Chihara Rinto walked all the way into the TV production bureau building. The people he met were a little distracted. He could vaguely feel the people's hearts floating, and it felt like a storm was coming. When he walked into Murakami Iori's office,
Seeing Murakami Iori walking in circles with her eyebrows furrowed and looking uneasy, this feeling became even deeper.
Murakami Iori saw him coming and immediately asked: "Has Director Shiga called you?"
She had asked this once. She was asking if Qianhara Rinto had received a call on the way here. Qianhara Rinto shook his head, sat down directly on the guest sofa, and asked, "Is the news reliable?"
Murakami Iori hesitated for a moment: "It should be 70-80% reliable, it's all being passed on."
Something really big happened. When they were holding a celebration party last night, Kiyoshi Takemoto, chairman of the Board of Directors of Kanto United Television, suffered an ischemic stroke at home, also commonly known as cerebral infarction. He was directly sent to the hospital for emergency treatment.
The current situation is unknown.
Of course, the thing is, they don't care much about the life and safety of Station Director Kiyoshi Takemoto. After all, the two sides are quite far apart, and they can't interact with each other on weekdays. They are almost like strangers, and they can't care even if they want to.
They are concerned about who will take over the position of director.
Cerebral infarction is no joke. The onset is sudden and the fatality rate is high. Even if he can be rescued, there will be very serious sequelae. Come to think of it, even if Takemoto Kiyoshi saves his life, there is a high probability that he will not be able to cope with the daily heavy work of a large commercial TV station, which is a high probability.
He would retire and replace someone as the director of the station - it would be easier if he didn't come back after being rescued. It wouldn't work without changing the director.
Then for them, the question is whether Shiga Ayumu can become the director.
There is still a high degree of certainty. After all, Shiga Ayumu has the attributes of a "prince" as the deputy director and director of the production bureau. The director faction has always had a dominant position in the TV station, so it seems logical to take over. However, Kanto United Television is a merger.
Cheng, there is a long list of deputy directors, and it is not uncommon in history for the "prince" to overturn the "prince" to ascend the throne. Whether Shiga Ayumu can truly sit on the "dragon throne", no one can say for sure now.
Chihara Rinto was also there calculating the possibility of Shiga Ayumu's promotion. Anyway, based on his and Murakami Iori's ages, qualifications and backgrounds, even if the station director died ten times in a row, it would not be their turn. So for them, it was natural.
It is most cost-effective for Ayumu Shiga, an old boss, to be promoted to director.
It's just that he can't even get first-hand information now. He only relies on rumors. Even if he wants to do something, he can't do anything. How is Director Takemoto's condition? Can he be rescued? Will there be any sequelae after being rescued? Is it possible?
Really retire?
Even these are still unknown!
He thought about it for a while and felt that he had no idea what to do, so he could only sit there and wait for the news. Murakami Iori took out his mobile phone to look at it from time to time, frowning and saying: "It's too sudden..."
Qianhara Rinto was able to keep his composure and said with a smile: "Birth, old age, illness and death are human nature. Master Takemoto's health was not in good shape to begin with."
If Takemoto Kiyoshi behaves in good health, Shiga Ayumu may not be so anxious to achieve results. He wants to make a Taiga drama and is pushing to make a "movie" - this guy has long been looking forward to being the director of the station.
He also hopes that he can take over the power smoothly to avoid too many people opposing him, but he probably hopes that the director will retire smoothly and not end up in the hospital with a cerebral infarction.
With this unexpected situation, the variables are a little bigger.
Iori Murakami just said casually that it was not surprising that Takemoto Kiyoshi, a dry old man in his sixties or seventies, got any disease. She was silent for a while, looked at Chihara Rinto, and asked seriously: "We are sure to support Shiga
Step right?"
In the workplace, it is also very important to take sides. If you do not side with the winner, you will most likely be reckoned with by your queen, or at least there is a high probability that you will be hanged.
"Of course." Chihara Rinto knew that Murakami Iori was just making sure and did not hesitate at all: "Even if we don't talk about personal relationships, supporting him will be the most beneficial to us, and he has a higher chance of winning."
"But if he wants us to express our stance directly, he will fail in the end..."
"That's okay. No matter who comes to power, they will use us."
Ratings are the greatest source of confidence. Chihara Rinto has nothing to worry about, and no matter how bad things get, it won’t get any worse. However, Murakami Iori is not as optimistic as him, and mused: “That’s what I say, but Shiga Ayumu was not promoted to the station director.
, the station director’s faction is no longer the station director’s faction, it won’t be too convenient for us to do anything in the future, right?”
Seeing her worried about gains and losses, Qianyuan Rinto couldn't help but smile, and comforted: "It's useless to think about this now, just wait patiently."
Murakami Iori rolled her eyes at him, "You guys only want to burn money, but you don't know how difficult it is to get budget, equipment and personnel from the establishment committee. How can we do it without support from the top management?"
Wait patiently, you guy really doesn’t feel pain in your back when you stand and talk!
She has been doing her job smoothly. Qianhara Rinto has been leading the team and has been producing results. She can easily get a high position by taking care of the logistics and chores. Naturally, she hopes that the environment will be smooth, but now something unexpected has happened.
The situation, the variables soared, really frightened her - something she didn't expect at all. The best case scenario would be that Takemoto has a clear head and hands over power to Shiga Ayumu, and then they, as Shiga Ayumu's core members, can
It’s still nice to enjoy the shade under the big tree.
She said nothing more and kept looking at her phone, waiting for further news.
We must be concerned. Kanto United Television is a commercial television station. In fact, it is similar to a large company. So changing the director is equivalent to changing the president + chairman. It is not too much to say "change another day", but it is not enough to not care - Kanto United Changes Owners
Now, even if Shiga Ayumu becomes the director of the station, he will still stick to the current business policy. We need to ask about these things and be aware of them as early as possible.
But they waited in vain. Ayumu Shiga's cell phone was turned off and he kept following Mr. Takemoto "to fulfill his filial piety". He did not return to the TV station at all that day, and it took a full day and a half before he showed up.
…………
"Teacher Chihara, Miss Murakami, welcome." Shiga Ayumu still had the same big-eared attitude. He stood up to greet his two subordinates and said apologetically: "I'm sorry to keep you waiting for so long."
"It's nothing, you've worked hard too." Qianhara Rin and Murakami Iori saluted together, not minding at all.
No one is stupider than anyone else these days. Shiga Ayumu is in a hot spot right now. There are too many people coming to add firewood, and there is no other way to wait. What’s more, if they can get in, they have already jumped in line - Shiga Ayumu has not forgotten them.
As soon as I got back to the TV station, I immediately sent someone to call them. I really treated them as hardcore.
The reception room was surrounded by smoke. It was estimated that many big smokers had smoked here just now. The two parties sat down separately as the guests of honor. Shiga Ayumu poured tea for them with his own hands and sighed: "In this troubled year, time is tight, and there is no time for the two of them."
You two have made tea, please don't mind."
Murakami Iori didn't even glance at the tea, but just tried to say: "Master Takemoto, he..."
Bu Hebu put down the teapot, with a heavy expression on his face: "The situation is not optimistic. Although we have been rescued, there is no life-threatening danger for the moment, but now I can't even speak clearly, eh..."
He sighed, looking worried, while Chihara and Murakami nodded heavily in unison, expressing great concern about the director's brain damage - whether it was true or not, or hypocritical, they had to show this expression now.
Then, it was Iori Murakami who spoke with a serious expression of relief: "Director Shiga, don't worry too much, Yoshito has his own destiny."
"I hope!" Shiga Ayumu sighed again, his eyes turned to Chihara Rin and Murakami Iori: "This is really a very regrettable thing. Based on Kanto TV station, we can convince the newspaper group and
The bank invested, quickly integrated many small TV stations, and finally created Kanto United. You can’t imagine how difficult this process was - Director Takemoto is a very powerful and far-sighted person. He has always been my longing goal.
I thought that because of physical reasons..."
Chihara Rinto nodded silently. He was able to build a commercial TV station with nearly nationwide broadcasting rights. Even if the old man Kiyoshi Takemoto was not powerful, it would be impossible. However, such a courageous and action-oriented person actually withdrew from the stage of history because of a cerebral infarction.
, it is indeed a bit regrettable that the career has completely ended - life is limited, and you never wait for others. You should do more while you are not sick or in trouble.
He felt something in his heart, and his expression became more sincere, and comforted him: "Don't worry too much. I think Director Takemoto doesn't want to see you like this."
Ayumu Shiga nodded slowly, as if he felt that he was worthy of being Mr. Chihara. He just said a wise saying that was thought-provoking. He immediately said seriously: "Sensei Chihara is right, sadness is meaningless. The most important thing to do now is to make Mr. Takemoto no longer
The work has been completed - let Kanto United truly become the top TV station in the world!"
Murakami Iori and Chihara Rinto nodded together, inheriting Takemoto Kiyoshi's legacy... No, the director is not dead yet. It should be said that he will inherit the unfinished work of the director due to illness. This is better than saying that he wants to be the director, Shiga
Bu is a very particular person!
This was the moment of drama, and it was time to take sides. They immediately said in unison: "If there is anything we can do, please feel free to ask."
Shiga straightened his back, his sad expression followed by a hint of excitement - even if the "Prince" did not look forward to the death of the "Emperor", the death of the "Emperor" may bring sadness to the "Prince", but I'm afraid
He was more excited - he directly took out two documents and handed them to them, with a very affectionate tone and a hint of sincerity: "This is the six-year development outline of the TV station that I have initially drawn up. Please help me correct it."
Just like the Japanese Prime Minister's election campaign, the Prime Minister needs to promise voters "the unemployment rate will be reduced to less than 1.5%", "build low-cost housing", "increase medical insurance", "increase the legal hourly wage limit" and other benefits - can this be done?
I won’t mention it first, but you have to shout the slogan loudly, otherwise who will vote for you?
The nature here is the same. Shiga Ayumu wants to be the station director, no, he wants to complete Takemoto Kiyoshi's unfinished business. Naturally, he has to spread the word and explain what he will do as the second generation head - whether he has a new management policy or follows Takemoto.
Will Qing take the old path a step further? Will it be good or bad for everyone?
All these must be explained in detail, and it is as they should be. Qianhara Murakami and the two were not surprised. As the backbone of the "Taizhang Faction" or now the "Shiga Faction", they immediately immersed themselves in reading and found that the
He Bu is really not telling the truth. He wants to further raise funds, increase the budget of each program of the production bureau, expand the strength of the sales department, win with the quality of the programs, good programs have high advertising fees, and sell copyrights, peripherals and develop theater chains to make money, and strive for
Completely forming a virtuous circle, Kanto United became the fifth largest commercial TV station in Japan within six years.
Basically it is still his old policy, but the steps are a little bigger, the system is clearer, and some of the policies that were explored and tested in the past are officially determined, and the text pays special attention to the production bureau and the sales department, so there is nothing wrong with it.
——The bank faction only cares about profits. As long as they can make money, they are satisfied and don't want to care about anything else. The same is true for the newspaper faction. At most, they like to kick some eliminated personnel into the TV station to provide for their retirement. They should not object to it either.
Chihara Rin and Murakami Iori looked at each other and felt that Shiga Ayumu had really been thinking about the position of director for more than a day or two. The idea was quite clear. At least the two largest factions in the board of directors, the newspaper office and the bank, would support him.
Shiga Ayuya observed their expressions. Seeing that they had finished reading, he immediately asked seriously: "What do you think?"
"Very good, you have thought it through quite well." Qianhara Murakami has no objection at all. This development outline at least seems to be in their interests. As for some small details, there is definitely room for modification, but that doesn't matter.
Shiga Ayumu breathed a sigh of relief and immediately smiled: "Really? If those two can publicly express their support, then..."
He said they were "two people", but in reality he was only looking at Chihara Rinto.
His "promise" is very beautiful, but it's hard to say whether others believe it or not. At this time, someone with weight must agree - Chihara Rinto is the holder of multiple ratings records and is the strongest program producer in recent years.
People, if he is willing to shout that this outline is very feasible and that this prospect is real, its influence will still be great, and many "laymen" on the council will have a great deal of confidence.
He wanted Qianhara Rinto to endorse him and add some weight to what he said. Qianhara Rinto did not hesitate and nodded directly: "That's no problem. We'll do it later."
Then he pondered for a moment and asked: "Do we need to do anything else?"
"It's best for "Oki" to break the highest ratings record for Taiga dramas, the sooner the better." Shiga Ayumu was not polite and immediately put forward new requirements, hoping that the good ratings results could continue to help him take over as the director of the station -
When trying to gain support from council members, saying we have a popular national drama is not as good as saying we have a historical drama.
This is indeed the case. As the director of the production bureau, when proving our ability, what does it mean to say that we have filmed 200 TV series in the past two years? This is what we should do, but what if we say that we have broken the highest ratings record in the past two years?
, and broke the Dahe drama’s highest ratings record, but the style is completely different.
Regarding breaking the Taiga drama's highest ratings record, Shiga Ayumu didn't ask Chihara Rinto to do it himself, so naturally he couldn't say anything. Although he didn't dare to say anything, he immediately said: "We will do our best."
Shiga Ayuya knew that it was not easy to force this kind of thing. It was enough for Chihara Rinto to have this attitude. He looked at them for a while and said happily: "Chihara-sensei, and Murakami-san, I really did not misjudge you."
He only needs Chihara Rinto and others to do so much for him, as long as they help him paint a good performance, such as making movies with film companies, lobbying board members, colluding with bank and newspaper executives, etc., he will naturally
It will advance on its own without Chihara Rinto having to worry about it.
Now Qianhara Rinto agreed without even mentioning any conditions. He was really relieved and felt that recruiting him was not in vain. He immediately became more intimate and began to discuss details with the two of them - how to explain to the outside world, okay?
Make the results of the production bureau look particularly good? How do the program teams you control and influence speak out to support me? How do you create a public opinion atmosphere that favors me?
They talked together in detail for more than half an hour. Chihara Rin and Murakami Iori really hoped that he would take over smoothly and worked hard, but Shiga Ayumu was very particular and knew how to let the horse run smoothly.
You have to feed the beans as soon as you run, and when the discussion is over, you immediately start to draw the cake: "Okay, you will have to work hard next. I will leave the production bureau later, and I will rely on you to support me here. You must be mentally prepared.
"
Murakami Iori's ears turned red for a moment. This was the rhythm for Chihara Rinto to join the committee, and he also had to support the "director faction" to lead the production bureau. I thought a standing title would be indispensable, and the rewards can be said to be considerable.
That's a lot of money - at least it saves Rinto Chihara from having to wait for three to five years of qualifications. After all, it's only been a few months since he became a field specialist. How could he be promoted so quickly if he had no chance?
She has no ambition to control the TV station. Her biggest ambition in the workplace is to be able to speak with weight in the production bureau. Now it seems that she is only one step away. For a moment, she hopes that Shiga Ayumu will quickly become the director of the station.
Maybe, her expectations will not be lost to those of Ayumu Shiga!
