Chapter 97: Everything has to be selected
Yes, the radio drama Ye Zhao intends to do is "Call Love at the Center of the World".
RB's local film market is generally very conservative, which can be seen from the long list of production committees when making a movie. In addition, the entire market also tends to adapt works that are already popular, and they have never been very optimistic about those pure originals without the bonus of the original work.
This kind of disapproval not only comes from investors and producers, but also reflects it in the box office of the audience. Although in the world that Ye Zhao experienced, the movie "Calls Love at the Center of the World" set a box office myth of 8.5 billion, what led to this myth was the original novel that sold 1 million copies and subsequently sold 3 million copies, as well as the strategy of TBS's unremitting publicity and TV series and movies simultaneously.
It is precisely because of this that although Ye Zhao wrote the script "Calls Love at the Center of the World" early on, he never listed it as his first shooting target. After all, to shoot this movie, there will definitely be no less investment in investment, and the risks have to be taken too much.
If you barely shoot, it would be like when playing poker, someone else gave a 6, but he played a 6.
But when the script appeared, seeing the results he had worked so hard to make, even Ye Zhao felt a pity when he stayed at home and was fine to entertain himself. It was also at this moment that the idea of setting up a radio drama also appeared in his mind.
The reason for this idea is to thank the TV series "Kinda Ichiko Event Book". First, the original comic of this TV series was originally written by the scriptist and then handed over to the cartoonist to draw it, rather than the cartoonist's own complete conception from beginning to end.
As for the second point, when he attended the second meeting of Kaneda Ichikawa, he was having a good time with Yukihiko Tsuki, he suddenly remembered a movie called "Love Photo" filmed by Yukihiko Tsuki in 2003. After the original script was released, a writer named Takuji Ichikawa was very touched by watching the movie. After obtaining authorization, he wrote a novel called "Love Photo: Another Story" based on this movie.
Later, in 2006, the novel was re-adapted into the movie "Just Love You" starring Hiroshi Tamaki and Aoi Miyazaki.
Although Ye Zhao cannot write the original novel, he can also throw the bricks and bring this pen to others. If you try it out, the most suitable radio drama is undoubtedly a low-cost radio drama. If the radio drama can make some splashes, then I will learn from the situation of "Love Photo" and select the right writer to adapt the novel.
...
RB's radio drama has a long history and has a considerable audience. It is not a matter of unconventionality to do this. Popular radio dramas will also be available for CDs after the broadcast is over. Most of the actors who are the dubbing of radio dramas are specialized in radio drama voice actors associated with the broadcasting bureau. Of course, voice actors, actors and idols are also involved.
The format of the script is still very easy to read. "Calling Love in the Center of the World" itself is not an obscure story, so Takeda Shun turned the pages very quickly, and she read about ten pages soon.
It was not until Takeda Toshi raised his head again that Ye Zhao asked, "What do you think Takeda Sang?"
"I definitely can't tell you if you ask me about structure dialogue or something, but I want to continue reading every time I read a page." Takeda Toshi said, "From this perspective, it's a good story."
"So that's the case?"
"Well, this level of radio script should be enough. I will help you to ask at the broadcasting bureau later." Takeda Toshima said, "I didn't expect that Ye Jun even made the script very well."
"If I weren't sure, I wouldn't dare to come up with the plan." Ye Zhao smiled, "Sang Takeda should be a little relieved about me in making a movie, right?"
"Movies are movies, radio dramas are radio dramas, so you can't mess around. Wait until you take out the movie scripts and discuss them." Takeda Shun didn't like Ye Zhao at all. "As for radio scripts, it's useless to just say I'm good. I'll have to use them to read them for the people from the Radio and Television Bureau before talking. However, which broadcast bureau Ye Zhaosang plans to cooperate with?"
"Is it possible for TBS RADIO?" Even if Ye Zhao has not mentioned the history that "Call Love in the Center of the World" movies, TV series, and radio drama productions are all produced by TBS. Just TBS RADIO is the broadcasting and delivery bureau with the highest ratings in Kanto circle, it is enough to make people excited.
Takeda Tsubasa smiled bitterly, "Ye Zhaosang, this probably won't work? TBS RADIO's schedule is very popular. Even if you barely get it, the threshold fee and signing fee will have to be a lot."
"Yes." Ye Zhao nodded and calculated: "In NHK, the threshold for state-owned stations is so high, and the range of TOKYO FM is too small... Takeda Sang, can you talk about cultural broadcasting?"
"Well, let's give it a try."
"Anyway, let's give priority to cultural broadcasting. If there is no other way, consider other things."
...
If you open a firm, what are the benefits? Give it to him if you say it right.
For Ye Zhao, the biggest advantage of opening a firm is of course time-saving and worry-free. In addition to the key parts that must be carried out by himself, other things can be run quickly and efficiently as long as they are entrusted to their subordinates. After all, it is also a person who is determined to draw his own circle in the RB art world. If he has to run errands by himself in everything, it would be too shabby.
In this way, after taking out the script, Ye Zhao became the boss and entrusted all rights to Takeda Toshi, who would come forward to conduct preliminary negotiations with the production staff of cultural broadcasting.
Since he received the invitation from the radio group of cultural broadcasters, Ye Zhaoku is now half of their own. In addition, his name now has its own topic, when Takeda Toshi sent the script, although the person in charge Masato Kaga was hesitant, he still took the script and prepared to at least take a look.
However, when he opened the script, just like Takeda Toshi who was reading the script for the first time, he looked at more than ten pages without stopping, and then he closed the script with unfulfilled satisfaction.
"Is this really written by Ye Zhaosang?" Kaga Masato was half-believing and half-doubting.
"Of course." Takeda Tsubasa replied immediately, but thought to himself that when he first read the script, his first reaction was the same.
Kaga Masatsuki sighed, "I really didn't expect it."
Most of the things like radio dramas are adapted based on the original work. This kind of adaptation may be the result of the original work being successful, or it may be to try the waters and create momentum for works that were not very popular in the early days. In short, due to the low cost of radio dramas, it has become a good way to promote.
Even so, there are not many original radio scripts, but the starting point is just a little lower. Of course, the slightly lower part quickly made up for this part after the work was named Ye Zhao.
...
"So, the Cultural Broadcasting side has agreed to cooperate?"
"Yes. But recently, there is no suitable schedule. Only one schedule will be withdrawn from the first schedule from 3:00 to 5:00 on Friday."
"This period is too bad. The audience of this radio show is biased towards young people, rather than elderly people who get up early to listen to healthy radio."
"If we wait until the new and old schedules are handed over in October, there will be more options."
"October..." Ye Zhao thought for a while and finally decided to say, "October is just October." Anyway, the radio drama is just to test the waters, so it doesn't matter if it's a little later. Next, his main energy must be focused on preparing for the new album.
"In terms of radio drama production, which troupe Ye Zhao wants to entrust?"
"Well, I won't bother the second masters in one thing, so I'll just leave it to the dubbing troupe that cooperates closely with the Cultural Broadcasting." Ye Zhao thought for a while, "However, I have some other ideas about the candidates for the male and female protagonists."
"Another idea?" Takeda Toshiba's eyebrows leaped.
Sure enough, Ye Zhao said slowly: "Zhutiansang, let's also make a selection."
“Select?”
"That's right, use the selection method to select the dubbing candidates for the male and female protagonists in their youth from ordinary young girls. The production cycle of radio dramas is a bit long, and large-scale selection is not realistic. Anyway, the radiation circle of cultural broadcasting is in Kanto, so let's post selection books for the Kanto Circle."
"As for age, the setting of the hero and heroine is seventeen years old. Let's relax a little, and it will be fifteen to nineteen years old." Speaking of this, Ye Zhao suddenly thought, "But if you want to use minors, considering the working time limit for minors, you have to choose a higher time period... If you record radio dramas, it will be completely meaningless."
The so-called working hours limit for minors refers to the RB law that artists under the age of fourteen cannot work more than 8 pm, and artists aged fifteen to eighteen cannot work more than 10 pm. Once they are found, they will turn into a very bad situation. Therefore, late-night programs that appear in minors are recorded.
Even in occasions like the Red and White Song Club, the performance period of minors has been adjusted to before nine o'clock. Some combinations, such as AKB, should appear in the second half of their performance period, then minor members should also leave.
This working hours limit for minors is a rule that no matter how popular a celebrity is, it cannot be broken. Perhaps in places where live broadcast cameras cannot be seen, child stars will be squeezed until twelve o'clock in the evening, but as long as they are on the live broadcast, they must abide by this rule, and TV stations and firms will not take this big fuss to test the law with their own hands. After all, even if the TV station turns a blind eye, the audience's complaints, like the legendary public censorship association, will still blew the complaint phone number as soon as possible.
"Ye Zhaosang, why do I think you are going to do things randomly again?" Takeda Toshi looked entangled.
"What does it matter? I don't really want to do selections for fun. But from now until October, the cycle is too long. Instead of wasting time in vain, it's better to make some money and just treat it as a hype for the radio drama."
