Rebirth of the Industrial Tycoon

Six hundred and twenty first chapters comeback

Miss Nako, is Minister Yamazaki here?

Minister Yamazaki is in the reading room, saying he wants to review a TV series.

Excuse me, I'll see Minister Yamazaki later.

after an hour.

Miss Nako, may I ask if Minister Yamazaki is back?

I'm very sorry, Minister Yamazaki hasn't come back yet, he's still in the reading room.

Is Minister Yamazaki still reading the film? Well, I'll bother you later.

Another hour passed.

Miss Nako, should Minister Yamazaki be back?

Ah, sorry, Minister Yamazaki is still in the reading room...

But three hours have passed.

I'm very sorry, I think this TV series should be longer.

Then I can only come back later.

It's time to get off work.

Miss Nako, Minister Yamazaki hasn't come back yet?

I'm really sorry. I went to the reading room just now. Minister Yamazaki is concentrating on reviewing TV dramas. Please don't disturb me!

It turns out that Minister Yamazaki is forgetting about his work. The man said so, but he was thinking in his heart that what Minister Yamazaki was watching was definitely not a serious TV series, maybe it was our Japanese special TV series, otherwise why would he watch it for a whole afternoon? !

At this time, Takashi Yamazaki, the head of the business and editorial department of the TV station, was sitting on the sofa in the reading room, crying.

What was playing on the TV was Meteor Garden. At this time, the whole TV series had come to an end. At this time, Daoming Temple was on a hunger strike, and Shancai was drenched in the rain outside the mansion.

Finally came the moment of the finale. When seeing the lovers get married, Yamazaki Takashi let out a long sigh: It's so touching! I thought it would be similar to the anime Boys Over Flowers, but I didn't expect the adaptation to be so Success! And the production is also very good. If such a good TV series is introduced, it will definitely explode in ratings!

The TV station where Takashi Yamazaki works is Japan's bs TV station. This TV station is the tbs broadcast satellite TV channel of Japan's five largest private TV stations, and is affiliated to the tbs broadcasting bureau.

The bs TV station was officially launched in December 2000, only a few months ago, so the scale is not large. It is also for this reason that Meteor Garden may be introduced by BS TV.

Japan still has a lot of TV programs, many of which cost little to produce, but are very interesting. So there is no shortage of good programs on Japanese TV stations.

Big TV stations such as Fuji, Japan, Asahi, etc., have to queue up for broadcasting TV series made in Japan, so there is no living space for imported TV series.

Moreover, even if Japan introduces Chinese TV series, they are basically based on period films, such as Romance of the Three Kingdoms, whether it is the old version or the new version, it is very popular in Japan, mainly because Japanese people prefer the culture of the Three Kingdoms.

In addition, like Han Zhu Ge Ge in the early years, and later The Legend of Zhen Huan, Ruyi's Royal Love in the Palace, Nirvana in Fire, Strategy of Yanxi Palace and so on, Japanese TV stations also introduced them, and these are all ancient costumes drama.

In addition, there are many remakes of Jin Yong's martial arts dramas, but martial arts dramas are still not as popular as traditional costume dramas.

In terms of modern urban dramas, there is a high probability that Japan will not introduce them. In terms of the production level of modern urban dramas, Japan at that time was much better than the surrounding areas. Since I have better ones, they don’t need to go to the surrounding areas to introduce them. urban drama.

The first reason why Meteor Garden was sent to BS TV for review was because it was changed by the Japanese manga Boys Over Flowers.

Boys Over Flowers has been broadcasted in Japan as a cartoon, and it can be regarded as a relatively mature IP. It has some fan groups, which also gave Meteor Garden a chance.

The second reason is that this TV series does not require money, and it is broadcast on bs TV station for free.

Puppy Entertainment has bought the broadcast rights of Meteor Garden in Japan, and then gave it to bs TV station for free, the purpose is to promote f4.

However, even if it was given away for free, BS TV was still a little reluctant, and they still couldn't trust the production standards of TV dramas in other regions.

Fortunately, bs TV station has just been established and its scale is not large. As long as the scale is slightly larger and the history is slightly longer, they may not agree to review the film.

Historically, the first TV station to introduce Meteor Garden to Japan was also this BS TV station. At that time, Meteor Garden lacked investment and the production was a bit crude, but it could still be broadcast successfully.

Now this Meteor Garden has a larger investment and more sophisticated production, so it can naturally be recognized by BS TV station.

The production fee of NT$700,000 per episode was not too small at the time. In addition, the leading actors of Meteor Garden are not well-known yet, so the salary is almost negligible, and the crew's money is spent on production, which also makes the production level of Meteor Garden exceed the normal level of Taiwanese dramas at that time. level.

As for the acting skills of the leading actors, this can be ignored. Watching idol dramas, those who pay attention to acting skills! As long as the plot is bloody enough, even if the protagonist's appearance is not so beautiful, he can attract the audience.

Originally bs TV station introduced Meteor Garden a year later. At that time, f4 had already become popular in Asia, and also gained some fame in Japan. Many Japanese viewers watched Meteor Garden because of f4's fame.

And this TV series is indeed very popular in Japan. In the year after the bs TV station finished broadcasting, 15 TV stations in Japan broadcast Meteor Garden one after another.

It was played on 15 TV stations, but not only 15 times. Japanese TV series only broadcast one episode a week, so this episode of TV series is often played many times. For example, after the prime time at night is over, it will be broadcast again the next day, and it will be broadcast again at unpopular time.

In 2005, Japan's tbs directly remade Boys Over Flowers. Although the filming was very average, it still had an average rating of 19.8.

Compared with Takuya Kimura's ratings of more than 30%, there is still a big gap, but it defeated Fuji TV's Yuejiu drama at that time and won the autumn ratings champion. The starring Matsumoto Jun, Shun Oguri, Mao Inoue and others also gained popularity.

Afterwards, it was remade and made a movie, which also won a box office of 7.75 billion yen. For urban romance movies, this is already a box office myth in Japan.

If it weren't for the influence of the old version of Meteor Garden, the later adaptation of Boys Over Flowers would not have such ratings and box office.

Now, in order to fill the vacancy of the advertising spokesperson, Li Weidong decided to introduce Meteor Garden to Japan in advance, which also made f4 popular in advance.

For bs TV station, considering the relatively conservative personality of the Japanese, broadcasting an imported modern urban drama is quite risky.

Fortunately, Meteor Garden is a Japanese manga adaptation, so the controversy will be much smaller.

But even so, Takashi Yamazaki has always been nervous about the ratings of Meteor Garden. For him, introducing such a work is a gamble!

Fortunately, this TV series didn't cost money. Even if the ratings hit the street, you can still explain to the president. Yamazaki Takashi comforted himself, and then walked into the office.

Crack! Crack! Two voices sounded, and fragments of colored paper fell from the top of Yamazaki Takashi's head. At this time, Yamazaki Takashi saw clearly that two colleagues were holding colored paper salutes, standing on the left and right sides.

Immediately afterwards, applause rang out, and the whole office applauded Takashi Yamazaki.

What happened? Yamazaki Takashi was stunned.

Since the economic bubble burst, Japanese offices have become more and more boring. During working hours, every employee works like a machine.

Japanese office culture does not advocate individuality. When office workers stay in the office, everyone has a poker face and does what they are supposed to do. It feels like being in prison. Therefore, Japanese offices are also called The most boring office in the world.

This kind of salute and applause for celebration is very rare in Japanese office culture. With Japan's conservative office culture, this kind of existence will only be allowed unless there is a major breakthrough in business.

When Takashi Yamazaki was still confused, someone next to him immediately explained: Minister Yamazaki, the ratings of Boys Over Flowers we introduced exceeded 5!

5? Are you sure? Takashi Yamazaki couldn't believe his ears.

A rating of 5 is not good at all in Japanese TV dramas. If it is placed on a larger TV station, such ratings can directly kill the drama.

However, for BS TV station, this is an unimaginable ratings data.

The bs TV station was just opened in December last year, and it is estimated that it has not yet accumulated a few regular viewers. It is considered good if someone can watch the programs on the way when changing channels.

And how could such a small TV station compete with the big TV stations for ratings. Just like the prime time of Moon Nine, Takuya Kimura alone can harvest 30% of the TV audience for Fuji.

The remaining TV stations, tbs TV, Asahi TV, and Nippon TV will also put out their ace TV dramas in this schedule. In this way, the space that can be given to small TV stations is very limited.

So the ratings of 5 can really make BS TV open champagne to celebrate.

Faced with such ratings, Takashi Yamazaki realized that he won the bet this time!

In the next few days, the ratings of Meteor Garden continued to soar. Although it was incomparable with the prime time of the five major TV stations, it had already begun to dominate among the small TV stations.

When the plot was more than halfway through, Meteor Garden had attracted the attention of many Japanese media. Even the cadres of tbs TV station came to the door directly, hoping to broadcast Meteor Garden on tbs TV station.

tbs is one of the five major TV stations in Japan, and it can be broadcast on tbs TV station, with a rating of at least 10.

When the tbs cadres learned that Puppy Entertainment gave away the broadcast rights for free, they decided to introduce Meteor Garden to tbs without hesitation.

Free things are still quite delicious, even if it is a rich and powerful old TV station like tbs, it can't stop the pie falling from the sky.

Many of the people who collect the one, sixty-eight cents and five blessings red envelopes every year are wealthy people with tens of millions of assets! Are they short of the one sixty-eight cents in their pockets? What they lack is free, because free is really delicious!

Immediately afterwards, other TV stations also heard the news. Anyway, it's free, don't be in vain!

Historically, the right to broadcast Meteor Garden was paid for, and 15 Japanese TV stations broadcast it. Now that it's free, not all major TV stations have rushed over.

For a while, Meteor Garden can always be seen broadcasting at various time slots on Japanese TV stations.

At the same time, the advertisements of Puppy Electric also made a comeback. The advertisements endorsed by Takuya Kimura, which had been withdrawn, were all replaced by f4 and put on the market again.

In the Meteor Garden TV series, there were many implants of puppy appliances. Now Meteor Garden is popular in Japan, and the advertisements for puppy appliances endorsed by f4 are also launched on various Japanese TV stations.

Since the broadcasting rights of Meteor Garden were originally sold by Puppy Electric to various TV stations, Puppy Electric also knows when each TV station will broadcast Meteor Garden.

When the TV station started broadcasting Meteor Garden, the advertisement for Puppy Appliance endorsed by f4 also arrived as scheduled, which can be described as precise placement.

While watching the drama, I saw the product advertisement endorsed by the idol in the drama, and the impression of this product was instantly full.

Moreover, in the Japanese market, Puppy Appliances is also the main beauty product, in addition to small household appliances and kitchen appliances. These are mainly aimed at female consumer groups. Just like the audience of Meteor Garden, the advertising effect is very high. Even more with half the effort.

As a result, the sales of Puppy Electric's products quickly began to pick up.

Iijima Sanchi is on his way back to Johnny's office.

Just now, Santomo Iijima just negotiated an advertisement for Takuya Kimura, which was to endorse Nikon's cameras.

The basis for Takuya Kimura is the most expensive male artist in Japan, and because of his high net worth, Takuya Kimura's advertising is not cost-effective.

Nowadays, Takuya Kimura is looking for endorsements from some big brands, such as international giants such as Toyota Motor, high-profit products such as brand-name cosmetics, or products with relatively high technological content such as digital cameras.

In short, they are some high value-added products, so Takuya Kimura can afford to be the endorser.

This actually reduced the number of Takuya Kimura's advertising endorsements. After all, there are only a few big brands, so Takuya Kimura does not receive a few advertising endorsements throughout the year.

Sitting in the car, Iijima Santomo looked out of the car with a smug expression on his face.

Due to the outstanding work performance of Sanzhi Iijima, she is already the most favorable candidate for the next successor of Johnny \u0026 Associates. Even Chairman Kitagawa has hinted that she is optimistic about Sanzhi Iijima's succession.

As long as Kimura-kun can sign a few more big contracts, the next president of Johnny's \u0026 Associates will definitely be me!

Just when Sanzhi Iijima was complacent, the advertisement on a building ahead attracted the attention of Sanzhi Iijima. The advertisement shows four young and handsome guys, and what they hold in their hands is a beauty instrument.

Mitomo Iijima is very familiar with this beauty instrument, and it is the style that Takuya Kimura once endorsed.

The beauty instrument of Puppy Electric! Sanchi Iijima recognized it immediately. Because she is also using this beauty instrument herself.

Are those four handsome young people the new spokespersons for Puppy Electric? They look a little unfamiliar, is this a new group that came out recently? The image looks pretty good, I don't know which company's artists it is. Iijima Sanchi said.

Johnny's Office, where Mito Iijima works, is famous for cultivating male artist groups, and Takuya Kimura is a member of the smap group. So for male idol groups, Iijima Sanchi is very sensitive.

The helper next to him answered: This group is called f4. It's not from Japan, but an idol group from Taiwan, China. They participated in a TV series, which was adapted from the comic Boys Over Flowers. It was recently introduced to Japan, on a few small TV stations.

So it's not a Japanese group, it's a pity that these handsome faces! Iijima Sanchi curled his lips in disdain, and then said: I think Puppy Electric is in a hurry to go to the doctor, don't they think they can just find a few Can a young man with a good image replace Takuya Kimura?

Even if it is a Japanese group, it is impossible to compete with Kimura Takuya in popularity, let alone a foreign group? That hot group in South Korea, they boasted so much in the media before, saying that they are the hottest singing group in Korean history, but they are not acclimatized in Japan!

It is not so easy for artists from other countries to become famous in our Japanese market. Even with some fame, it is difficult to catch fire. I think this f4 combination must be short-lived, and it won't be long before they will fade out of the Japanese market together with Puppy Electric!
