When the program started airing, because of the time slot, TV Asahi felt that it had reached its expectations at 13.7. For this reason, when faced with Shinichi Iwahashi’s risky plan to take the program to a higher level, the TV station producers
people felt hesitant.
However, when the program's ratings steadily increased and it became TV Asahi's super popular program in this production cycle, the TV station's mentality also changed.
There is a huge difference between 19 and 20. Once the ratings pass 20, the TV station’s requirements for program ratings will rise with the tide.
When the show first started, the production team didn't feel much pressure from the ratings. Instead, after the show's ratings increased, the pressure really started to fall on the producers present.
Miki Yoshida could imagine that after Begin won the championship, Band Heaven would face a ratings challenge. Of course, the production team who monitors this program at all times is also aware of this.
Whether Dentsu has raised expectations for this program or whether it is favored by advertisers and funding will roll in, these are all based on high ratings.
The increase in ratings is based on the content of the program.
Although they are given a sweet taste now, it is obvious that if they want to actually eat this piece of candy, it still depends on what happens next.
"So, we can't sit still and wait to rest on our laurels."
Everyone here, no matter where they are, will think so.
…
"First of all, it has been confirmed. Begin's debut will be followed up throughout the program."
The staff of TV Asahi explained the confirmed plans one by one, and then enriched the details with everyone present.
Whether it is a band that won and then was eliminated, a band that went to accept a new debut challenge such as Human Chair, or a band that got a pass to debut after passing the test, such as begin, the audience should be able to know their movements through subsequent programs.
This is the most basic. Although it is basic, it is also very important.
Bands that have come out of Band Heaven will not completely break away from Band Heaven as long as the program still exists. This is a manifestation of Band Heaven's influence. At the same time, it also invisibly increases the stickiness of the audience.
As long as the framework of the program remains unchanged, the audience will not refuse to watch the performances of other bands after falling in love with a certain band. As long as they watch, the audience can be retained while ensuring the quality of the program.
And for the band, it also has an additional way to promote themselves.
To be honest, from participating in competitions to being signed by a record company, and then making a mainstream debut, all of this is presented on TV, and the audience watching this can be regarded as completing a "cultivation" process.
Of course, before making progress, the top priority is to stabilize one's roots. No matter what new ideas are adopted, the existing rules and order of the program are the real foundation.
The house has been built, and the ideas I'm coming up with now are actually more like decoration.
The premise of refreshing the decoration is based on the fact that the load-bearing walls of the house have not been smashed during the decoration process.
Therefore, we must first maintain the quality of the program, and then use small ideas to stimulate the audience.
…
The period after the meeting can be regarded as a small social occasion.
When Shinichi Iwahashi walked out of the conference room, he was first stopped by Kazuo Hirai from CBS Sony. The two stood in the corridor and exchanged a few words, and by the way talked about the human chair.
According to the previous sales data, it is already certain that the Human Chair will sell over 10,000 copies. It only depends on how soon it will happen, and their debut is certain. Now, a total of twelve record companies have shown interest in them, and more than half of them are dedicated to
A small metal or rock record label.
Although it has no reputation or strength, for those who are obsessed with their own music style, such a small company is more attractive than a very famous company.
By the way, although CBS Sony was responsible for the release of the single, it did not participate in the fight for the chair in the world. In contrast, CBS Sony fought for Begin’s record contract.
Not only CBS and Sony are interested in Begin's record deal, but other record companies are also interested. The only thing that can be confirmed is Begin's management contract.
While Shinichi Iwahashi was talking to Kazuo Hirai, Wan Yumi Watanabe was also busy chatting with the representatives of amuse.
Begin's management contract, even before they won the championship, Amuse had some intention of winning. Now, Begin has won the championship, and Amuse has also shown the greatest sincerity in signing the contract.
Amuse is quite strong in music, which in itself makes Begin feel trustworthy. Coupled with the sincerity given by their representatives and the company's relatively free style, the management style advocated by Yokichi Ohri respects the autonomy of artists.
The most rural person in Okinawa is already flattered when he comes to Tokyo and will sign a contract with amuse soon.
After the management agreement is signed with amuse, the choice of record company depends on how amuse takes the lead. If the singer does not give the management agreement and recording agreement to one record company, then he must also consider the relationship between the agency and the record company.
compatibility, so as to avoid becoming a victim of the contract if the coordination between the two parties is not good.
Unlike the Human Chair, people at the record company can see clearly. The Human Chair may have a group of loyal supporters, but it is not as suitable for all ages as Begin.
…
After completing their small social interactions, Iwahashi Shinichi and Hirai Kazuo said goodbye, Watanabe Wanyumi and the representatives of amuse greeted each other, and then the two people walked together naturally.
"I didn't expect that the real ratings pressure would be here." Watanabe Manyumi said half-jokingly.
After hearing this, Shinichi Iwahashi laughed and said, "The pressure on ratings is much heavier than when the show first aired."
It is not difficult to go from 10 to 11, but it is life-threatening to go from 20 to 21.
It’s not difficult to maintain a stable 10, but you don’t know how much effort it takes to maintain a stable 20.
After the meeting, the joy shared in the morning was put into my heart, and then came a new challenge. Watanabe Manyumi mentioned another thing, "Kariyushi's side, U-Miz's talent scout came after the game.
Take action."
"Really?" When mentioning this matter, Iwahashi Shinyi put aside the ratings in advance.
It was his idea to sign Kariyushi, and now, naturally, he is particularly concerned about it.
"There is no official reply from the band yet, but from what I hear, I think we can sign it," Watanabe Manyumi said.
"Well."
Iwahashi Shinichi thought for a while and asked again in a confirming manner, "Begin has decided to sign amuse, right?"
"I just told the representative of Amuse about this," Watanabe Manyumi said, "When the next program starts, you should be able to hear Miyake-san announce it to the audience."
"If that's the case," Shinichi Iwahashi said with a serious expression, "the signing of Kariyushi will be done soon."
