"Master, why are you so happy these past two days?" Hitomi Konoe asked while looking at Rin Chihara's strange expression while taking something out of his vest pocket, "Did you find the money?"

Chihara Rin is about to get his hands on the horse that he has been thinking about for two years, and he is really in a good mood these two days, and he said with a smile: "It's none of your business, don't worry about it!"

Hitomi Konoe handed him some documents about Rin Chihara's private property and asked him to review it, but his heart was even more strange, he turned his head to look, and found that only Tomohisa Mita was revising the manuscript in the office, so he approached Rin Chihara directly, lowered his voice and asked, "Master, is the rumor true?"

Rin Chihara didn't take his eyes off the document, and asked casually, "What gossip have you heard again?"

Konoe Hitomi also worked as his eyes and ears, and often made small reports to him or something, and immediately said: "The top management of the bureau is making personnel adjustments, and some people say that the master is going to be promoted again!"

This kind of gossip is completely useless, Rin Chihara is more concerned about the situation in each crew, and listening to it at this time is the same as not listening, and even the words are gone.

Konoe Hitomi waited for a while, and whispered: "Master, is it true or not, I'm not an outsider, tell me it's okay!"

Chihara Rin glanced at her, you are not my outsider or my insider, my insider's already decided!

He rolled up the file and gave her a head to it, and then shoved the document to her: "It's none of your business, hurry up and get your going!"

Hitomi Konoe took the document and put it in the big pocket of the vest, and said stupidly: "If you don't tell me, I know, it must be, you haven't laughed normally in the past two days." ”

"I'm busy, I'm fine, hurry up. Chihara Rin didn't have to be polite to Konoe Hitomi, Konoe Hitomi had always been unscrupulous in front of him, so he just smiled and scolded casually, and he didn't have to hold the shelf, but at this time, the internal phone on the table rang, and someone inside said: "Chihara-sensei, Director Shiga's secretary called to ask if you have time now, and Director Shiga wants you to come to his office." ”

"Did you say anything?"

"Nope. ”

"Tell that I'll be over there right away. ”

People ask if there is time That's polite, you can't take it seriously, the boss must be able to go as fast as you can when you summon him, Chihara Rin still understands this thing, and explained a few words to Tomohisa Mita, let him stick to his position, and then he will go to the main building, and Hitomi Konoe also heard what he said just now, and followed behind his ass and said excitedly: "Do you want to ask you to talk about the promotion, Master!"

"Why do you care about this?"

"If you climb higher, we will have more opportunities, we are all from your faction!"

Chihara Rin scolded directly: "There are many opportunities for achievements, you have time to care about this, why don't you go back and think about how else to mention the ratings of "Human Observation". ”

Hitomi Konoe said aggrievedly: "I've always worked hard. ”

This is the truth, Konoe Hitomi is a little out of tune, but the work is really hard enough, very proactive, this Chihara Rin can't find any fault, but the dignity of the teacher, he said seriously: "Then work harder!"

"Yes!"

"You promised, why did you get on the elevator with me?"

"You are such a big person, how bad it is to go alone, I will be your follower. ”

"Hurry up and ......" Rin Chihara wanted to say get out, but he noticed that a staff member was walking towards the elevator, and he was afraid that people would hear it and ruin his personal image, so he changed his words directly: "Go back and work hard." ”

"Got it, Master. ”

Hitomi Konoe left aggrievedly, and Rin Chihara didn't care about her, and rushed directly to Ayumu Shiga's office, but he began to wonder if what Hitomi Konoe said was possible - this season's results are very good, and the certainty of winning the championship is great, will the production bureau really consider giving himself a promotion?

But it's the formation committee that does the personnel transfer, which is the core body of the production bureau and the highest authority, and he is now only the deputy director of the TV drama department of the production bureau, and there are ministers above, and there are special affairs above the ministers, and there are standing affairs above the special affairs, and at the level of the general affairs, there is a high chance of becoming a member of the formation committee - not all standing committees will be included in the formation committee, but the members of the formation committee basically have standing titles, at most there are one or two real power special affairs.

The production bureau is also a complex and tightly knit organization, with its own set of operating rules and regulations, and it should be unlikely that someone will be promoted two or three times in a row, even if there is a relationship with the background, at least it will take some time to make a show.

Chihara Rin thought about it carefully and felt that it was no fun, but he didn't take it to heart.

He is now the deputy director of the TV department, and he is basically satisfied with this position at present, after all, he didn't plan to work in the Kanto United TV station all the time, and he was ready to run away after completing the accumulation, so as long as the budget and manpower are sufficient, he doesn't care about the level of the position - as long as he can keep making achievements, the director of the station must be polite when he sees him, and it really doesn't matter if he is promoted or not.

This matter is different from the situation on Bai Ma Ningzi's side, he is very anxious over there, and he is very worried that Bai Ma Ningzi will be abducted and run away, and he has a very heavy heart for gain and loss, but whether he is promoted or not, whatever!

He went to Shiga's office with an indifferent attitude, and was immediately politely sent into the office by the secretary, and Shiga Ayumi was on the phone, and when he saw him coming, he made a gesture and asked him to sit first.

Rin Chihara sat directly opposite Ayumi Shiga and waited, and Ayumi Shiga put down the phone after responding to the phone again and again, poured him tea in person, and said with a smile: "Mr. Chihara-sensei has worked hard recently, and the council is very satisfied with the results of your work." ”

Rin Chihara thanked him and took the tea, but he wasn't sure what he was going to do—he really wanted to be promoted, right? It's not bad, it's always good to have more power, although it's not very useful.

He joked directly: "Then Director Shiga called me here, did he want to pay me a bonus in person?"

Shiga said with a smile: "The bonus will definitely be paid, but not today, today is an important matter." After he finished his politeness, he immediately got back to business, took out a folder and handed it to him: "The Japanese and Southern Imaging are testing whether there is any intention to cooperate in the station, and the station has already talked to them twice, this is the record." ”

It is necessary to say that this thing will not be successful, and it is not good to leak the news in advance, otherwise Shiga Ayumi would not have called Chihara Rin over, but went to his office and said - he has always been able to be polite and virtuous, and there is no arrogance.

Chihara Rin took the folder and opened it and looked at it, and instantly understood in seconds, Nichinan Imaging had seen his drama.

This is not unusual, in the film industry and the TV program production industry is very deep, there is a kind of "movie that is not a movie" - the theatrical version of the TV series, two to three hours per episode, relying on the characters and background of the TV series to shoot, tricking the audience to go to the cinema to watch.

This kind of behavior has been going on for a long time, the TV station filmed the first and second seasons of the TV series, accumulated enough fans, and then cooperated with the film company to make a theatrical version, coaxed the audience into the cinema to make a quick buck, and then took advantage of the popularity of the movie to make the third and fourth seasons of the TV series, expand the fan base and make another theatrical version, and make a wave of quick money from the fans again, even not just TV series, even cartoons.

This situation is rare in other countries, but it is a win-win situation that can maximize the value of an IP, but with the gradual weakening of the Japanese film industry, this model has gradually developed into an important pillar of the local box office - caused by the oppression of the United States, there are many political and economic reasons.

The film market is completely open to the United States, and it is very easy for American films to get permission to be released in the United States. At first, it was nothing, but in the 60s, the local box office accounted for more than 70% of the total box office, and the film company made a lot of money;

In the 70s, it was also good, and it was said that a lot of good works were produced in local films, and this data was basically maintained, and the so-called "state painting" never lost to "foreign painting";

But in the 80s, the film industry went the wrong way, engaging in connotation, selling literature and art, and making pure love, and then encountered the United States began to export culture, the film industry was supported by the government, and large-scale commercial films began to be mass-produced.

This is a local battle, and less than 30% of the share can basically be said to be a complete defeat, but the remaining box office is mainly supported by the theatrical version of the TV series, and the situation will probably not improve until around 2010.

Of course, this is the development process of another world, but if you think about this world, it is similar, and local filmmakers still can't beat the Hollywood model in the United States.

Rin Chihara flipped through it and asked strangely, "They want to shoot the theatrical version of "Jumping the Great Search Line"?"

"That's right!" Ayumi Shiga said with some joy, "Mr. Chihara, the council attaches great importance to this matter, and I hope to make it as good as possible. ”

The TV station must invest, the box office can make a good profit, and the risk is relatively small, after all, the success of the TV series has proved that the audience will buy it, even if it is really smashed, historical data also shows that the cost can basically be recovered, and the loss is not much, and more importantly, it is ...... In the past, this kind of good thing was not the turn of Kanto United Television, and before Chihara Rin came, they didn't have any TV series worth making a theatrical version of, and big movie companies such as Nichinan Imaging didn't like them at all.

It's very important to start this way, and it can be a great achievement for him as the director of the production bureau!

Rin Chihara didn't mean to object, this is not a bad thing, and said with a smile: "They have a good vision, and they are eyeing it before the first season of "Jumping the Search Line" is finished. ”

Shiga said with a smile: "They have their own way of investigating, and they think that this play has potential and is more suitable for a theatrical version." ”

Rin Chihara nodded, the theatrical version of "Jumping the Great Search Line" in another world did perform very well, and the other party's sense of smell was very sensitive, worthy of a veteran film company - it was really a little negligent before, and I would have made this drama earlier.

He smiled and asked, "What do you need me to do when you come to me?"

"Nichinan seems to have this meaning, after all, Mr. Chihara is famous, and the name of the first theater work will greatly improve the box office. Shiga Ayumi's tone was very sincere: "Of course, this is not a hard requirement, just the hope of the station, after all, you have worked very hard, and you will be given more work...... However, being able to cooperate with the film company is very beneficial to the future development of the TV station, and the station still hopes to meet the requirements of the other side as much as possible to promote this matter, so ......"

It turned out that I had to use my fame and reputation again, but Rin Chihara still has no opinion, filming the theatrical version can also increase the popularity of the TV series, and it is convenient to obtain higher ratings, and the TV station has made money because of this, and Murakami Iori can open his mouth more if he wants money in the future!

What's more, he still has 5% of the copyright of "Jumping the Search Line", and he also has 5% of his box office revenue, which is completely a win-win situation, and there is nothing to say.

He stood up and smiled, "I see, Director Shiga! I'll have no problem here, I'll start preparing the script when I go back." ”

Isn't it just work, what are you doing!
