Japanese big things

The broadcast time of the variety show group is on the 11th schedule. To put it bluntly, it is 11 o'clock in the evening on Thursday. Although the time is a little late, for the variety show group, this time period is actually a prime time period.

If the schedule is arranged earlier, there will be popular TV dramas competing for viewing ratings at the same time. Those TV dramas often feature popular artists and can easily attract the attention of a large number of viewers.

And if it is later, it will slip to the late-night slot. In addition to the significant reduction in audio-visual audiences, the competition in the late-night slot will also be more intense.

Don’t underestimate those variety shows that stay in the late-night schedule. If you think that they stay in the late-night schedule, you subconsciously think that they are relatively weak.

If you really think so, you will definitely suffer a big loss. Just think about it, in the broadcasting industry where everything is based on audio-visual performance, which program can continue to be broadcast without being axed, which one is really bad?

When we arrived at TBS TV station, it was already dark late at night. The bustling scene at night had faded away. As the shops closed one after another, many flashing neon lights began to close their doors one after another.

There were only a few pedestrians on the street, and everyone seemed to be in a hurry, walking quickly on the street. Under the dim street lights and the breeze blowing from time to time, there was an inexplicable feeling of desolation.

The noise that should have been so lively disappeared, and everything seemed very quiet. Only sporadic noises came faintly from under the curtains of the roadside rooftops, mixed with the permeating steam, adding a touch of life.

Nakamura Masahiro walked slowly in the empty corridor. Without the busy scene of people coming and going during the day, the spacious environment made the whole person feel much more relaxed.

After rounding the corner, we soon arrived at the studio of the variety show. At this time, the production team was making preparations for the filming of the show. Everyone was walking back and forth, and it was a busy scene.<

/p>

"Nakamura-san, are you here?"

The appearance of Masahiro Nakamura quickly attracted the attention of the production team. After someone reported it to the supervisor, he quickly dropped what he was doing and greeted him enthusiastically.

"Sorry, I'm late..."

Although I am not very familiar with this variety show supervisor, Nakamura Masahiro is somewhat familiar with him because I have met him several times at TBS TV station.

"The show hasn't even started filming yet, so why is it so late..."

He smiled at Nakamura Masahiro, and after being polite, he looked down at the time, and immediately said to Nakamura Masahiro: "Nakamura-san, you communicate with Arimura-san and the others first, and we will start shooting later...

."

"Okay, then I'll go to the lounge first."

Nodding at the other party, Nakamura Masahiro watched the other party turn and leave. He saw that the other party quickly returned to his supervisory position, and after a brief communication with the staff around him, he quickly continued to direct.

He vaguely remembered the location of the lounge in his mind, and Nakamura Masahiro followed the remaining memories to find it. Fortunately, the names of the actors were posted on the doors of the lounges on both sides of the corridor, so there was no need for Nakamura Masahiro to try rashly one by one.

"Arimura Kasumi, Yamazaki Kento..."

After counting them in turn, Nakamura Masahiro found his name on the lounge door further back. He put his hand on the handle and twisted it slightly, then pushed the closed door open.

Like the rest rooms of most TV stations, the rest room assigned to Masahiro Nakamura by the production team is not very large, but if it is only used by dedicated people, it can be considered spacious.

After all, Nakamura Masahiro's status is that of a supervisor, and he cannot be treated according to the standards of ordinary artists. If word spreads, not to mention whether Nakamura Masahiro has any opinions, senior people in the industry will definitely jump out and criticize.

There was a fat woman sitting in the lounge. She was immersed in playing with her mobile phone. When she heard the door opening, she subconsciously turned her head and looked over.

"Supervisor Nakamura...."

Seeing that the person who appeared at the door was Nakamura Masahiro, she stood up immediately, and the mobile phone she was playing with was stuffed into her pocket. Her face was slightly flustered, and she introduced herself respectfully: "Hello,

I am the makeup artist arranged by the production team..."

"Hello...I'm sorry to trouble you about makeup."

Nodding at the other party, Nakamura Masahiro responded politely. Most ordinary artists do not have personal makeup artists. They either solve makeup problems by themselves, go to the beauty studio that cooperates with the agency, or arrange it with the production team.

makeup artist.

Of course, the makeup artists arranged by the production team usually have average skills, and their makeup skills are definitely not as high as those in beauty studios. However, for artists who do not have high makeup requirements, it is enough to meet the photogenic standards. What else do they need a bicycle?<

/p>

At the makeup artist's greeting, Nakamura Masahiro sat on the chair in front of the mirror, then closed his eyes, relaxed and let the makeup artist do whatever he wanted.

Although he also knows some simple makeup techniques, and his aesthetic vision that transcends the times is definitely much better than that of makeup artists, he has no problem coping with it on weekdays, but he may not be suitable for the TV station's requirements for being on camera.

If you are half a step ahead, you are a genius, and you are easily sought after and liked by others. But if you are too far ahead, you will easily be regarded as an outlier, and will be classified as someone who cannot read the air.

"Director Nakamura, okay..."

I don’t know how much time passed, but Nakamura Masahiro, who had his eyes closed, seemed to have dozed off, when he suddenly heard the makeup artist’s voice.

Subconsciously opening his eyes, he glanced at the makeup artist vaguely, and then moved his gaze to the mirror in front of him, and his blurred consciousness gradually became clear.

"Take a look and see if there is anything that needs improvement..."

Listening to the makeup artist's careful words, Nakamura Masahiro turned his head and looked around again, feeling that there should be nothing wrong with the image in the mirror.

Makeup artists do not only serve one production team. When they are really busy, it is common for them to travel back and forth between two or three production teams.

Maybe the makeup they create is not necessarily the best, but according to the TV station's photogenic standards, it must not be easy to make any mistakes.

"No, it's suitable. Thank you."

"You're welcome, Director Nakamura..."

"It's almost time, so I'll go over there first and talk later when I have time."

"You walk slowly..."

After being polite, Nakamura Masahiro walked out of the lounge. As soon as he arrived outside, he met the staff who came to inform him about the shooting.

After exchanging pleasantries, Nakamura Masahiro was about to leave. Suddenly, another lounge door opened, followed by Arimura Kasumi and Yamazaki Kento.

"Amura-san, Yamazaki-san, I'm preparing to inform you."

Compared with their respectful attitude toward Nakamura Masahiro, the staff seemed a bit more casual when treating Arimura Kasumi and Yamazaki Kento.

"The filming of the program will start soon. Please go to the studio as soon as possible."

"Hey, we got it."

Kasumi Arimura and Kento Yamazaki didn't care about the staff's attitude and complied obediently. Although they are somewhat famous now, they are still unknown little artists.

The entertainment industry is a very realistic circle. If you are popular or experienced enough, then the TV station staff will be respectful.

On the contrary, before an artist becomes popular, or after he has become popular, he can only restrain his temper and maintain a humble attitude at all times.

"Director Nakamura, I'll go over first."

A slightly flattering smile appeared on the staff's face. He bowed to Masahiro Nakamura, then turned and left.

"Director Nakamura, let's go to the studio together..."

Taking his eyes away from the departing staff, Kento Yamazaki turned to look at Masahiro Nakamura, with a faint smile like a hotel doorman.

"Supervisor Nakamura...."

Arimura Kasumi also showed a graceful smile, and her bright eyes seemed to be able to talk. Her relationship with Nakamura Masahiro was a bit complicated, and with Kento Yamazaki present, it was not suitable for too much conversation.

"Let's go there together."

Nakamura Masahiro didn't react at all, he just nodded to the two of them, said hello, and took the lead to walk towards the studio.

Upon seeing this, Kasumi Arimura and Kento Yamazaki quickly followed, and after a while, the three of them arrived at the studio where they were waiting.

After a brief greeting, the three of them checked with the banana group responsible for hosting the show to avoid unpleasant situations.

Although it is a talk show, the program does not allow you to do whatever you want. No matter which aspect is involved, the scope and scale of the conversation must be confirmed before the filming of the program.

To put it simply, every program has a script. The only difference is how much room the script leaves for the actors in the camera.

Is there just a general fuzzy framework that allows the actors to express themselves freely? Or is the process more detailed, so that the actors are like controlled puppets, responsible for executing step by step.

Of course, the production team hopes that the scale will be as large as possible. After all, exciting content can arouse the interest of the audience and become the focus of everyone's attention, thereby improving the audiovisual performance.

But the interviewed artists are different. In Japanese society, which generally values ​​privacy, even if artists are destined to make some sacrifices, they don’t want Chi Guoguo to be exposed at will.

"If there is no problem, please stand in front of the camera..."

After finishing the communication, the two hosts of the Banana Man group called Nakamura Masahiro and others to stand in front of another camera: before the interview officially begins, the program will film a brief opening introduction.

"Good evening, welcome everyone to watch on time hosted by Banana Man Group..."
