Tokyo Literary Godfather

A new episode of "Blue Life and Death Love" was aired, and the ratings of this episode saw a huge increase, an increase of nearly 5 percentage points.

As soon as the ratings report came out, the entire "Blue Life and Death" crew was extremely excited. Their work during this period finally paid off.

Originally, the ratings of this drama were not low, just average. "Blue Life and Death: An Autumn Story", like "The White Tower", is divided into two parts. Even if the ratings don't increase, the show won't worry about being cut in half midway.

But now with a 5 percentage point increase, the show has become stronger. And there is a faint tendency to become a hit drama. Of course, the premise is that the growth of nearly 5 percentage points will not fall back...

After Juri Okada got the ratings report for the first time, he was very excited and quickly reported it to Kei Fujiwara, which was a timely report of the work results to his boss.

Kei Fujiwara also nodded in satisfaction after seeing such a significant increase in ratings. But he didn't appear overly excited. He just asked his assistant to buy some afternoon tea for the crew of "Blue Life and Death" as a reward.

Kei Fujiwara's indifferent performance made Juri Okada feel a little disappointed for a moment. He originally thought that President Fujiwara's first reaction after seeing the ratings would be like her, jumping up from his chair with joy.

But Fujiwara Kei was as calm as a Buddha. After the loss, Okada Juri couldn't help but secretly admire him.

You know, when the ratings for the first episode of this TV series were not satisfactory, she was so anxious that she even blindly pushed the team members to work overtime to find problems. Her emotions seemed to be kidnapped by the ratings and could change drastically at any time.

Kei Fujiwara is completely different. Regardless of the ratings, he behaves very calmly. When the ratings were unsatisfactory, he didn't blame or question him, nor did he blindly change the rhythm of the script or the shooting method; now that the ratings have soared, he didn't show excessive excitement.

Perhaps this is the quality of a creator who can lead an era... If it were not for President Fujiwara, I might blindly increase my workload and change the rhythm of the plot. In that case, I might not have the current performance growth. .

Juri Okada couldn't help but sigh inwardly. Compared to President Fujiwara, it seems that his character is more cultivated...

Okada Juri left Kei Fujiwara's office with admiration in his heart. The moment the office door closed, Kei Fujiwara punched the air suddenly.

marvelous! It seems that the Korean dramas in his mind have great potential to be tapped in this world-leading Japan!

Fujiwara Kei looked at the ratings report in front of him and thought to himself.

"Blue Life and Death" has aired its tenth episode, and the first half has ended. The popularity accumulated in the previous episodes is reflected in this episode, and it is estimated that it has reached a certain threshold.

And in the ninth episode, there was a huge plot turning point. The heroine suffered from cancer, which gave the audience a little Japanese shock. So when it came to the tenth episode, there were more viewers squatting in front of the TV for the first time, wanting to see how the plot would develop.

Some people even have wild imaginations, wondering if Fujiwara Kei will take an unusual path. The reason why the TV series is divided into two parts is to write down the heroine in the first part and change the heroine in the second part?

Or the plot of the lower part is that there is another girl who looks exactly like the heroine in the upper part and continues to fall in love with the hero.

Others speculated that the actor who played the heroine offended the film crew and had to change roles, so the script was temporarily changed. It's not like this has never happened before.

In addition, not long ago, there was news that a female patient suffered from cancer and had to wait for death alone because the hospital she attended lacked hospice care. In the end, a group of enthusiastic college students sent her to her final destination. The plot of "Blue Life and Death" reminded people of this real-life example. The combination of the plot of the TV series and social news touched some emotions of the audience.

In magazines and newspapers, there are many drama review articles to popularize science to the audience. The two dramas "White Tower" and "Blue Life and Death" are both produced by the same production company, and the screenwriters are even more famous in the broadcast industry. The famous Kei Fujiwara. It made some viewers who did not pay much attention to the TV series producers have an impression of the name "Shuibo Production". At the same time, it also completed the diversion of the audience group of "White Tower" to the audience group of "Blue Life and Death" to a certain extent.

For various reasons, the ratings of the last episode of the first half of "Blue Life and Death" have increased sharply.

After the tenth episode is broadcast, the next one will not be broadcast immediately. Instead, there was a two-week gap.

In the next quarter, continue playing.

Juri Okada was a little anxious. It took a lot of effort to achieve such a high growth in ratings. What if in the next quarter, the accumulated audience group disappears? Or what if the audience's enthusiasm for watching the show drops after two weeks have passed? These are all variables! It's better to seamlessly connect the lower half directly.

But this is obviously impossible. After all, Fanxing TV, the broadcasting platform, is not a subsidiary of Shuibo Productions, so it is inconvenient to make temporary changes to their program schedule.

A season is almost twelve episodes in length, and each half of "Blue Life and Death" only has ten episodes. After the broadcast, there will be two additional episodes or other temporary programs as usual. If the connection is seamless, there will be four full episodes of blank time after the second half is finished.

The ratings for the extra episodes in the transition stage are somewhat guaranteed, but once the show is finished, there will probably be few viewers who will support the extra episodes for four consecutive episodes, so Fanxing TV will not agree to it.

Juri Okada had no choice. Although he knew that it was useless to rush and should remain calm like Fujiwara Kei, the unity of knowledge and action has been a difficult problem since ancient times, and his mentality became a little anxious unconsciously... for fear that the ratings would drop in the second half.

But he didn't dare to do anything rashly and destroy the existing rhythm. So the day after the tenth episode was broadcast, Okada Juri took a car to Izumo Taisha Shrine alone, silently worshiped the Izumo Shrine, hoping to bless the ratings of "Blue Life and Death"...

…

After two surgeries, Toshimura Yada, a professor of medicine at Waseda Medical College, went home. The air in Tokyo today was a bit humid. On the way to get off work, he rubbed his hands and felt a little slippery and greasy. Looks like I need to find someone to come and remove mold from my house.

Walking on the road, listening to "Riding on the Back of a Silver Dragon" sung by street performers, he stopped and stood on the street and listened for a while. This is a song he likes very much. As a man of the Showa era, he likes this kind of libretto that promotes unyielding will.

The "Silver Dragon" [riding on the back of the Silver Dragon], the official statement seems to refer to the bicycles ridden by students, which shows the hard work of young people in pursuing their ideals in life. However, there is also a saying that the "Silver Dragon" Refers to the scalpel in the doctor's hand. This is also a theme song praising the spirit of doctors in saving lives and helping the wounded.

The reason is that this song was used as one of the promotional tracks for the recently hit "White Tower".

No matter what kind of meaning it is, Toshimura Yata likes this song from the bottom of his heart.

Yada Toshimura is a typical Showa man, a generation who is passionate, advocates strength, and believes in hard work. This song fits his temperament of the times, so he likes it very much.

Since entering the 1990s, there has been a trend of decadence that cannot be eliminated in Japanese society. He feels heartbroken and feels that the Japanese, especially young Japanese, should not be like this. Young people should listen to more songs like this to ignite their enthusiasm for facing life. The fighting spirit is the right thing.

He is a workaholic, and his daily leisure time is almost squeezed to zero. However, he also bought a Walkman and often listens to music to relax his mind. "Ride on the Back of the Silver Dragon" and "Song of Bamboo" are the songs he recently listened to. The two songs that won the most.

The street performers sang very emotionally. Yada Toshimura thought of his childhood education path and felt excited for a moment, so he took out a banknote from his pocket and planned to reward the performers. But as soon as he took it out, before handing it out, he suddenly felt that the denomination of this banknote was a bit large, and wanted to slip it back into his pocket quietly and exchange it for coins.

Unexpectedly, the artist had sharp eyesight and quick hands, took off his hat and handed it over, bowing to Toshimura Yata in thanks.

Yada Toshimura had no choice but to put the banknotes into the hat. I pulled on my coat with some heartache and walked home.

After returning home, he first watched the surgery video for a while, and then wrote a lesson plan for two days later.

After everything is done, it's not too late.

Normally, he would look for two foreign medical journals to read at this time, but today, he suddenly felt tired and didn't want to use his brain. At this time, he subconsciously looked at the video tapes on the bookshelf.

This is a video of the first few episodes of "The White Tower" borrowed by the management student. After borrowing it, he never had time to watch it. Seeing that it was not too late, Yada Toshimura stood up, took the video tape, and turned on the TV .

He wants to see what kind of medical drama can have such a big impact on society, even among medical students.

Thinking of this, he stuffed the video tape into the projector, and as a snowflake flashed across the TV screen, it started to play.
