Tokyo: Bubble, but the system is Sengoku

Last night, I was so eager to go out and conduct interviews on the street right after the broadcast.

Besides caring for his junior, he also cares about himself.

After all, Sato's job was also to promote "Shadow Legion," which also represented their interests.

"You've come!"

Although Natsui said that, his gaze was fixed solely on Sato.

"Based on initial feedback, the situation is very good!"

Natsui didn't keep them in suspense and directly took out a photocopy of the document and placed it in front of Chiba and Sato.

Of the 100 people interviewed, 88 expressed surprise and curiosity about Sato's technology.

Sixty-two of them expressed their anticipation for the future of sword-and-halberd films.

Among them, 76 people developed a strong interest in Sato and wanted to become fans.

This data is terrifying.

The fan conversion rate can be described as incredibly high.

"Many A-list celebrities didn't have as high a conversion rate as you back then!"

As soon as Xia Jing finished speaking, the gazes of everyone around Sato changed from shock to awe, and then began to shine.

Although I know this junior is already very talented, his fan conversion rate is even stronger than that of top-tier celebrities.

While this doesn't mean Sato is guaranteed to become a top-tier star, his chances are absolutely enormous if he can maintain his momentum.

"Thank you."

Compared to the others, Sato only smiled slightly, but he was just as excited inside.

His eyes quickly fell on the section for writing reviews.

This is a waste of time, so not many people are willing to write it; out of a hundred people, only thirty-three wrote it.

Typical comments include his dashing figure, youthful good looks, being Chiba's disciple, and the fact that he was originally from "Shadow Legion," etc.

In short, the things I worked hard to do have indeed yielded positive results from my fans.

"Although the number of respondents is relatively small, the data will not fluctuate too much."

Looking at the relatively calm Sato, Natsui felt even more optimistic about the boy's future.

The show immediately captured everyone's attention with its high conversion rate upon airing.

It's bound to be a huge hit, the only difference is whether it's a big hit or a small hit.

Although the internet here is not very developed, and television programs are still scheduled for the afternoon, which is not prime time.

However, the combination of videotape technology, word-of-mouth promotion, and solid skills was enough for Sato to successfully generate a lot of buzz in the Kansai region.

Of course, it doesn't reach the level of a top-tier event where everyone is glued to their screens, nor does it have the same solid fan base as Chiba.

However, it is novel, cool, and powerful.

With all these factors combined, Sato did indeed have such a foundation.

"However, most of your fans are housewives. While that's not a problem, since you have this opportunity, it would be better to broaden your fan base by appealing to a wider age range."

Xia Jing continued.

"I'll talk to your agency about this and try to arrange a few fashion magazine interviews."

Those who read newspapers are usually middle-aged and elderly people, and the majority of television viewers in the afternoon are also this group.

However, generally speaking, most of the audience who like sword-fighting films and "Shadow Legion" are middle-aged and elderly people, so there is nothing wrong with this arrangement.

However, Sato's fan conversion rate was so high that Natsui thought it might be possible to broaden the audience of "Shadow Legion".

Sato is good-looking, no less than those idols from Johnny's Entertainment, and she's also very talented and her acting skills aren't bad either. Isn't she definitely dominating Johnny's Entertainment?

Sato nodded in agreement when he heard what Natsui said.

"Thank you for your help."

These are all sources of popularity; it would be strange if he didn't agree.

I just don't know how things are going with the agency.

Chapter 72 The Company Gets Lively

On the other end of Sato's thoughts.

At this moment, in the Maeda office in Tokyo, Ayako Ogawa looked at the Kansai newspapers and a large pile of fan letters sent from Kansai, and fell into silence.

It's not that I'm unhappy, it's just that everything happened so suddenly.

She was still looking for another opportunity to ambush people in Fujidai when she was shocked by the newspapers and information sent from Kansai.

Although she roughly knew about Sato's recent activities and knew that he had a show, wasn't her artist just starting to gain some popularity?

But what on earth are these newspaper headlines? What does "A New Generation of Sword-Fighting Movie Star" mean? What does "Shinichi Chiba's Only Designated Successor" mean? What does "A Once-in-a-Century Swordsmanship Genius" mean?

Are her own artists really that amazing?

Or is it not the same person?

That's even more impossible. There can't possibly be two Satos in *Shadow Legion*, but...

Is it true? Has Sato really become an overnight sensation?

That doesn't make sense, since Sato hasn't even fired that shot yet.

How did it become famous?

Kansai is too far away, and their small firm has no influence, so they can't get the relevant feedback information.

However, she had also read the report in general terms, and Sato received unanimous praise from the media and critics for both his acting skills and martial arts prowess.

Although it was only a part of the newspapers in the Kansai region, its influence in the Kanto region was limited.

However, in Kansai, according to her professional perspective, Sato was definitely a hit, with hundreds of fan letters alone.

The key issue lies in that videotape containing Sato's promotional video.

As Xiaochuan gradually came to his senses, he looked at the videotape and was about to pick it up when the phone rang first.

"Hello? This is Ogawa from Maeda's agency."

"Ogawa-san, it's me, Takahashi from the production department."

"Takahashi-san? Is something wrong?"

Ogawa paused for a moment, then asked.

"It's about what we talked about before. We have a drama series here now, and the second prime time slot has opened up. It's confirmed that it will be the third lead."

The second prime time slot is roughly from 7:00 to 11:00, which is an hour longer than the regular prime time slot.

But it's not much worse than the gold level.

The role the other party mentioned, although not the lead, was a legitimate second-tier prime-time slot.

It was several levels above the supporting role she had previously wanted to find for Sato in a prime-time slot.

"..."

Ogawa, who had just come to his senses, blinked his big eyes as he listened to the other person's enthusiastic, almost smiling words.

The pie that someone else just made a promise a few days ago has suddenly become a reality?

She certainly didn't think that the other party's perfunctory attitude back then was actually their true feelings.

Then there's only one possibility left.

Ogawa looked down at the videotape and the reports in his hands.

According to the information she had previously obtained, Takahashi's abilities in the production department were only average. There were many producers, and he was just one of them, and he was still relatively inexperienced.

To climb the ladder and become a senior producer or a high-ranking executive in the production department, one must produce more achievements to prove their worth.

That's why she chose to go and ambush them.

He had previously dismissed Sato, but now he's going back to him because he feels Sato's abilities can give him more opportunities to prove his worth.

After all, once the network is established, TV dramas from the Kanto region will still be broadcast in the Kansai region, and Sato's reputation in the Kansai region has likely already exploded.

Although it was just a guess, the other party's information was definitely more advanced than hers, which indirectly confirmed the guess. And if "Shadow Legion" officially airs in the future, Sato's popularity will only increase.

This isn't really about retaliating or anything like that; everyone is just acting out of self-interest.

However, despite thinking this way, Xiaochuan couldn't help but slightly curl the corners of his mouth.

Her originally aloof face gained an extra touch of allure, but unfortunately, no one noticed this stunning beauty.

"Okay, do you have any relevant information?"

Ogawa didn't agree immediately; only a fool would agree right away. Sato, at this point, probably still has more options.

The situation may be different now, so you need to stay calm. Otherwise, if you take on any work you want, you might end up hurting Sato.

Although not all managers respect their artists, Sato is not only her artist but also her bread and butter.
