Chapter 321 Buying a TV Station(1/2)
There is a classic line from a famous movie.
Don’t worry about having fun now, you will inevitably make a list in the future!
Ryunosuke Akutagawa once said.
It’s not that I won’t retaliate, the time has not come yet, but when the time comes, I will look up and see who will be spared by heaven!
TV Tokyo used to be very out-of-the-box. During the period when the leader of the Yamamoto team was out on medical parole, the performance of this TV station was really impressive.
There is no moral integrity at all.
Of course, everyone who is familiar with TV Tokyo knows that this TV station has never had much to do with integrity.
Morality is dead, if something happens, paper will be burned.
Back then, TV Tokyo's ratings really soared.
Many TV viewers across Japan are eager to know whether this TV station will reveal the bad history of the famous Yakuza Yamamoto.
Of course...most of them are nonsense.
But, overall, it is indeed very attractive to combine many of the "glorious history" of Yakuza's youth with the Spring and Autumn style of writing in one person, Yamamoto Hiroshi.
Let’s put it this way, in this day and age, the Japanese’s perception of Yakuza is very interesting.
Indeed, when Shan Yi was protesting, everyone felt that these guys were too annoying and affected social security too much.
I felt a little scared in my heart.
But after this period is over, in normal times, many different things about Yakuza will appear again.
Stories, novels, comics, movies and TV series are all very popular.
It's like, in the daily life of a social animal under great pressure, I can finally find something exciting about modern society.
Yes, human beings are not willing to be mediocre in nature, but most people have no choice but to be mediocre.
Yakuza in contemporary Japanese society is like the ripples appearing in a calm lake.
Although calm is beautiful, it is too monotonous.
Moreover, there will be many funny stories about Yakuza.
For example, some interesting anime.
"I Am Big Brother", this comic has just been adapted into animation and is very popular.
Funny, very funny, completely silly and nonsensical.
Therefore, it is only natural for the TV station to make full use of the Yakuza element to gain ratings!
President Shimada, under the power of Bunta Oishi, spoke some truths. In short...
"Dashi Sang, many of the TV programs are just to entertain the public. We just create some content that the public likes to see. As for the ones you mentioned, they are actually included in the entertainment programs. You can watch it again. We
There are records here and they are quite complete.”
I must say that Shimada, the president, is still okay, and what he said makes sense.
Right, those programs we had about Yamamoto Hirokuro's history were actually for entertainment purposes, they were nothing more than jokes and not really news reports.
It's not true.
This fully demonstrates Shimada's professionalism and his flexible thinking.
However, he made a big mistake.
Reason with Yakuza.
Is Yakuza a reasonable person?
Fortunately, Oishi Bunta is no longer so unreasonable.
"Shimada-san." This guy used a standard Yakuza tone, that kind of arrogant and rogue, with a strong aura of threat, "You may have some truth in what you said, but those things broadcast
You’re out, right?”
Shimada's forehead was covered with sweat. He was originally a very gentle guy and wore a pair of rimless glasses, but now there were beads of sweat on the lenses of his glasses.
"But it is an entertainment program after all, it is really entertainment, hehe..."
The smile on his face was very ugly.
Shimada has never suffered such humiliation in his daily life...well, before he became the president, he suffered a lot of humiliation.
But those are all worth it!
Right now...he is really scared. He really doesn't know what these Yakuza can do.
The key is, they didn't care!
Thinking back to the beginning, I just thought that Yakuza is different now from before, and even if it was just for entertainment, it wouldn't be a big deal.
There is another more critical factor.
Other TV stations also produce related programs. We, TV Tokyo, are originally the last ones. How can we attract more viewers?
Of course, something new and unexpected will happen!
Finally, there is one very special factor.
Shimada also considered at the beginning that the ratings of our TV station were not high anyway, and those Yakuza might be busy fighting for power and killing people.
They can't see our program!
The Yakuza are considered to be irregular people, so...
Who can watch TV Tokyo's programs if they are not serious?
In fact, the truth is, no serious person would watch TV Tokyo!
But regardless of whether it's serious or not, TV Tokyo's previous wave was considered a winner.
And now we have to face the consequences, this and this...
Can you get away with the term entertainment?
"Entertainment? Shimada-san, are you so sure?"
"Hey... sure."
"I'll ask you again!"
The aggravation of his tone made Shimada sweat break out on his forehead, and there were more sweat beads on his spectacle lenses.
"that……"
After working on it for a long time, Shimada finally came up with nothing.
But his meaning has been expressed very clearly, and he just doesn't admit it.
As a result, Dashi Wentai didn't say much, he just snapped his fingers.
My younger brother sent me a dozen A4 papers with many words printed on them.
This is actually the case here in Japan.
It’s all fucking katakana, only a ghost can understand it!
This is really the complaint of the Japanese themselves, because things like katakana are not only anti-human, but also the Japanese themselves.
The most common place where katakana is used is actually in the manuals of electrical appliances.
Because this thing itself is mostly used to indicate sounds, and many electrical appliance manuals are originally in English.
To put it simply, the Japanese is translated into English first, and then the English is written in katakana. When writing, most of the time, the English pronunciation used in spoken Japanese is used.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! It can be said that even the Japanese themselves find it difficult to understand a meaning that can be simply expressed in Chinese characters after going through such complicated marinating and flavoring.
but!
Shimada deserves to be the president and an elite. He is proficient in Japanese and English and has access to many such documents.
This is a lawyer’s letter!
Good guy, the TV station was sent a lawyer's letter. It's so scary.
The most terrifying thing in Shimada's heart right now is actually not just the lawyer's letter, but what he is even more afraid of is the current situation.
What's happening here?
Haruki Murakami once said that if a gangster is educated, no one can stop him!
Now these Yakuzas actually know how to use legal weapons!
Moreover, there is a lot of English in the lawyer's letter, which shows that the other party has a lot of background!
Did you hire an overseas law firm?
Or an internationally renowned lawyer?
Is this to avoid Yakuza's bad reputation in Japan?
In short, Shimada couldn't hold it anymore, so he took off his glasses and wiped them carefully.
