Tokyo: Being coveted by my wife, I just want to play games

The project "Sisters Who Make Waves" will not make much money for Dongchuan Che and has no strategic value.

This time I came to Shonan mainly to accompany Yuezhu Asuka, and to give myself a short vacation after the release of "Elden Ring". But after all, the total cost of this project is close to 20 million US dollars, which is a super S-level heavyweight variety show, and many advertisers are also eyeing this place.

Normally, variety shows will negotiate contracts with advertising sponsors before recording begins. Although these contracts generally have clauses such as [advertising fees increase by XX if the number of views reaches XX], advertisers will not pay too much at the beginning, but it can more or less reduce cost pressure. But so far, Dongchuan Che has not sold the advertising space for "Sisters Riding the Wind and Waves".

There is no other reason, just waiting for the right price.

As the saying goes, "despise the enemy strategically and take the enemy seriously tactically." Although Dong Chuan Che is not too concerned about the profit of tens of millions of US dollars now, he is not a nouveau riche who would just pretend to have money and not make it.

Even if he doesn't care about the money, he still has so many employees under him who rely on him for a living.

Get more advertising fees and give more bonuses to your subordinates. Then your employees will make more money and live a happier life. You can listen to more praise and admiration from your employees, enjoy the sense of accomplishment of being a "conscientious boss", and make your employees work harder.

Kill three birds with one stone, why not?

only.

a little busy.

When they arrived at the recording hall, Dongchuan Che sat next to Yuezhu Asiniao.

While watching the female artists and singers putting on makeup and chatting, he held a microphone in his hand and prepared to satisfy his director's desire. However, before he could even sit down, various calls came in.

"Well, I'll be back in Tokyo in two days, and you can come to my company to talk then. Okay, bye."

After hanging up the phone call with the CEO of a milk powder company, Dongchuan Che drank a sip of wolfberry tea in silence. Ohara Chika, who was reading a novel next to him, smiled faintly and said, "It seems that you accompanying the two of us this time has completely set off the other two jealous people."

".What else can I say? It's you who insisted on staying out all night. It's only 30 to 40 minutes away from home."

Dongchuan Che glared at Ohara Chika with both anger and amusement.

The program crew does want to raise advertising sponsorship fees, but this kind of thing is usually handled by Ms. Maori, Ame and Kawaguchi. Even if the amount is relatively large, at most they will go to Miyano Mitsuha and Sato Fujiko to discuss cooperation. After all, the amount of this kind of business cannot be that big. At most, Dongchuan Che will take a look at the contract number and then sign it, but he has received more than a dozen calls early this morning.

It was very weird, and combined with the nervous and excited tones of the manufacturers who called, how could Dongchuan Che not know that this was a "little revenge" by Miyano Mitsuko and Sato Fujiko behind the scenes.

It's a bit annoying, but also quite fun.

Seeing Toru's expression, Ohara Chika smiled and pushed his shoulder with her finger, "Someone should stop being so ungrateful. From what I see, you just want them to act cute with you more. You're also quite strange. I heard that other men would want more private space after being with a woman for a long time, but you, on the contrary, want to stick with her more the longer you are with her."

"Oh, you mean you want me to be more independent? Well, I'll just sleep on the couch tonight."

Dongchuan Che raised his eyebrows and teased. But just as he finished speaking, Ohara Chika's slender hands grabbed his waist and said unhappily, "Don't give me that. Do you think I don't know what you are thinking? You want to take this opportunity to play games? Don't even think about it."

"."

His intention was seen through, and Dongchuan Che also moved to Bengbu.

On the one hand, he makes games to make money, and on the other hand, he really likes playing games.

After the release of the enhanced version of "Elden Ring", he also quickly made a mountain of corpses and a sea of ​​blood to have fun. However, on the one hand, adults don't have as much time as students, and they have a lot of work to do. On the other hand, there are many women in the family.

The game is fun, but compared to women.

Well, the game is still interesting in the second half of the night when the magazine is empty. But I only play it for a short time every day, and the content of his "Elden Ring" has increased by at least half compared to the original. It is not the kind of game that you get up every day and play for a week or two in a row, and there is no way to finish the content.

Dongchuan Che was also very upset that he had made a game but had no time to play it. However, these were all minor matters. When the company was bigger in the future and there were more studios under it that could independently develop top-level masterpieces, Dongchuan Che would have more private time.

“The day when I can play [Secretary] and then play games in the office is not far away.”

Thinking of this, Dongchuan Che suddenly felt in a good mood.

He flirted with Chika Ohara for a while, then Tsukitake Asuka, who was in an electric wheelchair, took the director's microphone from him and began to direct the mobilization of personnel on the scene. As Mito Yohei followed Honda Kojiro to arrange for the audience judges to take their seats, "Sisters Who Make Waves" also began to prepare for recording.

To be honest, the directors of variety shows are the lowest-ranking directors in the entertainment and film and television circles.

This is mainly because variety shows don’t have any sophisticated shooting techniques or narrative techniques. They don’t have much requirements for lighting and shooting angles, and the plots are basically straightforward, not to mention that singing and dancing shows like “Sisters Riding the Wind and Waves” don’t need plots at all. Even acting skills are not needed.

Many viewers watch variety shows not for the plot or the acting, but just for fun. If the show is full of acting skills, it will make the audience feel that the person is fake. Therefore, the effect of the show depends more on the singers' performance, their own abilities and personal charm.

The main task of a variety show director is to be sensitive to what the audience is interested in and to be able to accurately determine which segments the audience is interested in and which segments can spark discussion.

Don't think it's easy to do this, just like many people think it's easy to make money as an internet celebrity, just show your face and talk, without any technical content. This sounds reasonable, but in fact it's mainly because many people's thinking logic is not strong enough, and their judgment of things is more based on intuitive subconscious reactions without thinking.

There is no legitimate industry in this world that has low entry barriers and is easy to make money.

Even if some industries are really profitable and have low barriers to entry when they first appear, people are not blind or foolish, and it won't take long for many people to know about such opportunities. When a large number of practitioners flock to this industry, the barriers to entry, or the difficulty of making money, will be raised higher and higher.

Fortunately, Yuezhu Asuka is indeed a genius, and during this period of time she has basically been either reading industry-related books or going to Miyano Mitsuha and Sato Fujiko to read various market research reports, and her growth rate is very fast.

Under Dongchuan Che's astonished but not too surprised eyes, she slid back and forth in her small electric wheelchair, not only directing the scene but also chatting privately with various singers and artists, providing some ideas for topics that the audience would find interesting.

The effect is outstanding. Many singers and artists feel enlightened after chatting with her. What's more interesting is that

Yuezhu Asuka is a pure newcomer, and most of the invited guests came this time because of Dongchuan Che and his songs, so they didn't have any high expectations for Yuezhu Asuka at the beginning, but now Yuezhu Asuka's performance has really shattered their tinted glasses.

"This Director Yuezhu is really good. I thought before..."

"Yes, generally, variety show directors don't emphasize the shooting angle and lighting effects too much, and just tell us where the camera is. But look, this time she called the camera crew together and explained to us in detail the direction of the camera and the direction of the light. The women around Mr. Dongchuan are really great."

"Tsk, look at Mr. Dongchuan's loving eyes. Oh my god, they're almost tearing my hair out. He's the type who looks cold on the surface, but is actually very passionate in private!"

"You just found out. Haven't you noticed that Minister Ohara has been wearing different stockings every day since he joined the program team? I guess the ones he took off were either torn or were required by Mr. Fuyukawa! Tsk, tsk, tsk, men in their twenties are just full of energy!"

It must be said that the program crew is made up of women, which is indeed pleasing to the eye, but the gossip is also really gossipy.

The young girls in the new generation group were okay, but the mature women in their thirties and forties were different. They were putting on makeup, looking around, and gossiping. Dong Chuan Che was wearing glasses today, but they still said that Dong Chuan Che's eyes were about to be drawn.

It was true that they were overthinking, but as they talked, the topic finally got back on track.

"Who do you think will get the song reward for the first round?"

"I don't know, but I heard that the song reward for this episode is that Chinese song called "Seven Miles of Fragrance". Although Mr. Dongchuan's songs are also very popular in China, his most popular songs are still English songs, that is, Cantonese songs. This one... Mandarin? It's Mandarin, right? This Mandarin song... If I can get first place, I would still like to get first place next time. I really like the song "Plastic Love"."

“Me too, but I like Catch My Breach better.”

Several veteran female singers who were invited to perform this time were chatting incessantly.

Compared with other singers, although they also value the high remuneration offered by Dongchuan Che this time and the possible increase in popularity brought by this program, what they value most are the ten songs that Dongchuan Che wrote for the program team before.

Honestly, the ten songs written by Dongchuan Che this time are all very powerful, with songs by big names such as Jay Chou, JJ, Tanya Chua, and Avril Lavigne all included. You can tell that the songs are excellent as soon as you listen to them, but music is like games and movies, the eyes of professionals cannot represent the current preferences of the public.

This is why games like "Disco Elysium" and "Shadow of the Colossus" have excellent reputations in the industry, but they just can't enter the public eye.

Even "A Chinese Odyssey", which was regarded as a super classic by later generations, suffered a Waterloo at the box office that year. With a production cost of 60 million Hong Kong dollars, the final box office was only 50 million Hong Kong dollars, and the box office in mainland China was less than 400,000.

For any entertainment work that relies on emotional resonance between creators and audiences, no one can directly conclude whether it will be popular before it is opened to the public.

Therefore, although everyone present had confidence in Toru Fukawa's musical works, they still hoped to get Toru Fukawa's English or Japanese songs. After all, Toru Fukawa had more successful precedents in these two fields.

As for "Seven Miles of Fragrance".

Just a Chinese love song.

Everyone had their own thoughts, and soon, as all the Yuezhu Feiniao had finished communicating with all the invited guests, the entire program officially began recording. Including the members of the director team and the invited guests, a group of people walked towards the door.

Dongchuan Che was also ready to push the wheelchair, but the interesting thing was that Yuezhu Asuka seemed to think that filming a variety show was very interesting, and was completely immersed in the atmosphere of filming. She was operating her electric wheelchair and whirring around, which was a bit funny and cute.

"I bet this guy will go back to riding a motorcycle once his legs are healed."

Seeing Yuezhu Asuka drifting in his wheelchair to the gate in front of everyone's dazed gaze, and then directing Ms. Mori and Honda Kojiro to arrange for the first actor to get on the car, Fuyukawa Che was at a loss whether to laugh or cry for a moment, and Ohara Chika next to him was also trying to hold back her laughter.
