Chapter 397: Will This Drama Be Popular?
It is said that the comic publishing industry is very prosperous, the market audience is very wide, and the people generally have the habit of passing the free time with comics, often buy a copy before getting on the tram, and throw it directly into the trash can after reading it - completely fast-moving products, and throw it away as you like, and the nature of the online literature in later generations of Huaxia is the same.
This is actually a large IP library, with a natural viewing group, which is very suitable for film and television adaptation, but before the 21st century, it was basically unsystematic, and not many people paid attention to it.
The concept of IP library was basically made known until Disney swallowed Marvel and began to push superheroes to the big screen.
Now that he can see the future, Rin Chihara feels that it is necessary to start first and integrate the manga publishing industry into the production system of the Kanto United Group, that is, to control the source of high-quality IP, not only can you use it at will, but you can also make others useless, and not only comics, but also reasoning, light and other popular adaptation projects are actually in the hands of the publishing house - the publishing house has accumulated works, authors and audiences in the past few decades, which is a huge intangible wealth, it can be said that it is a huge bonanza, as long as you dig it.
In particular, the publishing industry is currently in a weak period, and the second bad book pursuit campaign and the financial turmoil have hit them hard, and they will not continue to breathe this breath until the full rise of shoujo manga, and now is a good time to start.
It's a pity that Shiga Ayumi doesn't agree.,This guy's eyes are on becoming one of the five major commercial TV stations.,It's not beyond their ideas at all.,It seems that he's quite satisfied with the current status quo.,I don't want to make any more extraneous branches.,Then Kanto United TV is not willing to fully cooperate with the publishing industry.,It's a little difficult to rely on Chihara Rinto's own words- He couldn't push Kanto United to acquire the IP libraries of major publishing houses, nor could he push for cross-share swaps between Kanto United and large publishing houses, and what was worse was that he himself didn't have that much money to buy or buy shares privately.
Of course, if the plan is forcibly put to the council for a vote, he has the qualifications, but if he is forced to vote without the consent of the head of his own faction, this basically means that he and Shiga Ayumi will tear his face, at least he will be quite unhappy, and it is different from rectifying the wind within the scope of the production bureau and affecting him a little gray income.
It's too early to fall out with Shiga Ayumi, even if Rin Chihara really wants to be the director of this station, he really wants to use all the resources of the Kanto Union directly, and he really wants to lay out everything as soon as possible before the end of the golden age of television, but unfortunately it can't.
He could only endure it for the time being, and took "Men Over Flowers" to five large comic publishing houses to seek cooperation, that is, he made dramas here, and asked that side to publish comics simultaneously, and at the same time, he also wanted to select excellent works from the other party's comic library and library for further film and television development.
I can only take my time, and now my grades have just improved, and the capital is not enough to speak out loud.
…………
He went back to take charge of his production bureau, occasionally paying attention to the development of the idol league, and the time soon came to September, the last month of the summer season.
This season, Kanto United not only fully recovered the land and re-consolidated the viewership group, but also went to his peers to grab a lot of viewership share, and there is no good way for TV stations such as Sakurajima and Tokyo Broadcasting TEB - the ratings competition is so cruel, which station's program is good and the audience can tell which one, and no one can stop them if they want to change the channel.
Industry insiders are quite surprised, Chihara Rin has proved that he is the industry's premier creator, brushing the historical record to the point that his peers are directly disgusted when they see it, no one can doubt it, but I didn't expect him to be the director of the bureau, he is still so strong - a good creator is often not a good manager, after all, the interlacing is like a mountain, and many people are still waiting for him to fall into his new position, but I didn't expect the ratings of Kanto United to be generally good, and there are faint signs of comprehensively suppressing the four major commercial stations in this season.
If you want to say that it is all dependent on TV dramas to forcibly increase the average ratings of the whole day, it is not like, the current variety show ratings of Kanto United are increasing steadily, or are they rising every day of the week, even night variety shows are no exception, and news programs are also sitting on the top spot among private TV stations, only losing to NHK TV, but it is unfair to compare news with NHK TV, NHK can put the camera in the Diet, and Kanto United is not that qualified, at most go to the gangster press conference.
The performance of the sub-supply program is also very eye-catching, several animations and special effects dramas have become popular, not only have they become the favorite of primary school students, but even many adults are addicted to it, especially the surrounding sales are quite good, I feel that this has not been broadcast for long, and it seems that it has returned to its roots.
The rest of the programs are in a similar situation, the ratings are more or less rising, and even the advertisements of Kanto United look more interesting than the advertisements of other TV stations, especially Kanto United has recently begun to pay attention to the placement of public service advertisements, and it is very interesting and very well-shot, and it has swiped a wave of favorability among the people and civil society.
Only then did everyone react, Kanto United has really changed a lot, its production department can be said to be completely new, and the performance improvement is comprehensive, not only the TV series, but also the obvious that all aspects have become more active, more proactive, and more aggressive.
There are those who are happy that this situation is beneficial to the broadcasting industry as a whole, and the comprehensive recovery of the Kanto United will force the four major commercial stations to double their investment and produce more good programs to fight, and the audience will be blessed;
Some people are worried that this will destroy the already stable structure of the broadcasting industry and plunge into a full-blown vicious competition, and if a hegemon is decided, it may not be beneficial to the industry in the long run.
However, no matter how you look at it, these people admit that the Kanto United has come out of the predicament, and if they can maintain this momentum, it is very likely that the latecomers will prevail and at least occupy a solid territory - Chihara Rin This kid does have two brushes, and he is really a genius born for this industry, no matter what position he is in, his performance is unmatched.
and he was born in the same era, which can be said to be lucky or unlucky.
Qianyuan Rin didn't care about the discussion of the outside world, and he couldn't do anything if he cared about those, he was now busy supervising the preparation of the next season of the show, and he felt very Zhu Yuanzhang - no matter how big or small, he had to take care of it, and all kinds of rules and regulations came out one after another, and whoever didn't do well would be put in the lead, and whoever dared to take bribes would be stripped and filled...... It is impossible to peel the skin and fill the grass, but it must be sent to Shikoku to gnaw taro, and sent to Hokkaido to eat ice slag, there is no negotiation!
Anyway, no matter what the outside world says, he continues to push forward his plan steadfastly, unswervingly.
…………
"Thank you for your hard work, Shiratori has taken care of you, please drink some drinks to relieve the heat. ”
Between the filming of "Sea Ama", Aina Shiratori's agent Ikegami Yong carried a large bag of chilled canned oolong tea and distributed it around, thanking him well, no matter how high or low he was, almost none of them were spared.
He was originally a graphic model agent, and it is rare for him to produce an artist who can break into the mainstream of the entertainment industry, especially this artist has developed quite well, and the new drama has become an instant hit, and the current critics give a very high evaluation, and is known as the most powerful contender for this season's star awards - if you don't win it this season, you will definitely win it next season, everyone feels that according to her performance and the popularity of "Sea Girl", she has no problem winning the award, and it is completely certain.
He attaches great importance to Aina Shiratori, and hopes to create a legend in the entertainment industry with her, and runs to help his artists sell well every day, and is willing to do some day jobs for the crew from time to time. This time is no exception, after finishing the oolong tea, and laughing with a few staff members for a while, then I went to find Shiratori Aina, and when I saw her, I suppressed my excitement and whispered: "Aina-chan, there are good things, there are great things." ”
Aina Shiratori saluted him first, and then asked curiously, "What's going on, Ikegami-san?"
Ikegami Yong immediately took out a thin script, looked left and right before lowering his voice and said: "You received an invitation to star in a new drama, not an audition, but a direct role, and it is the main service!"
Aina Shiratori's eyes lit up, "Sea Girl" is strictly speaking a group drama, the plot revolves around the three generations of sea girls, her "granddaughter" is only one of the leading actors, so to get a drama that revolves around her is obviously a big step forward in her acting career, I couldn't help but reach out and grab the script, but I got it, hesitated for a moment but didn't open it, and asked worriedly: "It's a new drama from the Kanto Union, right?"
If not, no matter how good the conditions are, she can't take it, otherwise the crew won't be able to spare her, and she will even be directly regarded as a traitor, and the role in front of her will not be able to keep - in this industry, traitors rarely end well, and it was the drama "Sea Girl" that made her popular, if it wasn't for the Kanto United that had other arrangements, she would take on other dramas with a little fame, which was easy to be understood as ungrateful.
This is an unspoken rule in the industry, of course Isamu Chishang understands, and immediately smiled: "It's not that I don't dare to show it to you, this is a big production of the Kanto United Autumn File, and I heard that it is also the main creative work of Qianyuan." ”
Shiratori Aina was immediately relieved, took the script in his hand and took a brief look, and found that he was going to play the role of "Makino Shancai", and there are four male protagonists, and the whole drama is simply a series of bloody incidents caused by the pursuit of "themselves" by the four male protagonists, which is very similar to a campus romance drama, which is relatively low-intellectual.
Can this have an audience?
Aina Shiratori was a little skeptical, but she turned her mind and threw this idea aside, Rin Chihara is the guarantee of the brand, since it is the drama he focuses on, I think the results will not be bad, and Ichigami Yong hesitated next to him, and said: "I also heard that the position of your main service was ordered by Chihara himself, and he seems to appreciate you very much." ”
Aina Shiratori was stunned, she had seen Rin Chihara twice, she had spoken once, and the time she had spoken was just polite words, she had been busy pouring wine and cloth dishes, and she had done nothing else - I didn't do anything, why did you look at me differently?
She hurriedly asked, "Why?"
"I don't know. Chi Shang Yong didn't care, and said happily: "No matter what the reason, it's always a good thing, if you have no opinion, I will directly agree for you." ”
Ji Jingren also has the obligation to choose dramas for actors, but his professional ability is not strong, and he can't tell whether it is beneficial or harmful for actors to play just by looking at the script, so he simply recognizes the brand, and feels that there will be no problem with Chihara Rinto's drama directly, and Shiratori Aina also thinks so, anyway, he followed the Kanto United Walk, and immediately said obediently: "Okay, then I'll leave everything to you." ”
"I'll try my best to get you a good deal, don't worry. Imu Ikegami was confident in this, but after thinking about it, he asked, "It's just...... Would you like to thank Chihara for her appreciation?"
Aina Shiratori also knows about the accident, and feels the need to go there, at least to show an attitude of appreciation, but Rin Chihara is a big man, and he doesn't know if it's appropriate to rush to disturb him, and it will be very bad if it is self-defeating.
She thought for a moment and said, "Wait, I'll ask Miss Konoe!"
She directly took out the mobile phone she had just bought, communicated with Hitomi Konoe by email for a while, and waited there for a while, and then received Hitomi Konoe's reply: Aina, he said that you just have this heart, you don't have to go out of your way to thank him, it's better to give priority to filming.
followed by another one: he is such an antique, he doesn't like to socialize, you don't have to worry about him, you can do whatever you have to do, and being able to perform the play well is his greatest thanks.
This was followed by an email from Hitomi Konoe: Don't tell him that I'm an antique, or I'll die.
Shiratori Aina was speechless, and she didn't dare to go to Chihara Rin to play with her tongue in front of Chihara Rin for ten guts, so she quickly deleted the last two, and then showed the phone to Chigami Yong, and Chigami Yong had some regrets, if he could show his face in front of Chihara Rin in the name of gratitude, it would be very good for him, but unfortunately there was no chance.
He couldn't help it if he didn't have a chance, so he got up directly and said: "Okay, Aina-chan, I'll go to negotiate the contract now, this is a rare opportunity in your career, take the time to read more scripts, figure out more roles, and be sure to play well, otherwise you will lose not only your face, but also Qian's original appearance, we can't afford to lose his face, you must come on!"
Aina Shiratori nodded vigorously, indicating that she absolutely understood this, and after sending away Isamu Ikegami, she did begin to read the script carefully, and began to build the personality and expression pattern of Makino Shana very carefully, but no matter how you look at this script, it ...... It's so mentally retarded, it's very much like the fairy tale of Cinderella and the Prince, but with a different background.
Will this show really be popular?
