Rebirth of Xiangjiang - 1978

Isao Matsuoka is very open-minded. He feels that since he can't get the leadership of "General Affairs Section 2", he won't fight for it. Even with Lin Daoqiu's support, even if he really takes the leadership in his hands, he won't fight for it.

It will become ugly.

After all, he will stay at Fuji TV for a long time. Unless Matsuoka Isao is sure that he can replace Maruyama Yoshimi as the president, it is best for him to be a good subordinate and wait for the next time.

A good opportunity arises.

"Mr. Lin, have you already decided on the protagonist of "General Affairs Section 2"?"

At this time, Matsuoka Isao suddenly talked about the casting of "General Affairs Division 2".

"What's wrong? Do you have any ideas?"

As soon as Lin Daoqiu heard Matsuoka Isao's intention, he knew that he still didn't give up. Since he couldn't take the lead, he had to find ways to get involved in the production of this drama. Casting is the most important part of a TV series. In general, TV series

The most important selling point is the actors, followed by the script, director and screenwriter. Of course, there are exceptions, such as Lin Daoqiu, but the frequency of such exceptions is very low.

"No, I just want to know who Mr. Lin plans to arrange to play the leading role in this drama. I'm just curious."

Isao Matsuoka would not express his thoughts easily before he understood Lin Daoqiu's intentions. After all, Lin Daoqiu might have already thought about who should act in this drama. If that was the case, he would suddenly propose a few people at this time.

If you choose, wouldn't that cause Lin Daoqiu's dissatisfaction?

Moreover, after working with Lin Daoqiu for these years, Isao Matsuoka has roughly figured out his temper. Before he gives up the right to cast, Lin Daoqiu will not agree to it no matter who asks.

"This drama is a TV drama with female themes. It is an ensemble drama. There are six characters in total, but only one is the protagonist."

"The themes are all pioneered. Urban love, family ethics, and campus themes have always been popular. This is what it is now and it will be like this. However, if these TV series are continuously launched, the audience will inevitably suffer from aesthetic fatigue, and the ratings will be difficult.

There has been a big improvement, so we must introduce new themes to attract the audience, and "General Affairs Section 2" is a start."

The original version of "General Affairs Section 2" would not start filming until ten years later. The original heroine Makiko Ekaku was only twenty-three years old at this time. She was not qualified for this heroine regardless of age or temperament, so from the beginning

Lin Daoqiu never thought of finding her to star in this play.

At this time, Lin Daoqiu suddenly made a new subject, and it was a subject that no one had succeeded in before. It was because he was Lin Daoqiu that Isao Matsuoka had confidence. If it were another screenwriter or director, then

The result is probably hard to say.

"If Mr. Lin doesn't mind, you might as well tell me the characteristics and requirements of this heroine. Maybe I can help you find a suitable role."

As for whether this drama will be successful without Makiko Ekaku, Lin Daoqiu is not worried about this. Although the casting of "General Affairs Section 2" in the previous life was very good, Makiko Ekaku also cast the heroine Chinatsu Tsuboi.

The performance is lively, but Lin Daoqiu believes that there are many suitable candidates for the role of Chinatsu Tsuboi, and it is not just Makiko Ekaku who can play it well.

If someone else had told Matsuoka Isao that they wanted to make a TV series with this theme, and asked him to provide strong assistance, Matsuoka Isao would probably not have paid attention to the other party, because at this time, the most popular themes in Neon TV series are just those.

, family ethics, urban love, and campus, these three themes can be said to have dominated the neon TV drama circle in the 1980s.

Isao Matsuoka seems to be very hardworking. If there is a chance for this kind of thing, he will naturally help Lin Daoqiu solve the problem and praise his own people at the same time.

When Maruyama Yoshimi asked, Lin Daoqiu did not tell him. After all, the friendship between them was still very shallow. Unless Lin Daoqiu took the initiative to tell him, even if Maruyama Yoshimi asked, it would be in vain.

"You are right. If you keep rotating among a few themes, it is basically impossible for Fuji TV to reach or even surpass TBS. Only by launching new themes can it have a chance to win."

Since Lin Daoqiu agreed to cooperate with Fuji TV to make a TV series, he will not be a hands-off shopkeeper. Although he will not do everything personally, Lin Daoqiu will still try his best to make this drama the best it can be.

"This theme is quite new, and it sounds very good. I think it at least gets rid of the previous themes of campus, family, and urban love, which are the most popular themes nowadays."

Moreover, Minamino Yoko was only 22 years old at this time. At most, she could only play the youngest among the six people. As for other roles, there were really no suitable roles for her.

"In large organizations, there must be a department responsible for distribution, replacement of toilet paper, replacement of fluorescent lamps, etc. In simple terms, it is chores, and the name of this chores department is: General Affairs Section 2. These six female staff were demoted to the post for different reasons.

A series of stories that happened after the General Affairs Section 2, known as the "Women's Grave", is the outline of "General Affairs Section 2"."

Isao Matsuoka originally thought that there would only be about two important female characters in this drama, but what he didn't expect was that Lin Daoqiu's script had as many as six females, which greatly exceeded his expectation.

Besides, Isao Matsuoka didn't know what to say for a moment.

"Six...six characters?"

"But the problem now is that I still can't figure out who to play the heroine."

Originally, Lin Daoqiu planned to let Nanyo Noko play the heroine, but her appearance was too sweet and had nothing to do with the original Tsuboi Chinatsu.

"Over thirty years old, mature in appearance but not too beautiful, soft on the outside but strong on the inside. The mantra is that the value of a woman depends on the number of men she has had."

What Lin Daoqiu said basically introduced the characteristics of Tsuboi Chinatsu, but as for what kind of person to find to meet Lin Daoqiu's requirements, Matsuoka Isao couldn't think of it for a while. After all, this candidate is quite good.

It’s hard to choose.

"Mr. Lin, give me a few days, and I will definitely help you find a suitable candidate as soon as possible."

Isao Matsuoka took over this matter. After all, he was the president of Dongbao before. It is not difficult to find a few suitable actresses for Lin Daoqiu to choose. The difficult thing is whether they can be chosen by Lin Daoqiu.

Appearance is the key.

"If that's the case, I'd like to trouble Mr. Matsuoka. If possible, choose a few more people. Even if you can't be the heroine, you can try other roles. After all, there are many actresses needed for this drama, and maybe there are some suitable ones.

Theirs.”
