Yes, the radio drama that Ye Zhao plans to do is "Calling for Love at the Center of the World".

RB's home film market is generally very conservative, as evidenced by the long list of production committees that make a film. In addition, the entire market also tends to adapt works that already have a popular base, and it has never been very optimistic about pure originals that do not have the addition of original works.

This kind of disapproval not only comes from investors and producers, but also reflects it quite strongly at the audience's box office. Although in the world experienced by Ye Zhao, the movie "Calling for Love in the Center of the World" set a box office myth of 8.5 billion, but what contributed to this myth was the original novel that sold 1 million copies and later sold 3 million copies, as well as TBS's strategy of sparing no effort to promote and TV dramas and movies at the same time.

It is precisely because of this that although Ye Zhao wrote the script of "Calling Love in the Center of the World" early, he never listed it as the first shooting target in his heart. After all, to shoot this movie, there must be no less investment, and too much risk to bear.

If you reluctantly shoot it, it's like playing poker, someone else played a 6, but he played a small king.

But when the script appeared, looking at the results that he had worked so hard to achieve, even Ye Zhao had a pity to say that he had nothing to do at home to entertain himself. It was also at this time that the idea of making a radio drama also appeared in his mind.

The reason why this idea appeared is thanks to the TV series "Kanedaichi Juvenile Incident Book". The first is that the original comics of this TV series were originally written by the scriptwriter and then handed over to the cartoonist to draw them, rather than the cartoonist's own complete conception from beginning to end.

As for the second point, when he attended the Kanedaichi meeting for the second time, when he had a good conversation with Tsutsumi, he suddenly remembered a movie "Love Photo" filmed by Tsutsumi Yukihiko in 2003, after the release of this original screenplay, a writer named Takuji Ichikawa watched the movie and was very impressed, and after obtaining authorization, he wrote a novel called "Love Photo: Another Story" based on this movie.

Later, in 2006, the novel was re-adapted into the movie "Just Loving You" starring Hiroshi Tamaki and Aoi Miyazaki.

Although Ye Zhao can't write the original novel, he can also throw bricks and lead the jade and hand over this pen to others. And if you want to test the waters, the most suitable is undoubtedly a low-cost radio drama. If the radio drama can make a splash, then learn from the situation of "Love Photo" and choose the right writer for the novel adaptation.

……

RB's radio dramas have a long history and a considerable audience, so it's not something out of the ordinary to do this. Popular radio dramas will be released on CD after the broadcast. Most of the actors who dub radio dramas are specialized radio drama voice actors associated with the Broadcasting Bureau, and of course, voice actors, actors, and idols are also involved.

The format of the script is still very easy to read, and "Calling for Love at the Center of the World" itself is not an obscure story, so Takeda Jun turned the pages quickly, and read about a dozen pages in a short time.

It wasn't until Takeda Jun raised his head again that Ye Zhao asked, "What does Takeda Sang think?"

"I can't tell you how to structure the dialogue, but I want to read on every page. Toshitoshi Takeda said, "It's a good story from that point of view." ”

"In that case?"

"Well, this level of radio script should be enough. I'll help you go to the broadcasting bureau and ask about it later. Takeda Jun said loosely, "I didn't expect that Ye Jun even did a good job of scripting." ”

"If I wasn't a little sure, I wouldn't have dared to put forward the plan. Ye Zhao smiled, "Now Takeda-san should be a little more relieved about my filming, right?"

"Movies are movies, radio dramas are radio dramas, you can't mix them up, wait until you come up with the movie script, and then talk about that. Takeda Jun didn't eat Ye Zhao's set at all, "As for the radio script, it's useless if I say it's good, and I have to take it to the people who broadcast it to the bureau and then talk about it." However, which broadcasting bureau does Ye Zhaosang plan to cooperate with?"

"Is it possible for TBS RADIO?" Even if you don't mention the history that Ye Zhao experienced, the films, TV dramas, and radio dramas of "Calling for Love in the Center of the World" were all produced by TBS, and the mere fact that TBS RADIO was the No. 1 rated radio broadcaster in the Kanto region is enough to make people feel excited.

Takeda Jun showed a wry smile, "Ye Zhaosang, this probably won't work, right?TBS RADIO's schedule is very sought-after, even if you barely get it, the threshold fee and signing fee will have to be a lot of money." ”

"Yes. Ye Zhao nodded and calculated: "In the case of NHK, the threshold of the state-run station is definitely not so high, and the range of TOKYO FM is too small...... Takeda-san, can you talk about cultural broadcasting?"

"Well, let's give it a try. ”

"In short, let's prioritize cultural broadcasting, and if they refuse, think about others. ”

……

What are the benefits of opening a firm, give it to him if you say it right.

For Ye Zhao, the biggest advantage of opening a firm is, of course, time, effort and worry. Except for the key parts that must be handled by yourself, other things, as long as they are entrusted to their subordinates, can be run quickly and efficiently. is also a person who is determined to draw his own circle in the RB entertainment industry, and it would be too shabby if he had to run errands for everything.

In this way, after taking out the script, Ye Zhao became the shopkeeper and entrusted it to Jun Takeda, and he came forward to negotiate with the production staff in terms of cultural broadcasting.

Now that he has accepted the invitation of the broadcasting group of cultural broadcasting, the current Ye Zhao is also half of their own people, coupled with the topicality of his name now, when Takeda Jun sent the script over, the person in charge, Kaga Masataka, although hesitant, still took the script, ready to at least take a look at it patiently.

However, when he opened the script, just like Jun Takeda who read the script for the first time, he read more than a dozen pages out of control before he closed the book unsatisfied.

"This, is it really written by Ye Zhaosang?" Kaga Masataka was skeptical.

"Of course. Jun Takeda replied immediately, but in his heart, when he first read the script, his first reaction was the same.

Masataka Kaga sighed, "I really didn't expect it. ”

Radio dramas are mostly adapted on the basis of the original work. This adaptation may have been a spin-off of a radio drama after the success of the original work, or it may have been a test of the early popularity of the work, in short, due to the low cost of the radio drama, it has become a good way to promote it.

That said, there are no original radio scripts, but the starting point is a little lower. Of course, the slightly lower part, after this work was marked with Ye Zhao's name, quickly made up for this part of the shortcomings.

……

"So, the cultural broadcasting side agreed to cooperate?"

"Yes. But recently, there is no suitable schedule, and there is only one group that will be withdrawn from 3 to 5 o'clock on Friday morning. ”

"It's a terrible time slot, because the audience for this radio drama is skewed towards young people rather than older people who wake up early to listen to health broadcasts. ”

"If you wait until the time of the handover of the old and new schedules in October, there will be more options. ”

"October......" Ye Zhao thought about it, and finally decided: "October is October." Anyway, the radio drama is just to test the waters, and it doesn't matter if it's a little late, and then his main focus will still be on the preparation of the new album.

"In terms of radio drama production, which troupe does Ye Zhao want to entrust?"

"Well, don't bother the two masters, just hand it over to the dubbing troupe that works closely with cultural broadcasting. Ye Zhao thought for a while, "However, I have some other ideas about the selection of the hero and heroine." ”

"Another idea?" Takeda's eyebrows jumped.

Sure enough, Ye Zhao said slowly: "Zhutian-san, let's also have a selection." ”

"Selection?"

"That's right, that's right, in the way of selection, the voice candidates of the male and female protagonists in their teenage years are selected from ordinary teenagers and girls. The production cycle of radio dramas is a bit long, and a wide range of selections is not realistic, anyway, the radiation circle of cultural broadcasting is in the Kanto region, so let's issue a selection book for the Kanto circle. ”

"As for age, the hero and heroine are set to be seventeen years old, let's relax a little, it's fifteen to nineteen years old. Speaking of this, Ye Zhao suddenly thought, "But if you want to enable minors, considering the working hours of minors, you have to choose a higher time period...... Radio dramas, if they are recorded and broadcast, they are completely meaningless. ”

The so-called limit on working hours for minors refers to the RB law, which stipulates that artists under the age of 14 cannot work more than 8 p.m., and artists between the ages of 15 and 18 cannot work more than 10 p.m. Therefore, the late-night programs with underage artists are all recorded.

Even on occasions like the Red and White Songs, the performance time for minors is moved to before 9 o'clock, and some groups, such as AKB, should also leave the stage if their performance time is in the second half.

This working time limit for minors is a rule that no matter how popular a star is, it may be that child stars will be squeezed until 12 o'clock at night in places where the live broadcast camera can't be seen, but as long as they are on the live broadcast, they must abide by this rule, and TV stations and offices will not risk this big disapproval to defy the law. After all, even if the TV station turns a blind eye, the audience's complaints and the legendary-stirring stick of the civil censorship association will still blow up the complaint call in the first place.

"Ye Zhaosang, why do I think, you are going to mess around again?" Takeda Jun looked confused.

"What does it matter. I don't really want to do the selection for fun, it's just that from now until October, this cycle is too long, rather than wasting time in vain, it's better to make a name for yourself, just to build momentum for the radio drama. ”
