The manga publishing industry in Japan is very prosperous, and the market has a very wide audience. People generally have the habit of reading comics to kill their free time. They often buy a copy before getting on the train, and then throw it into the trash can after reading it - a complete fast-selling product, you can read it as you like.
Suidi is of the same nature as the Chinese Internet writing in later generations.
This is actually a large IP library with a natural audience base, which is very suitable for film and television adaptations. However, it was basically unsystematic before the 21st century. Not many people paid attention to it. At most, animations were made occasionally, and live-action dramas were rarely filmed.
.
The concept of IP library probably became widely known only when Disney swallowed up Marvel and began to push superheroes to the big screen.
Since he can see the future, Chihara Rinto feels that it is necessary to take the initiative and integrate the comic publishing industry into the Kanto United production system. This means controlling the source of high-quality IP. Not only can he use it at will, but he can also deny it to others.
Not only comics, but also mystery novels, light novels and other popular adaptation projects are actually in the hands of publishing houses - the works, authors and audiences accumulated by publishing houses in the past few decades are a huge intangible asset.
Wealth can be said to be a huge rich mine. All you have to do is dig it.
In particular, the publishing industry is currently in a period of weakness. The second release of bad books and the financial crisis have hit them hard. This will not continue until the full rise of girls' comics, so now is a good time to start.
It's a pity that Shiga Ayumu disagrees. This guy only has his sights on becoming one of the five major commercial TV stations. He has no idea of surpassing them. He seems to be quite satisfied with the current status quo and doesn't want to cause unnecessary trouble. Kanto United TV Station refuses to comprehensively
Cooperation with the publishing industry is a bit difficult based on Chihara Rinto's own words - he cannot promote Kanto United to acquire the IP libraries of major publishing houses, nor can he promote cross-exchange of shares between Kanto United and large publishing houses.
What's even more terrible is that now he himself doesn't have that much money to buy or invest in shares privately.
Of course, it is not impossible to force the plan to be put to the council for a vote. He has the qualifications, but to force a vote without the consent of the leader of his own faction would basically mean breaking up with Shiga Ayumu. At least he would be quite unhappy, and
It's two different things to rectify the situation within the scope of the production bureau and affect some of his gray income.
It's too early to fall out with Shiga Ayumu. Even if Chihara Rinto really wants to be the director of this station, he really wants to be able to directly use all the resources of Kanto United, and he really wants to arrange everything as soon as possible before the end of the golden age of television, but it's a pity that it can't be done.
He could only endure it for the time being, and took "Boys Over Flowers" to five large comic book publishers to seek cooperation. That is, he would film dramas here and ask them to publish comics simultaneously. At the same time, he also wanted to draw from their comic libraries and novels.
Select outstanding works from the library for further film and television development.
I can only take my time. Now my performance has just started to improve, and I don’t have enough capital to speak loudly.
…………
He went back to managing his production bureau and occasionally paying attention to the development of the idol league. The time soon came to September, which was the last month of the summer season.
This season, Kanto United not only fully regained its territory and re-consolidated its viewership base, but also grabbed a lot of viewership share from its peers. TV stations such as Sakurajima and Tokyo Broadcasting System TEB also had no good solutions - the ratings competition is so cruel.
, viewers can tell which channel has better programs, and no one can stop them from changing the channel.
People in the industry are quite surprised. Chihara Rinto has proven that he is the leading creator in the industry. He has set historical records to the point where his colleagues are immediately disgusted after seeing them. No one can doubt him, but they did not expect that after he became the director, he would
Still so powerful - a good creator is often not a good manager. After all, there are many people waiting for him to stumble in his new position. Unexpectedly, the ratings of Kanto United are not the same.
It's generally good, but it's only been one season and it's showing signs of completely suppressing the four major commercial channels.
It’s not like the TV series has forcibly raised the average ratings for the whole day. It’s not like the ratings of Kanto United’s current variety shows are increasing day by day. They are also increasing every day of the week. Even the night variety shows
There are no exceptions, and news programs have also taken the top spot among private TV stations, only losing to NHK TV station. But it is unfair to compare news with NHK TV station. NHK can put cameras in the Congress, but Kanto United does not.
Qualification, at best go to a press conference.
The performance of Zi Gongxiang program is also very impressive. Several animations and tokusatsu dramas have become popular. Not only have they become the favorites of primary school students, but also many adults are addicted to them. Especially the peripheral sales are quite good. I feel that this is still good.
It hasn't been out for long, and it seems to have paid back.
The situation of other local programs is similar, the ratings are more or less rising. Even the advertisements of Guandong United are more interesting than the advertisements of other TV stations, especially since Guandong United has recently begun to pay attention to the placement of public service advertisements, and they can even shoot them.
It's very interesting and excellent, and it has gained a lot of favor among the public and civil society groups.
Only then did everyone realize that Kanto United had really changed a lot. Its production department could be said to be completely new. Its performance had improved across the board. It was not just the TV series, but all aspects had become more active, more proactive, and more aggressive.
Sex.
Some people are happy and believe that this situation is beneficial to the broadcast industry as a whole. The comprehensive recovery of Kanto United will force the four major commercial stations to redouble their investment and produce more good programs to compete. The audience will be happy;
Some people are worried that this will destroy the original stable structure of the broadcasting industry and plunge into all-round vicious competition. If a hegemon is determined, it may not be beneficial to the industry in the long run.
However, no matter how they look at it, these people all admit that the Kanto United Alliance has come out of the predicament. If this momentum can be maintained, it is very likely that the latecomers will catch up and at least occupy a solid territory - Chihara Rinto does have two skills.
Brush is truly a genius born for this industry. No matter where he is, his performance is unparalleled.
Being born in the same era as him can be said to be lucky or unfortunate.
Chihara Rinto doesn't care about the outside discussions, and he won't get anything done if he cares about them. He is now busy supervising and preparing for the next season of the show. He feels very much like Zhu Yuanzhang - he has to take care of everything, no matter big or small, and all kinds of rules and regulations have been issued
One after another, whoever does not do well will be ranked first, and whoever dares to take bribes will be skinned and stuffed... It is unlikely that he will be skinned and stuffed, but he must be sent to Shikoku to eat taro, and sent to Hokkaido to eat ice cream. There is no negotiation!
Anyway, no matter what the outside world said, he continued to advance his plan steadily and unswervingly.

"Thank you for your hard work, Shiratiao, thank you for taking care of me. Please have a drink to relieve the heat."
During a break in the filming of "Ama", Shiratori Aina's agent Ikegami Isamu carried a large bag of iced canned oolong tea and distributed it everywhere. He thanked all of them. Regardless of their position, almost no one was spared.
He was originally a graphic model agent. It is rare for him to produce an artist who can break into the mainstream entertainment circle. Especially this artist has developed quite well. The new drama has become an instant hit. Currently, drama critics have given it extremely high evaluations.
She is said to be the most powerful contender for the Star Awards this season - if she doesn't win this season, she will definitely win it next season. Everyone feels that based on her performance and the popularity of "Ama", there is no problem for her to win the award, it is completely certain.
He attaches great importance to Shiratori Aina and hopes to create a legend in the entertainment industry with her. He comes to help his artists sell well every day, and is willing to do some extra work for the crew from time to time. This time is no exception, and he finished the oolong tea in equal parts.
, and joked with a few staff members for a while, then went to find Shiratori Aina. When he saw her, he suppressed his excitement and whispered: "Aina-chan, if something good happens, something good will happen."
Shiratori Aina bowed to him first, and then asked curiously: "What happened, Ikegami-san?"
Isamu Ikegami immediately took out a thin script, looked around and then lowered his voice and said: "You have received an invitation to star in a new drama. It is not an audition, but a direct starring role!"
Shiratori Aina's eyes lit up. Strictly speaking, "Ama" is a group drama. The plot revolves around the three generations of Ama. She, the "granddaughter", is only one of the leading actors. How can a film be filmed around her?
The drama was obviously a big step forward in my acting career. I couldn’t help but reach out and grab the script, but when I got it, I hesitated for a moment but didn’t open it. I asked worriedly: “Is it a new drama from Kanto United?
"
If not, then no matter how good the conditions are, she cannot be accepted, otherwise the crew will not be able to spare her, and she will even be directly regarded as a traitor, and the role in front of her will not be saved - in this industry, traitors rarely end well, and it is "Haenyeo"
》This drama made her famous. It was not because Kanto United had other arrangements. She took on other dramas when she was a little famous. It could easily be understood as ungrateful.
This is an unspoken rule in the industry. Of course Ikegami Isamu understood it, and he immediately smiled and said: "I wouldn't dare to show it to you if it wasn't true. This is a big production for the autumn release of Kanto United. I heard it is also the main creative work of Qian Yuanyang."
Shiratori Aina was immediately relieved. She took the script into her hands and took a quick look at it. She found out that she was going to play the role of "Makino Shancai", and there were four male protagonists. To put it simply, the whole drama was about the four male protagonists pursuing "Makino Shancai".
The series of bloody incidents that occurred due to "themselves" are very similar to campus romance dramas and are relatively low-intellectual.
Will this have an audience?
Shiratori Aina was a little skeptical, but she put the idea aside after thinking about it. Chihara Rinto is the guarantee of the brand. Since it is the drama he focuses on, the results will not be bad, but Ikegami Isamu hesitated beside him.
After a while, he added: "I also heard that Qian Yuan personally appointed you as the lead actor. He seems to appreciate you very much."
Shiratori Aina was stunned. She had met Chihara Rinto twice and talked to her once, and the time she spoke was just polite words. She had been busy pouring wine and serving dishes, and did nothing else.
——I didn’t do anything, why do you treat me differently?
She quickly asked: "Why?"
"I don't know." Ikegami Isamu didn't care and said happily: "No matter what the reason is, this is always a good thing. If you don't have any objection, I will directly agree for you."
The agent also has the obligation to choose dramas for actors, but his professional ability is not strong. He can't tell whether it is beneficial or harmful for the actor to appear in the script just by looking at the script. He simply recognizes the brand. I feel that there will be no problem in directly accepting Chihara Rinto's drama.
And Shiratori Aina also thought so. Anyway, she would just follow the Kanto United Alliance. She immediately said obediently: "Okay, then I'll leave everything to you."
"I will try my best to help you get a good treatment, don't worry about that." Isamu Ikegami was full of confidence in this aspect, but after thinking about it, he asked, "Just... do you want to thank Qian Yuan for your appreciation?"
Shiratori Aina is also familiar with human affairs, so she feels that it is necessary to go there, and at least show her appreciation. However, Chihara Rinto is a big shot, and she doesn’t know if it is appropriate to bother him rashly. It will be very embarrassing if it backfires.
wonderful.
She thought for a while and said: "Wait a minute, let me ask Miss Konoe!"
She directly took out the mobile phone she just bought and communicated with Hitomi Konoe via email for a while. After waiting there for a while, she received a reply from Hitomi Konoe: Aina, he said it's okay as long as you have this intention.
I made a special trip to thank him, but filming the drama took priority.
Followed by another one: He is such an old man and doesn't like to socialize. You don't need to worry about him. He can do whatever he has to do. Being able to perform the play well is the greatest thank you to him.
Then came the email from Hitomi Konoe: Don't tell him that I said he was an old man, or I will die.
Shiratori Aina was speechless. Even if she had ten nerves, she would not dare to gossip in front of Qianhara Rinto. She quickly deleted the last two sentences and then showed the phone to Ikegami Isamu. Ikegami Isamu was a little regretful. If she could borrow it,
Thanks for showing his face in front of Qian Yuan Rin Ren, it would be of great benefit to him, but it is a pity that he has no chance.
There was nothing he could do if he didn't have the chance, so he stood up and said: "Okay, Aina-chan, I'm going to negotiate the contract now. This is a rare opportunity for your career. Now take the time to read more scripts, figure out the role more, and be sure to perform well.
, otherwise it will not only lose your face, but also Qian Yuan's face. We can't afford to lose his face, so you must work hard!"
Shiratori Aina nodded vigorously, indicating that she absolutely understood this, and after seeing off Ikegami Isamu, she indeed began to read the script carefully, and began to construct the personality and expression pattern of Makino Shancai very carefully, but no matter how she read the script...
...It's so retarded. It's very similar to the fairy tale of Cinderella and the Prince, but with a different background.
