Chapter 16: Reader's Return Form

The work of the newcomer AD on the set is mainly to do chores.

AD means assistant to the director, but in fact it can be anyone's assistant, the hardest worker bee of the crew.

Kei Fujiwara is helping executive director Taro Nishimura train passerby actors, who are also group actors, but unlike the Hengdian model, these actors are strictly speaking employees of TV stations, and they are paid, and most of them have undergone simple training in TV station acting training classes.

Kei Fujiwara taught passers-by actors to move in position, and cooperated with the leading actors to make various performances, and when they encountered the kind of passers-by who were particularly paddling and wanted to be in the limelight, they would be warned five times or three times.

It is precisely because of this that these passers-by and actors did not make any mistakes during the filming process, and if these people have problems, he and Taro Nishimura will be at the head of the line.

"Supervisor Nishimura, this is the list of passerby actors I selected, you can take a look." Kei Fujiwara went to find Taro Nishimura, only to find the man standing against the wall, head bowed and not knowing what to think.

"Superintendent Nishimura?" screamed again, Nishimura Taro still didn't react, Fujiwara Kei was stunned, looked carefully, and found that the man was standing and asleep.

Fujiwara Kei hesitated for a moment, reached out and pushed him, and Nishimura Taro suddenly woke up: "Got off work?" ”

Fujiwara Kei reluctantly handed over the list of actors and whispered, "Supervisor Nishimura, do you want me to buy you a cup of coffee?" ”

Nishimura Taro sighed and shook his head: "I can't drink it, I'm allergic to caffeine." ”

Looking at Taro Nishimura's dark circles under his eyes, Kei Fujiwara could only express sympathy in his heart.

Time passed day by day, and "In the Name of Love" was also put into the seventh episode, and the producer still had two episodes in his hands.

This TV series has a total of 12 episodes, one episode is broadcast every week, and the production mode of Japanese and Korean dramas is almost the same, choosing the mode of filming and broadcasting, and adjusting the content from time to time through audience feedback. Sometimes the audience particularly likes or hates a supporting role, and the screenwriter will add or subtract scenes for him as appropriate.

It is precisely because of this mode that a lot of uncertainty is added to the shooting. The second female lead originally ran through the entire script, but because the audience hated it so much, it was not uncommon for her to go offline in the third episode.

The pressure on the main creative staff is unusually great, and both the producer and the director are like powder kegs on the set, almost exploding at one point.

At noon, the crew also arrived at lunchtime, and the meals were quite hearty, perhaps because of the large number of calories needed for filming, and most of the meals prepared for the creative team staff were fried food.

Kei Fujiwara was eating omelet rice and fried shrimp, and the BP machine rang again, and Kei Fujiwara picked it up and looked at it, it was a number he didn't recognize.

……

"Hey, hello, who is it?"

"Hello, this is Asakawa Bookstore."

Fujiwara Kei frowned, this is a publishing house, and Fujiwara Kei has also been there to submit articles before. He waited a long time for the editor there, and when the editor came out, he just asked him to make a copy of his work and then run to a nightclub, which made the worst impression on him of all the publishers he had submitted.

"I have an impression, may I ask what's the matter?"

"Uh, that's right, you have contributed to our club before, a novel called "White Night Walking", do you have any impressions? We think this novel is very interesting, and we would like to publish it in our magazine "Call of the Wild", and we would like you to come to our publishing house to talk about it in detail. ”

"I'm sorry, I don't think about it." Keido Fujiwara.

"Uh, why is that? Do you have any concerns? The person on the other side of the microphone said, but then a second voice came out of the microphone, "Call me, I'll talk to him." ”

"Hello, I'm the head editor of Asakawa Shoten, and I personally reviewed your manuscript, and I thought it was very interesting and wanted to publish it in our magazine. We are willing to pay 5,000 yen per page and pay for three chapters at once......"

The manuscript fee of 5,000 yen per page is already a very high price for newcomers, at least higher than that given by the Spring and Autumn Society.

But now, there is no way to change the court, and the contract has been signed.

Fujiwara Kei smiled: "I'm sorry, my novel has already signed a contract with the Spring and Autumn Society, even if you give me 10,000, there is no way." ”

There was silence on the other end of the line for several seconds, and then he let out a sigh, "Well, I'm really sorry to bother you." We'll destroy the manuscript. ”

Hanging up the phone, the chief editor of Asakawa Shoten looked at the editor standing behind him with some anger.

The editor was a little nervous, and kept his eyes on the tips of his shoes, feeling that he had been harmed by an unwarranted disaster.

I don't have any impression of when this manuscript called "White Night Walking" was received, but I remember that I put it aside directly after the photocopying, and I don't seem to have read it much.

But I don't know what kind of coincidence, the manuscript was seen by the editor, who read the four chapters and the outline, and asked to contact the author, his expression was even a little excited, and even blamed his editor for why such a good manuscript was not sent to the serialization meeting.

The chief editor glared at the fat editor for a long time, and suddenly sighed: "Forget it, it's okay, if this kind of thing is gone, it's gone, it's useless to complain, you go back to work." ”

The editor finally breathed a sigh of relief, bowed to the minister, and hurried back to his desk.

It's just that I've lost a manuscript, is this the minister? What a fuss!

The new issue of "Spring and Autumn of Qiankun" has finally been released!

The Spring and Autumn Society sent a sample book as soon as possible, and Fujiwara Kei first opened the table of contents, found the page where "White Night Walking" was located, and then turned to that page.

The magazine also has a heart, and also drew beautiful illustrations for his novels, which is the reflection of a little boy holding a little girl's hand under a street lamp, which looks poignant, and can be regarded as a hint of the plot for readers.

Kei Fujiwara pulled out the "Readers' Opinion Survey" from the magazine and stared at it for a long time.

Every Qiankun Spring and Autumn magazine will have one such return visit form, and some readers will fill out the form, write their favorite works, and then send them back to the magazine.

This type of return form was learned from comic magazines, in order to be able to grasp the reader's real reaction to the novel at the first time.

The fate of most of the works is determined by this feedback form.

The data of the feedback form is divided into three rounds, the first round is the "flash report", which refers to the results of the first 100 interview forms received after the publication of the magazine.

The second round is "Xiaozheng", that is, about a week later, 500 of all the access forms received are selected and counted.

The third round is the "full statistics", which is when the next issue of the magazine is released, and all the interview tables of the previous magazine are counted, and the survey results are the most accurate, but they are also out of date.

So in the eyes of the editorial department, Xiaozheng's result is the most important.

It's almost tomorrow, and the results of the flash report should be out, I don't know what the result will be......

Fujiwara Kei said in his heart.
