Chapter 302 On this day, Cheng Cheng shocked Japan!
"Unnatural Death" is done!
Without a doubt, it succeeded completely!
The dim light from the mobile phone screen shone on Miyasaka Tamako's face.
Lighting up her blushing face!
On the Internet, the homepages of major social media, forums, and film review websites have all been dominated by heated discussions about "Unnatural"!
The topic continues to gain popularity!
The comment section received rave reviews!
There were praises for Cheng Cheng, admirations for the plot, and praise for Miyasaka Tamako's acting skills and beauty.
Miyasaka Tamako covered her face and couldn't help crying with joy!
There was a slight tremor under the fingertips, which was a mixture of excitement and disbelief!
Finally, finally some audience members expressed their recognition of her acting skills!
She has been waiting for this day for too long!
Now, her wish has finally come true and she feels her whole life is fulfilled!
Sure enough, if you want to succeed, you need to meet a good director and a good script~
Cheng Chengjun is her benefactor~

At home, Watanabe Riki's face turned red with excitement and he jumped three feet high!
He hugged his biological mother, then his biological father and biological sister. As they looked in amazement, he picked up the cat that was grooming its fur with its tongue in the cat bed and kicked the cat bed away!
Then he screamed like crazy!
Ahhhhh!
It worked!
I finally succeeded!
I am finally no longer a minor character who only appeared for a few minutes in episode 8. Ahhhhh.
I am finally no longer an unknown figure in the entertainment industry!
I am Kube Rokuro hehe!
He couldn't help but fantasize:
I mean, if I go out tomorrow, will I get bitten for my autograph?

The success of "Unnatural" represents that Cheng Cheng Studio has completely opened up the situation in Japan. Correspondingly, as Cheng Cheng's woman, Goto Risa's status in Oscar Communication will surely rise.
Risa Goto looked at the praises for Cheng Cheng on the Internet and couldn't help but hum.

The next day, major Japanese media outlets reported on the movie "Unnatural" which was released last night, and the articles were all hot:
"A great drama in one episode! "Unnatural Death" reveals the disease of modernization in Japanese society!"
"Cheng Cheng's masterpiece, "Unnatural Death" premiered, causing collective reflection in the Japanese TV drama industry"
"The Great Devil from Tianxia! Cheng Chengjun's first Japanese drama is a great success! With the same cultural background, Cheng Chengjun knows all the ills of East Asia"
A masterpiece of suspense and warmth! The foundation of East Asian cultural masters: writing the warmth and depth of life with words
"Every character in "Unnatural Death" exceeded expectations, especially Miyasaka Tamako!"
The headlines used by the Japanese media were very exaggerated, praising Cheng Cheng to the skies.
In a sense, they really love Cheng Cheng more than the people of Tianxia do! This is a kind of worship of perfect people, a kind of admiration for strength deep in their genes.
Under such circumstances, the real director of "Unnatural" Keita Kawauchi seemed to have disappeared, and most people ignored him, as if "Unnatural" had completely become the work of Cheng Cheng.
But in fact, Cheng Cheng is just the screenwriter of "Unnatural Death".
Ten o'clock in the morning.
Yesterday’s ratings are out!
"Unnatural Death" 12.2%!!!
When this number came out, the whole of Neon was shocked!
The Japanese TV drama market is similar to the Tianxia TV drama market. Before the 21st century, due to the small number of TV stations and TV dramas, and the lack of entertainment activities such as surfing the Internet and using mobile phones, many popular dramas could even get a 30% viewership rate!
After entering the 21st century, with the aging of a generation, Japanese dramas have also entered an era of transition, especially after 10 years. The popular works that once had a viewership rating of 30%+ have almost disappeared. It is considered good if each episode maintains a viewership rating of around 15%, and at best, it just barely passes the 20% line.
Now, 15 years later, because of the diversification of people’s choices, changes in entertainment methods, etc., a viewership rate of 10% is considered quite good!
According to statistics, last year, the champion of Japanese drama ratings in 2021 was "SOA", with an average rating of 13.26%, and the overall average ratings in 2023 were 6.62%!
The premiere of "Unnatural" had a viewership rating of 12.2%.
What is this concept?
This is the level that can compete for the annual championship!
And this is just the first episode. As long as the show maintains the quality of the first episode, it may rise another three or four points by the end! Then "Unnatural" will break the ratings record of the past few years!

Neon TV.
The old station director Shoji Ogawa took a look at the ratings table and his eyes went dark.
He looked away, and looked again, and it was dark again!
Still looking, still dark!
He lives in Bengbu!
Sinai!
Last night, the TV drama ratings on their TV station were only 7%, but "Unnatural" reached 12.2%. Isn't this bullying?
Even if you are a great writer in East Asia, isn't this a bit too much?!
Can you please give us some face?! This makes us look so embarrassed!
-
TV Asahi.
The head of the production department, Masahiro Yasuda, was trembling all over.
Trembling with fear!
He knew exactly what this meant!
The director of TV Asahi is an old Japanese. Because his father was defined as a war criminal during that war, he has very strong anti-Tianxia sentiments and hates everything related to the Tianxia people.
Previously, when Oscar Communication announced the cooperation with Cheng Cheng, the station director was furious and believed that Oscar Communication was inviting a wolf into the house and was the biggest sinner of Japan.
Cheng Cheng is an even more hateful Tianxia person. He should learn the humility of the Japanese people, stay in Tianxia honestly, and not disturb the young people of Japan.
But now, Cheng Cheng has achieved such results in Neon, isn’t this a slap in the face of the director?
He simply couldn't imagine how furious the director would be.
What’s even more uncomfortable is that as the head of the production department, he will definitely bear the brunt of it!
Sure enough, the thing he was most worried about happened!
There was a knock on the office door, and the assistant director notified all staff in the production department to attend a meeting.
In the conference room, the director of TV Asahi flew into a rage, pointing at everyone in the production department and yelling:
"A Tianxia man!"
"A Tianxia person actually came here with a TV series! He silenced the entire Japanese TV industry! Is there no one left in Japan? Are you all just here to eat and do nothing? Huh? I'm asking you guys? Why are you so silent?!"
"You should all commit hara-kiri for making such a bad show!"
Yasuda Masahiro lowered his head, and everyone in the production department lowered their heads, allowing the director to insult them.
It's not that they are silent.
It's because they know.
They can't make a show like Unnatural.
Except for these two TV stations.
Kyoto Metropolitan Television, TBS Television, and Metropolitan Television have all lost their voices. All that remains is silence, and only silence!
Johnny's Office.
Nakazawa Qiaolong almost vomited blood.
Fuck!
That bastard Xiaoshan Xibo has succeeded again!
He is really angry!!!
then!
This little bastard Yoshihiro Koyama got to where he is today by poaching people from Johnny & Associates!
He always hoped that Oscar Communications would fail and go bankrupt, and that the bastard Xiaoshan Xibo would lose everything.
But this little bastard Yoshihiro Koyama not only did not lose money, but his business became bigger and bigger, and he was qualified to compete with Johnny's office.
Now, Oscar Communication has made use of Cheng Cheng to develop TV series and has surpassed Johnny's Office.
Zhongze Qiaolong was extremely angry, his heart was bleeding, and he also felt a little aggrieved:
Is it really true that in this world good people don't get good rewards, and bad people don't get bad rewards?
At this moment, he could imagine in his mind the ugly face of that little bastard Xiaoshan Xibo when he was proud!
-
“Hahahahahahahaha!”
Oscar Communication, in the office, Hiroshi Oyama pops a bottle of champagne.
Every employee had a beaming smile on their face.
12.2% viewership rating!
What a wonderful number!
It not only represents the success of the show, but also represents a historic breakthrough in Oscar communication in the industry!
This is not just an ordinary success, this is an epic success!
This means that they no longer have to rely on others, and they have the ability to create stars independently!
Looking at the whole of Neon, this is a unique advantage!
Sato Kenichi boasted:
"It is still the president who has a far-sighted vision. Under the leadership of the president, our Oscar Communication will surely flourish and rise step by step, becoming the top one among all Japanese artist agencies! Create more eye-catching brilliance!"
“Hahahaha!” Xiaoshan Xibo laughed again, and the laughter continued to echo. “Hey, this is mainly due to Cheng Chengjun’s work. Cheng Chengjun has made great contributions! Sato, you must choose a precious gift. I will personally send it to Cheng Chengjun to express my gratitude!”
Sato Kenichi: "Okay!"
"Also contact the media." Xiaoshan Xibo said, "I want to announce our great victory to all media! In the future, we will make more good dramas!"
Sato Kenichi bowed deeply: "Hi!"
Xiaoshan Xibo sneered in his heart:
Humph! Johnny's agency should have been swept into the garbage heap of history long ago! From now on, Japanese artist agencies will be my, Yoshihiro Koyama's, world!
Let me unite with you and bring great changes to Neon!

Online, the Japanese also reacted strongly.
"Wow! The ratings of Unnatural Death are truly astonishing! It has broken the ratings record for the first broadcast of a TV series in recent years!"
"Ahhh, I knew that Cheng Cheng-jun is so powerful! Both his brain and body are perfect creations!"
"I really love Cheng Chengjun, this topic is growing like fire! When I just entered the school today, I heard people discussing "Unnatural", and I immediately joined in! Both boys and girls." "It feels like Cheng Chengjun has reached the pinnacle of the entertainment industry. He is a common treasure for us East Asians! The 12% ratings reflect the advantages of our race!"
"Foshi TV, please kowtow to Cheng Cheng-jun!"
"I just watched it today. After watching it, I felt that it was really good. The plot was super compact. The only drawback was that it was too short!"
"The ratings speak for themselves. The audience has the final say on whether a movie is good or not!"
“The ratings are really impressive!”
On this day, Cheng Cheng shocked Japan!

At the same time, the news also spread back to the country.
Although "Unnatural" is not available in China for the time being, it does not prevent the media from reporting on it.
Especially the fact that Cheng Cheng was killing people in Neon was enough to attract attention.
"You may not know! Cheng Cheng's new drama "Unnatural Death" released in Japan has received great reviews and has attracted collective praise from Japanese people: Only Cheng Cheng can do it so perfectly"
"Tianxia Youth Daily Client News (Tianxia Youth Daily and Tianxia Youth Network Neon Reporter Li Meng) On the evening of July 7rd.
Last night, the Japanese drama "Unnatural" written by Cheng Cheng and starring Japanese actress Miyazaka Tamako premiered under the attention of the public. The first episode swept the entire Japan with its unique charm and triggered an unprecedented word-of-mouth storm.
The drama takes a unique approach, focusing the camera on the little-known forensic autopsy room. Through the daily work and emotional entanglements of anatomist Misumi Mikoto (played by Miyasaka Tamako) and her team members in the "Institute of Unnatural Death (UID)", it deeply reveals how forensic doctors do justice in the name of science in the process of searching for the truth.
After the first episode was broadcast, its compact yet profound plot, reasonable plot development and several ingenious reversal designs attracted the audience's attention like a magnet, making countless Japanese people fall in love with it and express their shock and admiration on social media.
'This is a perfect script that only Cheng Chengjun could write', 'Cheng Chengjun is really great, he observes reality and is committed to making the world a better place, he is a very gentle person', 'This drama has the gentleness and justice attributes that Japanese dramas have lost for a long time.'
There was also a forensic doctor who said that he "felt the long-lost feeling of being respected."
Cheng Cheng's drama not only brought unprecedented attention to the profession of forensic medicine, but also inspired Japanese people to discuss and reflect more on profound issues such as cyber violence, the good and evil of human nature, and professional perseverance.
Today, the ratings of "Unnatural Death" were updated, and the first broadcast reached 12.2%
Cheng Cheng has achieved unprecedented success in Neon, which has never been achieved by any Tianxia director before.
Overnight, Cheng Cheng became the most searched person on many portal websites, which shows how much Japanese people love Cheng Cheng. This also proves once again that excellent cultural works have the power to transcend national boundaries and touch people's hearts.
I hope this Japanese drama will be introduced to China as soon as possible, and I also wish Director Cheng Cheng better results. "
As soon as this report came out, it quickly topped the Weibo hot search list, attracting the attention of domestic netizens.
"My frog brother is awesome!"
"Who among the Japanese can bear this?"
"Frog is really awesome. His creative talent is incredible. He just finished "Wulin Wai Zhuan" and then "Unnatural Death" came out. And it's a Japanese drama! Does he really not have a creative bottleneck?"
"Cheng Cheng: Creative bottleneck? What is that? I've never heard of it."
"Hahahaha, I guess the people of the Peninsula are upset again. Why do you film dramas for the Japanese and not for us? It's not fair!"
"I'm jealous as a country!"
“It’s definitely something that people from the Peninsula can do.”
"The East Asian superstar is now confirmed."
"East Asian superstar? East Asian succubus!"
"Please follow Cheng Cheng's standards when celebrities brag about how popular they are abroad in the future."
"Looking at the plot and twists described in the reports, I feel that the quality of this drama is super high. Ahhhhh, I look forward to the Chinese subtitled version!"
In addition, major domestic stars, directors, and entertainment companies were also shocked.
Did Cheng Cheng really break into the field of Japanese dramas?
He is releasing albums in Peninsula, making TV series in Japan, holding concerts all over the world, and winning awards in Europe. What does Cheng Cheng want to do?
How big are his goals and ambitions?
Is it East Asia?
All of Asia?
Or the whole world?
Does he really want to be a world-class star?
But after the 21st century, are there still Chinese people who can do this?
Even the leaders of the radio and television industry found it incredible.
Most of the popular stars in the entertainment industry have support from higher-ups, be it support in terms of projects, awards, or even resources.
But Cheng Cheng really never received any support from beginning to end. He has reached his current position entirely through his own efforts.
He was like a sapling that grew and died on its own. At first glance, no one noticed him or cared about him. At one point, he almost withered and died. But once people distracted their attention and looked back at him, they found that he had grown taller than everyone else.
This is how the leaders of radio and television feel.
They also don't know what Cheng Cheng's real goal is.
It seems like it's time to find an opportunity to talk to Cheng Cheng.
If Cheng Cheng really wants to look at the world, using the power of the country to help him will achieve twice the result with half the effort.

"This restaurant is really amazing today! The big mixed vegetable is 13 yuan per pound, and the meat and vegetables are the same price. There are silkworm pupae, red sausage, gluten, bean curd, peanuts, quail eggs, cucumbers, lettuce, and kelp. I picked a lot, and after weighing it, it was only 9.3 yuan. Add to that the flat noodles at 8 yuan a bowl, and the whole meal only cost 17.3 yuan. The most important thing is that it tastes good. I ate it alone, so I didn't eat it! To be honest, there is no such affordable place in the capital. It's like doing charity!"
A bald old man was smoking and picking his teeth while talking. He spat out a mouthful of phlegm with food residue and stomped his right foot hard on the ground.
He had a scar on his face, which made him look extremely vicious.
If you were far away, you would think he was talking about murder and arson.
As a result, when we got closer, we started chatting about daily life.
Next to him, a thin man carrying a camera swallowed and complained:
"Brother, it sounds so delicious, why don't you bring me some?"
"I'm not bringing you anything!" The bald guy took a few puffs of his cigarette and put it into the thin guy's mouth. "How can I bring you something so soupy? Bringing you two Jianbingguozi is good enough. I can't bear to eat Jianbingguozi."
The thin man thought to himself: Aren't you reluctant to eat the pancake? You just don't like it.
He didn't mind the cigarettes that the bald man had smoked. He puffed on them and enjoyed it very much.
The bald guy said, "Be patient, Cheng Cheng's audition for this play is almost over. If I make money this time, I will take you out for a feast."
As he was speaking, the bald old man, who had been looking into the distance, suddenly fixed his eyes and said:
"Stop talking nonsense, someone is coming!"
Suddenly, the thin man came to the camera and pushed the lens over.
The bald man asked anxiously, "Who is it? Did you see it clearly?"
The thin man saw the other person's face clearly through the camera and said:
"She was wearing a mask, but I could still vaguely see that it was... Liu Xijun!"
The bald man was surprised and took a breath of cold air:
"What? It's her? Damn! Another big fish!"
Since yesterday, the two of them have been guarding outside the door of Shinhwa Company.
From yesterday till now, all those coming in and out are big stars and famous people!
People like Huang Zongsheng, Li Qihao, Wang Rui, Liu Zhangde... Any of them can shake the entertainment industry if you stomp your feet on them!
Of course, the biggest star is Liu Wei Chi who came yesterday!
That guy is the King of Yingdao!
And Liu Xijun who arrived today is no less impressive!
If Liu Wei-chi is the king who emerged from the golden age of film islands, then Liu Xijun is the most well-known queen in mainland China in the 1980s.
In that era when movie tickets were only a few cents, the box office of one of her movies was already over 100 million. If it were now, the box office would be over 10 billion!
Of course, we can't make such a simple analogy. After all, the box office figures at that time were not as easy to count as they are now. Local governments had their own statistics, and these were all estimates.
However, this is enough to illustrate Liu Xijun's influence.
The bald guy sighed, "Even Liu Xijun is here. For a TV series, Cheng Cheng invited so many big names to audition. This is really a big deal!"
"That's right." The thin guy also sighed, "I'm afraid only Cheng Cheng can do this. These big names can't be hired just by having money, not to mention it's just an audition. Yesterday, a first-line actress left in frustration. It's estimated that she didn't get the role. Their fans are also expressing their regrets online.
The only reasons for risking such uncertainty to audition were Cheng Cheng's fame, the huge cost of the show, and the temptation of going overseas. "
"Yeah." The bald man spat again, lit a cigarette, and said fiercely:
"Fuck, people always say that paparazzi are low-class and vulgar, and they don't treat us as human beings.
But damn, paparazzi also have ideals and values, okay?
Do they think we are willing to follow the bad things of those stars all day long? Let me ask, why don't they learn from Cheng Cheng?
Stars like Cheng Cheng make our blood boil when we secretly take photos of them!"
"That's right!" The thin man also said angrily, "Although we are paparazzi, we also have a heart that wants to integrate into the entertainment industry. If it weren't for us, who would know that such a drama is being prepared? Even the entire entertainment industry is undercurrent surging? If it weren't for us, they would still be writing articles in the office and reporting on "Unnatural Death". But compared to this drama, "Unnatural Death" is nothing, not even as good as a hair!"
The bald guy concluded:
"We paparazzi still have a lot to offer! We are an important part of the entertainment industry ecosystem!"
While the two of them were chatting, Liu Xijun had already walked into the Shenhua Company Building.
The bald guy asked, "Did you take pictures of everything?"
“I filmed them all!”
"Okay! Send it to me. Although we can't become famous in the entertainment industry, we can make our candid news famous in the entertainment industry!"
