Takayasu Endo participated in the discussion of the TV series "Dragon Sakura" in various online communities. Seeing that most viewers had a good evaluation of this TV series made him even more excited and sleepy.

It wasn't until the phone was about to run out of battery that he reluctantly put it down.

At this time, it was already three o'clock in the morning.

His girlfriend, Aino Suzuki, has gone back to her bedroom to sleep. And Endo Ryakasu looked at the quilt and pillow that his girlfriend had brought him at some point, and smiled helplessly.

"Caino is so flawless, I don't even have an excuse to sneak into her bedroom. Forget it, I don't have that kind of mind right now, so let's sleep on the couch for the night. It's good that tomorrow is a rest day, otherwise it would be troublesome......"

After the excitement passed, Endo Takayasu yawned, got under the covers, and fell into a deep sleep.

This night, many people were extremely excited because of the premiere of the "Dragon Sakura" TV series, and stayed up until late at night to go to bed. There are also some people who, after watching the TV series, choose to go to bed early to refresh themselves for the next day.

Among such people is Tamagawa Koji.

Although he doesn't have to go to work on Saturdays, Tamagawa Koji still gets up at 7 o'clock in the morning just like a working day.

After washing up and grooming and eating his wife's breakfast, Yasuji Tamagawa drove his Lexus to the TBS building in Akasaka 5-chome, Minato-ku.

Although Saturday is a day off for ordinary people, it is still bustling with people today, such as the TV station, which is open all year round. Staff and artists who come to TBS to shoot the program group can be seen everywhere.

A top producer like Koji Tamagawa has an extraordinary status in the TV station, and since he walked into the TV station hall, people have taken the initiative to bow to him from time to time to greet him.

And today, in addition to saying "Good morning, producer of Tamagawa", these people often add praise such as "Dragon Sakura is amazing".

Last night, the first episode of the "Dragon Sakura" TV series premiered, and many people in the industry are paying attention to the ratings.

Although Koji Tamagawa didn't care about the specific numbers, looking at the smiling faces of the employees who greeted him all the way, he knew that the ratings of "Dragon Sakura" were very good.

Taking the elevator to his office on the top floor, Tamagawa took a break before calling his assistant Naoko Fujibayashi.

After a while, a capable woman in a professional skirt came to Tamagawa Koji's office with a stack of papers.

"Tama Chuan-san, this is the ratings report you ordered yesterday, and I made it overnight. Naoko Fujibayashi placed the document on Koji Tamagawa's desk and asked, "Do you want coffee?"

"I'm sorry for you, Naoko. The mocha you brewed, no one can compare. ”

Naoko Fujibayashi nodded, and left Yasuji Tamagawa's office and headed to the pantry.

And Tamagawa Yasuji began to look through the report that Naoko Fujibayashi made overnight.

So far, most of the Japanese dramas in the autumn schedule have been broadcast. Among the remaining Japanese dramas that have not yet been broadcast, only NTV broadcasts "Academy Flower Man" one day later than "Dragon Sakura", which is worthy of Tamagawa Yasuji's attention.

Whether it is from the perspective of the audience group or the type of TV series itself, "Academy Flower Man" is the biggest opponent of "Dragon Sakura", and Tamagawa Koji does not pay attention to it.

Although it is already known that the ratings of "Dragon Sakura" are good, Koji Tamagawa hopes that "Dragon Sakura" can come up with a rating that far exceeds "good". In this way, TBS will be a little more relaxed when facing the challenges of NTV's ratings.

In the past, TBS was at the forefront of TV dramas compared to the other four private TV stations, and there was even a saying that "TBS for Dorama (the pronunciation of Japanese TV dramas)" was once said, but since the 90s of the last century, it has gradually been surpassed by Fuji TV.

At that time, Fuji Television released several dramas with the theme of the love story between men and women in the context of the rapid economic development of the city, and it was a great success.

Not only has it received huge economic benefits and caused unprecedented social repercussions, but Fuji TV's image among the people has also been greatly improved.

In the past, after graduating from various universities, female students majoring in broadcasting were often the first choice of TBS among the major private TV stations, except for NHK, which is backed by the state.

However, after the 90s of the last century, the employment intentions of female college students changed. Fuji TV has become the first choice of future female anchors.

From such a small change, we can see the changes in the status of several major private television stations.

Today, TBS is no longer as glorious as it used to be, and although it has also released many phenomenal TV series, overall, the ratings are good and bad, and they are not stable.

Moreover, it is not only Fuji TV that has surpassed TBS and occupied the top spot in the ratings of private TV stations, but other TV stations are also catching up.

After all, in this era of rapid economic development, the money in the pockets of major enterprises is about to overflow, and they will naturally not hesitate to spend all kinds of sponsorship and advertising expenses. For TV stations, every percentage point increase in ratings means huge economic benefits.

Koji Tamagawa held the ratings report in his hand, his thoughts fluttering, and he recalled the past events of that year.

When his assistant Naoko Fujibayashi brought the steaming, fragrant coffee to him, Tamagawa Koji came to his senses.

"Thank you. Naoko, you go down first. Yasuji Tamagawa nodded to his assistant, took a sip of his coffee, cheered himself up, and began to read the ratings report.

Most of Dongying's domestic TV ratings are counted by a professional survey company called "Video_Research".

Just as manga sales are only counted in Tokyo, it is possible to roughly estimate the sales of Jeondong Ying, and Video_Research ratings surveys are generally limited to the Tokyo area.

This company is very professional, not only according to the time, but also divided the ratings into daily, weekly, monthly, quarterly, annual and other types. Moreover, according to the viewing group, the individual ratings, generational ratings, and so on are subdivided.

In addition to ratings for dramas and various TV programs, Video_Research also provide special services such as measuring the effectiveness of advertisements.

Such a professional data research company is highly authoritative, and major TV stations will conduct business activities based on the ratings it provides.

"In the new season of "Wonderful Things of the World", the ratings of the first episode are 18.3%, regardless of the old and strong files. Fujitai really has a set!" Tamagawa Yasuji sighed in his heart. He didn't bother to watch the ratings of other TV series anymore, so he jumped directly to the statistics column of TBS.

When he saw the ratings figures for "Dragon Sakura", he was immediately shocked.
