Chapter 344 Illya, please don't make trouble
🕑 Added 2025-05-26 15:23:27 +0000 UTCIn NHK's director's room, almost all the senior executives of the NHK program team were paying attention to the ratings of this program.
Such a huge amount of money was spent and the effect of two strong rivals was created as much as possible. All of this was done to gain ratings.
With the rise of the Internet, ratings for television shows have been declining.
Compared to a single television that can only provide TV programs, the younger generation is more interested in the Internet that can provide more services.
TV dramas are no longer an indispensable part of people's lives.
Especially with the launch of [See Moon], now even watching TV series can be done online.
This has dealt a huge blow to the traditional TV station business, and has made them hate video websites to the core.
If [See Moon] was not backed by Washimine, the TV stations would have protested and wanted to block the website long ago.
Even so, they continue to criticize the [See Moon] website.
Domestic sports competitions in Japan, new TV dramas and new shows, all programs with the latest content are not allowed to be shown on [See Moon]. Perhaps in their eyes, letting [See Moon] eat their leftovers is their victory.
At the same time, they demonize the Internet, describing it as something that only stay-at-home kids and the dregs of society would use.
I urge everyone not to use the Internet, television is the proper form of entertainment.
Although this argument is very strange, it is not surprising for a country that can debate whether paper-based or electronic office work is better until the 21st century.
However, Genichi Hashimoto, the new president of NHK National Television, who has only been in office for over a year, does not think so.
Existing data shows that no matter how the TV people try to whitewash the situation, the rise of the Internet is unstoppable.
The TV station’s declining ratings every year is the best proof that data never lie.
In Hashimoto Genichi's view, there are only two ways for TV stations to regain their audience.
One is to create more distinctive and high-quality programs to attract audiences.
Another is to actively cooperate with video websites and even launch online simultaneous playback services.
Unfortunately, the conservative forces in NHK are so powerful that even as the president, he has no way to advance his ideas.
[I can only change it little by little. I hope Washimine will not let me down. ]
Hashimoto Genichi thought to himself that if he wanted to make a breakthrough, he could only break the original conservative forces and muddy the waters.
As a large conglomerate, Washimine undoubtedly has such potential.
Even though NHK made Lin Bao and Washimine seem so evenly matched this time, Hashimoto Genichi was actually hoping that Washimine would win in the end.
"How are the ratings?" Hashimoto Motoichi asked his subordinates
"Before the Manzai show, the rate was 29%, but now it has been pushed to 30%."
Hashimoto Genichi rubbed his eyes and asked, "What was the highest before?"
"35%." The staff member replied, "When Fate won the Best Original Score and Best Cinematography, achieving 4 nominations and awards."
“Is this all that even comedians can do?” Hashimoto Motoichi gave a wry smile.
This matter has nothing to do with Taiga directly. After all, as a national-level comedian, even Taiga's main show "Tiger Dojo" has an average viewership of only 25%.
Hashimoto Genichi was more lamenting that the era of television is over.
After all, in the past, a comedian of Ohaka’s level could get over 30% ratings even if he didn’t say anything, just by appearing on camera.
Of course, when the audience turns on the TV, they definitely don’t go to watch Taiga tell crosstalk, but to watch their favorite movies win awards.
And speaking of all the nominated films, is there any movie that can surpass "Fate"?
The audience came to see Fate crush other movies and win awards from the very beginning, so there was no need to think too much about this matter from the beginning.
After this, "Fate" continued to show the momentum of sweeping the world like a king.
Although because Junichi Ishida lost the Best Supporting Actor award before, Fate was not able to achieve the achievement of winning the award just by being nominated.
But winning two new technical trophies for Best Editing and Best Lighting also means that Fate is invincible in technical awards.
The strong performance of "Fate" also boosted the ratings of the Japanese Oscars ceremony.
With the awarding of the Best Lighting Award, NHK's ratings have risen to 35%, which is already in the first tier of TV program ratings.
However, this has not stopped yet, and the ratings of the show are still slowly climbing.
"This is……"
Genichi Hashimoto was very surprised and he almost couldn't believe the data.
"The next award is Best Screenplay, which is a very important award." His deputy saw his boss's confused expression and quickly reminded him.
"No wonder, it looks like the battle between Washimine and Lin Bao is about to begin."
Hashimoto Genichi suddenly realized.
The Best Screenplay award is a strange one. It is not a technical award or an acting award, but it is one level lower than the Best Picture and Best Director awards.
This award is usually either used to comfort people or to pave the way for the king.
At present, no one knows which category this year's award will fall into, but everyone believes that the owner of this award will be a very important signal.
On the stage of Pamir International Pavilion, Amami Yuki walked up slowly, and at this time all the guests looked at Kiritsugu.
Many of them knew about the relationship between Kiritsugu and Amami Yuki. Even those who didn't know knew it when they saw so many people looking at Kiritsugu.
"Ah, ah."
Irisviel did not hit anyone, nor did she directly ask Kiritsugu about any past events between him and the woman on the stage.
She just smiled and said, "Kiritsugu, you think she's beautiful, right? Have you been staring at her like this since she came on stage?"
“…”
Kiritsugu felt that if there was a hole in the ground right now, he would definitely crawl into it.
"It's very painful to be asked about your ex-lover by your current wife." Nanaya said in a tone of someone who has experienced it, "Because no matter what you answer, the conclusion will be wrong."
There was a gleam in Shion's eyes: "You seem to know a lot about it."
"certainly."
Nanaya said gloatingly: "Do you know? When I was asked by Rin and Sakura in bed..."
"Snort!"
Nanaya couldn't continue because his calf was kicked hard by Shion.
"Again?"
Nanaya covered his calves speechlessly, luckily there was a tablecloth covering them, otherwise he would be captured by the camera like this, and Shion would probably be added to the list of [Guessing Director Nanaya Kiryu's Marriage List].
“The script is the foundation and skeleton of a film. Without a good story, no matter how good the actors are, they can’t show their acting skills. Without a good story, no matter how gorgeous the camera colors are, they are just empty pictures.”
Standing on the stage, Yuki Amami said her opening remarks slowly, "It takes a lot of talent to write a good story. We are very lucky that we have seen many good stories this year. Many of them have been recognized by the world."
As she spoke, Amami Yuki turned towards the big screen and reported the entire list of candidates. She picked up the envelope prepared by the organizer and opened it.
Amami Yuki looked down, then she turned her gaze first to Illya beside her, and then to Kiritsugu who was sitting in the crowd.
"I am honored to announce that the winner is Ryota Furusawa and Takashi Yamazaki for "Forever Sunset on 3rd Street"
“Congratulations to them!”
Amami Yuki took the initiative to clap his hands.
The winner of this award was a bit beyond everyone's expectations. No one thought that the winner would be "San Chome".
“Haha, that’s awesome!”
Kiritsugu danced with joy, as if he had won the award himself.
The two screenwriters of "San Chome" were also very surprised. They first hugged each other, and then shook hands and hugged the crew members to express their excitement.
“What a pity.”
Shion said a little annoyed.
"Not surprising, the plot of the first half of Fate is indeed not particularly good."
Nanaya was also applauding. Although he was surprised by the result, he did not have many negative emotions.
If the second half of UBW didn't win the screenwriting award, Nanaya might be very angry, but he really didn't have many complaints about the first half.
After all, the grievances between Shirou and Archer in UBW are all concentrated in the second half, and Fate can only be regarded as the beginning of the story, and the article is still to come.
Of course, even so, it does not mean that Nanaya will give up other awards. Best Director and Best Picture, the two most important awards, are Nanaya’s real goals and also a reflection of the strength of a film.
The next award was for Best Actress, and the guest who took the stage this time was none other than Illya.
"Then, the Best Actress award will be presented by me personally."
Illya said, sticking out the peak of her chest.
Ever since she started puberty, she has particularly enjoyed doing this move.
"Then first is the list of candidates."
Illya pointed to the big screen next to her and said, “First of all, Auntie Sayuri Yoshinaga, her role as the mother in “North Year Zero” was amazing!
"The next one is Sister Koyuki. She played a young country girl very vividly in "San Chome"."
Then, Illya introduced Yuko Takeuchi from "Spring Snow" and Mika Nakashima from "Nana".
When she introduced Rin at the end, Illya paused for a moment, and then she said in a very soft and innocent childish tone: "Finally, it's Miss Tohsaka Rin, who is only 24 years old, but pretends to be a high school student and perfectly interprets the good sister of a 32-year-old woman in "Fate"!"
Bang.
At the dining table of the Fate crew, Rin and Sakura's cups were knocked over almost at the same time.
