Chapter 35: The show is cut in half
Shuzo Kobayashi sent off the second chief Fujii and sat alone in the office, and couldn't help but sigh.
"My Illustrated Book" finally ushered in its most cruel ending, and Fukuyama TV finally decided to end the show.
Not only that, but a group of short-term employees in the program team may also be terminated from their labor contracts, and their jobs will not be kept.
The economy is sluggish, and even in the entertainment industry, it is not immune.
Kobayashi Shuzao is not worried about being laid off, after all, he is an employee who has been reporting for decades, and it costs a lot of money to fire himself.
However, a few of these short-term employees are capable enough to stay and get a long-term contract. For example, Fujiwara, but he was taken by that guy, and he didn't know if it was a good thing or a bad thing......
Thinking of this, Kobayashi Shuzo's gaze swept to the plan in the corner of the table, so he reached out and took it.
The plan that was written in two or three days...... What will it look like?
With such a curious thought, Kobayashi Shuzo opened the plan book.
However, after opening the proposal, the neat but detailed words on the paper immediately caught his eye.
Kobayashi Shuzo looked at it line by line, and the look of surprise in his eyes was about to overflow.
It's not an idea, it's not a sketch, it's an extremely detailed plan.
Although it is detailed, it is incomplete, and some key places are hidden, which seems to be deliberately done by Keina Fujiwara, and what he said will be detailed at the planning meeting.
Kobayashi Shuzao couldn't help laughing: This kid, are you afraid that I will leave him behind when I get the plan......
However, the content of the project is very interesting, and it is an amateur variety show. What is the name "Human Observation", it sounds like a news column, but it is actually a variety show of pure entertainment.
Achieve a comedic effect by tricking passers-by or show guests.
In this way, is it an extended version of those funny short films in "My Variety Show"?
However, the reason why that short film is funny, in addition to the interesting script, its own short and exquisite is also a reason, if it is pulled into an hour-and-a-half-long variety show, can it still be as interesting as before?
However, after watching it for a while, I realized that "Human Observation" is fundamentally different from the previous college short films.
"Human Observation" relies more on creativity than script, unlike those short films.
Kei Fujiwara casually came up with several ideas in the project, and Shuzo Kobayashi saw each of them, and each one was very interesting and the feasibility of shooting was very high.
The level of detail of the plan doesn't look like a plan anymore, as if there really is such a program in this world, and it is doing a review. There was even a moment when Shuzo Kobayashi felt that this might be a variety show abroad, which was copied by Kei Fujiwara.
But in fact, this is impossible, as a producer, Kobayashi Shuzo cannot exist in the world with a show that he has never heard of. I have never heard of a variety show similar to "Human Observation".
Can he make such a mature plan in just two days, can he do it?
The answer is no, not only that he can't do it, but he has the impression that it is difficult to say that anyone in the entire broadcasting world can do the same thing......
How does a show come into being? First, a person puts forward an idea, and then the core creative team composed of directors, producers, chief assistants, chief cameramen and other members continuously discuss, improve, and test shoot, and finally the prototype of a program gradually appears.
And Kei Fujiwara alone came up with a clear plan, and even predicted a series of problems that may be encountered during the filming process in advance, as well as solutions...... What the? One man is worth an army?
Shuzo Kobayashi picked up the glass of water on the table and took a sip, confirming in his heart that Kei Fujiwara is undoubtedly a talent when it comes to program production.
No wonder the screenwriter of Panasonic took a fancy to him and had to accept him as a disciple.
……
The resolution that "My Illustrated Book" was cut in half finally appeared.
All the while, fearful rumours have become reality, and a depressing atmosphere has hung over a group of employees who only have short-term contracts.
Miss Murakami began to take turns talking to everyone, but she didn't find Kei Fujiwara.
The program team will contact the labor contracts of most short-term employees, but at the same time, some employees' contracts will be converted to long-term.
Kei Fujiwara should be one of them, and although he has not yet received a formal decision from the Ministry of Human Resources, everyone thinks so in their hearts.
Kei Fujiwara's "Giggles" series of funny short films were indeed well received by a large number of readers, and those short films were even edited separately and compiled into a compilation album that was broadcast on Fukuyama TV, with an audience rating of 10%.
Although it is not a high rating, it is a lot higher than "My Illustrated Guide", and from the fact that most of the audience's calls are aimed at "giggling", it can be seen that the increase in ratings in the later stage of the show may be inseparable from the insertion of funny short films.
Kei Fujiwara waited patiently for a while, and soon after, Miss Murakami found Kei Fujiwara, "Fujiwara-kun, are you free now?" Vice Chief Fujii wants to see you, is it convenient to go? ”
When the boss sees his subordinates, it's inconvenient to see if he is free, so don't they all have to go...... Fujiwara Kei sneered in his heart, stood up and said, "No problem, I'm free now." ”
"The ......"
Fujiwara Kei followed behind Miss Murakami, but still couldn't help asking, "Shouldn't you talk to me?" ”
Miss Murakami turned around and smiled at Fujiwara Keiyan: "Vice Chief Fujii said that he wanted to talk to you in person, congratulations Fujiwara-kun, I heard that Matsushita Sensei values you very much." ”
"Matsushita-sensei?" Kei Fujiwara frowned, "Which Matsushita sensei, please?" ”
"It's Shinya Matsushita, the ace screenwriter of our company." Miss Murakami smiled, "Is there a second famous Panasonic with high skills?" ”
When Kei Fujiwara heard this name, he had a number in his heart, smiled at Miss Murakami, and did not speak again.
Miss Murakami said again: "I heard that both the producer of Kobayashi and the director of Fukuyamadai Sato praised Fujiwara-kun, by the way, I heard that the giggle column is a script independently compiled by Fujiwara-kun?" ”
Kei Fujiwara nodded: "That's right. ”
"It was a really funny show, and I couldn't stop laughing every time I watched it." Miss Murakami covered her mouth and smiled, "Fujiwara-kun is really very talented." ”
Keiya Fujiwara nodded and smiled, "Thank you for liking." ”
Miss Murakami took Kei Fujiwara to an office and knocked on the office door: "Second Chief Fujii, Fujiwara-kun has arrived." ”
A man's voice said "Come in" from inside the office, and Miss Murakami pushed the door open and made a "please" gesture to Kei Fujiwara.
Kei Fujiwara walked in and saw two people sitting in the office, looking at Kei Fujiwara at the same time.
One of them was Hirogami Fujii, the second chief whom he had seen not long ago, while the other was looking at Kei Fujiwara with a smile on his face, dressed in a gray robe, pretending to be holding a white paper fan in his hand, his cheeks were fleshless, his eyes were cloudy, and he was smiling.
He is Shinya Matsushita, a famous TV drama screenwriter. Although Kei Fujiwara hadn't seen him in person a few times, he had heard of him in TV interviews and gossip with colleagues.
