Chihara Rinto is slightly frustrated in love, but her career is booming, her hooves are flying all the way, and she runs like a wild donkey - "Hanzawa Naoki" is like a surging trend, almost unstoppable, and its ratings soared in less than a month
more than.
The seventh episode had an average time-sharing rating of 32.9%, and the highest time-sharing rating reached 36.2%. The eighth episode had an average time-sharing rating of 35%, and the highest time-sharing rating was 39.2%. The ninth episode achieved 37.7% and 43.23 respectively.
% good results, and what’s even more frightening is that the viewership share reached 84%.
This means that the shows in the same time period as "Hansawa Naoki" basically have no audience, let alone ratings. However, few people sympathize with these unlucky people. Drama critics and the media don't care and focus on them.
There is a lot of discussion about the ratings of "Naoki Hansawa", and it is believed that a super popular drama with a ratings of over 40% will soon be born, and the possibility of setting a new record is not even ruled out.
The current record holder for the world's highest ratings in Japan is the 1988 Taiga drama "Kido Yellow Gate", with an average time-sharing rating of 42.7%. It has defeated several challengers in a row, and for "Half"
There is no doubt that "Naoki Sawa" can exceed 40%. After all, the final episode of a season often has a huge increase in ratings, but whether it can break the record is the focus of the current debate, and it was very noisy for a while.
Chihara Rinto ignored these rumors from the outside world and kept immersed in his work.
At this time, it was already the first weekend of September. The filming of the main drama of "Naoki Hansawa" had completely ended, and the sp episode was also in the state of being edited. Chihara Rinto looked at the people in the crew applauding and celebrating, and for a moment
I fell into a state of confusion - the work has come to an end, what should I do?
He has always felt lonely in this strange country. He really doesn't know what to do except work.
But regardless of whether he was at a loss or not, the shutdown ceremony still had to be held. Qianhara Rinto led the crew to thank the camera, and then dismantled the scenes in the studio that needed to be dismantled, and the camera was directly sealed up. Obviously
There are no plans to continue filming the second season of "Hansawa Naoki" - I have been busy for nearly three months in vain, and I have no vacation at all. If I have to continue filming for another three months, someone on the crew will really die.
.
The working group began to take vacations in batches, waiting for the final quarter results to come out before having a celebration banquet together. Chihara Rinto also returned to his office and began to think about what the focus of quarter work should be, but he just sat down after returning to the office.
Two or three hours later, Shiga Ayumu called and asked with a smile: "Does Teacher Chihara have time now?"
"Yes, does Director Shiga have any instructions?" Chihara Rinto was helping his unlucky apprentice to level up while thinking about a new script. He did have time, so he immediately asked: "Do you need me to go to your place?"
"No, no, I just want to give a gift to Teacher Chihara. As long as you are not busy." Ayumu Shiga laughed and hung up the phone. Chihara Rinto looked at the phone confused and didn't understand.
What does “gift” refer to—could it be some puffer fish special meal?
As a result, before he could figure it out, Murakami Iori brought him two guests—two senior staff members of Yukinoshita Publishing House, Yasuda Yasuda and Yuuto Obata.
After asking about their purpose, Chihara Rinto was slightly surprised: "Do you want to publish "Hansawa Naoki"?"
He really didn't expect this. They were all adapted from books into TV series, so it was almost unheard of for them to be adapted from TV series into books.
Yasuda Yasuda, who was wearing a professional suit, took out a document and showed it to him, and said politely: "Mr. Chihara, this is market research data. Many readers have responded to us now, hoping to buy "Naoki Hansawa", and we thought about it.
I thought that this was a matter of mutual benefit, so I took the liberty to come and ask if your station had any ideas for adapting the TV series, and Director Shiga asked us to come and talk to you directly."
Obata Yuuto was a little older and added with a smile: "Speaking of which, I am not an outsider. Our Yukinoshita Publishing House is also a member of the "Nihon Keizai Shimbun". If Mr. Chihara has such an idea, it would be better to leave it to us than to leave it to us.
Outsiders are much stronger, and with Director Shiga’s intention, we will definitely give you the best conditions, you can rest assured about this.”
Chihara Rinto looked at Iori Murakami and asked curiously: "Is this feasible? I mean in terms of copyright, the copyright of "Hansawa Naoki" should now belong to Kanto United Television, right?"
Murakami Iori smiled and said: "The copyright is always yours, and Director Shiga has already given instructions regarding copyright. The publishing rights of literary works are returned to you. You can use them as you like, and all the income will be yours."
Qianhara Rinto was stunned for a moment, and suddenly realized that this was really a gift.
Shiga Ayumu is over-concerned. Seeing "Naoki Hansawa"'s performance and reputation are soaring, he is afraid that he will run away or be abducted back by the big five. This is giving him a sweet spot!
He is really over-attended, he is enjoying his work here and has no plans to run away for the time being, but the sweetness given by Shiga Ayumu is indeed sweet enough, and he is really willing to spend money in order to win people's hearts - we can really negotiate,
This represents a lot of money!
It's quite easy to make money as a writer in Japan. How good can the best be? So good that I don't want to go back to my country!
For example, Mr. Murakami lives abroad all year round. On the surface, he supposedly does it to write well, but in fact everyone guesses that he does it to avoid taxes. According to the Japanese tax law, if you live overseas for a long time, you will be taxed in Japan.
There is no need to pay taxes. It can be seen that this guy's royalties income is so high that paying taxes is extremely heartbreaking and he doesn't even want to have a home.
Of course, this is a guess, but it is certainly no problem to say that writing books can earn a lot of money in Japan.
I'm afraid that readers may not necessarily buy it because of the huge difference between literary scripts and literary scripts. However, due to copyright reasons, as long as the book is printed, regardless of whether it is sold or not, the publisher must pay royalties. In other words, as long as the "book" is
Giving it to the publishing house is basically equivalent to getting a sum of money?
This gift is really good. It is equivalent to part of the bonus from the success of the drama "Naoki Hansawa". Ayumu Shiga is so generous and interesting!
Chihara Rinto couldn't help but have a favorable impression of Shiga Ayumu again +200, and he immediately became interested. He was in urgent need of money now, so why not accept money if someone came to him? Whether the publishing house would pay for it or not was none of his business. Anyway, he was originally
I don’t want to be a writer, and I don’t have to worry about the life and death of a publishing house.
He immediately pulled out the literary script of "Hanzawa Naoki" and handed it over, smiling: "Do you think it would be feasible to change this and print it directly?"
Yasuda Yasuda and Yuto Obata immediately took it and looked through it together. It took them more than half an hour, and then they chatted quietly for a while. Yuto Obata smiled and said: "It's pretty good, but it's still brief.
I have made some changes, and I hope that I can make some slight adjustments to enrich the details and text, but don’t worry, Qianyuan-sensei, if you feel at ease, you can leave it to us directly.”
Yukinoshita Publishing House is also a large publishing house. It has no shortage of shooters and editors. It is very optimistic about this project and feels that the market should be quite big. The Japanese people have the habit of buying and collecting books, mainly because the government has continued to encourage this kind of practice for many years.
Behavior, the money spent on buying books can be offset against a certain amount of personal tax. For people with a good income, it is often equivalent to not buying it. This includes a large number of office workers - these people like "Naoki Hansawa" very much.
If you see a book about this drama being published, you will most likely buy a copy and collect it.
They were still confident that the book would be sold. As for helping Chihara Rinto polish the manuscript again, they were just doing their job and didn't feel any difficulty.
Without spending much time on his own, Qianhara Rinto was even more satisfied and immediately said: "That would be troublesome, but I want the final review rights, and I can only publish it after I agree. As for the cost..."
Yasushi Yasuda had no objection to the right to review, and immediately said: "Generally, for works published twice in the industry, the royalties are 8 to 10%. How about we pay the highest 10%?"
Chihara Rinto didn’t know much about the publishing industry, and the original owner had no relevant memories. He immediately looked at Uemura Iori, who naturally wanted to help him raise the price, and said with a smile: “I’ve heard of Mr. Asami Yuko’s royalties before.
It’s 14%…”
The word tax on royalties does not refer to taxes, but to the amount of money that should be paid to the author based on the copyright. For example, 10% of the royalties multiplied by the price of the book and then multiplied by the number of prints is the amount of money that the copyright owner should get.
"Asami Yuko-sensei is the first work, so the royalties are naturally higher." Yasuda Yasuda paid the price according to the industry's default rules, so naturally he couldn't let go easily. "Chihara-sensei's work has actually been published once, so naturally it will be slightly lower."
of."
"This is the first time Chihara's work has been published. The popularity of TV series shows that it has opened up an audience for books. Taking 10% is too little." Murakami Iori argued hard, and Obata Yuto also quickly joined the battlefield, and the three of them
After a heated discussion, it was finally decided to pay the royalties at 11.5%. The first edition would be printed with 15,000 copies to see how it goes. If the sales were good, more copies would be printed.
Chihara Rinto couldn't say anything, so he was listening and calculating how much he could get this time.
If a volume costs about 3,000 yen, that’s nearly 5.2 million yen? If you print more, you can continue to print more?
Shiga Ayumu's bonus is quite high, starting from five million yen, and it may be tens of millions yen if it is higher. Moreover, what he implies is very obvious. As long as he stays at Kanto United Television and continues to work, the literature of future scripts will be
Will the rights to adapt the work be left to me?
After he finished calculating the money, Murakami, Obata and Yasuda also determined the conditions, and then immediately called people from the legal department to draft a formal contract, agreeing on the rights and obligations of both parties, and everything was settled quickly.
After sending the guests away, Murakami Iori came back and said with a smile: "Okay, Qianyuan, you have made a fortune now."
"I'll treat you to a drink later!" Chihara Rinto smiled and said, "It seems that Director Shiga is afraid that we two will run away. Did he say anything to you?"
Murakami Iori smiled and said: "Mainly because he is afraid that you will leave, but he did mention that he wanted to change the short-term contract into a long-term contract."
When they came to Kanto United Television, they only signed a one-year contract. After all, they had no results at that time, so they had to pay a high price. It was a big loss to sign a long-term contract. It is true that Shiga is eager for talents, but can he really treat Chihara Rinto?
The results were uncertain, and I didn’t object at the time, so it was decided for the time being. Now that it’s been half a year, I’m probably starting to feel uneasy, and I’m already considering changing the contract.
This is quite normal, and Chihara Rinto is not surprised. The main reason is that he is worried that the consortium and the Internet upstarts will get involved, and he will be involved as cannon fodder, otherwise it will be nothing if he signs for five or ten years at a time.
He smiled and said: "Let's not be in a hurry, let's wait and see!"
Murakami Iori had no objection. She would definitely follow Chihara Rinto anyway, and as long as she waited for the other party to pay a high price, there was really no need to rush. Seeing that she had nothing to do, she got up and was about to leave, and Chihara
Lin Ren stopped her and said, "By the way, Bai Mu-kun has also contributed to literary scripts. How much of the royalties do you think I should share with him?"
Murakami Iori said in surprise: "Do I need to give it to him?"
"Of course, he is the second author!" Chihara Rinto is not a person who likes to eat alone, and he is even more afraid that no one will help him in the future. If Murakami Iori hadn't participated in the script creation, otherwise he would have given her a share, he said directly
: "The points must be divided, but I'm not sure how much."
"He was supposed to assist you in your work, and it's not like he didn't receive a salary." Murakami Iori felt that it was unnecessary, but he knew Qianhara Rinto relatively well. After thinking about it, he added: "If you feel bad about it, just give him another one."
The remuneration is ready...I remember that magazines usually charge about 5,000 yen for a 350-word manuscript, so you can calculate the number of words and pay him."
Qianhara Rinto thought about it for a while and said with a smile: "Okay, I understand, let's take a look at the situation first! If the book sells well, I will give him a 1% royalty. If the book does not sell well, I will give him a royalties."
"
Murakami Iori had no objection. It was Qianhara Rinto’s money anyway. He could spend it however he wanted. He walked out and said with a smile: “Qianhara, when you are about to have money, don’t save so much. Customize a better suit. You
Will use it soon."
Qianhara Rinto was counting money when he raised his head and asked curiously: "Is there any big occasion recently?"
Murakami Iori was convinced by Chihara Rinto. Although his salary was very high, he only wore a few pieces of clothes all the time. I don’t know where he spent the money. He smiled and said: "We have a very good chance of winning the Star Award."
Come, I will attend the award ceremony, please dress better, you are the face of our crew now!"
Only then did Chihara Rinto realize, by the way, there is a prize to be won at the end of the season!
