My Entertainment Circle

On Mai Shiraishi's birthday, Zhang Pingan received a call from Konno, who helped contact the screenwriter he was looking for and recommended it. Zhang Ping'an went to meet the screenwriter and had a chat. He felt that it was pretty good. After signing the contract, the other party started preparing to adapt the comic. This does not require Zhang Pingan to provide any materials. He only needs to buy the comics currently on the market and study them.

In the coffee shop, Konno sat opposite Zhang Pingan. He smiled and said: "Now I have also contacted you, the screenwriter. Pingan-san, have you booked the role this time? Well, I don't want the important position of the protagonist. . I also know that no one in Nogizaka has the level of acting skills to play the lead role in a regular drama, so... do you think you can arrange some small roles? "

Zhang Ping'an nodded and agreed to the supporting role request without hesitation: "No problem. If there are roles suitable for them, I will definitely arrange them. As for the protagonist issue... I have already contacted them. And I thought of that person immediately after seeing this comic!”

"Who? The short-haired beauty... is Masami Nagasawa?"

Konno's choice is also very good. Nagasawa Masami has been appearing on the screen with short hair recently, so the short-haired heroine in the comics is also very consistent with Nagasawa Masami's standards.

And many people think that Masami Nagasawa's smile is very similar to Yui Aragaki's. As for Zhang Ping'an, I don't think they are alike, because they each have their own characteristics. However, it is undeniable that both of them have infectious smiles.

Zhang Pingan smiled and shook his head slightly and said: "The protagonist is not Nagasawa Masami, but... Gakki!"

Listening to Zhang Pingan's choice, Konno nodded and said: "They are both suitable. Whether it is Masami Nagasawa or Yui Aragaki, they are very suitable for this character in the comics. Personally, I am more attracted to Masami Nagasawa."

Zhang Ping'an smiled bitterly and shook his head: "Hahaha~~ That's why Masato Sakai let out the roar of his soul in the TV series "LEGAL. HIGH" filmed with Yui Aragaki, "I wish I were Masami Nagasawa."

Konno laughed: "That was deliberately funny by the screenwriter, right? But it also reflects Yui Aragaki's generosity. If anything, such lines are a bit... but she happily accepted such lines to be funny. "

Zhang Pingan nodded and said: "Because it is a TV series she stars in, it is funny to say this line in front of her. If Yui did not participate in the show, such a line would probably be criticized, right?"

"That's for sure. If Gakki doesn't appear, it would be a public mockery, and the meaning of saying it would be different."

"By the way, what about the beech board..."

Before Zhang Ping'an could say anything, Konno shook his head and said, "I don't know anything about the beech boards because I'm not in charge of that team. As you said when you chatted with me last time, we are This model of the group is good and can be copied. And the company also feels that Nogizaka cannot fill the market, so Keyaki Ban is here today. Do you want to go and check it out?”

Zhang Pingan shook his head and said: "Why should I go see them? They are all copying the Nogizaka model anyway. The establishment of the new group requires a transition period, and their future will gradually get better. But they will definitely not be able to surpass Nogizaka. . As the popular members of 'AKB' gradually begin to graduate, in the future idol market, I personally think that Nogizaka will definitely reach the level of the AKB members in their peak period, and 'Keyakiban 46' will also benefit from this."

Konno smiled and nodded and said: "Aidou, this career is actually not very long. Basically, it only lasts seven years. The rest depends on whether there are any members who can shoulder the heavy responsibility. Now AKB has a new generation. I don’t know about the origin of the name after she graduated.

"

Zhang Ping'an thought for a while and said: "She has just stood in the general election. It will be three or four years before she graduates. This general election can take her career to a higher level." ?”

Konno also laughed: "Why is Shihara still so popular after the news broke? In fact, the reason is very simple. If someone is willing to give it a push, everything will naturally go smoothly. As for those networks Those who say she has a high emotional intelligence and a strong sense of variety are nothing compared to someone pushing her behind her back!"

In fact, Konno also wanted to say that Shiraishi Mai's career is so smooth now, not because you were willing to stand behind her back then, and you were quite willing to spend a lot of money.

Of course, Rino Shihara's personal abilities are pretty good, and secondly, there is someone behind her who is willing to give her a push. And people like Shihara who are capable know how to seize the opportunity to make a comeback!

Zhang Ping'an smiled and nodded: "By the way, the photos I made for Mai Shiraishi last year sold very well. Why don't you plan to publish another volume for Mai this year?"

Last year, Mai Shiraishi's popularity skyrocketed after her photo was released. Subsequently, their group also released photo albums of several girls, but the sales... were not particularly satisfactory.

Konno said: "This proposal has been submitted, and it will be produced in September. This time we also plan to produce it overseas just like your original design. Well, it's just that Mai's portrait cannot be collaborated with you this time. ”

Zhang Pingan responded with a smile: "I understand. Besides, I don't need the money from the photo album. After I collected the production fee, didn't I give you all the rest?" After all, after Shiraishi Mai became famous, their company definitely wanted to make more money. Cooperation means sharing money, so they must be reluctant. "..." Zhang Pingan didn't ask for the share at the beginning, so Konno always felt that he owed Zhang Pingan a favor, which is why he never refused every time Zhang Pingan asked Konno for help. However, after several collaborations, the relationship between the two has become very harmonious. It is mainly because Zhang Pingan is an investor and producer who is easy to talk to. Although his entertainment career focuses on South Korea, Zhang Pingan's achievements are beyond reproach. Besides, rich people like Zhang Pingan may come to Japan to carry out entertainment activities one day, so the interaction between them is also laying the foundation for the future. Looking at the silent Konno, Zhang Pingan smiled and said, "Didn't I set up an entertainment company in Tokyo last time?"

Zhang Pingan did register an entertainment company in Japan, which was registered when he produced the photo album of Mai Shiraishi, because in Japan, the tax paid by individuals with large income is very high, and there are many tax exemptions when facing large income in the name of the company.

Konno looked at Zhang Pingan and said, "What's wrong?"

Zhang Pingan said, "Why don't you just come to my company and develop together? I'll let you be the representative of the Japanese branch. Isn't the TV station going to auction the "TV series" time at the end of the year? I..."

Zhang Pingan threw an olive branch to Konno, but Konno didn't accept it at all. He stopped and said, "I am very satisfied with my current job, so thank you for your kindness. If I want to change places in the future, please give me a chance, Mr. Pingan!"

He must be very satisfied with the current situation, because as long as the future development of "Nogizaka" is better, he will get more rights and resources in the company, and the degree of capital allocation. He, the general manager of the Nogizaka group, is even more comfortable than the representative! After all, the representative still has to worry about those things that don't make money, while he only needs to focus all his attention on the Nogizaka group.

Being rejected was also expected. After all, his company was just an empty shell after registration. Well, it's not an empty shell, because he now has a TV series that is about to be adapted.

Zhang Pingan continued to inquire: "Do TV stations in Japan start auctioning broadcast time at the end of the year?"

Zhang Pingan is not as clear about the process of Japanese TV stations as he is in Korea. So Konno gave Zhang Pingan a popular science: "Well, because of the "time" that has not been sold next year, the TV station must make plans early. So all TV stations in Japan start auctioning at the end of the year. At that time, I can help you find out the news. By the way, do you have any TV stations you are optimistic about? We are more familiar with Tokyo TV."

Because their "Nogizaka" variety show is sponsored and broadcasted by Tokyo TV, of course, the time period they purchased is the "midnight" time, which is also the cheapest time period. Generally, many TV stations broadcast some late-night programs during this time period.

Well, this late-night program is not a paid channel in the hotel room. It just relaxes the scale a little bit, such as the words used in language and the topics discussed.

Zhang Pingan thought for a while and said: "I personally prefer TBS or Asahi."

There are four large private TV stations in Japan, "Asahi", "TBS", "Fuji" and "Nihon". The only public channel is NHK.

The two TV stations mentioned by Zhang Pingan surprised Konno a little: "The auctions of these two TV stations are relatively expensive."

But he soon realized that Zhang Pingan was not short of money at all. In Korea, he produced at least one season of a program for nearly 1 billion yen (10 billion won). So if he chose a large TV station, even if they sold time at a higher price, the advertising time could also be sold at a higher price. If the ratings of the TV show were higher, the price of advertising time would have to double.

Zhang Pingan said with a smile: "It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter if it's a little more expensive. As long as the ratings are high, all the initial investment is worth it, and I believe in Yui Aragaki's appeal to viewers."

"Since you said so, what else can I say. Okay, then I'll let you know when the TV station here announces the auction time?"
