Reborn Japan for entertainment

Chapter 744

Time flies by, and the pace of time never stops for anyone in this world.

Unknowingly, the breath of summer has come to the neon people.

Entering July, many TV stations' summer programs are also appearing one after another.

For example, Fuji's "Moon Nine" drama "Rich Man and Poor Girl", NTV's "Water Ten" drama "Special National Tax Collector", and the Asahi Jinjiu drama that has received much attention before it was broadcast, "Omotesando High School Chorus!
As Kiyoshi Sakamoto's first TV series as the screenwriter, "Omotesando High School Chorus" not only has the popularity of Rena Nonen, Masaki Suda, Kento Yamazaki, Mai Shiraishi, etc., but also has the blessing of Kiyoshi Sakamoto, and it is destined to become 2012. Summer's Most Watched TV Series!
Judging from TV Asahi's behavior of putting "Omotesando High School Chorus" in prime time, TV Asahi undoubtedly has great confidence in Kiyoshi Sakamoto and the show.

As the broadcast time draws closer, the public's attention is focused on the second golden day in July.

That was the day when "Omotesando High School Chorus" premiered.

. . . . . .

School dramas have always been an excellent start for Ruoshou actors.

In recent years, the number of school dramas has been small, but there are still several masterpieces with high quality and attention.

Among them, the "Birth Quartet" that made Ruashou popular and became familiar to the audience is the most talked about.

In Japan, the word "birth" has the meaning of being outstanding and emerging.

And the "Birth Quartet" refers to the four well-received campus works in the past two years: "Confession", "Mr. Suzuki" and "I heard that Kirishima is going to retire" and "Those Years"

These four works with campus backgrounds have allowed many Ruoshou actors to get the attention of the audience while getting the opportunity to practice.

Especially "I heard that Kirishima is going to quit the club", the newcomers such as Hashimoto Ai, Kamiki Ryunosuke, Yoshioka Riho, Shiraishi Mai, etc. became popular in one fell swoop.

Of course, as the most eye-catching one, it is naturally Rena Nonen who is about to act as the leading role in the prime time for the first time in "Omotesando High School Chorus Club" and became famous with "Those Years" in one fell swoop!

Not to mention, other familiar names in the play: Suda Masaki, Yamazaki Kento, Shiraishi Mai, Yoshioka Riho. . .

All the characters in the whole show of "Biao Gao" are all played by actors under SMA.

However, SMA is not afraid of the audience complaining at all, "This is an SMA drama".

After all, the purpose of making this show was originally to promote these Ruoshou under his banner.

No matter where the rich water does not flow into the field of outsiders, this principle is very common.

What's more, as long as the script and the acting skills of the actors are not so bad, then, even for the face of these young fresh meats, and the popularity of Kiyoshi Sakamoto, the ratings of "Biao Gao" It will definitely not be low!

. . .

March 7, 13:10 p.m.

In Osaka, 550 kilometers away from Tokyo, Kiyoshi Sakamoto, who was sitting on a chair, chatting with Yui Aragaki while waiting for the next scene, received a call.

"It's Ishida-san, the ratings are out."

After taking the mobile phone from the assistant, Kiyoshi Sakamoto put it to his ear, "How is it?"

On the other end of the phone, came the voice of the manager's uncle, who was a little excited but couldn't hide the vicissitudes of life.

"What do you think is the ratings of the first episode?"

"20?" Sakamoto deliberately reported a very high number.

"..."

On the other end of the phone, there was silence for a moment before speaking again: "Are you joking? How can there be a TV series with a rating of over 20 now?!"

"Obviously you asked me to guess..." Kiyoshi Sakamoto said with a smile, "I have great confidence in my TV series, can't I?"

"I..." Uncle Ishida on the other end was a little annoyed.

"Hahaha..." Smiling, Sakamoto Kiyoshi comforted the resentful Uncle Ishida, "Okay, okay, I won't tease you anymore, just tell me."

"The real-time ratings of the first episode..."

"11%!"

"Oh. It's not bad..." Although the mouth was so understated, Yui Aragaki, who was sitting by the side, noticed that the corner of someone's mouth was slightly raised.

Obviously, his heart is not just as indifferent as it seems on the surface. . .

These days, in an era when the ratings of TV dramas are declining, if the ratings can exceed 10%, it is not bad.

What's more, this is a campus youth drama, not the favorite type of drama for the main housewives. . .

Therefore, being able to pass 10% has already met Kiyoshi Sakamoto's minimum requirements for this drama, and it is even a little higher than expected. . .

In fact, if the chorus elements in the play are removed, the story structure of "Omotesando High School Chorus" is not significantly different from other passionate school dramas.

The plot is also relatively simple: In order to save her parents’ marriage, she likes to sing in chorus. An ordinary female high school student who transferred from Kagawa County to Omotesando High School. However, it was discovered that the chorus department, which had won numerous awards, had already existed in name only in the school, and even the former members of the chorus department were classified as "outside the circle" in the small group division of the class.

In order to find the legendary score and save the love between his parents facing divorce, Kagawa began to try his best to revive the chorus.

In the process of recruiting members, Kagawa also encountered bullying from members of the "First Army" active small group.

And the instructor who has a sad past, on the surface, doesn't care about the instruction activities, and charges for arranging and writing music scores for the students, but in fact, he was moved by Kagawa's enthusiasm for revived choir activities, and tried his best to do a good job. can do the job. . .

One by one to solve the various knots of the students in the class, and absorb them into the choir to perform activities together. This kind of development is actually an ordinary school drama model.

However, after adding chorus elements, the play becomes very different from ordinary school plays.

This time, "Omotesando High School Chorus" positions the choir as a youthful and energetic style, and chooses various classic chorus repertoires and the most popular hit repertoires for adaptation, in order to cheer up and support the students who are in a trough, except that there is no dance performance Besides, it can be said that this is the Japanese version of "Glee"!
Coupled with the very good-looking cast, and the audience who enjoy both visual and auditory enjoyment, it is natural that this drama has received constant praise.

A good reputation is also reflected in the data, that is, the ratings.

From 11% in the first episode, to 13% in the second episode, and then to the fifth episode when the plot was halfway through, breaking through 15%, the ratings of "Omotesando High School Choir Club" continued to rise under the applause of everyone. After broadcasting the sixth episode, with a real-time ratings of 17%, it became the ratings champion of the same period!

This campus youth drama without big names joined, in the bleak and boring summer, the Asahi Kinku drama "Omotesando High School Chorus", which has attracted much attention before the broadcast, relies on the classic summer campus theme with a novel chorus The group element has become a dark horse in the summer file!
This made Kiyoshi Sakamoto, who was far away in Osaka, heaved a sigh of relief.

This is the first step for SMA to step into TV drama production, and it is also the most important step in SMA's grand plan to promote its artists.

A good start is half the battle.

In this way, the joint production of SMA and other TV stations also makes SMA's pace not limited to movies. . .
