Tokyo Literary Godfather

Chapter 162 The low point of the premiere

At this moment, Inoue Morimata was nestling next to his mother and watching the TV series he starred in.

The mother picked up a handkerchief and looked at her daughter on the screen. She couldn't help but her eyes got hot and she wiped away tears.

"Morimata, you did a great job." Mom said.

"Mom, Mr. Fujiwara is very powerful. His previous dramas were very popular. After starring in this drama, the agent said that I will probably become famous and I can get a lot of endorsement and advertising fees." Inoue Mori added.

Mom lowered her head slightly: "Thank you for your hard work, Senmata, it's all because of mom..."

"You said something like this again, didn't we agree? Don't say that again." Inoue Mori looked a little angry again.

"Got it." Mom stroked Morisaka Inoue's head, "Maybe it's my father who has a spirit in heaven to bless him, and Morisaka has become a star."

Inoue Mori remained silent for a moment, and seemed to change the subject on purpose: "Mom, I heard Mr. Ishida seems to be interested in you."

Mr. Ishida is a small owner of a nearby fish shop. He is widowed and a middle-aged man with a small fortune.

Inoue Riho is only in her early thirties this year. She gave birth to Inoue Morimata at the age of nineteen. Because of her beauty, there are many middle-aged men pursuing her.

But most people are just pursuing casual love, but Mr. Ishida is the most sincere among the many suitors. Because he has been a widower for many years, he seems to be interested in starting a family with Riho Inoue.

"How did you find out?" Mom couldn't help but laugh out loud, and then suppressed her smile. "Mr. Ishida did express that meaning to me, but mom has already rejected him."

"Why refuse? Doesn't mom like Mr. Ishida?"

"Mr. Ishida is indeed a good man, but..." Mom sighed, "Mr. Ishida doesn't understand my situation, so it's not suitable. As for mom, Aimori is enough."

Inoue Sen lowered his head again, seeming to be thinking about something.

"Has Morimata been having a hard time filming recently?" Inoue Riho continued to ask, "Will the supervisor and screenwriter be very strict?"

Inoue Mori shook his head again: "Supervisor Kobayashi is a very kind person. Although Mr. Fujiwara is relatively strict, he is also very gentle to the young actors."

"Teacher Fujiwara is young and promising. He is a rare talent. You should ask him for advice more often."

"Okay..." Inoue Mori nodded again.

The next day, the ratings report appeared in the planning room. Mizuhara Yui saw the ratings performance of the first episode of "Homeless Children" last night and was speechless for a moment.

20.2%.

This is the worst first-run performance since Kei Fujiwara took over the prime time slot. It almost failed to pass second place. Of course, a large part of the reason for this is also due to the influence of "Gemini Detective".

However, the creative team was not surprised. Kei Fujiwara had vaccinated them several days in advance. The ratings for this premiere may not be ideal, so everyone in the creative team was mentally prepared.

In fact, this result is slightly higher than Kei Fujiwara's expectation, because this drama is in another world, and its ratings itself start low and go high, and the ratings chart is a gradually upward slope.

It is completely different from the ratings model of "Long Vacation".

The premiere ratings of the first episode of Parallel World's "Homeless Children" were only 17.1%, but they gradually rose later. The last episode achieved a rock-shattering result.

There was no problem with the quality of the work itself or the allocation of publicity resources. It was just better than the original work. Therefore, Fujiwara Kei was not worried. At the planning meeting, he only explained the arrangements for the subsequent shooting work and not much else. say what.

At the same time, at the production committee meeting, a group of high-level executives also looked at the ratings report.

"This time Taili Yuejiu's new drama seems to be not as strong as before."

After seeing the latest ratings report of "Homeless Children", the director of the production bureau, Jifeng Yamaguchi, said.

Other senior executives also echoed.

"Yeah yeah."

Kei Fujiwara's September 9th plan is now well known, and most of the high-level officials in Taiwan have seven-point doubts about this plan and three-point expectations.

If it is as envisioned by Fujiwara Kei, it will have its own trump card time slot, which means that Fukuyama Channel will be one step ahead of other commercial channels.

As the head of the station, Kashi Yoshida also gave Kei Fujiwara great trust, and even handed over the entire nine-month period to him. As the director of the production bureau, Yamaguchi Cifeng was more or less dissatisfied.

Because Kei Fujiwara is not an employee of the production bureau, but is affiliated with the production company, as the performance of the September 9th time period gets better and better, the production bureau's self-made programs cannot enter this time period, which makes Yamaguchi Tsutomo a little anxious.

Yamaguchi Tsutoyo was a producer, and as an old man in the broadcasting industry, he also had a very sharp vision. He realized that Fujiwara Kei's moon nine plan was not illusory. In fact, it was very possible to realize it, as long as there were continuous good projects. The work can be used as support.

No one can guarantee that every work will be a hit, but it seems that Kei Fujiwara can...

The Ninth Moon Plan might really come true...but in this case, wouldn't the credit all go to Shuibo's production? Therefore, during this period of time, Yamaguchi Jifeng has always wanted to break Kei Fujiwara's hold on the September 9th time slot, and let the programs of the production bureau also participate in the monthly 9th time slot.

But he had been embarrassed to speak before, because Yoshida Kashi said, "Can you guarantee that the production company's new drama can reach the heights of "Long Vacation" and "Furuhata"?" He was speechless, but "Homeless" The first broadcast ratings of "The Child" made him see an opportunity.

Although it is a bit difficult to achieve the terrible 30% ratings of "Long Vacation", our production office is fully confident that it can achieve around 20%!

If Kei Fujiwara's level is only 20%, then there seems to be no need to make Yue Jiu his only thing...

Of course Yoshida Kashi knew what Yamaguchi Tsutoyo meant, but he had a kind of trust in Fujiwara Kei.

This belief is not entirely derived from Kei Fujiwara’s historical achievements, but more from his observations.

After the ratings for the premiere of "Homeless Children" were released, Yoshida Kashi originally thought that the atmosphere on the set would become tense. This result is not bad, but compared with the historical performance of Kei Fujiwara's team, it seems to be a lot worse. It is like a provincial champion who has only been admitted to an ordinary key university and still feels disappointed.

In addition, the opponent this time is Junaki Hidaka, a well-known bulldozer in the broadcast industry, so the atmosphere should be very depressing.

So he went to the filming base in person, intending to express his condolences, but found that the crew of "Homeless Children" was not as low-pressure as he imagined.

The creative team does not treat the working team members like other crews. Once the performance drops, they will press hard and vent their anxieties to their subordinates. Every member of the cast seems to maintain a good attitude, and they also have a transcendent confidence in the future of the show:

The ratings of "Homeless Children" will definitely rise step by step!

This is not only a slogan used by the main creators to motivate people, but even an ordinary director's assistant in the crew seems to think so.

Morale was so high... Yoshida Kashi was surprised by this, and at the same time, this atmosphere of confidence also affected him.

"This is just the ratings for the first broadcast. It is normal to start low and go high." Yoshida Kashi said at the meeting.

"Of course, we believe in Fujiwara-san's ability." Yamaguchi Citoyo laughed and added again, "But Fujiwara-san is still too young after all. No matter how talented he is, he may not be able to make every show a hit. He alone may not be able to support the entire 9th period of the month."

"So, maybe letting the outstanding talents of the production bureau take charge of this time period can achieve better results? It can also alleviate the pressure on Fujiwara-san."

Yoshida Kaishi was silent for a moment and did not agree, but he also did not refuse directly. Yamaguchi Tsutoyo's statement also made some sense.

He lowered his head and glanced at Yue Jiu's ratings report again, raised his head and said, "Let's discuss this matter later, and wait for the follow-up ratings of the drama "Homeless Children"."

has hope! Yamaguchi Tsutoyo's eyes lit up.
