Chapter 407: The Pig's Head is on the Chest
Rin Chihara didn't forcibly ask the crews not to participate in the Academy Awards, but almost everyone knows the grievances between him and the Academy Awards, although he, the big boss, didn't make a clear statement, but as long as people with a little brain know what to do - the crews have publicly rejected the titles, saying that they will not attend the award ceremony, let alone accept the award.
Izumi Yuko, Shiratori Aina and other actors who are in the limelight are also not stupid, for fear of annoying Rin Chihara, and have successively stated that they will give priority to the collective, since the crew has chosen not to attend and not accept the award, then they will not attend, let alone accept the award.
This year's national hot dramas and first-line good dramas, Kanto United account for almost sixty and a half, and these crews and actors have clearly refused at the title stage of the academy awards, directly making this academy awards the most bleak in history, and it can't be called any gold content at all - NHK and the Big Four are also lacking in interest, and the unspoken rules of the academy rewarding pork are now clear to everyone, although winning the award is still an honor, but the market appeal is not as strong as before, so it doesn't mean much to just have a name.
Even if you get the big award, it's a little troublesome, and nine times out of ten, the audience will question how to get the award, and it is very likely that some inexplicable shady scenes will be made up by the brain.
In short, now the academy reward is a bit of a chicken rib, the food is tasteless, and it is a pity to abandon it, so it's better to follow the fate.
The commercial TV stations collectively don't pay much attention to it, they are completely casual, and they feel that it is okay to win the award or not, which makes the academy award rare and fair, but the academy award executive committee is completely unacceptable - their power comes from the distribution of awards, and now that the awards are rare, then they can't talk about power.
I regret it, I really regret it, this is the unspeakable but frustrated thoughts of the Academy Award Executive Committee from top to bottom. If he had known that Rin Chihara could rise so quickly, he should have given him a pig's head back then, after all, it was no problem to win the award with his ratings, but no one could travel back to three years ago, and now it can't be changed - no one could have imagined that a young man in his twenties would fight with a decades-old award and win in the end.
It's just hard to understand and feels very unscientific.
Time passes day by day, in previous years, with all kinds of predictions, all kinds of lace news, all kinds of analysis, now all gone, except for the Academy Award Executive Committee itself desperately screaming twice, the Academy Award seems to have been directly forgotten by everyone, but "The Man Over Flowers" is becoming more and more popular day by day, completely dominating the broadcast circle.
"Men Over Flowers" is really popular, to what extent is it popular? Kanto United's previous most proud operation department was tossed to the point of almost paralysis by it, and all employees worked overtime until they had nosebleeds, desperately stocking up.
The cultural shirt of "The Man Over Flowers", the operation department initially prepared 10,000 pieces, which is still optimistic about the ability of Chihara Rin himself, so he increased the amount of preparation, otherwise he would generally prepare one or two thousand pieces, but in late October, these 10,000 pieces were sold out, and the 15,000 pieces that were urgently added did not last a week, and the additional 30,000 pieces arrived on the day of the sixth episode and were sold out on the same day.
It's not sold out, and there are still viewers calling in to order, and I'm very angry if I can't buy it - it's very infuriating to dial out the order phone for more than an hour before I call in, and I can't buy it yet, so I have to complain!
Kanto United is good anywhere, this operation department is the most rubbish, what a bunch of waste wood!
The reputation of the operation department was seriously damaged, and a commissioner had to be sent to the factory to guard it, and the amount of production was shipped back, but the amount shipped back was sold immediately, and at present, 170,000 pieces have been sold in Tokyo alone, and this is only the data of the headquarters TV shopping, such as the franchise stations around the country also have the right to legally use F4 and the portrait of Shiratori Aina, and they are also sold in various regions. Mistakes were made in the busy, and an employee accidentally ordered a short-sleeved T-shirt when placing an order, and his head was swollen to his boss, but it was miraculously sold.
This is just a cultural shirt, others such as stickers, wall calendars, desk calendars, pillows, etc., as long as the face of F4 and Shiratori Aina is printed, it will be out of stock in a blink of an eye, and even ordinary basins are the same - just like ordinary products in the supermarket, just print F4 or cedar vegetables on the bottom of the pot, and the retail price will change from 700 yen to 1999 yen in a blink of an eye, and the price will not be bargained.
The peripherals are selling well, videotapes and DVDs are even more sought-after, and the audience doesn't mention what they rip by themselves, they often regard it as a treasure, and they easily refuse to borrow it, that is, they go to a video store to rent, at least ninety-nine out of a hundred say no-the peripherals are very booked, and the videotapes are even more difficult to order, many people borrow them and don't return them, and they have to keep them and watch them repeatedly, after all, they only watch it once, it's really itching, and I feel that this kind of drama should be treasured.
F4's "WISH" also made its way to the radio and became the hottest song for three consecutive weeks, followed by "Planetarium" sung by Banquan Izumi, and the on-demand rate was equally scary, so much so that she was shocked when she received the bank notice.
It is said that Ben's radio station has to pay copyright royalties for playing songs, and KTV songs also have to pay copyright royalties (KTV out), and some of this money belongs to her, and under the sand into a tower, the amount is huge, so that the bank has to remind her.
Of course, this is also the contract she got better, Chihara Rin took special care of her, like F4 is not so exaggerated, the royalty they enjoy is low, the idol league has to peel off a layer of skin, and the brokerage company to which each person belongs then peels off another layer of skin, and finally it is divided by four people, but taking advantage of the fact that the housing prices in Tokyo are plummeting, it is enough for them to buy a house.
"Men Over Flowers" has formed a social trend, or a "weed trend" and "F4 trend", the audience likes it super much, is fascinated, and even a little fanatical- Aina Shiratori honestly didn't do anything, and didn't expose any big news, but when she went out on location, she was surrounded by fans and reporters, and even her shoes were squeezed off guard, and she escaped into the trailer under the protection of the agent and crew, and was stunned to find that the agent was squeezed out again, and what was even more exaggerated was that her sneakers that were squeezed out were sold for a high price of 550,000 yen the next day.
I don't know what the man bought it for, but she lost a shoe at that time.
F4's situation is similar to her, Kume Yuzhen, who plays the role of Daoming Temple, attends the manga book signing, that is, he signs and sells books on the manga with the manga artist, and in the crisp autumn weather, it caused three college girls to faint before and after - it's true, it's not To, the venue is too crowded, a little hypoxic, and the little girl is too excited, so she was pulled away by an ambulance.
The staff of the publishing house were in charge of the aftermath, but they were excited and tearful, this is a grand scene that has not appeared for more than ten years, that is, this kind of thing has not happened in the heyday of the publishing industry!
It is so correct to unite the Kanto region! A thousand principles are really geniuses, there is no doubt about it!
The fainting of the three little girls did not scare them, and Tokyo could not satisfy their ambitions, and the nationwide tour signing was immediately put on the agenda, and they would act after the filming of this season.
The brokerage company affiliated to the Idol League has also benefited a lot, and the accumulation rate of fans in Tokyo 50 has increased by more than five times, and under the tide of the second idol industry, fans are read as gods, writing money, as long as there are enough fans, the performance does not want to be popular.
Kyushu 50 soon began to rely on Minami Kyushu TV and its member stations in several prefectures to replicate the miracle of Tokyo 50 in the westernmost part of the country.
Nagoya 50 is not far behind, relying on Nagoya TV and its Aichi and Mie channels, and is also operating in the outskirts of the Tokyo area and in the Kanchu area, preparing to connect with Tokyo 50.
Hokkaido 50, Shikoku 50, and Kyoto 50 have also entered the preparatory stage.
Tokyo 50 has also carried out a second major expansion, idol agencies have provided some alternate students, and recruited a group of trainees from universities and junior high schools, and at the same time, the big O faction's royal sister team and the Tongyan team that look like elementary school students have also begun to select personnel, ready to catch all potential users, and not let go of a single fish that slips through the net.
In short, the idol league is also full of energy, and with this boom, it has embarked on the journey of national hegemony.
............
The situation is very good, in less than two months, "The Man Over Flowers" has shown a huge success, like a miracle, so that almost all female audiences and some male audiences are immersed in this sweet and a little sadistic urban fairy tale, although there may not be a strong social response of "Hanzawa Naoki", but the ability to attract gold is more than ten times higher than that of "Hanzawa Naoki".
The money is earned, and naturally everyone is amiable.
At the board meeting, Rin Chihara proposed to increase the overall production budget by 35% next year in order to launch a more ferocious offensive, and hoped to further cooperate with the publishing industry group - he hoped that the company he controlled LOI could come forward to obtain the IP library, but because Kanto United was also a significant shareholder of LOI, it needed to obtain the approval of the board of directors.
Originally, he did a lot of homework, thought of countless excellent reasons, and was ready to convince the directors, but as soon as the proposal was finished, Shiga Ayumi had just frowned, and the representatives of the franchise station had already agreed with a smile on their faces, and the director in charge of the operation department also kindly asked him if it was enough to increase by 35%, and sincerely hoped that he would not be so wronged himself, and it would cost more money to produce a good program, which everyone understands and understands.
This proposal was privately rejected by Ayumi Shiga once before Rin Chihara was made without prior notice to Ayumi Shiga, or to "further cooperate with the publishing industry group and control high-quality IPs such as manga and light as much as possible", and he thought he was troublesome, but he still proposed it himself, and before the director faction could express his opinion, he had already received enough votes to agree.
When the meeting ended, Shiga Ayumi was a little unhappy, but he didn't say much, and Chihara Rin didn't ask him to explain in private, mainly because he didn't want to explain either.
When the time came to the end of November, the college award was deserted, the number of guests was nearly thirty percent less than in previous years, and the ratings on the second day were only 9.1%, and the newspaper reported perfunctorily, and there was no hot discussion, and I felt that it was not as important as the previous starry appreciation.
In other words, the Star Award has begun to replace the status of the Academy Award, and the most important award in TV dramas in the future will be the Star Award, and the Academy Award is already outdated.
Subsequently, "The Man Over Flowers" aired the ninth episode, and began to broadcast the fifteen-minute spin-off "Starry Sky in the Planetarium" in the night theater, which mainly tells the daily life of the supporting characters and adds details to the main drama, which is the same as the spin-off of "It's Your Turn" "The Story Behind the Door".
This Rin Chihara didn't interfere, the script was written by Katsura Shiraki, and the creative team was also led by him, and he didn't even care much about the ratings.
This is the practice of Shiraki Katsura to become the real creator, or the night time, whatever.
He has more troublesome things to deal with, and although Iori Murakami and Rumi Nishijima can basically take care of all the chores for him, some things still inevitably have to be handled by him himself.
On the second day of the broadcast of the ninth episode of "Men Over Flowers", he sat in the rarely used director's special car, but he was still driven by Hitomi Konoe, while Iori Murakami on the left and Rumi Nishijima on the right, showing a gang of green dragons on the left, white tigers on the right, and gangster bosses with a pig's head on his chest, and drove out of the gate of the production bureau with a team of more than 30 staff.
