Chapter 420 Industry News
Author: Sima Guitai
Soon, another week passed, and the ratings of "The White Tower" were still strong, maintaining a high level of more than 30%. The ratings of "Blue Life and Death" increased a little, reaching 18%. Among the programs in the same period,
Ranked third.
The ratings ranking for the entire autumn season is even lower, falling out of the top ten.
When the first episode of "The White Tower" was broadcast, it was already at the top of the ratings list. By the second episode, it was further away from the second place. It can be expected that this drama will be the season champion or even the top spot again.
Annual crown.
Judging from the current situation, the three works produced by Shuibo Productions after changing owners have become two, and one is mediocre. And the score of 17% for "Blue Life and Death" is not too bad.
Just mediocre.
Two of the three dramas started off well. Such results are already very good for the company Shuibo Productions, but for Fanxing TV, it feels more or less aggrieved.
Ishii Yumitsu, director of the production bureau and deputy director of Fanxing Channel, looked at the ratings report of the two episodes of "Blue Life and Death Love" and sighed.
Fanxingtai's performance in the past two years has been close to the bottom, so he did not hesitate to cooperate with Fujiwara Kei's Mizubo Production, but unexpectedly it did not seem to have any great results.
The score of more than ten percent at the beginning, if this was just the score of an ordinary TV person, it would be pretty good. Ishii Yumitsu might even encourage him in public to keep up the good work. But the producer of this movie is that
Man...a man who has already achieved a high-level status in the broadcasting industry at a young age has made achievements that others cannot achieve in his lifetime within three years of his debut, so such achievements seem a bit pale.
"If this is the only result, the production bureau headquarters can also do it... There is no need to spend a lot of money and work with that person." Ishii Yu said heartily.
"Director Ishii, Mr. Fujiwara is here." At this time, the secretary knocked on the door and said to Ishii Yumitsu.
"Oh, okay." Ishii Yumitsu said, stood up, readjusted his mentality, and walked out of the office. After seeing Fujiwara Kei in the reception room, he still greeted Kei with a smile.
Although the ratings of the drama "Blue Life and Death" are not particularly satisfactory, Ishii does not dare to blame Fujiwara Kei for it. The Invincible Oriental is a legend. Occasionally, there will be a few unsatisfactory results.
It's normal, but it's still a bit depressing when it happens to me.
What's more, the results of the other two dramas broadcast in the same quarter as "Blue Life and Death" are very good. If they really break up, it's not clear whose fault it is... Anyway, now the director of the TV station has heard the ratings of the TV series.
The rate was not particularly ideal. He did not question Kei Fujiwara at the first time. Instead, he suspected that the production bureau was not fully cooperating with Mizunami Productions. This made Yu Ishii full of grievances. In front of Kei Fujiwara, he was just like a little daughter-in-law. He would not say anything to others.
Second, is this called lack of cooperation?
"Teacher Fujiwara, thank you for your hard work. I would like to trouble you to come here in person." Ishii Yumitsu stepped forward and shook hands with Fujiwara Kei.
"It doesn't matter, we should cooperate with the TV station's promotional activities." Kei Fujiwara said.
"Please come with me."
In fact, this kind of event can be handled by his subordinates, but Ishii Yoshimitsu deliberately received it in person, precisely because he was worried about Kei Fujiwara's overthinking, and felt that Fanxingtai was indifferent because the results did not meet expectations. Fanxingtai is still very optimistic about Kei Fujiwara's ability.
Yes, the production bureau has also quietly held a meeting to discuss it. Even if the TV series' revenue is average, it doesn't matter. We will still maintain a cooperative relationship with Shuibo Production.
The few of them were chatting and walking. Because Kei Fujiwara yawned several times and seemed a little out of sorts, Ishii Yumitsu suggested buying two cups of coffee at the coffee shop in the company's internal campus. Kei Fujiwara agreed.
After the two bought the coffee, they sat down and drank it directly in the store.
There was a very tall money tree behind Kei Fujiwara. A voice suddenly came from behind the money tree:
"Our program's ratings have been very poor recently. If it doesn't improve, it may be cut in half..."
"This quarter, the station's programs are generally in a slump. Don't talk about us. Even the much-anticipated Fujiwara drama has mediocre ratings. It's just a little higher than ours...ahem."
"Haha, is it even a bit high if it's twice as high? But what you said makes sense. At first, the station predicted that this drama would get a ratings of more than 25, but now it's really far from it. It seems that Mr. Fujiwara
Not always so brave, hahaha..."
The money tree blocked the people on both sides so that they could not see each other, but they could hear the voices on the other side clearly.
Ishii Yumitsu was extremely embarrassed. Fujiwara Keinori just smiled and glanced at Ishii Yumitsu. Ishii Yumitsu reacted. Did he think this was a deliberate arrangement by me?
No matter how you say it, this is extremely embarrassing. Just when Ishii Yumitsu was thinking about running to the money tree to teach these two guys a lesson, Fujiwara Kei took a sip of coffee and said as if he didn't hear it.
: "Director Ishii, I remember you mentioned to me before that Koganei Animation Studio seems to be having internal conflicts recently, and several founders seem to be planning to leave. Can you tell me about this?"
The other side of the money tree suddenly became quiet when they heard Kei Fujiwara's voice and the words "Director Ishii" in his mouth. One of the people even stood up and peeked up to look here secretly. Yumitsu Ishii glared fiercely.
One look at him scared him so much that he squatted down quickly.
"Ahem." Ishii Yumitsu coughed twice, thinking that Fujiwara Kei was deliberately changing the subject and talking about something trivial just to divert the embarrassment, so he also borrowed the opportunity to say: "That's it, because this studio
One of the investors is Toei, so we also got the news here."
Tokyo Pictures, one of the five major film companies, is an affiliate of Fanxing Television. The relationship between the two is like that of Fukuyama Television and Shochiku Pictures.
"What a pity. I remember this studio was still a start-up, right? It is composed of many outstanding animators, and the first work was very popular." Kei Fujiwara asked, "But for what reason?"
"The production concepts are different." Ishii Yumitsu answered honestly.
"Production concept?" Fujiwara Kei didn't understand. "It's inevitable that different creators will have deviations in their creative concepts. Since there are deviations, it's good that different people create different works. It won't mean that we can't even run a business together."
Bar?"
"That's the creative style, and their differences are related to technology..." Yumitsu Ishii said, "After all, we have entered a new era. Many animation companies have begun to use computers on a large scale many years ago, but Koganei's
A few animators with conservative styles still stubbornly insist on hand-drawing..."
"What's the point?" Fujiwara Kei was a little nonchalant, "If you like to draw by hand, just draw by hand, and if you're willing to use a computer, use a computer. It doesn't hurt to have more than one style in one studio."
Ishii Yumitsu smiled: "That being said... Koganei's scale is limited after all. It is just a studio, not a company. It cannot carry so many animators with different ideas to create works of different styles at the same time. Toei
As an investor, I also hope that this studio can embrace the times. After all, computer technology is the biggest driving force leading the video industry forward..."
Kei Fujiwara nodded and said nothing more, but he was thinking secretly in his heart - How could he not get involved in the animation industry when he was working in the entertainment industry in Japan?
But Water Wave Production doesn’t have an animation department yet…
