Chapter 134 I'm Big Brother The next day. Photo studio. "Objection!" "Yamano Yusei! There's something wrong with your testimony. You just said that you were so scared that you didn't even enter the room, but the murder weapon, the sculpture of the Thinker, is actually an alarm clock. You heard the alarm clock chime when you killed someone." "You will be startled when you suddenly hear the time, so you will have such a deep impression of this time!" Nikaidou Ryusuke slammed the table. The plot of this section is basically all acting. But Ryusuke Nikaido acted very well. What’s even more amazing is that after this segment was over, the guests’ reactions were also very interesting, with everyone clapping their hands on the table and joining in the fun.
"Yes, yes." "You are the murderer!" However, Tadakuni, who plays Yamano Yusei, is also very good. He can even refute such a plot-killing move. "It's not me. I have an alibi. Besides, if I wanted to kill someone, there's no need to bring an alarm clock." During the evidence collection stage, no one found any decisive evidence against Yamano Yusei, and Zhongbang's face was also quite confusing. After a few rebuttals, everyone actually started to doubt again. In the end, in the first period, he escaped the final judgment by one vote. Won the victory. After the final result came out, all the guests cried and screamed in regret and kept reviewing the situation. Ping Qingshan also recorded the entire review process. This kind of detective program is essentially similar to script-killing shows, and it is also very interesting to review them. More importantly, reviewing them can calm the audience's emotions and increase their expectations for the next episode. In a blink of an eye, the first three episodes of "Reversal Detective" were completed. And it was officially released on Tokyo TV. TEPCO's purchase price is 1100 million yen per episode, which is not high, but this price is based on a bet agreement. The betting agreement between Taira Kiyoshige and Tokyo TV is that the base viewership is 10%, and on this basis, the bonus will increase by 1 million yen for every additional 100% of viewership. The maximum amount is 1500 million yen. This price is quite good. After all, although they announced that their cost was 1000 million yen, they know their own business, and the guests invited for the first episode are not big names. Including props, the total cost was only 700 million yen.
In the past half month, a total of about 2300 million yen was invested in the three seasons, with an income of 3300 million. This does not include the fact that if the ratings exceed 10% after the broadcast, Tokyo TV will purchase it for a long time. It's like a long-term meal ticket. After getting the money, Ping Qingshan's first thing was to distribute a round of bonuses to everyone in the studio. At the same time, this project was successfully handed over to Daze Mingguang. ~~~ this day. Tokyo. The spring rain is continuous. As there were two more residents in the villa, Ping Qingshan's private car became much busier. Today, Kasumigaoka Utaha is going to a book signing event and Sakurajima Mai has to go to class, and their routes conflict a bit, so Hira Kiyoshige was very gentlemanly and chose to take a taxi himself and let the girls take the ride. I forgot to bring an umbrella when I went out, so I got caught in the rain after getting off the bus. But for Ping Qingshan, this little bit of rain was nothing to worry about. He is a strong young man, how could he catch a cold from the rain? This is what Ping Qingshan thought. But the reality is often so coincidental. In the afternoon, Ping Qingshan was writing a script at his desk when he suddenly started sneezing wildly and couldn't stop. He felt a little confused. He wiped his nose and found no runny nose. He also felt his forehead and there didn't seem to be any discomfort. However, his nose was itchy. Glanced at the window. Is it because the window was not closed? Is there a breeze? Thinking of this, Ping Qingshan hurriedly closed the window and turned on the heater in the office. The script he is currently writing is a TV series called "My Name is Big Brother" To be honest, Ping Qingshan had many other scripts in his mind, but after much thought, he decided to use this one. In the past, there were actually quite a few such nonsensical dramas in Japan, such as "The Brave Yoshihiko and the Devil's Castle" and "The New Three Kingdoms". Although this kind of drama has a good reputation among a niche group of people, it is difficult for it to go viral. For example, the ratings of "Yoshihiko the Brave and the Demon King's Castle" were only 3% However, "I'm Big Brother" is different. The drama quickly became popular after its release. In Japan in 2018, the first episode had a viewership rating of . The seventh episode had a viewership rating of over 7 for the first time, and the final episode had a viewership rating of 10%. You should know that the drama with the highest viewership in Japan in 2018 was only 17%. And this is a low-budget late-night drama.
Ping Qingshan chose this drama mainly based on two considerations. First of all, it’s because of the subject matter of this drama. The reason why "I'm Big Brother" was so popular in Japan in its previous life was largely due to the benefits of the subject matter. Bad boys are not just urban legends in Japan. But something that actually exists. And at a certain time, just like the Chinese people's feelings towards the Hong Kong movie Young and Dangerous, there was also a generation of Japanese people who had an inexplicable feeling towards bad boys. What’s more, the subject matter is a funny one. It allows people to let down their guard. It is actually normal to achieve success in the end. Secondly, the filming of this drama is very easy. Just choose a good director, good actors, and shoot according to the script, and the effect will not be too bad. Ping Qingshan only needs to follow the crew for a period of time in the early stage to free up his time. That's why he hurried to write the script. The preliminary round of the campus idol competition has already begun, and soon his focus will be on the idol project, which is after all the main battlefield with Xiongshan Meidu in the first half of the year. But after he closed the window, turned on the air conditioner, and sat down to write three and a half lines, he sneezed violently again. I suddenly felt puzzled - what's going on? The cherry blossom season isn't over yet, and the rainy season hasn't arrived yet, so I shouldn't be getting hay fever at this time! Is someone scolding me? But how many people must be scolding me for sneezing like this? Hmm? Could it be Kasumigaoka Utaha? Or Sakurajima Mai? That's not right. I should have slept with them these days. It doesn't make sense. Later on, Ping Qingshan kept coughing. I simply put down my pen and took a break. Just then, Nakamura Sakegami came in. "Supervisor? Do you have a cold?" Although the movie "Battle Royale" has been completed and released for a long time, the old people in the crew at that time still like to call Ping Qingshan the director. It not only expresses respect, but also has the meaning of expressing closeness. Ping Qingshan rubbed his dizzy head and said vaguely, "It's okay now, don't worry," and then quickly changed the subject and asked, "Are the ratings out?" Nakamura Sake glanced at Ping Qingshan.
Feeling that he didn't seem to have any problems, I didn't ask any more questions. I sat directly across from his desk, handed him the ratings statistics report, and said with a smile: "The results are not bad, much better than expected." Chapter 135 Reversal Detective Apart from the fact that its budget has been relaxed, "Reversal Detective" is essentially a normal variety show. It's just because it's a work by Hirakiyosugi, so Tokyo TV gave it a prime time slot on Tuesday. Speaking of which, the entire Tokyo TV variety show is now almost entirely supported by Ping Qingshan. The weekend is the ace show "Everyone's Battle Royale" Monday is "Human Observation" Tuesday is the day for the show "Reversal Detective" Wednesday is "What are you doing in Japan?" Thursday is the former flagship show of TV Tokyo, "Everyone Buys, Buys, Buys". Speaking of this show, it is also very interesting. The show was previously called "What to Buy Today" Later, after "Everyone's Battle Royale" became popular, it followed the trend and changed its name to "Everyone Buys Buys Buy". However, apart from the name change, the content of the program has not changed at all, but the ratings have increased from 6 to 8%. In addition, the special peripheral program linked to "Battle Royale" has set a sales peak since its launch. It was really confusing, but it also made the people at Tokyo TV look at Hirakiyosugi with a higher opinion of him. In addition to these, Friday's variety show is also planned by Ping Qingshan, "Absolutely No Laughing" A quick glance at the entire Tokyo TV program list shows that programs are either produced by Hira Kiyoshige or are planned by him. It is a miracle in the industry. "Reversal Detective" was launched on Tuesday and was highly regarded throughout Tokyo TV, especially the first three episodes, after all, they were shot by Hira Kiyon himself. Therefore, the publicity budget provided by Tokyo TV is sufficient. In the end, the answer given by Ping Qingshan did not disappoint them. The average time-sharing ratings were , the highest time-sharing ratings were , and the time-sharing ratings in the last five minutes were 14%. These days, the default life-and-death line for prime-time variety shows to be cut is 10%. Only if it's below 10% is there a need to get anxious, and the first episode of the season had over 10%, which is really pretty good. In particular, the ratings fluctuated very smoothly, from 10% at the beginning of the show, it has been steadily sloping upwards, so stable that it is almost like a straight line. It didn't reach its peak of 14% until the end of the show, and then there was a slight decline that was almost negligible. This shows that the audience is very satisfied with the content of this program. Even after the show ended, the ratings slowly declined, which means that the audience did not change channels immediately after watching the show and were still savoring the previous plot. The quality of this opening is basically determined. From now on, as long as Ping Qingshan's production team doesn't get crazy and don't shoot content that will cause widespread disgust among the audience, there will be no problem with the ratings of this show. At the same time, this also means that according to the gambling agreement, Tokyo TV will have to pay another 400 million yen for the first period. But for TV Tokyo.
They would love to give Ping Qingshan 400 million for every episode. As long as the ratings can be guaranteed.
