Chapter six hundred and twenty first comeback

Miss Nako, is Minister Yamazaki there?

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

Excuse me, I'll come back to Minister Yamazaki later.

...

after an hour.

Miss Nako, is Minister Yamazaki back?

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

Is Minister Yamazaki still reading the film? Well, I'll disturb 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 in a while.

...

It's time to get off work.

Miss Nako, isn't Minister Yamazaki back yet?

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

It turns out that Minister Yamazaki is forgetting about his work. The man said that, but he was thinking in his heart that Minister Yamazaki was definitely not watching a serious TV series, maybe it was a TV series with our Japanese characteristics, otherwise, how could I watch it for an entire afternoon !

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

Meteor Garden was playing on the TV. 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 soaking in the rain outside the mansion.

It was finally time for the finale, and when he saw that a lover was finally married, Takashi Yamazaki sighed: It's so touching! I thought it would be similar to the anime Boys Over Flowers, but I didn't expect it to be so adapted. It's a success! And the production is also very good. Such a good TV series, if introduced,

It will definitely be a hit!

Yamazaki Takashi's TV station is Japan's BS TV. This TV station is one of the top five private TV stations in Japan, TBS broadcast satellite TV channel, which is affiliated to the TBS Broadcasting Bureau.

BS TV 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's TV programs are still very rich, and many programs do not cost much to produce, but they are very interesting. So there is no shortage of good programs on Japanese TV.

For big TV stations such as Fuji, Asahi, etc., Japanese-made TV series have to be lined up to broadcast. Where can there be a living space for introducing TV series.

Moreover, even if Japan introduces Chinese TV dramas, they are basically based on costume 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 the Japanese prefer the culture of the Three Kingdoms.

In addition, such as Han Zhu Ge Ge in the early years, and later The Legend of Zhen Huan, Ruyi's Royal Love in the Palace, Langya Bang, Story of Yanxi Palace, etc., Japanese TV stations also introduced them. These are all ancient costumes. drama.

In addition, there are several martial arts dramas of Jin Yong heroes that have been remade in many versions, 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 stronger than the surrounding areas. Since I have better ones myself, there is no need for them 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 broadcast cartoons in Japan, and it can be regarded as a relatively mature IP. It has some fan groups in itself, which also gave Meteor Garden a chance.

The second reason is that this TV series does not need money and is broadcast to BS TV for free.

Puppy Entertainment has bought the broadcast rights of Meteor Garden in Japan, and then gave it to BS TV for free, the purpose is to promote F4.

However, even if it is given for free, BS TV is still a little reluctant, and they still can't trust the production level of TV dramas in other regions.

It is also a shame that BS TV has just been established, and its scale is not large. If the scale is slightly larger and the history is slightly longer, they may not agree to review the film.

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

Now this Meteor Garden has more investment and more sophisticated production, so it can naturally enter the eyes of BS TV.

The production fee of NT$700,000 for one episode was not too small at that time. In addition, several leading actors in Meteor Garden are not yet famous, so the remuneration is almost negligible. The crew's money is spent on production, which also makes the production level of this Meteor Garden beyond the normal Taiwan drama at that time. Level.

As for the lead actor's acting skills, this can be ignored. Watching idol dramas, that pays attention to acting skills! As long as the plot is bloody enough, even if the protagonist's appearance is not so beautiful, it can attract the audience.

Originally, BS TV introduced Meteor Garden a year later. At that time, F4 was already popular in Asia, and it also gained some fame in Japan. Many Japanese viewers watched Meteor Garden for the fame of F4.

And this TV series is indeed very popular in Japan. In the one year after the BS TV broadcast, there are 15 TV stations in Japan, which have broadcast Meteor Garden one after another.

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

In 2005, Japan's TBS directly remade Boys Over Flowers. Although the filming was mediocre, it also had an average audience rating of 19.8%.

This is still quite a big gap compared to Kimura Takuya's 30% ratings, but it defeated Fuji TV's Month 9 drama at that time and won the championship in autumn ratings, and starred Matsumoto Jun, Oguri Shun, Inoue Mao and others are also popular.

Then remake the film, and it also won a box office of 7.75 billion yen. For urban romance films, 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 gap of advertising spokesperson, Li Weidong decided to introduce Meteor Garden to Japan in advance, and also made F4 become popular in advance.

...

For BS TV, given the relatively conservative nature of the Japanese, it is quite risky to broadcast an imported modern urban drama.

Fortunately, Meteor Garden is a work of Japanese comics, so the controversy will be much smaller.

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

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

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

Immediately afterwards, applause broke out, and the whole office was applauding Yamazaki Takashi.

What happened? Yamazaki Takashi was stunned.

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

Japan's office culture does not advocate individuality at all. When office workers stay in the office, everyone has a poker face and is doing their own work. There is a feeling of being in prison, so the Japanese office is also called The most boring office in the world.

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

When Yamazaki Takashi was still confused, someone immediately explained: Minister Yamazaki, the viewership rate of Boys Over Flowers we introduced exceeded 5%!

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

A 5% viewership rating is not good at all in Japanese dramas. If it were placed on a larger TV station, such ratings could directly cut the drama.

However, for BS TV, this is an unimaginable rating data.

BS TV just opened in December last year, and now it is estimated that it has not accumulated a few regular viewers. It is not bad that people can watch the broadcasts while changing channels.

And how could such a small TV station compete with the big TV station for ratings? Just like the golden period of Month 9, Kimura Takuya alone can harvest 30% of the TV audience for Fuji.

The remaining TV stations, TBS TV stations, Asahi TV stations, and Nippon TV stations will also put their trump card TV series on this schedule. In this way, the space for small TV stations is very limited.

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

Facing such ratings, Yamazaki Takashi already realized that he had 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, among the small TV stations, it had already begun to dominate.

When the plot was halfway through, Meteor Garden had already attracted the attention of a lot of Japanese media, and even the cadres of TBS TV came directly to the door, hoping to broadcast Meteor Garden on TBS TV.

TBS is one of the top five TV stations in Japan. It can be broadcast on TBS TV station, and the ratings will jump at least 10%.

When the cadres of TBS learned that Puppy Entertainment gave free broadcasting rights, they decided to introduce Meteor Garden to TBS TV without hesitation.

Free things are quite delicious, even a veteran TV station with deep pockets like TBS can't stop the pie falling from the sky.

Every year, many of the people who collect the one dollar, sixty-eight cents and five-fortune red envelopes are rich people with tens of millions of assets! Are they missing that dollar and sixty-eight in their pockets? What they lack is free, because free is delicious!

Immediately afterwards, other TV stations followed suit. It's free anyway, so don't give up!

Historically, the broadcasting rights of Meteor Garden were paid for, and they were broadcast on 15 Japanese TV stations. Now that it is free, not all major TV stations have come over.

For a time, Meteor Garden can always be seen on Japanese TV in various time periods.

At the same time, the advertisements of Puppy Electric also made a comeback. The advertisements endorsed by Kimura Takuya, which were originally withdrawn, were all replaced by F4 and re-launched on the market.

In the TV series of Meteor Garden, there are many implants of puppy electrical appliances. Now Meteor Garden is popular in Japan, and the advertisement of puppy electrical appliances endorsed by F4 is also launched on various TV stations in Japan.

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

When the TV station started to broadcast Meteor Garden, the puppy electric appliance advertisement endorsed by F4 also arrived as promised, which can be described as accurate delivery.

While chasing the drama, I saw the product advertisement endorsed by the idol in the drama, and the impression of this product instantly filled up.

Moreover, in the Japanese market, puppy appliances are also the main beauty products, in addition to small appliances and kitchen appliances, these are mainly aimed at female consumer groups, just as soon as the audience of Meteor Garden arrives, the advertising effect is very good. More with less effort.

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

...

Mizu Iijima is on his way back to Johnny's Office.

Just now, Iijima Mizhi just helped Kimura Takuya negotiate an advertisement, which is to endorse Nikon's camera.

Kimura Takuya's basis is the male artist with the highest price in the whole day, and because of his high net worth, Kimura Takuya's advertising is not cost-effective.

Nowadays, Takuya Kimura is looking for endorsements from big brands, such as international giants such as Toyota Motor, high-margin products such as brand-name cosmetics, or high-tech products such as digital cameras.

In short, they are all high value-added products, so I can afford Takuya Kimura as an endorsement.

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

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

Due to Mito Iijima's excellent work performance, she is already the most favorable candidate for the successor of Johnny's Office. Even President Kitagawa has hinted that she is optimistic about Mito Iijima's succession.

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

Just when Iijima Sanzhi was complacent, an advertisement on a building ahead caught the attention of Iijima Sanzhi. There are four handsome young men in the advertisement, and what they are holding is a beauty instrument.

This beauty instrument, Iijima Mizhi is very familiar with, it is the style that Kimura Takuya once endorsed.

Puppy Electric's beauty device! Iijima Mizhi recognized it immediately. Because she herself is using this beauty device.

Are those four handsome young people the new spokespersons for Puppy Electric? They look a little naive, are they a new group recently? The image looks pretty good, but I don't know which company's artist they are. Iijima Mizhi said.

Johnny's Office, where Mitsuchi Iijima is located, UU Reading www.uukanshu.com is famous for cultivating male artist groups, and Kimura Takuya is a member of the SMAP group. Therefore, Iijima Sanzhi is very sensitive to male idol groups.

The helper next to him replied: This group is called F4, not from Japan, but an idol group from Taiwan, China. They participated in a TV series based on the comic Boys Over Flowers, which was just introduced recently. Japan, on a few small TV stations.

So it's not a Japanese group, it's a pity for these handsome faces! Iijima Sanzhi curled his lips in disdain, and then said: I think Puppy Electric is desperately ill, do 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? The HOT group in South Korea, boasted so powerfully in the media before, said that it was the most popular singing group in South Korea's history, and wouldn't it be unaccustomed to Japan!

It is not 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. It won't be long before they will fade out of the Japanese market together with Puppy Electric!
