"Sparks" unexpectedly became popular. Even though investors were not optimistic about it, there was no support from the TV station, and even the producer and starring actors were once exposed to abducting underage girls. This drama has become a topic that everyone is talking about.

So much so that Yuki, who was already determined to be frozen for violating the ban on dating! She also received recognition for her acting skills because of her image of Naoki in "Spark". NHK even sent an audition for a morning drama to Ganli Agency for this reason.

invite.

However, all this is just a superficial phenomenon.

Under the surging undercurrent, some people with long-term vision saw a crisis, a terrible crisis.

The first one to react was TBS. After the cumulative playback volume of "Spark" exceeded 100 million, it immediately approached Star Circle and proposed the idea of ​​investment.

"Investment? But... we are not short of funds now!"

Seeing the investment plan handed over by the other party, Arata just flipped through a few pages before becoming interested in chatting. Since the last conversation with Senior Morizono, going public is now the only goal of Xinghuan Society. As for investment, if it is

Last year, Xintai might have shed tears of gratitude, but now...

"Ah, President Furuta! We are very sincere this time. No matter what the conditions are, we are willing to sit down and have a serious discussion with you. After all, you also know that once your company becomes a company under TBS, then

The people in your company are equivalent to having a stable backer in the television industry. So, please be sure to consider it!"

The other party persuaded Arata sincerely. At this time Arata was still a little unclear about TBS's intentions. He remained silent and just turned his head and glanced at Morizono-senpai who was standing aside.

"Sorry, we have cooperated very well with Netflix this time. We may not have much demand for funds for the time being..."

Senior Morizono said something seemingly casually, but who knew that the other person's face immediately changed.

"Hey, do you...do you intend to accept investment from Netflix? President Furuta, I think you should think twice about this matter!"

After hearing Senior Morizon's probing words, Arata finally thought of why TBS suddenly became interested in Star Circle Society at this time.

I'm afraid it's because the "Sparks" hit this time has had a big impact on the TV station.

All in all, online dramas are still a new thing in Japan. Because in Japan, most TV dramas are broadcast through TV stations. As an important means of earning advertising fees, the ratings of TV dramas every year are one of the TV stations.

An important indicator. Now, "Sparks" jointly created by Netflix and Star Circle has set a revolutionary precedent for the traditional industry. It seems that in the future, the agency will bypass TV stations and cooperate with technology companies like Netflix

, seems to be a good choice too.

"I'm sorry, although TBS's plan this time is very sincere, but... we still have our own plans. At the moment, we plan to continue to develop new businesses and seek listing while maintaining our brokerage business. In this regard, I only

I can express my regret to your company!"

"Going public? President Furuta doesn't really think that just grabbing Netflix's thigh is enough!"

"Eh?"

"If I remember correctly, Netflix is ​​an American company! I think President Furuta should also know what kind of attitude our company always has towards outsiders!"

Although the other party's tone was threatening, when he said this again, there was always a smile on his face. Seeing that Arata and Morizon were silent for a long time, the tbs representative changed his tone and continued:

"I'm really sorry. Maybe what I just said caused a misunderstanding between you two. In fact, the reason why we, TBS, took the initiative to come to your door was because of your company's excellent production capabilities. To be honest, this "Spark" project

We are really convinced by the success. We feel that if Xinghuan Society can join the tbs family, maybe we can achieve something together!"

"But our plan is to become a listed company!"

"Ah, regarding this, even if we really accept our investment, we will not announce the listing plan for Star Circle. After all, this is a matter of great benefit and no harm to investors!

"

"What do you mean?"

"We plan to re-establish a new production department and hope to jointly create projects like "Sparks" with Star Circle. I'm afraid you also know that this year our TBS finally broke Fuji TV's eight-year ratings monopoly. So in order to consolidate

Hello to us

It is a hard-earned result, and we very much hope to maintain the prime-time ratings. President Furuta starred in Fuji Channel's September 9th drama for three consecutive quarters last year, and won the first place in the ratings each time.

Ability is what TBS currently lacks!"

The other party's words were sincere, and Arata was really moved after hearing them. After all, it is not easy to go public, but if there is the support of the TV station, that is another matter. In addition, Star Circle's current production career has just begun.

Starting. From what the other party said, it seems that they want to seek cooperation with the Star Circle Society in this aspect. If this is the case, wouldn’t it create a good growth opportunity for the nascent Star Circle Society?

"Okay, I'm taking the liberty of coming here today. You two definitely need time to think about such a big matter. Why don't we talk about it another day!"

The other party seemed to be a little moved when they saw Xintai, but they were not in a hurry. They just left the investment plan and then took the initiative to leave.

It seems that the Star Circle Society is finally turning around this time.

Although it still takes time to think about it, both Arata and senior Morizon can realize that the success of the "Spark" project has opened a door to a new world for the Star Circle Society. From this point of view, what should we do?

To decide, let’s look at the Nishimura family’s opinions!

"Then, I will take the time to visit Mrs. Nishimura and see how she decides! Although our idea is to make Xinghuan Society successfully listed, this company belongs to the Nishimura family after all. If Mrs. Nishimura insists,

If we want to take action, we will naturally not be able to stop it. In short, this time, I can safely comfort the former president’s spirit in heaven!”

During this period, because the club's business was back on track, Arata only came here every now and then. However, Mr. Tanakura had already started asking him if he was interested in participating in the summer drama.

But Arata can't nod easily. After all, he owes Morizono-senpai a huge favor in the Star Circle Society, and the baseball game between the Students' Association and Tokyo Six is ​​about to begin. This is Arata's repayment to Morien.
Chapter completed!
