　　Using "remote video" to create suspense

　　The fourth season of the longevity drama "Housekeeping Three Gardens" started on April 24, but after the first episode was broadcast, there was a work stoppage and it was impossible to maintain the normal update. However, the dedicated crew still airs a special episode on May 29, with Japan in an emergency as the background. The 48-minute plot is all done by remote shooting.

　　Audiences suffering from the epidemic probably laughed when they saw this episode. Under the epidemic, remote office work and video conferencing have almost become the normal way of life for office workers. The special chapter of "Housekeeping husband three fields" uses the element of "remote video" to construct an interesting black humorous story.

　　At the beginning of the series, there was a video call between a wife who was living in Tokyo and her husband who was on a business trip: In the evening, the husband was still working overtime in the branch, and the voice of his subordinates was heard from time to time in the video. After hanging up the call, the husband was relieved. It turned out that the "office" was just a video background, and the so-called "subordinate" was just a recorded audio. He was actually at his lover's home. The next day, my husband suddenly received a video call from "Housekeeper" (note: the man in charge of housework) from Santianyuan: My wife was mysteriously missing. San Tianyuan also found a private investigator's investigation report at home. It turned out that his wife had long known that her husband was cheating, and even the lover's address was clearly found.

　　Distraught, her husband kept "turning over" while remote video, and made a lot of jokes: because he did not know how to quit the multi-person video conference, he inadvertently heard his subordinates saying bad things about himself; after turning on the camera, he forgot to add a background and exposed The fact that I was derailed...

　　The special chapter is opened from the perspective of the husband. There are only three main scenes in the whole article: the three fields in Shibata’s home, the video conference between the husband and the subordinates, and the video call between the husband and the third. These scenes appear in the form of computer dialog boxes on the husband. Computer desktop. The three scenes are basically single camera shooting, only the front close-up shot of the analog computer camera is very cost-effective.

　　The series knows how to use the "stage" of the computer desktop to create dramatic effects. There is a scene in the play where the lover is coquettish on the video call, the husband can’t help but kiss the camera, and on the left of the computer desktop is the photo of his wife staring at the camera... It’s just a remote shooting without meeting, but The feeling of "Sura Field" is coming out.

　　"Golden King" wrote a set of contemporary fables

　　Both "Housekeeping Three Fields" and "It is only now that new dramas are to be produced" make use of "remote video" as an essay. "Living" written by Sakamoto Yu's "Living" is off the beaten track, creating a set of metaphorical contemporary fables.

　　The story begins with a dialogue between a writer struggling on the edge of the deadline (Chenfu Abe) and a small chestnut (the voice of Tan Mi). The writer asked Xiao Lizi: What are the advantages of human beings? Where is the future of humanity? What shall we do next? Starting from these questions, the writer wrote four short stories: "Neanderthals" starring Hirose Alice and Sister Hirose, about a pair of Neanderthal sisters who fell in love with Homo sapiens. The story of the difficult choice between feelings and ethnic survival; "Borders" starring Yongtai Yingtai and Yongshan Xuandou brothers, the story takes place in the future after experiencing the Internet war; "Kanto Boil and Beer" starring Mingqing and Zhongli Yisha couples return In Sakamoto’s style, he tells how a husband who has mastered hypnotism responds to his wife’s nagging; Aoki Aoki and Yuka’s couple, “Jing Yuan,” is about “Can you change reality if your life is alive again?” s story. Each story is co-starred by relatives/siblings and couples, not only full of gimmicks, but also able to perform in the same frame.

　　Sakamoto Yuji's previous episodes are all known for their reality and detail, but this time he regarded "Living" as an experiment. The four short stories are more like the sparks of the gleam, the lack of the inheritance and transition of the series, coupled with the simple conditions restricted by remote shooting, many viewers believe that the level of "Living" has not met expectations. However, Sakamoto Yuji, who is known as the "King of Golden Sentences", still contributed a lot of gold sentences in his lines: "The best invention of human beings is only related to Dongzhu and beer." "The future is in the past, not each other. Cut off." "The deadline is like a haunted house. Before the ghost appears, it always makes people feel terrified. After it appears, it is completely not afraid."

　　"It's just now that a new drama is about to be made"

　　Warm Japanese dramas provoke tears

　　NHK's 30-minute mini-drama "It's just now about to make a new drama" launched in May. There are three episodes, each episode is an independent story. The story is also launched with "remote video", but this drama has a warm feeling. The Japanese, who have always been good at making chicken soup, ask a question in the play: Does physical distance make people's hearts more distant or closer?

　　In the second episode, a very extreme "distance" was set: Xiaori Xiangwenshi and Takeshita Kyoko played an elderly couple separated by yin and yang. Through video and telephone communication, they unraveled the unresolved knot of living together for decades. Xiaori Xiangwenshi played the man of an insurance agency, Daoan. One day, he suddenly received a video call, and the screen turned out to be his wife who passed away earlier. The wife's next words made him even more surprised: "I want to divorce you!" The wife gave him a chance: she prepared 10 questions about herself, as long as you answered more than 6 questions, you don't need to divorce: "You always put The guest's information is memorable, you should remember my information?"

　　In the process of answering the questions, the couple remembered many wonderful memories and began to open their hearts to each other. Suddenly his wife said: "Until that day, the day you fell is our 40th anniversary of marriage." It turned out that it was not the wife who died, but the Daoman-Daoman fell suddenly during work, the day after that, The wife inadvertently dialed the office's video call and saw that the husband on the screen was still memorizing customer information as before. The wife wanted to tell Dao Nan the fact that he had died, but every time he would be hung up.

　　Finally, the wife thought of using "divorce" as a guise for an opportunity to talk deeply with her husband. After Dao Nan finally understood his wife's intentions, his wife's words came to the point: "You who were close and far away from the horizon, now become far away and reachable again."

　　There are only two scenes in the 30-minute episode: Dao Nan's studio and his wife's living room. Although the picture is monotonous, because of the extensive use of positive close-ups, the delicate performances of the two old dramas have become the highlight of the show.
