Chapter Seventy-Eight: Crew Meeting (1)
When: March 16th
Location: TBS TV in Akasaka, Minato-ku, Tokyo
Character: Kiyoshi Sakamoto
Kiyoshi Sakamoto, who was standing in front of the TBS Broadcasting Center building, looked at the new group logo printed on the surface of the main body of the building, "People", which was activated by the Tokyo Broadcasting Group.
"It's pretty creative. With the whisper, Kiyoshi Sakamoto walked in, one of the five major private wireless TV stations of RB, TBS TV.
TBS's slogan is: NO TV, BUT TBS!
Kiyoshi Sakamoto walked into the lobby of the TV station and saw the display screen in the lobby showing the season's hit series, and the tidbits from the winter TV series "The Tragedy of M", which was broadcast in January, were playing.
This TBS winter drama "The Tragedy of M", on the twentieth of this month, is ready to broadcast the final episode.
This is a human drama with suspenseful reasoning, the story in the early stage is too slow, making it difficult for the audience to understand and unacceptable, but as the plot progresses slowly, the "fog" of the story slowly dissipates, and the plot becomes very exciting in the later stage.
Compared with "Unpleasant Gene" and "Emergency Ward 24 Hours 3" in the same schedule, although the overall ratings of this drama are not ideal, the word of mouth is far better.
And after the end of the winter drama "The Tragedy of M", the spring drama "Bonding Love" will be taken over, and after the spring drama "Bonding Love" is broadcast, the autumn drama "Dragon Sakura" should be taken over.
After Kiyoshi Sakamoto knew that he was going to star in a TBS TV series, he also learned about this through online searches and various channels, TBS TV, one of RB's five major private wireless TV stations.
Because the schedule of TV dramas is generally on a certain day of the seven days of the week, in RB, they will not call Monday Monday, but will call Monday the day of the moon.
From Monday to Sunday, the corresponding names are the moon day, the fire day, the water day, the wood sun, the golden day, the earth day, and the sun day.
Therefore, the famous Fuji TV monthly nine drama is the corresponding broadcast schedule, at nine o'clock in the evening on Monday, the office worker who just got off work returned home, and the housewives who made dinner, it was also at this time that the TV was turned on.
Therefore, the broadcast time at this point in time is generally called the golden theater, and it is also the prime time for TV broadcasting.
There was still an hour before the agreed meeting time of the crew, and Kiyoshi Sakamoto had already come to the agreed conference room, waiting for the arrival of the crew.
After all, as a newcomer who starred in a TV series for the first time, he couldn't help but do a good job in etiquette, and if he was late or something, he might directly lose all the roles.
Therefore, it is necessary to come over in advance.
Ten minutes later, just as Kiyoshi Sakamoto was sitting alone in the conference room, Kiyoshi Sakamoto saw the leader, a middle-aged man with glasses, and several middle-aged men behind him, who seemed to be holding something in their hands, walked in.
The middle-aged man who walked in at the lead was wearing glasses, with a kind face and a slightly chubby figure, and those who didn't know thought that this middle-aged man was one of RB's tens of millions of office workers.
But Sakamoto Kiyoshi knew that this was the screenwriter who chose Sakamoto Kiyoshi to play the role of Ogata Yingxi, Qin Jianri.
Qin Jianri is a graduate of the Faculty of Law of Waseda University, and among his many identities is a novelist, playwright, a member of the RB Playwrights Union, and a member of the RB Mystery Writers Association.
This is a well-known screenwriter in the TV drama industry, who has created the popular TV series "Little Kyoto Reasoning", the Fuji TV series "World Wonderful Story", and Kimura Okami's super popular drama "HERO" is also written by this Qin Jianri.
Of course, this year's "Dragon Sakura" is also written by this screenwriter of Qin Jianri.
Interestingly, in the RB TV drama industry, the status of the screenwriter is much higher than that of the director, and the sense of presence is also much higher.
This is because RB TV series are generally short and capable, and in just a dozen episodes, they often want to attract the attention of the audience, and they must work the plot.
And the picture or something, for a TV series that is not very well funded, it is definitely impossible to make a movie like a movie, so much sculpting the scene and picture, then only on the plot, the next hard work.
And the plot of the TV series is grasped and directed by the screenwriter.
Therefore, the director's job is only to grasp the lens and angle, so that the picture of the whole TV series looks closer to the plot requirements of the screenwriter, that is to say, the work of the picture is to serve the plot.
In some dramas, after the whole drama, there may be several directors to shoot, but the screenwriter has always remained the same.
This is the importance of screenwriters in TV dramas.
In the final analysis, it is because RB TV series pay more attention to the script, while the movie values the director's direction and picture.
Kiyoshi Sakamoto was originally sitting on the chair, but after seeing the person who came in, he immediately stood up, bowed to the person who came, and said, "Hello, I'm Kiyoshi Sakamoto from Sony, please give me a lot of advice." ”
The few people who had just come in were all surprised that Sakamoto Qing came over so early, and Qin Jianri, who was in the lead, first looked at the clock hanging on the wall, and then said in a relaxed tone, "Yo, why did Sakamoto-kun come so early? There is still more than half an hour before our meeting begins." ”
Kiyoshi Sakamoto first bent up, and then replied very seriously, "It's better to be a little early, and you're here so early, I can't come later than you." ”
Hearing Sakamoto Kiyoshi's face-saving answer, Qin Jianri was also very useful, after all, the young man in front of him was the current trend in the RB entertainment industry.
"Haha, no, because we happened to be discussing the preparations for the pre-shooting, we happened to be on TBS's side, so it was a little early, and you actors didn't have to come so early. Qin Jian's tone and attitude made Sakamoto Qing feel more kind.
While talking, the two of them who sat down began to chat.
"It's okay, I'll come early, and I'll get to know you sooner. Kiyoshi Sakamoto said.
"Oh, what do you say?" Qin Jianri was very curious, what Sakamoto Kiyoshi meant by this.
"I heard from my agent, uncle, that you chose me to play the role of Hideki Ogata. Kiyoshi Sakamoto asked tentatively.
"yes, what's wrong?"
"I'm really scared, because I have no experience in TV series or movies before, as a newcomer, where did you see my shining point as an actor?"
Although Kiyoshi Sakamoto has not starred in any TV series or movies, in his own words, it is "this kind of acting skills, I go up to act better than him".
This usually appears when Kiyoshi Sakamoto complains when he watches TV series.
Sakamoto Kiyoshi is somewhat confident in his acting skills.,But I don't know if the self in my own eyes is the same as the self in the eyes of others.。。。
So Kiyoshi Sakamoto is very curious, as a famous screenwriter, Qin Jianri, is it really because of his potential as an actor that he chose to star in "Dragon Sakura"?
"Oh, this, I decided to choose you after seeing Sakamoto-kun's performance in the MV. Only then did Qin Jianri understand that Sakamoto Kiyoshi was a little unconfident in himself, in terms of acting skills.
"MV? Which MV are you talking about?" Since his debut, he has performed two MVs for his single and one MV for the band, and Kiyoshi Sakamoto has appeared in a total of three MVs.
The difference is that the MV of "Close Your Eyes" is a story MV performed by Kiyoshi Sakamoto and Yui Aragaki together, while the MV of "Flower" is only a three-person stage performance by the SUN band, mainly singing and stage performances, and the MV in "I'm Yours" is just a performance picture of Kiyoshi Sakamoto at the westlife concert, and there is no acting skills to speak of.
"Three. I've seen all three, and I think that Sakamoto-kun, your acting skills are still good, especially your stage performance and control, which can be applied to your acting skills, so you let me see the potential for success as an actor. Qin Jian's praise without hesitation made Sakamoto Qing a little dark.
When Sakamoto Qing heard Qin Jianri's praise, he stood up again and bowed to him to thank him.
"I really have a vision, this screenwriter uncle with a bit of a name, it's still okay, you can see that I, a talented actor, have a strong potential hidden in my body... Kiyoshi Sakamoto was secretly happy in his heart.
Seeing that Qin Jianri appreciated himself so much, Sakamoto Kiyoshi took the script and sat next to Qin Jianri, asking about the shortcomings of his performance, and what kind of role he needed to show in this play.
Qin Jianri was also very relieved to see Sakamoto Qing so attentive, after all, Sakamoto Qing was selected by him, if he was a newcomer who did not study seriously and attentively, Qin Jianri would definitely kick him out, there are not no actors, there are a lot of actors in major firms who have no acting.
However, Sakamoto Qing is so serious and attentive, which also makes Qin Jianri breathe a sigh of relief, and the more he looks at Sakamoto, the more pleasing it becomes.
So, before the protagonists and important supporting roles came, Qin Jianri began to talk to Sakamoto Kiyoshi first.
About half an hour later, Sakamoto, who had already communicated a lot with Qin Jianri, finally waited for the members of "Dragon Sakura".
Tuk tuk tuk ...
There was a knock at the door.
A young man with dyed blond hair, who was neither tall nor short, walked in with a "disturb" sound.
Sakamoto and Qin Jianri, as well as the staff in the conference room, all looked at the man at the door at the same time.
Handsome, this is what Qin Jianri and others think.
Non-mainstream, this is Kiyoshi Sakamoto's opinion.
It is none other than Genesys' new generation of students, members of the NEWS group, Tomohisa Yamashita!
In Sakamoto Kiyoshi's opinion, Yama P's appearance is still very handsome, but it's just the hairstyle...
However, in RB, washing, cutting and blowing hairstyles have always been a trend, and there is no way to do it.
After all, it is still rare to see a unique ball head like Kiyoshi Sakamoto.
