Chihara Rinto came to visit, and gave priority to visiting Yoshizaki Shingo's wife Eriko. After all, she was the most innocent victim. However, after the two sides chatted for a while, something beyond his expectation was that Eriko was not because of
Shingo Yoshizaki cheated on her and was sad and angry. Mainly because he was angry that he had real feelings for her and actually claimed that he and the actress "got along very well" and that it felt like "it was too late to meet each other".
If it was just a one-night stand, she wouldn't care at all. Instead, she would protect her husband and the family in front of the media. But when Shingo Yoshizaki came back to apologize that night, he said that she was really depressed and felt that life was worthless, so she couldn't think about it.
Contemplating suicide.
But even when Shingo Yoshizaki made her angry, she very politely replaced her husband, expressed her uneasiness for causing trouble to the TV station, apologized repeatedly, and fully fulfilled her obligations as a wife.
Chihara Rinto didn't expect her to think about the problem in this way, and the words of comfort she prepared were basically aborted. In the end, she could only leave the gift, briefly asked her to take care of herself, and then went to find Shingo Yoshizaki.
To be honest, he has been in Japan for three or four years. He has heard of similar things before, but now that he has seen it with his own eyes, it is still a bit difficult to understand. It is no wonder that people say that it is easier to find a Japanese wife to live happily after marriage.
, I'm sorry, as long as you don't change your mind, your wife doesn't care what you do outside, and she won't be like a Chinese girl who will suspect that her boyfriend is bald when she comes back and looks through her boyfriend's clothes and can't find a single long hair.
With this attitude, it’s probably very difficult to quarrel after marriage. A marriage without quarrels has a higher probability of being happy, right?
He thought all the way to the attic, where Yoshizaki Shingo had been introspecting for the past few days. When Chihara Rinto saw him, he found that he was unshaven and suddenly looked ten years older, so he sat cross-legged next to him and stayed with him.
She looked at the wall with him for a while and asked, "Have you thought about what to do next?"
Shingo Yoshizaki used to have a very out-of-touch personality, and he and Haruki Tsumura would often argue over various things. After this time, he seemed ten times more steady and serious after causing a big incident. After a moment of silence, he did not answer, but asked: "What about the ratings?"
How are you doing?"
Chihara Rinto didn’t hide anything from him and said directly: “The latest episode’s time-sharing dropped by an average of 2.61%.”
If a scandal occurs on the crew, it will naturally cause dissatisfaction among some viewers. It is expected that the ratings will drop. Fortunately, most viewers feel that having an affair between a director and an actor is not particularly new. It is bad, but not bad enough.
It was enough to kill him with just a few curse words, and he didn’t plan to boycott the series in full. At last, he didn’t cause any bigger problems - it could also be that the hot spots were shifting too quickly and public opinion hadn’t reached that stage yet.
Of course, the losses are not limited to ratings. For example, advertisers are very dissatisfied, and even the operations department is protesting. Due to the decline in performance of the crew, their salaries and bonuses will also be affected to a certain extent, and there are many more.
However, Chihara Rinto now stands at a high position and feels that these losses are acceptable, and they are not the worst anyway. However, Yoshizaki Shingo's expression turned a little gloomy, and he moved his body, knelt down and bowed deeply: "This time
I was really wrong, I'm sorry, please forgive me."
The time-sharing average of 2.61% is not a small number. If you look at it as a single crew, it can be regarded as a heavy loss. It may take two or three episodes to make up for it, and it may even cause the series to start to decline.
And this problem happened to be caused by him, the great director in charge of filming, for no apparent reason. He couldn't help but feel ashamed.
Qianhara Rinto shook his head: "You shouldn't tell me this, you should tell the crew."
Yoshizaki Shingo stopped talking. Only now did he understand one thing deeply. Why did Chihara Rinto always have a rigid face in the past, acting like an actor, and he never went to invite guests to dinner? He seemed particularly unhuman, and looked like a smelly and hard lump
Like a stone - as a person in charge, if you are careless in your words and deeds, you will destroy not only your own efforts, but also the efforts of everyone on the crew.
But now he understood that it was a little late, and apologizing was even more useless. He could only lower his head and remain silent.
Chihara Rinto didn't say anything more on this point, and asked the previous question again: "What are your plans in the future?"
Shingo Yoshizaki has thought carefully about it in the past few days, and said directly: "I plan to stay at home for a while to calm down, recharge, or go hiking to see the natural scenery, and then think about what to do, but I will not give up the director's career.
Yi Xing. As for the matter with Saeko, I plan to..."
Qianhara Rinto interrupted him with a wave of his hand, "I came here just to be afraid that you would make a wrong step and become discouraged and decadent in the future. Now that you know what you are doing, you still want to continue working as a director in the future. I can tell.
That's all. You can make up your own mind about your private matters. You don't need to tell me, and I can't provide you with any advice."
After a pause, he then said, "Okay, the matter is over. I can't speak for you now because the situation does not allow it. Please be patient and recuperate at home for a while. I will help you keep an eye on the opportunity to come back and try to come back as soon as possible."
Yoshizaki Shingo lowered his head and said: "Yes, Ms. Murakami came here to explain it. I understand the specific reason. I have also reflected on it myself. It is true that I was too frivolous and failed to take on the responsibilities I should bear, so... I
It’s your own fault, please don’t take it to heart.”
Chihara Rinto nodded, feeling that this time Yoshizaki Shingo's misfortune was not entirely a bad thing. At least he looked more stable. After deep introspection, his temperament began to be restrained, and he seemed to be able to work hard in his career.
.
To be honest, having this kind of internal improvement is more valuable than improving the technical level in a short period of time. For this reason, being unlucky for a period of time is not a loss.
He patted Shingo Yoshizaki on the back hard, and then left - he had said what needed to be said, and the boy also reflected on it quite clearly. No need to be more relieved, just take care of yourself first!
…………
Shingo Yoshizaki's "incestuous affair" is over for the time being. Chihara Rinto couldn't figure out who was so full that he plotted against Shingo Yoshizaki, or it should be said that it suppressed the ratings of "5 to 9"
, he could only order Shintaro Yasuda to stare at the tabloid reporter who broke the news, and at the same time program of "5 to 9", and slowly pursue it - he could not protect Shingo Yoshizaki. It was for the sake of the overall situation, but it did not mean that he had to admit it.
This dumb guy is a loser.
Beating a dog depends on the owner, not to mention that Yoshizaki is not a dog, but his loyal subordinate.
Within the production bureau, his ruthless style of not giving in at all has also shaken the atmosphere. Yoshizaki Shingo is the most senior member of the Qianyuan faction. He has always followed Ma Hou loyally and even used the title of the creative team.
I tried to be the leading actor because of my identity, but I didn't expect that Chihara Rinto didn't miss the old relationship at all and gave up right away.
Suddenly, even the most humble Hitomi Konoe became a lot more honest. When he came to report to work, he would carefully study his face for a while, for fear that he would be escorted out to chop off the dog's head accidentally.
Even members of the Qianyuan faction have begun to reflect on whether they have drifted, whether they have inflated recently, whether they have done something wrong, let alone ordinary cadres and staff. The production bureau's operating efficiency has once again reached a new level.
On the steps, various hidden dangers began to disappear without waiting for cleaning, and the combat effectiveness was further improved, which quickly smoothed out the impact on Friday night's ratings share. The ratings for the rest of the days rose slowly and steadily, desperately attracting viewers.
Prepare for further offensive next season.
Time has quickly arrived in mid-August, and the production bureau is running more and more smoothly. Those who are involved in bureaucracy, those who are too busy with personnel, those who take advantage of others, and those who are dawdling have been almost completely eliminated. Those who cannot be eliminated temporarily are also collectively
After taking a breath, the production bureau showed a rare display of vitality, which was even stronger than when the channel was founded.
This time was also the day when the official director of the production bureau, Takashi Kawaguchi, retired. Kanto United Television held a grand retirement party for him in accordance with tradition. Shiga Ayumu and the board of directors also corrected Chihara Rinto and made him the director in accordance with the prior agreement.
The new director of the production bureau was appointed, and a grand inauguration meeting was held for him according to tradition - in fact, the two meetings were held together. Anyway, it was the replacement of old and new directors, so it happened to be at the same time.
After the newspaper faction gave in completely, Director Kawaguchi Takashi was already in a bad mood. If he hadn't been a veteran of Taiwan's founding and had good personal relationships with many big bosses in the Nikkei newspaper group, he might not have been allowed to retire with dignity.
Given the opportunity, it is naturally even worse now. The directors and middle-level and high-level cadres who attended the party did not come close to him. At most, they just looked at the past friendship and came to reminisce about the past and thank him.
Let’s take a look at the care we received back then.
Kawaguchi Takashi didn't care either. He didn't like to fight for power, otherwise he wouldn't have been sent to the Kanto Alliance. Who knows if the Kanto Alliance could be implemented at that time.
Instead, he took the initiative to talk to Chihara Rinto, sincerely hoping that he would make the Kanto Alliance bigger and stronger, which made Chihara Rinto feel quite embarrassed - Chihara Rinto was trying to rectify the atmosphere and sent Nishijima Rumi to the old man's house to threaten him.
He asked him to spit out his shares in affiliated companies and was not allowed to provide private help to affiliated companies.
Now he didn't take it to heart at all, let alone caused any trouble for him. Qianhara Rinto felt that the other party had a good temper and was worth getting to know, and he wanted to make up the relationship, so he introduced him to his Anxin Investment Company, which is White Horse Private Equity.
fund, and asked him if he wanted to buy a few shares and try to make some money with us - he was never opposed to making profits, but was opposed to poaching corners of production companies regardless of the overall situation. Now White Horse Private Equity is preparing to make money in the US stock market.
It has nothing to do with the production bureau, and bringing this old man along was purely incidental.
He was indifferent, but Kawaguchi Takashi was very interested. It was rumored that Chihara Rinto's funds came from the Hakuba family, but he had more information, and he knew that Chihara Rinto had a good way of making money, and he might be an investment genius.
, he was very happy to say that he would contact Shintaro Yasuda later, but this was not the main purpose of his private chat with Rinto Chihara.
He mainly wanted to hand over several of his old subordinates to Chihara Rinto, hoping that Chihara Rinto could treat them fairly and justly, and they would also follow Chihara Rinto's lead in the future - he was not blind, Chihara Rinto was in
Crazy tossing the top management of various factions in the production bureau, but he can understand who is really for everyone's good, and he also understands who has a better future with him, but he still wants to hand over his small power to Qianhara Rinto, so as not to return to the newspaper faction and look back.
Those affected by chaos will not end well.
Chihara Rinto didn't refuse, he just accepted it with a smile, promising that he would be suitable according to his abilities, and then Kawaguchi Takashi went to find someone else to say goodbye with satisfaction. His era was over. He worked in newspapers for half his life, and then came to a TV station to start from scratch. Seriously speaking,
He has more feelings for the TV station, and he has nothing to worry about with a junior like Chihara Rinto who is determined and capable to take over.
After he left, Shiga came over, looked at his back, raised his glass to Chihara Rinto, and said with a smile: "Kawaguchi-senpai has always admired you, and I have said good things to you in front of Ohashi many times before.
"
Qianhara Rinto smiled and agreed: "He is indeed a good person."
"He is a nice person." Shiga pointed out, "Qianyuan, you should learn from him and don't be so impatient."
Qianhara Rinto was slightly surprised, "Impatient means..."
"Many people have come to me to complain recently. You should know that you don't have to be so hasty or be so strict. Why don't you take your time with many things? It's not like you don't have time."
Qianhara Rinto raised his eyebrows and explained euphemistically: "It's not that I'm strict, nor that I'm too impatient. The next two years will be a critical period for the joint development of Kanto, and the production bureau is the top priority. The plan I gave you before
There are detailed instructions…”
Before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by Shiga Ayumu. Shiga Ayumu smiled and said: "Okay, okay, I'm not blaming you. I'm relieved that you are in charge of the production bureau. I just want to remind you not to be so strict."
.Everyone works so hard. It’s not a big problem to earn a little more in private to support the family. If the water is clear, there will be no fish. But I won’t force you to do this. You have just become the director and want to cultivate some caring cadres. I can
I understand, just remember not to go overboard."
Qianhara Rinto was speechless for a moment. He was really not engaged in a personnel struggle, let alone cultivating cronies. He shook his head and said: "Thank you for your understanding, but I changed some cadres for the next plan, not for anything else.
"
Shiga Ayumu obviously didn't believe it, and said with a smile: "I briefly read the plan, so I said that Qianhara you are a little too impatient. The current situation is already very good, we still have a lot of time, just develop slowly,
You are suddenly involved in the publishing industry, and you also plan to be involved in the Internet, newspapers and magazines, etc., the step is really too big, but it is not your fault, young people are more ambitious, I understand, but it really doesn’t have to be like this
urgent."
Chihara Rinto couldn't help but start to frown. He was a bit doubtful whether Shiga Ayumu had carefully read the plan he submitted. He said directly: "This is not urgent, but time will not wait for us. If we want to develop, we must start to transform into multiple directions.
, we can’t just stick to the TV station, otherwise in the future we may just be a simple content provider, in the lower reaches of the industry, with almost no room for movement.”
"We have a very close relationship with the Nikkei Newspaper Group. There is no need to get involved in other aspects. Just rely on them. You should focus on making good TV programs and don't think so much about other things."
Shiga Ayumu didn't listen carefully at all, and didn't want to talk more about it. When he saw someone waving to him, he immediately patted Chihara Rinto on the shoulder and smiled, "Okay, Chihara, I think you are just too busy.
That’s why you’ll be thinking wildly all day long, worrying about this and that. When the ratings stabilize, I’ll take you to play golf. Now that you’re also a senior executive at the TV station, you can let your subordinates do more of what you have to do, so you don’t have to be so harsh on yourself.”
After he finished speaking, he left, leaving only Chihara Rinto standing there with a serious face. Murakami Iori immediately came over and asked with concern: "What did he say to you? I think you two are arguing, right?"
Didn’t someone go to complain to him?”
Chihara Rinto looked at Shiga Ayumu chatting and laughing loudly with a newspaper director, and whispered: "Yes, but he seems to have misunderstood our intention to reorganize the production bureau, thinking that we are just fighting for power.
I don’t really care, but…”
Murakami Iori put down her snack slightly, but seeing Chihara Rinto pondering, she couldn't help but ask: "But what?"
Qianhara Rinto retracted his gaze, feeling very disappointed. He didn't want to elaborate, so he shook his head and said, "It's nothing."
If Shiga Ayumu is willing to continue moving forward, he will be very happy. He never minds sharing the fruits of victory, but now it seems that Shiga Ayumu just wants to maintain the status quo and has completely lost his enterprising spirit. This is a bit disturbing.

Anyone who wants to stop before reaching the end is not his partner.
