Life in Tokyo starting as a child star

How many full-time housewives are there in Japan?

The Nihon Keizai Shimbun has made statistics that full-time housewives account for 20% of all Japanese families.

That is to say, one out of every five households in Japan is a full-time housewife.

This number is undoubtedly considerable.

Riding on this wave, "Her and Him" ​​became popular overnight in the circle of full-time housewives in Japan, and was considered a "must-see drama for housewives" and a must-see.

Now other TV stations are panicking.

Originally, no one cared much about the TV series "Her and Him", thinking that even if Kita Sumire participated in the show, it was doomed to fail to save this kind of TV series.

Who would care about its slight increase?

But now it is not a "slight increase".

The average ratings are 7.14%, and it is still growing.

It can definitely make it into the top ten of the hot list of the season and compete with them.

The main thing is, who would have thought of this?

In normal times, who would watch this kind of TV series with a low budget of 7 million yen per episode and a particularly rubbish time slot?

It just so happened that this young man, who had a poor foundation and was born to be a martial arts loser and was looked down upon by everyone, inexplicably opened up his Ren and Du meridians one day, and ran with a knife to the group of "peerless masters" who easily earned 10 million, 20 million, 30 million or 40 million per episode, staring at them covetously.

This sense of contrast is unacceptable to anyone.

If a prime time was "chopped to death" by such a garbage time and low-cost TV series, it would be really unlucky - it would be a humiliation that would be engraved on the body and could never be washed away for a lifetime.

In fact, some people have already been unlucky, namely Tokyo TV's noon drama "Obstetrics, Forensics" and Fuji TV's morning drama "To You in the Distance".

These two brothers in distress have always been hovering at the bottom of the hot list, and they are a little shaky.

The two TV stations have just invested a sum of publicity funds.

But there are unexpected changes in the world.

The sudden rise of "She and Him", with a 3% surge in ratings, directly chopped them to the ground.

The two producers responsible for the two programs were confused.

No, what the hell? It came to my head with a whoosh?

The two of them were at the bottom of the hot list, you looked at me, I looked at you, with confused faces, and had no awareness of being suddenly chopped off by the dragon-slaying sword.

The remaining TV series on the hot list are now in danger, fearing that this "madman" who has begun to kill red-eyed will target their butts - a real madman.

After all, "She and Him" ​​is just a low-cost TV series, and the main theme is that a barefoot is not afraid of wearing shoes. Killing one is one, and it doesn't matter if you don't kill it. Anyway, the current ratings are enough to make Sakura TV laugh out loud.

But they are different.

Because of the large investment, the prime-time TV series of each quarter have ratings share and ratings ranking requirements.

If they are killed by "She and Him", they will be unlucky.

I'm afraid I have to bow and apologize to the executive committee in various ways at the weekly morning meeting.

But the problem is that the housewives' enthusiasm for "She and Him" ​​has already started.

And because "She and Him" ​​has no competitors in the same time period.

No one from major TV stations is willing to spend money in this garbage time period.

Some are just bad dramas of the same low-cost TV series and countless TV commercials and promotional advertisements.

In this case, "She and Him" ​​is a disguised monopoly of all viewers in this time period.

In addition, the Noguchi Okashi shooting team of "She and Him" ​​has good shooting skills, and the two rebels called by Kita Sumimi and Hosokawa Shibaizumi are combined to form a dream team.

It's not an exaggeration to say that it is a dimensionality reduction attack on low-cost TV series in the same time period.

Just like that.

The reputation accumulated in the first four episodes officially broke out at the beginning of the fifth episode.

The average ratings have been rising all the way.

In the surprised eyes of all people in the industry, it officially reached the 8.5% mark.

Although the growth rate has slowed down, it is quite remarkable to occupy 8.5% of the ratings in such a garbage time slot.

Almost incidentally, "She and Him" ​​also knocked the morning dramas of Nichijo TV and Sakura TV off the hot list.

There was not much response from Nichijo TV. Obviously, the producers had anticipated this situation and prepared themselves early, so they were not surprised.

But Sakura TV was different.

The producer of the morning drama looked at the latest ratings report and almost spit out blood.

What the hell? I was "squeezed" out by our show?

And it was a garbage TV series used to make up the time?

Are you kidding?

As a colleague of Sakura TV, he certainly wants to see his own show rise steadily, achieve good results, and live a good life.

But are you living too well?

I'm still squeezing into the bus, and you're driving a Land Rover?

His face flushed, and he couldn't hold it anymore.

But what made him even more nervous was what happened next.

Perhaps Sakura TV has discovered the fierce growth of "Her and Him", and with the consent of the executive committee and the production bureau, "Her and Him" ​​will be moved to the morning slot in the near future, and he, who was originally in charge of the morning slot, has been stuffed into the garbage time slot of "Her and Him".

After learning about the program adjustment decision made by the upper management, all the staff at Sakura TV were stunned.

In Japan, it is quite common for TV stations to make program adjustments. TV stations will adjust the program schedule according to audience needs and ratings.

Your program time slot is very good, but you have not yet produced satisfactory ratings?

Sorry, if you can't do it, don't occupy the toilet without shitting, and find someone else to do it.

For example, the very famous animation "Detective Conan" was moved to a better time slot after the program adjustment because of its good ratings.

But like this, moving from the garbage time slot of the morning slot to the morning slot is quite rare even in the history of Sakura TV.

After all, it is quite difficult to climb out of the mud pit.

And the key is that the treatment of the programs that have been downgraded will also decrease, and the budget will be greatly reduced.

This time, the producer in charge of the morning show of Sakura TV really couldn't hold it anymore and protested to the executive committee and the production bureau.

Their ratings are obviously quite good, with an average rating of 7.91%, which is also average among the five major TV stations. Why do they have to adjust the program here?

This is unfair! There must be something shady behind it! I have been in charge of morning dramas for three or four years! No merit or demerit! You can't do this to me!

However, in the face of his protest, the top management of Sakura TV certainly ignored it.

The colleague next to him who was on good terms with him also chose to turn a deaf ear to it at this moment.

After all, the competition in the TV station is fierce.

When someone rises, naturally someone will be unlucky.

This is a very common thing in the TV industry.

Compared with this unlucky guy who was adjusted.

On the other side, the filming crew of "She and Him" ​​was full of joy, and there was a feeling of celebrating the early years in advance.

As marginalized people who have been ignored by Sakura TV for a long time, they felt the feeling of being "valued" for the first time from this program adjustment.

Producer Sato, who is responsible for "She and Her", is even more delighted.

After the program was adjusted, the original budget of 7 million yen per episode was directly increased to the current 12 million yen!

After entering the industry for so long, this is the first time he has received such a sufficient budget from the production department.

Producer Sato is very happy.

As the director of "She and Him", Noguchi Okashi is smiling so hard that he can't even close his mouth.

The adjustment of the program has also raised his status within the TV station.

When walking on the street, people take the initiative to come forward and greet him with a smile.

But Noguchi Okashi knows it in his heart.

Whether these people will continue to greet with a smile in the future depends on the ratings of "She and Him".

And the ratings of "She and Him" ​​depend on.

"Kitasumi"

Muttering this name, Noguchi Okashi looked at Kitasumi who was performing in front of the camera in the field, and sighed in his heart.

He could only describe the performance of this actor in one word - perfect.

This is not only reflected in his skillful and natural acting skills.

It is also reflected in his face.

It is a face that is so beautiful that it makes people speechless.

If the most beautiful scenery that Noguchi Okashi has ever seen is the Spring Pond reflecting white clouds, then Kita Sumire's eyes are the fish swimming in the Spring Pond, which makes this middle-aged uncle feel amazed.

That peerless beauty is like a black hole, and some cameramen in the filming crew are sometimes easily mesmerized.

It is conceivable how lethal this face is to those housewives who have been single at home for a long time.

Some housewives even spontaneously set up offline support clubs for Kita Sumire, and the scale is not small.

Although the performances of several famous actors in the industry, such as Mikawa Nao, Shimada Makoto, and Hosokawa Shibaizumi, are also remarkable.

But compared with Kita Sumire, who has such appearance and acting skills,

their existence is undoubtedly dimmed a lot.

But it is undeniable that with the outstanding performance of these actors, "She and Him" ​​is complete as a whole - no matter how beautiful Kita Sumimi is, it is still quite difficult to rely on his one-man show to support the entire TV series.

But

"It's a bit strange."

Touching his chin, Noguchi Okashi looked at the venue strangely.

You know, with the abilities of Mikawa Nao, Shimada Makoto and Hosokawa Shibaizumi, the filming crew would have finished filming at this time.

But today is a little different.

Something seems to have gone wrong with Hosokawa Shibaizumi.

He called "click" several times in a row but didn't get the desired effect.

He was a little surprised, so he simply called Hosokawa Shibaizumi to him and couldn't help asking: "Shibaizumi-chan, are you feeling unwell? Why didn't you pass this shot after shooting several times?"

Hosokawa Shibaizumi has a cute appearance, solid acting skills, and never complains about being tired.

So Noguchi Okashi likes the little girl in front of him very much.

The voice that should have been questioning also slowed down a lot at this moment.

But Shibaizumi Hosokawa can no longer care about this.

She came to the "She and Him" ​​filming crew to help Kita Sumire.

When I got the script, I agreed without even reading it carefully.

Therefore

No one told me that there would be a kissing scene between me and the annoying guy in the script! ! !

The porcelain-like face was now full of blush.

At this moment, Hosokawa Shibaizumi just wanted to find a place to dig a hole and bury himself in it.

There is still one chapter——! Come on! Try to finish it before 12 o'clock!
