Tokyo Literary Godfather

Fukuyama Yuejiu's team started the preliminary preparations for the new drama "Life is Beautiful", and at the same time, the sixth episode of "Naoki Hansawa" also began to be broadcast.

"See, the narrative rhythm of "Hansawa Naoki" is very sophisticated. The ten-episode drama is divided into two parts for narration, and each part is only five episodes in size. Tell the story clearly so that the audience's emotions are satisfied."

Ensuke Kato said.

He is currently in a projection room. He is sitting on a rattan chair with a gentleman's cane in his hand. The projector not far away is projecting an image on a white screen. It is the sixth episode of "Naoki Hansawa". The content of the set.

After seeing Kei Fujiwara at the academy dinner, the first thing Ensuke Kato did after returning to TTV was to recruit all the young screenwriters under the age of 30 from the production bureau to hold a study session.

Ensuke Kato was very happy after meeting Kei Fujiwara at the dinner party. He has been serving as a visiting professor at various art colleges and universities. He did not expect to cultivate such a powerful talent unintentionally. Maybe he can pass on his own The mantle of the king of the broadcasting world can even be carried forward, and the pride in my heart is beyond words.

But since I can teach one Fujiwara Kei, I might be able to teach a second one.

With this idea in mind, Ensuke Kato called all the young screenwriters together to analyze Kei Fujiwara's works at the pixel level to learn each other's creative ideas.

There is a word in the director industry called "pull film", which is to watch a movie frame by frame like a saw, watch it frame by frame, analyze a movie in depth, and combine the content, scheduling, camera movement, scene, and editing of each shot. , performances, and camera positions are all recorded, and finally a learning summary is made.

In the screenwriting industry, similar methods can be used to deeply analyze the writing techniques of screenwriters, extract the core creative techniques in the works, learn it and apply it.

It can be regarded as a pull tab in the field of writing.

Kato Ensuke organized this study meeting, and all the TTV screenwriters arrived on time. Everyone had a small notebook in their hands to write down the key points.

TTV previously lost to Kei Fujiwara in the ratings war, which also made some TTV writers feel humiliated, but then they developed a shared hatred. The former king of the broadcasting industry Ensuke Kato presided over the study meeting. They now have a unified goal in their hearts, which is to overthrow Keina Fujiwara's brutal rule.

Having said that, no one wants to meet him head-on at the same time. The animal is at its creative peak now, so it's better to stay hidden.

So now, when almost all producers hear the word "month nine", their heads shake like a rattle, and they are desperately trying to avoid this period. So much so that the spring season is almost coming to an end, and the successor program for the next season has not yet been announced.

It seems that we can only find a new team and make a small production to barely cover it... The director of TTV sighed in his heart.

However, the director, screenwriter, and producers of TTV are gratified that Kei Fujiwara only shows his teeth and claws during the ninth month of the month, and their living situation is not too bad for the time being.

Ensuke Kato sat in front of the podium, took a sip of tea to moisten his throat, and then continued: "Although "Naoki Hansawa" has only been aired for six episodes, I have watched them all and found that there are many things worth learning from. .”

"For example, the narrative rhythm. This drama has a total of ten episodes, but the stories of the first five episodes and the last five episodes are independent of each other. Every five episodes tells a story, which is very suitable for the weekly broadcast mode of Japanese dramas. The audience feels that it is too long and does not feel rushed, allowing the audience to keep watching with a sense of unfinished content.”

"In addition, the main plot and sub-plots are intertwined, presenting richer content to the audience. Take the first five episodes as an example, which are also divided into main plots and sub-plots."

"The content of the main plot is very clear, which is Naoki Hansawa's search for the hidden assets of the businessman and the recovery of 500 million. The sub-plot is to deal with the pre-departure decision made by the head office and the inspection by the National Taxation Bureau. Whether it is the main plot or the sub-plot, the story They were all wonderfully drawn.”

"The creation methods of these stories all have certain models. For example, before the arrival of the IRS, Naoki Hansawa stole important information from the data room in advance, and when he was looking for information in the data room, The IRS prosecutor had already walked to the door. In this tense atmosphere, the audience's hearts were also suspended. The moment the prosecutor walked into the data room, Naoki Hansawa successfully found the data."

"And the same and similar plot also appeared in the sixth episode of "Hanzawa Naoki", but the audience will not be bored. It can be seen that this is a very easy-to-use model that can create tension and mobilize the audience's emotions. . You don’t have to be embarrassed, just copy it.” Kato Ensuke said frankly.

The screenwriters below said nothing, and sat with their heads down, taking notes.

"The career line of "Hansawa Naoki" is divided into a main line and a secondary line, but at the same time, there is a family line besides the career line."

"TV dramas often show some household chores and interactions between Banze Naoki and his wife. Although Banze's wife also gave Banze some help in his career at certain times, most of the plots about his wife It’s all outside the main plot.”

"So when I first started watching TV, I felt that this kind of plot about depicting family was unnecessary. But then I changed my mind... Kei Fujiwara, a genius like that, no matter how he writes, there is a high probability that he will be there himself The truth."

"I also asked my wife and daughter for their opinions before I figured it out. That is, although the story that happened in the bank is exciting, it can easily make people feel tired after watching it for a long time. Especially in the beginning, Banze faced the task of recovering 500 million yuan. Under tremendous pressure, facing the three opponents of the boss, the IRS, and the businessman, the audience also felt nervous and stressed."

"At this time, it is also good to properly tell some warm family life, which can let the audience's nervous brains rest. Many people even prefer to watch Banze's interaction with his wife."

"And Yoko Matsuo's popularity has reached a new level precisely because she played the role of Mrs. Hanzawa. This also proves that most viewers are not disgusted with these urgent situations."

"In addition, this drama is also remarkable in terms of presentation of ideas..."

Kato Ensuke spoke for more than two hours at a stretch, almost breaking up the script of "Hansawa Naoki" and telling it to other screenwriters. If Fujiwara Kei was there, he would probably be stunned.

After finishing speaking, Kato Ensuke took a sip of water and said: "That's it for today. Starting next week, everyone must read every work in which Fujiwara Kei participates in detail. After reading, remember to write An analysis of creative techniques will be handed in.”

After finishing speaking, he stood up again: "Fujiwara-kun is only half of my disciples, but you can still achieve such achievements. Many of you were even led by me, but now no one has produced particularly outstanding works. Come on, since the talent is not as good as others, there is no way to do it, so just redouble your efforts, as long as you spend enough effort, you may not be unable to climb to a high place."
