These are all things that production companies and offices in the entertainment industry must pay attention to.
What's more, it's such a big deal as buying a TV series.
Many presidents have told their people, "Che, I want to know everything behind this show!"
Within two days, the production company found out that the production company of "Amazing World Stories", Shuyou Pictures, was just a newly established company.
What's important is that behind the scenes, Otomo Yoshimura, a little-known agent, is actually the president of the company.
After further investigation, it turned out that it was from a small firm in the Burning Department. After further investigation, it turned out that the resources of the TV station were also provided by the Burning Firm.
It’s true, this drama turned out to be under the Burning series... Then forget it, it’s okay...
Inexplicably, Naoki Nagayama and his team were under the banner of Burning, avoiding the evil hands of other production companies and agencies in the industry.
The director is Shuichi Itou, the man who shot the Sakura commercials that are praised by the industry. Well, it does have something to it.
As for the producer Naoki Nagayama, he is a low-level artist and must be a puppet on the surface.
From the perspective of production companies and offices in the entertainment industry, artists are just their commodities and their status is actually very low.
Of course, it's different for those who are extremely famous and have high qualifications. They are money trees and gods of wealth.
...
However, Naoki Nagayama also knows the tone of production companies and offices like RB.
Once they understand the format of this short drama, they may immediately shoot a similar short drama, and then directly squeeze out "Wonderful Stories of the World" through their deep relationship.
Even because the short drama itself is so simple and easy to do, even the TV station itself can pick the peach directly.
In the memory of the previous life, "Wonderful Stories of the World" was a program planned by the TV station itself, so that it could resist the evil hands of other capitals in the entertainment industry.
At the celebration banquet for the successful signing of the contract, Naoki Nagayama also explained the relevant situation to Otomo Yoshimura and Shuichi Itou.
"Shuichi-san, Otomo-san, this time "Wonderful Story of the World" is considered a success, but danger is coming!"
Just as they were talking happily, Yoshimura Otomo and Itou Shuichi were a little confused: "What? Danger? Where is the danger?"
"You haven't forgotten the Wild Cats, have you?" Naoki Nagayama mentioned before, "When we get results, someone will come over to pick peaches."
"Naoki-san is referring to those big production companies?" Itou Shuichi was a little surprised, "Are they still coveting this little money?"
"Shuichi-san, what they want is not this remuneration." Naoki Nagayama sighed, "Human attention is limited, the broadcast time of TV stations is limited, and the profits of the entertainment industry are also limited.
What they want is that no outsider can share this."
"them?"
"All the vested interests, the big production companies, the offices, even the TV stations themselves."
Yoshimura Otomo fell silent. His hard work was taken away. Will this happen again?
"Is there no way? Naoki-san, you are a genius!" This uncle could only place his hope on the genius in his heart.
"What can be done about this? The law of the world is that the weak eat the strong.
"Wonderful Stories of the World" is too simple. Without connections and background, we are destined to be unable to keep this fruit for a long time."
Itou Shuichi remembered before: "But the program "World Wonder Story" belongs to us! Naoki-san, the copyright is with us!"
"It's useless. The worst I can do is change the name, Wonderful World, Amazing World Story... there is always a way."
Nagayama Naoki could see it so clearly because he didn't take this program very seriously, and it's not like these two couldn't see it, but caring about it would be confusing.
"Shuichi-san, Otomo-san, the reason why I broke your expectations at such a happy time is because I don't want you to put too much effort into this program. If you regard this program as a necessary stepping stone, then it will be easy to deal with.
"
"Stepping stone?"
"Hey, although it's a bit cold-blooded, it's just like the Wildcats, it's a stepping stone for us to move to the next stage."
Nagayama Naoki added: "Shuichi-san, do you remember? Your dream is to make a famous TV series. No one can snatch a work of that level.
From commercials to short plays, isn't it a big step?"
"Otomo-san, don't you want to be the president of a large company? Resource transactions and strong channel relationships to gradually enter the entertainment industry should be considered.
From photo magazines to managing girl groups to producing short plays, isn’t it a step-by-step process of getting deeper into the entertainment industry?”
Naoki Nagayama looked at the two of them: "If you want to climb from an unknown place to the top of the mountain, you can't reach it in just one step!"
Although most people generally only have one chance to move up, but with Nagayama Naoki here, will there be fewer opportunities in the future?
Itou Shuichi and Yoshimura Otomo were silent for a while, and seemed to have figured it out.
Fangcun Otomo drank a glass of wine: "Yeah, it's very difficult."
Itou Shuichi looked at Nagayama Naoki: "Naoki-san, I have been talking about my and Otomo-san's ideals for a long time, so what is your ideal?"
"What is it?" Naoki Nagayama was also asked.
When I first came to Showa, I wanted to get rich suddenly, and then I thought about living a leisurely and decadent life. Then I realized that even though I was rich, a life without ideals didn't seem that interesting, like salted fish... And now?
"Maybe I want to try everything I want!" I entered the entertainment industry by accident, so I wanted to see the scenery of the entertainment industry from a high place, but I still added, "Then live a leisurely life~"
"Eh? What kind of ideal is that?" Itou Shuichi was dissatisfied.
"Hahaha, let's realize your ideals first. My ideals will be realized with the help of two big presidents and famous directors~" Nagayama Naoki laughed and changed the topic.
"Come on, come on, after this drink, let's go dance!"
.......
After understanding their position clearly, Shuichi Itou and Otomo Yoshimura not only did not relax, but put more enthusiasm into it.
According to them, even if there is a deal in the end, the best work must be delivered.
Indeed, the format of "Wonderful Stories of the World" is destined to be a long-lived program.
The first season has been completely marked by Shuyou Movies and Itou Shuichi. If the latecomers cannot surpass them, then the reputation of the first season will become higher and higher with subsequent comparisons.
Finally, when "Wonderful Story of the World" is mentioned, what everyone thinks of will still be the original Shuyu Pictures and Shuichi Itou.
In view of this, Nagayama Naoki quickly wrote down all the famous short stories in the future, such as Yesterday's Park, The Evil Spirit in the Snow Mountain, Air Doctor, etc.
Each surprising and profound story made Itou Xiu keep exclaiming: "Naoki-san is such a monster, how many abilities are hidden!"
Naoki Nagayama could only express his current mood with a legendary half-smile expression:
"I don't know how many things are hidden in my subconscious mind of more than 30 years in the future..."
