"Jun Lin, it seems that TBS TV station is quite optimistic about you." After the meeting, the representatives left the conference room one after another, and Koishi Takaki looked at everyone's back and said quietly. "It seems that they are still under pressure.
It’s quite big.”
Lin Junxiu nodded, and his relationship with TBS TV station was really deep. Long before he became popular, TBS TV station had given him a lot of resources to promote himself. In comparison, he was a bit "scumbag" towards TBS TV station.
Woolen cloth.
In the past, Lin Junxiu always felt that TBS TV station would inevitably decline in the coming new century. The Japanese TV industry in the 21st century was an era where Nippon TV and TV Asahi were competing for hegemony. Even if he wanted to bet, he should bet on one of them.
But the problem now is that neither Johnny & Associates nor himself have a direct channel to communicate with the senior management of Nippon Television or TV Asahi.
The main partners of Johnny & Associates are Fuji TV, TBS TV and TV Tokyo; and then they have a slightly better relationship with TV Asahi; as for Nippon TV, which leads the ratings in Japan in the 21st century, there is no good communication channel.
However, Japanese TV stations do have the confidence not to cooperate with Johnny & Associates. Its two TV show slots are dominated by female protagonists, and the male actors are basically supporting roles, and they are mainly set as working men.
The image of Johnny's male idol is too different.
But now Lin Junxiu sees another possibility, that is, he can completely participate in the TV series competition of various TV stations! Since his own film "Call for Love in the Center of the World" can be so successful, then he can transplant the TV series from later generations.
, then the chance of success is still very high. TBS TV station is still the second-largest TV station in Japan in terms of overall ratings, and the TV series production team is still good enough, and there is no serious loss like in later generations.
TBS TV station has two TV drama time slots. The Golden Ten drama is similar to the "Youth Theater", both in terms of subject matter and potential audience, it is biased towards young people; the Rijiu drama is a billboard theater of TBS TV station, and the subject matter is much more mature than the Golden Ten drama.
, basically focused on workplace dramas. Other theaters were basically short-lived theaters that lasted for a few years and then were cancelled.
In short, TBS TV station has had a lot of theater slots that have been on and off since its inception. Although TBS TV station is also a big winner of the Japanese Drama Academy Award, it is still slightly inferior to Fuji TV. Perhaps it is suppressed by Fuji TV.
After fighting for many years, it became a "deep sadomasochism". From the late 1990s to the 2000s, TBS TV station had a very obvious trend with Fuji Channel. Not only did it specially set up Japanese drama schedules similar to Fuji Channel's style, it even imitated Fuji Channel.
Taiwan embraced the trend of Korean dramas and set up a special Korean drama schedule. However, Fuji TV wanted to be alone at that time and did not want to let TBS TV station get a share of the pie. As a result, after the Korean drama schedule of TBS TV station was even more squeezed, TBS TV station and other TV stations
The TV stations united to attack Fuji TV's "Litong Korea" and destroyed Japan's domestic TV market.
If you want to cooperate with TBS TV station, should you produce new dramas within their existing Japanese drama schedules, or open up a new Japanese drama schedule?
If you cooperate with a Japanese drama in the current schedule, although you can get the bonus of accustomed ratings, on the one hand, it has to be consistent with the style of the current schedule, and on the other hand, it will conflict with other production teams with vested interests. This is not what you are doing.
The newcomer Lin Junxiu is willing to see it. But opening a new schedule will involve the coordination of the internal schedule of TBS TV station. And the important thing is that the new schedule will definitely not dare to give himself a prime time slot, so he will go to the late night slot to stay qualified.
?
In order to find a suitable schedule, Lin Junxiu specially asked his assistant to collect all the theater time slots that TBS TV station started and stopped broadcasting after 1970, as well as what TV series were mainly broadcast during these time slots and the ratings and awards of these TV series.
In addition to collecting information, Lin Junxiu also visited TBS TV station more frequently during this period. Of course, the public statement is that TBS TV station almost filmed the TV series version of "Call for Love in the Center of the World", and Lin Junxiu used to supervise the script.
Writing and selection of actors. The actual situation is that both Lin Junxiu and TBS TV station are testing to see if the two parties can reach a relatively in-depth cooperation.
Although Lin Junxiu is not a staff member of the TBS TV station production bureau, TBS TV station is not opposed to trying to "separate production and broadcasting." Through the separation of production and broadcasting, TV TOKYO obtained the planning of an afternoon information program from Lin Junxiu. Now this program
It is already a signboard program of TV Tokyo during the daytime period, and I don’t know how much advertising fees it has earned. TBS TV station is not a conservative TV company in the first place. They changed their company name from Tokyo Broadcasting Company to TBS just to highlight themselves.
International ambitions.
It's a pity that TBS is really a bit like China's Sohu. Every step is in the right direction, but it just doesn't have the guts to take one more step. So, Sohu obviously has a campus dating community earlier than FACEBOOK - but it always
It did not become a social networking site; obviously Sohu Video was involved in the purchase of genuine videos and the production of original videos earlier than other video sites, but in the end it was still not popular; even though it was finally made a hit product - Sogou input method, the result was that it could not be found
Sohu had to spin it off and resell it to Tencent in order to realize cash. If it were not confirmed that the Sohu CEO was studying in the United States, Lin Junxiu would really have doubted whether the Sohu CEO was in the same class as the TBS CEO and what their business philosophy was.
So eerily similar?
"Hey, isn't this Jun Lin? We haven't seen each other for a long time, do you want to have a casual dinner together?" Just when Junxiu Lin was about to leave TBS TV station, he met Masahiro Nakai who was recording a program on TBS TV station.
Although Masahiro Nakai is very flexible in his position as program host, in private Masahiro Nakai is a relatively silent person. Moreover, Masahiro Nakai has very few friends in the circle. He himself said that he
I prefer to drink in private with my non-showbiz friends from the past.
"Hello, Nakai-san!" In any case, Nakai Masahiro is Lin Junxiu's senior at Johnny & Associates, so Lin Junxiu stopped and said hello. "Has Nakai-san finished recording the show? If you don't disturb seniors,
If so, I don't care." It was precisely because he knew that Masahiro Nakai would not easily dine with people in his circle, so Lin Junxiu guessed that he had something to do with him.
"Yes, I just finished recording "Golden SMA"." When Masahiro Nakai talked about this program, he couldn't hide the smile on his face.
The current Masahiro Nakai is not yet the big-name host in the future. Although there are some programs where Masahiro Nakai is invited to host, most of them are variety shows and music programs, which are more consistent with Masahiro Nakai's identity as an idol; and importantly,
These programs did not give Nakai Masahiro a title, which means he still has some reservations about Nakai Masahiro. However, "Nakai Masahiro's Jin Yao Ri SMAP" (referred to as "Golden SMA") is his first sponsored series, and this
The program is still a bit documentary-oriented, so it can be regarded as a relatively high-profile educational program.
"I recently discovered that there is a store that serves good barbecue. Why don't I invite Mr. Lin to try it together today?"
In Japan, barbecue has become a relatively popular meal for entertaining. The store chosen by Zhongju Zhengguang is located in the downtown area, and it is a membership system. There are two things that make Junxiu Lin most irritated about Japanese stores.
Either it is a limited edition or it is a membership system. Especially in old business districts such as Ginza and Roppongi, many well-known restaurants are membership-based. If he hadn’t known Yasushi Akimoto, a gourmet and his beloved Ginza Mama, Junxiu Lin would not have been able to enter.
Eat at so many restaurants.
"The song "Lio" that Lin Jun wrote for us is a good song." After sitting down and ordering the food, Masahiro Nakai found a topic to talk about. "We plan to release this single in August, which coincides with
Leo's birthdays coincide with each other. And the "Shengo Mom Project" that Lin Jun helped our Shingo-chan create is really great. "Shingo Mom" is now more popular than Kimura and I. When the end of the year is approaching, we will
Taking advantage of the situation, we launch "Shenwu Mom's Good Morning Rock"."
Hearing that Masahiro Nakai brought the name Kimura Takuya, Lin Junxiu deliberately asked: "I heard that SMAP-san will have a concert tour at the end of the year. I wonder if your promotion schedule will coincide with that?"
"There's nothing we can do if we bump into each other. After all, this is our job. The worst thing we can do is let Shingo-chan work harder. A combination can't rely on just two people to become famous. Not only Shingo-chan, but Takao-kun and Goro also have to work hard.
"Masahiro Nakai said as if there was something in his words. "I heard that Lin Jun is communicating with TBS TV station and wants to achieve in-depth cooperation with TBS in TV series. If it is convenient, please Lin Jun recommend our Shingo sauce.
, where are Gojun and Goro."
Lin Junxiu knows one thing about SMAP's past, that is, in the days when SMAP's singles could not sell out, SMAP was divided into two groups internally, specializing in TV dramas and variety shows respectively. Kimura Takuya and Inagaki Goro are the drama department;
Masahiro Nakai, Tsuyoshi Kusanagi and Shingo Katori are part of the variety show team. After SMAP became popular, all members began to diversify their development.
But unfortunately, in the actor's path, Kimura Takuya has the highest achievement. Not only has he appeared in more TV series, but he has also won the most awards. Masahiro Nakai follows closely behind, but he has followed a less but more precise path.
Route. The remaining three are currently performing poorly in drama.
Inagaki Goro is actually the earliest member of SMAP to have TV resources. After all, Inagaki Goro was born to look like a boy idol. But the problem with Inagaki Goro is that if he plays a supporting role, he is often very good and can appear once he takes on the leading role.
Problem. So later on, Inagaki Goro could hardly receive drama notices from the lead actors, and began to shift his performance focus to stage plays.
Katori Shingo is the kind of actor who is also outstanding in supporting roles and starring roles, but he is limited to comedies, and they have to be very noisy comedies. Often the more exaggerated Katori Shingo's role is, the better the ratings.
On the contrary, Tsuyoshi Kusanagi is considered a late-blooming actor. With his time in Korea, he happened to coincide with the rise of Korean dramas. Therefore, being exiled to Korea turned out to be a great blessing for Tsuyoshi Kusanagi, allowing him to study in Korea.
He has good acting skills. When he returned to Japan, his drama achievements began to slowly surpass Masahiro Nakai, and he gained the reputation of "The Ten Hot Gods".
It's a pity that at this time in 2000, Lin Junxiu said sincerely that in SMAP, only Kimura and Nakai's acting skills were worthy of working together. The remaining three could be used as supporting roles, but if they were to play the lead role, Lin Junxiu would be worried.
.
"Nakaju-san, if there is a suitable script, I certainly hope to collaborate with the seniors from SMAP. But for now, I can't find a suitable script yet." Lin Junxiu said with some embarrassment, "And TBS TV station
I hope to produce some workplace dramas or dramas with female protagonists, which is not in line with the style of SMAP seniors."
