"Don't pretend to be a ghost, what's going on?"

Seeing that Lin Hai was more and more unreliable, he could see that Lixiang interrupted him.

To tell you the truth, no one believes me.

Lin Hai gave an explanation that was easy to understand.

"Some time ago, when I was on the Internet, I saw a post that taught people to cheat on insurance, and the person who posted it claimed to have fraudulently obtained a security deposit by faking food poisoning. I was a little worried, so I checked the IP address of the other party and found that it was located in Wakayama City. IT JUST SO HAPPENED THAT HYDE WAS FROM THERE, AND HIS PARENTS OWNED A BAR, SO I ASKED HIM TO HELP ME INQUIRE AND FOUND OUT THAT THERE WERE INDEED RUMORS ABOUT IT...... Now that summer festivals are being held everywhere, I am worried that the person who posted it is really poisoning the food that is being distributed, as the post says. ”

Rika suddenly became serious.

"Why didn't you call the police?"

"There's no evidence. Lin Hai shrugged his shoulders and said: "Everything is hypothetical, the website has been closed, not to mention whether the police will cooperate with me to mess around, in case of an oolong, how should I end up?"

Rika Nomi thought about it, it was indeed the case.

"So, I need your cooperation......"

Lin Hai laid out the plan and laid it out, while observing Rika's reaction, and finally breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that she had no objection.

Finally got this difficult woman.

……

If history does not change, then on July 25, 1998, there will be a vicious case that shook the whole book, and this case is the famous "Wakayama poisonous curry incident".

The Wakayama Poisoned Curry Incident refers to a vicious murder in which four people were killed and dozens of others were poisoned when pyritis was mixed with pyridium in the summer festival held in the Sonobe area of Wakayama Prefecture.

Twenty years later, a movie called "The Prosecutor's Sinner" was released, and this film starring Takuya Kimura and Kazuya Ninomiya was released, which was the case of the film. Prior to this, the "Wakayama Poison Curry Incident" had been adapted into film and television works many times, and the media reports and social attention aroused had never subsided.

At the time of the incident, the collective panic and anger triggered were unprecedented.

In the final analysis, "summer festival" is a national folk event, "curry" is a national dish, and when combined with the word "poisoning", it is easy to think that "will this happen to me".

If we have to give an example, the impact of the "Wakayama poisonous curry incident" on our society at that time is about as good as that of the United States at the time of the "911" incident.

……

There are complex historical reasons for such a large impact.

In the 20th century, there were many tragedies caused by food safety problems, such as "painful disease" in the 30s, "Minamata disease" and "poisoned powder" in the 50s, and "gutter oil" in the 60s......

Just talk about "poison powder".

The Chinese people are not unfamiliar with this word, but few people know that similar incidents have happened in Ben, and the quality is even worse.

In 1955, the company used non-food raw materials with high arsenic content in powder additives, and the result was that it was made

More than 12,000 children fell ill and 130 died.

This tragedy made me really start to pay attention to food safety.

At that time, Ben had the "Poison Coke Incident" and the "Glico Morinaga Incident" successively.

I won't talk much about it, just the impact.

"Poison Coke" directly caused Coca-Cola's sales to plummet, and indirectly caused me to lose trust in bottled drinks;

And the "Glico Morinaga Incident" had an even greater impact.

In this incident, the police dispatched millions of police forces to fight wits and courage with the suspect who called himself "Strange Man 21 Faces", but after more than half a year of search, nothing was found in the end.

Because of the people's indignation, the head of the Shiga Prefectural Police Headquarters had no choice but to apologize to the people in a ** way.

However, the suicide of a key police officer could not restore the trust of the people, and opened a new door for the perpetrators. After this case, there were dozens of incidents of intimidation of enterprises, and the content of the threatening letters was: If you don't give a lot of money, you will poison a certain product of your company......

Since then, I have completely become a frightened bird, and once a similar incident occurs, it will attract the attention of the whole people.

……

The reason why Lin Hai intervened in the poisonous curry incident was because of the attention it caused.

Yes, his purpose is not simple, preventing the recurrence of the tragedy is only one aspect, and the fundamental purpose is the degree.

As for the reason for the rubbing, one word - money.

……

Lin Hai hired someone to make a budget, and the production cost of "Sea Girl" would need at least one billion yen.

Speaking of the amount alone, many people may not have a concept, and here is an account.

The production cost of the drama is closely related to the producer, broadcast time, theme, number of episodes, etc.

Ranked by the production cost of a single episode -

The late-night file is the lowest, and the production cost of each episode is between five million and eight million, which can be tens of millions, which can already be called luxury.

The evening period is the highest, except for Huo Jiu, the production cost generally ranges from 20 million to 50 million, and as for Huo Jiu drama, it is often as high as 100 million yen.

Why is Fire Nine special?

Because there are no baseball games only on Mondays of the week, the number of viewers who tune in to the TV series is significantly higher.

The above mentioned are all private stations.

The situation of NHK, the only state-run station, is slightly different.

NHK has a lot of money, whether it is a morning drama or a big river drama, the production cost is beyond the reach of private Taiwan, and it is normal for a big river drama to burn billions.

Of course, NHK is also notoriously stingy.

NHK's stinginess is reflected in the actors' salaries.

When private stations produce TV dramas, the budget is allocated in this way - 20% of the actors' salaries, 10% of the screenwriters' salaries, and 50% of the salaries of other personnel, equipment, venues, props, post-production and messy miscellaneous expenses, and the remaining 20% are the income of the production company.

This is not the case with NHK, where actors' salaries often only account for 5% of the total budget. Take it

Takuya Kimura said that he filmed a TV series on Fuji Channel, and the maximum salary for one episode was 3 million, but if he went to NHK, he could only get about 500,000.

In fact, many actors have taken the initiative to reduce their prices when they starred in NHK's TV dramas. There's no way, the other party is "CCTV", it's an honor to ask you to act, do you dare to think that the money is less?

When Lin Hai brought "Sea Girl" to Fujitai, he had to consider the actor's salary.

In this way, one billion yen may not be enough.

……

Of course, the production fee is paid by the TV station.

However, the plan given by Fujitai is very bullying.

Fujidai offers two options.

The first option is commissioned production.

The TV station paid the production fee of 1.2 billion yuan in stages and directly bought out the copyright.

This is the most common way of production for dramas. The advantage of this method is that Lin Hai only needs to finish the TV series, and no matter what the ratings are, it has nothing to do with him. The disadvantage is that the income generated after the TV series is broadcast has nothing to do with him.

The second option is co-production.

This scheme is similar to a VAM. The TV station invested 600 million, and the rest was raised by Lin Hai himself, and the two parties jointly held the copyright, and if the ratings performed well after the broadcast, there would be corresponding rewards. At the same time, the income from videotapes, DVDs and other aspects will also be distributed in a certain proportion.

Of course, Lin Hai would not be stupid enough to choose the first option, but if he chooses the second option, he needs to find a way to fill the funding gap. Of course, this money does not need to be in place all at once, but the time left for Lin Hai to raise funds is still very limited.

In order to get money as soon as possible, Lin Hai took out the "Meteor Trip" that had been created, and at the same time was working on the first single.

Singles aside, let's talk about it.

According to the publishing agreement signed between Lin Hai and Futabasha, the basic royalty is 10%, and if the number of copies exceeds 500,000, the royalty will be increased to 20%.

In other words, according to the normal book price, if Lin Hai's can sell one million copies, the income will be as high as 200 million.

Of course, only if it can be sold.

What affects sales is nothing more than publicity, the author's fame and readers' reputation.

Among them, publicity and word-of-mouth need enough time to ferment, so they have to make a fuss about the author's fame.

To be honest, Lin Hai's popularity is not low now, but this fame is mainly supported by teenagers, and Lin Hai has no confidence in his heart about how much sales can be driven.

So he needs a wider range of attention.

……

It's not difficult, it's hard to make everything look reasonable.

Lin Hai's plan is to go to Wakayama City in the name of a roadshow, and "accidentally" passes by the place of the incident, and the "accident" prevents the tragedy from unfolding.

This series of "accidents" was performed for the accompanying media and the public.

As for the police, another explanation is needed - that is, the one that Lin Hai explained to Rika Inomi.

Why all the trouble?

Because if the tragedy does not happen, the impact will definitely not be as good as in the previous life, then it needs to artificially create a topic.

Of course, also for

to protect yourself.

Lin Hai is very sure that the "accidental" statement will inevitably attract doubts, and at that time, the truth of Lin Hai's "from reasoning to secret visit" will be revealed to the outside world through the police, which will not only be self-defeating, but also harvest another wave of attention.

This BO is down, and sales can be expected.

……

In Lin Hai's plan, Rika is a crucial part.

First of all, Lin Hai needs her to test whether the curry is poisonous. In Lin Hai's words: "You said it was for my safety, so that everyone would be more acceptable." ”

Secondly, she represents the police, and with her shadow in the incident, the police will not appear too incompetent.

But it wasn't easy to get this woman.

Say no, even if it's early.

Just imagine, what would Lin Hai have done if she had told her about it earlier?

There is no doubt that this woman with a strong sense of justice will definitely report to the police in advance, and the police are bound to make a big move.

This is not a conjecture.

Let's take a look at how the "poisonous curry incident" in the previous life was solved-

In the case of insufficient evidence, the police decisively arrested the suspect Lin Zhensumei;

In the absence of sufficient evidence, the media and the public unanimously identified him as the murderer;

In the absence of sufficient evidence, the prosecution sent her to the death table......

From the point of view of procedural justice, this is obviously an unjust case, but Hayashi Shinsumi is not Simpson, and the disgraced police in the "Glico Morinaga Incident" are not so much solving the case as venting their anger.

The topic returned to Rika Nomi.

The reason why Lin Hai first talked about the "dream talk" was to give her the impression that she was "unreliable"; after this preconceived impression was generated, and then explained the "clues" and "bitter intentions", she would become "suspicious" and would not overreact and cause Lin Hai's plan to go bankrupt.

Through superb acting skills and lies, Lin Hai finally fooled Rika, an overly serious and suspicious woman.
