Chapter 272: Overseas Markets for Japanese Dramas
"Fujiwara-sensei, congratulations."
After coming to the shooting base of Fukuyamadai, I happened to take a photo with Yamaguchi Jitoyo, and Yamaguchi Jitoyo stretched out his hand when he came up, smiling and saying goodbye.
Fujiwara Kei doesn't know what kind of joy he is, is "Hanzawa Naoki" breaking through the historical ratings and winning the honor of "Quadruple Crown"? Or does "Life is Beautiful" still maintain high ratings? Or is his new book on the bestseller list for weeks and then a bestseller of the year?
But he didn't ask much, just casually echoed and shook hands with Yamaguchi Jitoyo.
"Thank you, thank you......
In fact, according to Kei Fujiwara's achievements in the past two years, if it weren't for the fact that he only had a two-year short contract, he would have been promoted to the top management of the production bureau earlier, at least he would be a minister.
Too young to be a minister? Whoever dares to say this sentence is estimated to be dragged out by Yoshida Kashi directly. The director of the station just put forward the slogan "ratings are everything" last year, what are you doing openly against his old man? Unless you can come up with a pen Kei Fujiwara for better results, there will be less such nonsense.
Yamaguchi Jiyu, who occasionally expressed his concern for Kei Fujiwara's domination of the entire ninth period of the month, at high-level meetings before, has never mentioned this matter after the broadcast of "Hanzawa Naoki".
"By the way, Fujiwara-kun, do you have time at night, let's go to Ginza to play a game together, and we can go to the club to sit down when ......we are done," Yamaguchi Jitoyo said with a smile.
Yamaguchi Jitoyo likes to bowl, and he has invited Fujiwara Kei a few times before, Fujiwara Kei has declined politely before, but Yamaguchi Jitoyo has perseverance. It doesn't look good on the face if he refuses too many times, so Kei Fujiwara rarely hesitated this time, thinking about whether to go or not. But definitely not because of the club in Yamaguchi Jitoyoguchi.
The so-called Ginza club is the place where Mama-san and the escort girls work, the real Vanity Fair, but it is expensive to go once, and ordinary workers can't afford to go there.
Kei Fujiwara didn't immediately refuse this time, and Yamaguchi saw that there was a play, so he immediately said, "Fujiwara-sensei, if you sit and write inactively, your physique will also decline, and it's good to sweat occasionally."
This is a trick, in fact, bowling or something, who cares. The real attraction is the gentle young girls in the club who bring wine glasses to your lips, but to put it bluntly, I'm afraid that Fujiwara Kei will be embarrassed to go, and look like a womanizer.
After this period of time, Yamaguchi Jitoyo analyzed that Kei Fujiwara is not a person who is in a hurry, but he is not lustful. As soon as I entered the showbiz, I had scandals with so many female artists, and I hooked up with my own female producer, and I heard that several times the producer of Suwon was sent home by Kei Fujiwara after getting drunk, maybe he sent it to his own house halfway.
But there are so many female employees of the TV station, and none of them have caught him, and he looks like a patient and decent pervert.
"By the way, Director Yamaguchi, are you free now? I have something to say to you."
"Oh? Now?" Yamaguchi Jifeng was a little surprised, could it be that he had something to ask me? "Okay, go to my office."
Coming to the office of the director of the production bureau, Yamaguchi Jitoyo asked the secretary to pour hot tea, and the two sat down, Fujiwara Kei raised the teacup, blew it gently, and gently touched the wall of the cup with his lips, feeling a little hot, so he put the teacup down again.
….
"The smell of this tea is very good, I brought it back when I went to China." Yamaguchi Jitoyo said with some pride, "There is also baijiu, Chinese baijiu is also very famous, haha, although the taste is really a little too stimulating for me, but I heard that mature and experienced men can taste the taste of baijiu, so I can drink a little bit recently, haha."
"Has Mr. Yamaguchi been to China?" Kei Fujiwara asked.
"Well, I've been there once, on business. China has introduced foreign TV dramas, and Japanese dramas and Korean dramas seem to have bought a lot. Fukuyama selected a few films and sent them over, and the response in China was still good. I've also watched some of their films, and some of them are quite good, although the mainland films are a bit backward in terms of imaging technology, but they are very ingenious, and I think their film and television industry will become very powerful in the future."
Yamaguchi seems to have a good impression of China, although I don't know what he thinks in his heart
But at least that's what it shows. Of course, it is also because it is still the honeymoon period between China and Japan, and China is a friendly neighbor with a strip of water, which is the mainstream idea of this society at this time.
"By the way, Fukuyama TV recently plans to export another batch of TV dramas overseas, and plans to let your "Long Vacation" and "Hanzawa Naoki" be the vanguard, which was just decided by the director at the high-level meeting not long ago, haha, I'll tell you more first."
Fujiwara Kei seemed to be very interested in what Yamaguchi Jitoyo said, and asked more: "In addition to exporting to Chinese mainland, have Yumoto's TV dramas been exported to other places?"
"Hong Kong, Taiwan, Korea, Southeast Asia...... Very few are exported to the West......
"How's it selling?"
Jitoyo Yamaguchi smiled helplessly, "To be honest, it's not very good, even in Chinese mainland, it seems that the film has become less easy to sell recently. Chinese now seem to prefer Korean dramas and Taiwanese dramas, and the overseas market for TV dramas has always been the weakness of this TV series. It's not Fukuyamadai's weakness, it's the same for the entire industry. Maybe my taste for watching TV dramas is different from that of other countries."
That's not the case...... Fujiwara Kei said in his heart. They are all Confucian cultural circles, the diffraction zone of Chinese civilization, where can the taste deviate? If it doesn't sell well in the West, it can be explained that it's a cultural environment problem, but if it doesn't sell well in Asia, you have to think about your own problems.
Japanese dramas entered the Chinese market in the early 80s, and Korean dramas premiered in China, that is, two or three years ago, and now the Korean Wave has emerged in China, and in a few years, the Korean Wave will sweep the entire land of China.
When it comes to the influence of overseas culture on China, they all say that the Japanese Wave and the Korean Wave, but in fact, most of the people who support the Japanese Wave are cartoons, although the Japanese entertainment is the teacher of Korean entertainment, but this teacher will gradually be surpassed by the students.
Even if you achieve high achievements in the field of TV dramas, once you go abroad, you will become half shorter......
Kei Fujiwara thought silently in his heart, he didn't say this, it was useless to say it, and now many TV station executives don't seem to care too much about the overseas market.
Especially in the Chinese market...... These idiots don't know what kind of treasure they're going to miss.
"By the way, Fujiwara-sensei." Seeing that Fujiwara Kei asked some questions and didn't seem to say anything important, Yamaguchi Jitoyo took the initiative to ask, pulled the topic back, then raised the cup, and then took a slow sip of tea.

"I'm going to hand over the second season of "Renzaburo Furuhata" and the second season of "Lonely Foodie" to the production bureau to film, and I will also write another drama for the production bureau, but I will specify the main creative staff and the broadcast time."
"Hmm...... What?! Poof!" Yamaguchi didn't react for a while, so he took a big sip of tea, scalded his tongue, and then squirted out a mouth full of tea.
Fortunately, he turned his head in time and didn't spray it on Kei Fujiwara's face.
