The next morning, Shiratori Aina was still a little uneasy. She made several small mistakes, but she was not scolded for it. The main reason was that the entire crew was a little absent-minded, especially the idols, who were all very nervous.
But even Shiratori Aina cannot withstand the ravages of wind and waves.
Fortunately, the producers and directors soon came back from the ratings analysis meeting, and Ma immediately announced the ratings of "Boys Over Flowers" - the average ratings for the first two episodes were 23.22%, and the ratings for the new season are currently at the top.
The first place on the list immediately made the entire crew cheer.
This result is really explosive. Even if it is considered within the golden decade, it is an excellent opening result. It also unexpectedly broke the record for the highest ratings for the first broadcast of an idol drama within ten years. Shiratori Aina finally knows the ratings
The results were far better than expected. All worries suddenly turned into ashes and disappeared. I covered my mouth tightly, afraid that I would lose my temper and scream.
As the main protagonist, even if his performance no longer improves, he will still be able to handle it in the final season, and it will not have a big impact on his acting career. What's more, the ratings response is obviously very good, and he is very likely to become a TV series like "Ama".
It is a popular drama among the people, and it is not impossible to even challenge 40% of the mythical drama lines.
For a graphic model who has just made her debut as an actress, participating in two dramas, both of which are popular dramas, is a dream. It is estimated that 99% of actresses will be jealous to the point of cerebral hemorrhage.
If the ratings are good, everyone in the crew will benefit. After cheering, there was another sound of congratulations to each other on the shooting site. Shiratori Aina suppressed her excitement and followed the trend to congratulate each other with everyone, until
Until the great director Miyawaki Yohito started to stop him - Miyawaki Yohito was also very excited. He talked about the rare opportunity for five minutes and asked everyone to keep up their efforts and strive to keep the throne of Ichiban this season.
Shiratori Aina actively responded to the call and started shooting harder, keeping in mind her mother's teachings: If you don't seize the opportunity when it comes, you will definitely live with regrets for the rest of your life.
And now is when the opportunity comes, you must work harder!
A week later, "Boys Over Flowers" aired its third episode, and the average time-sharing ratings soared again by 1.97%. Not only did it maintain its position, it also widened the gap with the second place - although the second place was also from its own show
It actually doesn't matter what the TV program is, but for the small collective of the crew, it's still gratifying.
Drama critics also received overwhelming praise. They all said that the theme was novel, the rhythm was tight, the acting was passable, the plot was reasonable, and the filming was exquisite. This kind of subject matter was poorly made in later generations, but in 1998, it was indeed a novelty.
The subject matter is right, and Chihara Rinto has read seven adaptations of "Boys Over Flowers" and studied the pros and cons of each version. He did make a lot of changes when he directed the remake, and he managed to make the most of its strengths and avoid its weaknesses.
After all, it is an adaptation, so of course we have to strive to get better every time.
The audience also bought into this "Urban Cinderella Fairy Tale". Not only did they enthusiastically follow the show, they also established hundreds of large and small discussion groups, forums, message boards and support groups online. In just one week, there were thousands of related messages.
There are more than 110,000, and even Qianhara Rinto's exclusive network information survey company can't count them.
In addition, almost all female high school students have fallen in love with F4's suit pants. Even if they don't drool after watching it, they will be willing to follow the show so that they can have topics to discuss when getting along with friends. And Tokyo 50 Girls such as Gomi Sanchiyo
The idols have also gained a lot of popularity and have truly become widely known. Fans from Minami Kyushu have spent half a day to support them.
There are various situations, but a trend of "Flower Boys" has indeed begun to form. There is a lot of discussion about "Boys Over Flowers" in the streets and alleys. Two related songs, "Wish" and "Star Gazer", are even more popular.
They have been competing for one spot on the Oricon charts since the day of release, and staged the first battle between idols and professional singers on the Oricon charts - so far, the singer represented by Sakaizumi Izumi still has the slight upper hand, but F4 Chorus
"Wish" may catch up from behind at any time, which is a precursor to the rise of the idol fan economy, paving the way for idols to sweep the Oricon charts in the future.
In just half a month, the impact was really huge. "Boys Over Flowers" even began to have a subtle impact on society's aesthetics, but most people didn't notice it for a short time - tough guys were still the mainstream in TV dramas.
, to be angular, an actor looks more at acting skills rather than appearance. If the acting skills are good, the appearance can be relaxed, but in the future, the "flower boy" will be the dominant one. First, look at whether he is a handsome man, and then look at the acting skills.
how.
This can be regarded as a disguised way of raising the aesthetic level of the audience. As long as the audience has eaten bird's nest and shark's fin, they will never want to eat it again, or they will just spit.
Shiratori Aina's popularity is not weak either. As the main protagonist, the whole drama revolves around her, and "Weed Shancai" is also very popular with the audience. In the blink of an eye, her posters and print ads are all over the place.
In major shopping malls, the calls for the Rookie of the Year Award and even the Best Actress Award are getting louder and louder.
The magazine likes her even more, with continuous exclusive interviews and continuous big covers. In the monthly voting, just after the 15th, she has already locked in the "Most Popular Actress of the Month", "Tokyo Dream Girl", "Eye"
"Best Female Artist" and other weird awards.
Naturally, Shiratori Aina became even more excited and often read newspapers and magazines secretly. However, when she calmed down, she often recalled what Chihara Rinto said to her, "You will not regret starring in this drama" - at that time
She only felt that Qianhara Rinto was very confident, but now she felt more and more strange.
Were all developments already within his calculations?
She is one of the few female artists with brains. After having this idea, she devoted more attention to this aspect and secretly inquired about many things. After learning enough, she even began to be afraid of Qianyuan Rin.
Now, I feel that Chihara Rinto's figure is becoming more and more majestic, and is slowly covering the world of entertainment industry. In the future, it is very likely that he will become the curtain of the times - in the shadow, a pair of cold eyes are secretly watching the entertainment industry.
Everything, occasionally quietly playing with the chess pieces, so that the course of history can meet his expectations.
This...isn't this the Great Demon King?
…………
Chihara Rinto still doesn’t know that he has been made up to be a reserve member of the Great Demon King. He is listening to Murakami Iori’s report on "Boys Over Flowers" in the office - this drama has been completed for a full year, as well as an SP take-out movie.
He has been focusing on one of the core aspects of the big plan, but most of the chores have been delegated to Iori Murakami.
Iori Murakami was also used to it. She first handed him a bunch of meeting minutes and reports so that he could have an idea of what was going on. Then he flipped through his notepad and asked, "The Japanese president in the middle of summer in Paris wants to invite you to dinner.
Are you interested in going?"
Qianhara Rinto lowered his head and asked casually: "Is there something important?"
Murakami Iori shrugged: "I heard that their sales increased by 166% this week. I probably want to thank you, or maybe I am afraid that my colleagues will get involved and want to do your job."
The luxury goods in "Boys Over Flowers", such as famous watches, luxury bags, Chinese clothes, etc., are all borrowed genuine goods. Basically, they all come from the brands of Paris Summer, a luxury goods group. Now look at it, it's very
Maybe I got an unexpected surprise and was excited.
Chihara Rinto thought for a while and asked: "Are you afraid that your peers will also get involved? Are other luxury goods groups or brands also starting to be interested?"
Iori Murakami said with a smile: "Yes, several second-tier brands have contacted the crew through relationships and are willing to lend products for free. Lucoo has also contacted the crew and expressed that they would like to discuss it again."
Chihara Rinto couldn't help but laugh, "They don't care about style now?"
Iori Murakami also felt very happy. She was dismissed casually at that time, and she smiled directly and said: "They may be more afraid that Paris will squeeze out their market share in the midsummer. Now that the economy is in recession, luxury goods are not as easy to sell as before...
It is said that the minister who was previously in charge of the negotiations has been demoted, and the new person in charge speaks ten times more politely."
However, she was very professional and soon got down to business and asked: "What do you mean, how to reply to them?"
Qianhara Rinto laughed and shook his head: "If there are risks, I don't want to take them. If there are benefits, I just want to talk about them. How can there be such good things in the world? Don't pay attention to them."
This was a rejection. Murakami Iori had no objection. She was responsible for the execution anyway, and asked further: "As for the invitation to you in Paris during the summer..."
"If it's just this kind of thing, I won't go. You take Miyawaki, Nishijima... and Shiratori, the main character, to take my place and we'll be able to get through it."
Murakami Iori didn't expect him to actually go. As the second largest shareholder representative of Kanto United, Chihara Rinto strictly speaking had a much higher social status than the Japanese president in Paris, and it wasn't a big deal, so he didn't bother to go.
Also normal.
She asked directly: "Then if they propose an exclusive loan share, how should they respond?"
Chihara Rinto casually said: "Let them contribute money to supplement the production funds. If they don't want to contribute, other brands besides Lucoo can also agree if they are willing to contribute money and want to join in."
We didn't agree to use them as a family at the beginning. If you want to monopolize the resources, of course you have to pay more. And if you don't want to pay more, of course that's fine. After all, they are the first to express goodwill. Should you borrow or borrow and continue to give them free of charge?
For publicity, if someone is willing to pay, just let the actors change their clothes and wear more clothes - it is a purely commercial behavior. TV dramas are so popular now, there is nothing you can do about it, and commercial behavior cannot only consider emotional factors.
Murakami Iori casually recorded it and prepared to follow the rules, and then asked a bunch of miscellaneous things. For example, the publisher was also very happy, and the comics and sales related to "Boys Over Flowers" were sold out in the blink of an eye.
They are also beginning to think about something special, hoping to further cooperate with Kanto United Television, such as providing IP to film dramas, or helping Kanto United to make peripherals. Anyway, it is easy to talk about it, and they also hope to launch a new book and new comic series
We are planning to invite members of Tokyo 50, especially f4, Sanchiyo Gomi and others to the venue for a large-scale autograph tour.
For example, the various idol agencies affiliated to the Idol League were also very excited. They felt that Chihara Rinto's original promise was finally coming true, and they began to shout desperately to speed up the pace. Stop waiting and quickly open branches in various places.
, quickly occupy the national market, otherwise it will be really heartbreaking to see the wasted money flowing away. Some companies have even begun to carefully select candidates and trainees, ten times more seriously than at the beginning.
There were a lot of things. Chihara Rinto and Murakami Iori discussed them for a long time before they sorted them out. Then Murakami Iori patted her butt and left. She is also very busy now. As a wing of Chihara Rinto,
You have to flutter hard to make Chihara Rinto fly higher.
Of course, she will naturally rise simultaneously and be very satisfied with the current situation.
After she left, before Chihara Rinto finished rubbing his neck, Nishijima Rumi came again and reported administrative matters to him. However, there are not many problems in this area now - daring to seek personal gain and slowing down production.
The efficiency of the bureau's operation is very high. All of them were killed some time ago. Now everything is basically normal, including normal promotions, demotions and recruitment of new people in various departments.
After she was sent away, Chihara Rinto had finished most of his daily work in the morning. He started to look at the documents again, randomly checking a few copies in each aspect. If there was any problem, he would stamp it. If there was any problem, he would stamp it. If there was any problem, he would stamp it.
The deputy director, producer or the person in charge is called into the office to scold them, and then they are asked to go back and make corrections.
There is no way, being the director is so hard. Either you let the committee take charge and be more relaxed; or you have to catch it yourself and work hard until you die - Zhu Yuanzhang is not easy to be, but he can conquer the world.
Well, there is nothing we can do. We finally took advantage of the rectification movement to free up the committees. We have to work no matter how tired we are.
Probably after taking full control of the Kanto Alliance, I will hand over this position to Murakami Iori, and then I will mainly be in charge of the general direction. Then I should be able to relax.
He drank a bottle of energy potion to dispel his drowsiness, and while browsing social news to avoid being disconnected from society, he acted as a human-shaped stamping machine. Unexpectedly, Shintaro Yasuda called the phone and reported the report respectfully.
: "President, Yoshizaki-san's matter has come to light."
Qianyuan Rinto tilted his head and held the phone between his hands. He kept clicking his hands, but his spirits were lifted and he asked with concern: "Did you come up with something?"
"Yes, I spent more than three million yen to buy the information, and it has been verified that the content of the other party's confession is credible."
Chihara Rinto didn't care about the details, and the money was just a small amount. He asked directly: "Who did it?"
"It's a senior producer at Sakurajima TV. His name is Maeda Toshihito. I've sent you his personal information to your mailbox."
"Senior producer?" Chihara Rinto pondered for a moment and asked, "Who is behind him?"
"I can't confirm further. I can only confirm that he belongs to the station director faction of Sakurajima TV."
Chihara Rinto thought for a while and felt that this was enough. The other party was messing with his subordinates, so he would deal with the other party's subordinates as retaliation, so as not to have a full-scale conflict with Sakurajima TV and let Tokyo Broadcasting Teb and other TV stations go to waste.
Got a bargain.
He directly ordered: "Then take action. How he treats Yoshizaki, you should treat him as well."
"President, this...may not be possible." On the phone, Shintaro Yasuda hesitated for a while and said euphemistically: "I have sent people here to conduct a preliminary investigation. This Maeda-san is somewhat similar to you. He does not smoke or drink.
He is not married, has no children, and does not have a girlfriend, nor any scandals. His mailbox is full of advertising emails, and there is no valuable information. He basically stays in the TV station, and rarely even returns to his apartment... President, this person
He is an ascetic workaholic, his only hobby is doing TV shows, and he cannot find his weakness for the time being."
He checked around and found that Maeda Toshihito had no dirt to dig up at all. He was just like Chihara Rinto. He couldn't find a chance to throw dirt on him. In addition to being domineering in terms of criticism, he said the same thing within the program team and would not be allowed at all.
Apart from other people's refutations, he basically has no shortcomings. He is an employee that any company likes very much - even if he is a bit domineering, it is not a bad thing, and he does not hit anyone, and a veteran producer like him who curses others is purely a Japanese workplace.
Atmosphere is a sign of serious work. If you want to force the other party to resign, it is simply impossible.
Qianhara Rinto was scratching his head a little after hearing this. What should I do if the other party can't hack it?
Are you going to suffer the consequences of being dumb?
Unwilling to be reconciled, he turned on the computer and said, "Wait a moment, I'll look at his information first."
That kid Yoshizaki has moral issues, so being fired is not a big injustice. However, Toshihito Maeda did it because of competition for ratings or because he was instigated by others. It was not a personal vendetta. The ratings of "5 to 9" were targeted.
It even caused "5 to 9" to lose its throne. This debt still needs to be settled.
Anyway, you have to give the other party something to show, and you will never accept a dumb loss.
