Japans Medienunternehmen kämpfen im Streaming-Zeitalter, da eine TV-Lizenz nicht mehr ausreicht, um Geld zu verdienen. Die Gehälter für Talente sind niedriger, als den Leuten bewusst ist – „Derzeit ist es nicht ungewöhnlich, dass Schauspieler auf dem fünften oder sechsten Platz in Fernsehdramen weniger als 100.000 Yen im Monat verdienen.“

Hm. Are they going to try and pull the same sort of shit that the UK are trying to do to YouTube with the BBC etc al?
Have they considered basically building the TV as a proper online service, with a reasonable subscription, and then make it globally available to the entire planet of humans, with subtitles and dubbing where possible? Maybe with less turning, and fewer close-ups of food being masticated by arbitrary „talents“, more cool stuff would be nice.
Kind of like a streaming service, I suppose, but live telly and shit.
Disclaimer: I don’t watch the telly.
wow, establishment got some competition and is freaking out. just make good content, gramps.
I mean those dramas are pretty much mass produced trash with those „actors“ being cast for being known personalities or some idols, rather than professionals.
Too many geezers in positions of power who had a nice couple of decades reaping a lot with minimal effort. Seems to have finally caught up to them with a dwindling target demographic (the elderly) and the youth who couldn’t give a crap about what they put out.
Expect them to try absolutely nothing new and keep on as usual.
Their salaries are that low, but I wonder how much is being eaten up/ charged by the “talent agencies” and the “management companies”.
Japanese media has limited intl appeal. So that means the Japaneseaudience has a wide selection of choices domestic and foreign while the media companies make domestic-focused content.
The obvious parallel is Korea. K-drama aren’t intrinsically good. The K govt made the spreading of their culture a priority, to their credit. Long-held Japanese thinking is that we don’t need overseas consumers of media. I think it’s about time that that thinking be questioned.
How much can one expect if your job is shouting at food while wearing silly clothes.
Oh man guess you gotta adapt or die then. woops too bad so sad.
Japenese should learn from nordic & western eutrope countries
Sounds like a skill issue.
I know what would solve this. Ads. More ads! Ads disguised as shows between ads.
That’s not too bad considering I’ve never seen a Japanese TV actor that can act for shit.
rest of the world: first time?
