Unlike China where investors make TV series and then sell them to TV stations, Japan's TV series market is more like the model of China's previous online video era. The TV stations (websites) all pay for and shoot the programs themselves, and after shooting, they will only broadcast them exclusively on their own TV stations to grab ratings. Basically, they won't broadcast each other's TV series. Chapter 129 Reversal Detective The situation like in China where a TV series becomes popular and all TV stations broadcast it in rotation will never happen in Japan. Therefore, under such a market model, each Japanese TV station has developed its own production bureau model. Since each TV station has its own production department. Of course, you can just shoot whatever you want. Spend money to purchase TV series? Not interested at all!

~~~ Then why can Ping Qingshan do this business under such a model? It’s actually very simple, because of his identity. It is also due to the current relationship with TV Tokyo. To put it bluntly, he just made a terrible movie. It can also be sold. Of course, if a terrible movie is to be made, then this favor can only be sold once or twice, if it is sold more than that, the company will go bankrupt. ~~~ Compared to the liveliness of Sony's Sakura Girls planning team. Ping Qingshan's personal studio is really not very popular. "We still have to recruit people quickly." Although that is what he said, in fact, since the establishment of Ping Qingshan's personal production bureau, there have been quite a few people. His team members were all poached from Sony. There were about a dozen people who joined the company, including Mingguang Oze and Xiongyi Anshang who jumped from Sony, and the screenwriter team and filming team that followed them. We can recruit people in groups. On the one hand, Ping Qingshan gave them a raise, and on the other hand, it was because of the abilities Ping Qingshan demonstrated during the filming of "Battle Royale". For many people, a capable boss is something they can only encounter by chance. Plus the celebration banquet at that time. Ping Qingshan called out the names one by one and gave out red envelopes one by one. Finally, a scene appeared where Ping Qingshan's call received a huge response.

of course. Another big reason for this situation is that Ping Qingshan is currently in a honeymoon period with Sony, and Sony is willing to give Ping Qingshan face and release him. As for Nakamura Sakegami, he came alone. In fact, at the beginning, Ping Qingshan did not invite Nakamura to drink. After all, after the success of the Battle Royale project, Nakamura has become qualified enough to serve as the chief producer. Even in Sony, they can be said to be a backbone force. Ping Qingshan also didn't want to use favors to force the other party. But Nakamura Sakegami came to the door on his own initiative. And as soon as it comes. "I have submitted my resignation from Sony." He rejected all the polite words that Ping Qingshan wanted to say. "You guy..." Ping Qingshan was moved and relieved. A good producer is like a butler who can make the logistics perfect. Once Nakamura Sake came on board, the framework of Hira Kiyoshige's team was almost complete. The rest can be completed by Nakamura Sakumi himself for Ping Qingshan. After confirming the manpower, Hira Kiyon also dragged Kasumigaoka Utaha in, and even Eriri got a position as an assistant. Faced with a sudden job invitation. There are still differences in the reactions of the two girls. After careful consideration, Kasumigaoka Utaha decided to join, but she requested an independent screenwriter's office, and the office must be next to Hira Kiyoshige. But Eriri is much simpler. He didn't even listen to how much Ping Qingshan would pay, and he just came in. Eriri was full of enthusiasm for the job and started to perform the duties of "personal assistant" the next day. Not only did he clean up Ping Qingshan's office, he also placed a desk for drawing in Ping Qingshan's office. Ping Qingshan was not there this morning. The girl came to work on time. The reason why Ping Qingshan invited Eriri. I was thinking of waiting a few days, getting the comic adaptation of Battle Royale, and then letting the girl draw the comic. But... seeing Eriri like this, Ping Qingshan couldn't say much.

~~~ Although everything in Ping Qingshan's studio is still in its infancy. But the work has to begin. Ping Qingshan called all the old acquaintances over. Daize Mingguang, Nakamura Shuue, Anshang Xiongyi, Kasumigaoka Shiwa, even Eriri and Umi were all called over. He can trust these people. When they arrived at the meeting room, Ping Qingshan didn't waste any words. What do you want to shoot for your studio's first production? Ping Qingshan had the idea at the beginning of the year. It’s not a movie, it’s not a TV series, it’s a variety show. His plan was to use a short and fast variety show to quickly gain experience, appear on TV, and achieve initial profits and accumulate word of mouth. After setting the goal, he quickly got into work mode. Having given a lecture to the people from Tokyo TV this morning, Ping Qingshan was still quite expressive at the moment. He took out a stack of information and gave it to everyone. "This is the initial draft of the project for 'Reversal Detective'. The handwriting is a bit sloppy. Please take a look at it first. We will discuss it in detail later." Everyone immediately buried their heads in reading the documents. "Reversal Detective" is not a traditional variety show project. It is essentially similar to the Korean and Chinese "Star Detective". In the past, this type of detective-themed variety show was popular for a long time. For example, Mango TV's "Who's the Detective" has even reached its eighth season in one go, and has basically been turned into an annual show. There are countless extended programs of sitcom, detective and mystery-solving. This type of program is a typical script + guest reaction program. If you want the show to be good, the script must be good. The case setting should be interesting. Secondly, the guests must be interesting and able to fit into the scene. Seeing everyone flipping through the plan, Ping Qingshan didn't hesitate to drag over a whiteboard and began to introduce the general format and selling points of this variety show. "The selling points of this project are mainly divided into two parts: one is the case, and the other is the guests' reactions. When we invite guests, we must pay attention to let them really get into the plot, just like acting in a sitcom." “The whole program planning is divided into three steps.”

"Let me first talk about the guests. The guests of the show will be divided into three camps, namely criminals, suspects, and detectives..." There are two biggest differences between "Reversal Detective" and previous detective shows. One is the plot. Ping Qingshan adapted the classic cases from the previous life's "Ace Attorney" game and put them into the script. The name Ace Attorney was very famous in the previous life. Capcom relies on this IP. First edition, reprint, high definition, extras, all kinds of fun. From Naruhodō's trilogy, to Onii-sama, to the great reversal, and then to the reversal prosecutor. The quality of the entire series is mixed. But generally speaking, there aren't any terrible works. The reason why Ace Attorney has been so successful is closely related to its vivid characters and the tension of the plot. Chapter 130 Preparation What’s even more amazing is that Ace Attorney is essentially a unit drama, and the connection between each case is not actually strong. Very suitable for adaptation. At the beginning, Ping Qingshan actually wanted to adapt it into a TV series. But later, I decided to shoot variety shows first. Once the variety shows become popular, I can shoot TV series or even movies. One fish can eat many. Specifically, the variety show "Reversal Detective". Ping Qingshan disassembled the gameplay of "Who's the Detective", combined it with the plot, and changed many details. First of all, we need to draw our identity. Search for testimony. But there was an additional trial session. The trial environment is that the key NPC comes forward and the guests act as lawyers to conduct the trial. NPCs are actually professional actors. After all, in Ace Attorney, it would be difficult to reproduce the feeling of those distinctive characters if the characters were simply performed by guests. The NPC's testimony is written by the crew, and the guests can shout out the classic "objection" to the witness' testimony based on the clues they searched for. Once the "objection" is successful, key information can be obtained. In addition to NPCs, the guests in the game, that is, the suspects, must also be "tried" It is equivalent to an occasion for mutual debate.

After all the trials are over, the final vote is held. Simply speaking, the whole program is not very complicated, but the main creators, especially Anshang Xiongyi, listened very carefully and kept writing down the key points. They are equivalent to the auxiliary creative team of this variety show. The main creators proposed the ideas, and they were responsible for checking for omissions, enriching the details, and making corresponding shooting plans.
