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, 'I wish I were Masami Nagasawa' in the TV series "H" filmed with Yui Aragaki."

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 after she graduated.”

Zhang Ping'an thought for a while and said: "She has now stood at the top of the general election.

It will be three or four years before she graduates. Will this general election take her career to the next 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 wants 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 Ushihara's personal abilities are pretty good, and secondly, there is someone behind her who is willing to give her a push. Moreover, people with some ability like Shihara know how to seize the opportunity to make a comeback!

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

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

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 Ping'an responded with a smile: "I understand. Besides, I don't miss the money I earned from the photo album. After I recovered the production fee, didn't I give you all the rest?"

After all, after Mai Shiraishi became famous, their company definitely wanted to make more money. Cooperation requires sharing money, so they must be reluctant.

"..."

It was because Zhang Pingan didn't ask for the subsequent shares, so Konno always felt that he owed Zhang Pingan. This is why every time Zhang Pingan asked Konye for help, he never refused. However, after several cooperations, the two got along very harmoniously. Mainly because Zhang Pingan is an easy-to-talk investor and producer.

Although the focus of his entertainment career is in South Korea, Zhang Pingan's achievements are understandable. Besides, rich people like Zhang Pingan may one day come to Japan to carry out entertainment activities, so the interaction between them also lays the foundation for the future.

Looking at the silent Konno, Zhang Ping'an smiled and said: "Didn't I establish an entertainment company in Tokyo last time?"

Zhang Ping'an did register an entertainment company in Japan. He registered it when he was producing Shiraishi Mai's photo album. Because in Japan, individuals pay very high taxes on their large incomes, but in the name of a company, they face large amounts of tax. There are many tax exemption policies when earning income.

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

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

Zhang Ping'an offered an olive branch to Konye, ​​but Konno didn't accept the move at all. He stopped and said, "I'm very satisfied with my current job, so thank you for your kindness. If I want to change places in the future, please Give Ping An a chance!”

He must be very satisfied with the current situation, because as long as "Nogizaka" develops better in the future, the greater the rights and resources he will obtain in the company, as well as the degree of capital allocation. He, the general manager of the group, is even more comfortable than the representative! After all, the representative still has to worry about things that are not profitable, and he only needs to put all his thoughts on Naituan.

Being rejected is also expected. After all, this company of mine is just an empty shell after registration. Well, it is not an empty shell, because now I have a TV series that is about to be adapted.

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

Regarding the process on Japanese TV stations, Zhang Pingan is not as knowledgeable as South Korea. So Konno gave Zhang Pingan a popular science: "Well, because of the unsold 'time' in the coming year, TV stations have to make early plans internally. So all TV stations in Japan start auctioning at the end of the year. By then , I can help you find out the news. By the way, do you have a good TV station? We are familiar with Tokyo TV. "

Because their "Nogizaka" variety show is broadcast under the title of TV Tokyo, of course the time slot they purchased is "zero o'clock", which is also the cheapest time slot. Generally during this time period, many TV stations are broadcasting late-night programs.

Well, this late-night show isn't a premium channel in your hotel room. It just relaxes the scale appropriately, such as the wording of 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 Nippon. The only public channel is.

The two TV stations mentioned by Zhang Pingan made Konno slightly surprised: "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, the production cost of one of his programs for at least one season was close to one billion yen. So if you choose a large TV station, even if the time they sell is more expensive, the advertising time is relatively expensive. The time can also be sold at an affordable price. If the ratings were higher during the TV broadcast, the price of advertising time would have doubled.

Zhang Ping'an said with a smile: "It doesn't matter, just be more expensive. As long as the ratings are high, all the initial investment will be worthwhile, and I believe in Yui Aragaki's ratings appeal."

"You've said so, what else can I say. Okay, I'll let you know when the TV station auction time comes out?"
