Tokyo Literary Godfather

Chapter 240 Missed the opportunity

The ratings of the fourth episode of "Hansawa Naoki" did not increase significantly, but it steadily maintained a ratings of more than 30%.

The ratings of the new episode of "My Ex-Husbands 2" increased, but not by much. The worst one was "Kyoto Lovers' Notes", which lost many viewers to other dramas in the same period and fell again. 2%.

Now it's only 17.5%.

In the 1990s, due to the increase in the number of TV viewers, during prime time periods, a ratings of 15% was considered a general pass, and a rating of 17.5% was actually not bad, especially since there were two extremely popular works in the same period. It stands to reason that the production If the team achieves this result, the senior management will not be too harsh.

But what worries the production team is... the ratings have dropped so much in the third episode. What if next week, the ratings drop again?

And although 17.5% is not low, compared with other programs in the same period, it is really not enough to watch. The ratings of "My Exes 2" in the same period were 26.2%, which was a lot higher than them.

Not to mention "Naoki Hansawa", the ratings for the fourth episode still remained above 30%, which was so strong that it made the executives of NBC and Fanxing Channel doubt their lives. You risked squeezing your main drama into the September 9th time slot just to lower your ratings, but in the end your ratings increased instead of falling. It’s like hell...

Hoshino Koya finished today's shooting and returned to his home by car.

After arriving home, he dragged his somewhat tired body and sat on the sofa, handing his entire upper body to the back of the sofa.

He is feeling a little irritable now. The ratings of the TV series he starred in have never met expectations and are still declining.

Thinking about the bold words he had made before the show started, Hoshino Koya couldn't help but feel a little hot. The joy of winning the Double Yolk Best Actor Award has been diluted a lot in more than a month.

In the past year, Hoshino Koya has been very high-spirited. Not only has he successfully transformed, his popularity has also skyrocketed, reaching a height never seen before.

As his career progressed, Hoshino Koya's mentality also changed and he became detached and confident. Also, the two consecutive dramas are considered to be popular dramas. Not to mention "Long Vacation", the ratings of "Gemini Detective" are also very good. If it weren't for the stupid screenwriter and the writing problems in the last few episodes, maybe it would have It can become a classic in drama history.

So he was very confident about "Kyoto Lover's Notes" at the beginning, thinking that with his popularity and acting skills as the guarantee of the show, the ratings of the show would definitely not be low. Of course he also knew that this drama was Fanxingtai and was used to cause trouble for Fukuyama Yuejiu, but he finally decided to star in this drama.

In fact, his attitude towards Kei Fujiwara is complicated. On the one hand, he is very grateful to Kei Fujiwara for letting him star in the drama "Long Vacation"; on the other hand, he is very tired of many people saying that Kei Fujiwara doesn't care much about him. Kindness in general.

Therefore, he has always wanted to prove that good works can be produced even without Fujiwara Kei, so when he knew that Fanxingtai was also filming a drama about Tsukiku and Fukuyama Tsukiku, it actually encouraged him to take the role in this drama.

Before the two dramas officially met, Hoshino Koya even imagined in his mind the scene in which the drama he starred in would defeat "Naoki Hansawa".

He wants to let the broadcasting industry know that without Fujiwara Kei, Hoshino Koya can produce hit dramas, and Fujiwara Kei doesn't always win! The importance of actors to a drama is no less than that of the main creators!

However, to this day, the original idea has completely come to nothing. Just over a month after the broadcast, the ratings of "Naoki Hansawa" are already unstoppable, while his "Kyoto Lover's Notes" has been pushed to the edge of danger.

He had never watched the drama "Naoki Hansawa" before, and even deliberately didn't watch it. However, today I finally couldn't hold back my curiosity. I borrowed the first few recorded episodes of "Hanzawa Naoki" from the crew, turned on the video recorder, and started watching it.

Throughout the night, Hoshino Koya watched four episodes in a row.

When Miyata Takaharu first appeared on the screen, he didn't even recognize him for a moment. After not seeing each other for many days, Miyata Takaharu's temperament seemed to have changed greatly. One look could make people feel the momentum, which made him ask himself: could he show such effect if he were himself?

Although he didn't want to admit it with his mouth, he gave himself a negative answer in his heart.

The performance seems simple, and it seems that everyone can stand in front of the camera and say a few lines, but in fact the audience can see the differences between different actors. He was familiar with Miyata Takaharu, who was very passionate about acting, and even often acted in plays that made no money at all, just to hone his acting skills.

Miyata Takaharu also persuaded Hoshino Koya to go to the stage to exercise more, but at the time he dismissed it at all, thinking that doing so was just a waste of time, whether it was to appear in TV series to increase his fame, or to shoot commercials to obtain endorsement fees. It's more valuable than wearing exaggerated costumes and shouting lines on stage.

However, looking at Hanzawa Naoki played by Miyata Takaharu, who was not inferior even among a group of veteran actors, Hoshino Koya's face suddenly became a little ugly. He suddenly realized that he seemed to be inadvertently being... Miyata Takara distanced himself.

This also made him feel a little twisted inside. He had always been a green leaf by his side before, but he didn't expect that he would perform so well after taking on the main role...

He seems to be an ambitious person, maybe he has been preparing for a starring role.

"That guy Miyata... you're so lucky..." Hoshino Koya murmured in a low voice. It's not just his luck that the first drama with a leading role can have such good ratings.

And this is only the fourth episode, and the ratings have already exceeded 30%. If this momentum continues...

Hoshino Koya suddenly had a hunch that maybe this drama could reach unprecedented ratings.

He quickly poured himself a glass of cold water to calm down, and said to himself: How can it be so easy? It is rare to make a film with historical ratings. The previous highest ratings of 39% of "Homeless Children" shocked the industry. It will be difficult to produce a work that surpasses this drama.

You must know that there are only two TV series with a ratings of more than 40% every ten years.

When Kei Fujiwara fell into overwhelming negative public opinion, Takayoshi Miyata spoke for Kei Fujiwara regardless of the expressions of TTV executives at the time. Of course, this act of speaking up and speaking out also cost him, but Kei Fujiwara asked him to be the protagonist of his own work. , maybe there is also a reason for this.

Hoshino Koya suddenly felt regretful. Maybe he should have said a few words to Fujiwara Kei in front of the media...

When he was the main protagonist of "Gemini Detective", even if he really said something, the top management of TTV would not do anything to him. They wouldn't kick him out of the crew in anger and kill the entire show, right?

But it's too late to say anything now, the opportunity has been missed...
