"The above is a summary of the recent ratings." Iori Murakami said excitedly, "The expectation that the average ratings for the whole day will increase by 5% may be achieved at any time in the next few days. The response to summer programs is generally excellent.
"
This is obviously good news. With good ratings, advertisers are happy, franchise stations are happy, shareholders are happy, employees are also happy, and the directors of the Kanto United Council are even happier. They all showed kind smiles to Murakami Iori.
, some people even applauded gently - in less than a month, the decline of Kanto United in the past half year has been completely reversed, and it has begun to gain the upper hand in industry competition. It is indeed not easy.
Murakami Iori finished her report, answered a few more questions, and then exited the conference room. She was here to report. It was inconvenient for the directors to ask Chihara Rinto, the second largest shareholder representative, repeatedly, let alone ask some questions.
Tricky question, I can only let her, a little executive, represent the production bureau.
She went out to wait, and then the directors turned their attention to the biggest contributor, Chihara Rinto. Shiga Ayumu's eyes were even more pleased, and he smiled directly and said: "Thank you for your hard work, Chihara."
A group of directors were very supportive and began to praise:
"It's really hard work."
"The ability is top-notch. The production bureau really deserves a professional like you to be in charge."
Qianyuan Rinto said modestly: "No matter what, you guys have given me too much praise, it's all what I should have done."
Where is this? His goal is to increase Kanto United’s viewership share to more than 35% within two years. That is, for every 100 people watching TV, more than 35 of them must be loyal viewers of Kanto United - six
The large broadcasting networks basically capture all the viewers in Japan. In theory, each network should get about 17% of the viewing share, but he does not want to engage in egalitarianism. No one has joined forces with Kanto to achieve equalization before, so he directly plans to get twice as much.
Whoever will be devastated by the rise of the Kanto Alliance is none of his business.
No matter what he thinks, the directors are still very enthusiastic. More and more people are beginning to express goodwill to him, especially the representatives of the franchise stations. The full recovery of Kanto's joint production capabilities is great news for them, at least they don't have to.
I'm worried about the ratings - they look at Chihara Rinto with extremely kind eyes, like looking at a hen that lays golden eggs.
After Qianhara Rinto was polite for a long time, the regular board of directors meeting continued. An executive from the sales department came in and began to report on the recent work of the sales department.
Everything is going well, the ratings are good, the work of all departments of the TV station is easy to do, and the sales department is also very ambitious. As expected, it has set its sights on the newly developed tokusatsu drama by the production bureau, and said that it is contacting the toy manufacturer and is preparing to fully implement it.
I made a lot of money by selling peripheral products in this area. Then I reported on the sales of pots and pans. Compared to the first half of the year, the sales volume increased significantly. I couldn't hide the joy on my face. I made a lot of requests by the way.
Chihara Rinto also did not comment on this. His business scope is only in the production bureau, and he is not even the deputy director at present. Interfering with other departments may easily cause misunderstandings, and it is unnecessary at the same time.
He just followed the crowd and raised his hands. Regarding some conflicts between departments, as long as they had nothing to do with the production bureau, he didn't say anything at all. But he soon discovered something different. Many directors would ask for his opinion when arguing.
——This phenomenon did not happen before the results came out.
This is obviously a good thing, indicating that his plan is going smoothly and he has begun to gain a foothold in the council.
…………
The situation was excellent. There were not many topics on the board of directors this time and it ended relatively early. After the meeting, Rinto Chihara took Iori Murakami and walked back, followed by Mitsuae Anton and a group of secretaries.
Murakami Iori asked as he walked: "Qianhara, did Director Shiga say anything to you alone this time?"
Qianhara Rinto shook his head: "Still not."
He reorganized the production bureau and established a new department, which obviously affected some gray interests of the director faction. Originally, he thought that Shiga Ayumu would at least have a talk with him and give him a subtle nod, but after waiting for so long, nothing happened.
wait until.
Murakami Iori thought for a while and asked: "Has your attitude changed?"
Qianhara Rinto shook his head again, "Same as before."
Murakami Iori couldn't figure it out either, and pondered: "Did he acquiesce?"
Qianhara Rinto said indifferently: "That's right? If the ratings were not good, he might talk to me and ask me to restore it to my original state, but now that the ratings are very good, he probably won't be able to open his mouth even if he wants to say it."
Iori Murakami was not as optimistic as him, and said worriedly: "I'm just afraid that he will be unhappy. After all, you have reduced his income."
"It's just a small amount of money. Don't worry. As long as it doesn't threaten his status, he won't do anything to me based on his character. After all, he also needs my support." Chihara Rinto didn't take it to heart at all. He just felt that
Iori Murakami loves to worry all day long.
Iori Murakami said nothing more, and said helplessly: "As long as you have an idea." As she spoke, they had arrived downstairs in the main building, and she said, "Okay, since there is nothing else, I will go to Qiu
It’s Ye Yuan.”
Qianhara Rinto looked at his watch, thought for a while and said, "I still have some time, so I went over to take a look. I haven't looked at the situation over there for a long time."
Murakami Iori did not object. Chihara Rinto sent away Anton Mitsue and others, followed Murakami Iori into the car, and asked: "Is the situation over there okay now?"
Murakami Iori smiled happily and said: "It's much better than expected. In more than three months, we have already developed a very strong group of fans. The performance theater can basically be filled up, and the income and expenditure are close to balance."
As long as the development goes smoothly, Chihara Rinto nodded and started to ask about the details. He didn't have that much time to wander around Akihabara and could only read reports every day, but it was always good to have the opportunity to hear what the general manager said personally.
Murakami Iori talked to him all the way, and he gave him some random advice from time to time, and soon he arrived at the "50 Greatest Theaters in Tokyo".
Compared with more than three months ago, this place has changed a lot. The main reason is that the flow of people has increased significantly. People are constantly coming in and out of the theater door. Rinto Chihara got out of the car and followed Iori Murakami in - inside the hall
The new song of "Tokyo 50" was playing, many young men were buying peripherals and CDs, and some were talking to the trainees who were acting as sales assistants. The atmosphere was quite good.
These are all the hard work of Murakami Iori. Although she did not do it personally, she spends at least six hours a day on the idol league. Anyway, she is much better than Chihara Rinto, a guy who runs away as soon as he comes up with ideas.
Now I am very happy to see it, and I can't help but whisper: "It's a tower of sand, the profit rate is extremely high, it's a bit like an illegal business."
Qianhara Rinto nodded. The average cost of printing a poster is less than five yen, but if you sell it, it starts at two hundred yen, so there is no room for bargaining. The rest of the peripherals are similar, they are all low-cost and high-value-added things. As long as they are sold,
If fans are willing to buy, it is not difficult for idol alliances to make money - idols are sold in bulk, and that's how they should be sold.
He walked around the hall, observing the expressions of the fans, eavesdropping on their discussions, and judged that what Murakami Iori said was true, and that the previous daily reports were not false. At least the Tokyo 50 women's team was developing well.
It feels like we are almost reaching the half-year plan in three months.
But as he walked around, he soon discovered that many people were walking towards the side hall, and he couldn't help but ask Murakami Iori: "What activities are there?"
When it came to a specific event, Murakami Iori didn't know. He directly reached out to a staff member and asked in a low voice, and then replied: "It's a handshake meeting."
Qianhara Rinto said without hesitation: "Go and have a look."
…………
The order in the side hall is strict, one girl has one table, and there are many people queuing in front. The popularity is clear at a glance. They are all waiting to shake hands with their favorite idols - shaking hands is a way to express affection in Japan, Chihara Rin
Sometimes people are recognized and asked to shake hands by fans.
Of course, the handshake is not free. Murakami Iori introduced: "This is a handshake event for new songs. As long as you purchase the new single CD, you can get a handshake ticket."
Qianhara Rinto nodded, pointed to a queue and asked, "Who is this?"
He was standing at the door of the side hall. The idols were all blocked by the queue. It was hard to tell who was who for the moment. This queue was the most exaggerated. Although it was called the side hall, it was specially built for organizing fan activities. In fact,
It's not much smaller than the main hall. It's an exaggeration to have the queue forming a "back" shape, but this one is even more exaggerated - this queue is so long that it's rolled up into mosquito coils, and it looks like a big lump.
Murakami Iori waved her hand gracefully, and immediately a staff member came forward and said respectfully: "It's Gomi Sanchiyo."
Qianyuan Rinto couldn't help laughing and said: "It's her!"
When checking the quality of the program, I had an impression of this girl. She is timid, naive, and has little athletic talent. She either lies on the ground crying or rolls like a ball. She is also very good at swaying on the ground like maggots.
, it doesn’t matter if you don’t want to be unimpressive - Tokyo 50’s variety show takes turns, and she is one of the members with the highest frequency, mainly because the audience likes to see her unlucky.
Overall, regardless of whether this girl can be a good idol, she has a strong sense of variety.
Iori Murakami was also impressed by her and said with a smile: "This child works very hard and performs well. Now the publicity resources are given priority to her."
Chihara Rinto didn't care about this kind of detail. He nodded casually, pointed to the most remote corner of the hall, and asked, "Is that Tanahashi Miki?"
Murakami Iori looked over from a distance and said uncertainly: "It seems to be a newly promoted member. Do you know him?"
Qianhara Rinto has a good memory. He came to the theater for inspection for the first time more than three months ago. He was kidnapped by this girl before he entered the door. He tried to trick him into going to the rescue. At that time, she was still a trainee who had just been recruited from college.
I was born, but I didn’t expect that I would already have a place in the group, and I would have an exclusive small table in the side hall.
He nodded and said, "I don't really know you, but I met you last time I came here."
Murakami Iori glanced at Miki Tanahashi again, "It seems that she has just been promoted and is not very popular yet."
The members of Tokyo 50 are not fixed. On the contrary, the selection mechanism is very cruel. If she cannot gather a certain amount of popularity in a short period of time and fails to show her potential, the company will replace her without hesitation and return her to a candidate.
, promoting new people to take her place - this selection mechanism determines that idols must do everything possible to please fans and become what fans expect, otherwise they will be thrown into the trash can like used toilet paper.
She doesn't pay much attention to Miki Tanahashi. When Tokyo 50 was first established, the personnel changes were extremely fast. Who knows if she can show potential as a full member, and only if she shows potential will it be worth her to take a closer look.
, but Chihara Rinto was very interested in Tanahashi Miki and said with a smile: "I think she is quite popular. Have you noticed that people who shake hands with her stay for a long time."
Murakami Iori took a closer look and found something strange. The queue in front of Tanahashi Miki was extremely short, but it didn't move for a long time, and she immediately realized, "Her supporters bought more CDs individually, and they got the
She also has more handshake tickets, so you can hold her hand and talk with her for a long time?”
"It should be like this, otherwise the people lining up behind would have protested." Chihara Rinto thinks Tanahashi Miki is quite interesting. At least she can deceive people. She has fewer fans and fewer fans, but she is more loyal and can provide more strength as a single person.
In terms of combat power, she may not be lower than Sanchiyo Gomi - she hasn't accumulated enough time, but for a long enough time, she might be able to kill Sanchiyo Gomi.
Maybe we should give her more chances, she seems to be a good prospect...
When Chihara Rinto checked the variety show, he didn't remember her. It must be that she had just been promoted and hadn't gotten her turn yet. He was considering appointing her to star in the next recording, but he hadn't made up his mind yet when he suddenly noticed a wheelchair passing by.
, and went straight to the corner of Pengqiao Meixi.
Many people looked over strangely and found a young man in his twenties sitting in a wheelchair. He seemed to have some kind of disease. His legs were very thin and his head was tilted. He was being held by a middle-aged woman who looked like his mother.
pushing.
Soon, staff came up to inquire and began to provide help, and some people rushed to Tanahashi Miki and whispered a few words to her. After hearing this, Tanahashi Miki was stunned, and immediately bowed and apologized to the people in line, and soon
He left his small stage and went directly to the wheelchair.
The sick young man was very happy when he saw her coming. He struggled to sit up straight and wanted to hand over the handshake coupon. Miki Tanahashi quickly took the initiative to hold his hand, and then knelt down next to the wheelchair.
, tilt your little face up and listen to the other person’s words gently.
The man's voice was very low and vague, but she was not impatient at all. She tried her best to explain, and then answered questions and answers. She was smiling and spoke softly, as if she and the sick man were the only ones here.
young man.
They somewhat disturbed the order in the side hall, but no one cared. Instead, the people in the normal queue were trying to move quietly, trying to make more space for them, for fear of affecting their conversation, and more people's faces
The same gentle look appeared on his face, silently watching all this.
This is the meaning of idols. It provides spiritual support when you are lonely and alone, which is really heartwarming.
Chihara Rinto looked at it from a distance for a while, then asked Murakami Iori in a low voice: "Is it arranged?"
Murakami Iori glanced at him in surprise and said angrily: "No."
In this line of work, she will inevitably have to do some exaggerated soft propaganda, secretly send people to do shows, etc., but she is not unscrupulous enough to take advantage of people who are seriously ill, and she is not shameless enough to take advantage of the pure kindness in people's hearts.
And Qianhara Rinto also quickly reacted - it must have been an emergency, it was really arranged, this scene should have been arranged for Gomi Sanchiyo, that way the benefits would be greater.
He directly ordered: "Don't take the initiative to publicize this matter, so as to avoid unnecessary misunderstandings, and... give Pengqiao certain resources, she has a future."
