Chihara Rinto's words were very strong, but the actual situation began to slowly deteriorate.
Ue Yano stirred up trouble, and the four major commercial stations took the opportunity to fan the flames. Fearing that the matter would not become popular and it would become serious, Ue Yano started appearing on a talk show, talking with trembling hands and a sad face about the harm caused to him by Rinto Chihara.
, the image is very pitiful.
The people are very fond of this. Compared with Kamino and Chihara Rinto, they are a standard vulnerable group. The so-called weak one is justified. This is because Chihara Rinto is wrong. He must be bullying the weak.
Iori Murakami tried her best, but it is human nature to sympathize with the weak, and this inherent concept is not easy to break. Whether it was a press conference or a statement in the press, she was quickly drowned in a sea of doubts about Chihara Rinto, and this
This voice of doubt is still turning in the direction of accusation.
Qianhara Rinto was still not in a hurry. He was anxious and couldn't solve the problem. He didn't even pound the table when he was alone. He just watched all this calmly. The legal department even asked to send a lawyer's letter to warn a few newspaper writers who spoke particularly excessively.
After being stopped by him, no matter whether these people were talking nonsense or not, they now represent "public opinion", and going against "public opinion" never ends well, no matter whether the "public opinion" is correct or wrong.
He has seen too many similar examples in another world. The entertainment industry has its own game rules. In this world, if you are right, you will definitely be supported, and if you are wrong, you will be criticized. Send out the lawyer's letter
, is just providing ammunition to the other party, and will be interpreted as suppressing "free speech", which is another kind of bullying.
He wrote these people down in a small notebook and waited for the day when the accounts would be settled. He had always been gentle on the surface and might not care about small things because they were not worth his time, but it really made him hold a grudge.
It can be remembered for at least ten years.
He was not in a hurry and still worked step by step, but someone was worried for him.
Izumi Sakazumi was the first to speak out and supported him unconditionally. She used her personality to guarantee that Rinto Chihara was not the kind of person Kamiyano said she was. She even directly accused Kamiyano of lying. It was just that the public suspected that she was covering for Rinto Chihara. Her words
I don’t really believe that ordinary people like to speculate. Many people think that they are a couple and that it is normal for the girlfriend to protect her boyfriend.
The second person to publicly support him, even Chihara Rinto himself was a little surprised, was Izumi Yuko. Originally, he thought that Izumi Yuko should be the one who shrank the fastest, but he didn't expect that she would also follow Sakazumi Izumi.
When he bluntly stated in front of reporters that he didn't believe every word Shang Yanye said, that boy Shang Yanye was just spreading rumors.
The reporter also didn't believe her. Instead, someone asked her if she was under pressure from Chihara Rinto.
Subsequently, actors such as Nobu Sugano, Arata Onuma and others who had worked with Rinto Chihara also expressed their support. Actors such as Asami Arikawa, Aya Hosokawa, Hiroshi Soma, Misaki Whalei and other actors in the crew were naturally not to be left behind.
They have all publicly expressed the same idea on different occasions: Chihara Rinto is not that kind of person, and everyone should not listen to Kamiyano's one-sided remarks.
Chihara Rinto's popularity among his colleagues was average, and his popularity among the actors was pretty good, but it was still of no use. The newspapers were even more aggressive in splashing dirt on him, and he was very self-talking. In just two days, things had changed.
The discussion of whether Rinto Chihara is a bastard has turned into researching what kind of bastard Rinto Chihara is.
Or he pretends to be more neutral, indicating that Chihara Rinto may have been a good guy in the past, but now... what made him become the bad guy he is now?
Is it fame? Is it profit? Is it vanity?
Is the road going too smooth and you are arrogant?
Is it because the mentality is too inflated and the desire for quick success and quick gain has begun to destroy human nature?
It's a pity that if you don't control your original intention well, your genius will fall, and everyone will find it and punish him in the future!
It's sad and pitiable.
…
In another seven or eight years, this is how traditional newspaper groups will deal with the upstarts of the Internet. They will start by grasping a small sore foot and determine step by step that this person has flaws in his character. Then they will attack from all aspects and expose more.
It doesn’t matter whether these black materials are true or not, such as a corrupt private life, wanton squandering to show off wealth, and willingness to work as a lackey for overseas funds. People already believe that this person has a problem with his character. Then he will have sores on his head and runny feet.
It's completely reasonable to have a little pus, and eventually everyone will ban it. This will last for several months or even a year, and Qianhara Rinto has just begun.
He really moved the cheese of the four major commercial channels, so he enjoyed extraordinary treatment in advance. Although it is certainly not as powerful as the full-scale strangulation of the Internet upstarts later, it should still be considered a small achievement.
The public opinion trend is not only attacking him, but also affects Kanto United Television. Some people are already asking, "Kanto United Television relies on squeezing employees to achieve high ratings. Is it considered a sinister enterprise?" Fortunately, since the establishment of Kanto United Television,
He has received severe beatings from the Big Four all year round. Apart from other things, his psychological quality is quite good, and he has not wavered in his determination to support Rinto Chihara. He held his head while being beaten and scolded him in return.
He is very strong, but he is really out of action for the time being. This kind of thing cannot be explained at all, and this public opinion trend was quickly reflected in the ratings.
After the third episode of "Gokudō Fresh Master" was aired, its rising momentum stopped, and its average time-sharing ratings did not move at all. Although it still held the top spot on the ratings list this season, its prospects suddenly dimmed. It did not drop by 80%, but it was Arikawa.
Fortunately, Asami's appeal is strong enough. Without her, a popular first-line actress, the ratings might have dropped.
"School Girl Etsuko Kono" suffered a heavy blow. The 8 o'clock slot on Friday night is considered to be Chihara Rinto's core schedule. A large number of viewers who originally supported him were affected and left one after another. The newly added viewers were not enough to fill the gap, and the average time-sharing ratings
It dropped sharply by 3.5%, falling directly out of the top five.
Programs related to Chihara Rinto such as "The Stick", "My Dangerous Wife", "Human Observer", "Suits", "Obstetrician Kotori", etc. have also suffered setbacks, and the average time-sharing ratings may have stagnated.
, or simply fell, and the upward momentum was completely stopped. "Obstetrician" is about to fall off the ratings list, while "Suits" simply fell off the list and became a second-rate program.
Only "Warm and Cold World" and "Jumping Search Line" are in a special situation.
"The Cold and Warm World" is mainly a drama for the housewives group. It has been half-dead and the housewives group has not paid much attention to it. However, it seems that the recent programs related to Chihara Rinto have been mentioned too many times, or he has made a big news, family
Housewives would inevitably start mentioning him during group gatherings. The drama "Warm and Cold World" inexplicably gained many more viewers, its ratings increased a lot, and it suddenly entered the ratings list. In response to this situation, Chihara Rinto didn't know what to do.
Anyway, he thought that the longevity drama "Warm and Cold World" would be revived sooner or later, but he never expected that it would be revived like this.
It’s really a mystery for the audience to choose dramas...
"Jumping Line" is very strange and very in line with the current audience's taste. Even though Chihara Rinto's reputation has been damaged, many fans of the drama are disgusted with him and began to spontaneously boycott his drama, but the audience of this drama
It is still increasing, and many viewers who don’t care who is filming the show are pouring in at an accelerated rate. As a result, the rising momentum of "Jumping Line" has not been weakened much, but the ranking has risen one place again.
Or should I say, the best of misfortunes?
But overall, the losses have been heavy, and there is a suspicion of a complete collapse, and this season we originally planned to try to compete for the season championship!
"Master, let me come back next season!" Michiko clenched her little fists, with a very determined expression, and said seriously: "Let's film the second season of "Homeless Children"!"
Although she is young, she knows a lot about things in the industry, and she fully understands that Chihara Rinto is in big trouble now, and she has accumulated a lot of experience with her role as Rei Aizawa in "Homeless Child"
She has a lot of popularity and is very popular among the people. She feels that she should take advantage of this season to pounce. It doesn't matter. She will help Qianhara Rinto come back next season!
She will definitely work hard to perform and achieve super high ratings!
Chihara Rinto is reading the feedback on the Internet. Many people have expressed their disappointment with him through the Internet, especially the group of viewers who were more affected by "Hansawa Naoki". How much they liked him at the time, they love him now.
Disappointed, even because Nobu Kanno spoke out in support of him, some people are also expressing dissatisfaction with Nobu Suganno.
The customs in Japan in the 1990s are indeed very strict for public figures. I haven't had an extramarital affair yet! If I really fool around with an actress after getting married, why should I be hung up and beaten by the audience?
While secretly vigilant, he said casually: "No, you have finally won the right to freely choose your life, why are you coming back!"
Michienko has only announced her retirement for a month, and the fever has not completely subsided. She will probably get a swollen face when she comes back, but Michiko doesn't care and insists: "The newspaper said that Master wants to compete for the season championship. Now...it seems that he can't compete, then.
Let me go next season! I will help Master compete for the season championship!"
Qianhara Rinto smiled and said: "Who said we can't fight? It's only the end of October, and there are still more than two months left. It's too early to say who will win."
"It was mentioned in the newspaper, and I read it online..."
"What happened online?"
"Some people on the Internet are calling for a boycott of Master's drama, saying... that you have changed and have forgotten your original intention, and they want to help you... um, help you wake up. It seems that there are quite a few people participating."
Chihara Rinto nodded silently. The Internet in Japan has now reached a period of rapid development, especially when the "Four Prefectures Earthquake" occurred this year. At that time, many volunteers communicated with overseas through the Internet to seek assistance, which was even more efficient than government action. Very
It has brought the Internet to the limelight. The word "Internet" may become one of the "top ten hot words" this year, leading to more and more people surfing the Internet. When he first came here, he estimated that there were only three to four hundred Internet users.
Thousands of people, it's almost 1998, and the development of computers in this world seems to be faster than in his original world. It is estimated that there are 8 million to 10 million users, which is almost doubled.
Of course, there are still many, many fewer users than the 70 to 80 million users of later generations, but it is indeed not a force that can be underestimated, especially now that the Internet user group is basically between 18-35 years old. This is advertising
The TV station operation department also has ratings statistics specifically for this group.
This is so unlucky...
He gently rubbed Michiko's head and said with a smile: "It doesn't matter, it's not a big deal. You don't have to worry about this, just live your life well."
Michiko tilted her head without a trace and moved her head away from Qianhara Rinto. It was not because she was afraid of messing up her hair, but because she was about to enter the second grade of junior high school and she didn't want to have her head rubbed anymore, let alone look like her.
She always used her head to dig into Chihara Rinto's palm, probably because she was a little kid when they first met her. She always felt that Chihara Rinto always treated her like a child. It was okay before, but not so good now.
She tilted her head and said seriously: "Master hopes that I will be well, and I also hope that Master will be well. You don't have to worry about my thoughts at this time. I want to do something for you."
Qianhara Rinto was very pleased and said softly: "I understand. If there is really a need, I will definitely speak up."
Miqianzi clenched her fist hard: "Then you must remember! I will always support you, Master, no matter what others say!"
She was telling the truth, even if Qianhara Rinto was a guy with a human face and a beast's heart, he was still her master, and she would definitely stand with him, even if he was scolded by others, it didn't matter.
Qianhara Rinto was even more relieved, this apprentice was not in vain!
Just as he was about to say "thank you" again, Nishijima Rumi knocked on the door lightly and came in, handing him a piece of information directly: "Secretary Chihara, this is what you ordered last time."
Qianhara Rinto took it and took a look, and found that it was asking if anyone in the current crew wanted to quit. While scrolling through it, he asked, "Are there many people who want to quit?"
He estimated that there must be a dozen or dozens of people, so it wouldn't be surprising, but Rumi Nishijima shook his head and said, "No."
Qianhara Rinto also saw it and said strangely: "There is no one? Is it the wrong way to ask?"
You didn't engage in any private threats or coercion, right?
"It was handed over to the human resources department for enquiry. The human resources department guarantees that the results are true and reliable." Nishijima Rumi lowered her head and said seriously: "There is a strong atmosphere of common hatred in the team now. Chihara-san, you are not fighting alone. Kamiyano is
It’s damaging to everyone’s interests.”
She was not too surprised by the result. She had been observing Rinto Chihara for a long time. He was actually an anomaly in the Japanese workplace. He was particular about eating meat together and sharing even the most dramatic things like receiving awards.
Others won't take it all by themselves, let alone subsidies, bonuses and the like. He doesn't feel bad about spending the money from Kanto United Television.
Besides, he is not a black-hearted capitalist, and has nothing to do with him. He is just leading this group of people to work, trying his best to make outstanding results, taking the lead, and having the largest workload. The rest of the people are not blind, even the newcomers.
We have been together for almost half a year, and they are convinced that following Rinto Chihara can produce results, gain honors, improve qualifications, and get more money. It is better than following a bastard, even if the work intensity is higher.
Also happy.
Chihara Rinto felt good about this. At least there was no internal turmoil, and the basic quality of the series would not be greatly affected. He directly returned the file to Nishijima Rumi and said seriously: "Thank you for your trust on my behalf.
!”
"There is no need to say thank you, Chihara-san, you deserve this, and everyone is doing it for themselves!" Nishijima Rumi said sincerely, this is the reward accumulated by Chihara Rinto's words and deeds in daily life.
"Then let's tide over the difficulties together and move on."
"Yes!" Nishijima Rumi's expression was always serious, but when she heard some movement behind her, she turned her head and saw Hitomi Konoe touching the door but it seemed that someone was not coming in. She immediately raised her eyebrows.
She was very concerned about the things around Chihara Rinto. A while ago, Chihara Rinto, a guy who almost lived in the TV station, suddenly dropped all his work and disappeared for most of the day. After that, Konoe Hitomi began to come in and out of his office frequently. This must be one of the reasons.
There's a ghost!
There should be a group of personal subordinates behind Chihara Rinto, and two of his disciples, Hitomi Konoe, should be his confidants who pass on certain things. Rumi Nishijima can guess it, but the details are not clear, and it is inconvenient to ask, or even
There are still some unexplainable regrets.
She pretended that Konoe Hitomi was transparent and could not be seen by herself, then turned back and asked: "Also, Miss Murakami would like to ask you if you still want to attend the Academy Awards ceremony as planned?"
Qianhara Rinto was startled for a moment. He almost forgot about it. It’s time for the Academy Awards again, but now he is in trouble...
He pondered for a while, nodded and said: "Please help me tell Miss Murakami that I will go. Everything will remain as usual."
The Academy Award can be regarded as the highest honor for Japanese dramas. He wanted to win it once. After all, there is a slight difference in influence in the circle between those who have it and those who do not. It is also related to the amount of energy potion obtained, which is equally important. This award has been seriously infiltrated by the four majors.
But the invitation letter for the quarterly meeting was sent early, and he felt that there should be something interesting this time.
After all, when the pork was distributed last time, he was said to be too junior, so basically nothing was given to him. But after he worked for another year, his weight in the circle was already very different, and he even had "Unnatural Death" in his hands.
and "Homeless Child", two popular national dramas, no matter how hard you think about it, you have to give him a big piece this time!
Therefore, if people want to give him benefits, he feels that even if he is in trouble now, he has to know how to count and support them.
Nishijima Rumi nodded, ready to report back to Murakami Iori so that she could reply to the Academy Awards, but Michiko happily said: "Master, will I walk the red carpet with you then?"
As the protagonist of "Homeless Children", she naturally got the invitation and hoped to attend an event with Chihara Rinto. Chihara Rinto did not object and said with a smile: "Okay, then.
Together, but don’t expect too much, if nothing happens this year, “Unnatural Death” should win the award.”
Miqianzi didn't care at all, she held his arm and said happily: "That doesn't matter, they are all Master's works anyway, no matter who takes them, they will be the same!"
However, it turns out that her thoughts were too beautiful...
