Tokyo: Bubble, but the system is Sengoku.
Chapter 58 Beyond the Script
Recalling the details of their previous chance encounter, Nakamori became a little curious.
"Nakamori-san?"
The agent's voice interrupted the girl's thoughts.
"Okay, let's go."
Nakamori withdrew his gaze and strode forward.
Anyway, if the boy is still here, we'll run into him sooner or later.
As for not being here, there's no need to talk about anything.
"it is good."
Although the manager didn't know what the old lady was doing, he still breathed a sigh of relief.
I don't know what's wrong with idols these days. I heard that even the pharmacist Maru-san in the industry has a bad temper, but this one is even more outrageous.
The agent still felt a little scared when he thought about how Nakamori almost got into a fight with his boss.
"Um?"
"What's wrong?"
Sanada looked at Sato, whose gaze had drifted away, and asked.
"I saw someone I know."
"You know someone here, an old flame?"
Sanada spoke with a hint of sarcasm.
"No, and in terms of looks, my senior brothers are more likely to be good-looking."
Sato's gaze swept toward the group of bunny girls.
Although the show was about to start, quite a few bunny girls were still eager to try.
"Don't be envious, you'll be soon too."
Sanada replied.
He felt that even without waiting for "Shadow Legion" to air, the show would become popular as soon as the promotion began.
After all, their abilities are indeed high.
In such a short time, his action skills have already rivaled his own, and even the wire work skills that he himself doubted he could adapt to so quickly have been mastered by his opponent.
Moreover, his recent sparring sessions with his opponent have been incredibly frustrating due to their agile movements.
This only covers action scenes, not to mention acting skills and appearance.
In short, he is definitely a future super rookie.
"But don't mess around too much."
Sanada thought for a moment, then his playful expression turned serious as he gave his instructions.
"I understand."
The two didn't chat for long before recording began.
Answering questions and watching videos of previous outdoor scenes were all new experiences for the boy.
It was completely different from what I saw on TV; the conversation was so engaging that it was hard to get a word in edgewise.
Or rather, it's quite difficult to be a skilled interjector.
This isn't a normal chat. If the conversation goes cold once or twice, it's fine, but if it happens too often, people will find it annoying.
Moreover, these conversations can't be purely scripted. While the general direction may follow the script, the details still need to be handled by the artists themselves.
Most of the "celebrities" here are not actors, but comedians who appear specifically on variety shows.
Don't be fooled by the fact that they're comedic characters; the head of the group can earn more money than the actors.
Simply put, a top comedian can host a show and maintain a viewership rating of over 20%, which is more profitable than a popular actor starring in a TV series with a viewership rating of 20.
Television programs primarily rely on viewership ratings to earn revenue from pre- and post-show fees.
Among them, TV series not only have a larger production investment, but also require more actors and staff, including special effects artists, costume designers, prop teams, and other miscellaneous roles. With everyone sharing such a small commission, it's no wonder that they can't make a lot of money.
Variety show hosts are fewer in number, and the expenses for filming and set design are also less, so they naturally receive more money.
In this respect, he can't be envious now; finding a few male celebrities to endorse him would be the best outcome.
Sato was thinking to himself while also observing and learning attentively. Although he could never become a comedian, basic conversational skills were still necessary.
You can't just have awkward small talk during promotions, so the more you talk and the more clearly you can explain the highlights of a TV series or movie, the better.
"Speaking of which, it's rare for Chiba-san to come all this way, and it's all for publicity. I'm so sad."
While Sato was observing, the program's host, in a humorous Kansai accent, shifted the topic to Chiba, and also brought up their main mission.
"That's a rather distant thing to say, Saito-san."
Chiba smiled and continued the conversation.
Facts have proved that ginger is still spicy.
Although they weren't good at creating topics, they chatted enthusiastically under the host's guidance, and there were no awkward or silent moments.
After the two exchanged a few more words, the host's gaze immediately turned towards Sato.
"This must be the new character in this drama. How's it going, Sato-kun? Are you getting used to filming?"
The question was exactly the same as the script, and Sato sat up straighter upon hearing it.
"Yes, although we encountered many difficulties, thanks to the guidance of our seniors, things went relatively smoothly."
"Now is not the time to throw out the joke," Sato replied seriously.
Not to mention, even if you asked him to deliver a punchline, he wouldn't know how.
"I see."
The host responded, his gaze sweeping over the boy before saying, "I heard you have a public photoshoot next week. Could you give us a sneak peek at the action sequences and such?"
The host's words were not from the script, and the boy was taken aback when he heard them.
This person wasn't trying to make things difficult for him or giving him a chance, since the two of them had only exchanged one sentence. It's highly likely that he wanted to boost the ratings through his own efforts.
Anyway, we're definitely going to have to play GG, but awkward conversations while playing GG can easily cause people who aren't the audience for Shadow Legion to change the channel. So, of course we need to do something.
The absence of a script does not mean the host will not create one.
Whether it's making a fool of themselves or actually putting on a great fight, these can all be factors that keep viewers engaged on the show.
The more viewers he has, the more money he earns.
However, even though Sato didn't know much, he knew that, generally speaking, this kind of operation should first notify the production team, and then the production team should discuss it with Chiba before adding it to the script.
Here, it was brought up directly during filming, and no one else seemed to object; in fact, they appeared to take it for granted.
Kansai seems rather abstract.
Just as Sato's idea came to mind, Chiba chimed in.
"Of course, no problem."
"Alright, click!"
The supervisor spoke up, and the lively atmosphere in the center of the studio cooled down.
The bright smiles that everyone had in front of the camera were gone.
"Sorry, I just suddenly thought this would generate more buzz, haha."
Saito walked over and spoke to Chiba in a very casual manner.
The people around them, including Chiba, seemed unfazed.
"It's okay, this is good for us too."
Chiba said.
"That's just how he is. He's quite famous, and he's pretty casual when he does shows."
Sanada explained to Sato in a low voice.
"There are more people like this in Kansai, mostly middle-aged men."
Sato nodded in agreement upon hearing Sanada's words.
That kind of middle-aged man is a typical example of Japanese male chauvinism; he became arrogant after gaining popularity.
They think I'm the best, while most people are just ordinary folks, so they don't bother with discussions or anything like that.
However, the production team did need the other party to maintain their popularity, and the other party might have a close relationship with higher-ups, so they indulged them.
Moreover, if it really needs to be discussed, the production team has to hold a meeting to discuss the shooting length and so on, which goes back and forth, and the production team probably finds it annoying too.
Rules are ultimately made by people.
As for whether there are any harms, there really aren't.
On the contrary, Sato and his team got a chance to perform.
"Get ready. After we start recording again, we'll perform the third set of movements from our practice session. The wooden sword will be ready here."
Chiba quickly returned from the production crew, his face serious.
