Furthermore, there is a need for shows that are scalable so that the performance is not so much affected by the budget, which means, with a big budget, it can be created as a gorgeous show, and with a low budget, it can be as a reasonably fascinating show.\u201d Another trend spotted by Nakasone is for shows that use new technology in the basic structure of the game. \u201cClients are always looking for something that no one has ever seen before, and providing them with such shows can be said [to be] our duty as a group of creators.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>TV Asahi has partnered with a number of international companies, including Banijay (<em>Trick House<\/em>, <em>Beat the Champions<\/em>), Warner Bros. International Television Production (<em>Ranking the Stars<\/em>) and Red Arrow Studios International (<em>Crazy Elevator<\/em>). It signed a deal with Craig Plestis\u2019 Smart Dog Media in January to produce <em>Red Light Green Light<\/em>, which is currently being worked on for broadcast in the U.S.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cTV Asahi is well known in Japan as a powerhouse of entertainment shows and has many young in-house creators,\u201d Nakasone says. \u201cWe also prepare enough late-night time slots to broadcast pilot versions of their innovative and fresh shows, and have a system in place to change the time slot from late night to prime time to make the show more popular if it shows signs of being a hit.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAs the eyes of the world turn to Asia, we believe that our environment that can foster excellent in-house creators is why our partners around the world find us valuable.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Miyuki Nakasone, sales executive for formats at TV Asahi, on the global success of content originating in Asia and the trend of studio-based game shows.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":350,"featured_media":8323,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"pmpro_default_level":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[68,69],"tags":[2292,648],"class_list":["post-8322","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","","category-profiles","category-top-stories","tag-miyuki-nakasone","tag-tv-asahi","pmpro-has-access"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v21.7 -
