Chapter 403: Ascetic Workaholics
The next morning, Aina Shiratori was still a little uneasy, and made several small mistakes, but she was not scolded for this, mainly because the whole crew was a little absent-minded, especially the idols, all of them were very nervous, and they couldn't withstand the wind and waves than Aina Shiratori.
Fortunately, soon the producer and the big director came back from the ratings analysis meeting, and Ma announced the ratings of "Men Over Flowers" - the average rating of the first two episodes was 23.22%, and it is currently at the top of the ratings list for the new season, which immediately made the whole crew cheer.
This result is really explosive, even if it is placed in the golden decade, it is also an excellent opening season, and it is also very unexpected to break the record of the highest ratings for the premiere of idol dramas in ten years, and Aina Shiratori finally knows the ratings results, which are far better than expected, all worries suddenly turned into ashes, and directly dissipated, covering his mouth tightly, afraid that he would lose his temper and scream.
As the main player, even if this achievement is no longer improved, it will be able to pass in the final season, and it will not have much impact on the acting career, not to mention that the ratings response is obviously excellent, and it is very likely to become a national hit drama like "Sea Girl", and it is not impossible to even challenge 40% of the drama line.
For a graphic model who has just made his debut as an actor, participating in two dramas, both of which are national hit dramas, this situation is really a dream, and it is estimated that nine out of ten actresses will have a cerebral hemorrhage because of this.
The ratings are good, everyone in the crew will benefit, the cheers are over, and there is a sound of congratulations to each other at the shooting site, and Aina Shiratori forcibly suppressed her excitement, and also congratulated each other with the flow and everyone, until the great director Miyawaki Yohito began to stop - Miyawaki Yohito was also very excited, and the opportunity to talk for five minutes was rare, asking everyone to make persistent efforts and strive to hold the throne of this season.
Aina Shiratori actively responded to the call and began to shoot harder, keeping in mind her mother's teaching: if you don't seize the opportunity when it comes, you will definitely live in regret for the rest of your life.
Now is the time to redouble your efforts!
A week later, "Men Over Flowers" aired its third episode, and the average hour-time ratings soared by 1.97% again, not only holding on to its position, but also widening the gap with the second place - although the second place is also a program of its own TV station, it doesn't matter, but for the small collective of the crew, it is still gratifying.
The critics of the drama are also overwhelmingly praised, saying that the theme is novel, the rhythm is compact, the acting skills are passable, the plot is reasonable, and the shooting is even more exquisite - this kind of theme was filmed badly in later generations, but in ninety-eight years, this is indeed a fresh theme, and Chihara Rin has watched the adaptation of the seven versions of "The Man Over Flowers", studied the advantages and disadvantages of each version, and did change a lot when he led the remake, so as to promote his strengths and avoid his weaknesses.
After all, it's an adaptation, of course, we have to strive for better than the first time.
The audience also bought this "urban Cinderella fairy tale" account, not only enthusiastically chasing the drama, but also set up hundreds of large and small discussion groups, forums, message boards and support groups on the Internet, in just one week, there were more than 110,000 related messages, and even the network information research company exclusive to Rin Chihara couldn't count it.
In addition, almost all female college students have fallen under F4's suit pants, even if they don't drool over it, they will be willing to chase dramas, so that they can get along with friends and have discussion topics, and Tokyo 50 female idols such as Gomi Mitsuchiyo have also made a good use of popularity, and they have really become widely known, and there are fans of Minami Kyushu who have crossed half of the day to support them.
There are various situations, but a wave of "beautiful men" has indeed begun to form, and there is a heated discussion about "Men Over Flowers" in the streets and alleys, and the two related songs of "WISH" and "Stargazing" have been competing for one place on the public credit list since the release date, and staged the first confrontation between idols and professional singers on the public credit list - at present, the singers represented by Banquan Spring still have a slight upper hand, but the "WISH" of the F4 chorus It is possible to catch up at any time, which can be regarded as a harbinger of the rise of the idol fan economy, and paves the way for idols to sweep the public trust list in the future.
In just half a month, the impact is really big, "The Man Over Flowers" even faintly began to affect the aesthetics of society, but most people don't notice it in a short time - in the past, tough guys were still the mainstream in TV dramas, and they had to be angular and angular, and the actor was more looking at his acting skills than his appearance, if his acting skills were good, the appearance could be relaxed, but in the future, he would have to change to "beautiful man", first to see if he was a beautiful man, and then to see how his acting skills were.
This can be regarded as raising the aesthetic level of the audience in disguise, as long as the audience is a creature like a bird's nest shark fin, they don't want to put their mouths off when they see the nest head, or simply spit directly.
Aina Shiratori's limelight is not weak, as the main service, the whole drama revolves around her, and "Weedy Shancai" is also very popular with the audience, and in a blink of an eye, her posters and print advertisements are plastered all over major shopping malls, and the call for the annual newcomer king and even the best actress award is getting higher and higher.
The magazine likes her even more, continuous interviews, continuous big covers, and in the monthly voting, just after the 15th, she has locked in the "Most Popular Actress of the Month", "Tokyo Dream Lover", "The Best-looking Female Artist" and other bizarre awards.
Shiratori Aina was naturally more excited, and often secretly read newspapers and magazines, but when she calmed down, she often recalled in her mind what Rin Chihara had said to her, "You won't regret starring in this drama" - at that time, she only felt that Rin Chihara was very confident, but now it feels more and more strange.
Did all the development be in his calculations?
She is a rare female artist with brains, after having this idea, she has invested more attention in this area, secretly inquired about a lot of things, and when she knows enough, she even began to fear Chihara Rin, feeling that Chihara Rin is becoming more and more majestic, and is slowly enveloping the world of the entertainment industry, and it is very likely to become the curtain of the times in the future - in the shadows, a pair of indifferent eyes secretly watch everything in the entertainment industry, and occasionally quietly fiddle with the chess pieces, so that the historical process meets his expectations.
This...... Isn't this the Great Demon King?
............
Rin Chihara didn't know that he had been brain-filled into the Great Demon King Reserve, and he was listening to Iori Murakami's report on "Men Over Flowers" in the office - this drama has been going on for a year with the main drama and SP take-out movie, which is one of the cores of the big plan, and he has been focusing on it, but most of the chores are still pushed to Iori Murakami.
Murakami Iori was also used to it, so he first handed him a bunch of meeting minutes and reports, so that he had a good idea of everything, and then turned over the notepad and asked, "The president of Paris is going to invite you to dinner, are you interested in going?"
Rin Chihara lowered his head and asked casually, "Something important?"
Iori Murakami shrugged: "I heard that their sales have increased by 166% this week, I think I want to thank you, or maybe I'm afraid that my peers will also intervene and want to do your job." ”
The luxury goods in "Men Over Flowers", such as famous watches, famous bags, fancy clothes, etc., are all borrowed genuine goods, basically all from the brand under the luxury group of Paris Midsummer, so now look at it, it is very likely that I got an unexpected joy and excitement.
Rin Chihara thought for a moment and asked, "I'm afraid that my peers will also intervene?" Are other luxury groups or brands also starting to be interested?"
Iori Murakami said with a smile: "That's right, there are several second-tier brands that have contacted the crew through relationships and are willing to lend products for free, and LUCOO also contacted the crew and said that they want to talk about it again." ”
Rin Chihara couldn't help but laugh, "They don't talk about style now?"
Murakami Iori also felt very happy, at that time she was sent away casually, and smiled directly: "They may be more afraid that Paris will squeeze their market share in the middle of summer, and now that the economy is in recession, luxury goods are not as good as before...... It is said that the minister who was in charge of the negotiations has been demoted, and the new person in charge has spoken in a tone ten times more polite. ”
However, she was very professional, and quickly got down to business again, asking, "What do you mean, how do you reply to them?"
Chihara Rin shook his head with a smile: "I don't want to take risks if I don't want to take them, I want to talk about them again if there are benefits, how can there be such good things in the world, don't pay attention to them." ”
This is a refusal, Murakami Iori has no opinion, anyway, she is in charge of execution, and asked: "What about inviting you in Paris in midsummer......"
"If it's just this kind of thing, I won't go, you bring Miyawaki and Nishijima...... Take the white bird with you, and take a trip for me, and you'll be able to deal with it. ”
Iori Murakami didn't expect him to really go, Rin Chihara, as the representative of the second largest shareholder of the Kanto United Corporation, strictly speaking, has a much higher social status than President Yumoto in the middle of Paris, and it's not a big deal, so it's normal for him to be too lazy to go.
She pressed directly: "Then if they propose an exclusive loan share, how will this be answered?"
Rin Chihara said casually: "Let them contribute money to supplement the production funds." If they don't want to come out, other brands besides LUCOO are willing to pay and want to join in. ”
At the beginning, there was no agreement to use their family, so if you want to monopolize resources, of course, you have to pay more, and if you don't want to pay more, of course, you can, after all, people are also the first to express their goodwill, should they borrow or borrow, and continue to give them free publicity, but if someone is willing to pay money, let the actors change their clothes and wear more - pure commercial behavior, now that TV dramas are in demand, there is no way, and commercial behavior cannot only consider emotional factors.
Iori Murakami recorded it casually, ready to handle it according to the rules, and then asked a bunch of miscellaneous things, such as the publishing house was also very happy, "The Man Over Flowers" Related comics and releases,The first edition was sold out in a blink of an eye.,They also began to want to make a big deal.,Hope to start further cooperation with Kanto United TV.,For example, they provide IP to make dramas.,Or help Kanto United do peripherals.,Anyway, it's easy to say.,And I hope to carry out a large-scale tour signing of new books and new manga.,Ready to invite members of Tokyo 50.,Especially F4 and Gomi Mi Mi Chiyo and others to the station.。
For example, the idol brokerage companies affiliated to the idol league are also very excited, and I feel that the original promise of Chihara Rin really saw the dawn of realization, and began to shout desperately to speed up the pace, don't wait, hurry up and open the branches in various places, and quickly occupy the national market, otherwise it is really heart-wrenching to watch the silver flow away in vain, and even some companies have begun to carefully select candidates and trainees, which are ten times more serious than at the beginning.
There were a lot of things, and Rin Chihara and Iori Murakami discussed it for a long time before they were able to straighten it out, and then Iori Murakami patted his ass and left. She is also super busy now, as one of the wings of Rin Chihara, she has to flutter hard to make Rin Chihara fly higher.
Of course, she will naturally rise in tandem and be very satisfied with the current situation.
When she left, Rin Chihara hadn't finished rubbing her neck, Rumi Nishijima came again and reported the administrative affairs to him, but there are not many problems in this area now - those who dare to use the public to make profits and slow down the efficiency of the production bureau have been killed some time ago, and now everything is basically normal, that is, the normal promotions, demotions and new recruits of various departments.
After sending her away, Rin Chihara's daily work in the morning was mostly completed, and he began to read the documents again, spot-checking a few copies of each aspect, and began to "pop and pop" and stamp if there was no problem, and if there was a problem, the minister, deputy director, producer or the special manager in charge would be called to the office to scold, and then let them go back to rectify.
There's no way, it's so hard to be the director. Either you let the organization committee take care of it and have a good time; or you have to do it yourself and work hard and half to death - Zhu Yuanzhang is not easy to do, but there is no way to fight the world, and it is not easy to use the rectification to set up the formation committee, and no matter how tired you are, you have to do it.
Probably wait for full control of the Kanto Union, and then hand over this son to Murakami Iori, the white bone spirit, and then take care of the general direction himself, and then he should be able to relax.
He knocked a bottle of energy potion to dispel the sleepiness, and while being distracted from browsing social news, so as not to be out of touch with society, he was a human-shaped stamp machine, but he didn't expect Shintaro Yasuda to call the phone with a phone call, and directly reported respectfully: "President, Yoshizaki-san's matter is already clear." ”
Rin Chihara tilted his head and held the phone, and his hand did not stop, but his spirit was lifted, and he asked with concern, "Have you come up with a word?"
"Yes, I spent more than 3 million yen to buy the information, and it has been verified, and the content of the other party's explanation is credible. ”
Rin Chihara didn't care about the details, and the money was even more small, so he asked directly, "Who did it?"
"It's a veteran producer of Sakurajima TV, named Maeda Toshihito, and I sent you my personal information in my mailbox. ”
"Senior producer?" Rin Chihara pondered for a moment and asked, "Who's behind him?"
"I can't continue to confirm it, but I can only confirm that he belongs to the director faction of Sakurajima TV. ”
Rin Chihara thought for a moment and felt that this was enough. The other party is engaged in his subordinates, so if he engages in the opponent's subordinates, it can be regarded as reciprocal revenge, so as not to have a full-scale conflict with Sakurajima TV, and let Tokyo Broadcasting TEB and other TV stations take advantage of it in vain.
He directly ordered: "Then act, how he treats Yoshizaki, you treat him as you would like to him." ”
"President, this ...... Probably not. On the phone, Shintaro Yasuda hesitated for a while, and said euphemistically: "I have already sent someone to conduct a preliminary investigation here, this Maeda-san is somewhat similar to you, no smoking, no drinking, no marriage, no children, no girlfriend, and no scandals." The mailbox is full of advertising emails, there is no valuable information, and people basically stay in the TV station, and even the apartment rarely replies...... President, this man is an ascetic workaholic, and his only hobby is doing TV shows, and he can't find his weakness for the time being. ”
He checked it around, and found that Maeda Toshihito had no black material to dig at all, just like the nature of Rin Chihara, he couldn't find a chance to splash his sewage, except for the wind commentary, he said nothing in the program group, and he didn't allow others to refute it at all, there were basically no shortcomings, and he was an employee that any company liked super - Even if he is domineering, he is not black material, and he didn't beat anyone, and a veteran producer like him scolds or something, which is purely a workplace atmosphere, a manifestation of serious work, and it is impossible to force the other party to resign.
Rin Chihara scratched his head a little when he heard this, what should I do if the other party can't hack it?
Do you want to suffer a dumb loss?
He was not reconciled, turned on the computer directly, and commanded: "You wait for a while, I'll take a look at his information first." ”
Yoshizaki's kid has moral problems, and being expelled is not much of a grievance, but Maeda Toshihito made a plot because of ratings competition or being instigated, not a personal vendetta, and the ratings of "Five to Nine" made "Five to Nine" lose some of its throne, and this account still has to be calculated.
Anyway, you have to give the other party some color to see, and you will never accept a dumb loss.
