Chapter 010: The Leading Role is Confirmed! The Production Team is Established!

Although the male and female leads' salaries and some basic technical support will be provided for the production of the first film

Indeed, it is an outstanding script. The prospect of creating a Japanese version of Columbo is truly enticing. After reading the script, Tamura Masakazu repeatedly expressed his admiration.

The memory of "Kuzuhata Ninsaburo" stands out among numerous detective films and television dramas due to its unique qualities that contributed to its success

Moreover, this script is very professional, with the camera angles written in great detail

What are the distinctive features of this detective drama

This does not include the production costs; it should be noted that the production of dramas by Fuji Television is essentially contracted to Kyodo Television

This play is incredibly interesting

Masakazu Tamura, he is indeed a big star, how could this Kazuya Sōya manage to handle him

Oh dear, where exactly is the problem? Where could it be?

Well, it's just a small request, is that alright? How about we smile like Fukutake Ketsubin? How does that sound?

Tamura Masakazu is no longer young, yet at this moment, he behaves like a child

Therefore, Kōya Sō has absolute confidence

The genre of mystery and detective dramas is a very large category in Japan, with an overwhelming number of works. It can even be said that the people of this country seem to be in search of something.

However, no matter how you look at it, this 300,000 yen is not enough to make a film

Kazuya Sato, believe me, I will definitely work hard! Please!

And this is not the end

Is it really possible

Alternatively, why would Xiaoting Xiufu and other deputy ministers be attracted after viewing it as well

It is all right

Oh, then I have no choice but to give it a try, but you understand, it has to be linked to the ratings. If our show does not achieve good ratings, Director Xiao Ting will probably...

Should we invite a rakugo performer to make a guest appearance in the upcoming episodes

If Masakazu Tamura agrees, then this film can be shot immediately

Columbo

In the evening, the office of Fuji Television's Shinjuku building is quite lively

How is Tachikawa Danshi?

... ...

Kusano, that..." Team Leader Morita seemed to have found a savior, but he did not know how to express it properly

This statement is yet another test

Kusano Yuki is fully aware of this, not only adopting a pragmatic approach but also further strengthening it

He said: "Team Leader, Mr. Tamura Masakazu has already agreed to star in this play"

Indeed, this narrative technique is indeed inspired by the American television series "Columbo".

This play was originally performed by Masahiro Tamura; in terms of temperament, style, image, and acting skills, Masahiro Tamura is indeed the embodiment of Kōbata Ninsaburō

Team leader! 300,000 yen, is this all the money we have? What are we going to do?

Before long, he realized that the plan was successful

After all, we are Fuji Television.

In Japan, Koshigaya Ninsaburo often discovers the murderer through minute details, compelling the suspect to confess

Yuki Kono, holding a Doctor's degree in Film Studies and having studied in Japan, naturally possesses considerable research on mainstream Japanese films and television dramas

Now, as the supervisor, I announce the establishment of the production team for "Kuzuhata Ninsaburo"

Yuki Kono has been observing Masakazu Tamura, not wanting to miss any detail on the face of this renowned male actor

Upon the utterance of these words, Group Five fell silent immediately

The original work of "Kuzuhata Ninsaburo" was already quite intricate, and on this foundation, Yukinobu Kusano further emphasized this aspect

The greeting combined with names sounds quite humorous when read in Japanese, resembling a rakugo story

Of course, do not underestimate the act of purchasing bento boxes. A film crew typically consists of about 30 to 40 people, and in Japan, buying bento boxes for a day would cost at least several tens of thousands of yen

In fact, this is truly attributable to the uniqueness of the drama "Kuzuhata Ninsaburo"

Yes, I have made references.

Kusano Yukito realized that the superstar before him had already agreed, and indeed, he was very fond of rakugo

Masakazu Tamura seemed to be waiting for this sentence, "You know I like rakugo, so could you simply let me perform a piece of rakugo, how about it? What I mean is, at this beginning, you should understand."

"Kuzuhata Ninsaburo" is the title of this script, and upon opening the script, the first scene is described very clearly.

That is, how can one accomplish a perfect murder

As I continued to watch, I grew more and more fond of Masakazu Tamura

Perhaps, this is not an exaggeration

Originally, the budget issue of 300,000 yen had drawn the attention of the five group members, but at that time, no one paid attention to the details. However, now that they have fully understood the situation, they all feel that this matter is unreliable

Haha, this is just wonderful. Tamura Masakazu seems like an old child.

Oh. Tamura Masakazu was somewhat surprised; he thought to himself that this young man was indeed impressive, having done such an outstanding job in the preparations. However, he still did not want to agree so easily, saying, "But I feel like it's still lacking a bit."

At that moment, Yukiyama Sachi appeared

This amount of money is actually the budget for the entire five new projects

The entrance of Fujita Ninsaburo, speaking in the style of a rakugo storyteller

Yukino Kusano exerted great effort to prevent her face from distorting

However, Masakazu Tamura smiled again, "Ah, it must be Miss Akina Nakamori, right? Just thinking about the possibility of acting alongside her makes me really look forward to it"

I would like to advise my friends who have dogs: when naming your dogs, please do not use greetings, as the dog will interpret the greeting as its name. In that case, when you say the greeting, it is very likely that it will not respond to you, because dogs, well ...

So, how should it be filmed

The Joint Television Station is a subsidiary of Fuji Television, and even among close brothers, accounts must be settled clearly, and payment must be made

Kusano nodded, indicating that he understood.

What is this Tian Village doing right now?

Kusano Yukiyo and Tamura Masakazu find themselves increasingly in sync during their conversations, completely embodying the feeling of a friendship that transcends generations

In fact, the budget that each group of the Production Bureau can access is mostly additional funding. Simply put, it is used for expenses such as hiring extras and purchasing meals during certain filming activities

Then... the spark of uncontainable fire appeared in Kōya Sō's eyes

Yuki Kusano could only helplessly say, "Tamura-san, if you have any further requests, please let me know, after all, I am representing Fuji Television.

At the very beginning, the audience is informed of the identity of the murderer

At that moment, Masakazu Tamura began to laugh

How could one agree to that? What can 300,000 yen possibly buy?

Delicate

Kusano Yukito also laughed and said, "Miss Nakamori has already agreed."

Team leader, is it really just this amount of money? Is it true that the filming of this episode has already been contracted to the joint television station? And is this 300,000 an additional amount?

In fact, he understood very early on and was fully aware of how the other members of Group Five would think and how they would cause a commotion

This change reminded Koya Sachi of an animation called "Kabukicho Charlotte," in which, apart from the bearded cross-dresser, the rest consists of the male protagonist Charlotte's rakugo performances during each deduction.

Then ... ...

The leading role, confirmed

Mr. Tamura, do not go too far!

This is certainly a case of the fox assuming the majesty of the tiger, but Kono Yuki remains unflustered and composed, proving to be a serious and cautious individual

"Columbo" directly reveals who the true murderer is and how the murder was committed, and then allows Columbo to engage in reasoning, leading the murderer to confess to their crime.

Ha... that is wonderful, so who can we invite

It is not done this way at all now; this 300,000 still needs to find a production company, which will definitely be insufficient

Yukari Kusano is somewhat unexpected, but what can be said? "Alright, why not just take a fan at the beginning and perform rakugo in front of the folding screen, but it can only be for one minute."

He? I don't really like him

However, it also has its own characteristics, which are the distinctive features of Japanese mystery.

Team Leader Morita held his head in both hands as his team members bombarded him with questions and complaints
