The next day, the news of Michiko's sudden retirement made the headlines in the entertainment section. Nagano Teppei also issued a formal announcement in the name of Michiko's agency, confirming her retirement - the reason was very upright, Michiko must put her studies first
, hoping that the audience who likes and supports her will wait for her to return in a better attitude.
Of course, whether or not to come back will be discussed in the future! Let’s deal with it for now. After all, after the heat has passed, there won’t be many people making noises.
There was a sound of regret from the outside world, and reporters seemed to be going crazy. They asked around about the situation, trying to help readers figure out why Michiko refused to take the high road and insisted on returning to ordinary life. Soon, Ryoko Nanbu appeared in public to support her daughter.
choice - she was very pleased that her daughter was not blinded by fame and fortune, and supported her thoughts and actions with both hands and feet.
She herself really wanted to be surrounded by flashing lights, and now her dream has come true. She has frequently appeared in newspapers, in front of the camera, and even participated in parenting programs, talking about "One Hundred and One Ways to Raise an Excellent Daughter."
, her performance was quite good, and she didn’t show any sign of her daughter’s collapse when she retired. She was an absolutely wonderful mother. I guess Michiko’s acting talent should have been inherited from her.
Or should I say, women are born to act, right?
Chihara Rinto ignored these nonsense, leaving Nagano Teppei and Nanbu Ryoko to deal with reporters, and continued to focus on the production of the next season of TV series - his power in the production bureau became even greater, with nine programs under his control, almost accounting for the TV series production department
Half of the country, there is nothing wrong with saying that he is a veritable deputy commander, but he is still personally on the front line and leading the charge.
The production bureau system for Japanese TV drama production was already very complete. The expansion of programs under Chihara Rinto did not add much burden to him. At most, he was more laissez-faire on last season's dramas such as "The Stick" and "The Cold and Warm World". The entire team
The operation is still going well, with screenwriting, filming and other aspects going smoothly.
And as the broadcast time approaches, the schedules have also been allocated.
The eight o'clock slot on Friday night is the prime time slot that Chihara Rinto wants to build for reputation. "Naoki Hansawa", "Unnatural Death", and "Homeless Children" are all broadcast during this time slot. Naturally, this season cannot
He was careless, but still had to put on a strong program to prevent all previous efforts from being wasted - "Simple and Amazing! School Review Girl Etsuko Kono" starring Izumi Yuko was placed in this time slot and he continued to maintain the good reputation of this time slot.
Friday night at 8pm, produced by Qianyuan, it must be a masterpiece!
The time after eight o'clock is still followed by "Human Observation". Currently, the leading actors of various dramas are taking turns to participate in this variety show to build momentum for the new season. Hitomi Konoe is very active, and her plans are adopted one after another, and she works out in a daze.
The series of "Encounter with Prince Charming", "Princess Favors", "Strong Bidong", and "Help Cope with Moms Forced to Marry" are very popular.
After the main drama was determined, the remaining TV dramas were also arranged.
The last season of "The World" was on Tuesday night at 8 o'clock. However, the performance of the show was slightly poor last season. Housewives seem to be very sticky when watching the show. If they are already following the show, they are very loyal and will not abandon the show easily.
, but Chihara Rinto thinks this is not a bad thing. After all, thinking about it on the other hand, after the housewives group accepts "The Cold and Warm World", the probability of it being snatched away by others is also low.
Therefore, even though this drama was the worst performer last season, he still did not give up. Instead, he increased investment, provided more budget and manpower, and broadcast two consecutive episodes this season - one at 8 o'clock, with the middle episode
Let the operations department sell non-stick pans and toiletries for a while, and then air another episode after nine o'clock.
Then it's Wednesday night, with the second season of "Love Stick" at 8 o'clock to attract attention, followed by the suspense drama "My Dangerous Wife" - the story of the intrigue between the husband and wife. The husband is preparing to kill his wife, and the wife is
Kidnapped!
On Thursday night, "Obstetrician Hongniao" will be the lead, followed by "Jumping the Big Search Line", a story about an office worker who becomes a grassroots police officer to solve various strange cases.
Saturday night was still abandoned, and on Sunday it was "Suits" that attracted attention for "The Goku", a youthful comedy and inspirational TV series in which a yakuza eldest daughter is a teacher. The famous actor Asami Arikawa plays the lead role, and her image has changed drastically.
, transformed from a city girl into an old-fashioned female teacher wearing glasses - Arikawa Asami came to her on her own, and Chaoyue TV station suppressed her salary. Although the two parties did not break out in public, it was still a bit unpleasant.
.
Maybe Arikawa Asami wanted to "revenge" Asatsuki TV, or maybe she saw that Kanto United TV Station was doing well recently and wanted to come over to try out the possibility of long-term cooperation. Anyway, she lowered her status and came here on her own initiative. But she
The requirements are very high. Not only does he have to receive royalties from the creative component as the main protagonist, but he also insists on high salary. A single episode costs 3 million yen, which is three times that of Yuko Izumi and five times that of Michiko. It is almost the same as that of current actresses.
The highest level of remuneration.
The high is a bit high. There is a tacit understanding between the major TV stations in Japan. When filming TV dramas, the actors' remuneration is kept very low. After all, TV dramas are basically fully invested by the TV station. If the cost is too high, everyone will die together, so they have a unified idea in this regard.
, no one wants to cause trouble, and 3 million yen per episode is considered a weekly salary, which is actually quite acceptable - of course, it depends on who you compare it to. Compared with the average person's monthly income of 200,000 yen, it is certainly good, but compared with
Comparing the salaries of Chinese actors, a Japanese actor would have to spit out a mouthful of old blood five meters away.
At that time, Iori Murakami reported the conditions, and Rinto Chihara didn’t really want to use such an expensive actor. It’s not like Asami Arikawa, the butcher, would have to eat pigs with hair on them. It seemed that there was no need to significantly increase the budget just for a tool man.
Good deal.
He directly asked Murakami Iori to decline the offer. Even though Asami Arikawa was very popular and even better than a new star like Izumi Yuko, it was a pity to reject the offer, but there was nothing that could be done about it because the price/performance ratio was not good. After all, the current budget pressure was also very high, and money could not be spent indiscriminately.
, and Asami Arikawa's agent knew what Rinto Chihara was worried about, and immediately sent word privately that if Asami Arikawa could be confirmed to star, the 3 million yen per episode this season could not be changed, but the next season could be discounted, and 1 million yen per episode would be fine.
, but try to keep it as confidential as possible.
As soon as the news arrived, Murakami Iori and Chihara Rinto immediately understood what Asami Arikawa was doing. She was not interested in the small amount of money, but wanted to create a gimmick to drive up advertising fees. Japanese actors' income mainly comes from advertising.
According to the Feihe Commercial Acting Platform, Asami Aikawa's current reasonable salary should be around 2 million yen. According to the default market conditions, the advertiser's quotation for her will be between 15 million yen and 20 million yen for one advertisement, and she is not interested in the price.
If you are not satisfied anymore, you should stabilize it to more than 20 million yen, or even raise it to 30 million yen.
It should be that Chaoyue TV refused to cooperate with her (Chaoyue TV's current economic situation is not very good and the budget is tight), so she simply ran away. It seems that she is an actress who loves money, but there is nothing wrong with this, she is not
Stealing and robbing - Rinto Chihara checked it out. Asami Arikawa's annual income seemed to be around 200 million yen last year, and it should be about the same this year (she hasn't filed taxes this year, so her income can't be calculated). She probably wants to challenge 300 million yen next year.
Yen.
It was easy to figure out her thoughts. Chihara Rin and Murakami Iori discussed it again and felt that overall, the price/performance ratio was okay. Then Arikawa Asami immediately changed from a high-priced tool person to a high-quality tool person - that is, Chihara
Rinren is confident in his heart and is not afraid of jumping in. He is sure that "Jokudou Fresh Master" will continue to be filmed in the future. If he changes to the producer of Chaoyue TV, he should not dare to make such a decision. After all, what if he jumps in the first season?
Well, this show will no longer be used in the future, so it seems very stupid to give a super high salary for the first season, and the producers may have to shoulder a bigger blame.
It would be easier if it was a high-quality tool man, and both parties immediately reached a consensus.
This season, Rinto Chihara will increase her salary so that she can star in the future cheaply. At the same time, she must also be highly cooperative so that the crew can use her fame to boost ratings, while Asami Arikawa will take advantage of the increase in her salary and the "super recognition" of the talented screenwriter.
” as a reason to find ways to get more money out of advertisers’ pockets.
It's barely a win-win, and Asami Arikawa is indeed very popular. Within five years of her debut, she has amassed a large number of fans with her sweet and pure acting style. Judging from the publicity effect alone, "Jokudou Fresh Master" is the best before the season starts.
, the response was the most enthusiastic, and the audience had the highest expectations for her to try an unusual role, making Chihara Rinto feel that her money was well spent.
At this point, the challenge posed by four old dramas, four new dramas, and one variety show, the "Prime Time Ratings Season Championship" team has finally been organized, and everyone is in preparation for attack, waiting for the start of the season on October 4th to compete with the four
The major commercial TV stations are fighting it out, while Sakurajima, Tokyo Broadcasting System and Fujisan are ready to welcome the challenger. Asazuki TV has also been preparing hard, but it seems to be lagging behind in the season opening promotion, and rumors have begun to spread.
, indicating that Kanto United Television may be able to replace it.
At this time, Chihara Rinto could not do anything more. In addition to maintaining his daily work, he also entered a waiting period to see how the first episode was released before making a decision. However, Michiko, who had not seen him for several days, was released in the afternoon.
Xiao Xue sneaked over.
When Qianhara Rinto saw her, he smiled and asked, "Reporters will stop harassing you?"
Miqianzi smiled sweetly and said, "It's better, Master."
"That's good." Qianhara Rinto responded casually, lowered his head and went about his business, and said with a smile: "Let's go play!"
She was in good spirits. She was wearing a junior high school sailor uniform, had her hair combed in a bun, hung her schoolbag at the door, and said with a smile: "I'm not here to play, Master. My mother bought me a computer. I'll do it tonight."
Let’s play for a while, I don’t have to play at your place!”
"Oh?" Chihara Rinto looked up in surprise. After thinking about it, he thought that Nanbu Ryoko might be out of compensatory psychology, and smiled: "Yes, it seems that you two are getting along well these days."
"She is busy accepting interviews and appearing on programs now!" Michiko replied readily: "Master, do you still remember that she is training new people? Now she can't do anything to me. I think her energy is transferring to the new people, so you have to be careful.
"
"What should I be careful about?"
"My mother used to be afraid of you because of my affairs and didn't dare to come to you. Now that she thinks it's okay, she will definitely treat you to dinner under the banner of thanking Master, and she wants to help the newcomers find roles." Michiko was obviously more like Chihara Rinto.
Kissing her a little, she had no intention of taking care of her biological mother, and said seriously: "Master, be careful, don't agree to anything to her."
"As long as it doesn't embarrass you, you don't have to worry about anything else." Chihara Rin doesn't care about Nanbu Ryoko. Her newcomers audition normally and follow the procedures. Use them if they are suitable. If they are not suitable, don't try to use the back door.
He didn't take this matter to heart at all. He looked at Michiko and found that she was rolling up her sleeves. He asked strangely: "Why did you come here so early if you weren't just for fun? Isn't there a club activity in junior high school? Didn't you participate in it?"
"There are no interesting clubs. I don't want to join for the time being. I'll decide in high school." Michiko was already busy there, picking up various utensils and throwing away garbage, like a hard-working little bee.
There is a lot of information in Qianhara Rinto's office that cannot be disclosed to outsiders. Competitors or reporters will be interested in it. Ordinary personnel are not allowed to come in casually. Cleaning requires trustworthy people, but trustworthy people are very busy, so daily life here
It was a mess, and while she was cleaning it, she said, "Anyway, it's early after school, so I'll come right here. I can't let Master forget about me!" Then she turned around and winked cutely, "Just treat it as part-time job after school.
I work as Master’s personal assistant!”
"Okay, I'll give you pocket money." Chihara Rinto doesn't care. Michiko is not an outsider. She can stay here if she likes. It won't be a problem anyway. As for working part-time, that's a joke. Michiko is not allowed to work at her age, but since he
It doesn't matter if he gets some pocket money here, he is not short of money, and giving some pocket money to the disciples is not even a drop in the bucket - not to mention the real investment, as his works become more and more, his annual income is also increasing.
With the rapid improvement, it should also exceed the 200 million yen mark.
This is not high for a producer and famous screenwriter, and there is still a lot of room for improvement. For example, Tetsuya Komuro, the godfather of Japanese music in his original world, has a maximum annual income of 9.6 billion yen, most of which comes from royalties-Japanese copyright protection
He is super strict. Artists have to pay him even if they sing one of his songs on the show, and he once dominated the Japanese music industry.
Of course, such high incomes are rare, and this one is the only one, but well-known big producers also earn quite a lot, such as Takeshi Kitano, whose highest annual income is over 2.5 billion yen. It can be seen that as long as a creator maintains his creative ability for a long time, he can accumulate more income over time.
The income gained cannot be underestimated at all.
Michiko was very happy to get the agreement. She really wanted to stay with Rinto Chihara, which made her feel very safe. However, she didn't want the relationship between the two parties to gradually become alienated because they no longer interacted with each other on weekdays. She immediately started working harder and was busy with her little face.
She was very happy, and Qianhara Rinto went with her, just thinking that she was young and loved to play - she didn't have many friends, and when she was making friends, she was busy attending various training classes!
The two masters and apprentices have changed their relationship. Michiko comes to report to him after school every afternoon. If there is any work, she will do it. Occasionally, she will help him run errands. If not, she will do her homework. Sometimes she will stay with Chihara Rin.
They chatted and laughed, ate lunch, and went home after eating the lunch. As they got along like this, the autumn season of 1997 began.
