MTL - A Day In a Japanese Fishing Village-Chapter 694 Fire!

   Sony Pictures Division.

   Minamino Shuichi frowned after listening to Inamori's report. He never imagined that the variety show "Running Star" would not have a TV station willing to buy it!

   "Are they accepting our innovative variety show or are they dissatisfied with our work?" Minano Shuichi asked.

"There are, because we invented variety shows, they have never seen them before, and they are skeptical of the market's demand. The second is that they don't recognize our variety shows very much after watching our variety shows. They think so Variety shows don't have any ratings at all, and they would rather not buy such works. They are afraid of affecting the reputation of their TV station." Inamori replied.

   He was running around these days, but no TV station gave him a good look anyway.

   "That's really troublesome. If our variety show doesn't get on TV, it's useless at all." Minano Shuichi frowned.

   "Chairman, I think we can only continue to look for TV stations to see if any TV stations are willing to buy our programs." Inamori said.

"Well, I'll leave this to you. At that time, we don't have to quote too high, after all, we can sell it at a lower price if we can't sell it. The main thing now is to let our programs go to the TV station first. After word of mouth, you can negotiate the price with the TV station. Remember, if we sell our program at a low price, Xianhe TV will sign the first two or three episodes. After these episodes are released, look at the word-of-mouth. If word-of-mouth explodes, we will be the fourth We will be able to sell at a good price in the period and the future period. There will also be countless advertisers looking for us..." Minano Shuichi instructed Inamori.

   "Got Mr. Chairman!" Inamori nodded.

   Next, Inamori continued to go to other TV stations to promote the variety show "Running Star".

  In the end, the hard work paid off, and there was a TV station willing to buy the program "Running Star". That TV station is Fukuoka TV. This TV station is incomparable in terms of strength in the island country, so it is still possible.

   But the price of the other party's bid to buy "Let's Run Star" is pitifully low. It is estimated that the salary is not even half of the shooting cost! That is to say, if it continues at this price, the Sony company of Shuichi Minano will definitely lose money in the first season.

   But in the end Minano Shuichi agreed to Inamori to sell this to Fukuoka TV. Anyway, at present, we are selling the broadcasting rights of the first two episodes to the other party, and then we will play two episodes to see the effect. If he can, he will start the price on the ground for the third issue.

   Here, the first two episodes are put on the air, the third episode is also recorded, and the fourth episode is also ready to start.

  Everything is going according to plan, just to see what kind of effect "Running Star" will bring on TV.

   Actually, Minano Shuichi is not very sure about whether "Running Star" can achieve good results. After all, this was 1961, and he didn't dare to make a ticket. If the broadcast is cold, then this will be a bit of a pain in the ass.

  Fukuoka TV station plans to broadcast "Running Star" every Saturday night at 10 o'clock. One episode a week! Originally, Fukuoka TV was reluctant to buy the variety show "Running Star". But they saw that there were seven A-list stars in it, and at the same time the other party was selling at a price they wanted to suppress. In the end they chose to buy.

   But they still don't like this kind of show very much, so they put it on at ten o'clock. Because 7:00 to 10:00 in the evening is definitely the prime broadcast time. Of course, such a good time is not the turn of "Running Star". So it would be nice to leave it to play until 12 o'clock at 10 o'clock. If other programs, even save it to midnight to play it.

   Although the premiere is at 10 o'clock, it is neither too early nor too late to say this, and there are still some viewers who will watch it at this point.

   Ji Xiang is a white-collar worker, she usually goes to bed after ten o'clock. But tonight she plans to stay up a little bit later. Because she wants to watch "Running Star".

   To be honest, this is the first time she has heard of the new term variety show in her world, and she doesn't know what the **** this show is. But it's enough to have her favorite name in it!

   She had seen the commercials before the show's premiere and said that there are seven big celebrities in it, and one of them is a popular idol who is her favorite idol. So she plans to take a look tonight, if it looks good, she will keep chasing it!

   At ten o'clock in the evening, Fukuoka TV officially broadcast "Running Stars". At the beginning, the members of the seven first-line stars gathered, and then began to introduce three star guests. Then the various mini-game competitions began...

   In it, all kinds of jokes, all kinds of spit and all kinds of fights appeared in this way...

   "Wow~ my idol is so handsome...he is so funny!"

  To be honest, Ji Xiang was attracted to "Running Star" not long after, and was deeply intoxicated by it. She originally came to watch this show with her idol. But looking at it, I was deeply conquered by this variety show!

   Because it's so beautiful, so funny, so innovative!

   Takeda, like Ji Xiang, watched this show with a star-chasing mentality, because there was a goddess in his heart.

   At this time, he was watching the show attentively, and he was always looking for the figure of his goddess.

   He thinks this "Running Star" is very interesting. Ordinary stars are either acting in movies or giving concerts, and rarely have their usual life bits and pieces. But this "Running Star" is different. It seems to show another state in the life of each star, seeing their characteristics that they usually don't see.

   He thinks this kind of outdoor reality show is really good!

   It's like which goddess he likes, she usually belongs to a relatively cold goddess, and she is aloof. But now in "Let's Run Stars", it is very lively, and at the same time, there are some eccentrics, who have become the wisdom of the team.

   "So kawaii, so smart! As expected, she is my goddess!" Takeda found himself in love with this show.

  Anyway, with the premiere of "Running Stars", most of the first batch of viewers went to the show with their favorite stars.

   Some viewers are night owls. They plan to continue watching TV before they sleep, so they saw "Running Stars".

   However, since this program is a new type of program, it still belongs to the proud work of the 21st century. Its quality is not known to be many times better than the programs of this era.

   These people were deeply attracted by the content of this program after watching it for a while.

  Why watch TV? Just to pass the time and relax, it is a kind of pastime anyway.

   And "Running Star" has all met this requirement.

  Relax, funny, entertaining, and a fighting spirit, and a little chicken soup for the soul from time to time. Definitely a good variety show.

The first episode of    ended in just over an hour.

   There are really a lot of people watching, although the data is not very obvious, but the ratings are not bad!

  The next day, the statistics of the ratings came out.

   actually reached 3.1% of the country!

   Ranked 3rd among many TV dramas and various programs on Fukuoka TV, and 23rd among various TV programs nationwide!

  Fukuoka TV headquarters.

   Several high-level leaders are having a meeting.

   They didn't pay much attention to the launch of "Running Star" last night, but after the ratings came out this morning, they had to pay attention. Because this show doesn't have any strong advertising, it's still a show they don't like. But last night's premiere ratings even ranked third on their Fukuoka TV station!

   And this replay is also watched by many people, and even more and more people are watching the replay!

   This situation made these high-level executives a little surprised.

"I didn't expect that we were not very optimistic about "Running Star", but its ratings were so good! I really missed it at the beginning. But when we bought the broadcast rights of this show, the price was really low, and we earned it !" A senior said with a smile.

   "Yes, since the ratings of this show are not bad, then we will put some commercials on this show and try to maximize the revenue..."

  …

   Ji Xiang watched the replay again the next night, and after watching it, she still seemed hesitant.

   "Oh, this variety show only airs once a week, it's so slow, I can't wait!" Ji Xiang felt depressed in her heart.

  It's not just her, other viewers who have seen it are like this.

   In the past few days, all kinds of hot remarks about "Running Star" are all over the place.

  For example, Tokyo Entertainment News: "Running Star" was broadcast on Fukuoka TV a few days ago, and the ratings actually ranked third, and it reached nearly 20 nationwide! The ratings are still on the rise...

   It is said that "Running Star" is a brand new program, it is called a variety show, a variety show is…

  Variety shows were invented by Sony’s film and television department…

  Fukuoka Entertainment News: Recently, the "Running Star" has become popular, and the seven members in it all have their own characteristics. For example, Yu Ying Kanako belongs to the family of eccentric geniuses, and Kaoru Ayanokoji belongs to the simple-minded family...

  In addition to the above, there are many newspapers reporting on the jokes, complaints and various jokes in "Running Star". Of course, there are those who praise the show and those who slander it.

  Some so-called people started to slander the games in "Running Star" for being too naive and not suitable for adults to play, or that the show was too fake and so on. Or that this show is based on the script, and it doesn't look good.
