Many things in the entertainment industry are uncertain. Even if you sign a contract, you can breach the contract, as long as someone can bear the cost of breach of contract. Of course, although there is a possibility of breach of contract, signing a contract is better than not signing a contract.

People were reassured. Because of this, Oscar Communications took Ryoko Yonekura to the headquarters of the show production company with great fanfare.

Even though Show Production is a rising star in the Japanese film and television industry, its performance is so dazzling that major agencies have already stored Show Production’s company address and the contact information of related persons in their own contact books. Show

The production headquarters is still in Minato City. There is no way. This is the closest place to major TV stations and major entertainment companies. Moreover, Lin Junxiu himself owns a property here, so Show Production just moved the production department to Hachioji.

It's just a city.

Although Lin Junxiu is very jealous of Toei Corporation and TBS TV station's film and television city near Tokyo, he also knows that he was reborn too late and missed the best opportunity to expand in Tokyo. Fortunately, Hachioji City is also beautiful.

, TV City can still be repaired slowly. Besides, Lin Junxiu knows that Hachioji City will become the academy city with the largest concentration of young people in Tokyo in the future. Isn’t the favorite thing for a group of college students to do is eat, drink and have fun?

Therefore, Hachioji Movie City, a subsidiary of Shu Productions, is built like a theme resort park. Except for a small number of professional studios, can’t the rest of the scenes be used by college students in Hachioji City to have fun? Anyway, college students have limited spending power.

, the pricing of Hachioji Studios is in line with them.

Compared with Junxiu Lin's branches in Hachioji City such as Washi Productions, this headquarters building in Minato City is relatively low-key. However, because it is an old building and needs to be renovated in a place like Tokyo, the

The cost is no less than building a new building directly in Hachioji City. Therefore, Lin Junxiu retained the appearance of the old building and only renovated the interior of the building.

For the two people who came to visit Oscar Communication for the first time, the style here was really beyond their expectations. The style of many companies in Japan is either the traditional Japanese bubble economy era decoration style, or the luxurious style.

It seems to be the style of a five-star hotel, but the show production side has an American industrial style that is very rare for Japanese companies.

Not to mention, Lin Junxiu's pretentious style has actually been praised by many Japanese decoration magazines and architecture magazines, and is considered to be the company with the strongest personal style among Japan's emerging companies.

After telling the girl at the front desk why she was here, the girl at the front desk communicated with the people in Lin Junxiu's office. Speaking of which, Lin Junxiu's office is a specialized department in this office building. After all, this small building has the most outstanding talents of Lin Junxiu.

The headquarters of most companies. Some simply set up offices here, with the real headquarters in Saitama Prefecture or Hachioji City; while some really put their business departments or marketing departments here, after all, they are in Minato City.

It sounds high-end and classy, ​​right?

It’s hard to say what kind of department Lin Junxiu’s office is. It can be said to be Lin Junxiu’s personal brokerage department, or it can be said to be the president’s office of major companies. In short, it is such a hybrid.

Not long after, Yonekura Ryoko saw a blonde girl walking down. She first checked with the front desk, and then came to Yonekura Ryoko. "Nice to meet you, I am Mr. Lin's personal assistant.

Jessica, please come with me now."

Seeing that a foreign girl was used as an assistant, Lin Junxiu's image immediately improved a lot in the two people's minds. But if Lin Junxiu knew about it, they would just say it was a misunderstanding, because this girl is one of Lin Junxiu's senior students.

When she came to study at Tokyo University, she came from a Hollywood family, so she was very interested in the Japanese film and television industry. If the girl's family background was more prominent, she could naturally successfully enter Fuji TV or Toei as an intern.

But the girl's family is only second-rate in Hollywood, so naturally it is not in the eyes of Japan's first-rate film and television entertainment companies. And Japan's second-rate and third-rate companies are not particularly suitable until Lin Junxiu's show production appears. Because it is

His senior sister, Lin Junxiu had no choice but to let her be his assistant after being entrusted by relevant people and professors.

Jessica took Ryoko Yonekura and her agent to the exclusive conference room on the fifth floor, and then asked them to wait. After about five minutes, Lin Junxiu came over with his team. Ryoko Yonekura saw

When Lin Junxiu was working, he found that the childishness on his face seemed to have faded a lot. Now Lin Junxiu is not much different from the bosses he usually sees.

"Lin Sang, I just received your invitation, so I brought Ryoko here to confirm it with you." Nagura Ryoko's manager said flatteringly, "I heard that you have reached an agreement with Nippon Television.

Are you going to produce three 'Water Ten' TV series for Nippon Television in the next two years? And you intend to hand over the leading role of these three TV series to our Ryoko?"

"Strictly speaking, this is a '2+5+3' comprehensive packaging agreement." Lin Junxiu said, "Because if we succeed in the first two years, we will start the production of another series of masterpieces, and this one

The main protagonist of the masterpiece is still Yonekura-san. If we continue to be successful in the next five years, then we will initiate the final three-year agreement and continue to invite Yonekura-san to be the main protagonist. In other words, we hope to work with Yonekura-san and

Oscar Communications has reached a 10-year cooperation agreement.”

"Ten years?" The manager looked at Lin Junxiu in shock.

The average acting life of female artists in the entertainment industry is not as good as that of male artists. Female idols usually face the pressure to retire when they reach the age of 20; while female singers and actresses usually wait until the age of 40 and it is almost time to leave the entertainment industry. After all,

Evergreen female artists like Kuroyanagi Tetsuko, Mori Mitsuko, and Kuki Shirin are very rare. Even Yonekura Ryoko herself doesn’t think she can continue to stay in the entertainment industry in ten years. Therefore, they are very optimistic about the ten-year agreement.

There is great rejection.

"Please rest assured, even if everything goes well and the ten-year contract can be fully implemented, we will not occupy all of Yonekura-san's ten years." Koishi Takaki explained in charge, "We just hope that within these ten years, Yonekura-san will be executed by us.

During the filming schedule, don’t do anything that is not conducive to drama shooting, and just cooperate with our daily content such as promotions. We believe that Yonekura-san in ten years will definitely be one of the top big-moon actresses in Japan. This may require

Only when we both believe in each other.”

"Do you guarantee that I can star in at least one prime-time Japanese drama every year in the past ten years?" Ryoko Yonekura asked.

Under normal circumstances, when the two companies are negotiating, artists rarely express their opinions. Because once an artist expresses an opinion, it is usually regarded as the final opinion, and it is difficult for both parties to change the situation. But this time Yonekura Ryoko spoke up, Oscar

The agent sent to her by the media did not give any warning. After all, this was a very important decision for Yonekura Ryoko, and it was better for Yonekura to control it herself.

"One guaranteed minimum, two at most." Lin Junxiu gave the answer, "Of course, SP and stuff are not included."

"What if the script is not suitable or the quality of the script is not enough?" Ryoko Yonekura asked another question, "I need guarantees."

"Whether it is suitable and whether it is excellent, I think there is no way to quantify it, right?" Lin Junxiu said, "It would be better if the average ratings of our last Japanese drama ranked among the top three in the same season or were nominated for an Academy Award.

Even if it is qualified, then Yonekura-san cannot refuse our next cooperation. I think this should be a very objective and widely accepted judging standard, right?"

"What about the Hashida Prize or the Galaxy Prize?" Ryoko Yonekura asked again, "I hope to be recognized by some awards."

There are quite a lot of TV awards in Japan, and domestic audiences may be most familiar with the Academy Awards. This is an award that combines votes from three categories: viewers, experts and media, but it is essentially an award based on ratings.

Based on the "Pork Sharing Award".

The highest award in the entire TV category is the Media Arts Festival of the Ministry of Culture, but this award is a very artistic award and does not award awards for TV series or TV programs at all. To win the award, it is only for some public service advertisements or image ads. And under this award

It is the Broadcasting Fund Award under the responsibility of the Broadcasting Foundation. This award has five categories: individual award, TV drama award, TV entertainment program award, TV documentary award and radio station award. There is also an acting award in the individual award, but it basically focuses on period dramas. Lin

Junsu was filming a fashion drama, and it was also a workplace drama with no social criticism, so it was impossible.

The next award is the Galaxy Award. The Galaxy Award is divided into four categories: TV department, broadcasting department, advertising department and news reporting department. The TV department does not distinguish between TV dramas, TV documentaries and TV programs, etc., based on the slogans of the judges.

, TV dramas are not favorites to win awards at all. Even if TV dramas are nominated in any year, they are basically used by NHK or simply to reward local stations, and they have nothing to do with the five major commercial channels.

On the other hand, there is some hope for the Hashida Award, because this award does not mind flattering popular dramas, and many idols have won the performance award of this award. However, idols are generally newcomers, so this award is still not very likely.

However, the Hashimoto Awards Newcomer Award will not only be awarded to idol-turned-actors like Masahiro Nakai and Shingo Katori, but also to potential new actors such as Yuko Takeuchi, Aya Ueto, and Haruka Ayase, so the level is still there.

Lin Junxiu pondered for a while, and finally replied: "The Galaxy Award is basically unlikely, but I will try my best to help Yonekura-san win the Hashimoto Award. But the premise is that Yonekura-san's acting skills must be able to support our drama.

Get up. If I were not the champion of the season and the top three of the year, I think I would be embarrassed to make this request to Nippon TV."

"I understand." Ryoko Yonekura nodded, "Don't worry, I will make my acting skills worthy of any award."

"Then if it's agreed, how about we finalize the contract. I can also talk to Yonekura-san as soon as possible about the drama we are about to start filming." Lin Junxiu said with a smile.

As for Ryoko Yonekura's promise, Junxiu Lin is still certain. As long as "Doctor

Generally speaking, the Hashimoto Award is a level higher than the Japanese Drama Academy Award. This is also an honor from the TV station.

Since Yonekura Ryoko had no objections, the two parties quickly signed a contract and began to submit their respective legal procedures. During this process, Lin Junxiu will obtain the script outline for the "Evil Girl Trilogy" created by Yonekura Ryoko.

It came out. Since it was just an outline, Yonekura Ryoko quickly watched the three Japanese dramas. After watching them, Yonekura Ryoko frowned tightly.

These three TV series are indeed good enough, but the problem is that they have to play "bad women". TV drama actors can easily be stereotyped due to the long-term broadcast of TV series, and they will still be stereotyped as "bad women", which is not very good.

As for the transformation. The "bad woman" has a very low national favorability rating. Even if she conquers the judges and film critics because of her acting skills, it would be very tragic if she loses the audience.

Without the love of the audience, what will happen to the next drama? And if there is no favorability among the people, advertisers will not seek cooperation with them. For actors, advertising is the best way to realize their fame. The more top-notch actors are, the easier it is for them to be accepted.
