Chapter 15 Reduction

As the meeting time gradually approached, the staff of TBS TV station came in with tea. They diligently served steaming tea to everyone present. Their words made people feel comfortable and their attitude was quite respectful.

There is nothing wrong with the attentive service.

As expected of TBS TV station in Tokyo, the level of the core bureau is different. The service details of this staff alone are far beyond the ordinary level. If it were replaced by a remote local TV station, the general problem may not occur, but in terms of details,

It is very difficult to do this carefully.

About two minutes later, the door of the conference room was suddenly opened, and the sound was very abrupt in the quiet environment. Everyone present subconsciously turned their heads and looked over, focusing on the person who entered the conference room. Only

I saw several entourages in neat suits, surrounding a solemn-looking middle-aged man who walked straight to the upper seat of the conference table, which is similar to the podium.

In an instant, everyone present stood up in unison, as if they had been uniformly trained. Everyone's movements were uniform, and they bowed their heads slightly towards the person who was walking towards the seat, with a gesture of paying attention, and bowed respectfully.

.

It wasn't until the other party returned the gift and sat down on their seats that everyone sat down one after another. Then everyone kept a serious expression without looking away, sitting upright like students who were about to take an important exam. The atmosphere in the conference room also became...

It became solemn, and a solemn atmosphere enveloped everyone present, so much so that they did not dare to take a breath.

"Hello everyone, I am Ichiro Asai, the head of TBS TV station..."

After glancing around at everyone present, Ichiro Asai kept a solemn look on his face and spoke in a heavy tone: "No more nonsense, let's get straight to the point."

Although the meeting had just begun, the attitude of Ichiro Asai, the head of the headquarters, really made the hearts of everyone present sink. An ominous premonition came to everyone's mind, and the originally solemn atmosphere became a bit depressing.

Get up.

At Ichiro Asai's signal, a middle-aged man wearing glasses stood up from the seat below him. He first nodded to everyone, then picked up the documents placed on the conference table, and

He read the contents of the document with a serious face, which was all about the statistics of TBS TV station last year and the first half of this year.

While he was reading the contents of the document and conveying the details of the information to everyone present, the other two younger ones also stood up, holding a thick stack of documents, and walked to both sides of the conference table. From beginning to end, they gave them in turn.

Distribution was carried out by representatives from every local television station present.

Obviously, the documents distributed are all the same. Although everyone does not know what they mean, they are all senior people in the industry after all, and they still have basic judgment skills. Various data statistics from the other party's mouth, combined with the various statistics on the conference table

From the information distributed, it is not difficult to judge that there must be a financial problem with TBS TV station.

"I'm sorry, everyone, due to the overall sluggish ratings last year, advertising revenue dropped sharply, leading to a fiscal deficit. There was not much improvement in the first half of this year..."

After the contents of the document were conveyed, Ichiro Asai confirmed everyone's guesses. He concluded: "So, after discussions at the meeting, the production budget of some dramas and variety shows will be reduced."

After a pause, facing everyone's scrutiny, Ichiro Asai said solemnly: "In addition, for better optimization and adjustment, the network's broadcast programs will be temporarily reduced accordingly."

As soon as he finished speaking, there was a slight commotion among everyone, and everyone stared at Ichiro Asai. They didn't care about the financial deficit of TBS TV station, because it had nothing to do with them. After all, they belonged to the local government.

The TV station has no direct binding relationship with the TBS TV station, which is the core bureau of the network.

But if the network broadcasts fewer programs, the impact will be huge. If Ichiro Asai's statement is true, then there will be fewer programs that local TV stations can broadcast, and this will directly lead to a reduction in advertising revenue and other income, which will damage

It’s up to the interests of local TV stations.

In particular, these reduced broadcast programs are often relatively well-produced dramas and variety shows. For local TV stations that lack production capabilities, their importance is unquestionable. If these broadcast programs are gone, what will be used to fill them?
Is it possible to imitate those independent broadcasters who have not joined the network and have been operating on a small scale, broadcasting TV shopping on TV every day? There is no way, they have not gotten to that level yet. If they had really reached that level, they would have quit the network long ago.

, who is willing to be bound by TBS TV station.

"Director Asai, on the Core Bureau side, should we reconsider..."

The person who stood up was Genichiro Miyagi, who stood out in the conference room where everyone was sitting. He questioned Ichiro Asai with a serious look on his face: "After all, most of us are in remote areas, so we must be different from our colleagues in urban areas.

No comparison."

According to the laws of Japan's domestic related industries, TV stations are all private broadcasting, which is the so-called private broadcasting, and their operations are basically responsible for their own profits and losses. Therefore, reducing the broadcast programs of the network will not have any impact on a small number of TV stations located in urban areas.

After all, they have relatively strong capital and a wide audience with a large population, so they can make up their own programs.

At most, it will only take a little more time. Besides, the network's broadcast programs will definitely not continue to decrease. When the core bureau's TBS TV station adjusts, it will definitely return to normal in the future.

But for local TV stations in remote areas, the impact is really big. They have neither the capital nor the production capabilities. Forcing them to fill in the gaps with self-made programs will often lead to some negative effects. The most intuitive one is the ratings.

decline and reduced advertising revenue.

Don't think that there is no competition among local TV stations located in remote areas. On the contrary, due to the harsh operating environment, in a sense, the competition among local TV stations is even more intense. For example, Ishikawa Prefecture, which has a population of just over one million, has at least

More than five TV stations compete.

Uh, I seem to have missed the NHK TV station. This TV station is a public media organization in Japan. Unlike other private TV stations, this TV station is a public broadcaster. In terms of status in the minds of the people, it is roughly equivalent to the domestic ccav.<

/p>

Private TV stations need to be responsible for their own profits and losses, but NHK TV station does not need to worry about this. Because according to the provisions of the broadcasting law, anyone who has a TV that can watch NHK channels must pay the corresponding viewing fee.

In other words, as long as you have a TV or a mobile phone at home, even if you don’t watch NHK channels, you still have to pay for them. This matter is totally irrelevant. In addition, NHK can also receive government funding. These factors mean that NHK does not rely on advertising as a source of income.

confidence.

You are too young and should not be so hasty to stand up. Even if you have other ideas, you should wait until the meeting is over before communicating privately.

Glancing at Genichiro Miyagi who stood up, Nakamura Tomimasa felt a little sorry for this young junior's recklessness. In such an occasion, it is undoubtedly inappropriate to rashly question Ichiro Asai, who is the head of the department. The best choice is,

It’s better to listen honestly and communicate in private later.

Standing up in such a hurry will not have any effect at all except making the head of Ichiro Asai look ugly and causing the other party to hold a grudge. In other words, Genichiro Miyagi is still relatively young and is not like the other people present.

, Du Laoshen kept sitting upright, as if he was not affected at all.

In fact, they are like mirrors in their hearts, and they all have the same doubts and thoughts as Miyagi Genichiro. But everyone has long experience in the workplace, and they are all human beings. It has become a matter of seeking advantages and avoiding disadvantages.

It is instinctive. No one is willing to do things like shooting first and benefiting others.

"Is he the representative of Toyama Prefecture's Tulip TV Station?"

Glancing at the seat card in front of Miyagi Genichiro, Asai Ichiro immediately knew the region the other party belonged to. He had a calm face, and his originally solemn expression became more majestic, and said word by word: "You are questioning

Is it a collective decision made by the core bureau?"

"Smi Marseille, I don't question the intentions of the core bureau..."

Asai Ichiro's words were like a flying mountain, pressing directly towards Miyagi Genichiro. Immediately, the young TV station representative felt tremendous mental pressure. In the extremely solemn atmosphere, he worked hard

Suppressing a little panic.

"Sorry, I was abrupt."

Gritting his teeth, he wanted to hold on a little longer, but feeling Ichiro Asai's serious scrutiny, Miyagi Genichiro finally retreated. He is indeed younger, but he is not stupid at all, and there is nothing wrong with being reckless.

It's big, but if you continue, it will be easy to offend people.

"Follow-up formal notices will be sent to your TV stations. If there are no other questions, let's adjourn the meeting."

Looking at the normal expressions of the people present, Asai Ichiro knew that they must have various thoughts in their hearts, but it was not important, as long as no one jumped out to sing the opposite. He breathed a sigh of relief and immediately announced the end of the meeting.

, and then added: "In the evening, a banquet has been arranged for everyone, please be sure to attend all representatives."

After saying that, Ichiro Asai stood up and left the conference table, and strode out of the conference room surrounded by his entourage. Immediately, the solemn atmosphere in the conference room also dissipated. The faces of the TV station representatives present relaxed and rang out from time to time.

There was a sound of relief. Obviously, everyone was not relaxed just now.

The quiet atmosphere was broken, noisy whispers came and went, and they sounded from time to time, just like a swarm of hard-working bees suddenly flew into the conference room, giving people a feeling of buzzing all over their ears.<

/p>

Soon, the social attributes of the people began to awaken, and they stood up one after another to exchange business cards with colleagues from different regions, and greeted each other warmly and politely. Although they may not be used in the future, but in this industry, there are many

It's always good to make some friends, just in case you need them.

Nakamura Tomimasa also exchanged a lot of business cards, but there was not much communication. Most of them just chatted casually and barely left a little impression on each other. On the other hand, Miyagi Genichiro, probably because he had been in the limelight, was a little bit affected.

It means welcome.
