Life in Tokyo starting as a child star

Chapter 422: Don’t let your wife make the same mistake over and over again!

In the new week, Tokyo TV’s prime-time TV series achieved quite good results.

The highest instantaneous ratings of 14.16% and the average ratings of 13.67%.

It even ranked second in the ratings rankings, second only to Fuji TV’s new drama “Good Morning, World”, and one place higher than the prime-time TV series of its arch-rival Sakura TV.

However, as a TV producer, Kei Sakamoto was not proud of the excellent results of the program he was responsible for.

The reason is also very simple——

“Oh? Sakamoto-san is here, come and take a look at this data table, wow, this is really unexpected.”

The producer wearing glasses invited Kei Sakamoto while looking at the data statistics table on the table and exclaimed.

Beside him was the producer who had dinner with Kei Sakamoto last week.

At this time, the group of producers were also amazed, as if they had discovered something surprising.

“What’s wrong?”

Kei Sakamoto had just come to work and had not yet gone to get this week’s ratings statistics.

It was a bit strange to see them circling around the ratings table.

"Do you remember the "Her and Him" ​​we talked about before, Sakamoto-san?"

"Her and Him?"

Kei Sakamoto, who had been planning to focus on the dynamics of "Her and Him" ​​today, heard this and his expression changed instantly.

"Did the ratings of "Her and Him" ​​skyrocket?"

He put down his briefcase and walked forward to ask.

"It is indeed a skyrocketing, look."

The producer next to him handed over the table.

"Huh?"

Kei Sakamoto didn't hesitate to take the table and scanned it.

Then

he was silent.

Because the data on the table is quite concise.

It is so concise that you can see at a glance that the instantaneous ratings of "Her and Him" ​​this week are 4.12%, and the average ratings are 3.92%.

"." Kei Sakamoto.

What is the situation with this ratings?

Is it a rocket?

How could such a garbage time period increase so much?

According to Kei Sakamoto's estimate, the ratings of "Her and Him" ​​will at most increase to the range of 2.8% to 2.9%.

This data does not mean that Kei Sakamoto looks down on "Her and Him". On the contrary, it is because he thinks highly of this TV series that he gave this final data.

You should know that 2.8% to 2.9% is the highest ratings of major TV stations in this time period last year.

But "Her and Him" ​​still far exceeded his imagination.

3.92% of the ratings share. This is already a bit wrong.

And probably aware of his mood, the colleague next to him also sighed at the right time: "To be honest, it is really hard to imagine that a low-cost TV series can achieve such a result."

The other party's voice was full of sighs, but it just stopped at sighs.

I heard him quickly change the subject and added with a smile: "But it's not a big problem, right? The time period qualifications are not good, and the cost is small. It should be its limit to be able to rise to this point."

He didn't really care.

Obviously, he didn't take the temporary increase of "Her and Him" ​​to heart.

After all, TV dramas all have a beginning, a middle, and an end.

This is especially true for the structure of Japanese dramas.

First, use one or two episodes to lay the suspense, and then in the third episode, there will be a climax release.

In this way, there will naturally be a difference in ratings between the series.

It's like a certain 10-fold payback series back then, when the villain knelt down and all the frustration and shame were vomited out, it directly created the myth of Heisei ratings.

"Her and Him" ​​must have reached a climax of the series, so there is an increase in ratings - this is completely understandable.

". I hope so."

Kei Sakamoto nodded reluctantly, agreeing with the other party's statement.

But is it really that simple?

3.92% average ratings. No matter how you think about it, it is not a normal growth range.

Especially last week, "Her and Him" ​​did not even break 2%.

An ominous premonition gradually spread in my heart.

Because of the "Her and Him" ​​incident. Kei Sakamoto seemed to be worried all day, and he was distracted only once during the meeting.

Until the end of get off work, Kei Sakamoto returned home.

His wife Kanae Sakamoto's recent state is also very strange.

How to say it

It feels more like a second spring.

Every day when she comes home, she carefully prepares warm meals for him.

Her attitude is also much more enthusiastic than before.

And the biggest change is that Kanae Sakamoto seems to like dressing up more.

Not only did she buy a whole set of cosmetics, but she also bought some beautiful skirts.

She looks radiant from a distance.

Recently, Kei Sakamoto seems to have heard that his wife is actively participating in the activities of the town committee.

This is really much more lively than Kanae Sakamoto before.

Although his previous wife was gentle and virtuous, she always gave Kei Sakamoto a feeling of lack of vitality and lack of enthusiasm for life.

But now she has changed so much.

Kei Sakamoto put down his chopsticks and looked at his wife on the other side.

Looking at his wife trying on a new long skirt in front of the mirror, he really couldn't help but speak.

"Speaking of which, Kanae, you said before that you were participating in the activities of the town committee when you were free at home, right? What activities were they?"

This was just a simple question from a husband who cared about his wife.

Sakamoto Kei thought that there was no questioning or other tone mixed in.

However, what he didn't expect was that in the face of his ordinary question.

His wife, who had always been generous and generous, actually paused, her face flushed and looked a little... embarrassed?

No?

What's going on?

Looking at his wife's rosy cheeks, as if she was unable to speak, Sakamoto Kei was stunned.

After a while, he heard Kanae Sakamoto's embarrassed voice.

"That...the content of the activity is really inconvenient to disclose, and Kei is not a member of the town committee, so I'm very sorry."

Inconvenient to disclose?

No? Kanae, are you sure you are participating in a serious activity? Why is it inconvenient to disclose?

The town committee is actually their folk name.

This thing has a fairly formal name, called the Town Association, which was generally established in 1930.

At the beginning, it was an organization for the town to upload public opinion to the government, which is equivalent to the neighborhood committee in China.

However, after so many years, apart from some elderly people, the only people who are willing to actively participate in the activities of the town association are some housewives who stay at home and have nothing to do after doing housework.

The activities of the town association are also quite simple.

It is nothing more than organizing cherry blossom viewing activities in spring, holding a cool-down party in summer, and occasionally representing the residents of the town to attend government meetings. That's all.

And these activities. No matter how you look at it, they have nothing to do with "inconvenient to disclose".

His wife's reaction of wanting to cover up something made Kei Sakamoto feel quite wrong.

But he couldn't tell what was wrong.

Combined with the various strange changes that his wife had recently undergone.

Kei Sakamoto's heart skipped a beat.

A feeling that something seemed to be put on his head swept over his heart.

He didn't continue to ask more questions, but secretly decided to ask for leave from the TV station tomorrow, and he must find out what his wife was doing recently.

Anyway, it's already the second week, and all the work that needs to be negotiated has been negotiated, and the situation of the TV series is also approaching stability.

The most important thing is - he doesn't want to become the kind of office worker in some small movies who only cares about work but doesn't know that his home has been robbed.

Just like that, there was no conversation all night until the next day.

The next morning.

Eating the increasingly exquisite dishes made by his wife, Kei Sakamoto felt like there was something stuck in his throat and couldn't swallow it at all.

Especially looking at his wife who had started to dress up early in the morning.

He felt like he couldn't even eat.

Started to dress up early in the morning.?

Is the activity of the neighborhood association really that serious?

Isn't that just a gathering of housewives chatting?

"She and Him" ​​is fierce.

The family side has an inexplicable feeling of "fragmentation".

Kei Sakamoto's mood gradually became complicated. After a heavy sigh, he put down the bowl and chopsticks, stood up and walked out the door.

But this time he didn't go to work directly.

Instead, she hid at the corner of the street with her briefcase, looking in the direction of her home.

As expected, about thirty minutes later, the door of her house opened, and Kanae Sakamoto, who was dressed beautifully, walked out.

Her fair face, the right amount of light makeup, beautiful and clean big eyes, and the mature long skirt that suited a housewife like her made her whole person have an indescribable charm.

Seeing this, Kei Sakamoto felt even more sad and angry.

Okay!

Town Association activities?

I don't believe you!

Do you need to dress up so beautifully to go out for the activities of the Town Association?

His whole face darkened, and he followed his wife silently.

Kanae Sakamoto walked very anxiously, and her small steps were very tight, as if she was in a hurry to meet someone.

"Woo——"

Covering his chest with his hands, Kei Sakamoto not only gritted his teeth, but also felt an inexplicable sadness, and finally sighed deeply.

When Kanae Sakamoto came to see him, she also looked like a young girl in love.

Her long skirt fluttered in the wind.

And her shy and childish face.

It also touched his heart.

But he really didn't expect that

She would show the same expression as before.

How could he not feel complicated?

But complicated as it was.

Kei Sakamoto did not forget to follow.

And it was not until the next corner that he saw his wife gradually stop.

This made Kei Sakamoto more certain of his thoughts.

Because this was not the location of the town club at all.

But Kei Sakamoto was not in a hurry to show up.

After all, some things can only be settled if they are caught on the spot, and it is meaningless to mention it later.

Thinking of this, he took a deep breath, suppressed the emotions in his chest, and slowly moved forward.

At the same time, a teasing sound rang out.

"Mrs. Kanae, you're so slow."

"I can't help it, Mrs. Takenaka, my husband just went to work, and I have kids to take care of here."

Sakamoto Kei recognized the owner of the voice at once.

This is the voice of their next-door neighbor, Mrs. Takenaka.

But why is she here?

And it sounds like she's not the only one here?

If it's a private reunion, wouldn't the fewer people the better?

Sakamoto Kei really couldn't understand.

But the next second, Mrs. Takenaka's voice seemed to answer his doubts.

"Oh, my husband is the same. I waited for him to go out and rushed over immediately. Oh, I'm really looking forward to today's activities."

"."Sakamoto Kei.

Listening to the voices of Mrs. Takenaka and a bunch of mature women next to him, a bold idea came to Sakamoto Kei's mind.

Could it be a group of.?

At this moment, Sakamoto Kei, who was conservative in his thinking, finally couldn't stand it anymore and walked out of his hiding place, holding his breath.

"Wait! Kanae, what are you going to do?!"

His voice was loud and confident.

His tone was so serious that people just felt inexplicably timid.

Yes.

He wanted to stop his wife, at least not let her "make the same mistake again and again".

However, when he saw clearly what the housewives in front of him were discussing.

They were holding something similar to a cheering board with a line of words written on it - 'Please be sure to watch the TV series "She and Him" ​​on Tuesday morning! Please support the little angel Kitasumi! '

"Uh"

At this moment.

Sakamoto Kei was silent.

All the stern and confident expressions just now turned into speechlessness and headaches at this moment.

Looking at the frightened housewives in front of him.

Sakamoto Kei just felt that he had been screwed by a dog.

No?

Do you like this drama so much?

Do you have to organize a special cheering event for this drama? !

It's really unnecessary!

Good night everyone -
