"Lin Sang, I wonder if you are interested in investing in a Japanese TV station?" Ryotaro Ikeda said carefully.

As soon as Ikeda said something, Lin Junxiu and Koishi Takaki showed disbelief.

Japan's TV industry may be the most special among developed countries. Except for NHK, which has public broadcast nature, almost all Japanese TV stations are controlled by Japanese news and publishing groups and regarded as banned. Not to mention the five national TV stations at this level, even TV stations in cities around Tokyo cannot have shares for later generations to own.

According to the provisions of the Japanese Broadcasting Law, all TV stations in Japan must be wholly-owned subsidiaries of a certain broadcasting holding company or subsidiaries applicable to the equity law. At the same time, there is a limit on the shareholders of this holding company, and the number of TV stations and radio stations owned by each holding company in every prefecture is also a limit on the number of TV stations and radio stations. It is precisely because of the many strange regulations in the Japanese wireless TV industry that many companies that want to engage in the TV industry later gave up terrestrial TV and turned to cable stations or satellite stations.

However, because of the Japanese rating habits, even in 2020, Japan is only one of them in the cable and satellite TV industry. But the shareholders who saw it, hey, Fuji TV, TBS TV and Japan TV are the top three major shareholders, and then Asahi TV and Tokyo TV are the ninth and tenth major shareholders.

As of the end of 2019, there are only 10 radio holding companies in Japan. In addition to the five major broadcasters, there are Daily Radio and Asahi Radio (non-Asaka TV Station), Zhongji Radio in Nagoya, RKB Radio in Fukuoka City and RSK Radio in Okayama City.

According to Lin Junxiu's speculation, among these ten broadcast holding companies, only Okayama City's RSK Radio is a bit hopeful. However, if your broadcast range includes the three major metropolitan areas in Japan, then the development prospects of this broadcast company are very limited, so whether it is Okayama City's RSK or Fukuoka City's RKB, in Lin Junxiu's eyes, they are just a role of accompanying the prince to study.

Fortunately, Lin Junxiu woke up quickly. Although the shares of Japan Television Holdings Company are attractive, it depends on whether she has the capital.

The capital of Japan Television Holdings Company is as high as 18.6 billion yen. If you want to join the board of directors, the shareholding ratio must not be less than 2%, that is, you have to take out at least 372 million yen. Of course, the real stock price must not be calculated like this. After all, the total assets of Japan Television Holdings Company are close to 1 trillion yen, so the existing shareholders will definitely not transfer the stock price to you based on the amount of capital contribution that year.

What's more, Japan's TV station's career is booming now, and can you guarantee that the total assets of 1 trillion yen will not continue to increase next year? So for Lin Junxiu, although the fruit is delicious, he has no money to buy it himself. Unless he sells his assets by himself, compared with Japanese TV stations, Lin Junxiu's assets are better. For short-term interests, Lin Junxiu feels that he cannot agree.

"Ikeda Sang, you just joking." Lin Junxiu declined with a smile.

In addition to being unable to afford such a huge behemoth, Japan TV Holdings is also the parent company of Nikka, one of the five major Japanese film companies. Since I have already boarded Toho's ship, I shouldn't be distracted. Besides, if I really want to betray, wouldn't I choose Toei or Matsutake and choose Nikka, which is only one breath left? Besides, Nikka is only the kind of fabric-saving movie left, and I have not really fallen to that point.

"Show Production is just an ordinary film and television production company. How can we deserve Japanese TV? We just provide services to various TV stations, so we didn't think about which TV station to invest in."

Lin Junxiu also figured it out at this time. Not only will the TVB itself not be involved, but also the cable and satellite stations are the same. She should plan for future video websites and live broadcast platforms, and make an online TV station similar to Yahoo TV.

"Since Lin Sangzhi is not here, I can only say regrets." Ryotaro Ikeda didn't know whether it was true or false, but in short, there was a little regret in his eyes.

"I heard that the TV series "Doctor X" produced by Lin Sang for us not only has two spin-offs, but Lin Sang also plans to build a "working women's universe" based on this TV series and produce a series of big heroine TV series? What I want to tell Lin Sang is that our Japanese TV station is very interested in this series and is willing to participate in the investment in each drama.

What I can guarantee is that Lin Sang's series of TV series can basically be released on Japan TV and Japan TV network. If it cannot be released on terrestrial TV stations, we will also arrange to be released on satellite stations. I believe Lin Sang knows that our Japan TV Holdings also has two satellite stations, BS Japan and CS Japan? Although the ratings are relatively ordinary, they are still the best in satellite Taichung."

When Ikeda mentioned BS Japan and CS Japan, Lin Junxiu felt a little laughing. Why did NHK and the five major civilians make satellite stations? That was limited by the provisions of Japan's Broadcasting Law.

Although Japan's land area is not large, there are still many mountainous areas and offshore islands outside the country. In mountainous areas and offshore islands, the coverage of terrestrial TV is very difficult. According to the requirements of the Japanese "Broadcasting Law", since you have used radio waves to spread TV programs for free and free of charge and have obtained benefits, please give out some of the money to make satellite stations to ensure that these TV signals can cover every inch of Japan's land.

The operating cost of satellite stations is very high. Except for NHK who doesn't care about money and has nothing to do to test various broadcast technologies on satellite stations, the rest of the private broadcasting stations are used as replay channels or broadcast some programs with pre-screening. Therefore, even if the ratings on satellite stations are good at this time, the ratings on all channels in Japan are garbage.

However, I studied HBO later and had a good number of subscriptions. Other satellite stations are basically professional channels and do not do entertainment programs at all. Japanese TV stations finally gave up their satellite stations. TV series that are not broadcast on the ground channel are stuffed on their respective websites, either assembled on the streaming dramas or online dramas.

"Ikeda Sang, I am very confident in the quality of the TV series we produced, so it would be a pity if it cannot be broadcast on the ground channel." Lin Junxiu said in a careful tone.

"Ikeda Sang, I can't promise you. And if I hand over all the TV series to your station to broadcast, how should I face other TV stations after the show is produced? However, our collaboration on the series "Doctor X" is very pleasant. If possible, I also hope that the two spin-offs, "Doctor Y" and "Doctor Z" can also be broadcast on Japanese TV stations. As for other aspects, I can't promise anything."

"That's really a pity." Ryotaro Ikeda sighed, "But if our TV station succeeds in bidding, will Lin Sang refuse to cooperate with us? After all, I still have a lot of trust in Lin Sang's planning and production capabilities."

"We show production opens the door to do business. If Japan Television Holdings can win in the bidding, I have no reason to reject cooperation with Guitai." Lin Junxiu saw that Ikeda's sincerity was still enough, so he added, "If possible, we can also cooperate in variety shows."

Lin Junxiu decided to hand over the Produce 101 program to Japanese TV stations after the 2010s. Japanese TV stations are both rating champions in prime time and prime time, and it is also a strong cooperation.

"Oh? If there are excellent plans for variety shows, our Japanese TV station will certainly welcome it!" Ikeda said happily.

After Lin Junshui sent off Ryotaro Ikeda, he told Takaki Koishi: "It seems that our 'Women' plan for the workplace' is going to be ahead of schedule. Japanese TV stations intervene, probably other TV stations will know about it. If they all think we must cooperate with Japanese TV, then these dramas will not be easy to sell."

Lin Junxiu was a little worried that Taiwan would learn the tricks of Weinstein in Hollywood. He usually signed a memorandum when he came to China to buy movies, and then he went internationally to claim that he had bought a certain movie. As a result, no one bids for this movie and could only be sold to Weinstein in the end. Of course, the price would definitely be much lower. Feng Gangpao suffered the loss of this guy, which caused Feng Gangpao to scold Weinstein in front of reporters several times. Later, Weinstein was disgraced and imprisoned because of the sexual assault. It is estimated that Feng Gangpao would have to celebrating the royal salute at home? But if this matter hits him, Lin Junxiu would be crying without tears.

"Then which TV series are we going to shoot?" Xiaoshi Takashu of course knew Lin Junxiu's huge TV series project.

"Since there is already a female doctor series, then start the female lawyer series." Lin Junxiu said.

If a female drama in the workplace is a drama with a female lead, then there are only doctors, lawyers, policemen, judges, accountants and teachers, and from the perspective of TV dramas, the judges and accountants are not very good at creating dramatic conflicts, so it is not suitable to adapt TV dramas; while a workplace drama in the profession of teachers is easy to be difficult to continue filming after a class of students, so it is difficult to make a longevity drama. Therefore, Lin Junxiu's "Women's Universe of Workplace" chooses three professions of female doctors, female lawyers and female policemen, and then each profession has both serious dramas and derivative dramas; each profession series will also intersect each other's plots to realize a "TV drama universe".

The prototype of the female lawyer drama chosen by Lin Junxiu is the American drama "The Good Wife", and the drama also has the spin-off drama "The Good Fight".

"The Good Wife" has been adapted from the Japanese drama version, but the average viewership rate of this drama is only 9.7%, and the highest single-episode rating is only 11.5%. Therefore, the Japanese drama version of this drama is not very successful, but its reputation is quite good. Takako Tobashi won the Best Actress Award at the CE Japanese Drama Awards for this drama. The CE Japanese Drama Awards are different from the CE Japanese Drama Academy Awards. The CE Japanese Drama Awards only count the drama reviewers and media points; unlike the Japanese Drama Academy Awards, they also count the audience points.

Therefore, Lin Junshui must make magic modifications. First of all, the plot of the parallel time and space version is too warm, especially the part that does not involve the heroine's emotions is a bit of a failure; secondly, the American drama version is definitely not suitable for Japan, after all, the open sexual relationship plot in the American drama will cause complaints when it comes to Japan; finally, the actor part, Tokura Takako is very outstanding, but the two characters Kalinda (the Japanese drama version is named Michiru Tanka) and Diane (the Japanese drama version is named Kamiyama Kamie) are dull. Originally, many plots of the American drama "The Good Wife" rely on these three female characters to promote, but in the Japanese drama version, only Renami Apricot (the American drama version is named Alicia) played by Tokura Takako is the only one who takes the lead.

Moreover, although "The Good Wife" is a female lead drama, the male characters are also very outstanding. In particular, the change in the relationship between Alicia and Cary and the emotional entanglement between Alicia and Will are all the driving forces of the plot. As a result, in the Japanese version, Cary's corresponding Mitsutaro, who is like a child who never grows up, looks like a mother and son, and is more like a colleague with Renami Akiko. Therefore, it is impossible to convince the audience at all that the two are competitors, and then they will develop into relationships between partners and even allies in the future. As for Will's corresponding Seiya Tada, they are not as handsome and graceful as the American version. Although this character is played by Takataro Koizumi, there is no way to convince the audience at all. This is a character full of charm and attractiveness to women.

In Lin Junsoo's mind, the Japanese version of Alicia can be handed over to Takako Tobata to play, but the character setting and plot need to be adjusted. As for Diane, Lin Junsoo thought about it, perhaps only Yuki Amani is more suitable. Although Yuki Amani may not agree to play a supporting role, if this character is changed into a two-female drama and promised to start filming "The Good Fight" in the future to let Yuki Amani take the lead, it should be convincing her.

As for Kalinda, she just needs to find an exotic actress. The original Japanese version was Mizuhara Kiko. Although her appearance matched the Japanese's impression of mixed-race children, her acting skills were really... At the same time, Mizuhara Kiko did not have the neat feeling of Kalinda. Therefore, in Lin Junsoo's impression, perhaps Akisa Kuroki would be more suitable.

Interestingly, Kuroki Akisa will marry Akanishi Ren in the future, which is still a fate. Kuroki Akisa is a mixed American and Japanese race, and she can shoot action scenes, so she can have the capable temperament of Kalinda with a little training. What's important is that Kuroki Akisa is still beautiful enough, with the feeling of killing both men and women.

After taking the prototype, Lin Junxiu called all the members of her screenwriter studio in and discussed the script of the new drama "The Good Wife".

Unlike most Japanese drama production processes, there are usually two foreshadowings in TV series produced by show. If you are sure that the TV series has a next season, you will write it according to the preparation for the next season; if you are sure that there is no next season, you will ensure the finale in this season. Since Japan does not have too many habits of making longevity dramas, many screenwriters will only force the drama to the next season until the last moment.

For example, in the original "Doctor X", starring Ryoko Yonekura, in order to create a happy ending, the two key supporting roles have their lives lingered in different seasons. As a result, because the next season is suddenly going to be produced, the damn character cannot die again, which makes the audience feel inexplicably when watching the show.
