"According to the statistics department's calculations, the average viewership of last night's first episode was 22.3%, and the highest rating was 34%."

"What about the competitors?"

The staff swallowed, "The average rating over there is 27.8%, and the highest rating reaches 50%."

"It's a lot worse, what's the problem?"

"It could be an actor...... The other side is more popular than us."

"Don't blame the actors for everything."

"Yes......"

Hidaka Junaki looked at the ratings report, which was five percentage points worse than Fukuyama TV...... But strangely, I didn't feel anxious and depressed.

Not only do I not have this feeling, but looking at it, it seems that the main creative team does not have this feeling. Have you become calmer? No, Hidaka Junaki himself doesn't really want to admit it......

It's that he doesn't have any shame about losing to Kei Fujiwara anymore, and subconsciously feels that losing to him is a normal thing.

This is also the first time since Hidaka Junming has encountered someone who feels a sense of powerlessness, that is, no matter how hard you try to climb up, you can only feel farther and farther away from the other person.

What's even more terrifying is that he obviously started to climb first, and in just a moment, the other party swept past him, and then climbed higher and faster.

And this sense of powerlessness has been going on since "Homeless Child", and "Naoki Hanzawa" reached its peak after it was broadcast, and now he is used to this feeling.

After the morning meeting, Atsuaki Hidaka went to Madosuke Kato's office, where there was a projection screen where the first episode of "Victory is Justice" was playing repeatedly.

Madosuke Kato couldn't help nodding, "Yes, it turned out to be from this entry point, exploring a profound theme, and it also brought the legal drama out of the trap of the genre. It's amazing that the comedy can reduce the seriousness of the theme and make it more acceptable to the audience."

"Coupled with Takara Miyata and Aoi Kono, two popular actors, presumably the ratings of this show are better than ours, how much better, a lot?"

"About 5 percentage points." Hidaka said helplessly, "There's a big gap."

"Don't worry too much." Madosuke Kato said, "'Pioneer Lawyer' is a work that wins by plot, and the ratings of subsequent episodes will gradually increase. The other party's cast is stronger than ours, so it makes sense that they did better than us in the first episode. Let's talk about the long war."

"And didn't we make trouble for Fukuyamadai before? This time, people are going to find the field with an iron heart, and there is no other way than to actively respond to the battle. You, don't think about crooked ideas anymore, that kid at Fujiwara is not a simple person, you dare to play an off-the-plate move, he makes a more ruthless move, doesn't that kid from Panasonic lie in the sanatorium with crooked eyes now? I'm getting old......

"Yes, yes, not this time." Hidaka Junming hurriedly said.

"Well, call the writers in for a meeting." Madosuke Kato said, "I'm going to add more original plots to the script."

"Original Story...... It's very risky, Kato-sensei." Hidaka said.

"That's right, but "Pioneer Lawyer" was 15 years ago after all, how can it attract the main audience of the current TV series without making changes? It's risky, but it's worth the effort."

….

The film and television adaptation of the original book will more or less make some changes, but the scale and precision of the changes must be paid special attention, otherwise it will attract the anger of the original fans.

The reason why many adaptations have not achieved satisfactory results is because the screenwriters have added a lot of original plots to the work, but these original plots have not added color to the work, but have made some original fans feel that the work has become unfamiliar.

Therefore, in the process of adaptation, this play is very restrained, just to attract the audience to the greatest extent. And now that Makato has decided to make drastic changes, it also makes Hidaka Junaki a little worried, what if the change is not good?

It doesn't matter if the ratings can't beat "Victory is Justice", looking at this momentum, it should be no problem for the ratings to remain above 17%.

, but what if the ratings accidentally plummet?

"Kato-sensei, I think it's still ......."

"Hidaka, when did you become so daring?" Madosuke Kato suddenly looked at Hidaka Junming, "If it really doesn't change well and is abandoned by the audience, I'll personally apologize, what do you need to worry about so much?"

Hidaka Junaki had nothing to say, although he couldn't bear to apologize for the poor performance of the TV series at Kato's age, but Kato Ensuke had no choice but to agree.

……

As soon as Kei Fujiwara's four dramas were broadcast, three of them firmly occupied the top five in the ratings of the first episode of the new drama in the autumn, and Jitoyo Yamaguchi looked at the ratings of the new drama in the newspaper and was overjoyed.

Although only one episode has been aired and has not yet sparked a particularly wide range of discussions, several TV magazines seem to have a strong interest in "Victory is Justice", and have opened up a special page in the magazine to discuss the theme of this drama.

However, some newspapers and periodicals have fiercely criticized the bad ideas expressed in this drama.

"Kensuke Komito is the most meaningless protagonist in the history of this legal drama, and the greed and selfishness he shows are just grandstanding on the part of the screenwriter. Among all the types of TV dramas, professional dramas are undoubtedly of the greatest educational significance to the people. However, this "Victory is Justice" completely abandoned the great significance of professional dramas, and instead tarnished the spiritual idyllic of some young audiences. The author is really sad that after "Hanzawa Naoki", Kei Fujiwara came up with such a work with no correct concepts, "Hanzawa Naoki" awakened the spirit of resistance to workplace bullying among the low-level staff, and "Victory is Justice" tried to tell everyone that the real success in this society is a utilitarian person like Kensuke Komimon."

"A real legal drama should be like "Pioneer Lawyer", which spreads the correct concept of good and evil, and evil will eventually be brought to justice. This is the social mission that the creator of the TV series should shoulder, but Kei Fujiwara abandoned such a mission and spread the concept of "everything looks at money", which is despicable. He is not worthy of the name of a national teacher. A true national teacher is not worthy of inheriting the mantle of Masamu Kato."

[In view of the general environment,

When Yamaguchi saw this article, he was so angry that he wanted to scold on the spot, damn it, and started writing boring articles to slander our lovely Fujiwara Kei again.

….

This newspaper is an affiliate of Fanxingtai, and this time "Furuhata Renzaburo" just disrupted the broadcast plan of Fanxingtai, so that one of the other party's ace dramas was caught off guard by "Furuhata Renzaburo", probably with some purpose of revenge.

What's more, this article expresses almost the mainstream concept in society, in this book, the status of TV series is higher than that of movies, which is also a feature of the cultural industry. After all, in other countries, it is the status of movies that is on the high side.

In the United States, a good movie is no different from a money printing press, but in the United States, even a very high-grossing film can only be sold for a fraction of Hollywood.

On the other hand, it is the reason why most viewers do prefer TV dramas, TV dramas have a wider audience, so the society requires TV dramas to spread a certain [correct concept] and play a role in educating the people, and those who can do this are called "national teachers".

Because of "Naoki Hanzawa", Kei Fujiwara has been labeled as a national teacher on his head, but because he is too young, the media often don't call him so. Only the media of the Spring and Autumn Department and the Fukuyama Department will keep calling one national teacher at a time.

However, a hint of worry flashed in Yamaguchi's eyes, and to some extent, this article also reflects the perception of many people in today's society. And will the ratings of "Victory is Justice" also be affected by this?
