Chapter Sixty-Nine: The Weasel Killed Another Weasel?
After sending off the round and sincere Shiga Ayumi, Rin Chihara did keep his promise and sat there thinking about it - is there a chance for a big production?
As the sixth largest TV station in the world, Kanto United TV is not very rich, but it is definitely no problem to invest in a big production of one or two films a year, they are weak because they do not have good creative talents, or they have not had enough time to cultivate and accumulate a good team of producers, screenwriters and directors, and they often spend money and can't do things, so they can really complement them and achieve a win-win situation in a sense, but their future is really worrying......
The great upheaval was not so easy to avoid, and there were many things hidden inside.
On the surface, it is the emerging TV station that challenges the five old TV stations and wants to get a piece of the big five dog food bowls, but it is actually a decisive battle between the Internet upstart and the traditional consortium, and the Tokyo TV is just a cannon fodder in that big battle, at most it is a fuse - after the rise of the Internet, it is a big impact on the traditional media, and there are many people talking nonsense on the Internet, which destroys the "news tacit understanding" in a sense, that is, the big consortium will never appear in the public information.
This is still a trivial matter, and it is not unacceptable for the consortium to control the situation. But what is more serious is that the emergence of the Internet economy has begun to impact to a large extent the "factory-bank-trading company" trinity strategy that the consortium has always adhered to, especially the parity sales strategy of online shopping, online payment and the emergence of electronic money, all of which have a huge impact on the interests of the consortium, especially the core of the consortium, that is, the big banks cannot accept their own status and may be shaken.
It was a conflict of huge contradictions of interests, it was the traditional forces that united and directly wanted to strangle the Internet economy in the cradle, and the Internet upstart instinct also began to resist, seeking a credible organization that could help them speak out, and seeking a channel that could show the future blueprint to the people, so they hit it off with Tokyo TV, hooked up with each other, one paid money, and the other provided channels.
As a result, naturally one was killed on the spot, and since then the heart of promoting e-commerce has died, and the default is still under the leadership of the consortium, and their system is unshakable, so many venture capital companies can only be formed to start developing overseas markets, so as to draw huge benefits;
And the other was beaten to the point where he basically lost his ability to take care of himself, the broadcasting area shrank comprehensively, and the production capacity was basically lost, and he was reduced to making a living by opportunism and TV animation - how attractive is the copyright, you can sell it everywhere, you can continue to collect money, and you can also develop peripherals, if you can still produce a good program, who wants to use your own time slot to make a wedding dress for others?
Animation otaku enshrines Tokyo TV as a holy place, but Tokyo TV doesn't want to be this holy place at all, if they still have the production ability, they will ensure that they are the first to kick TV animation back to the sub-supply time - get out of your grandma, you sell "robots" and sell them well, and you don't pay for me, what's the use of me asking for that reputation?!
In short, the inside story of this matter is still quite complicated, involving all aspects, there is a certain irreversible taste, it can be said that it is extremely troublesome, Chihara Rin is hesitant and struggling in his heart, that is, he does not want to give up the opportunity of a big production, and he is troubled by the possibility of getting involved in trouble in the future, and he is a little undecided - you know it, but if you want to prevent Kanto United TV from mixing in this muddy water, how to explain it to the top management of the TV station? The devil knows who built the bridge and pulled the string inside, and what weird insider trading there is!
The big things in any industry will never be as simple as they seem on the surface!
But the opportunity for a big production......
The budget is the first priority, the time period is optional, this kind of treatment is absolutely impossible to give, so do you want to meet this challenge?
He sat there thinking for a while, and the more he thought about it, the brighter his eyes became—what in this world is there that is not risky? If you want to get a chance to make a big production, you don't want to take any risks, you don't want to get involved in any trouble, how can there be such a cheap thing in the world?
The rise of the Internet still needs time to accumulate, e-commerce is still early to enter people's lives, and they still have time to swallow this great benefit, and then prepare to resist the attack of the storm!
There is an opportunity for a big production, and the director of the production bureau is personally optimistic about it, and he has put on the posture of a big-eared Liu, which is also quite rare! If you miss this opportunity, it may not be possible to have it again!
Once he made up his mind, he no longer hesitated, and directly got up and called Iori Murakami and made an appointment with her for an interview - and then do ideological work for her, so that she could make up her mind to resign as soon as possible, and by the way, listen to her opinion, whether to go to Kanto United TV together!
The phone was quickly connected, and Iori Murakami didn't even ask why they met, so he agreed, and made a very considerate appointment with a café near him, and hung up the phone, and Rin Chihara set off directly, but walking on the road, his mind couldn't help but be crooked.
There is a chance for a big production, so what should I shoot?
How about "Tokyo Love Story"? This is one of the three recognized classics in Japanese dramas, and it has a huge and far-reaching influence in Asia, but this film is popular, and Honami Suzuki has at least half of the credit, and there is the biggest problem, the background of this film is before the bubble economy bursts, the hero and heroine spend all day drinking, and now it is in the Great Depression period, if this kind of film is made, will the audience remember the beauty that has just passed, and then feel sad and turn off the TV directly?
This must be prevented......
Li Gouhi's ratings are still good, one of the national hit dramas, but the protagonist is a little wrong, and it is just in the 21st century, and in the 90s of the 20th century, the audience may not be able to accept it, and it is not good to scold.
Otherwise, take a shot of "Boys Over Flowers"? This is also a classic work that has been remade many times in later generations, the Chinese version of "Meteor Garden" has created a ratings miracle, F4 has a far-reaching impact, after more than ten years, there is a game in which the four chickens all take this as a nickname, and the Korean version of "Boys Over Flowers" has exploded in word-of-mouth and ratings, and the Japanese version of "Men Over Flowers" has raised the girl's comics to a higher level, from a niche to a mainstream, igniting the dream of countless girls Prince Charming......
What's more important is that the background of the times is quite appropriate, and the audience is very wide - not to mention girls, even middle-aged aunts have princely dreams, and women are the largest audience group for TV shows!
All of a sudden, countless more than 30% and about 40% of the national hot dramas are tumbling in the minds of Rin Chihara, as a choreographer, who doesn't want to make a big production? As for "Late Night Canteen", it is indeed a word-of-mouth masterpiece, but compared with a big production, it is better to go to the side to cool off first......
Pursue the ratings first, and wait for the super good ratings as a talisman, and then consider filming those meaningful and word-of-mouth masterpieces, and then you can really shoot those word-of-mouth dramas with charm - Huaxia has also remade "Late Night Canteen", so that my mother doesn't recognize it, so I have to guard against it.
Chihara Rin thought all the way, sat in the café before reacting, ordered coffee and maple cake in the strange eyes of the waiter, and then waited there, but waited left and right, waited for a long time Murakami Iori came, and Murakami Iori entered the door, and apologized with a relaxed face from afar: "Sorry, Chihara, I've kept you waiting." ”
Probably because she came to see a friend, she didn't wear her thick-shouldered professional suit with a strong sense of defense, but chose a very light daily lady's casual clothes, restored all her feminine posture, apologized, stroked the cherry blossom petals on her shoulder and sat down gently, and said with a smile without waiting for Rin Chihara to speak: "I have already handed in the resignation letter by the way." ”
She had actually decided a long time ago, but she was a little worried that Rin Chihara would say that it was hot-headed to bring her, so she didn't take the initiative to contact him - if Rin Chihara changed her mind and didn't mention this matter anymore, she wouldn't mind, so she went to Kitaku TV as usual.
Of course, when she received a call from Rin Chihara asking her to ask her, she immediately understood, and handed over the resignation letter directly by the way, which can be regarded as a statement - let's work together in the future, and share blessings and misfortunes!
And Chihara Rin was stunned for a moment, he wanted to persuade this guy again, but he didn't expect the other party to be so happy, and he couldn't help but feel the bold side of Iori Murakami.
Studying in a prestigious school since childhood, working hard until being admitted to a prestigious university, and then beating hundreds of people in multiple written interviews, successfully entering the production bureau, and becoming a member of the elite group of the TV station, this is extremely difficult, then this matter is put in Huaxia, and it is not lost to resign from "Central S".
This is definitely not easy, it is impossible for ordinary people to resign from that kind of unit, only give a week, and it is estimated that it will take half a year to convince the family alone!
He couldn't help but joke: "Great, sure enough, it's still the Miss Murakami I know, but it's a pity that I can't receive lavender essential oil." ”
Murakami Iori smiled and said goodbye to the place where Tokyo Broadcasting TEB had discriminated against her for a long time, she felt relaxed and in a good mood, and she made two jokes along with this, and repeated the old words, planning to meet Chihara Rinto's girlfriend. After chatting for a while, she turned the topic back to serious matters and asked with interest: "Qianyuan, you must not have been idle these days, you are looking for me for a new job, right?"
Chihara Rin nodded, and explained in detail the matter of the union of Asahuki, Mt. Fuji and Kanto, and showed her the outline and draft of "Late Night Canteen", while Murakami Iori listened carefully, slowly flipped through the manuscript, and finally closed the book and groaned - the script is a pot of chicken soup for the soul, and the audience has it, but whether the audience can swallow the chicken soup and drink it comfortably is not particularly easy to judge at present, and from the producer's standpoint, the caution of Asatsuki and Mt. Fuji is not unreasonable.
Then there are two choices left: changing the script and going to the Kanto Union, and going to the Kanto Union she instinctively resisted, and there was a sense of discomfort from being reduced from the world's top 500 to an ordinary company.
However, she still knew Chihara Rinto, knew that this companion was ambitious, and that he could put the Kanto Union on a par with Asahuki and Mount Fuji, which in itself explained a lot of problems, and asked directly: "Chihara, do you want to go to the Kanto Union?"
Rin Chihara nodded, "Yes, it's definitely better to make a big production than a small fight, I want to go there, what do you think?"
Murakami Iori smiled: "Sure enough, it's still the Chihara-kun I know, and I never think about the small ones that can be big." I'm okay with that, so let's go to Kanto United TV!"
She agreed, and Rin Chihara was not happy, but became more serious, and said softly: "The future may be difficult, you have to be mentally prepared - I have an intuition that in the future, the five congresses will be aimed at the Kanto Union, not the current level, maybe the production bureau of the Kanto Union may collapse, and we may not have any good fruit to eat." ”
Murakami Iori looked at him strangely, didn't understand why he was so pessimistic, smiled and stretched out a hand: "If there is a difficulty, let's solve it together! I am your companion, and it will not be your burden!"
Rin Chihara breathed a sigh of relief, reached out to shake her, and said with a smile: "Of course, this is just the worst-case scenario, maybe we will also succeed!"
Iori Murakami put his other hand up and said seriously: "Big production, big success!"
Rin Chihara also added a hand and said with a smile: "That's right, we want to pursue great success!"
The two of them sat at the window, holding each other's hands, and the mountain god Aiko, Nishino Kimisa, and the second holy son before seeing this scene were all stunned.
Ah, the weasel has killed another one!?
