Tokyo Literary Godfather

The debate in this issue of "Tiezui Heroes" lasted surprisingly long.

The two sides were going back and forth, almost spitting on each other's face, and neither one was willing to admit defeat. Because the issue itself is extremely controversial.

What is the nature of law? Countless people in the legal community have discussed this issue, but there is still no definite answer. Just like the trolley problem, it is destined to not find an answer that can convince everyone.

As the host, one of Dr. Imai's responsibilities is to control the duration of the program. So after an hour, he wanted to end the debate between the two parties, but the director backstage gave him a signal to continue.

Helpless, Dr. Imai had no choice but to continue watching the two parties' verbal battle, and even took a ten-minute break in the middle. The director came forward very excitedly, "Everyone, what you said is so wonderful. Please keep this fighting spirit for a while. I think it must be You must be hungry already, the director team has prepared some hot dogs for everyone, please continue after eating!"

In the end, the debate lasted for more than two hours, and finally allowed the audience to vote. In the end, the red side, which believed that the law represented justice, won.

Imai actually felt that Bai Fang performed better today, but he couldn't help it. The audience had more or less preconceived notions. Maybe the conclusion that the law has nothing to do with good and evil could not be accepted from the bottom of their hearts. So my heart still favors the red side’s argument. If the law cannot represent justice, then what is the purpose of the law?

The final broadcast version of the program became an extended version of more than one hour. After the broadcast of this program, it also attracted a lot of attention, and a few days later, "Victory is Justice" was broadcast again.

The ratings of this episode of "Victory and Justice" began to rise again and slowly climbed back.

At the same time, Kei Fujiwara also actively asked Miyata Takara and Kono Aoi to participate in various programs, showing their faces in front of the audience a lot. During the broadcast of TV dramas, exposure is very important, and it is not only the ratings that determine the ratings of the drama series The quality of the TV series itself.

In the original world, the ratings of the first part of "Victory is Justice" are far lower than that of "Naoki Hansawa" (but it is already good), mainly because the lead actor Masato Sakai has not yet appeared in "Naoki Hansawa", and he does not yet have Such high popularity.

Later, after "Naoki Hansawa" received super high ratings, the second part of "Justice Is Victory" saw super high growth in ratings. However, in fairness, the quality of the second series is not as good as the first one. The main line of defending the murder of the "devil head" is not strong enough, and the role of the Arabian prince also seems a bit twisted in the play.

In this world, whether it is Miyata Takara or Kono Aoi, one has just starred in "Naoki Hansawa" and became a national-level actor, and the other starred in "Life is Beautiful" and became a super idol. Both of them are at the peak of popularity. Moreover, the combination of powerful and idol groups is also very interesting. This is why the ratings can be kept high.

There are two reasons that may affect the ratings. One is the style of the show itself. The exaggerated actions and lines, and the comic-style plot and interpretation made some viewers feel unable to adapt.

The "professional drama + exaggerated comedy" format of "Victory is Justice" is extremely novel in this era and has never been seen before.

Especially some viewers, who are fans of "Naoki Hansawa", saw Kei Fujiwara and Takara Miyata, thought it was another TV series in the style of "Naoki Hansawa", and turned on the TV excitedly, only to find that it was originally The unsmiling Hanze-kun suddenly turned into a dirty lawyer drooling over women's career lines, and his brows suddenly knitted into a knot.

Why did Banze-kun suddenly become like this, so he didn't want to see it anymore.

And this is one of the reasons why the ratings dropped after the first episode was broadcast.

But there are people who hate this style, and there are bound to be people who like it. After all, Japanese people are almost all of the generation who grew up watching comics, so it is impossible for them to be unfamiliar with this style of painting. Especially young people are very interested in this kind of light-hearted, humorous and non-educating plot.

Young people have a deconstructive nature, an instinct to subvert tradition, and a yearning for novelty. The youth group itself is the best soil for the development of new art forms.

So when some viewers lost interest in "Justice Is Victory", another group of viewers came here admiringly, wanting to see this unscrupulous lawyer who is different from the protagonist of traditional legal dramas.

Gu Meimen's research and introduction of some concepts that seem to be inconsistent with the current mainstream have also been recognized by young people.

[Values] is also the second reason why some audiences abandon dramas. It is different from traditional legal dramas and professional dramas. "Justice is Victory" To some extent, it does not follow the traditional routine of justice must win.

Especially in the first episode, the heroine unintentionally helped the suspected murderer escape legal sanctions, and Gu Meimen always helped some parties who were not so popular with the audience to win, which also displeased some audiences.

However, no work can be accepted and liked by everyone, and no matter how successful a literary work is, it can only make some audiences become their loyal fans.

And because of its unique style, this drama quickly became famous among young people, so that the ratings soared again. And there are a lot of offline discussions about this show.

Especially Hosei University, as the first private law school in Japanese history, is the cradle for cultivating judicial elites.

And the students of this university have a very high evaluation of the drama "Victory is Justice" and love it very much. Of course, this also has something to do with [Analytical Positivism] being the mainstream thought of this university.

Students will watch each new episode carefully, and then have a group discussion in the discussion class the next day. Professors will find cases that correspond to the real world in this episode, and will also lead students to conduct mock courts. The case was re-argued.

If you were an attorney in this case, how would you help your client defend?

And on the forum, there are unexpectedly many discussions about this drama. The popularity and ratings of this drama are not as good as "Hansawa Naoki", but surprisingly, it has a higher degree of discussion on the Internet platform.

Especially after the broadcast of "The Iron Mouth Heroes Club", discussions began on the Internet about this debate and the drama "Victory is Justice" itself, with many netizens actively expressing their opinions.

"I am a lawyer. Let me express my views on "Victory is Justice"! First of all, this is a good drama and very interesting. Although the creators have designed many funny scenes and lines, many of the cases in it are not realistic in reality. There are examples in all of them. For example, [Sunshine Misappropriation Case], my God, during the years when Tokyo was undergoing major construction projects, I came into contact with such cases two or three times a year!"

"I also feel this way. Teacher Fujiwara is really an amazing person. Whether it is a bank drama or a legal drama, he can produce high-quality works."

"This drama seems very frivolous, but in fact the theme is profound. The male and female protagonists actually represent two main schools in the legal world, the [natural law school] who believe that the law represents justice and the [analytical positivist school of law] who believe that the law has nothing to do with justice. ]. These two genres are quarreling in the academic world, haha, it is very similar to the relationship between Gu Meimen and Xiaodai, I hope the two will be together in the end."

"What Dai Machiko needs is a mature, steady, good man (me), not a low-brow like Gu Meimen!"

"By the way, what happened between Gu Meimen and Miki? Why does Miki hate Gu Meimen so much?"

"Although it's not clear, it should be something that Miki finds unforgivable. It doesn't matter. It will be revealed in the last episode."
