Of course, after the first half of the TV series comes to an end, no matter what the audience's opinions are, it can no longer affect the next direction of the plot.
For a TV series, the ratings have steadily increased since it was broadcast, and the topic among the public has become more and more popular as the plot unfolds. There is no doubt that the first half of "Lovely Season" is a success. Part 1
The last episode of the first half of the series received the highest ratings for a single episode since its launch, and the performance of the second half is highly anticipated.
After the highest ratings for a single episode after the broadcast was released, a drama review titled "In the cute season, the Friday nights of the pink collars have changed..." appeared in a comprehensive magazine.
This article mentioned that after the broadcast of "Lovely Season", it received a lot of bad reviews from housewives, the main force in the ratings. Viewers who did not like it had strong opinions on the female Afei played by Akina Nakamori.
There are even housewives who regard this TV series as "a TV series they don't want their children to watch."
However, despite being disliked by some housewives, the ratings of this TV series not only did not fall into a slump, but also increased steadily after the broadcast, becoming the most watched TV series this quarter. The key lies in -
Got support from office girls...
The article writes that Friday night is originally a time for office workers to relax and have fun. However, a considerable number of viewers gave up their "Flower Friday" for this TV series and went home early to watch this TV series.
"At first, it may have been the appeal of starring Nakamori Akina-san, but the subsequent increase in ratings and topicality proved the charm of this extraordinary TV series..."
Office girls are willing to give up their Friday night entertainment activities for this TV series. Of course, there are also big players who go out again late at night and early in the morning to party all night after watching the TV series, but there is no doubt that during this period,
, because of this TV series, the first half of Friday night was greatly discounted.
The article also wrote about a phenomenon, "In order to compete with Nakamori Akina-san for female audiences, many stores have increased their discounts for female customers on Friday nights."
In a store, if there are fewer female customers, there will also be fewer male customers.
There is a saying that goes well, if something is free for you, then you have to think carefully about whether you are the one who is really being treated as a commodity. This is true for merchants' "free for ladies" and "free for children".
The pink-collar people have chosen to go home early to watch TV. This article once again conveys the charm of this TV series to readers. Readers who read the article either feel warm that they are watching this TV series, or they are not interested in it.
Curious.
But no matter which one it is, after the first half of the TV series ends, the second half that is about to begin is already highly anticipated, surrounded by topics from many aspects.
…
Comprehensive magazines have high sales and strong influence. Iwahashi Shinichi, who did not deliberately pay attention to the response to the TV series, just read a few fixed magazines according to his weekly routine, and saw an article like this in it.
The TV series has just finished airing. Although we cannot say that the ending will be perfect, the current results can already give everyone a sigh of relief for the TV station, production company, participating offices, and the leading actor Nakamori Akina, who has a heavy responsibility.
.
Or it should be said that at this moment, the pressure has been removed from the actors and placed on the producers.
The success of the first half proves the ability of this newly formed production team and the actors who participated in the show. If the ratings and reputation of the second half decline, it will be a problem with the script and production, not the actors.
However, Shinichi Iwahashi, who has read the entire script, is not worried that the second half of the plot will lose the audience. On the contrary, the two female screenwriters Mizuno Meikazu and Kitagawa Etsuko are more and more open-minded as they write.
, gradually getting better.
While Akina Nakamori received a lot of praise as an actor with this TV series, these two young screenwriters also suddenly became famous because of their participation in this TV series. As newcomers, they attracted the attention and expectations of the industry.
The TV series has sufficient ratings and topicality, and its theme song has also received high enough attention.
The theme song of "Lovely Season" uses Akina Nakamori's new single. For the TV series she stars in, she sings the theme song. This is not only a topic created for the public, but also a strategy of the agency and the record company.
With the popularity of the TV series, this new single was also released as scheduled. Once released, it immediately caught up with the popularity of the TV series and once again occupied the top spot in the singles chart. This Taopusida continues his "debut number one" single
Ranking records.
The TV series has high ratings, and the sales of the new single released have also ranked first. At the turn of spring and summer, Akina Nakamori, a name that has been famous for almost ten years, once again shines brightly and becomes a major topic nowadays.
GENZO is the production company that took the lead in producing "Lovely Season". Therefore, the publishing of Nakamori Akina's new single will continue to be handled by her company Warner Records, and the distribution part will be handed over to GENZO.
Although Iwahashi Shinichi has never been involved in TV dramas, he was responsible for the release of her new single - of course, this time the producer was not him, so a big fight in the recording studio was omitted.
The important theme song was left to Akina Nakamori to enjoy herself, while the episode in the TV series was given to Keiko Utoku. Halfway through the TV series, Akina Nakamori's new single was released, and Keiko Utoku's single was,
The release date is still three weeks later.
The broadcast of "Lovely Season" has passed halfway, and the production progress is nearing completion. What the production company needs to discuss now is what will be the next film to be produced.
Akina Nakamori has a new album to be released in the middle of the year, and a theme tour to match the new album. She has no time to star in a TV series for the first half of the year. After the spring show ends, if she continues to star, she will have to wait until winter.
The first step of the production company was for her, but after taking this step, everyone had to go their separate ways.
The next part - this is a matter for players like Mr. Nozaki and Watanabe Manyumi who aim to be in the TV industry. Iwahashi Shinichi is an amateur and does not mix with the experts. The only focus is on the theme song, episode and soundtrack of the next part.
Distribution copyright of the class.
The song "Let's Dance Together" allowed the industry to see the power of animation theme songs. The song "Sudden Love" also allowed the industry to experience the power of popular TV series theme songs.
Next, it’s time for everyone to try their best to compete for the “theme song”.
If we can give ourselves the opportunity to create a TIE-UP, GENZO, a small company, will be more sure to move forward.
…
At the turn of spring and summer, the biggest news in the industry is the death of Masanosuke Hayashi, the chairman of Yoshimoto Kogyo.
Yoshimoto, the home base of comedians, is known as the "TV station without a license." Both Kanto and Kansai rely on the artists of Yoshimoto Kogyo. Several major private TV stations also hold shares in Yoshimoto Kogyo. Hayashi Masanosuke has been at the helm of such a giant for nearly half a century.
, died at the age of ninety-two, and most of the industry had to mobilize for this old man.
Those who could attend the funeral ceremony were all well-known figures in the industry, and Shinichi Iwahashi was naturally present. Although he had never met Hayashi Masanosuke, he only knew about this big shot when he saw the photo of him wearing a black silk satin.
What does it look like.
After leaving his name on the guest list, giving a generous memorial gift, and hurrying through the formalities, Iwahashi Shinichi's work for this trip was all over.
This is how relationships come and go.
At the funeral ceremony of Hayashi Masanosuke, there were almost no people in the entertainment industry in front of the stage. Except for Yoshimoto Kogyo's own people, we could occasionally see a few singing or ballad singers, or elderly famous actors.
.
Shinichi Iwahashi finished the cutscene, came out of the hall, walked to the atrium, and stood for a while. From this angle, he could see the scene in the hall. The comedians who usually smiled playfully on TV were all wearing black at the moment.
The dress and solemn expression formed a rather miraculous contrast with the image on TV.
Yoshimoto Kogyo has branches in Tokyo and Osaka. In recent years, its business has continued to shift to Tokyo. More than half of the entire Yoshimoto production department has moved to Tokyo. Although it is an office that started in Osaka, it is now Tokyo.
The strength of the side is strong.
It is said that there are many factions within Yoshimoto Kogyo, and the relationship between the Kanto-gumi and Kansai-gumi is quite subtle.
The only interaction Shinichi Iwahashi had with Yoshimoto was when Shimada Shinsuke came to him and asked for cooperation. He didn’t have a deep understanding of this giant of comedy in the industry, and only some industry gossip he heard from hearsay flashed through his mind.
... Behind the scenes, people in black secretly compete with each other in gossip.
At today's funeral ceremony, the well-known comedians from the Kansai group did not appear. If you think about it for a moment, you will know that at the headquarters of Kansai Yoshimoto Kogyo, a more grand funeral ceremony than this will definitely be prepared.
In other words, now that the Kanto group has the upper hand, it is simply obvious that they can compete with each other through the death of the president.
With a sudden flash of his mind, Shin Iwahashi saw three women from the Watanabe family, all dressed in black, standing in front of the funeral, holding incense sticks. Hayashi Masanosuke, who was older than Misa Watanabe, also came to show her face.
Watanabe Manyumi came today as a member of the Watanabe family. The three women offered incense, and Watanabe Misa spoke to the person standing in front of the soul. The other person bowed his head deeply and thanked her.
After saying goodbye, the three women also walked out. Watanabe Manyumi was the first to notice Shinichi Iwahashi standing outside. She nodded to him, but turned away first and said something to her mother and sister.
When Iwahashi Shinichi saw them, he walked over first and greeted the mother and daughter.
"Misaki-san, Miki-san." Iwahashi Shinichi bowed to the two women and nodded slightly to Watanabe Wanyumi, "Wanyumi-san."
Misaki Watanabe was very polite and exchanged greetings with Shinichi Iwahashi. Miki Yoshida stood beside her mother without saying a word, but from time to time she would smile from the side because of her mother's conversation with him.
As the cooperative relationship between Shinichi Iwahashi and Watanabe Manyumi changed, and Watanabe Production Headquarters also began to participate in joint projects, Watanabe Misa and Yoshida Miki also had to abandon their previous way of getting along with Shinichi Iwahashi.
Nowadays, Misa Watanabe treats Shinichi Iwahashi with a certain degree of cordiality toward younger generations. However, cordiality is not affectionate. But on the other hand, this is Misa Watanabe's old-school demeanor.
Among the guests who came to attend the funeral ceremony, acquaintances greeted each other and spoke in restrained tones. Misa Watanabe was a senior and prestigious person in the industry, and when people from the TV station saw her, they also took the initiative to say hello.
Whether it is a wedding or a funeral, it is a social occasion for the guests.
Iwahashi Shinichi walked away a few steps, and after a while, Watanabe Manyumi followed, "Shinichi-kun is here too."
"In such an occasion, you have to take action personally." Iwahashi Shinichi laughed at himself, "There are always things that even President-san cannot take on."
For Hayashi Masanosuke's resignation ceremony, it was not enough for the current president of GENZO to come.
"After all, when it comes to GENZO, it's Iwahashi-san." There was a hint of joking sarcasm in Watanabe Wan Yumi's tone.
Iwahashi Shinichi smiled slightly and accepted these words with a little bit of innocuousness.
An older man wearing a formal dress and with half-bald hair came over. Watanabe Wanyumi greeted him, and without saying a word, introduced Shinichi Iwahashi to him. He turned out to be a managing director of Toei.
Iwahashi Shinichi exchanged business cards with the other party and found out that his surname was Mizuno.
After the greetings, Director Mizuno took a step away. Watanabe Mayumi and Iwahashi Shinichi stayed together for a while and greeted a few people they knew.
People from the entertainment industry were not the only people present today. In addition to the business community, there were also a few men who knew their origins at a glance who came to offer incense. After offering incense, they even stood in front of the memorial in a swaggering manner, facing the other people who came.
The mourners bowed their heads and saluted.
"Shinichi-kun, do you want to go back?" Watanabe Manyumi asked him.
Iwahashi Shinichi raised his wrist, looked at the time, and heard Watanabe Manyumi discussing with him, "If we go back, let's walk for a while together."
"Aren't you going to act together with Misao-san and Miki-san?" Iwahashi Shinichi asked.
Watanabe Manyumi replied, "I'm going back to the office right away... There will be a program for the funeral ceremony. My mother and sister represent Watanabe's production, so it's not good to take the first step."
"Program?" Iwahashi Shinichi heard this word from her mouth and felt a little strange.
When it comes to "programs", it always feels like Yoshimoto Kogyo's comedians are entertaining guests live.
However, since Watanabe Wanyumi said so, Iwahashi Shinichi went out with her. In the past, Iwahashi Shinichi would rub against Watanabe Wanyumi's car from time to time. Recently, he finally changed to Watanabe Wanyumi to rub against his car.
"He is indeed the 'Locust' of Yoshimoto Kogyo."
Sitting in the car, Shinichi Iwahashi finally couldn't help but sigh.
Watanabe Manyumi laughed at this sentence and replied, "I heard that Hayashi Masanosuke-san once said that he could command three hundred Yamaguchi-gumi members to serve him with just one order."
Today's spiritual resignation ceremony, a powerful figure from the extreme swaggered over, and it was because of Lin Zhengzhi's help that he could express these bold words to the outside world.
