Reborn Japan for entertainment

Chapter 655 Five-Year Agreement (Seeking Tickets!!)

NHK, also known as "Japan Broadcasting Association".

It is the first mass media organization established in accordance with the "Broadcasting Law" in Japan, and it is also the only public TV station in Japan, headquartered in Shibuya District, Tokyo.

The most well-known programs of this TV station are naturally the three major signs: Red and White Song Club, Dahe Drama, and Morning Drama!

As a red and white song show with an average audience rating of more than 40% every year, it has undoubtedly become the most watched show in Japan.

To become the host of the Red and White Song Club, it would be an extremely high honor for any artist, and a good opportunity to expand his national popularity!

After several months of hard work, THE SUN successfully stood out in this competition of red and white hosts!

This great news naturally made Kiyoshi Sakamoto, who was sitting on the sofa, very excited.

However, soon, as if he had thought of something, he calmed down and asked his manager:

"I guess, NHK also put forward their conditions?!"

That's right, when you get something, you have to give something. This is an unchanging truth, and it is also an eternal rule in the entertainment industry, a world where interests are paramount.

Although I was a little surprised that Sakamoto Kiyoshi calmed down so quickly and discovered the key point, but Uncle Ishida is one of Sakamoto Kiyoshi's closest people after all, and everyone has seen Sakamoto Kiyoshi's growth, so he just nodded secretly in his heart, He said, "You guessed right, they did put forward a condition."

"What is it?"

"They hope to sign a five-year private agreement with THE SUN."

"Five years? A private agreement?"

These two keywords made Sakamoto Kiyoshi instantly think of a very famous rumor in the Japanese entertainment circle in his previous life.

The reason why Johnny's Lan can continue to serve as the host of the Red and White Song Club is because Johnny signed a private agreement with NHK.

The content of the agreement is that NHK agrees to let Lan serve as the host of the Red and White Song Concert for five consecutive years!
As for the price Johnny paid for this, it is unknown.

But certainly not small.

But now, THE SUN, who defeated Lan and became the new host of the Red and White Song Club, is also facing the same situation as Lan in his previous life.

What price do you have to pay to become the red and white host?

"What does THE SUN need to do?"

"In the past five years, apart from participating in the Red and White Song Festival every year, there is another requirement..."

"That is, you must take part in at least one NHK drama, regardless of the protagonist or the supporting role!"

"Of course, the role is up to you to choose, as long as you participate in it."

This request made Sakamoto Kiyoshi fall into deep thought.

In NHK's TV series, apart from the midday dramas that were cut off due to the limited audience, the only TV dramas that can cast an actor of Kiyoshi Sakamoto's level are Taihe dramas and morning dramas.

However, the shooting time and shooting method of these two dramas made Kiyoshi Sakamoto a little unacceptable.

The number of Dahe episodes is too long, one filming takes a year, and one cannot leave the set without authorization;

The shooting time of the morning drama is not short, at least half a year.

Being able to participate in Dahe dramas and morning dramas is a good opportunity for any actor to greatly increase his popularity and popularity.

But the problem is that Kiyoshi Sakamoto is not an ordinary actor, but the director who coordinates the entire SMA.

If you want to waste a lot of time on a TV series, for Kiyoshi Sakamoto, who is determined to lead SME and burn side by side, the loss outweighs the gain!
In addition to the time conflict, Kiyoshi Sakamoto hesitated about his role in the play.

The Dahe drama is okay, with Sakamoto Kiyoshi's status, even if he is the main character, he will not lose his status.

However, morning dramas are different.

Morning dramas are generally long-form serials that tell stories from a female perspective. Unlike Dahe dramas, each episode of morning dramas is 15 minutes long, and one episode is broadcast at 100:[-] a.m. from Monday to Saturday, with a total of more than [-] episodes .

If Kiyoshi Sakamoto plays the role, at most he can play the leading role or an important supporting role, not the main character.

In this way, there will be a situation where Kiyoshi Sakamoto, who has become a big deal, will be a match for a newcomer girl.

For Kiyoshi Sakamoto, who has been the main character in movies since his debut, except for "Dragon Sakura", this is somewhat out of character.

However, after thinking for a moment, Kiyoshi Sakamoto nodded and said, "This... is acceptable."

He thought about it carefully, in fact, being a supporting role is not an unacceptable condition, it is just to hone his acting skills. . .

However, in his heart, he had already given Dahe Opera a pass.

As a well-produced drama series of NHK, Dahe drama is naturally worthy of Kiyoshi Sakamoto's current status.

However, its shooting time is too long!

It takes at least nine months from the start of filming to the finalization.

Nine months on the set would undoubtedly take up too much of his time.

This is unacceptable to him. . .

As for the morning drama, it's a good choice.

One film every six months, if it is a supporting role that does not have too many roles, and if the filming is faster, it should be able to be completed within two or three months.

Moreover, Sakamoto had already thought about it early in the morning, which morning drama he would choose to star in.

"Sorry, Matsuda-san, I want the role of GMT's manager!"

. . .

The conditions of NHK are more than that.

For example, the request for Makoto Ogawa to be the main MC of a certain new program, Masaki Chiba to appear in a certain program, and other detailed conditions were conveyed to the ears of the three of THE SUN through the mouth of Uncle Ishida.

However, to be able to pay a relatively small price in exchange for five years of red and white hosts, for the three of THE SUN, the advantages outweigh the disadvantages.

Therefore, after carefully reading the contents of the agreement, Sakamoto Kiyoshi, Ogawa Masaki, and Chiba Masaki picked up a pen and signed their names on the agreement contract.

"Clap clap clap!"

There was a burst of applause in the conference room.

"Welcome to join the NHK family!"

"Thank you very much, in the future, please give me more advice..."

After exchanging greetings with NHK executives and taking a few group photos together, THE SUN and the three walked out of the NHK headquarters building with the agreement in duplicate. . .

It wasn't until the three of them sat in the babysitter's car and waited patiently for the excitement and excitement in their hearts that they exploded all of a sudden!
"I'm not dreaming! We are just like this, becoming the host of Hongbai?!" Masaki Chiba looked unbelievable, and asked Kiyoshi Sakamoto who was sitting aside with the corner of his mouth raised, "Qing, is this true? ?”

"Hmm..." Kiyoshi Sakamoto, who was in a good mood, also teased, "Maybe it's a dream, do you want me to pinch you to see if it hurts?"

"Uh..." While Chiba Masaki was hesitating, Ogawa took the first step and squeezed his thigh hard.

"Ah! It hurts!!!"

Clutching his thigh, Chiba Masaki looked at the perpetrator with an innocent face, "Really, what are you doing?!"

"Well, I'm helping you make sure that this is not a dream..."

"Uh..." Chiba Masaki was speechless.

In the speeding nanny car, there was bursts of laughter in an instant. . .
