Life in Tokyo starting as a child star

"So, what should we do next?"

After bidding farewell to Kita Sumire, Akihiro Heikawa, who roughly finished filming the first episode of "Kita Sumire·China Trip Special", touched his chin and was in a dilemma.

The material that Kita Sumire filmed at the airport was too "explosive". If it was put into the program as it was, let alone the ratings, the program team would definitely not be able to stop the overwhelming flames.

Most of the material at the airport could not be used.

And the material after the airport was filmed a bit mediocre - it was the kind of variety show where Japanese stars came to China to eat, drink and play.

Although it was interesting overall.

But compared to the thrilling explosion point at the airport, Akihiro Heikawa felt that it was a little worse, and could only be said to be above average in the program "Where to Go".

If this was an ordinary variety show "Where to Go", it would be fine.

The problem is that this is the first episode of "China Special".

If the first episode is above average and fails to catch the audience's attention, it will be difficult to get the audience to follow the next few episodes.

The ratings may drop to a certain extent.

I can only say that people are greedy.

Seeing such excellent material as Kita Sumire at the airport, they can only bear the discomfort and use the above average material in the future.

Akihiro Bianchuan felt uncomfortable as if there were ants crawling on his body. He really wanted to use Kita Sumire's material regardless of everything.

But——

"It turns out that this is the only way."

Putting down the mouse in his hand, Akihiro Bianchuan finally sighed, and at the same time glanced at the cameraman beside him, indicating that the other party should send the edited program recording to the Nichi-Chao TV station, and then let the post-production and editing engineers there handle the editing.

There is no way. It is better to land smoothly than to be burned.

At present, their "Where to Go" program team can only rely on this material in hand to retain the audience as much as possible.

"I just hope the ratings don't drop."

Watching the program recording being sent successfully, Akihiro Bianchuan took a deep breath.

After all, it was just above-average material. He just hoped the ratings wouldn't drop - especially the 10% ratings line, which was the lifeline of their "Where to Go" program team.

It was because of the 10% high ratings that their program team could thrive in the Nichijo TV station, and the people on the TV station committee also held them high, basically giving them money and people - which TV station doesn't like a stable 10% old-fashioned program?

But if the ratings fall from the 10% safety line.

Although they won't turn against each other on the spot, the committee will definitely hold an emergency meeting to inquire about the situation and improvement measures.

If the ratings continue to fall, their program team will probably have to make a big change - don't think it's cruel, this is the ecology of the TV station industry.

If the ratings are high, you are the double flower red stick of the TV station, and if the ratings are low, you are the joke of all departments.

Shaking his head, Akihiro Bianchuan did not continue thinking, but began to prepare for the second episode of "Where to Go·China Special" - he wanted to try the shooting method of the completely different cultural concepts between China and Japan that he had thought of before.

In this way, a few days passed.

When the ratings of the first episode of "Where to Go·China Special" were officially released.

Akihiro Bianchuan and the staff of the program group who were far away in China were stunned.

Because it was different from the situation that the ratings of the first episode had dropped as they had imagined.

The average ratings of the first episode of "Where to Go·China Special" were 12.61%! The highest ratings of the broadcast reached 13.19%!

On the Internet, in just the past night, the number of replays of "Where to Go·China Special" has reached 196,400.

You should know that the ratings of the previous episode of "Where to Go·Nara Deer" were only 10.09% on average, and the number of online replays was only a pitiful 50,000 times.

This data is so terrifying that Akihiro Bianchuan, who got the data form, was not surprised at all, but was a little confused.

The main reason is that it is really confusing.

All the members of the program team present have watched the program materials shot with Kita Chengmi, and generally feel that it is only above average.

But it is this above average level that has achieved the third highest ratings in the history of their program team!

You must know that this is the ratings data that has been destroyed by digital devices such as mobile phones and computers.

If their program was just launched seven or eight years ago, Kita Chengmi's episode would definitely be the well-deserved first in ratings.

But

"Why?"

After turning on the computer and watching the recording of this episode on the Internet, Akihiro Bianchuan touched his head and was puzzled.

He originally thought that the post-production editor had exerted his strength, and maybe some interesting editing was done to attract the audience.

But after watching it carefully, he found that he was wrong.

The post-production editor is just at the usual level, steady and stable.

That's strange.

This episode should not be that attractive, so why is the result so good?

"Is it possible that it is because of the invitation of Bei Chengjun? The celebrity effect or something like that."

Someone couldn't help but speak up.

"Celebrity effect?"

When this was said, Akihiro Bianchuan was stunned, and then found that it seemed to be true.

Because of the various actions taken by Kita Sumire at the airport.

As a result, they completely focused on the program effect, but ignored the fact that the appearance of Kita Sumire's sub-actor could bring a lot of attention to the "Where to Go" program.

After all, the other party had just won the Blue Ribbon Award and was in the vortex of the Japanese Academy Awards.

His reputation itself is not weak.

Therefore, even if their program team did not do any program effects, just ordinary filming could attract a lot of viewers.

However.

"If it is really like what we said, then how popular is Kita Sumire in China now?"

Akihiro Bianchuan muttered to himself.

As the program director of "Where to Go", he naturally has attention from the sub-actor and adult actor circles.

But the average ratings jumped directly from 10.09% to 12.61%.

This is a bit too exaggerated.

Being able to achieve this effect in the TV industry that is different from the past, it is completely okay to call Kita Chengshi a ratings harvester.

Let's take a look at the specific situation of variety shows on other TV stations?

Everyone is generally struggling in the mud pit of an average rating of 2% or 3%.

Even if you look up, the average rating of the second-ranked variety show is only about 8.13%.

Their program group's "Where to Go" is simply a gap-level lead in this issue.

Let's take a look at the ratings of Japanese dramas in the winter season?

The average ratings of the first-ranked Japanese drama are only about 12.2%. "Where to Go" has a small advantage, but it is still in the leading position.

In other words, variety shows and Japanese dramas belong to completely different types of programs, not in the same track, otherwise they can even squeeze in and get the first place on both charts.

And all this is just because they invited Kita Chengshi, a child actor, to participate in the program.

Silence.

After realizing this, the scene fell into a strange silence.

After about ten seconds of silence, someone whispered. "Director Bianchuan, do you want to invite Kita Sumire to participate in our program again? Otherwise, why not just film the entire "China Special" around him?"

The entire special is filmed around a guest.

To be honest, this is the first time in the seven or eight years of history of "Where to Go".

If it were usual, Bianchuan Akihiro would probably refuse without hesitation.

But this time, he was silent, really thinking about the feasibility of the other party's words.

After all, in the television industry, ratings are the only standard that can directly reflect the value of your program.

If it's popular, there will be budget and staff.

If it's a flop, it will be adjusted down and laughed at.

This is the code of conduct for TV stations.

And actors like Kita Sumire who can attract ratings as soon as they appear are undoubtedly real "strong generals" in the fierce competition.

Since ratings can be harvested by just using Kita Sumire.

Then why do they still have to go to the trouble of various publicity and planning?

Don't say that relying on Kita Sumire's "out-of-the-box tactics" is too despicable, it's not direct competition at all, and nothing can be achieved without Kita Sumire.

We are all adults, so be more mature.

Besides, even if their program team does not establish a stable cooperative relationship with Kita Sumire, there will be other TV stations that will contact Kita Sumire.

Especially after this episode, Akihiro Bianchuan dare not think about how popular Kita Sumire will be in major TV stations in the future.

After all, major TV stations are not fools. There must be a reason why the variety show "Where to Go", which has been declining recently, suddenly has a "second life".

After a while, they will definitely find that it is the problem of Kita Sumire, the child actor.

Rather than watching Kita Sumire's "nuclear weapon" fall into someone else's hands.

It is better for them to establish a stable relationship with Kita Sumire first!

Akihiro Bianchuan is thinking here.

At the same time, at the filming site of "The Reason I'm Here" in China——

"Huh? All the major Japanese TV stations have increased their invitations to work for me?"

Lying on his children's recliner, listening to Tamura Koji's words, Kitasumi was stunned for a moment, and propped up his body: "What do you mean?"

You know, although he won the Blue Ribbon Best Actor and Best Supporting Actor awards, he also offended the three major film companies, Takematsu, Hoto, and Kawasaki.

And these three major film companies have various economic cooperation relationships with major TV stations such as Fuji, Tokyo, and Sakura.

In theory, for a child actor like him who is on the "blacklist", these TV stations should consider reducing their cooperation with him.

Why is it increasing instead of decreasing?

"This is probably because you, Kitasumi, participated in the program "Where to Go?"

Tamura Koji explained the recent ratings of the program "Where to Go".

"Is that so?"

Listening to Tamura Koji's explanation, Kitasumi was also a little surprised.

Although he won an award in Japan, he has never been aware of his fame.

Even though people would recognize him and ask for his autograph when he was walking on the street, he didn't really care, just thought it was human nature.

After all, in his previous life in China.

Kitami Minori also saw that there were many star-chasing fanatics who blocked the airport corridor bridge and had to be cleared by security guards before they could pass - compared to those so-called 'brothers', where was he?

But now it seems

He seems to be really moving step by step towards becoming a top-notch slave.

After all, if he wants to achieve this kind of effect in the Japanese television industry, it already shows that he already has the characteristics of a top-notch hero.

In this case, the filming of "The Reason I'm Here" is even more important.

only.

Lifting his head and looking at Kitano Fumi, who was frowning and venting his dissatisfaction to the male protagonist in front of him in a rough voice, Kitumi Minoru was a little speechless again.

There is no other reason.

The scene in front of me has been filmed three or four times and has not been completed yet.

This was originally a very simple reunion scene.

The male protagonist Lu Zhihong returned home with his wife and son.

Then Lu Zhihong's parents greeted their son with greetings, and his son Lu Zhihong smiled apologetically and said sorry for being away from home for so long.

It was such an ordinary and simple scene that was enjoyable but stopped repeatedly three or four times.

It's not Kitami Minoru's problem, nor is it Mikawa Nao's problem who has gradually become accustomed to showing emotions.

It's about the actor responsible for playing the male protagonist Lu Zhihong.

It's just such a simple scene.

But the other party couldn't even manage his expression.

It's obviously a place that requires an 'apologetic smile'.

He simply looked mournful - not like he was smiling, but like his parents had died.

His script skills are even worse.

An ordinary line was suddenly spoken by him and made it feel like a "great read".

This kind of performance, let alone Kitano Fumi.

Even the always good-tempered Kitami Minoru couldn't help but frown, and felt even more outrageous - there was a feeling of 'How can such a person be an actor in China?'

Yes.

In order to fit the plot, Kitano Fumi chose actors from China in the casting of Lu Zhihong.

To be honest, this actor is very good-looking.

She is white and tender, with fine skin and tender flesh all over her body. In addition, the other party's appearance is not bad, and the overall look is like a handsome young man.

It's just that there's something unnatural about the other person's 'handsomeness'.

Different from Kitami Minoru's clear and handsome feeling, there is an inexplicable sense of femininity between the other person's eyebrows.

At that time, Beicheng Minoru was already frowning a little when he saw it.

Because the other party's face was completely powdered and his body smelled obviously of perfume, which fit all the stereotypes he had about "little fresh meat" actors in China.

However, the person who chose the role was Kitano Fumi after all, so Kitami Minoru didn’t say much.

But now it looks like.

"Isn't this a real young actor?"

Beicheng Minoru had a headache.

Xiaoxianrou. That is a pig teammate who can truly destroy a drama.

One more chapter! Keep up the good work!
