Chapter 299: Expectation

Chihara Rin walked all the way into the TV station production bureau building, and the people he met were a little distracted, and he could faintly feel that people's hearts were floating, and there was a taste of impending wind and rain, and when he walked into Murakami Iori's office, he looked at Murakami Iori in a circle with his eyebrows furrowed, and he looked uncertain, and this feeling was even deeper.

When Iori Murakami saw him coming, he immediately asked, "Did Director Shiga call you?"

She asked this once, this was to ask if Chihara Rin had received a call on the way here, and Chihara Rin shook his head, sat directly on the reception sofa, and asked, "Is the news reliable?"

Murakami Iori hesitated for a moment: "There should be seven or eight points of reliability, they are all spreading." ”

Something really happened, last night when they were holding a celebration and condolence party, Kiyoshi Takemoto, chairman of the board of directors of the Kanto United Television Station, suddenly suffered an ischemic stroke at home, which is commonly known as cerebral infarction, and was directly sent to the hospital for rescue, and the current situation is unknown.

Of course, this is the matter, they don't care much about the life and safety of the director of Takemoto Kiyoshi, after all, the two sides are a little far apart, and they can't deal with each other on weekdays, almost like strangers, and they can't care if they want to, they are concerned about who will take over the position of director.

Cerebral infarction is not a joke, the onset is urgent, the fatality rate is high, even if it can be rescued, there are very large sequelae, even if Takemoto Kiyoshi saves his life, there is a high probability that he will not be able to cope with the daily heavy work of a large commercial TV station, that is, there is a high probability that he will retire and be replaced as the director - if he is not rescued, it will be even more simple, and the director will not be replaced.

Then for them, it is a question of whether Ayumu Shiga can become the head of the station.

The grasp is still very large, after all, Shiga Ayumi as the deputy director and director of the production bureau itself has the attribute of "prince", and the director faction has always had a dominant position in the TV station, and it seems logical to take over, but the Kanto United Television Station is a merger, and there is a large list of deputy directors, so it is not uncommon for the "prince" to overturn the "prince" on the throne in history, and no one can say for sure whether Shiga Ayumi can really sit on the "dragon chair".

Chihara Rin was also there to figure out how likely Shiga Ayu's promotion was, anyway, according to his and Murakami Iori's age, qualifications and background, the director would not be able to die ten times in a row, so for them, it was naturally the most cost-effective for Shiga Ayu's old boss to be promoted to the director.

It's just that he can't even get first-hand information now, and he relies on listening to rumors, so even if he wants to do something, he can't do anything -- what's going on with Director Takemoto? Can he be rescued? Will there be sequelae after being rescued? Will he really retire?

Even these are unknown!

He pondered for a while and felt that he couldn't start, so he could only sit stupidly and wait for the news, while Iori Murakami took out his mobile phone from time to time to look at it, frowning and said, "It's too sudden......"

Chihara Rin was able to calm down, and said with a smile: "Birth, old age, sickness and death, human nature, Director Takemoto is not in good health. ”

If Takemoto Kiyoshi is healthy, it is estimated that Shiga Ayumi is not so anxious to produce results, and he is going to make a big river drama, and he is pushing to make a "movie" - this guy has long been looking forward to being the director, and he also hopes to take over the power smoothly, so as not to have too many people who oppose him, but he probably hopes that the director will retire smoothly, not a cerebral infarction and go to the hospital.

With this contingency, the variables are a little bigger.

Iori Murakami just said casually, Takemoto Kiyoshi, a dry old man in his sixties and seventies, is not surprised to have any illness. She was silent for a while, looked at Rin Chihara, and asked seriously, "Are we sure we want to support Shiga?"

In the workplace, standing in line is also very important, if you don't stand on the side of the winner, it is very likely that you will be settled after the autumn, at least there is a high probability that you will be hung up.

"Of course. Rin Chihara knew that Iori Murakami was just making sure, so he didn't hesitate at all: "Even if we don't talk about personal relationships, supporting him will benefit us the most, and his chances of winning will be higher." ”

"But if he wants us to speak directly, it won't work out in the end......"

"That's nothing, whoever comes to power, they have to use us. ”

Ratings are the biggest confidence, Chihara Rin doesn't worry about anything, no matter how bad it is, it can't be bad, and Murakami Iori is not as optimistic as him, and muttered: "That's what I said, but Shiga Ayumi failed to be promoted to director, and the director faction is not the director faction, so it won't be too convenient for us to do something in the future, right?"

Rin Chihara looked at her with gains and losses, couldn't help but smile, and comforted: "It's useless to think about this now, be patient and wait." ”

Murakami Iori gave him a blank look, you kid just burn money, but I don't know how difficult it is to pick out the budget, equipment and personnel from the formation committee, can we do it without support from this high-level person?

Wait patient, you guy really doesn't have a backache when you stand and talk!

All along, she has been doing smoothly, Chihara Rin has been leading the team to produce results, she can easily loosen the position of high authority if she manages the logistics chores, and naturally hopes that the environment is the best without waves, but now that there is an emergency, the variables have skyrocketed, which really makes her tremble - what she didn't expect at all, the best situation should be that Takemoto is sober-minded and hands over power to Shiga Ayuki, and then they can still enjoy the shade under the big tree as the iron core of Shiga Ayu.

She didn't say anything more, and then kept looking at her phone, waiting for the news to come further.

You must care, Kanto United TV is a commercial TV station, in fact, it is similar to a large company, then changing the director is equivalent to changing the president + chairman, it is not too much to say "change the day", it is not too much to say "change the day", it is not okay not to care - Kanto United has changed the owner, even if Shiga Ayumi becomes the director, will it still adhere to the current business policy, these must be inquired about, and you should know it as soon as possible.

But they waited in vain, Shiga Bu's mobile phone was turned off, and he kept following Takemoto's side to "do his filial piety", and he didn't return to the TV station at all that day, and it took a day and a half before he appeared.

............

"Chihara-sensei, Miss Murakami, welcome. Shiga Bu was still the same, with a big-eared posture, and when he saw two subordinates get up to greet him, he said apologetically: "I'm sorry to keep you waiting." ”

"It's nothing, you've worked hard. "Rin Chihara and Iori Murakami saluted together, and they didn't mind at all.

No one is more stupid than anyone else these days, Shiga Ayuki is a hot stove now, there are too many people who rush to add firewood, and there is no way to wait, not to mention that they can come in and have already cut the queue - Shiga Ayumi has not forgotten them, and as soon as he returns to the TV station, he immediately sends someone to call them, and he really treats them as irons.

The reception room was surrounded by smoke, it is estimated that a lot of big smoking guns have swallowed clouds and spit out fog here just now, the two sides sat down separately, Shiga Ayumi poured tea for them with his own hands, and sighed: "Eventful, time is pressing, there is no time to make tea for the two of you, please don't mind." ”

Iori Murakami didn't even take a look at the tea, but just said tentatively: "Director Takemoto, he ......"

Bu Hebu put down the teapot, and the expression on his face became heavy: "The situation is not optimistic, although the rescue is back, there is no danger to life for a while, but now I can't even speak clearly, eh......"

He sighed, looking worried, and Chihara and Murakami also nodded heavily, expressing great concern about the director's brain damage - whether it was true or not, whether it was hypocrisy or not, he had to show this expression now.

Then, it was Iori Murakami who spoke, and said with a serious expression: "Director Shiga, don't worry too much, Yoshito has his own natural appearance." ”

"Let's hope!" Shiga Ayumi sighed lightly again, and his eyes fell on Rin Chihara and Iori Murakami: "It's really a pity that I was able to use Kanto TV as a basis to persuade newspaper groups and banks to invest, quickly integrate a number of small TV stations, and finally create the Kanto Union, you can't imagine how difficult it is in this process - Director Takemoto is a very powerful and far-sighted person, and he has always been my longing goal, but I didn't expect it to be ...... because of physical reasons."

Chihara Rin nodded silently, he was able to create a commercial TV station with close to the national broadcasting rights, saying that it was impossible for the old man Takemoto Kiyoshi to be not powerful, and such a bold and action-oriented person actually withdrew from the stage of history because of a cerebral infarction, and his career ended completely, which is indeed a bit regrettable - life is limited, never wait for anyone, and I have to take advantage of the absence of illness and disaster, and do more.

He felt something in his heart, his expression was more sincere, and he comforted: "Don't worry too much, I don't want to see you like this." ”

Shiga nodded slowly, as if he felt worthy of Chihara-sensei, it was really a casual wise saying, thought-provoking, and immediately said seriously: "Chihara-sensei is right, there is no point in sadness, the most important thing to do now is to finish the unfinished business of Director Takemoto - let Kanto United truly become the world's top big TV station!"

Iori Murakami and Rin Chihara nodded together to carry on Kiyoshi Takemoto's legacy...... No, the director is not dead yet, it should be said that inheriting the director's unfinished business due to illness is better than saying that he wants to be the director, Shiga Ayumi is a particular person!

This is the time for the drama to come, and when the time to stand in line has come, they immediately said in unison: "If there is anything we can do, please just give orders." ”

Shiga straightened his waist, and his sad expression was followed by a faint excitement - even if the "prince" was not looking forward to the death of the "emperor", but the "emperor" died For the "prince", sadness may be there, but I am afraid it is more excitement - he directly took out two documents and handed them them, his tone was very affectionate, revealing a sense of heart: "This is the six-year development outline of the TV station that I have preliminarily formulated, you can help me correct it." ”

Just like the prime minister's campaign, the prime minister needs to promise voters benefits such as "reducing the unemployment rate to below 1.5%", "building low-cost housing", "improving health insurance", "raising the legal hourly wage cap", and so on - can you not mention it first, but you have to shout the slogan loud first, otherwise who will vote for you?

The nature here is the same, Shiga Ayumi wants to be the director, no, he wants to complete the unfinished business of Takemoto Kiyoshi, so naturally he wants to release the rumor and explain what he will do if he becomes a second generation - is there a new business policy or is it going to follow the old path of Takemoto Kiyoshi to go further? Will it be good or bad for everyone?

These have to be said well, it is the proper meaning, Chihara Murakami and the two are not surprised, as the backbone cadres of the "director faction" or now the "Shiga faction", they immediately buried their heads in reading, and found that Shiga Ayumi really didn't tell a lie, to further raise funds, increase the budget of the production bureau's programs, expand the strength of the sales department, win with the quality of the program, good programs have high advertising costs, and sell copyrights by the way, The surrounding area and the development of cinema chains to make money, and strive to completely form a virtuous circle, so that Kanto United will become the fifth largest commercial TV station in this book within six years.

It's basically the same as his old policy, but the steps are a little bigger, the system is clearer, and some of the policies in the previous exploration and experiment have been formalized, and the production bureau and the business department are particularly important in the pen and ink, and there is nothing wrong with it - the bank faction only cares about profits, as long as they can make money, they will be satisfied, and they don't want to care about anything else, and the newspaper faction is the same, at most they like to kick some eliminated personnel into the TV station to retire, and they should not oppose it either.

Rin Chihara and Iori Murakami glanced at each other, feeling that Shiga Ayumi was really worried about the throne of the head of the station for more than a day or two, and his thinking was quite clear, at least the two largest factions in the council, the newspaper and the bank, would support him.

Shiga Ayumi also observed their expressions, and when he saw that they finished reading, he immediately asked seriously, "What do you think?"

"Very good, you are quite well thought out. "Chihara Murakami has no opinion at all, this development outline at least seems to be in their interests, as for some small details, there is definitely room for revision, but that doesn't matter.

Shiga Ayumi breathed a sigh of relief, and immediately smiled, "Really, if the two of you can openly express your support, then ......"

He said it was "two", but he actually stared at Rin Chihara alone.

His "promise" is very beautiful, but it's hard to say whether others believe it or not, and at this time, there must be a weighty person to agree - Rin Chihara is the holder of a number of ratings records, the strongest program producer in recent years, if he is willing to shout that the feasibility of this outline is very high, this prospect is true, then the influence is still very great, and many "laymen" of the council will have great confidence.

He hoped that Chihara Rin would help him endorse and add some weight to what he said, and Chihara Rin didn't hesitate, and nodded directly: "It's no problem, we'll do it later." ”

Then he muttered for a moment, and then asked, "Do we need to do anything else?"

""Ogie" had better break the record of the highest ratings of Dahe drama, the sooner the better. Shiga Ayumu was not polite, and immediately put forward a new request, hoping that he could continue to contribute to his succession as director with good ratings - when he won the support of the council members, he said that we have a national hit drama, which is better than saying that we have a historical drama.

This is indeed the case, as the director of the production bureau, when proving his ability, what does it mean to say that we have filmed 200 TV dramas in the past two years? This is the job that should be done, but if we say that we have broken the record of the highest ratings in the past two years, and we have broken the record of the highest rating of Dahe dramas, then the style is completely different.

Regarding breaking the record of the highest ratings of Taiga dramas, Ayumi Shiga didn't ask Rin Chihara to do it himself, so naturally it was impossible to have two words, although he didn't dare to say that he died, but he immediately said: "We will do our best." ”

Shiga Ayumi also knew that this kind of thing was not easy to force, and it was okay for Chihara Rin to have this attitude, and after looking at them for a while, he was relieved: "Chihara-sensei, and Miss Murakami, I really didn't misunderstand you." ”

He only needs Rin Chihara and others to do so much for him, as long as he helps him paint his performance well, such as making movies with film companies, lobbying council members, colluding with the top management of banks and newspapers, etc., he will naturally promote it himself, and he doesn't need to be bothered by Rin Chihara.

Now that Rin Chihara has agreed, without even mentioning any conditions, he is really relieved, he feels that he has not been poached in vain, and immediately becomes more affectionate, and begins to discuss details with the two of them again - how to explain to the outside world that can make the results of the production bureau look particularly good? How do the program groups you control and influence speak out to support me? How do you form the atmosphere of public opinion that I am bound by?

They talked together for more than half an hour, and Rin Chihara and Iori Murakami really hoped that he could take over smoothly, and they were very dedicated, and Shiga Ayumi was very particular, knowing that if he wanted the horses to run, he had to feed the beans, and when the discussion was over, he immediately began to draw cakes: "Okay, I'm going to work hard for you next, and if I leave the production bureau when I turn around, I will rely on you to support myself here, and you must be mentally prepared." ”

Murakami Iori's ears were red for a moment, this is the rhythm of letting Chihara Rin people enter the compilation committee, and they also have to support the important task of the "director faction" in the production bureau, thinking of a standing title should be indispensable, and the rewards can be said to be quite generous - at least it saves Chihara Rin three or five years of seniority, after all, he has only been a special manager for a few months, how can he be so quick if he has no chance to be promoted?

She has no ambition to control the TV station, and her biggest ambition in the workplace is to be able to speak in the production bureau, and now it seems that there is only one step away, and for a while, I hope that Shiga Ayumi will become the director soon.

Perhaps, her expectations will not be lost to the master of Shiga Ayuki!
