Chapter 119: The police department fills Furuhata Renzaburo
"Renzaburo Furuhata is the name of the protagonist of this drama, and his identity is a criminal police officer of the Investigation Division of the Metropolitan Police Department. His mantra was: "There is no such thing as a perfect crime" and "To sin in front of me is like to do magic in front of a magician."
"Each episode has a eucalyptus, and it is a separate story. Each episode adopts a fixed narrative rhythm, that is, in a black background, the protagonist appears in the opening lines of the introductory narrative, and uses flashbacks to reveal the circumstances of the prisoner's death."
"Flashback reasoning?" Shibasaki Hideaki couldn't help but ask.
"Yes." Fujiwara Kei nodded and looked at Hideaki Shibasaki, "It seems that Shibasaki-kun also knows a lot about reasoning."
Hideaki Shibasaki smiled, "When I was a teenager, I often watched the "Detective Colin" series."
"Detective Colin" is a world-famous reasoning American drama, which uses the technique of flashback reasoning.
Kei Fujiwara originally wanted to make "Renzaburo Furuhata" the world's first flashback reasoning work? As a result, after careful investigation, I found out that the works of flashback reasoning in this world have already appeared, and it seems that the head soup is not always drinkable.
However, what makes him feel relieved is that in the field of Japanese dramas, flashback reasoning is still a blank. And the reasoning Japanese dramas in this world, Kei Fujiwara watched some of them during this time, and I felt that the quality was mediocre, not as good as "Renzaburo Furuhata", but the ratings were not bad.
It can be seen that the audience here likes reasoning dramas, which also strengthens his confidence in using "Renzaburo Furuhata" to fight for "Moon Nine".
What's more, as his reasoning writer, this drama can gain a certain amount of attention at the beginning of the broadcast.
"The show is indeed similar to 'Detective Colin' in some ways, but the difference is that there is an opening line, and Renzaburo Furuhata will introduce something or that rambling about something related to the eucalyptus in the opening line."
"There is also the fact that in each episode, when the plot is carried out before the break, the protagonist is once again asked to make a monologue to give the audience hints for solving the mystery. After he finishes saying "I'm Renzaburo Furuhata", he enters the ad again."
"Although there are many mystery dramas in Japanese dramas, flashback reasoning is a rare form, so it can't be filmed with conventional ideas. Compared with traditional mystery stories, which focus on the identity of the murderer, the murderer's methods, and the murderer's motives, the biggest suspense in this drama is not in the murderer, but in the detective - that is, the detective's method of catching the murderer."
"So this drama will give the audience a new experience, we do not hide the identity of the murderer, do not use the murderer to whet the audience's appetite, but use the detective's pursuit of the murderer to make the audience interested."
With that, Kei Fujiwara sent the printed script for the first episode.
"Director Shibasaki, in order to ensure the style of this play, please shoot at the original rhythm of the script at that time, please." Keido Fujiwara.
The director is actually qualified to make a certain degree of modification to the script, of course, the screenwriter can also raise objections, and if it is a strong screenwriter, he can even force the supervisor to shoot according to his own ideas.
But Kei Fujiwara doesn't plan to rule with an iron fist, filming shows is not writing, and it's easy to kill yourself if you always engage in a word. So if Hideaki Shibasaki had a different idea and planned to revise the script, Kei Fujiwara would be willing to make certain concessions.
But Fujiwara Kei felt that it was not necessary, the scripts he came up with were extremely mature, and the final version that had been successful in the parallel world, and the release time of "Renzaburo Furuhata" in the parallel world was 94 years, which is similar to the current time, so there is no need to worry about the audience not accepting it. If it is further modified, it will inevitably add unnecessary risks.
But after reading the script carefully, Shibasaki Hideaki couldn't help but sigh in his heart: It is really remarkable to be a mystery writer, and this script is very interesting.
If you only shoot to the rhythm of the script, there is no problem at all in his experience as a director.
"In order to attract the audience, there is another feature of this play, which is the actor of the murderer." Kei Fujiwara said, "Every episode we have to bring in a celebrity who is a household name to play the murderer, so that the audience can recognize it at a glance and know: Oh, this is the one to play the murderer in this episode."
"And the person who plays the murderer can be people from all walks of life, no
It has to be an actor. Singers, comics, athletes, as long as they are famous enough." Kei Fujiwara suddenly said with some embarrassment, "Of course, I can also make a cameo appearance in an episode."
"Fujiwara, I can't afford your salary." Yui Mizuhara said with a frown.
"Please apply to the stage again, after all, actors are very important."
Yui Mizuhara spread her hands.
"As for the lead actor in this play, the person who plays Renzaburo Furuhata should be the kind of mature actor. The age range is between 40 and 50 years old. The image should be good enough, and it is best to be an idol when you are young, and you will transform into a powerful faction when you are old. If it's the kind of actor who can give people a sense of elegance, this is in line with another name of this play - "Gentleman Detective"."
"I have a few actors to choose from, you can refer to them, and if you have the right candidates, you can also ask them to come to the company for an audition."
With that, Kei Fujiwara came up with several names and distributed the personal profiles of these people.
These people are all famous actors, all of them are in their forties, for ordinary people, this age may be very bad - declining physical function, frequent health problems, cracks in the relationship between husband and wife, children have also reached a rebellious period, in the current economic downturn environment, maybe there is still a crisis of layoffs, but there is still a long time before getting a pension. It can be described as a time when various mid-life crises erupt in a concentrated manner.
But for actors in this era, it can be described as the age of their prime. If you can still be active in the entertainment industry at this age, your status in the circle must be very high.
And the play is broad, he can play a tough guy to catch thieves, and he can also play a confidant uncle and a young girl to fall in love. As a Japanese drama at the top of the contempt chain, Dahe drama also mostly uses actors of this age to serve as the main role.
Several people looked at the actors' information and discussed the selection among these people, Fujiwara Kei was selected according to Tamura Masakazu's template, all of them are handsome uncles, among them, a few of them were popular when they were young, and a few girls jumped over the stairs for them when they announced their marriage.
It can only be said that there are star chasers in all eras, and they are all the same crazy.
After some discussion, everyone chose an actor named Teruo Mayuan.
Ma Yuan Zhaosheng, born in a family of performing arts, his father is also a famous film actor, he also started art at the age of 20, and after the age of 40, he often plays the role of a charming uncle on the screen, and he just won the Best Actor Award at the Student Awards in June this year.
There are also several actors to choose from, and Yui Mizuhara also intends to contact them one by one.
The approval of "Renzaburo Furuhata" was quickly passed, and the filming budget of the station was also allocated. Kei Fujiwara handed over the script for the first three episodes to Hideaki Shibasaki, and the storyboard script began to be urgently created.
After receiving the invitation, the auditioning actors heard that it was Sima Guitai's new reasoning work, and they all accepted the invitation.
Compared with the niche late-night food drama "Lonely Gourmet", Taili has more expectations for this "Renzaburo Furuhata". After all, it's Kei Fujiwara's old business, as long as he can play steadily, the ratings must not be low.
Before the TV series started, the station began to carry out publicity work, and the entertainment section of "Daily Economic News" published the news that Sima Guitai's new reasoning work was about to start.
"Genius writer Sima Guitai's first mystery drama is about to start, so stay tuned!"
The newspaper published a handsome profile photo of Kei Fujiwara.
However, after this news was published, not only did it fail to get the audience's expectations, but it attracted a lot of doubts and even bad comments.
