Chapter 666 TV Station’s Time Selling

On the day of Mai Shiraishi's birthday, Zhang Pingan received a call from Konno, who helped him contact the screenwriters he was looking for and recommended them. Zhang Pingan went to meet the screenwriter and had a chat. He felt that the screenwriter was not bad, and after signing the contract, the other party began to prepare to adapt the comics. Zhang Pingan did not need to provide any materials for this, he only needed to buy the comics currently on the market and go back to study them.

In the coffee shop, Konno, sitting opposite Zhang Pingan, smiled and said: "I have also contacted the screenwriter for you, Pingan-san, have you booked the role this time? Uh, I don't want the important position of the protagonist. I also know that no one in Nogizaka has the acting skills to reach the level of the leading actress in a regular drama, so... do you think you can arrange some small roles?"

Zhang Pingan nodded and agreed without hesitation: "No problem. If there are roles that meet their requirements, I will definitely arrange them in. As for the protagonist... I have already contacted them. And I thought of that person the first time I saw this comic!"

"Who? The short-haired beauty... is it Masami Nagasawa?"

Konno's choice is also very good. Masami Nagasawa has appeared on the screen with short hair recently, so the short-haired heroine in the comic also meets Masami Nagasawa's standards.

And many people think that Masami Nagasawa's smile is very similar to Yui Aragaki. But Zhang Pingan doesn't think they are very similar, because they each have their own characteristics. But it is undeniable that both of them are very contagious when they smile.

Zhang Pingan smiled and shook his head slightly, saying: "The protagonist is not Nagasawa Masami, but... Gakki!"

Listening to Zhang Pingan's choice, Konno nodded and said: "Both are suitable. Both Nagasawa Masami and Aragaki Yui are suitable for the role in the comics. I personally prefer Nagasawa Masami."

Zhang Pingan smiled bitterly and shook his head: "Hahaha~~ So, Masami Sakai made a soul roar in the TV series "LEGAL.HIGH" filmed with Aragaki Yui, "It would be great if it was Nagasawa Masami."

Konno laughed: "That was the screenwriter's deliberate prank, right? But it also reflects Aragaki Yui's generosity. If I have to say, such lines are a bit... but she happily accepted such a line The words are funny. "

Zhang Pingan nodded and said: "It is because she starred in the TV series that it is funny to say this line in front of her. If Yui did not participate in the performance, such a line would probably be criticized, right?"

"That's for sure. If Gakki did not appear, it would be equivalent to public ridicule, and the meaning of saying it would be different."

"By the way, what about Keyaki Ban..."

Zhang Pingan hadn't even finished his words,

Konno shook his head and said: "I don't know anything about Keyaki Ban, because I am not in charge of that team. As you said when you chatted with me last time, our Nogizaka model is good and can be copied. And the company also feels that Nogizaka alone can't fill the market, so there is Keyaki Ban, which is right Okay, Keyaki is filming today, do you want to go and see them? "

Zhang Pingan shook his head and said, "Why should I go and see them? Anyway, they are all copying the Nogizaka model. The establishment of a new group requires a transition period, and their future will gradually get better. But they will definitely not be able to surpass the Nogizaka group. With the graduation of the popular members of 'AKB', in the future idol market, I personally think that Nogizaka will definitely reach the level of the AKB members at their peak, and 'Keyaki 46' will also benefit from it. "

Konno smiled and nodded and said, "Idol, this career is actually not long, basically every seven years, and the rest depends on whether there are members who can take on the burden. Now AKB also has a new generation of Sashihara, in her After graduation... I don't know. "

Zhang Pingan thought for a while and said: "She just stood at the first place in the general election. It will be three or four years before she graduates. This general election will help her career to a higher level, right?"

Konno also laughed: "The reason why Sashihara can still be so popular after the news broke out is actually very simple. If someone is willing to give her a push, everything will go smoothly. As for those people on the Internet who say that she has high emotional intelligence and a strong sense of variety, everything is not as good as someone pushing her behind her!"

In fact, Konno still wants to say that the reason why Shiraishi Mai's career is so smooth now is because you were willing to stand behind her at the beginning, and you were willing to spend a lot of money.

Of course, Sashihara Rino's personal ability is still good, and secondly, there are people behind her who are willing to give her a push. And people like Sashihara who have some ability know how to seize the opportunity to turn things around!

Zhang Pingan smiled and nodded: "By the way, the photo album I made for Mai Shiraishi last year sold very well. Why don't you plan to publish another one for Mai this year?"

Last year, after the release of Mai Shiraishi's photo album, her popularity soared instantly. Later, their group also launched several girls to make photo albums, but the sales... were not particularly ideal.

Konno said: "The proposal has been submitted and it will be produced in September. This time we also plan to produce it overseas as you originally designed. Um, it's just that Mai's photo album cannot cooperate with you this time."

Zhang Pingan responded with a smile: "I understand. Besides, I don't need the money from the photo album. After I collected the production fee, didn't I give you all the rest?"

After all, after Shiraishi Mai became famous, their company definitely wanted to make more money. Cooperation means sharing money, so they must be reluctant.

"..."

It was because Zhang Pingan didn't ask for the subsequent share at the beginning, so Konno always felt that he owed Zhang Pingan a favor, which is why every time Zhang Pingan asked Konno for help, he didn't refuse. However, after several collaborations, the relationship between the two got along very well. It was mainly because Zhang Pingan was an investor and producer who was easy to talk to.

Although his entertainment career focused on South Korea, Zhang Pingan's achievements were beyond reproach. Besides, a rich man like Zhang Pingan might come to Japan to carry out entertainment activities one day, so the interaction between them also laid the foundation for the future.

Looking at the silent Konno, Zhang Pingan smiled and said, "Didn't I set up an entertainment company in Tokyo last time?"

Zhang Pingan did register an entertainment company in Japan, which was registered when he produced the photo album of Mai Shiraishi, because in Japan, the tax paid by individuals with large income is very high, and there are many tax exemptions when facing large income in the name of the company.

Konno looked at Zhang Pingan and said, "What's wrong?"

Zhang Pingan said, "Why don't you just come to my company and develop together? I'll let you be the representative of the Japanese branch. Isn't the TV station going to auction the "TV series" time at the end of the year? I..."

Zhang Pingan threw an olive branch to Konno, but Konno didn't accept it at all. He stopped and said, "I am very satisfied with my current job, so thank you for your kindness. If I want to change places in the future, please give me a chance, Mr. Pingan!"

He must be very satisfied with the current situation, because as long as the future development of "Nogizaka" is better, he will get more rights and resources in the company, and the degree of capital allocation. He, the general manager of the Nogizaka group, is even more comfortable than the representative! After all, the representative still has to worry about those things that don't make money, while he only needs to focus all his attention on the Nogizaka group.

Being rejected was also expected. After all, his company was just an empty shell after registration. Well, it's not an empty shell, because he now has a TV series that is about to be adapted.

Zhang Pingan continued to inquire: "Do TV stations in Japan start auctioning broadcast time at the end of the year?"

Zhang Pingan is not as clear about the process of Japanese TV stations as he is in Korea. So Konno gave Zhang Pingan a popular science: "Well, because of the "time" that has not been sold next year, the TV station must make plans early. So all TV stations in Japan start auctioning at the end of the year. At that time, I can help you find out the news. By the way, do you have any TV stations you are optimistic about? We are more familiar with Tokyo TV."

Because their "Nogizaka" variety show is sponsored and broadcasted by Tokyo TV, of course, the time period they purchased is the "midnight" time, which is also the cheapest time period. Generally, many TV stations broadcast some late-night programs during this time period.

Well, this late-night program is not a paid channel in the hotel room. It just relaxes the scale a little bit, such as the words used in language and the topics discussed.

Zhang Pingan thought for a while and said: "I personally prefer TBS or Asahi."

There are four large private TV stations in Japan, "Asahi", "TBS", "Fuji" and "Nihon". The only public channel is.

The two TV stations mentioned by Zhang Pingan surprised Konno a little: "The auctions of these two TV stations are relatively expensive."

But he soon realized that Zhang Pingan was not short of money at all. In Korea, he produced at least one season of a program for nearly 1 billion yen (10 billion won). So if he chose a large TV station, even if they sold time at a higher price, the advertising time could also be sold at a higher price. If the ratings of the TV show were higher, the price of advertising time would have to double.

Zhang Pingan said with a smile: "It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter if it's a little more expensive. As long as the ratings are high, all the initial investment is worth it, and I believe in Yui Aragaki's appeal to viewers."

"Since you said so, what else can I say. Okay, then I'll let you know when the TV station here announces the auction time?"
