Chapter 153: Just Step Over

"Homeless Children" had been filming for three days, but problems soon ran into it.

For some reason, Tokyo suddenly suffered from continuous heavy rain. It has been three days. The windows of the TV station are full of clear sky dolls, but it still seems to have no intention of stopping the rain. Many exterior shots could not be shot, so we had to shoot interior shots in the studio first.

The studios in Tokyo's shooting base are already tense, with dozens or hundreds of programs being filmed at the same time, including but not limited to variety shows, news, TV series, and even movies. Generally, a program team can only apply for one studio, but

"Homeless Children" seems to have received permission from the station director to be filmed in two studios at the same time.

This also made other employees in the station complain, but they did not dare to express their dissatisfaction openly. Yoshida Kashi realized that the television industry had entered a golden period of development and felt the fierce competition, so he changed the words "Ratings are everything"

The big characters were made into signboards and hung in the most conspicuous place in the corridor of the shooting base.

Under the guidance of this central idea, no one dares to shout about unfairness or anything like that. If you have the ability, you can also shoot a spring champion.

After today's pre-production shooting was completed, Fujiwara Kei went to the post-production room to communicate with the editor, and he didn't have any time to spare.

As soon as he had some free time, Kei Fujiwara sat in his office to rest. He turned around and looked at the green plants placed on the window sill to relax his mind and body.

It’s still rainy in Tokyo, it’s the fourth day.

Kei Fujiwara was in a pretty good mood. The sound of raindrops hitting the glass window seemed to relax him physically and mentally, and he even hummed a song subconsciously.

"Fujiwara, you seem to be in a good mood." Mizuhara Yui walked in, looked at Fujiwara Kei and smiled, "I was worried that you would be stressed, but I feel relieved that you are so relaxed."

Fujiwara Kei turned around and said with a smile: "There will always be pressure, just dispatch it and it will be fine."

Mizuhara Yui looked at the green plants on the windowsill and muttered: "Your method of dispatching pressure is... very environmentally friendly."

"Shall I give you a pot?"

"No, I can even feed a cactus to death."

Mizuhara Yui held a cardboard box in her hand, placed it on Fujiwara Kei's desk, and said: "The things sent by the operation department, and a cantaloupe, were given to you by the director of the operation department. Shibazaki and I also share

Son."

"Operations?"

Kei Fujiwara tilted his head. The operations department is mainly responsible for operating commercial resources, such as TV shopping and selling peripheral products.

The people in the operations department have a very sensitive business sense. After "The Long Vacation" became a hit, these people contacted the publishing house to publish a photo album, which included behind-the-scenes photos of the leading actors and some so-called interesting behind-the-scenes stories. But

Most of them are compiled.

Later, they also made a joint name with a children's electronic keyboard. It is said that Sena used this kind of electronic keyboard to practice when he was a child. I heard that it sold well.

After "Furuhata Renzaburo" was aired, although the ratings were not as good as "Long Vacation", strangely enough, its peripheral products sold extremely well, far surpassing "Long Vacation".

The operations department has also launched various co-branded products, such as ties worn by Furuhata, pipes used by Furuhata, seaweed eaten by Furuhata... and even a *** that Furuhata wore over his head.

This is not a fabrication by the crazy guys in the operations department. In one episode, Furuhata did put the prisoner's penis on his head in order to tease him. I don't know if this guy had his own little agenda.

The sales volume of peripheral products of TV series is generally average, not as good as that of 2D. However, the peripheral products of "Furuhata Jinzaburo" sold so well, which surprised colleagues in the operations department. It seems that the annual target can be completed ahead of schedule, and there are many more.

You can get business bonuses, but in order to express your gratitude to Fujiwara Kei, I gave them as small gifts.

Fujiwara Kei took a look at the carton, and sure enough, except for the cantaloupe as a gift, the others were all peripheral products of "Furuhata Shinsaburo", including seaweed, pipes, nuts, picture albums and ***.

Kei Fujiwara smiled and moved the cardboard box under his desk.

Mizuhara Yui lowered her head and glanced at the script spread out on her desk, sat on the sofa waiting for guests, and asked: "How is it?

,Fujiwara, are you still used to supervising?"

"It's okay." Fujiwara Kei nodded, "By the way, the broadcast time of "Gemini Detectives" has been determined, right?"

"Yes." Mizuhara Yui said, "It is broadcast at the same time as us. It is the strongest opponent among all the programs in the same time period."

"There will always be this day, but it will be earlier than I thought." Kei Fujiwara said with no expression on his face, "As the audience base for the September 9th time period becomes larger and larger, other commercial stations will gradually lose their audience during this time period.

, other commercial channels will definitely take action by then...but they are more keen than I expected."

The first thing that comes up is Hidaka Junna's trump card... Do you want to kill yourself in the novice village?

"This is the information you asked me to compile before." Mizuhara Yui handed two pieces of paper to Fujiwara Kei. On the paper were the ratings reports of all Hidaka Junna's works.

Kei Fujiwara received the report. Atsushi Hidaka began his formal directing career more than ten years ago, with almost one film a year.

Since 1985, the average ratings of his TV series have never been lower than 20%, and he has also achieved the highest ratings of 37.8%... Almost all the dramas at the same time as him have lost their armor, and even if they win, they will be miserably defeated.

For example, Fukuyama TV launched a drama in 1989, which was broadcast at the same time as Hidaka Junmei. The ratings were only a few tenths of a percentage point higher than his, but the production cost was more than twice that of the other drama.

A miserable victory cannot be counted as a victory. Fukuyama TV has been interested in Hidaka Junmei for a long time, and even made the embarrassing thing of temporarily changing the schedule of Hidaka Junmei's drama after seeing it aired, withdrawing its high production and high expectations.

drama, putting a low-production bad drama in the same time slot as Hidaka Junna and waiting for death.

If the drama at the same time as Junmei Hidaka had achieved good ratings, it would have been considered a survival under this ever-victorious general, and the creator of this drama would have become famous in one fell swoop.

It's a pity that scenes like showing off and being slapped in the face don't always happen, and that drama lost miserably. Although Fukuyamadai lost face, it also avoided high losses.

"It's really a tough battle..." Kei Fujiwara sighed.

"Hidaka Junaki is a formidable opponent..." Mizuhara Yui said, "But Fujiwara, you are actually just as formidable as Hidaka right now."

"Huh?" Kei Fujiwara glanced at Yui Mizuhara.

"The programs on other commercial stations at the same time have been replaced by low-cost small productions. Half of them are afraid of Hidaka Junna, and the other half are also afraid of you Fujiwara."

"The battle between the dark horse and the evergreen tree." Kei Fujiwara laughed out loud as he thought of the title in the newspaper, and gradually stopped smiling: "I must realize the [Moon Nine] plan, not only for Fukuyamadai, but also for the sake of the

Leave a commendable mark on your resume. No matter what kind of tree it is, just step over it."

"By the way." Kei Fujiwara suddenly put down the ratings report and said, "I plan to postpone the broadcast of "Homeless Children" for half a month."

Mizuhara Yui was startled, "Why is this?" Could it be that he is afraid of fighting?

"I plan to polish "Homeless Child" more carefully. In addition, I want to inform Shibasaki that "Furuhata Jinsaburo" should not be shut down in a hurry. It will shoot two more episodes and postpone the broadcast. I will give him the new script tomorrow."

Anyway, "Furuhata Shinsaburo" is a unit drama, and the story of each episode is an independent chapter. It doesn't matter even if it is delayed to grandma's house.

Moreover, now that the nine-month period has been contracted by him, there is no need to inform others.

"Enbo..." Mizuhara Yui looked at Fujiwara Kei with a faint smile on his face. She seemed to see some ill intentions in this smile, but she didn't know what kind of medicine he was selling in his gourd.
