Life in Tokyo starting as a child star

Kawamura Yuewen was ready to struggle and raise the ceiling of "Little Canteen".

At least it had to reach a level that would satisfy him.

He made up his mind.

He directly spent all the connections he had accumulated before, and even owed others a few favors, and finally got some publicity funds from the production department.

That's how the guys in the production department are.

They always look generous and give whatever they want.

But as long as they talk about money, they just pretend to be dead pigs.

But fortunately, at least the funds were in hand.

He breathed a sigh of relief.

However, this move made his good friend, the producer of "Little Canteen", Ito Yasuhiro, a little confused.

"Kawamura, are you serious?"

Walking on the corridor of Dongguan TV Station, Ito Yasuhiro couldn't help but take a second look at Kawamura Yuewen beside him.

He really didn't know what Kawamura Yuewen suddenly became crazy about.

He spent all his connections to get publicity funds, but ended up just investing in the late-night slot?

Although as the producer of "Little Canteen", Yasuhiro Ito also hopes that the ratings of "Little Canteen" can be satisfactory.

But Kawamura Takefumi's operation is simply putting all the eggs in one basket.

He doesn't leave himself any way out.

In their line of work, especially in the industry.

It is best to leave yourself a way out.

Otherwise, one day you will be kicked out by your boss and demoted to shoot TV commercials without knowing it.

Compared with Yasuhiro Ito's speechless face.

Kawamura Takefumi next to him is very open-minded. He asked back happily.

"Ito, if the ratings of "Little Canteen" this time are average or even very bad, what do you think the group of people in the production department will do?"

"."

After saying this, even Yasuhiro Ito couldn't respond.

Because the ratings of the big production that Kawamura Takefumi was responsible for before were a failure.

As a result, his position in the TV station is also a bit delicate now.

If the failure of "Little Canteen" is added this time.

These two consecutive failures.

It was enough to give the leaders above a reason to further demote Kawamura Takefumi to the department responsible for TV commercials.

That department is a real cold bench, a nightmare for any director.

After all, any director would not want to shoot a TV commercial with no nutrition - who likes to sell rice cookers, massagers and other things?

So -

"Anyway, I might be demoted anyway, so I might as well try my luck on "Little Canteen."

Kawamura Takefumi shrugged.

He thought it through.

Anyway, I'm just a hired director.

The kind who chooses to renew or leave after the one-year trial contract ends.

If the ratings of "Little Canteen" are not good.

The leaders above Dongguan TV will definitely make fun of me.

Anyway, I might as well shoot commercials anyway.

It's better to use all the available resources first and try the ratings.

What if it really succeeds?

He explained so over there.

Ito Yasuhiro next to him couldn't help but hold his forehead.

"Kawamura, what if the performance of "Little Diner" is just average, and you won't be demoted? Instead of wasting all these favors on the late-night slot, it would be better to wait for the next opportunity, right?"

Ito Yasuhiro is the one who understands his friend's ability the most.

The performance of "Little Diner" may not be very good, but it will definitely not fail to meet the passing line.

Kawamura Takefumi will not be so easily "demoted crisis".

Of course, the most important thing is that "Little Diner" is a late-night slot.

The TV industry is no longer the golden age of more than ten years ago.

The late-night slot has been sluggish for many years.

All the favors are spent on the sluggish late-night slot.

And not preparing for the next opportunity.

This is what Ito Yasuhiro doesn't understand the most.

"That's why Ito Yasuhiro is busy talking about investment recently, and he hasn't even been to the shooting site. He doesn't understand how well the two leading actors I invited this time performed."

In response to Ito Yasuhiro's misunderstanding, Kawamura Takefumi just smiled confidently.

"Kawamura, you are too confident about our leading actors, aren't you?"

Ito Yasuhiro rubbed his temples, he just felt a little headache now.

After all, Kawamura Takefumi's attitude towards his two leading actors was too confident, even a bit arrogant.

He remembered it clearly.

There were two leading actors in the first episode of "Little Canteen".

One was Takeo Mikawa, who they had spent a lot of effort to invite.

The other was a boy named Kitasumi Minoru, who was appointed by Kawamura Takefumi.

Ito Yasuhiro naturally knew Takeo Mikawa, it's better to say that there is no one in the industry who doesn't know Takeo Mikawa.

He can indeed support the stage of "Little Canteen".

Ito Yasuhiro admitted this.

But the other boy named Kitasumi Minoru

To be honest, even if he won the Tokyo Newcomer Film Award's 'Best Newcomer Actor Award'.

This boy named Kitasumi Minoru is at most a first-class boy.

A first-rate actor wants to support the ratings of a TV series?

This is a bit difficult, right? At least he has to be a top-tier actor or even better than a top-tier actor.

And this still cannot change the fact that "Little Canteen" is a late-night show.

Late night is late night, a hopeless time slot abandoned by most TV stations.

Perhaps he sensed what Ito Yasuhiro was thinking.

Kawamura Takefumi spoke.

“Don’t worry, Ito, Little Shokudo will definitely create a result that will surprise you.”

“.”

From my communication with you, I can’t find any factors that can make me feel at ease.

Ito Yasuhiro shook his head.

He continued to stare at Kawamura Takefumi.

As a result, this expression fell into Kawamura Takefumi’s eyes.

His eyeballs turned slightly, as if he thought of something, and showed a meaningful smile.

“Ito, since you are so worried, why don’t we make a bet?”

“What bet?”

“If the ratings of the first episode of Little Shokudo can break through 6%, you will cover all of Shimizu’s spending in Ginza for half a year, how about that? Otherwise, I will cover all of your spending.”

“Hmm?”

Ito Yasuhiro showed a little surprise.

6% ratings? "Little Canteen"?

Is Kawamura Takefumi sure he is not dreaming?

As a producer of Dongguan TV Station.

Yasuhiro Ito is the one who knows the ratings of Dongguan TV Station in all time periods best.

Even during the peak period.

It is very difficult for the late night show to break through 6% ratings.

Not to mention that the TV industry is in decline nowadays.

Even a 3% rating for the late night show can be considered excellent in the industry.

Every percentage point increase can be said to be incredible.

As a result, Kawamura Takefumi opened his mouth and said 6%?

Yasuhiro Ito looked at his friend suspiciously.

At this moment, he no longer felt that his friend was too confident.

He began to wonder if the other party had been too stimulated after being demoted by the leadership, causing his brain to be a little abnormal.

Otherwise, he would not have had such a dream that was obviously drunk.

"Are you okay, Kawamura?"

He couldn't help asking, a little worried about Kawamura Takefumi's mental state.

Fortunately, Kawamura Yuewen didn't look wrong, and even looked energetic.

"Of course I'm fine. How about it? Do you want to accept this bet?"

". It's okay to accept this bet. But why do you mention Qingshuishan here? Even if you win, you will cover all the expenses in Ginza for him for half a year."

Ito Yasuhiro couldn't help asking.

As a friend of Kawamura Yuewen, he certainly knew the group of directors like Qingshuishan.

But half a year of consumption in Ginza is not a small amount.

He remembered that Kawamura Yuewen and Qingshuishan's relationship should not be that good, right?

"Uh-don't worry about this, anyway, let's make it this way. "Little Canteen" will be broadcast on Wednesday, and we will know the result on Thursday."

Kawamura Yuewen certainly couldn't tell Ito Yasuhiro that he was cheated by Qingshuishan when he made a bet with his bad friend before.

He laughed and put the topic aside.

"Okay." Kawamura Yuewen gave him money.

Of course, he had no reason to refuse.

"Little Canteen" is a late-night show, and it is impossible to have a 6% audience rating right after it starts.

Since Kawamura Takefumi said that the results will be seen on Wednesday and Thursday

, let's wait for those two days.

He wants to see how the late-night show, which is just in a sluggish state, can be turned around with the help of Kita Sumimi and Mikawa Takeo.

The process of waiting for Wednesday and Thursday can be said to be quite difficult.

At least it is true for Ito Yasuhiro.

The news that Kawamura Takefumi used his connections to apply for publicity and promotion funds for the late-night show from the production bureau quickly spread throughout the TV station.

Although the staff of various departments of the TV station did not say much due to their status.

But it is obvious that their eyes looking at Kawamura Takefumi are not right.

Obviously, they don't understand why the "Little Canteen" filming crew is so desperate to do such a stupid thing.

No matter how much the late-night show is promoted, it is just a late-night show.

Even the producer Yasuhiro Ito was affected, becoming a topic of conversation for many people.

For these social bullshit.

Yasuhiro Ito shook his head helplessly.

Because as early as when Kawamura Takefumi went to apply for publicity funds, he had already anticipated that this might happen.

That's it.

Facing the strange looks of his colleagues, who looked at all the staff of "Little Canteen" as a joke.

Yasuhiro Ito "endured" all the way until "Little Canteen" started on Wednesday.

"It should be about time."

Sitting at home, Yasuhiro Ito glanced at the time.

It is now 10:55 pm.

There are still five minutes before "Little Canteen" starts.

He did not hesitate.

He turned on the TV and tuned it to Dongguan TV.

While flipping through the videos on his mobile phone, he waited for "Little Canteen" to start.

Five minutes is not too long.

When Yasuhiro Ito scrolled to the third video.

A melodious and low music sounded.

At the same time, as the vehicles move forward, pedestrians walk.

Under the lens, a scene of bright lights and green willows, filled with the atmosphere of impetuous prosperity.

Background introduction.

[In a remote corner of Tokyo, Japan, there is such a wonderful and nameless restaurant. 】

[The little chef and the warm dining atmosphere continue to attract diners to come]

[Today is also an ordinary day for the nameless restaurant.]

Then the name of the drama was announced - "Little Diner" Pork Chop Rice Episode.

It's OK.

Yasuhiro Ito nodded.

To be honest, the beginning of "Little Diner" is actually OK.

Use subtitles directly for explanation.

In this way, more time can be spent on the main film, and there is no need to introduce the background of "Little Diner".

The name of the drama and the heartwarming music also directly indicate the type of "Little Diner" - a late-night unit drama.

This beginning must have taken some effort from Kawamura Takefumi.

Yasuhiro Ito nodded secretly.

These days he is helping Kawamura Takefumi to negotiate work outside.

As a member of the golden triangle of the "Little Diner" shooting team, the pressure on him as a producer is actually not much less than that of Kawamura Takefumi.

If the ratings of "Little Shokudo" flop, he will also be "punished".

But——

"For TV dramas, the most important thing is the content."

Yasuhiro Ito whispered to himself.

He has read the script of "Little Shokudo".

It is a slow-burning story with a little warmth and happiness.

Even if Takeo Mikawa and Kitasumi Mi are both excellent in acting, it is impossible to perform such a dull and slow-burning story.

With this thought.

He continued to watch.

But as he watched.

He found something was wrong.

Takeo Mikawa played Saito very well.

Just the two actions of knocking on the door and shouting loudly when he came on stage gave people a feeling that could not be ignored.

He had a strong aura.

Especially when eating pork cutlet rice.

The memories of getting along with his mother and the happiness of shedding tears emerged in Saito's mind.

Even across the screen, Yasuhiro Ito felt the same way.

He really felt the same way.

It seemed that Takeo Mikawa was not acting at all, as if he had really eaten the pork cutlet rice made by Kitasumi and was moved to tears by the taste of happiness.

But what surprised Yasuhiro Ito was not this.

After all, Takeo Mikawa has been famous for a long time.

It is normal for him to be able to show such acting skills.

What he didn't expect was Kitasumi.

The performance of this child actor on the screen was really beyond his expectations.

The pork cutlet rice he served.

Even though it was far away on the other side of the screen.

It made Yasuhiro Ito swallow his saliva secretly, and he had an urge to take a bite and taste the taste.

This feeling was very strange.

Obviously, on the screen, it was just a bowl of ordinary-looking pork cutlet rice.

It was the kind of food that he would never even look at on weekdays.

It just happened to arouse his desire to eat, making his stomach seem to tighten.

The key is that it is not easy to find midnight snacks at this time of night.

Covering his hungry stomach.

Yasuhiro Ito gnashed his teeth, because he had never thought that he could get angry just by watching a food drama, and he felt like asking questions to Kita Sumire on the screen - why did you make a bowl of pork chop rice so delicious? I can't eat it through the screen!

Poisoning late at night?

As a TV producer.

He should control his emotions and not be "tortured" by the actors in the drama.

But at this moment.

Looking at the various delicacies served by Kita Sumire, who plays the boss in "Little Canteen".

Yasuhiro Ito, with an empty stomach, kept swallowing his saliva.

He was really a little angry.

Thanks to Mengyue Jiuxian for the 100 starting coins reward! Thank you very much!

I will write the second chapter immediately!
