The caller was Teppei Nagano. He smiled and congratulated: "Teacher Qianhara, congratulations. You have made another good film. My ears are really pricking my ears hearing your name these days."
Qianhara Rinto smiled and said: "It's such an award, Nagano-senpai, it's just a temporary fluke."
"I believe this when it comes to others, but I don't believe it when it comes to you." Nagano Teppei continued to praise, very earnestly, "It can't be a fluke every time. Teacher Qianhara is indeed a talented person, so there is no need to be modest...
…”
Chihara Rinto listened with a smile and said a few polite words from time to time. He had been receiving such calls frequently in the past few days. He didn't think there was anything strange about it, but as he listened, he gradually felt that something was wrong - Nagano Teppei praised him for his time.
It's been too long. Considering the personal relationship between them, there is no need to be so polite.
He felt that Nagano Teppei probably had something to do. After Nagano Teppei said a few more words, he asked in a joking tone: "Please stop for a moment. If you continue to praise me, it will make you uncomfortable. But Nagano-senpai praises me like this, so he doesn't want to use me for anything."
Right? We are our own people, so we can just say what we have to say, there is no need to be so polite."
Nagano Teppei knew his character and stopped talking nonsense. The smile in his tone faded and he sighed: "There is indeed something, but I am really embarrassed to open my mouth like this..."
Qianhara Rinto smiled and said: "Nothing to be embarrassed about. You have helped me many times before. If there is anything I can do, please feel free to ask."
"Then I'll be honest, it's about Safuko." Nagano Teppei also admitted frankly, "She's not having a good time during this period. The ratings of her new drama are very poor, and the director is also publicly accusing her of being unprofessional. Both sides
The relationship is very tense. Now she regrets it and hopes you can help her, but she doesn't dare to come to you directly, so she came to me. You see..."
Chihara Rinto didn't expect that it was for this matter. After pondering for a moment, he politely said: "Miss Ueki, is she no longer an actress under my predecessor?"
"But I found her on the street and persuaded her to enter the entertainment industry." Nagano Nobutsuru whispered: "There is always a third part of the responsibility."
Chihara Rinto nodded silently. Nagano Teppei was good to his artists and had a soft heart. Safuko even quit his company and was willing to beg for help on her behalf, but...
He shook his head and said: "Logically speaking, I shouldn't refute my senior's reputation, but I really can't help with this matter. I can't use her anymore. Senior knows this. When we were filming "Oji", she not only angered me
, it also angered Ms. Murakami and the entire creative team, especially the director team from top to bottom. Everyone is very disgusted. Now even if I want to re-enable her, it will be difficult to convince so many people."
Nagano Teppei sighed and heard that Chihara Rinto just didn't want to help. Otherwise, with his personal prestige, it would not be much harder to re-appoint Safuzi than to force the creative team to become an actor. But he came here to ask for help, so
Unable to stand up, she could only sigh: "Then what should she do..."
Qianyuan Rinto was silent for a while, and suddenly asked: "Is she having difficulty in life?"
Nagano Teppei was stunned on the other end of the phone and said frankly: "That's not true. She was very popular before. She received many big endorsements, shot a lot of commercials, and participated in many commercial performances. She should have a lot on hand.
Qian, her current mental state is very depressed, and she is also drunk, and her whole person will be ruined. Teacher Qianyuan, although I shouldn't say such things, but...can't I really help her?"
Chihara Rinto paused for a moment and said softly: "No, Nagano-senpai. This is the entertainment industry, a more strict place than the workplace. Everyone must be responsible for their words and deeds. There will be no chance of regret here.
, you should know better."
"But she is still young..."
Chihara Rinto said directly before he finished speaking: "21 years old cannot be considered a child."
Nagano Teppei sighed deeply and stopped talking. He obviously still wanted to work hard, but he really wanted to help Safuzi - kindness does not control soldiers, and justice does not manage money. He is very soft-hearted and very righteous, but he is really not a person.
Good material to be president.
Of course, having said that, if he hadn't had such a personality, Chihara Rinto wouldn't have wanted to arrest him to help him in any matter, and the relationship between the two parties wouldn't have reached this stage.
The two were speechless for a while across the phone. Qianhara Rinto sighed: "Nagano-senpai, the choice she made was not something she could regret if she wanted to. It's useless to talk more now. Why don't you try to persuade her, since you have
When you have some money, run some industries well and then see if you can develop in other areas."
Safuko wanted money from the beginning. This was her own choice. She wanted to cause trouble because she could not freely shoot advertisements and do endorsements. Chihara Rinto was very impatient about this and was super angry, but he still left her with something afterward.
She had no time to make money, so if she didn't squander it, it wouldn't be a big problem to ensure a worry-free life for the rest of her life.
This is all he can do, and he feels worthy of Safiko, and there is really nothing else he can do to help.
Of course, she didn't want to help either. Safuko was clamoring to make money. She showed up late and left early, and didn't abide by the crew's discipline. She almost went on strike. The impact was extremely bad. After joining Sakurajima TV, many people in the team regarded him as a defector. So he
As the core of the team, I don’t want to set a precedent of returning after leaving and having trouble, and coming and going without any cost.
Love does not make things happen, and kindness does not lead to officialdom. Even if he consumes Safiko's acting career and turns her into a dazzling shooting star, there are some things that cannot be helped. You have to do whatever you want to do. There is no way to recover.
.
…
The topic ended here. Nagano Teppei finally gave up after being rejected continuously. He quickly adjusted his mood and chatted with Chihara Rinto about some industry gossip and the box office of the new movie.
He was an old man, and he eased off the unsuccessful plea while talking and laughing, and then ended the call to avoid hurting the friendship between the two parties. However, after hanging up the phone, he sighed longly, shook his head for a long time, and then pulled out the phone.
Called Safiko's personal mobile phone number.
The call was connected almost instantly. Safiko didn't even bother to say hello and said anxiously: "President, Mr. Qianhara... what did he say?"
Nagano Teppei sighed directly, first sighing half of Safuzi's heart, and then relayed Chihara Rinto's rejection. Safuzi listened blankly, and said absentmindedly: "He still refuses?"
It's really difficult for her now. Sakurajima TV invested heavily in the filming of "Mr. Onoda" and set a straight target. At the same time, it hit the only time slot in Kanto United that could barely be regarded as a prime time for word-of-mouth. However, the situation turned out to be seriously not as expected. The first two episodes were aired.
During the simulcast, the average time-sharing ratings once climbed to a fantastic start of 28.7%, but soon took a sharp turn. In the last five minutes of the second episode, the average time-sharing ratings had dropped to 20.33%.
After that, the situation became worse week by week, and the audience became more and more dissatisfied day by day. It felt that it was not even compared with "Oji", but even compared with normal TV series. I felt that the work was rushed a bit, the shooting quality was seriously lacking, and the actors' performance was also poor.
Well, as a result, the current average time-sharing ratings have dropped to 13.23%, and the big production has simply fallen past the halfway mark.
As for breaking the reputation prime time slot of Kanto Union on Friday night, it has become a joke. "Mr. Onoda" scared away Tokyo Broadcasting Teb, Asayuki and Fujisan's big productions in the same time slot, but its own performance was not good, and the audience all went to
He joined "Human Observation" and helped "Human Observation" achieve the best performance in history, with the ratings almost breaking 30%, becoming the only ace in Kanto United this season.
Once the ratings were not good and the acting was not good, Safuko's life became difficult.
The producer's attitude changed, and the director's face also changed, as if he wanted to eat her alive. Fans couldn't figure out where her stunning beauty had gone, and they felt that her agency loved money too much.
After spending all day cheating and buying peripherals, the collective was disappointed and began to disperse. In just two months, her fan club only had 210,000 people left, less than a quarter of its peak number.
She really had no choice but to feel very bad and under great pressure.
In order to relax, I had a party at night. However, I was late the next day and was photographed by the paparazzi looking drowsy. It became a scandal. Then because I was in a bad mood, I didn't wake up from the alcohol.
Tooru couldn't help but quarreled with the director publicly for a while, and was immediately publicly accused by the director in the newspaper of lacking professionalism, which made the situation even worse.
But when she thought it was all over, she noticed the news about "The Camera Can't Stop" and secretly watched it. Then she remembered the goodness of Chihara Rinto - she knew the heroine in the film, the silly close one.
Wei Tong, who wants good looks but not looks, and acting skills but not acting skills, was born to be a hard worker. In the end, she is just such a thing. As the movie became popular, she gradually became famous. More and more people are talking about her.
Some people even praised her as a energetic girl with superb acting skills.
She doesn't have superb acting skills, she just plays an idiot with no acting skills. It can only be said that she is acting in her true colors!
Safiko once again rekindled hope, hoping to return to the big ship of Chihara Rinto. Maybe the situation could be restored, but she felt that it would be useless to go to Chihara Rinto, so she could only shamelessly ask the former president.
result……
Still not working?
After muttering absently, she really couldn't bear the pressure now, so she burst into tears and cried: "President, please help me think of a way. If this continues, my career will be ruined. Please."
Please, if you have a good relationship with him, please help me ask again, help me ask again... otherwise my career will be ruined, please!"
It was really ruined. The show collapsed like this. Her performance was so bad that she was scolded by the director in the newspaper. How could there be a crew that wanted her? Not to mention the main lead, the supporting role was impossible, and the high salary was not to mention.
Basically, goodbye to endorsements, advertisements and commercial performances.
If you can't make money, what's the point of a career?
She burst into tears on the other end of the phone and repeatedly asked Teppei Nagano to beg Rinto Chihara again, which left Teppei Nagano speechless for a moment.
He only met Chihara Rinto at a young age. They had similar temperaments and a relatively good personal relationship. However, in just three years, Chihara Rinto completed a grassroots rise and became more and more influential. Now he can compete with the directors of major TV stations.
He was a big shot, even the director of the production bureau of the four major civil broadcasters would greet him with a smile and treat him politely, as if he were a distinguished guest. How could he, the president of a small entertainment agency, influence his thoughts?
If he doesn't relent, there's nothing he can do, it's almost a foregone conclusion.
Nagano Teppei sighed directly: "Don't you understand yet? It's too late now, and it's useless to beg. You...you left a very bad impression on him before. I've warned you before, Teacher Qianhara is very
He attaches great importance to ratings and the quality of his work. As long as you help him in this regard and shoot well, his character will definitely repay you. No matter what happens in the future, with this favor, he will never ignore you, but
You...sigh..."
Safuzi choked up and said: "I know now that I was wrong. I really know that I was wrong. As long as he is willing to use me again, I will definitely shoot well this time and stay on the set 24 hours a day. I will not go anywhere."
Nagano Teppei couldn't bear to hear the child cry, but he really had no choice but to repeat dullly: "It's too late..."
He can also understand Chihara Rinto's choice. Since he has the ability to make famous people casually, it doesn't matter who he chooses to be the heroine. Why use Safuko as the protagonist who disappointed him to the extreme? Isn't he afraid that she will become famous again?
Get up and do it all over again?
There is never a shortage of actresses in this circle, so there is no need for him to cause such trouble.
He paused and then said: "It's really late, but he also gave you a suggestion. I didn't say it just because I was afraid of disappointing you. Do you want to listen to it now?"
Safuzi immediately nodded fiercely, regardless of whether Nagano Teppei could see it or not, and said repeatedly: "I will listen, I will definitely listen!"
She really regretted it. If she had listened to Chihara Rinto earlier, filmed honestly and only used the interval between seasons to make money, it would have been better than now!
Nagano Teppei did nothing else today, so he sighed, and sighed again: "His suggestion is to use the money you earned from previous endorsements, commercial performances and advertising to run other businesses. I met you on the street when I met you
At that time, your dream was not to become an actor, but to open a convenience store and be the owner yourself! Now maybe it’s time to realize your real dream... This is the advice he gave you. Do you want to listen to it? It’s up to you.
Make up your mind, I'm old and can't help you any more."
As Safuko listened, she even stopped crying.
Doesn’t this mean that you are retiring from the entertainment industry in disguise? Then wouldn’t you become a shooting star?
How can that be okay, but I didn’t listen to him before, and now it’s like this...
I now have nearly 100 million yen on hand, as well as a luxury penthouse apartment in Roppongi, and a high-rise apartment in Minato City. In total, it is a huge sum of money that is difficult for others to earn in a lifetime. Maybe I should listen to his advice and be with the current situation.
The brokerage company terminated the contract and returned to normal life.
Convenience store owner?
…………
Chihara Rinto didn't care what would happen if Safuko was rejected. The fate between the two parties was over, and the road was in the sky. They each went their own way. He couldn't care at all. He was just curious after hearing about Safuko and started to check this season's program in front of the computer.
The battle situation - this season he mainly enjoyed family life with his girlfriend, and worried about collecting money to raise funds to realize his ambitions. At the same time, he also ran intensive training classes to abuse his subordinates, and later made independent films to subsidize the working group. I really didn't care much about this season.
The ratings battlefield, after all, he didn’t participate in the battle, so watching it was in vain.
He carefully browsed the home entertainment news for a while, and found that this season Sakurajima had a big production, but his overall strength was still dominant, and he still maintained the lead in entertainment-oriented programs, and he had already revealed a hint of the future Triple Crown winner.
——When you become a high-level executive of the Kanto Alliance, you must work on it first, and you cannot let it develop so smoothly!
However, the old salted fish nhk has a solid foundation, strong news credibility, and enough traditional and old programs, so it is still the all-day ratings champion.
As for Tokyo Broadcasting Teb and Fujisan, they each have a number of good programs. As for Asatsuki TV, the previous superior newspaper's overseas investment failed and it encountered the financial crisis. It has not been able to catch its breath so far.
Of course, it just hasn't caught up, the budget is insufficient, and the talent base of the production bureau is still there. This season, it still beats Kanto United to the ground - Kanto United's bones were broken before it even started this season, and it was released by the four major civilians.
After faintly targeting him, he was now like a dead dog, and had returned to his miserable state of being beaten and scolded at will.
It took three years of hard work and three months to return to before liberation...
Chihara Rinto was sighing while watching the online news when his cell phone rang. He glanced at the name and quickly picked it up.
This is an important call, and it’s different from just now!
