Chapter 200: I'll just go throw a ball
The good news has nothing to do with the current work, and it does not help to improve the ratings of TV dramas such as "Cold and Warm World", but it is a request from the University Baseball Association - the Koshien National Competition wants to choose "Don't Admit Defeat" as the cheering song, and also wants to invite Banquan Spring Water to be the kick-off guest of the national competition.
The copyright protection of this book is really very strict, in previous years, when the winner's school song was broadcast in the Koshien competition, the TV station had to temporarily cut off the sound signal, mostly because there was no copyright of the school song, and it could not be publicly disseminated.
Chihara Rin didn't expect this kind of thing to happen suddenly, but if you think about it, you can guess the reason - Banquan Spring Water is the hottest singer of the year, and it is not surprising that it is said that the University Baseball Association has taken a fancy to it.
She is really popular now, and she can even be called a little legend in the music world.
debuted at the beginning of the year with "Lemon", and his debut was amazing, and then he sang "Although Our Hands Are Empty", an excellent song that can lower the suicide rate of the book, which warmed countless people and captured countless fans.
What's more, she has an excellent personal image, dresses conservatively, acts low-key, whiter than white paper, without any stains, and is a nationally recognized serious singer, with a very high style, much stronger than idols - she is even the right age, she has only graduated from college for two years, and she looks about the same age as a college student, and the idols who are about the same age as a college student are not as tall as her, and they are currently full of backstreet garbage in the eyes of serious people.
It's not a bad thing, but it's good news...... I can't call it either.
Rin Chihara's main business is not specialized in the music industry, he is in the TV production circle, and he is interested in this kind of thing - the college baseball association will give him some money at most, and it is impossible to help him promote the TV series, which is really not very useful.
He waved his hand casually, signaling Murakami Iori not to be so happy, and asked directly: "I agreed, they can use it if they want, you find someone to help me deal with it, I don't have time to deal with them." ”
He's so busy kicking his ass right now, and he doesn't have time to take care of those baseball players.
Iori Murakami was not surprised that he agreed, and he could increase his popularity a little more or less by picking up a sum of money for nothing, and it would be a fool not to agree, and asked, "Then let Miss Sakaizumi participate in the Koshien kick-off ceremony?"
Rin Chihara had lowered her head to continue working, but when she heard this, she raised her head again and asked strangely, "Isn't this something for her to decide?"
"She said you let her go, and she'll go. ”
Chihara Rin is also convinced, Banquan Spring is a little out of idea, but he is not the agent of Banquan Spring, what does it mean to "let her go, she will go"?
He asked helplessly: "What does she mean, do you want to go?"
"I don't know. Iori Murakami was also very busy, she didn't bother to know the details, let alone care, and said with a smile: "Chihara, she said so, you can decide it for her." ”
Rumi Nishijima sat next to her and was busy with herself, her face was silent when she heard this, but she was a little surprised - Banquan Spring Water, she naturally knew that she had heard her songs and seen her "concert" in the disaster area, that is, she liked her ethereal and beautiful voice, and liked the kind of tenacity she showed on stage, and felt that she should be the best singer of the new generation, and if there were no major problems in the future, she would not be able to become a legend.
As a result, did Rin Chihara have such a great influence on her? She actually obeyed Rin Chihara's words?
Maybe it's just a kind word......
She hesitated there, and Rin Chihara groaned.
This matter did not affect him much, after all, there were only a few people who cared about the songwriter in the support song club, and he was not interested in continuing to expand his reputation in the music industry, but for Banquan Izumi, it can be said that it is a career progress, the event has a great influence in the book, sometimes it can surpass the league, at least the ratings have always been very good.
The highest rating in the region is 66.58% (the prefecture where the finalist team is located), the highest rating in the Kanto region is 42.21%, and most of the key games can reach more than 30%, which is really exaggerated - it can be seen that baseball is the most watched sport in this book, and how troublesome it should be that Kanto United TV can't get the broadcast rights of the baseball league.
It is still very good for Banquan Spring Water to show her face in this kind of sports event, so she is willing to go and naturally ask clearly, in case she originally wanted to go, just to express her respect, or she was afraid that she might not want to give the University Baseball Association an authorization, and did not dare to agree first, it was possible.
He said directly: "I'll ask her to come over and ask, and then reply over there after asking clearly." ”
"Okay, I'll let Hitomi inform her later. ”
Murakami Iori finished talking about this, and he didn't hurry to leave, and handed him a few more documents: "These need your seal to confirm, and at present, six or seven percent of people work overtime and are seriously overtime, especially on the side of the creative team." ”
Chihara Rin paid more attention to this kind of thing, and hurriedly took the document and looked at it carefully, and asked by the way, "Are there many people complaining?"
Murakami Iori shook his head and said, "It's not much now, but it's hard to say in the future." ”
Chihara Rin nodded slowly, the new team is actually still in the run-in period, and often things that don't go well need to work overtime, fortunately, there is a "overtime culture", which is very friendly to him, continuous work, from half past eight in the morning to twelve o'clock, or even one or two o'clock, for Europe and the United States to rebel early, these people can endure until now is excellent, but for such a long time, the more and more resentment accumulates, rebellion is a matter of time.
You have to do it early......
He thought about it for a while, and felt that if he increased overtime pay and subsidies, the budget would be unbearable, and asked: "Can you draw a group of people out, the kind that can speak well, and give a position that sounds more powerful, in the name of the TV station...... No, let's go to the employees' homes to visit them, and give them some small gifts to their parents, wives and children - let the sales department give gifts, they don't rub our heat, it's time for them to have some blood. How about letting those people visit the employees' families with gifts, praise them more in person, and help the employees save face in front of their families?"
I said that I attach great importance to face, and sent someone to explain the importance of his work in front of his family, the indispensability of his work in the team, and I think that even if I have a little resentment, it should be eliminated, and the key is that it is more cost-effective than increasing overtime pay and subsidies.
Murakami Iori felt that this idea was good, and the producer who spent less money was the most welcome, when filming "Titanic", Cameron felt that the effect was not perfect after the live shooting of the "half" boat, and wanted to make a bigger one, but the producer was in a hurry at that time, and stood at the bow of the ship and threatened that he would not give up this idea, so he jumped into the sea directly.
Cameron naturally insisted on his idea, and then the producer really jumped into the sea......
Seriously, Rin Chihara is also a big money-burner, if it weren't for Murakami Iori helping him manage the budget and picking out the western province, he wouldn't be as easy as he is now.
Now that he took the initiative to propose to save money, Iori Murakami was naturally very pleased, and he responded to this troublesome errand in one bite, and got up and went to do it, and Chihara Rin thought about it, and it seemed that there was no other way - five dramas were opened at once, plus the old show "Human Observation", and the production bureau of Kanto United was too poor, and there were not many people with good posture, so he had tried his best to transfer, and the manpower was still too tight, otherwise he didn't want to work overtime according to these people.
At least I have to do this until the end of the year, and I can only take one step at a time.
Chihara Rin lowered his head again and continued to busy him, and soon Banquan Izumi came in a hurry, saluted as soon as he entered the door, and sat down in front of him honestly.
Rumi Nishijima served her tea, and she bowed her head very meekly to thank her, which made Rumi Nishijima look a little surprised in her heart, but she didn't expect that she was two kinds in life and when she sang - she was very tough on stage, but she seemed to be very shy in real life, and she didn't dress like a pop singer at all, very simple, completely like a little girl next door.
Rin Chihara was very gentle towards her, after all, this was not his subordinate, and the relationship between the two was more like cooperation. Even if he was busy, he patiently cared about her current situation and how she was resting after returning from the disaster area, and then got back to business: "Miss Banquan, do you want to go about the college baseball association inviting you to tee-off?"
Banquan Izumi bowed his head and said, "Do you think I should go?"
"It depends on what you mean, you can go if you want to, refuse if you don't want to go, it's okay. ”
Banquan said softly: "I don't know, you can just make up your mind for me." After a pause, she seemed to think that it was too casual to say this, and immediately added: "If you need me to go, I will go, and if you don't need me to go, I will not go." ”
Rin Chihara began to scratch his head, you really don't care about your own career at all, you haven't worried about me selling you?
He asked helplessly, "Then what do you mean...... Don't you want to go?"
"Don't you need me to go?" Banquan Izumi didn't care about this at all, and said tentatively, "Then I'll not go." ”
"I didn't mean that, but I think it will help your career. ”
Banquan Izumi nodded obediently: "Then I'll go, it's just that I don't know baseball, and I can't pitch, so I have to practice." ”
"Don't worry, just pretend, even if you can't throw it at home plate, the batsman will empty the ball, and no one will laugh at you for not throwing ...... Forget it, let's not talk about it. Chihara Rin felt that he had done something stupid, and it was useless to ask, so he changed his words and said: "If you think it doesn't matter, then take a trip and earn some extra money while maintaining some exposure." ”
"Okay, Chihara-sensei, then I'll go throw a ball. ”
Chihara Rin had nothing to say, he was originally kind, he was afraid that he would distort the will of Banquan Spring, but he didn't expect her to have no intention at all, so he could only smile helplessly: "That's it, please run away...... Also, do you want to ...... Go to the place where Hitomi works?"
He originally wanted to suggest that Banquan Spring Water install a phone or buy a mobile phone, but after thinking about it, don't be nosy, she likes to be quiet, and it is estimated that she feels that the phone is disturbing, so she directly changed her mouth halfway and asked her to go to play with Konoe Hitomi, but Banquan Spring Water hesitated for a moment, did not leave, but said: "Chihara sensei, I have heard that ...... "Between the Sky and You", a very good song......"
"Thank you, it's my pleasure that you like it. ”
"Between the Sky and You" is the theme song of "Homeless Child", and it's not strange to hear it at Banquan Spring, but Chihara Rin is a little confused after a polite sentence, is this to talk for a while?
Banquan seemed to have plucked up his courage, but he lowered his head and whispered, "I can actually sing it, you...... Why didn't you call me?"
Rin Chihara was stunned for a moment, and asked strangely, "You shouldn't be short of singing now, right?
The spring water of Banquan is so good that other songwriters are deaf?
"Yes, but I still want to sing the songs you wrote. The courage of Banquan Spring Water said again, but at this point the courage seemed to run out, and he said with some trepidation: "Isn't it too presumptuous, you must have your considerations...... There must be a lot of people who want to sing your songs, ......right? Don't need me anymore?"
Chihara Rin was stunned, and hurriedly said: "No, it's just that I think that song is average, and you've been performing it all the time, so I didn't bother you...... Don't worry, if there is a good song when you look back, you will definitely be my first choice. He really thought so, and this season was not yet the time to fight hard, and he wanted to focus on Michiko, who felt that there was no need to use the Banquan spring water, so he directly threw the song to Iori Murakami and asked her to pick it.
Banquan Izumi breathed a long sigh of relief, as if he had let go of a big concern, and said, "That's great!"
She especially wanted to sing the theme song to Rin Chihara, even if "Between the Sky and You" and "Don't Admit Defeat" were not works of the same level, she wanted to sing, and she was very sad that she didn't get the opportunity to sing, and even a little panicked, but now she is completely relieved, her eyes are bright, and Rumi Nishijima is really shocked.
She doesn't know the origin of Banquan Spring and Chihara Rinren, and now she only has one feeling - the hottest singer of the year, the goddess who moved the whole story, is very honest in front of Chihara Rinren, what he says is really what he says, he doesn't even have a little bit of opposition, and he even has a little low voice!
Is this guy's influence in the music industry so exaggerated?
