Chapter 59 Suspension
The next day, Rin Chihara woke up with a slight headache.
This is caused by catecholamines in alcohol, which stimulates nerve endings to release adrenaline, which has the effect of constricting blood vessels and raising blood pressure, and the symptom is headache.
As a "person with cold knowledge on the Internet", Rin Chihara knows that a glass of honey water can greatly alleviate this symptom at this time, but unfortunately as a bachelor who can't cook, there is no such "luxury condiment" at home, so he can only choose to warm his forehead with a towel for a while - not much for birds, it is better than nothing, more like a psychological comfort.
When he felt better, he went straight to work. Now he is a bit of a family, customized two sets of handmade suits, dressed himself up decently and stylishly, has lost the embarrassment when he first came to your realm, completely like a young and promising, shrewd and capable successful person in the workplace, completely integrated into the environment, and even has been considering getting a rent-free big house, and then decorate the home, add some electrical appliances and furniture, and improve the quality of life.
Life is like this, plan carefully, accumulate little by little, follow the steps, and let yourself get over as much as possible.
He rushed to Tokyo Broadcasting TEB on time, went directly to the headquarters of "Shiqi", sat down at the desk and began to work, and the atmosphere in the headquarters was also very relaxed, the financial team and a few female clerks were dealing with some trivial matters at the end of the season, mainly in terms of document classification and sealing, the work pressure was almost none, and the amount was not large, and it didn't take long to make tea and get together and chat in a low voice.
This week's time can be regarded as the idle period for these people.
Waited until almost ten o'clock, and after Chihara Rin sorted out the second season of Kussuna, he didn't wait for Murakami and Fujii, and he felt that this morning's production decision would probably not be completed, but he didn't care, Fujii's old boy drank a lot last night, and his good brother Yoshizaki first danced, and then hugged each other and sighed sadly, and finally got drunk, and was still talking nonsense when he was stuffed into a taxi, and it is estimated that he will be super late today- People haven't taken a vacation for three months, and it's purely human nature to indulge once in a while, even if you miss a little work, you don't have to worry about it.
Iori Murakami's situation is similar, and the family has been swollen for three months, even if he is really absent from work for a day, it is nothing.
He didn't care, and turned on the computer to watch the news again, but before he could flip through a few websites, Bai Mu Guima hurriedly ran in, with a happy face: "Teacher Qianyuan, it's announced!"
Rin Chihara looked up and said strangely, "What has been announced?"
"We announced the schedule for the next season, which is scheduled for the Nine O'clock Theater on the night of Golden Day (Friday). Shiraki Katsuruma had been vaguely aware of this for a long time, but it was still different from the real "official" confirmation news, and he was still very happy, and exclaimed: "And the replay time of the satellite channel was also given, at half past three in the afternoon of the next day." ”
Rin Chihara was in good spirits, is it nine o'clock on Friday night? This is the golden time, it is really good, and quickly asked: "What about the budget?" said a thousand ways and ten thousand, money is the foundation of a program.
Bai Mu Guima shook his head and said, "I haven't heard any news about this for the time being. ”
"What about Miss Murakami?" Rin Chihara wanted to know the details quickly, which would help him fine-tune the plan, but Shiraki Katsurama didn't fulfill his wish and shook his head again: "I heard that after the internal meeting of the production bureau, she was called by the formation committee, and I don't know when she will be back." ”
"That's it!" Rin Chihara didn't say anything more, no wonder Iori Murakami didn't come back for the meeting at the appointed time, it turned out that there was an emergency delayed - it's not that he was drunk and didn't wake up, look at it this way, this white bone spirit is really dedicated, and he was drunk like that yesterday and could get up hard in the morning.
He thinks that Iori Murakami is going to do a good job, that is, to raise the budget, which is a smooth thing - why does everyone want prime time or even prime time? The natural audience base is on the one hand, and on the other hand, the budget for these periods is high, which represents a lot of money!
There is a reason for this, the commercial television station of the book, that is, the commonly known people's broadcasting, also has performance requirements, and its main income comes from three major blocks, TV shopping, cable program viewing fees and advertising fees, of which advertising expenses account for the largest proportion of the total.
Enterprises and advertisers mainly look at three data:
The all-day ratings, that is, the average ratings of the whole program in the period from 5:00 to 23:00;
prime-time ratings, that is, the average ratings of the whole program in the period from 19:00 to 22:00;
The prime-time ratings, that is, the word-of-mouth theaters operated by various TV stations for many years and the ratings of several key time periods, such as the eight or nine o'clock hours on Monday nights, the sub-offerings on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday afternoons, and the morning ratings for housewives every morning - these major TV stations are different, each with its own characteristics and strengths.
These three data are high, enterprises, advertisers, you don't need to look for him, he himself came to come, waving banknotes to ask to join, these three data are low, even if the people in the operation department kneel and beg them, they are not birds, at least they will ask for a reduction in advertising costs, that is, cheaper.
This is also the reason why the budget of night dramas is poor, because the late-night time period has little impact on the performance of TV stations, at most, it can help attract traffic to TV shopping programs, or if you are lucky, you can engage in copyright development, and you can bring a stable but small long-term income in the rental and sale market of video tapes and CDs - it has no big impact on performance, and the compilation committee is not stupid, how can you invest a lot of money in this kind of program.
At the same time, this is also the three main battlefields of the five major TV stations fighting each other, because as long as the ratings overwhelm the other four, it represents a huge increase in advertising costs, for real money, these five major TV stations are smiling on the surface, hello and me, behind them all want to strangle the other four, it is best to dominate the world - there is also a ratings battlefield is news, mainly depending on the ratings of the three major public news programs in the morning, afternoon, and evening, but how to say this?
The situation is special, in addition to the broadcast association NHK, a TV station with the nature of central S, commercial TV stations are not very enthusiastic about grabbing news, although it cannot be said that they do not pay attention to it, but the degree of attention will be lowered by a grade, and the battle is mainly concentrated in the three aspects of all-day, prime time, and prime time.
Now it seems that the second season of "World Wonderful Story" has been determined to be adjusted from the eighth-line army to the main army, and there are dozens of tanks, armored vehicles, trucks, artillery, two battalions, and two more infantry regiments, etc., which is completely reasonable - from April 8, that is, the "Spring Drama Campaign" From the first Friday, they can decide the performance of Tokyo Broadcasting TEB in a sense, then Tokyo Broadcasting TEB will definitely increase their strength, food is the basic requirement, and it is not too much to be armed to the teeth.
Finally bid farewell to the unlucky late-night drama quagmire, finally can hire some actors with good acting skills and high popularity, and can finally improve the quality of post-production, the future is bright!
Rin Chihara was completely relieved, and continued to watch his news with a smile on his face, this new journey has just started with a good start, it's so auspicious that you don't want it, it's very good!
Bai Mu Guima didn't bother him, he left directly after reporting the good news, and went out to inquire again with interest, wanting to get more detailed information in advance - the TV station itself has a lot of rumors, and he can sometimes hear some very informative chatter when he stands there, and it is still easy to inquire about the news.
Soon more than an hour passed, and Shiraki Katsuruma hurriedly ran back again, and as soon as he drilled through the screen, Chihara Rin looked up and asked with a smile, "Shiraki-kun, what's the good news?"
Running so fast, could it be that the ultra-high budget has arrived? Can you enjoy the treatment of a big production in advance? I knew that it was so smooth, I wouldn't start with "Wonderful Things of the World", that kind of multi-element unit drama actually has a natural disadvantage, it doesn't matter if you watch one less episode among the audience, it is not as convenient as a serial drama to cultivate the audience's habit of chasing dramas, and it is difficult to improve the ratings qualitatively after they reach a certain level.
Shiraki Katsuma's face was very pale, and he seemed to be a little overwhelmed, or unbelievable, opened his mouth and hesitated for a moment before saying, "That, Chihara-sensei, I heard a bad ...... No, it's strange news. He didn't know whether to notify Rin Chihara or not, and there was a lot of fake news inside the TV station, but he didn't think it was appropriate not to notify him, so he didn't wait for Rin Chihara to ask again, so he said directly, "I heard someone talking about Miss Murakami's seemingly suspended job." ”
"Suspension?" Rin Chihara suspected that the effects of alcohol had not completely subsided, and he was directly hallucinating, and asked in disbelief: "Really, fake? How could she be suspended, and she didn't do anything wrong!"
"Well, I don't know, it's that in the bathroom, there are two clerks who make up the committee and are chatting, saying that Miss Murakami is so stupid that she actually contradicts the committee, as if she was really suspended and reflected. After Bai Mu Guima finished speaking, he was a little stunned when he stood there - the situation was very good just now, and there were envious remarks everywhere, why did this kind of rumor suddenly arise?
Chihara Rin can't be sure, although he thinks it's unreasonable, it's probably a false alarm, that guy in the village is low-key, and he doesn't dare to get angry when he is trained like a grandson, how can he confront the highest authority of the production bureau in front of him, but this kind of rumor may not be groundless, in case that guy doesn't wake up well, and he attaches too much importance to the show, his brain is hot, and he asks for an astronomical budget, and he makes the formation committee angry, and it is not impossible for her to wake up in three days.
He began to hesitate to call Iori Murakami's pager and ask her to call back to tell him about the specific situation, but before he could make up his mind, he suddenly heard someone knocking on the door outside, and asked, "Is Chihara-sensei there?"
Hearing the sound, Rin Chihara walked out of the small grid of the screen, and found that it was a young man he didn't know, so he couldn't help but ask strangely: "I'm Chihara, what's the matter?"
The young man smiled politely, "It's really nice that you're here, Senior Managing Director Kurata wants to see you, I'm really sorry, can you please come with me now?"
