Chapter 1: The Journalist's Approach
Tokyo TV and the baseball youth program team encountered a big problem.
Speaking of the Baseball Boy, at the beginning, it was just lukewarm, and the ratings were just that.
But the later, as they began to concentrate on broadcasting the competition, the attention the program received became more and more.
Especially the game between Seido High School Baseball Team and Pharmacist High School Baseball Team, Tokyo TV made great publicity.
The show became a hit, and its ratings even exceeded the professional baseball team's game that day.
Sponsors who were not very interested in this program also saw the potential of the program. Even if there were few episodes left in the program, they all came over happily and insisted on naming and sponsoring.
While Tokyo TV has earned a wave of viewership, it has also gained a lot of material gains.
However, in the next two semi-finals, the ratings dropped again.
In the case of not having so many sponsors, the TV stations are more acceptable to the rise and fall of viewership. But now they have collected money from sponsors, as the saying goes, "It's a slut to take advantage of people and a short-speaking person."
They had to consider it for the sponsors.
As for the broadcast of the two semi-finals, it is actually better than at the beginning of the show. However, compared with the previous episode, the data is at least half the difference.
In this case, the program team must of course do their best to recover the losses.
And now their chance is only the last final. They are not demanding, saying that the ratings of the final must exceed the previous match between Seodou and Pharmacist.
But at least, it must be similar to the ratings of that game. Otherwise, it would be a bit of a loss for the sponsor to pick up the money.
If it is in other major competitions, when it is the final, the two sides of the competition will be stalemates, ordinary Seido and the third-year high in the city.
No one needs to do anything like this.
The players from both teams are playing like the hot kiln themselves.
But this is the final of the Spring Competition. The two teams have no other goals except for competing for the championship that seems to be useless.
The number of places in the Kanto Conference was already won by the third senior high school in the spring Jiaziyuan.
The seed team's quota was already obtained when they reached the quarterfinals.
Considering that the next two teams will also meet at the Kanto Conference and Summer Competition.
It is really unnecessary for them to get a bayonet at this time and try their best.
Now that it is not beneficial to both of their teams, it is a huge disadvantage.
After all, at the Kanto Conference, other powerful teams in the East were eyeing them.
Going far away, they may also encounter...
Many of the staff of Tokyo TV station are high school baseball fans, and they know this situation very clearly.
Whenever the spring finals come, the participating teams are often the most slack.
If both sides are wealthy families, they have a great probability of sending substitutes to the battle directly.
Those people have watched such a scene countless times before. But when they watched it before, they never thought that it would affect themselves.
But now, this incident has indeed affected themselves.
The Seido High School Baseball Team and the City Senior High School Baseball Team are likely to play tacit understanding even if they give the TV station a face in the finals and send the main players to the court.
They may not show their true strength.
Standing in the interests of the team, there is certainly no problem with the two teams doing this.
However, from the standpoint of the TV station, considering the ratings and the interests of the sponsors, they cannot remain indifferent to this matter.
As the head of the baseball teenager program, Shinta is already worried about this matter.
He really doesn't know what to do?
He even thought about whether to increase the bonus to the champion.
But this proposal was quickly rejected by the TV station. Of course, there is no problem with increasing the bonus for this session. With Tokyo TV's wealth and prosperity, they can get the money.
It can even be said to be very relaxed.
But what about the future?
Will the spring competitions in the future be as popular as this one? Not to mention, they originally had a organizer. It is not appropriate for Tokyo TV to be so stubborn.
After this post was rejected, Shinta and his men came up with several more plans. But these plans were eventually overturned without exception.
There is a saying that goes, who can stop the young warrior from dying? They can't hear it.
Shinta's current feeling is completely the opposite.
Who can stop these two teams from playing tacitly in the finals? They can't hear either.
Who can wake up someone who is pretending to be asleep?
Just when Shinta lost his hair, his leader couldn't bear it anymore and took the initiative to take over the task.
"Have you interviewed two teams? There is no clang fire between them?"
"I went to the interview. The supervisors of both teams praised each other very politely, and were so humble that they almost lowered themselves into the soil."
"show me!"
After looking at the interview report, Shinta's boss, the middle-aged man with a big belly, looked at Shinta with regret.
"Shintianjun, I'm still too young. If you interview like this, only if you can have problems with the interview..."
"Minister, what do you mean?"
"You should do this..."
After hearing what his minister said, Shinta's eyes were filled with disbelief: "Is there no problem?"
Xintian, who had just entered the workplace, has everything else smoothly except for the trouble in front of him.
So much so that he thought the world had become better than before. But now, the boss who had always cared about him and took care of him had given him such an idea?
"First of all, this is our mission, your goal is to complete the mission. As long as you do not violate your conscience and do not touch the law, nothing else is not allowed?"
The reporter was originally a group of people who were not interested in watching the fun.
A reporter who doesn’t take the initiative to provoke trouble is already considered very conscientious.
Shinta nodded: "I understand, Minister."
After saying goodbye to his leader, Xintian took his men to interview the third-year high school in the city.
This time, he must rush.
The finals are tomorrow, and there is really not much time left for them.
If they did not reveal the huge information that made the audience's eyes shine before tomorrow morning.
Fans who know the default rules of the Tokyo Spring Tournament may lack interest in the finals of the Spring Tournament.
If you are not interested, you will naturally not watch TV on time, and you will not even click on the video in the future.
This will directly affect the ratings of the baseball boy program.
This is also something that Shinta cannot accept in any case.
