Shingo Yoshizaki was sitting in the waiting area of the SBS Production Center lobby, bored, but he didn't look around. He just focused on a large decorative porcelain vase, appreciating the subtle differences in craftsmanship between the so-called "Goryeo celadon" and Japanese Kiyomizu-yaki.
——Celadon is a unique and common porcelain in East Asia. The clay is rich in iron, which is restored when firing the glaze, giving the finished product a dark green color. Since their ancestors were all Chinese celadon, the two are relatively similar.
of.
In the past, it was rare for him to sit so quietly, let alone observe an ordinary porcelain vase. However, after experiencing a double blow in life and career, he deeply reflected on himself and went on a walking ascetic journey for nearly a year.
, I listened to the cranes in Hokkaido, caught the tortoises of Shikoku, went boating and drifted across the sea, and even sat under a waterfall and spent a whole day thinking about the meaning of life.
All this changed his whole temperament greatly, at least he became a lot calmer.
Frustration makes people grow, which is probably what happened to him.
Sitting opposite him drinking tea was his fellow sufferer, Maeda Toshihito.
Shingo Yoshizaki was fired due to a conspiracy by Maeda Toshihito, but Maeda Toshihito himself couldn't get any better. In the blink of an eye, he was caught by Chihara Rinto and was also fired from Sakurajima TV. Now he is an unemployed vagrant like him -
-Maeda Torihito has been pestering him for more than half a year. He followed him on a walking ascetic practice and couldn't get rid of him. As time passed, we experienced some things together. The former enemies have laughed away their grudges and can even be said to be friends, so
Now we can sit together peacefully.
They arrived earlier than most of the SBS employees who normally went to work. They sat there and waited. Soon after, the atmosphere in the lobby of the SBS Production Center suddenly became tense. The employees who were still joking at first quickened their pace, no matter what happened.
Everyone started to get busy, and then Rinto Qianhara came in, walking quickly while explaining things to the people around him, looking very lively.
The atmosphere in the hall became even more tense. It was like a tiger returning to the mountain, and everyone had to obey regardless of whether they were convinced or not. As a result, the SBS employees who could not escape along the way stepped aside to greet and salute. There were even a few administrative cadres who took the lead and rushed to the scene.
She went to help him vacate the elevator, and waited there with his hand blocking the elevator door from a distance. He looked more filial than his own son.
Maeda Toshihito stood up, adjusted his glasses, the lenses flashed with white light, and murmured: "How could this happen? If I hadn't known that I was in Seoul, I would have thought I was at the headquarters of the Kanto United Production Bureau."
In his impression, the director of the production bureau of Sakurajima TV did not have such an air of walking around like a chicken or a dog, and it was strange that Chihara Rinto called them to SBS. They still have such great power here.
Even stranger.
Shingo Yoshizaki had also stood up, looking at his old boss whom he had not seen for nearly a year. Although he was also surprised why Rinto Chihara was at SBS, he was not surprised by the scene - gold always shines, and with Chihara
Rinto's ability can be exploited anywhere. Maeda Torihito is rare and strange. Chihara Rinto is more powerful in his own territory. If it were the Kanto United Headquarters, at least no one in the entire hall would be able to stand up straight now.
He had no intention of answering and said directly: "Let's go, Maeda-san!"
He left the waiting area first and stood waiting near the elevator. Maeda Torihito also adjusted his tie, took a deep breath, and stood side by side with him.
Chihara Rinto issued the summons, and there was a high probability that he was not looking for them to reminisce about the past, or that he and Yoshizaki Shingo were going to be used, and he had been waiting for this day for a long time.
Chihara Rinto also noticed them, but the first thing he recognized was Maeda Toshihito, mainly because Yoshizaki Shingo had grown a big beard, which was a bit different from his original impression.
He paused slightly and smiled at Shingo Yoshizaki: "Yoshizaki-san, Maeda-san, long time no see."
Yoshizaki and Maeda bowed together and said, "I'm sorry for your trouble."
"Ready to start over?"
"Just waiting for your orders."
"Okay, come to my office and talk!"
Chihara Rinto turned around and said a few words quickly, accepted a few documents, and then took Yoshizaki Maeda and the two directly to the waiting elevator.
Usually when I see him, I have to queue up. For some planning matters, it is better to stop him and ask him in the morning. If he agrees, just continue with it. If he doesn't agree, just give up, so as not to waste time and energy in vain. It's a good idea.
skillful.
Of course, this is why he supports this method of using fragmented time to improve work efficiency, otherwise these people would not dare to do this.
When he entered the office, Jin Xiumei was already there and helped him warm up the tonic.
Koreans are very superstitious about Chinese medicine and Kampo (they are not so vain as to switch to Korean medicine at the moment). First, South Korea has very strict requirements on the use of antibiotics, and people generally believe that the use of antibiotics is harmful to long-term health; second, Koreans believe
Through the supplementation of Chinese medicinal materials, people's energy and physical strength can be quickly restored.
Therefore, Chinese herbal medicines and tonics sell very well in Korea, and they are even industrialized. They are prepared on a large scale and sold in bags. For example, before athletes train or when high school students sprint, they only eat and drink medicine.
When walking on the road in Seoul, I see a student with nosebleeds spurting out while walking. Needless to say, he is probably preparing for an important exam. If you encounter the need to give a return gift in Korea, get it.
If you are not allowed to give anything, then it is right to give supplements. Nothing is taboo and you are guaranteed to be popular.
Chihara Rinto now enjoys the treatment of a college entrance examination student and an athlete. His work intensity is very high, and Kim Soo-mi is afraid that he will die suddenly. As a result, the Korean nature is violated, and he starts to use his brains on supplements every day. First, he makes some "ginseng chicken soup" and the like.
After eating traditional Korean tonics, I just started taking tonics directly and watched Rinto Qianhara drink them every day.
Ginseng, schisandra, raspberry, centenarian, wolfberry, no matter whether it is nourishing or aphrodisiac, blood or qi, just mix them together and give him a drink, which makes Chihara Rinto sometimes turn green when he opens his eyes at night.
Light.
Jin Xiumei gave him the tonic, then looked at Yoshizaki and Maeda, and hesitated to leave, but Chihara Rinto finished the damn thing in one go - regardless of whether it was useful or not, they had good intentions after all, and they didn't make excuses.
If he doesn't make up for it, SBS won't dare to make it up to him now.
After he finished, he wiped his mouth and said with a smile: "Miss Jin, wait a moment, can I trouble you to make a pot of tea?"
Kim Soo-mi is nominally a senior employee sent by the SBS Board of Directors to assist him, and at certain times helps him upload or introduce situations, but in fact she is tasked with reporting what she is doing to the SBS Board of Directors on a daily basis. Therefore, as long as he
SBS will not shy away from Kim Soo-mi in anything, and even allows her to participate in important work as much as possible - this is a way to show the sincerity of cooperation, a method that does not need to be said, so as to prevent partners from being suspicious and affecting work efficiency.
Jin Xiumei obediently went to make tea. Chihara Rinto then invited Yoshizaki and Maeda to sit down on the sofa, and he began to rummage on the desk - Jin Xiumei was born as a young lady, and was not as discerning as Nishijima Rumi.
I know how to help organize my desk, but I am completely unqualified to be an assistant.
Yoshizaki Shingo sat on the sofa and thanked Kim Soo-mi for the tea, then looked at this super luxurious large office and asked Chihara Rinto: "You...are you working for SBS now?"
He has been working as a savage recently. If Qianhara Rinto hadn't been looking for him, he would still be wandering around and learning asceticism. He has no idea what happened to the Kanto Alliance. After all, he has been expelled in name.
Guy, no one had the obligation to inform him, and Chihara Rinto casually explained to him the deal between SBS and Kanto United.
Yoshizaki and Maeda suddenly realized it. They calculated silently and felt that they were not at a loss. However, Yoshizaki cautiously glanced at Jin Xiumei and asked: "How is the current cooperation progress?"
Although I felt that it was impossible for Chihara Rinto to be deceived into working for free, but now that he had changed and his personality was much more cautious, he still felt that it was necessary to give a subtle reminder.
Chihara Rinto smiled happily and said: "The progress is not bad. After the introduction and guarantee of several powerful people, we are already negotiating with the Yakult Swallows. If everything goes well, we can exclusively enjoy the broadcast rights of the Swallows next year.
I have successfully entered the world of professional baseball.”
Maeda Toshihito was stunned. TV stations such as Sakurajima and Tokyo Broadcasting System (TEB) have always enjoyed natural viewership groups that others cannot compete with during certain periods of time. This is because they hold the exclusive broadcast rights of a certain professional baseball team. After all, they are all newspapers behind their own TV stations.
If the team you are planning to build is not used by your own TV station, why should it be used by others?
The Kanto United League has always been lacking in this aspect before. As long as important match days arrive, the ratings for the whole day will suddenly drop a lot, making it difficult for the Kanto United League to achieve dominance. Sometimes it has to devote its most powerful programs to
At this time period, we can deal with the other party's low-cost programs.
A very big loss, not an ordinary loss!
But now if Kanto United can make up for this shortcoming and be on par with other commercial TV stations in this regard, then it will be the turn of other commercial TV stations to have a headache.
As a former senior executive of Sakurajima TV, he clearly understands that Sakurajima TV's ambition in recent years is to dominate the Japanese broadcasting industry. Looking at this situation now, it is estimated that the ambition will be shattered.
Of course, he is no longer from Sakurajima TV. They have completely given up on him, and he has also joined the Kanto United. The achievement of hegemony by the Kanto United is more ideal for him, but he still felt a little sad when he heard the news.
It feels like Sakurajima has been tricked by fate - everything was going smoothly before, and he was gradually gaining an advantage, until Rinto Chihara appeared, and then everything changed. It really seemed like fate was playing a big joke on Sakurajima.
.
He couldn't help but cast his eyes on Qianhara Rinto, and Qianhara Rinto had already found what he was looking for. He came back without realizing it and put a script in front of him and said with a smile: "This is what I am recreating for you."
Take a look at the script prepared for the voyage."
Maeda Toshihito immediately lowered his head and took a closer look with Yoshizaki. They found that it was a rough outline and there was room for refinement, but it was not important. He looked at it briefly and hesitated and asked: ""Dae Jang Geum" is the great river in South Korea.
Drama?"
Chihara Rinto shook his head and said with a smile: "No, it's just a little bit related to history, not completely consistent with historical facts." Then he turned to Yoshizaki, "Yoshizaki, how do you think this kind of script should be filmed?"
Yoshizaki was already watching it for the second time, focusing on the key points, thinking for a while, and said calmly: "Should it be filmed as a workplace drama? The story of the growth and struggle of the little imperial doctor, what do you think of it being filmed with this concept?
?”
Qianyuan Rinto smiled happily: "Yes, but that's not all, that's what I think..."
He began to explain the core concepts of the script to Yoshizaki and Maeda in detail, so that they could grasp the essence when filming, which would also reduce his workload during review.
Reducing his workload is just a matter of course. The revision of "Dae Jang Geum", which is historically related but the core has not changed, is the "heavy punch" he prepared for SBS. It is even related to the Japanese viewing market and requires a high-level director.
, a director who can fully understand his production concept, so he brought back Shingo Yoshizaki. Otherwise, he would be getting busier and less busy now, and would have less and less time to take care of the studio, and it would be easy to focus on one thing and lose sight of the other.
He has been preparing for this drama for a long time. Later, this drama also caused a strong response in many countries. There are a lot of analysis articles. It can be said that it is difficult to avoid this drama when analyzing Korean dramas. Once I talk about it, I can’t stop.
, the analysis was so clear and logical that Yoshizaki and Maeda also felt their chests heat up - the success of "Dae Jang Geum" is not accidental, there are inevitable factors in it. Now that these Qianhara Rinto have spoken out, it is time to think and improve.
And work hard towards this goal!
They think this is a good script and there should be great hope that it can be made into a good drama!
Maeda Toshihito was particularly excited. Unlike Yoshizaki and Chihara Rinto, his "poor and humble friends" who could support him sooner or later, he could only rely on himself, otherwise he would have to leave this industry.
He must achieve results to prove himself again, and this is an excellent opportunity!
