"Chihara-sensei, sit, please take a seat!"

As soon as Rin Chihara entered the office, Ayumi Shiga came out from behind the wide desk, greeted him with open arms, enthusiastic, and couldn't help but look very attentive - he was happy for a reason, "Okuku's First Mihime" was unusually popular, in addition to the huge income from advertising fees, by the way, he sold a lot of garbage goods (Kanto United's operation department is very strong), and sold the broadcast rights to local franchised TV stations, but also brought him a lot of invisible benefits.

"Ao Ji" has been released to the present, and many counties and cities are very envious of the Aolu area for picking up this big bargain in vain, and have sent letters of contact to seek the possibility of cooperation, even if it cannot be selected as the filming location of Dahe drama, it is okay to cooperate with some variety shows, which is very popular.

Even the "Tourism and Culture Promotion Policy Improvement Office" under the Prime Minister's Office was shocked, believing that this high-quality Dahe opera, which is based on a specific region, would be of great help to the tourism industry in a certain area, and that it might be worth promoting.

People in the cultural circles also praised each other, and it was obvious that they began to look at the Kanto United with admiration, and the effect was better than when they won the season championship.

These are the embodiment of the ability of the Kanto Joint Production Bureau, and it is also his achievements as the director of the Production Bureau, which makes his face very bright - Chihara Rin is his subordinate, and his subordinates have made achievements, of course, he leads well, which is beyond doubt.

Recently, he has clearly felt that the representatives of the local franchise television stations have become more respectful and affectionate towards him, and it is more likely that these people will lean towards him when competing for the position of director in the future.

Of course, the success of "Oki Ogie" continues to enhance the influence of Kanto United Television, although the effect is not visible for a while, but it is also a great thing - influence is a very mysterious thing, it is completely useless for you to say how powerful you are, but with good results, you will be a hundred times more confident, and all parties in society will be more recognized.

He is the man who targets the director, and he also attaches great importance to this aspect.

That Chihara Rin has made such a great contribution, he will also be a man, pulled Chihara Rin to sit on the sofa, shh

When the tea came, he asked Rin Chihara to drink the tea first, and asked, "How did the chocolate taste last time?"

Rin Chihara took a sip of tea and said politely: "It's very good, I bothered you." ”

Shiga Ayuki's daily "Corporal Lixian", he ran outside the 23rd ward of Tokyo and couldn't hide, Shiga Ayumi didn't know where he heard that he likes to eat chocolate, so he sent someone to send a box over, so that he could eat and play at the shooting base, the reason was to replenish his physical and mental power - although it was not worth much, and nine times out of ten it was public expense, but people also had a heart, and they should still receive it.

He liked it, and Shiga Ayumi was very happy, and immediately said: "I made a special trip to ask a friend to bring it back from South America, and if you like it, I will help you get a few more boxes." ”

Chihara Rin didn't refuse, and said thank you with a smile, these are all small gifts for daily exchanges, and he and Murakami Iori also gave Shiga Ayumi.

"We don't need to be so polite to each other. Shiga Ayumi smiled with a fold on his fat face, and raised his hand to help Rin Chihara renew the tea, knowing that he was busy, he immediately asked with concern: "I came back on a special trip, did you encounter any problems during the shooting?"

The importance of "Oakie" is very high now, and he can't accept the halfway collapse, but he really cares, and Rin Chihara didn't be polite to him, and said directly, hoping to get all the supplementary budgets for "Oakie", and "Cold and Warm World" and other dramas will also add some budgets, and they will also be allocated to the crew's account.

Shiga Ayumi hesitated slightly, of course he knew about this, Murakami Iori was going to pass the formation committee, and the formation committee didn't mean to make it difficult for her, and directly gave the money - 70 million yen, I didn't dare to give it all, after all, Chihara Rin burned money a little hard, you give it all to him now, he burned even more fiercely, what should I do when I come back?

The meaning of the formation committee is to give slowly, lest the crew go crazy if they have money, they don't know moderation, and they want 1.2 billion when they are burned out - the crew has made it a facon, and then you will not give it? It is really not good not to give it, so you must not guard against it!

This is still true, Shiga Ayumi is the director of the bureau and it is not good to say much.

As for asking for budgets for other crews, those crews already have sufficient budgets, and the compilation committee is not a money-printing agency, so they must pursue cost-effectiveness, and thinking that cutting the budget is a daily routine, which wants to increase the budget for no reason...... That is, Rin Chihara is making a request, if he changes the producer, he will already be scolded at this time.

He also suspected that Rin Chihara was addicted to burning money, after all, the director and other main creative personnel have this problem, but Kanto United is a commercial TV station, making money is one thing, saving money is also important, even if it is a face project, you can't brainlessly pursue the shooting effect, I didn't dare to agree for a while, and asked hesitantly: "What is the reason for this?"

Rin Chihara also knows that this is not easy, the production bureau does not look at the scale, but in fact, it is quite picky, the toilet paper is reluctant to use a double layer, and some people don't dare to wipe their butts too hard, for fear of wiping out a hand - this thing is easy, Murakami Iori will do it, and will not let him come to Shiga Ayu, after all, Murakami Iori has a strong self-esteem in the workplace, and she easily refuses to say that she can't do it, and she is afraid that others will doubt her ability.

He and Shiga have the same interests, and they are not pretentious, and immediately said: "I think the future, at least in the second half of the year, the economic situation will not be too good, and the newspaper will ......."

Shigayu's pupils shrank, and his body sat up straight for three minutes: "What wind did you hear?"

"No, I guess. Rin Chihara's heart moved, and immediately asked, "Is the situation okay at the newspaper office?"

Shiga Ayuki's expression became cautious, and he looked at him carefully without a trace, thinking that after all, he was a capable leader in his faction, and he was born from the grassroots, and he had nothing to do with the parent group, so he said honestly: "The circulation seems to be about 4% year-on-year compared with last year, but in recent years, the newspaper market has been shrinking, and the decline is a matter of course, so there is no need to ...... Are you worried that the newspaper will take money from the TV station?"

He is also a smart person, and there is no need to be too complicated to speak between smart people, and he can understand what Chihara Rin means, but on the one hand, he is surprised that Chihara Rin has a keen reaction and a far-sighted vision, and on the other hand, he also thinks that he is a bit of a bow and a snake, and he is worried about the blind chicken.

About 650 people per 1,000 people have the habit of reading newspapers, excluding infants and students, in fact, they basically wipe out adult men and professional women, the world's top ten newspaper groups, said to account for six, five of which involve radio and television networks, one is the behind-the-scenes manipulator in the sports world, and the capital is extremely huge, in fact, it is a consortium, and its strength is unquestionable- Chaoyue TV is the newspaper group behind it because of the investment problem that was affected, but it didn't hurt the root, it was just a little breathless for a while, and other TV stations didn't have this problem.

He thought it was impossible, but Rin Chihara was still not at ease, and asked directly: "Then are you sure that the budget will not be cut in the future?" You can't make a good TV series without money, I hope that the ratings of this drama can reach more than 40%, and the budget reduction will affect the achievement of the goal." ”

"More than 40%?"

"That's right, the average ratings of the last episode have exceeded 36%, although because the broadcast period is too long, it is unlikely that the ratings will skyrocket by seven or eight percent at the end of the season, and the growth of the results will become slower and slower, but as long as it can develop steadily, there is still a lot of hope for breaking through 40%. Rin Chihara didn't tell a lie, but emphasized: "The premise is that the money can keep up." ”

Shiga Ayumi's heart moved, he was already very satisfied with the current results, just enjoying the thrill of success, and he hadn't started to think about anything else at all, but at this moment he suddenly became interested, and tentatively said: "What about the 42.7%?"

42.7% is the highest rating of Taiga drama maintained by "Mito Yellow Gate", if it can be achieved, although it seems to have no practical significance, but the first and second are a bit different in terms of TV promotion, and Chihara Rin is not false, nodding directly: "I'm working hard with this goal." ”

To do it, you have to do the best thing, to be able to compete for the first place and never consider retreating to the second, this is the character of the people of Chihara Rin - strive to win, I want to say all ways to win!

Therefore, he wasted so much effort for the drama "Ao Ji", and he was unwilling to come back without fighting for a big river drama, and it was nothing to tell Shiga Ayumi directly - if he really couldn't fight, there was no way, no one in this industry could really guarantee results.

Shiga Ayumi looked at Rin Chihara's confident appearance, and was very relieved that his subordinates could come up with results without urging, which was really happy, and immediately asked, "The 43.9% ratings are ...... Are you sure?"

43.9% is the highest rating record made by Rin Chihara himself, and Shiga Ayumi's eyes are blazing, as if he is hoping that Rin Chihara will make a great deal and achieve another great result - and break the record of the highest ratings, even if it is a record held by his own TV station, this publicity can still greatly enhance the influence of the TV station.

But this thing is not very confident in Chihara Rin people, just like running a hundred meters, running from eleven seconds to ten seconds, even if it is a normal person to practice well, it is not too difficult, but from ten seconds to nine seconds, it is a professional athlete, you have to spend a lot of effort, and you run to around nine seconds and seven, every millisecond reduced is more difficult, it is definitely an epic battle.

It's the same for ratings, in the golden age of TV programs, 40% of TV dramas are rare, but there are often one or two a year, which is not very unusual, equivalent to running into nine seconds and seven, but after 40%, even if you advance by 0.1 percentage point, luck will account for more and more - when you really accumulate good results, maybe it can be related to the weather across the country.

Originally, it was almost hot, if the weather in Kanto and Kansai was bad, and the people were forced to stay at home, maybe the ratings would have broken the record inexplicably, but in case the weather was too bad, such as a big typhoon or something, maybe it could have broken the record, but some viewers couldn't watch it if they wanted to, either they couldn't receive the signal or they were busy reinforcing the house, and they could have broken the record and burped, not to mention it.

42.7% is a great challenge, and it is only Chihara Rin that this kind of open goods can still have confidence, dare to regard this as a goal, but then it is almost pure luck, and he doesn't dare to give Shiga Ayumu more expectations, and he groaned and said: "I can only say that I try to fight for it." ”

He said a little vaguely, but Shiga Ayumi was not too disappointed, anyway, it was his own record, it didn't matter if he couldn't break it, it was a blessing to be able to snatch the highest rating record of Taiga drama from NHK, and after thinking about it, he said: "If you look at it this way, it makes sense to be worried, and for the sake of the new record, you should be careful." In this case, you can ask Miss Murakami to make another report, and I will communicate privately with the members of the compilation committee, and try to get the money to you in advance. ”

He was persuaded by Chihara Rinto, and he also figured it out, since the results are already very good now, then he should pursue better results, and it is worth risking Chihara Rin to burn more money, but he is still a little uneasy, and advised: "But don't increase the overall budget again, otherwise I am afraid it will cause many people to be dissatisfied." ”

The more money you take, the less money others have, and the easier it is to attract hostility, this truth is understood by Rin Chihara, and he doesn't plan to burn more money, so he just responds in one bite, "Please rest assured, "Okie" will not improve again, but other crews ......"

Other crews also have to add budgets, and they have to take away all the budgets at once, which Shiga Ayumi also scratched his head a little bit, but he muttered there for a while, considering that Chihara Rin would go to shoot Taiga drama because of his personal request, it was obviously not good to shoot or it was a good response, and he was even ready to take the opportunity to challenge the new record, and now he wants to help, although it is very difficult, but it is not good to refuse in one bite.

At the same time, he also understands why Chihara Rin did this, in case the budget cut really happens, then the crew of "Okugi" will not be affected, and the other crews will be nervous, and those people will have opinions - this is something that Chihara Rin must consider, just like he needs to let Chihara Rin work hard, he must take into account Chihara Rin's feelings.

Rin Chihara hopes that his subordinates will work hard and will absolutely obey his orders, so it is normal to help his subordinates get more money and keep them fed and clothed.

He finally nodded: "It's okay to paddle it all over, as for the added part...... Let Miss Murakami make up the reason. The implication is that he will try to get as much budget as possible, but how much he can get is up to fate!

I was content to be able to take more Chihara Rinren, and immediately thanked him and was very happy, and Shiga Ayumi was equally happy, drinking tea and chatting with him for a few words, remembering one thing, and smiling at him: "By the way, do you remember the theater version that I told you last time?"

"Yes. Chihara Rin said casually, Kanto United wants to make money through the theater route, and planned the filming of the theatrical version of "Jumping the Great Search Line", and he wrote the script "The Worst Three Days", "Didn't Nichinan Pictures disagree, the bureau has found a new partner?"

The TV station itself does not have the qualifications for cinema and distribution, so it has to be jointly engaged in with others, Shiga Ayumu really found one, and said with a smile: "Dujing Pictures has the intention of cooperation, and is more optimistic about this project, currently talking, do you want to meet them next time we meet?"

"Metropolitan Pictures?" Rin Chihara recalled, he had also been here for two and a half years, and he had an impression of this film company, and said in amazement: "Why did you choose such a one?"

The scale of Dujing Cinema is not small, and the strength of the cinema chain is not weak, and it can be spread across the country, but ...... This has a very bad reputation, their main business is to engage in H color, and they are famous for making low-cost eighteen banned films - the box office of H color is not too bad, the cost is usually not high, in fact, it is very oily.

It's just that our serious TV station cooperates with them, and this X grid is a bit too low, right?
