ”
Iori Murakami lowered her eyelids and hinted, "It's okay to grow any longer." ”
"I'm confident in the future, and I can renew the contract then!" Rin Chihara didn't hide what she meant, and basically made it clear.
He thinks that he will have a strong rising period in the future, and the contract is too long but not cost-effective, and there are many opportunities to ask for a lot of sky-high prices, so it is better to fill in five years first, which can not only ensure the stable development in the early stage, but also ensure that even if the negotiation collapses in the future, the liquidated damages will not be too high, and his initiative can be higher.
This condition was a bit unexpected by Iori Murakami, she sat there and thought about it before reacting, and couldn't help but be secretly surprised by Chihara Rin's self-confidence - everyone wants a long-term contract, and they can't wait to get a lifetime contract directly in one step, after all, no one can guarantee that the ratings will always be above the good line, and they must be guarded against being abandoned by the production bureau if they don't get good results.
The production bureau has never only looked at the ratings and ratings share, and does not talk about feelings at all, which everyone knows in their hearts.
This involves Chihara Rinto's career plan for herself, she can't persuade if she wants to, she frowns and thinks for a while before saying: "If this is your plan, then you can try to get other treatment, so as not to suffer a loss...... Your contract still has more than a month to expire, so you can not rush to change it and make a hesitant gesture to leave, so that the personal treatment committee will be easier to talk and give an amount beyond the norm. ”
She was thinking about it for the people of Chihara, after all, her companions could work with peace of mind if they were treated, and the money vacated from the bad treatment would not go into her pocket, so it would be very simple for her to choose, but she was a little uneasy as she spoke, and asked like a joke: "Chihara, you won't really leave, right?"
"No, it was Miss Murakami who gave me a chance when I was in the most difficult time, and I remember this favor!" Rin Chihara also spoke as if he was joking, at that time, it should have been counted as a chance for each other, it was an exchange, but this is indeed the truth - he is running away now, but even if he kills Murakami Iori, even if he wants to change to a producer in the future, he has to protect Murakami Iori for one or two seasons, and bring her a mature team of episode screenwriters, so that she can get together and disperse, pat her ass and leave, and her conscience is not lost.
Although they used each other at the beginning, they are friends now, and you must not do anything to pit friends, this is a matter of character - who will dare to cooperate with you when it spreads? Even if there is, will you guard against each other in the team all day long? What other big things can you do?
Of course, by the way, he will continue to expand his fame through "Shiqi", and he can also turn two desirable companions to open another show, develop long-term, fully accumulate strength and contacts, and make preliminary preparations for the sky-high price in the future.
When he said this, Iori Murakami trusted him as a person, so he was relieved, and said with a smile: "Then I'll drag it out on the formation committee first, and then help you fight for a significant increase in the salary and share amount when the temporary contract is about to expire, huh...... There is also a house, I remember that there seems to be a batch of apartments in the station that cannot be sold, not far from the TV station, help you live in a room, the kind without rent, and it is convenient to come and go. ”
Rin Chihara nodded and smiled, "Then I'll wait for your good news." "This female producer is really reliable, she is too careful, has a good attitude, and knows how to think about others, I really don't know what those who look down on her think.
"Alright, you keep busy, I'm leaving. "Iori Murakami got up and left, stopping Rin Chihara from sending him off - this screenwriter is really good, and he keeps writing and writing every day, which is really reassuring.
The matter of the contract change was decided for the time being, and when it was at the end of March and the beginning of April, Rin Chihara was put aside, just waiting for Murakami Iori to help him get the contract signed and sealed.
He really didn't have the idea of leaving Tokyo to broadcast TEB, the situation of the big TV stations in this book is the same, and they are also in a wonderful state of cooperation while fighting each other, such as a very tacit understanding to suppress the salary of actors together - after the development of the Internet, the actors of this book looked at the salary of Chinese actors and burst into tears, everyone is an actor, why do you make a film that tops us for ten years, and everyone's acting skills are similar!
Therefore, if you go to other TV stations, you may not be able to get better treatment, and if you don't know what, there will be some cats and dogs, which will make it even more uncomfortable, so it is better to stay here honestly, at least there is some accumulation here.
He turned the shorthand book back to the previous page, and continued to secretly do his private work, at present, "Shiqi" has only aired eight episodes, but it is already filming the eleventh episode, and there is not much work left before the end of the season, he has entered a relatively idle period, there are not many scripts to write, and more time is spent on sorting out the memories of another world - he can recall basically all the things he can recall are written down, which is sorting out and supplementing.
As soon as he picked up the pen and wrote a few words, Iori Murakami fell back again, holding on to the screen and smiled: "Forgot one thing, Chihara, do you have time at night?"
Chihara Rin quickly flipped the notebook to the blank page again, and asked a little strangely, "If you have time, do you want to have a meeting?"
"No, it's the ITE brokerage company that wants to invite us to dinner, do you want to go? ”
Rin Chihara recalled that this seemed to be a well-known big brokerage company in the industry, and asked casually, "Are you here to ask for a role?"
"Their eyelids are not so shallow, probably just to get to know each other and make a good relationship for the future. Murakami Iori is quite adaptable, she has participated in similar occasions before, but at that time she was a follower, and she couldn't speak, but now the situation is completely different, and she smiled directly: "It's okay to go, the audition is still business, it's a free meal, and there are gifts to take - do you want to relax?"
Chihara Rin understands, this is to ask for an actor who uses them first under the same conditions, it's not too much, but he is not interested in this kind of occasion, as long as you have achievements, there will be many such people in the future, and he directly refused: "I'm not going, you can go with Fujii-kun"
"Okay then!" Murakami Iori didn't force him, he just had something good to call him, and he turned around and was about to leave, but as soon as he turned around, he ran into Michiko, and couldn't help laughing: "Michiko-chan, you're here?"
Michiko bowed and greeted with a sweet smile: "Miss Murakami, hello!"
Iori Murakami touched her little head, loved it, smiled and said "really good" and left, while Michiko changed her face as soon as she passed by, and her little face was longer than that of a donkey.
She pulled a donkey's face into the back of the screen, bowed and said, "Master, I haven't greeted you for a long time, it's rude." ”
"It's nothing, is this the end of filming?" Rin Chihara is not surprised, he allows Michiko to relax here, and he doesn't need her to smile and smile all day long.
"After the shooting, I can rest for a few days. Michiko took off her small bag and hung it on the screen, but looked at the desk and hesitated - Rin Chihara occupied her desk, and Rin Chihara had a computer on her desk, and she didn't know if she could go over.
Chihara Rin looked amused, and pointed casually: "Anyway, you also read comics, go sit over there, I want to write something here." ”
"Yes, Master. Michiko answered and went over and sat down, looking at the screensaver spinning around on the computer and was very curious, and asked casually, "Master, do you have time tomorrow night?"
"What's wrong?"
"My mother wants to invite you to dinner, saying that I didn't come to study on time, wasted your good intentions, and wanted to make amends. ”
Rin Chihara didn't stop writing, and asked with a smile, "What does she actually want to do?"
"Excuse me, didn't the newspaper say that you are a genius in night dramas, and she hopes to let me star in the second season. "Michiko is of the same mind as her master, and she sold her mother's true intentions without even thinking about it," she planned to order the best kaiseki restaurant, and she was about to hemorrhage. ”
"There's no need, your strength is normal and you will definitely pass the audition, Murakami likes you very much. ”
"She wanted a good script, the main character, the one that suited me, the kind that could be brilliant. Michiko poked the geometric circles on the screen like a curious kitten, but when she touched the mouse, the picture on the screen suddenly changed, startling her - she had seen computers, but she had never played so closely, and personal computers were still a rarity at this time, especially since she had a lot of classes, and even if she did, she didn't have time to play with them.
But she didn't stop, and continued: "She was not very satisfied with the two dramas filmed some time ago, saying that there was no room for performance, and I was a vase in it, which could not attract widespread attention, and it was not as good as the first episode of your "Wonderful World Story...... That, Master, what is this thing for?"
"Then you tell her I've been busy lately, and I'll talk about it later. "Chihara Rin is not interested in dealing with the drill camp of Ryoko in the south, so it is better to do more of his own business when he has that time.
He got up and went to the computer, opened a "little game" for her, practiced typing, the picture quality is very scummy, it is a group of alien flying saucers flying in the sky, with a letter or fifty tones on the body, you can hit the corresponding key to knock the flying saucer down, you can also adjust the difficulty, from pseudonyms to complete words and sentences.
At that time, he proposed to buy a typing practice software, which was cheap, but he didn't expect the clerk to install this thing for him, which was barely usable, but Michiko was very interested, and after listening to Chihara Rin to explain it to her, she looked up at the screen, looked down at the keyboard, carefully typed a few times, and then looked surprised.
Rin Chihara smiled slightly, children like to play this kind of mentally handicapped game!
He didn't bother the little poor relaxed, and went back to work - maybe he should spend two or three thousand yen to buy a game and put it up?
