Chapter 23: Have You Ever Seen Tokyo at Four A.M.?
"Good...... All right. "Miscellaneous is miscellaneous work, Zhou Xiao didn't want to say that he could directly do important work when he came in, not to mention that he had no experience, even if he was asked to do something else, I am afraid he might not be able to do it well.
Zhou Xiao and Uncle Inoue walked into Fuji TV, and the two of them took the elevator to the third floor.
When he was on the first floor, Zhou Xiao felt that Fujitai was similar to other buildings, and the layout was relatively ordinary, because it was still very early, even the staff at the front desk did not come to the first half, and the only one on duty on the first floor was only two or three guards who stuck at the entrance. As soon as the elevator on the third floor opened, Zhou Xiao felt the difference between this place and other places. There are a lot of people on the third floor, and everyone who comes and goes seems to be busy with their own affairs, Zhou Xiao and Inoue entered a studio together, and the door of this studio is in a state of not being idle, after Zhou Hai and Inoue entered the studio, they saw a hot scene.
There were at least dozens of people walking around a studio, each seemingly busy with something.
There are six or seven cameras at a glance, and the three large cameras with slides under them are the main cameras, and there are several shoulder-mounted cameras piled up around them.
A short man with a stack of printed paper was working with the photographer to determine the location, six or seven people were carrying the set, the man in the jacket was talking to the people around him, and the man with the headset was checking with the studio upstairs and directing the placement of the items......
"Good...... It's amazing! Zhou Xiao said sincerely, although he was half of the entertainment industry practitioners in his previous life, he mainly did behind-the-scenes work at that time, and he had never been to this scene, not to mention that he was at the forefront of such a developed Japanese entertainment industry.
"You try to follow me today, remember not to say what you can't say, don't look at what you shouldn't see, pretend not to see if you accidentally see it, tell you to do what you do well, even if you do it well, sometimes you have to be scolded, don't hear it back at this time!?" Uncle Inoue's words can be described as harsh.
"Listen...... Heard it! Zhou Xiao hurriedly replied.
"Alas......" Inoue sighed: "I don't mean to scold you, it's really not easy to do the work in this industry, especially if you just start doing this business, you will know it after a day." "Inoue said.
"I worked in TV for a while about ten years ago, and I was very powerful at the time, and now I am even more powerful, but now I am a little unbearable to do this again." Uncle Inoue continued.
"So tired?" Zhou Xiao asked.
"You're completely fine, it's fine until you're thirty, and it's not until you're thirty years old that you're a little overwhelmed. Yes! Okada, Okada! Just as he was talking to Zhou Xiao, Uncle Inoue suddenly shouted to a man passing by.
The man, who appeared to have the surname Okada, seemed to be a small head, directing the work of several people.
"Ahh Inoue Junior~~~~ before! The man turned his head when he heard Inoue's shouts and shouted in a strange tone.
There is a strange habit in the Japanese entertainment industry, that is, some words will be read backwards, and the predecessors read it before they became adults, but this habit is actually a habit from many years ago, and this kind of expression is deliberately used, especially when there are no outsiders, who are basically showing their status.
"Okada, this is the little brother I am talking about! How about letting him do it for a few days? Inoue pulled Zhou Xiao and asked.
"Why not! Inoue seniors have said it, can I still not agree! But senior, I have to say it first, we all work in the TV station, you also know how neurotic this kind of place is, I'm just a little assistant, I can't give you any help, whether he can do it here, I don't count. ”
"I understand, you can rest assured that he will be assigned a job! He's not the kind of person who can't settle down. "Inoue said.
"It's good to have your words, senior, you go and do your business, just let him follow me!" Okada Road.
"Okay, I believe in you! Zhou Xiao, you will follow Okada today, you will do whatever he tells you to do, do you know diligently? "Inoue said.
"Haode Uncle Inoue, I know!" Zhou Xiao hurriedly replied.
After saying this, Inoue turned around and went to his boss.
"Let's go, come with me to the warehouse to get something first." Okada Road.
"Yes."
"Your name is Zhou Xiao? Chinese? ”
"Yes, it's called Zhou Xiao, and it's Chinese."
"How did you meet Uncle Inoue?"
"Some time ago, when Uncle Inoue was a theater manager, I was there as a comedy artist who had just debuted for a few days."
"Oh, it's you, I heard Inoue say that, although the guy in Sakaguchi is not very authentic, but this thing ...... There's no way, unless you really have cauliflower, otherwise the Japanese entertainment industry is like this, crushing people to death a year early in their debut. Come, carry these with me! Inoue took Zhou Xiao to take something from the warehouse and walked to the studio.
After the two of them returned to the studio, the preparations for the morning show were basically over, and a staff member was pulling his neck and shouting, "The anchor has entered!! ”
With his shout, several people walked into the studio.
Zhou Xiao looked over and found these people...... He didn't know any of them.
The anchor industry is basically an iron-clad male anchor and a flowing female anchor, and for Zhou Xiao, what the male anchor looks like is basically not in his attention range, and he hasn't paid attention to these female anchors at all because they are too far away.
However, for TV shows, a program is made around them, so although Zhou Xiao has no impression of them, after they enter the studio, it is obvious that everyone is moving and working around them.
Several people immediately surrounded them to tie up the microphone, and the makeup artist who came in with them kept touching up their makeup, and the director immediately walked over to confirm the process with them for a while, and several young people lying in front of the camera were writing big-character posters, and after seeing the anchors come in, they wrote big-character posters a little faster.
And several cameramen are also confirming the camera position with the person holding the notebook next to them, and they communicate with each other from time to time.
"Zhou Xiao! Come over here! Okada pulled Zhou Xiao to the corner of the studio.
"Here are a few masters who will play later, if they have any requirements that you can meet, you can meet them, and if you can't meet them, come to me! I'm right next to the director! Okada said, pointing to a few people.
"Yes!" "Then I'll leave it to him!" After Okada finished speaking, he left in a hurry.
Zhou Xiao looked over, and the few people in front of him were obviously chefs, for Japanese TV, food is a very important component, especially in the morning, noon and dusk, arranging the food link not only has good ratings, but also has a good reputation, and for the anchors, this kind of link is also very haode, because of the early work, so most of the anchors haven't eaten yet, and if there is a food link in the morning, even if it is in the show, it can fill part of the stomach.
But this kind of good thing has nothing to do with Zhou Xiao, he is now serving the anchors.
The work in the morning was messy and trivial, and it was carefully until half past seven in the morning, and the people in the whole studio finally relaxed in the director's "OK". The next show will not be live, and everyone can finally breathe a sigh of relief.
"The staff can go to dinner!" After the director shouted OK, there were other staff members commanding.
followed Uncle Inoue to the cafeteria, and as the lowest level of staff, their bento was not very good.
"Uncle Inoue, what are you going to do next?"
"The next work is not done in the building, but in the studio." Uncle Inoue said.
"Studio?" "That's right, we're going to the Bayshore Studio! Finished eating, right? Let's go when you're done. After speaking, Inoue pulled Zhou Xiao out of the TV station and drove the car to the destination.
The studio wasn't far from Fuji TV, and the car made a bend on the road and soon arrived at its destination, by which time the whole of Tokyo had gradually woken up.
