Tokyo Literary Godfather

"Homeless Children" had been filming for three days, but problems quickly ran into it.

For some reason, Tokyo has been hit by continuous heavy rain. It has been three days. The windows of the TV station are covered with Clear Sky Dolls, but it still seems to have no intention of stopping the rain. Many exterior shots could not be shot, so interior shots had to be shot in the studio first.

The studio in Tokyo's filming base is already tense, with dozens or hundreds of programs being filmed at the same time, including but not limited to variety shows, news, TV series, and even movies. Normally, a program team can only apply for one studio, but "Homeless Children" seems to have received permission from the station director to shoot in two studios at the same time.

This also made other employees in Taiwan complain, but they did not dare to express their dissatisfaction openly. Kashi Yoshida realized that the television industry had entered a golden period of development and felt the fierce competition, so he made a sign with the words "Ratings are everything" and hung it in the most conspicuous place in the corridor of the filming base.

Under the guidance of this central idea, no one dares to shout about unfairness. If you have the ability, you can also shoot a spring champion.

After today's pre-shooting was completed, Kei Fujiwara went to the post-production room to communicate with the editor, and he didn't have time to spare.

As soon as he had some free time, Kei Fujiwara sat in his office to take a rest. He turned around and looked at the green plants lined up on the window sill to relax his mind and body.

It’s still rainy in Tokyo for the fourth day.

Kei Fujiwara was in a pretty good mood. The sound of raindrops hitting the glass window seemed to relax him, and he even hummed a song subconsciously.

"Fujiwara, you seem to be in a good mood." Mizuhara Yui walked in, looked at Fujiwara Kei and smiled, "I was worried that you would be stressed, but I feel relieved that you are so relaxed."

Kei Fujiwara turned around and smiled: "There will always be pressure, just dispatch it."

Mizuhara Yui looked at the row of green plants on the windowsill and muttered: "Your method of dispatching pressure is... very environmentally friendly."

"Shall I give you a pot?"

"No, I can even grow cacti to death."

Yui Mizuhara held a cardboard box in his hand and put it on Kei Fujiwara's desk, and said, "The things sent by the operation department, and a cantaloupe, was given to you by the head of the operation department. Shibazaki and I also have a share." Son."

"Operations?"

Kei Fujiwara tilted his head. The operations department is mainly responsible for operating commercial resources, such as TV shopping and selling peripheral products.

The people in the operation department are very sensitive to business. After the "Long Vacation" became popular, these people contacted the publishing house to release a photobook, which were all behind-the-scenes photos of the leading actors, and there were some so-called interesting behind-the-scenes stories, but Most of it is made up.

Later, they even made a joint name with a children's electronic keyboard. It was said that Sena used this kind of electronic keyboard to practice when he was a child. I heard that it sold well.

After "Guhata Ren Saburo" was broadcast, although the ratings were not as good as "Long Holiday", it is strange that its peripheral products sold extremely well, far exceeding "Long Holiday".

The operation department also launched various co-branded products, such as the tie worn by Guhata, the pipe used by Guhata, the seaweed eaten by Guhata... and even the stockings worn by Guhata.

This is not a fabrication by the crazy guys in the operation department. In one episode, Guhata actually put the other party's stockings on his head in order to tease the prisoner. I don't know if this guy has his own little thoughts...

The sales of peripheral products of TV series are generally mediocre and not as good as those of ACG. However, the sales of the peripherals of "Furuhata Rensaburo" surprised the colleagues in the operation department. It seems that the annual target can be completed ahead of schedule, and there are still a lot of business bonuses to be won. In order to express my gratitude to Kei Fujiwara, this small gift gift.

Kei Fujiwara took a look at the carton. Sure enough, apart from the cantaloupe as a gift, the others were peripheral products of "Furuhata Rensaburo", such as seaweed, tobacco pipes, nuts, albums and stockings.

Kei Fujiwara smiled and moved the cardboard box under his desk.

Mizuhara Yui glanced down at the script spread out on the desk, sat on the sofa waiting for guests, and asked, "How is it, Fujiwara, are you still used to supervisory work?"

"It's okay." Fujiwara Kei nodded, "By the way, the broadcast time of "Gemini Detectives" has been determined, right?"

"Yes." Mizuhara Yui said, "It is broadcast at the same time as us. It is the strongest opponent among all the programs in the same period."

"There will always be such a day, but it will be earlier than I imagined." Kei Fujiwara showed no expression on his face, "As the audience base of the September 9 segment increases, the audience of other commercial stations will gradually lose during this time , other commercial stations will definitely take action by then...but they are more keen than I expected."

The first thing that comes up is Hidaka Junna's trump card... Do you want to kill yourself in the novice village?

"This is the information you asked me to compile before." Yui Mizuhara handed two pieces of paper to Kei Fujiwara. On the paper were the ratings reports of all Junna Hidaka's works.

Kei Fujiwara received the report. Atsushi Hidaka began his formal directing career more than ten years ago, with almost one film a year.

Since 1985, the average ratings of his TV dramas have not been lower than 20%, and he has achieved the highest ratings of 37.8%... Almost all the dramas in the same period as him have lost their armor, and even if they win, they will be miserable. For example, Fukuyama TV launched a drama in 1989, which was broadcast at the same time as Hidaka Junming. The ratings were only a few tenths of a percentage point higher than his, but the production cost was more than twice that of the other party.

Miserable victories cannot be counted as victories. For a long time, Fukuyama TV has had lingering fears about Junming Hidaka, and even made a shameful act of temporarily changing the schedule after seeing Junming Hidaka's drama, withdrawing a high-production and high-expectation drama, and putting a low-production The bad drama was placed in the same period as Hidaka Junna and is waiting to die.

If the drama at the same time as Hidaka Junming could get good ratings, it can be regarded as surviving under this ever-victorious general, and the main creator of this drama will become famous in one fell swoop.

It's a pity that scenes like showing off and being slapped in the face don't always happen, and that drama failed miserably. Although Fukuyamadai lost face, it also avoided high losses.

"It's really a tough battle..." Kei Fujiwara sighed.

"Hidaka Junaki is a terrible opponent..." Mizuhara Yui said, "But Fujiwara, you are actually as scary as Hidaka now."

"Huh?" Fujiwara Kei glanced at Mizuhara Yui.

"The programs of other commercial stations at the same time period have been replaced by low-cost small productions. Half of this is because I am afraid of Higashi Junna, and the other half is also afraid of you Fujiwara."

"The dispute between the dark horse and the evergreen tree." Kei Fujiwara laughed out loud, remembering the headline in the newspaper, and gradually restrained his smile again: "I must realize the [Month Ninth] plan, not only for Fukuyama Station, but also for the Leave a commendable mark on your resume. No matter what kind of tree it is, just step over it."

"That's right." Kei Fujiwara suddenly put down the ratings report and said, "I plan to postpone the release of "Homeless Children" for half a month."

Mizuhara Yui was startled, "Why is this?" Could it be that he was afraid of fighting?

"I plan to polish "Homeless Children" more finely. In addition, inform Shibazaki that "Furuhata Rensaburo" should not be in a hurry to shut down, and two more episodes will be filmed, and the broadcast will be postponed. I will give him the new script tomorrow."

Anyway, "Furuhata Shinsaburo" is a unit drama, and the story of each episode is an independent chapter. It doesn't matter even if it is delayed to grandma's house.

And now that the nine-month period is all taken care of by him, there is no need to inform others.

"Yanbo..." Mizuhara Yui looked at Kei Fujiwara with a faint smile on his face. She seemed to see some malicious intentions in this smile, but she didn't know what medicine he was selling in the gourd for a moment.
