"Qianhara, what does Chief Furuya want from you?" Murakami Iori asked with concern as soon as Qianhara Rinto got into the car.
Nishijima Rumi, who helped Chihara Rinto open the car door and then got in, was equally concerned and looked at him with piercing eyes. Chihara Rinto first motioned to Konoe Hitomi to drive, and then replied: "It's for the Seoul broadcast."
"What about the broadcast in Seoul?"
Murakami and Nishijima had never heard of this name and seemed a little confused for a moment. Chihara Rinto also just figured it out and explained to them: "A large commercial TV station was established in South Korea last year. They want to cooperate with us."
It should be the predecessor of "Seoul Broadcasting", but Seoul has not changed its name yet, and the word "Seoul" has not been coined yet, so it naturally has not changed. And this TV station, Chihara Rinto, remembers that it is the only large private TV station in South Korea at this stage.
, in the 21st century, the reputation of this TV station is not very good, and it often engages in annoying things involving cats, dogs, and cats, which reflects the national character of Bangzi.
Murakami and Nishijima were immediately disappointed. They thought that a senior bureaucrat like the Cabinet Secretary wanted to find Chihara Rinto for some big deal, and that it might be of great benefit to their own TV station. They didn't expect that it would be meaningless to act as a lobbyist for someone else.
However, the Cabinet Secretary is also a very important figure in the Japanese government. How a newly established Korean TV station could ask him to come forward to ask for help made them a little curious.
Murakami Iori asked aloud: "Why would Chief Furuya care about such a thing?"
"This is complicated to say." Chihara Rinto said thoughtfully, "This is related to the economic strategy that the government is preparing to implement..."
He used the time in the car to explain it to his companions and subordinates in detail.
Japan's economic situation is very bad now, everyone knows this. First, the real estate bubble burst, and then the United States wanted to suck blood, which was uncomfortable, and it was sanctioned. Then it encountered the Asian financial crisis and bad bank debts.
A collective explosion.
In short, after such a setback, the Japanese economy is really in trouble, and both the finance and manufacturing industries have been severely hit.
To this end, the Japanese government has begun to consider economic transformation and has proposed a "new economic growth strategy" - to promote the development of Japanese popular culture through the export of Japanese culture, such as cartoons, animations, games, movies, TV series, songs, etc.
Development to promote the export of Japanese cultural products and light industrial products, and at the same time create a boom in travel to Japan, increase the income of clothing, food, housing, transportation, fashion and other related industries, thereby alleviating the extremely difficult economic situation.
When it comes to specific operations, we plan to adopt an integrated approach of “government-civilian cooperation.”
The government plans to increase subsidies for the production of animations, movies, TV shows, and songs so that these products can add subtitles or dubbing from other countries. At the same time, it will also provide a certain degree of tax exemption, and will gradually increase the tax exemption limit;
The Tokyo Metropolitan Government is also preparing to establish the Tokyo International Culture Festival, which will focus on animation, video games, movies, fashion, TV series and other elements - in fact, it will open a cultural supermarket.
At the same time, venture funds are also in the process of being established, preparing to gather funds to support related works. Of course, support is not random, the government is also short of money, and will only invest in outstanding creators who have cultural charm, can guarantee a rate of return, and have social influence.
In addition, the government will also spend money to buy time slots in other countries, and even establish official broadcast channels, so that foreign audiences can watch Japanese TV programs, enjoy the beautiful scenery of Japan, experience Japanese folk customs, and evoke emotions at a fixed time.
It is said that the desire was originally slippery.
The government is even preparing to enter an existence similar to the Nobel Prize for Literature, that is, the government will come out to escort and provide sufficient support, striving to help a Japanese writer win one or more world-class literary awards.
Let Japan become famous around the world.
There are many official preparations. Even the draft of the "Cultural Industry Overseas Support Agency Act" has been released, and it just needs to be submitted to Congress for approval. The task of the "people" is to produce as good cultural products as possible to support this economic strategy.
Through promotion and implementation, Japan can boost the economy and complete industrial transformation in the short term, and in the long term, it is best to become the world's largest cultural exporting country surpassing the United States.
From the perspective of Chihara Rinto's "prophet", Japan did indeed do this, the effect was good, and its influence on future generations was quite profound.
For example, before he traveled through time, he remembered that websites such as dd.com had purchased a large amount of animation copyrights, which made netizens very excited. They even said that dd was really rich, but in fact the price was quite cheap. Most of them were paid by the Japanese government - not for
The purpose of earning that little royalties is for cultural promotion, in order to sell related peripherals and attract more tourists to Japan.
In the short term, the Japanese government has lost money, but in the long term, this may not be the case.
It is because of this overall economic strategy that Japan has developed from a large industrial country to a tourist country. The proportion of the tertiary industry in the economy has increased year by year, and the animation, film and television and game industries account for a large part of it.
Iori Murakami didn’t expect that there would be so many twists and turns behind a request from Seoul Broadcasting Corporation, and that it would even involve national policy. It felt like it broadened her horizons, and she asked thoughtfully: “Then why Chief Furuya came forward for Seoul Broadcasting Corporation, is that?
Because you want this station to have two hours a week to coordinate with the execution of its economic strategy?"
Chihara Rinto nodded slightly: "He seems to attach great importance to it. Maybe South Korea is relatively wealthy and close to Japan, so it is one of the key areas."
Rumi Nishijima listened for a while and asked strangely: "Why does Seoul Broadcasting want to cooperate with our station? NHK should be more famous overseas, right?"
Chihara Rinto smiled and made a circle on the heads of the three people in the back seat, "They are not only looking for Kanto United Cooperation, but they are also looking for us. Seoul Broadcasting is a newly established commercial TV station. It lacks experience and its production capabilities are currently relatively weak.
The situation is a bit similar to when Kanto United was first established. In addition to wanting to get a batch of good programs, they also wanted us to help improve their production capabilities."
Nishijima Rumi immediately understood that four years ago, the Kanto United were pinned to the ground by the seniors of the Big Four and rubbed against each other all day long, unable to open up the situation at all. It is estimated that Seoul Broadcasting is in a similar situation now. In the past year, it has been pinned to the ground by the two major Korean companies.
The friction was enough, and the Japanese government happened to come to visit again, so they took the opportunity to ask for foreign aid - it turned out that most of the cooperation was with Chihara Rinto, who had led the team to fight a bloody path in the vicious competition among his peers.
If you have experience, maybe you can give your Korean colleagues a kick.
Of course, this should be the reason why Chihara Rinto led the Kanto United Production Bureau to produce a large number of good programs during this period, which created considerable social influence.
Hitomi Konoe also understood, but she didn't care about such brain-consuming things, she just winked at the rearview mirror desperately - Master, you didn't draw that circle to me, I should be "our" too
Part of it?
We are family members. In the future, we disciples will support you in your old age, so you can’t exclude me!
But no one paid attention to her. Murakami Iori considered the pros and cons for a while and asked: "Qianyuan, have you agreed?"
Qianhara Rinto nodded directly and said: "I agree."
"What benefits did they give?" Murakami Iori asked immediately.
If the two TV stations cooperate, that is to sell copyrights and program production formats, it actually doesn't matter. Kanto United has five large local franchise stations and more than a dozen small local franchise stations, which more or less broadcast Kanto on a daily basis.
The joint program is only a matter of money, but if it comes with the help of Chihara Rinto himself, it is another matter - this is not something that can be solved only by money, and the country's economic strategy has nothing to do with them.
If the other party doesn't give them enough benefits, you definitely can't spend time helping them.
She still knew Chihara Rinto very well. As expected, Chihara Rinto smiled and said: "The good thing is that now the ratings of Seoul Broadcasting are all supported by sports programs. They now have two professional sports channels. One is a professional golf commentary channel.
It can broadcast high-level PGA and LPGA events, and also produces a large number of golf-related entertainment and lecture programs. The other is a public sports channel, which has broadcast rights for Korean professional baseball, European football, American football, and even..."
As he was talking, Murakami Iori became excited and interrupted him and asked: "Are they willing to help us get the broadcasting rights?"
If there is any shortcoming in Kanto United now, it is in sports events. No matter how talented Chihara Rinto is, he can't solve it. He can't organize games by himself. Sports event broadcasts have a natural and huge viewership group. Sometimes
No matter how good the program is, it can't compete - most major productions will try to stagger the timing of professional baseball games, otherwise the ratings will plummet by more than 90%.
It's really a wonderful thing to sit and wait for the ratings to fall from the sky. Otherwise, Sakurajima and other commercial TV stations wouldn't have been stuck in Kanto United, obstructing them in every possible way, and behind everyone is a newspaper group, really fighting for connections.
Resources, the Kanto Alliance cannot get it with one against four.
If it can make up for this shortcoming, it can be said to be even more powerful. It will be more confident to suppress the big four, and maybe it can further compete with NHK.
Qianyuan smiled and nodded: "Yes, if both parties can start a formal cooperation, they promise to make efforts in this area, and before I finish what I said just now, they still have the broadcasting rights of the Japanese Professional Baseball League. This is the most important thing.
With this kind of weight, I really couldn’t refuse, so I agreed directly.”
"Japanese Professional Baseball?" Murakami Iori was stunned for a moment, "How come they have the broadcasting rights for Japanese Professional Baseball?"
"Seoul Minfang is nominally controlled by a large real estate company, but in fact it is backed by several large chaebols in South Korea. Its nature is not simple." Chihara Rinto knew this well. The Japanese professional baseball team is actually controlled by a consortium.
Each team can be said to represent a large local conglomerate, and there are various in-depth cooperations between these consortiums and Korean chaebols. In fact, the relationship is very close, so it is normal for Seoul CDB to obtain the broadcast rights.
Even speaking of it, the reason why Seoul Civil Liberation was established was due to the internal strife in South Korea. South Korea, where chaebols also want to turn South Korea into a chaebol, naturally needs a public opinion position, and the traditional newspaper industry is declining, so the establishment of a commercial TV station is naturally
It is necessary, otherwise without a mouthpiece, public opinion cannot be influenced, and people's hearts will always be towards the government, and there will be no need to mention other things.
He gave Murakami Iori and Nishijima Rumi a brief introduction to the chaotic situation in Korea. However, Murakami Iori and Nishijima Rumi didn't care about what was going on inside Korea. It was none of their business even if they were fooled. They were just excited.
It is possible to obtain the broadcasting rights of the Japanese Professional Baseball League - not to mention golf. Although there are a large number of golf enthusiasts in Japan, the mere possibility of obtaining the broadcasting rights of the Japanese Professional Baseball League is worth the hard work.
This is a treasure that the Kanto Alliance has dreamed of for a long time but is difficult to obtain. As long as it can be obtained, it will definitely be a huge achievement. The Qianyuan faction will definitely have a greater say in the matter!
