The main creative staff are basically here, and the leading actors have found their seats and have taken their seats, except for the producer Osamu Kinosaki who has not yet arrived.
Near 9 o'clock in the morning, Osamu Kinosaki finally arrived.
Wearing a smart black suit, with a serious expression on his face, he pushed open the door and entered.
Following him was a middle-aged woman with an ordinary appearance and a smile on her face, who seemed easy to get along with.
None of the creative staff present had seen this woman before, so they began to speculate in their minds and kept looking at her with curious eyes.
After Osamu Kinosaki casually nodded to everyone, he sat down on the main seat and waved his hand, indicating that the meeting would begin immediately.
The woman behind him also sat on the edge and said nothing.
"Everyone has been waiting for a long time. The meeting will begin soon." Osamu Kinosaki cleared his throat and continued, "First of all, let me introduce it to you."
He stretched out his hand towards the woman and said to everyone in the audience: "This is Kato Rumi-san, who is the producer of this TV series like me. If you have any ideas, you can tell her."
Everyone was a little surprised. Originally, the only producer of this drama was Osamu Kinosaki. Unexpectedly, another producer, Rumi Kato, came today. An extra producer does not mean just one more position, but also shares the rights of the producer. No wonder Osamu Kinosaki's
His face was not so happy.
"Hello everyone, I am Kato Rumi, please give me your advice." Kato Rumi stood up, formally greeted everyone, glanced slightly at Nishino Kazuki, and then looked back.
Everyone greeted him one after another.
Osamu Kinosaki felt quite helpless in his heart, but he still had to pretend to be welcoming. After all, he was the person assigned by the president and he couldn't afford to offend him.
According to his uncle, the appointment of the president this time is not the key. It seems to have been signaled by Toho's board of directors. The strange thing is that Kato Rumi was also at Toho and had no reputation. The fact that she was promoted this time shows that she also has a certain reputation.
background relationship.
But there is no other way. Even though he is very popular in the entertainment industry and has a very high status, he can only stand aside when he encounters these powerful people.
But is it really necessary? There is so much fanfare for this prime-time second male role, and you are the board of directors and the president. With this relationship, wouldn't it be better to just play the male lead?
Osamu Kinosaki raised his head and glanced at Nishino Kazuki, complaining fiercely in his heart.
Anyway, he can't guess what other people are thinking. He doesn't care whether the producer gives some rights or interferes with him this time. But if the ratings of this show explode, the blame will definitely be placed on him again.
Rumi Kato, who came from the top, will definitely just slap his butt and leave.
This meeting lasted about two hours. The leading actors all received their respective scripts. The next step was to go back and familiarize themselves with the lines. After a month of preparation, the drama was ready to start filming.
It is worth mentioning that Kazuki Nishino's salary is 400,000 yen per episode, which can be said to be very high. It is already at the upper level among other Wakade actors. You must know that Indigo Fujioka, who plays the male protagonist, is only 55
It’s 10,000 yen per episode. Kyoko Fukada is the main character and she’s very popular. It’s natural for her to get 900,000 yen per episode.
For someone like Shuhei Nomura who has played Yue Jiu, the current price in the industry is only 350,000 yen per episode.
This salary makes Nishino Kazuki very happy. You must know that in Japan, the remuneration of actors has not been very high. It is not like in China where a small actor with such money can not even afford a third-tier actor. Japanese artists are the most profitable.
It's still an advertising endorsement, and the agency has to take a lot of money.
As long as this drama doesn't collapse, Nishino Kazuki can increase his salary for Japanese dramas to this level. The agency's next plan is to let him take his time, try to go further, and then see if he can be alone
Support the ratings of a TV series.
After the meeting, Kazuki Nishino originally made an appointment to have dinner with Kyoko Fukada and Indigo Fujioka, but was unexpectedly stopped by producer Rumi Kato.
Everyone looked as if this was indeed the case, and they couldn't help but make small calculations in their hearts.
Nishino Kazuki didn't know that everyone thought he was related to Kato Rumi, so he simply accepted it.
Because we didn’t know how much time it would take, the lunch with Fukada Kyoko and Fujioka Indigo fell through, and the three of them agreed to have lunch next time.
Nishino Kazuki followed Kato Rumi to a lounge, and another staff member came in with him, who seemed to be Kato Rumi's assistant.
There are several luxurious lunch boxes placed in the lounge, which are her lunches today.
"Nishino-san, let's sit down and eat together. Can you have a casual chat with me?" Kato Rumi said abruptly. You must know that this is the first time that the two of them have met, and there is a big gap in their identities. It is really important to eat together like this.
Okay?
"No need, Producer Kato, my manager has already ordered a lunch for me." Kazuki Nishino waved his hand and refused. He couldn't figure out why this female producer seemed to treat him differently.
Is it because there are... unspoken rules?
Nishino Kazuki also knew that there were a lot of things like this in the entertainment industry. It was also common for male actors to sleep with female producers and directors. It was also common for male actors to sleep with male producers, so he decided to reject her offer to eat together.
Kato Rumi didn't pay attention and just nodded casually.
"Okay, don't worry, I just want to chat with you casually." Kato Rumi sat on the sofa in the lounge, motioned for Nishino Kazuki to sit down, and asked his assistant to pour water for the two of them.
"Kato-san, do you want to ask me something?" Nishino Kazuki didn't think he had anything to talk about, and the two of them weren't familiar with each other.
Kato Rumi touched her left arm with her right hand, shook her head, leaned towards Nishino Kazuki, and said: "If you have any questions on the set, you can tell me. After all, you are a new actor in the TV series."
"Okay." Nishino Kazuki nodded.
"If you have any questions about the script, you can tell me." Rumi Ando continued.
This surprised Kazuki Nishino. This attitude was so good. How could any producer treat a new actor like this?
Moreover, the status of someone who can be a TV drama producer is not low in Toho, so he should not need to use honorifics when facing him in private.
"Okay, Kato-san, thank you, I will remember it." After all, everyone said that they should take care of themselves, so I could only thank her.
"Well, okay, then you can go back first." Kato Rumi smiled.
"Then I'll take my leave."
After Nishino Kazuki came out of her lounge, she came to the parking lot and found Kyoko Fukada still standing there. When she saw him coming over, she said hello.
"Nishino, what did Kato-san tell you?" Kyoko Fukada seemed to be very interested in this matter.
"It's nothing, I just said something for the occasion." Nishino Kazuki answered truthfully.
Kyoko Fukada went to the rest room specifically to say what she was saying, so she definitely wasn't telling the truth.
"Do you know Producer Kato?"
"I don't know, it's the first time we met today." Nishino Kazuki replied.
"Who can believe it? Could it be that I can't even tell my sister?" She said coquettishly, with a girlish charm.
Kyoko Fukada didn't care either, and continued: "By the way, let's go have dinner together, even though Fujioka-san is gone."
