Japanese Entertainment: From special effects actor to action superstar

Chapter 339 The set meal is selling like crazy

Inside TV Asahi, in the conference room, there was a gloomy atmosphere.

Putting aside the release of the work, the key issue now is that the interview rights cannot be obtained, and several other TV stations have jointly attacked it, so the ratings have been greatly affected.

Even if it is only temporary, it will greatly affect the confidence of investors and other shareholders.

Let’s not worry about what Akira Furuya did before.

He is now the best actor!
"Xiao Gu, hold your head up! Don't think you can get away with this by just bowing your head and pretending to be dead! That's the Best Actor! The film that won the Best Actor at Cannes. Even though he didn't star in it himself but it was produced by him, how can you just turn him away like that!"

"We have collaborated with Toei TV Class many times. How can we turn them away just because of such a trivial matter?"

Section Chief Odani felt aggrieved.

Isn’t this what the superiors have agreed to?

The superiors also want to generate revenue and want advertisers, so in the end they ask him to do things, and if he does something wrong they will find trouble with him!
But Section Chief Kotani would never dare to retort.

In the Japanese workplace, the hierarchy is very strict.

The only good thing is that he probably won't be fired.

——Japanese companies have a lifetime employment system, which is basically equivalent to the state-owned enterprises next door. They will not fire people easily.

At most, it may just be marginalized for a period of time.

After berating him for a while, the boss finally loosened his tie, looking a bit annoyed. "Anyway, I don't care what method you use, just go and apologize! You won't get the work, but at least stop attacking TV Asahi!"

Section Chief Kotani hesitated for a while before speaking.

"But no matter what, this is a finalized work. Although we have found a platform to broadcast it, Tokyo TV's strength is also very average. Is it really necessary to do this? We are TV Asahi."

A big platform has the reputation of a big platform.

This really made the boss hesitate.

Section Chief Kotani struck while the iron was hot: "After all, it's just a children's show! Children's shows have limited viewership, not to mention the platform isn't big. This matter will soon be over. If we give in now, then won't other companies use similar methods to make us give in in the future? We are TV Asahi, and we have no choice but to make them give in to us!"

Section Chief Kotani no longer cared what he was saying.

In short, he won't go looking for someone to apologize.

So embarrassing!
The boss was silent for a long time, but finally waved his hand as a sign of agreement.

Ultimately, he had the same idea.

Would a big platform like TV Asahi go out of its way to bow down to others?

Wake up! We are big too!

……

……

It is in this case.

On May 5, the first episode of "Armor Sentai Light and Shadow Legend" was officially released.

It will then be screened every Saturday evening at 7pm.

In a blink of an eye, it was the day after the screening.

Salia is busy!

Completely exploded!

When several Saizeriya stores in Tokyo opened to welcome customers as usual this weekend, the stores immediately became bustling.

The clerk walked through the crowd and opened the rolling door with difficulty, and then was immediately faced with those almost crazy questions.

"There's a secret base!"

"Toilet!"

"I'm going……"

Almost all the children ran into the bathroom as soon as they rushed into Saria.

Unfortunately, there was no secret base in the bathroom. There was only a sweeping lady looking at the group of children blankly.

Fortunately, there are still some parents who understand things. They touch their wallets and prepare to run out to buy something to eat.

"Oh...it's because of that drama!" The clerk quickly realized, getting into character: "Actually, we have a new product in our store, you could call it a set meal! As long as you buy this set, it's like supporting your favorite character!"

"Look! This is the fiery hot Flame Dragon Pasta Set! It includes a special serving of spicy pasta and a serving of spicy chicken. If you buy the set now, you can also enter the lucky draw for a chance to win a Flame Dragon Armor toy!"

"This is the delicious Fengying pasta set! It contains a special creamy carbonara pasta and a serving of delicious mashed potatoes..." The parent was surprised.

What the hell is this! You don’t have a basement in your store, yet you have toys and pasta sets!

Looking at the price, it’s actually pretty good and acceptable.

A resentful parent named Kinoshita bought two meal sets under the gaze of his own children.

The clerk smiled professionally: "Okay! Congratulations! You can enter the lottery twice. The chances of winning are very high!"

You don't even need to look at Kinoshita Danjiro.

He's not tall at all. He thinks he's very lucky to be able to touch a signboard.

Having said that, looking at the expectant expressions of his children, he still reached out and touched the two prizes.

When he opened it, Kinoshita Danjiro was shocked.

All toys!

"Wow!" the clerk exclaimed at the perfect moment. "It's the legendary collector's edition toy! It's a set that only children who are recognized by the armor can get! This is a cute version of the Flame Dragon toy! Although it's two sets, but if you work hard and try hard, you might get a toy of another armor!"

Kinoshita Danjiro returned to his seat with a look of astonishment on his face and two cute-version toys wrapped in a rough little box.

It doesn’t matter whether you call them figures or capsule toys, they are two toys whose quality is obviously not very good at first glance.

——The color is inherited from generation to generation, and the cost is extremely low.

Having said that, Xiaoji was very happy and started to clink the two figures against each other.

"Dad!" He suddenly looked at his old father in front of him and said, "I want a wind eagle toy."

"There's no wind eagle, only a fire dragon. Eat it quickly."

"But I want Wind Eagle!"

"I think you want to be beaten!"

"But I really want the Wind Eagle toy..."

Kinoshita Danjiro couldn't help scratching his head.

This is troublesome.

Even after eating two set meals today, he couldn’t finish any more!
But he also had a solution. Kinoshita Danjiro took his Flame Dragon toy and prepared to see if he could find someone to trade it with.

It’s okay not to ask.

When he went out to ask, Kinoshita Danjiro was shocked.

It seems like all the kids in Tokyo have been chosen by the Flame Dragon Armor! Every one of them is holding a Flame Dragon toy!

Is there a Wind Eagle?

It’s not that there aren’t any, but there are only a few.

Kinoshita Danjiro spent a lot of effort and finally paid a little more money to buy a wind eagle toy from a kid who didn't look very smart.

Looking at the rough boxed Q-version figure in his hand, Kinoshita Danjiro suddenly felt as if he had fallen into some powerful dark web.

What a loss! This crappy toy isn't worth that much!

But looking at his child's satisfied expression, Kinoshita Danjiro could only sigh.

What else can I do! The kids love it!

……

Xiaoji, who got both the Wind Eagle and the Fire Dragon, became the coolest boy in the school. He was almost robbed by senior students when he went out.

Fortunately, at the critical moment, another big monkey came and rescued him.

Yanagisawa Shingo pulled Xiaoji and said proudly, "Come on, I'll treat you to a meal at Saizeriya!"

"Really? But why?"

Xiaoji didn't understand. Why did they suddenly invite him to dinner?

"Needless to say?" Yanagisawa Shingo chuckled. "I went to Saizeriya for a joint meal and got a Wind Eagle toy. Just as I was leaving, I ran into a complete idiot who traded his Flame Dragon toy for 1,000 yen! Don't you think this guy is stupid?"

Xiaoji slapped his thigh.

Not smart indeed!
