Michiko's so-called "newspapers are all praising you" is a bit exaggerated. Chihara Rinto searched for a long time in the newspapers before he found a piece of tofu. If he didn't pay special attention to the drama "The Amazing Story of the World", he would probably have just glanced at it.
It slipped through.
It's still not influential enough, and it can't compare with popular prime time dramas.
However, he still watched it very seriously. The Internet was not popular these days, and newspapers had a strong say. He needed to see how the media evaluated this drama.
He read the "Eastern United Economic News" first. This newspaper was originally dedicated to economic news, but it has developed into a comprehensive newspaper today. The main publication has dozens of pages, covering all aspects of Japan.
"Eastern Union" owns more than 30 kinds of magazines, periodicals and newspapers, a professional baseball team, a semi-professional baseball team, a professional football team, seven or eight publishing houses, and involves the upstream and downstream of the printing industry.
Various industrial companies are actually giants in the media industry.
Moreover, he also holds a large number of shares in Tokyo Broadcasting Teb, and is considered one of the bosses behind Tokyo Broadcasting Teb.
This boss also takes good care of his subordinates. In the lifestyle and entertainment section, he praised Tokyo Broadcasting TEB's new winter dramas, including the first season of "Amazing World", calling it a rare late-night drama in recent years, with five stars.
Good reviews and high expectations.
This small piece of tofu is full of praise, and the chief screenwriter Rinto Chihara is particularly highlighted. He thinks he is quite thoughtful and has found a new path for the development of late-night dramas, and he looks forward to his further activity in the screenwriting world.
.
Chihara Rinto didn't take it to heart. The media's words were just a few punctuation marks. If they pounced later, in order to cater to the readers, they would be the first ones to jump out and trample on people. Don't worry, absolutely.
That's right, what the media is best at is talking about itself.
He mainly wanted to see if the mainstream media had any negative comments about the show. He had always been a little worried that he would be acclimatized by copying like this, but after reading it carefully two or three times, he found that they were probably affiliated companies and the other party was merciful.
It is a genuine compliment, without any innuendo or anything like that.
He shook his head and was about to change the newspaper and read it again. This was not fair, but his eyes glanced at the headline of the Life Entertainment section: "The Most Potential New Drama of the Season: "Konosuke on the Fields"" and hesitated for a moment.
Just took a look.
The page, which is at least ten times larger than theirs, also praises non-stop, and the praise is quite strong. Basically, the newspaper is suggesting: Everyone, hurry up and follow this drama. This drama is super good. If you don't follow it, you will regret it!
The article is full of "the latest masterpiece by Mr. Terada Ryuji", "produced by director Ukyo Uchiyama", "co-starred by popular actors such as Akai, Nagaoka, Satomi, Utsumi and Hasebe", "supernova Kubota,
Eye-catching words such as "Izumi co-formed the Sengoku CP", and there is an exclusive interview with Ishii Jiro and the male and female protagonists at the back, as well as large color stills of the male and female protagonists Ryuji Kubota and Yuko Izumi.
This level of publicity... Chihara Rinto almost became depressed after just two glances.
Man, it would be a lie to say that he is not jealous. If this publicity condition can be given to him, he will not have to rack his brains to deceive Murakami and Fujii about what they are trying to do. He can just wait for word-of-mouth to ferment naturally.
But he was just jealous for a moment. Such a strong publicity definitely went beyond the category of "the boss takes care of his subordinates". There must be something fishy in it. In all likelihood, that boy Ishii had tampered with it for entertainment.
It's so normal in the industry, so ordinary viewers can still believe it.
This person does have some skills. No wonder training Murakami Iori is almost the same as training a grandson. Murakami Iori can’t get this kind of soft advertisement alone. This can’t be blamed on Murakami Iori. She has been in the industry for five or six years, but basically
She is just an assistant, so people won't take her seriously. Now in the field of producers, she is a pure newcomer without extensive connections and channels, which is completely understandable.
It will get better gradually. We are a team. If my companions are not active enough, I will push them. I will make up for the shortcomings of my companions. The greater the ability, the greater the responsibility. It is never the second line. Achieving the goal is the most important. Who do you care?
Who puts in more effort and who does less does what? Doing things is for a good result, not to save effort. This logic cannot be mistaken! Of course, if you put in more effort, you should get more afterward. This is also natural.
There he fell into thinking about entertainment products such as TV dramas. In addition to the quality itself, publicity is the most important. Otherwise, there is a high possibility of "applause but not success". But the producers have tried their best, but now the publicity just can't keep up.
So besides trying to get idols to participate in the show, is there any way to reverse this unfavorable situation?
Think, think hard, there are always more solutions than problems!
He thought there for a while, but couldn't figure it out. He planned to go home at night and continue thinking in front of the wall, and then changed a newspaper "Eastern United Scripture" which was not of much reference value.
The top major newspapers all have associated TV stations. Other newspapers are basically the same as the Eastern Union. When you catch the programs of your own TV station, you can just say: praise!
But there is no senseless slander against the programs of other TV stations. After all, people who read newspapers are not mentally retarded. Talking nonsense is definitely harmful to the authority and fairness of newspapers.
Qianhara Rinto flipped through and found that most of the lifestyle and entertainment pages of other newspapers mentioned "Wonderful Stories of the World". They were also small tofu cubes, and they were one size smaller than the tofu cubes in "Eastern Alliance".
But to be fair, in addition to praising the novelty of the script and the sincerity of the filming, I also pointed out that most of the actors were not very good. The unknown actor who played the role of "Meibo" was eye-catching, but the rest of his acting skills can only be described as
A so-so sound.
Another family didn't know what the disease was, so they dragged Takeda Ichima out and gave him a beating. They even mentioned his poor performance in his previous work without any clue. And one family seemed to particularly like "Shiqi".
, reported his real name "Rinto Chihara", thinking that if he can maintain the same level for one year and have another work in prime time, he has great hope of competing for the Best New Screenwriter Award in 1995.
Chihara Rinto was not surprised to be discovered as a newcomer. The TV station was like a sieve and gossip was flying all over the sky. Even if all his personal information was published in the newspapers tomorrow, he would not be surprised. But when he looked left and right, he was not surprised.
When I found negative reviews, the ratings for the drama were basically four stars (recommended to watch), and there was even one five stars (must watch), so that means...
The mainstream media seems to have no objections to this drama? Has this drama become accustomed to the local environment?
As for those star ratings, don't take it to heart. It took him a long time to look for this kind of thing. Such a small piece of tofu doesn't even deserve a photo, so it's useless!
But it’s okay, it’s good news. It can speed up the accumulation of word-of-mouth and make the snowball roll faster. Now every bit of publicity is valuable, and a fart is better than nothing.
He was relieved, and then he took some time to check out the details of the current winter drama season opening battle, which had nothing to do with him. Night dramas belonged to the eighth-line remote battlefield, and the TV stations did not invest any resources here. They were basically on guard duty in the mountains or on the battlefield.
It's a VIP viewing seat.
The season has just begun, and the main programs of each TV station have not yet been released, but it has already begun, kicking off the entire winter war.
Chaoyue TV currently has the best response. Its nine o'clock drama series won yesterday's ratings championship. It is just an old drama from the third season, with an average ratings of 19.8%.
Tokyo Broadcasting followed closely behind. The new drama "Konosuke on the Field" at 8 o'clock won the runner-up with an average ratings of 18.77%, and may unseat the champion at any time.
Fujisan TV did not launch its main program yesterday, but relied on its old 15-minute morning drama to get the third place with an average ratings of 15.7%.
The same is true for Sakurajima TV. Their main theater is no longer the same as yesterday, and they are still standing still. They won the fourth place with their old variety series.
The National Broadcasting Association (NHK) fell into fifth place, but said it didn't matter. They were the people's livelihood. They had all kinds of programs, all of which were mediocre. I had long been accustomed to them mainly doing news and criticizing the government.
The main work and entertainment content are relatively small, and the ratings will not suddenly increase until the election season.
Then these five companies on the list started to rotate, and finally a new name appeared at the twelfth place, Kanto United Television, which formed the Kanto Regional Broadcasting Network, but the response to the program was not very good, and many drama critics were saying that they
It's hopeless. Spend more time on producing programs instead of spending all day doing TV shopping.
Chihara Rinto took a look around and had a general understanding of the current ratings competition. "Shiqi" had an average ratings of 2.27% in the opening season. It didn't even make the hit list. It was really miserable.
Not even worthy of cannon fodder.
However, he discovered an interesting thing. Except for the newspaper "Eastern Alliance" which praised "Koknosuke on the Field", other newspapers had some slight opinions on this drama. There was even a column with particularly fierce words,
I only gave this drama one and a half stars. The original words are as follows: "One star for Mr. Terada and half a star for Director Uchiyama. This drama has been promoted for so long, but the result is very disappointing."
Is it a black fan?
Qianhara Rinto read the drama review carefully and found that this drama critic has good literary talent and excellent writing, but he does not seem to be an insider. Although he is desperately attacking the drama as not good, he cannot explain why it is not good, which is specious.
, it’s more like the fans are out of control.
He became curious and carefully read the various reviews of "Konosuke on the Field". He found that the other reviews were quite polite and only suggested that the first episode seemed a bit flat and that the protagonist was not eye-catching enough. However, he also expressed his appreciation for the screenwriter.
I have confidence in the director that this drama should still be watched. Now it is calm but contains an explosion, and it will definitely not disappoint in the future.
From this point of view, that column is probably a black fan. Chihara Rinto put down the newspaper and no longer pays attention to any works. Some people criticized it. This is normal, but it will not affect anything. Just rely on the 18.77% ratings of the first episode.
The ratings, this is enough to straighten the back, and the results of the first episode show that the audience base is so good that it will explode. As long as the quality can be maintained, let alone doubling the ratings in the future, try to touch the edge of 30% or
There is hope.
This is already showing signs of becoming a popular drama among the people, and even if the 2.27% of our own company triples, it will be just a cannon fodder at most, and don’t try to attract the limelight.
It's so hard to get started, it makes me want to curse!
"Master, you are in the newspaper, why are you not happy?" Michiko had actually been observing Rinto Chihara. She regretted showing her resentment just now and was going to wait for him to be happy and congratulate her again, but she didn't expect Rinto Chihara to see him.
When it was over, my eyebrows were knitted together, even a bit like I was worried.
She thought it was unreasonable. Ordinary people could be published in newspapers and praised, so they should laugh about it.
This unfortunate child has no interest in Chihara Rinto. Chihara Rinto doesn't have to hide anything when talking to her. She really sighed: "There's nothing to be happy about. I wasn't being polite before. This result is really mediocre."
He was so unlucky that he was struck by lightning and lost his girlfriend. Why should he change his ratings to someone who is not worthy of being cannon fodder? No one would be happy if he changed it!
Michiko was even more surprised, "Is it normal? My mother said it was already very good, and she asked me to please you more."
Qianhara Rinto couldn't help but laugh, "Will you please me?"
"Yes, otherwise you will drive me away."
Qianhara Rinto shook his head and said with a smile: "Just stay peacefully. You don't have to do anything extra. You can stay here for a short period of time."
After a pause, he asked curiously: "Next time you audition, will you still pretend to be stupid?"
