Chapter Seventy-Three: There is still a week left before the spring file
In order to lay a good foundation for "Human Observation", Chihara Rin didn't have the slightest idea of hiding it, he knew everything, he said everything, only the large whiteboard was full of six large pieces, dozens of sketches, and more than 100 were listed, and the auxiliary creative team looked at these things, and was convinced, even if he was a little careful, he directly threw it aside - too fine, worthy of being a guy specially invited back by the high-level, there are indeed two brushes, and he has thought of everything that people can think of, and he can't accept it.
In order to be in a hurry, Rin Chihara was not polite, and directly put forward a series of brain ideas:
"What should I do if I go to meet my girlfriend's parents for the first time, and my girlfriend's father is a great boss?"
"The boyfriend my daughter brought back is an old man, should I bless him?"
"When a little girl suddenly appears in the house that only he can see, how will the male owner react?"
"The husband accidentally owes a huge amount of money because he is a guarantor, will the wife get angry?"
"Mom and wife cook the same dish, and when you eat it, you will say who makes it delicious?"
“......”
Including the series that Iori Murakami told me before, the program concept proposed by Rin Chihara is enough to shoot twenty episodes, and then the auxiliary creative team discusses the details, feasibility, selects the best of the best, and designs the script, and Rin Chihara also learns from the experience of later generations, and has corresponding designs for layout planning, picture dubbing, sound and coloring, especially "instant response of small window guests" has made strict requirements.
"Instant response of small window guests" is also called "Wipe performance" in the industry - because it is fake, it is called a performance, and the expressions of the guests are all recorded separately.
This is a feature of this variety show, and it can be regarded as a vice.
Under normal circumstances, with the broadcast of the main content of the variety show, a small window will be opened on the normal screen, and the guests' "Wipe performance" will be put into it to increase the fun and interactivity, and this situation will work wonders if it is done well, and if it is not done well, it will make the audience very disgusted - what are we looking for? As soon as the four small windows are opened, a small half of the serious programs are blocked, are we specifically watching these people laugh?
But sometimes the program team has no choice, if you invite these guests to come, people also have other requirements in addition to the salary, the most important thing is to seek exposure, often the contract requires how many seconds they must show their faces in each episode, so the program team has to find a way to let these people take turns to appear on the camera, and as a result, it often gets too hot and forms a major tumor in variety shows.
It's not that it's unnecessary, it's less interesting and more annoying.
Chihara Rin is very wary of this, this is a huge disgust point for more than 80% of the audience census in later generations, and said hello in advance, so that the auxiliary creative team should pay more attention, especially when asking Murakami Iori to find a host and fixed guests, pay extra attention to the contract requirements, and would rather pay more money than accidentally let his own program also open four "skylights" - two at most, and it can't be continuous, just keep one normally.
When doing a show, the audience's feelings come first, and everything else stands aside. We are an "amateur variety show", the host and guests are just for the show, you just take the money, don't rush to show your face all day long, you are not the protagonist, just responsible for the icing on the cake.
As for another cancer of Japanese variety shows, that is, "Eh's Warrior", this Rin Chihara didn't care much.
Because the variety show studio is recorded separately, the host and guests are acting in the stands, and it is often difficult to invest in real feelings, and often make the expressions and tones super exaggerated, and it is rare for such a thing as "knowing a smile" to happen.
On the contrary, in order to show surprise and show that he is really working hard, usually "eh, eh, eh, eh" is endless, sometimes up to more than ten seconds, and the staff in charge of audio editing in the later stage gave these teases such a nickname.
This overseas audience looks very annoying, how surprised are these guys who have never seen the world? But it is okay to say that the local area is okay, because the audience here is used to "reading the air for the sake of reading the air", and they usually think that this is to save face, which can only be regarded as a moderate exaggeration, and the degree of acceptance is quite high, so there is no need to pay much attention to it.
There is a needle of the sea god here in the creative group, everything is in order, the progress is fast, some normal creative groups need to discuss things for three days, he did it in thirty minutes, showing the rogue nature of the traverser, and Murakami Iori's casting and forming a working group are also unusually fast, mainly because of money.
Ayumi Shiga is a short and dumpty man who keeps his promises, and although he is very busy with work, even Corporal Reixian can't come here every day to brush the bristles of the two newly deceived calves and feed soybeans, he expresses enough sincerity with the budget - Murakami Iori, after determining the scale of "Human Observation", ruthlessly submits a high budget of 9 million yen per episode to the compilation committee.
It's really high, after all, they are an "amateur variety show", and they have no plans to invite stars at present, and generally the hosts and guests of this kind of show are all entertainers, basically all of them are cheap, and there is no way to compare with serious actors, she is ready to bargain for nine million episodes, and give the compilation committee a chance to cut a few million.
Chihara Rin thinks she's doing a good job, this kind of scheming is nothing, and when she turns around and cuts it to five or six million per episode, they still have a good budget.
is like a variety show in later generations, a relatively cheap type of semi-reality show and half variety show like "Follow to Your Home", as long as a host, a small team of cameramen and sound collection and the post-production department of the production bureau are enough, and the production fee is only one million yen per episode in the nineties, and it can't be used if it's not good;
More expensive, such as in-studio talk shows, such as "The World Pine Nut Doesn't Know" and "The Poisonous Tongue Team", you have to invite popular guests, and sometimes you have to invite a lot of guests, and the production cost fluctuates quite much, but after deducting the in-studio investment in the early stage, generally three million yen is enough to get an episode;
is a little more expensive, like theirs, a daily outing, a program with a relatively large expenditure on props, five or six million yen per episode can definitely be done decently, and it will not be picked out too much of a problem;
And the most expensive is just a show like "Ah Q Adventure" that is running around the world, and the production cost of this kind of episode is about 10 million yen, which is basically the same as the shooting cost of a single episode of a general TV series.
In other words, the price that Iori Murakami asked for, in fact, was basically enough for them to go overseas to shoot a show in this year, and it was considered that they wanted a snake to swallow an elephant - it was not counted after 2010, when the production fee was usually doubled a few times, such as "Ah Q Adventure", such as "Ah Q Adventure", you don't have twenty or thirty million yen, don't go out, just go around the book honestly.
But Murakami Iori submitted the budget, and it didn't take an hour and a half to approve it, nine million yen is not less at all, Murakami Iori was really moved, and took the budget list to Chihara Rin to see, and sighed: "Chihara, although we are a training team in this show, we must do a good job." ”
She has the feeling that she is dying for a confidant, it is really not an exaggeration, she has never enjoyed this kind of treatment, and she is really excited.
Chihara Rin didn't expect that the main work of the compilation committee was the card budget, which was a big source of power for them, and these people were so happy, it was obvious that Shiga Ayumi had said hello in advance and communicated to a certain extent in private - this is a good suite, and improving personal treatment are two different things.
The production bureau has its own set of operating rules, and the formation committee of the Kanto United can't think of a monolith, and Shiga Ayumi is also endorsing their program, in case the program is bloody, he will suffer a lot of losses in terms of personal prestige and right to speak.
This is an invisible favor!
Chihara Rin is also knowledgeable, the so-called peach is reciprocated, and he understands this truth, and immediately nodded seriously: "Of course, our pursuit will not change, of course the show must be done well." ”
Even if it's not just a favor, the program that trains the new team must do it well, strive for good results, otherwise he won't be able to train a good team, and he is also confident, he didn't pay much attention to this aspect before, but recently I took a closer look to know that now it's really too far from the era when variety shows are king, and the current variety show model is generally not good, and there is still a little distance from seeking innovation and change - the current variety show with the best ratings is a guessing program on Sakurajima TV.
Of course, you can't underestimate the small game of "guessing fans", this show is quite popular, and the audience is very interactive, and the audience also likes to watch celebrities, politicians, and celebrities show their smart side or stupid side, and the aesthetics and ugliness are perfectly integrated, and the ratings are very good.
It's just that variety shows still can't be compared with national hot dramas, the current ratings of variety shows are generally low, and the production bureau's requirements for ratings are also low, for example, the passing line of TV dramas in the same period is 15%, then 10% of variety shows is OK, and the degree of attention is obviously one level lower - the forced level of variety shows is low, which cannot cause widespread social repercussions, and the increase in performance is not as high as that of national hot dramas, and it can't be the face of the TV station, it is really a pure entertainment program, far from the time of crazy investment.
Therefore, even if it is a vegan variety show, the preparation time is a little shorter, and Rin Chihara also thinks that "Human Observation" can go up and play a dozen, at least the ratings will not be too ugly.
Their good duo sighed a few words about the high budget, felt that they were finally living a good life, and immediately went into work separately, while Iori Murakami had money and easy to do, the production bureau also supported her, and her organizational skills were strong enough, so she quickly made an extremely bloated working group - after the filming of this show was finished, she wanted to draw the best part of the people in it to the summer big production as the backbone, and the rest of the people with slightly weaker ability will continue to do "Human Observation".
And as time passed, the program planning room was turned into a large warehouse full of waste paper and garbage by Rin Chihara, with whiteboards in it horizontal and vertical, many entries modified beyond recognition, and models scattered around, and the walls were plastered with planning and program points, and they didn't dare to let ordinary people clean them, and many things that needed to be discarded were temporarily piled up in the corners.
And Iori Murakami also completed the casting work, and invited a currently popular entertainment group to serve as the host, with three men and two women as regular guests, according to the standard combination of a funny, a handsome guy, an old man, a beauty, and an ugly girl, and then handed it over to Rin Chihara, and asked Rin Chihara to set up characters for them and design exclusive lines and stalks.
The studio is also working overtime to decorate, it is basically ready, and all kinds of special shooting equipment are also available, on the day of the broadcast of the twelfth episode of "Wonderful Things of the World", Iori Murakami gave an order, and "Human Observation" officially started filming!
There is still more than a week to go before the spring file in April, and it can barely be regarded as catching up, and Rin Chihara attaches great importance to the first start of filming, and follows with a shorthand book as usual.
