Tokyo Literary Godfather

The average ratings of this episode of "The Lonely Gourmet" directly increased by 1.5 percentage points.

This is a very high increase, especially for a late-night drama.

You know, the overall ratings of many late-night dramas are only about 1.5%.

For most dramas, the highest-rated episodes of the entire drama are the first episode and the finale, but "The Lonely Gourmet" can continue to rise. This can only show that the audience stickiness of this show is extremely high. Not only will old viewers insist on watching it, but it will also continue to attract new viewers.

Moreover, the appearance of "The Lonely Gourmet" seems to serve as a good example for colleagues in late-night dramas: even if it is a late-night drama, it does not necessarily have to rely on adult-oriented content to attract audiences.

As long as you can figure out the audience's thoughts, even if the content of the show is just an ordinary-looking uncle having a meal, many people will watch it.

"Asahi Shimbun": "The Lonely Gourmet" tells us that TV is not only a carrier of pictures and sounds, but can even allow the audience to smell fragrance.

"Tokyo Daily News": The broadcasting industry seems to acquiesce that TV after 11:00 p.m. is not for children. The late-night programs of commercial stations headed by the five major broadcasting stations are always full of all kinds of muddy content. There are disheveled young women, murderers with axes who attack people everywhere, and various vulgar games. It seems that if the show is not filmed this way, the late night show will be ignored. The author used to think that late-night shows should be like this, until "The Lonely Gourmet" came along. It uses high-quality content and heart-warming writing to tell everyone that even an ordinary person's ordinary daily life is enough to touch people's hearts.

"Dahe News": What is touching is that the food shared in "The Lonely Gourmet" is not the kind of expensive food floating in the clouds that is out of reach for ordinary people. Rather, it is civilian delicacies that anyone can afford. This seems to be the intention of the main creators, and this seems to be the greatest respect for the audience.

"Nihon Sankei Shimbun": Kei Fujiwara is working hard again. "The Lonely Gourmet" is the masterpiece after "The Long Vacation". Moreover, the whole drama is full of spontaneity and ease. The audience doesn't have to exert any effort to watch it, and they film it easily. But it still received good ratings, and people have to admire Fujiwara Kei's talent. No matter what type of work, you can easily control it.

In addition, the performance of Mr. Nobu Satoshi Takagi, the first and only leading actor in this drama, is also very commendable. I heard that Mr. Takagi is also a real gourmet in reality, and he often hunts delicious food in various places. This character really complements him.

…

Every major newspaper has praised "The Lonely Gourmet", even newspapers owned by the newspaper groups behind some of its competitors.

Kei Fujiwara was a little surprised at first. Logically speaking, "The Lonely Gourmet" is still being broadcast, and newspapers as competitors should not help them take the initiative to advertise during the broadcast.

You know, when "La Vacation" was first aired, all major newspapers, except for the newspaper behind Fukuyamadai, praised the show, while other newspapers either kept silent or even made minor criticisms.

It wasn't until the end of "Long Vacation" that there were more reports about "Long Vacation" in the entertainment sections of other newspapers.

When it comes to "The Lonely Gourmet", they are more relaxed.

But after thinking about it, this is also consistent with common sense. Because "The Lonely Gourmet" is a late-night show after all, no matter how popular it is, its energy is still limited. So they didn't hesitate to praise him, and they were very generous even during the broadcast.

But if "The Lonely Gourmet" was a prime time show, I'm afraid it wouldn't be so generous.

Moreover, the newspaper group is the parent company of most TV stations. They are more related to the sales of newspapers than the ratings of TV programs. Seeing that "The Lonely Gourmet" is popular among young audiences, they are also willing to add more fuel to help their newspapers and periodicals sell better.

Fukuyama Channel's internal executives are also very satisfied with the performance of "The Lonely Gourmet". Since "Anthropology" was withdrawn from the late night slot and became a ten o'clock program, Fukuyama Channel's late night programs have not been able to compete.

Among the five major TV stations, Dongdao TV Station is the best in late-night programs. It has many program types and creative programs, so its late-night dramas have a lot of viewers. But there's nothing to be proud of. It's just like an actress who is serious about filming and no one sees her, but then goes out to film AV and is popular. Is this something to be proud of?

Dongdao TV Station is the weakest among the five major TV stations. The audience base is also the smallest. Even if World War III breaks out, other TV stations are broadcasting news in full swing. They will only show cartoons, because no one will watch serious news broadcasts, which is a waste of funds.

Therefore, their prime-time programs were also beaten hard by the other four major broadcasters, and they had no choice but to shine in the late-night program.

In addition to East Island Channel, several other major TV stations have also recently paid attention to late-night programs, because since the 1990s, the audience for late-night programs seems to have doubled.

what happened? Is it because I'm unemployed and can't sleep?

Therefore, major TV stations have also begun to allocate resources to late-night programs, but Fukuyama Channel's late-night slot has always been the most embarrassing among the five major TV stations. The emergence of "Anthropology" has slightly reversed the decline, and now "The Lonely Gourmet" has reaped another wave of ratings. Finally, Fukuyama Channel managed to get rid of its reputation as a late-night program basement.

But to put it this way, after the 1990s, the two most successful late-night programs on Fukuyama Channel were both produced by Kei Fujiwara...

Director Yoshida looked at the ratings report, thought for a while, and then took out Keina Fujiwara's plan for "creating a nine-month period" from the drawer and read it carefully.

At first, he just thought this was just a beautiful idea, but now he is increasingly convinced that Kei Fujiwara has the ability to realize this plan.

…

"First of all, congratulations to Mr. Sima Keita for his TV series receiving huge ratings."

"Secondly, I would like to ask Mr. Sima Keita, has he forgotten his true duties? Do you still remember that you are a mystery writer?"

"Although I think "Genius Detective Mitarashi Kiyoshi" is not a bad work, judging from its current performance, it is indeed not a good work, at most a mediocre work."

""White Night Journey" is so amazing. He has produced such a work in his debut. I believe that Sima Keita can be worthy of the name of genius. But a person who has only produced one genius work cannot be regarded as a real genius. If Other authors have produced mediocre works, and I can still find ways to find bright spots in mediocre words, but for Sima Keita, I only feel heartbroken."

"I admit that Sima Guitai is a very talented person, but his talents are too broad, which seems not good, because it will distract his energy."

"If Sima Keita still wants to climb higher on the tower of mystery literature, then he should concentrate on writing, give up work that has nothing to do with literature, and stay focused."

"It doesn't matter if he has no intention of becoming the greatest mystery novelist of this era. I hope he will give up the creation of mystery literature from now on and concentrate on producing TV programs, and also leave me with good memories of "White Night Journey"."

"No matter what, I don't want Sima Keita to continue to waste his talent. This is my sincere advice to him."

The famous book reviewer Chiba Shinichi published an eloquent article in a newspaper, expressing his views on Keita Sima's new work "Genius Detective Mitate Washike" and his dissatisfaction with Keita Sima himself, which immediately attracted the attention of the literary world.
