Chapter 207: What drama should I choose for a big production
The purpose of holding the celebration party is mainly to let the crew relax a little, after all, they have been working at high intensity for three months, and the people of Chihara Rin are strict and strict, not to mention whether they are tired or not, the mental pressure is still very great - the time is in September, except for "Cold and Warm World" (this is an annual drama), the first season of each drama has basically been filmed, and it stands to reason that it is time for a holiday, but unfortunately it is not possible, preparations for the next season will be carried out soon, and it is impossible to have a holiday, only a party.
Iori Murakami chartered a large banquet hall of a luxury hotel and held a large buffet, which not only was basically attended by all the crew members, but also the main actors, representatives of advertisers, and even some uninvited guys, such as guys from the Kanto United Television Operations Department and some newspaper reporters.
In the past, the US military stationed in Japan used to do this in the cafeteria, and I said that I can be regarded as having a good example. After the 90s, smaller gatherings continued to follow the tradition, and large gatherings were usually in the form of a buffet – with a band, a stage, trained waiters, bartenders, and chefs who made haute sushi on site, and even three champagne towers in the middle of the venue.
In short, it is called "cold lunch", but it is not a group of people standing stupid, it is still quite luxurious, and it costs no less money, which also makes the atmosphere very lively.
As the core member of the team, Rin Chihara naturally quickly fell into social interaction after the party began, and it took him a long time to get out, but he was not annoyed, this is also part of the job! If it helps the work, he doesn't mind talking nonsense at all and giving some smiles.
The banquet that started at seven o'clock, he could take a breather at nine o'clock, and as soon as he found an inconspicuous corner to sit down, Michiko came over with food and drink, and said with concern: "Master, let's eat something!"
She stared at it for a long time, but unfortunately she couldn't save Rin Chihara from the crowd, and waited until this time, and she was followed by her friend, the yellow dog named "Xiaolong" - this dog was able to attend the banquet because of the special situation, and it was also the "actor" in "Homeless Child", and this party was nominally to celebrate the show's timeshare average rating exceeded 30%, so naturally it should have its place.
Dogs belong to dogs, but they also contributed to the ratings, and they are also heroes, even more than the credit of ordinary staff - the stills are Michiko holding it for her life, which is very deceiving some people's tears.
Chihara Rin was indeed hungry, and reached out to take the sushi, and Michiko sat beside him with a sweet smile, holding her cheeks to watch him eat, and by the way, she secretly looked at his left wrist and found that she was wearing a watch she gave, and couldn't help but smile even happier.
Rin Chihara immediately noticed it, raised his wrist to look at his watch, and smiled, "Isn't it handsome that Master wears it?"
This watch is a birthday gift from Michiko last month.,His birthday has passed.,But because I've been too busy with work recently.,Just a few gifts from close friends are over.,I didn't even care about longevity noodles.,Inexplicably a year older - his real age is actually two years younger than the original owner.。
Mei Qianzi was very well-behaved, and she praised the master's scene very much, and immediately shouted: "Of course, the master is the most handsome!" Her mouth has always been very sweet, almost like smeared honey, and then she said happily: "It's really good that Master likes it, I saw you not wearing it a while ago, I thought you didn't like it!"
After she finished speaking, she patted her little flat chest with her little hand, saying that she was relieved, it was very cute, and it made people feel very good when she saw it.
"How come, such an expensive watch, of course, you have to wear it on a formal occasion!" Chihara Rin also joked along with her words, in fact, he doesn't have the habit of wearing a watch, he still likes to use his mobile phone to see the time, he just crossed over and had no money, the first thing is to pawn the original owner's watch, if it weren't for today's occasion, it is estimated that he would still not wear it, but this doesn't need to be said to the little girl Mei Qianzi, after all, this is her filial piety!
This apprentice is still quite cute, not in vain!
Chihara Rin was talking and laughing while eating, and Michiko was happy to come to him, staying with him here, and from time to time to help him get some food and drink, so that he wouldn't be pestered again when he wandered around the hall.
The band played soft music, and many people were standing or sitting chatting, and when Chihara Rin had finally cushioned his stomach, Michiko took wet wipes from the small bag and gave him to wipe his hands.
Rin Chihara thanked him and took it, and took a closer look at Michiko by the way.
She is also one of the protagonists today, wearing a chiffon dress, black hair and bright teeth, a little red face, looking very good, probably these three months have been really happy, and she is not ready to blacken at all.
I really did the right thing, I should have saved a child, right?
Rin Chihara was very pleased, and at this time Iori Murakami came over with a glass of champagne, obviously there was something to talk about, Michiko immediately said goodbye in a witty way, and then went to another place - she just came here to serve her master for dinner, nothing else.
Iori Murakami has always liked Michiko, smiled and touched her little head, watched her lead the dog to the ice cream and yogurt machine, turned around and sat down, smiled at Rin Chihara and asked, "Are you really going to let her shoot a second season?"
"Nope. ”
Iori Murakami regretted: "The response to this drama has been very good, it's a pity not to shoot a second season...... If it's inconvenient, I can do it for you. ”
Chihara Rin smiled: "It's better not to persuade her, let her make her own decision, it's rare for her to make a decision for herself." ”
According to the agreement, after Michiko finished filming "Homeless Child", she will publicly announce her retirement and bid farewell to the entertainment industry completely. Of course, it's a bit of a pity, it's a complete waste of her acting talent, and it stands to reason that she should be persuaded, but Rin Chihara doesn't want to do it, and she doesn't want to change Michiko's mind......
If she can figure it out by herself and doesn't want to retire, then of course it's good, she can play whatever she wants, and her apprentice must take care of it more, there is nothing to say about this, otherwise she will do it according to her request in advance, and her life is up to her.
Rin Chihara didn't want to talk about this too much, so he looked left and right and asked, "Where is Hitomi?"
Murakami Iori still felt that it was a pity, but she didn't say anything more, and smiled at his words: "What about bragging with Yoshizaki and Tsumura!" Then she also looked around and asked, "What about Miss Nishijima and Shiraki-kun?"
They held a buffet, and they had a rough division of labor in advance and divided into two groups, but at this time everyone was separated, and Rin Chihara replied directly: "Miss Nishijima is entertaining the people in the sales department for me, Shiraki-kun...... I don't know where to go. ”
Bai Mu Guima blended into the crowd and disappeared in a blink of an eye, he didn't have a trick for this, probably where to talk to people, I guess I didn't find this side for a while. There were many more people attending the banquet than expected, hundreds of people were divided into nearly a hundred small circles, and it was not as easy as imagined to find people.
Iori Murakami also had no choice, Shiraki Katsuma's automatic stealth disease was not easy to treat, so he just ignored him, raised his glass and smiled: "Congratulations, Chihara, the third national hot drama." ”
"Homeless Child" ranked first on this season's hit list, swept the works of the same season, and added another dazzling star to Rin Chihara's record, which is indeed worth congratulating, and Rin Chihara raised his glass to meet her and said with a smile: "I didn't do it alone, I want to congratulate you." ”
Murakami Iori took a sip of wine and said with a smile: "That's what I said, but Chihara, I can't do without me, I can't do without you......" After a pause, she looked at the hall from the corner, looked at the bustling crowd, and sighed: "I can't believe it, in less than two years, you have already made three national hit dramas!"
Chihara Rin took a sip of iced tea, saying that there was wine in this iced tea, he felt the feeling of numbness on the tip of his tongue, and also looked at the hall, and said softly: "It's really not easy, but it's nothing, there will be more in the future, now is our best era!"
"The best era?" Iori Murakami gave him a strange look, "It's getting better and better every year, and the audience base is getting bigger and bigger, so it's too early to say the best era, right?"
Rin Chihara smiled and took another sip of iced tea, not refuting anything.
I will be happy for another six or seven years, when the Internet dominates the entertainment industry, TV audiences run faster than one another, there is no loyalty at all, all the special refuge in mobile phones and computers, and later generations of TV sets are just a decoration, some people can't turn on three times a year.
Murakami Iori couldn't imagine the scene a few years later, and didn't think that the trend of the times would change so quickly, but when he said the wrong thing, he didn't take it to heart, but became even more excited, and asked with a smile: "This season is probably like this, so the next season will work as planned?" Or wait another season and stabilize it?"
Rin Chihara had already thought about this problem, and said directly: "The results are better than expected, the pilot drama has almost paved the way, and the next season can be directly forced!"
"I think so too, so what about these current shows?"
"It's basically formalized, just let each crew be responsible for themselves. "Chihara Rin has a lot in his heart, such as "Xiang Bang" and other dramas, the main and supporting characters have been set up, and the main tone has been set, and the rest is nothing more than writing episodes step by step, shooting and broadcasting normally, you don't need to worry much about it, then adjust the personnel, the episode will be promoted to the second main creator, the assistant screenwriter will be promoted to the episode screenwriter, the executive director will be promoted to the director, the second season will change the soup without changing the medicine, and then shoot!
Don't ask them to create better results, as long as they maintain the current audience group, do a good job as a pioneer for big-budget new dramas, and provide a certain audience base for the main force.
Iori Murakami completely listened to Rin Chihara's opinions in terms of creation, just like Rin Chihara would not interfere with how she managed the budget and promoted the operation, and immediately began to ponder personnel adjustments along his train of thought, and asked casually: "Then how many new dramas will be opened in the next season?"
"Three or four, I still have to think about this. Rin Chihara muttered, "Let's press three parts first." ”
"Then do a promotion of the main personnel positions, the executive director to the director, and then transfer Yoshizaki and Miyawaki out. Murakami Iori thought about it and said, "If "Homeless Child" is not going to shoot the second season, Natsumura and Shiraki can also be vacated...... In terms of the working group, each crew will produce a group of skilled people, and then absorb the manpower in the crew in the original period, and bring new hands with skilled hands, it should be no problem, and some people will be drawn out of "Human Observation" if it is still less. ”
Rin Chihara felt that this arrangement was fine, but asked, "Is there still enough people on the side of "Human Observation" that can be transferred?"
"Human Observation" is the "base" for their team to train newcomers, but it feels like it's not good to draw blood all the time, and it doesn't seem good if it is pumped to death, after all, this is also a show with more than 20% ratings, which is still very helpful for competing for the season crown, and it can't be completely ignored whether it is dead or alive.
Iori Murakami knew in his heart: "Yes, at the beginning of this season, I picked out the people in the shows we replaced and added them to "Human Observation", which is almost ready now." ”
Chihara Rin nodded, this kind of personnel arrangement, Murakami Iori said that there is no problem, then there must be no problem, anyway, as long as the creative team and working group are set up, it can be used for him to do his work, he doesn't care about anything else, just added: "I've been taking her for three months in Nishijima, and she's a guy with brains, so let's use her too!"
"Miss Nishijima?" Iori Murakami was stunned for a moment, and muttered, "She's from the Gotokyo faction, let her meddle in our practice, will Director Shiga have an opinion?"
"It's okay, the main thing is that I need you to care more about the big production of new dramas, and the production and publicity of the old dramas will be handed over to her to be in charge of, and report directly to you or me. "Chihara Rin doesn't care about the faction at all, whoever can do the job well will use whom, Nishijima Rumi has a good work ability, and is obedient and obedient to orders, and can endure hardships more, he is more optimistic.
Murakami Iori thought for a while, didn't object, and asked again, "Is there anyone else who has a special arrangement?"
"Raise Ah Hitomi to the next level, and there is an assistant screenwriter named Tomohisa Mita in the crew of "Xiangbang", transfer him out, I am going to let Bai Mu take care of the old drama more, the new drama needs a new assistant, that person is very careful in doing things, so use him. ”
Add another screenwriter assistant to Rin Chihara, this Murakami Iori has no opinion, let alone one, you can add three or five, but it doesn't seem to be suitable for Konoe Hitomi's side.
She hesitated: "Why do you suddenly want to upgrade Hitomi, she is our own person, it's okay to take care of her privately, but her ability ......"
Rin Chihara took out a roll of paper from the oral mouth, handed it to Iori Murakami, and sighed: "I used to underestimate her, this guy is really a bit talented in variety shows." ”
This is a project written by Hitomi Konoe.,She completed it as a homework.,And she's a rough person.,A good book in her pocket every day makes it look like a roll of toilet paper.,Murakami Iori took it over and opened it.,I found that the project was called "Bloody Baseball.。
The plan is very detailed, but to put it simply, Konoe Hitomi wants to organize a special baseball game, and both teams are composed of well-known actors, and they are also co-ed, not to be fierce, just to have fun.
Of course, she is crazy about the popularity of baseball, brainless to a certain extent, and she just wants to extract ratings from baseball fans, but after watching it, Chihara Rin has to admit that this fool has rubbed a new height - with this thing reminding, he suddenly remembered that there was really this kind of baseball game in his original world, but it was after the rise of the second idol trend, which is the famous "Idol Baseball War".
The idols of the men's group and the women's group got together to play baseball and show the other side of the idol, which is a big innovation in the idol industry, completely getting rid of the old routine of selling meat, selling cuteness and coolness, sunny and hot-blooded, very fan-attracting fans, and the ratings were very hot at that time - it was very popular in Yuben, most other countries have no love for baseball, and this show is almost no well-known after leaving Yuben.
Now Hitomi Konoe has planned it more than ten years in advance, whether this show is suitable for now, and whether it can be successful or not to replace idols with actors, this shows that she is really thinking about it and is really doing a good job as a screenwriter - she has designed a lot of bridges and let the actors perform various variety effects, it looks pretty good, funny, bloody and even tears, obviously in the past month, she has been studying this thing for the past month.
So, with this heart, Chihara Rin felt that she should be promoted to a higher level, and the burden should be added, maybe this silly girl from the fishing village can really create some miracles - let her write the script properly, she definitely can't now, the screenwriter needs life experience, she is completely lacking in this thing now, but let her engage in variety shows, her simple optimism is really a bit suitable, probably because she herself is a little funny?
After reading it, Iori Murakami also thought it was good, understood what Rin Chihara meant, and nodded: "Then let her be in charge of "Human Observation" a little more, and by the way, you can draw another skilled screenwriter from the crew." ”
This project is not needed at the moment, this does not fit the tone of "Human Observation", it can be regarded as written in vain, but this can reflect the ability of Konoe Hitomi, at least it is worth giving her more chances.
Chihara Rin smiled, and then continued to discuss with Murakami Iori, and when everything was basically confirmed, he took a sip of iced tea, and looked at the happy crowd and began to be distracted!
After three months of preparation, the next thing is the main event, it's time to try to compete for the season crown, what drama should be chosen for the big production, it will take a few days to think about it!
