Tokyo Literary Godfather

"The Advocacy of Minors" has been broadcast to its fifth episode, and the ratings have always been good.

Although the new episode has new variety show content, it still includes rooftop confessions. Rooftop confessions have become very popular on Japanese campuses recently. They are featured in many club activities or campus festivals on Japanese campuses. Started to follow suit.

The extra link is also a relatively typical prank link in Japanese variety shows. In the eyes of the Japanese, there is no variety show without tricking. Even on the Chinese Internet in later generations, when I see and hear those ridiculous things in the camera, Most of the words and actions come from Neon.

Under the arrangement of the program team, during a campaign speech to select the president of the student union in a middle school, an unknown candidate who did not seem to be a strong candidate for the president of the student union slowly walked onto the stage. Standing on the podium, he first spoke with an unruly expression. His eyes scanned the audience, and then he said coldly: "I am the president of the student union, Miyauchi. The game is over, ordinary people."

"The following is the specific reason why I am the president of the student council. The answer lies in the following three. Try to think about it with your almond-sized brain."

"First, I want to live a fulfilling campus life. Second, I want to create a classy school. Third... I want to dominate all the women in the school."

"Yes, the correct answer is the third."

The audience roared with laughter, but at the same time they were shocked.

"Then it's time to listen to the voices of ordinary people. Let's take a look at the letters in the suggestion box. Question: What are the advantages and disadvantages of becoming the president of the Student Union?"

"The good thing is that ordinary students can appreciate my face as the president, even though I don't remember any of you."

"The disadvantage is that I become afraid of letting go of power. When I think about giving up such power, I become afraid. To be honest, I have become addicted to power."

"Second question: Will the student union president make any changes to the school after taking office?"

"Everyone, don't you think the current school rules are too strict? The use of mobile phones, makeup, and earrings are prohibited on campus. Now that I have become the student council president, I will completely change this."

"First of all, we need to put air purifiers in the student union room; we also put floor heating in the student union room; we put a kitchen bar in the student union room and hire professional chefs. We will definitely make it happen."

"Some time ago, I had a dream where I was confessed to by Kono Aoi and Kudo Minami at the same time. Although it was a dream, I still worry about who I should date. In fact, both sides are fine."

"There's no problem with Arima Guixiang."

"Takahashi Rumi is also fine."

"KIKI is also very good."

"Okay, next, the president will tell you my own love story. On Valentine's Day last year, classmate Azi, whom I had a crush on but never revealed my feelings to, called me to the gymnasium. Right there , A took out the chocolate from his backpack, handed it to me, and said to me: Can you please pass this to someone else? Yes, A is not giving me chocolate, but asking me to pass it on. From that moment From day one, I made an oath to dominate all the women in the school. Even the teachers are no exception, thank you all."

The camera turned on the female teacher at the scene and the principal covering his face. The principal was naturally notified in advance and knew the truth, but he cooperated and reacted in a program-like manner.

The boy also stepped down amidst the laughter and applause of the students in the audience. It was obvious that this man was introverted. It was the first time he did such a thing, and he was also under some psychological pressure. He also practiced countless times before the official shooting. .

Seeing that the atmosphere was almost heightened, the program team appeared: "Excuse me, students, we are the program team of NHK's "Minor Advocacy"..."

The content of this issue is very compact, and there are many exciting scenes. The program team has also extended the broadcast time of this issue, about ten minutes longer than usual.

As soon as the scene turned, it seemed that we were on the familiar rooftop again, but the style of the TV screen suddenly changed. It was no longer the usual sunny scene, but cloudy, making people feel cold and depressed.

At this time, a figure suddenly appeared, stepping on the rooftop floor and making a dull sound. The camera zoomed out, and the whole person appeared in the camera lens - it was none other than Arima Katsura, or Yuko Moriguchi played by Arima Katsura.

Yuko Moriguchi stood in front of the rooftop, looking at the empty playground, and said slowly: "I once had a deeply beloved fiancé and a lovely daughter, but they both left me."

That's right, this is an inserted advertisement for the movie "Confession". In order not to be blunt and to make it more acceptable to the audience, Kei Fujiwara shot a special trailer to be played exclusively on "Underage Advocacy".

It just so happens that the theme of "Confessions on the Rooftop" complements the title of the movie "Confessions" without seeming out of place.

Kei Fujiwara also filmed a clip of Watanabe, played by Sai Ma, giving a speech in the school auditorium, and plans to broadcast it in the next issue of "Underage Advocacy".

Fukuyama Television also arranged an appropriate period of time to promote the movie "Confession". With the promotion offensive through various media channels, and with the addition of Fujiwara Kei's fame, the movie did become popular before it was broadcast. In particular, the theme of the movie touches on a hidden and painful problem that has always existed in Japanese society but cannot be completely eradicated - the problem of juvenile delinquency.

Japanese society has always had a low crime rate. Even after the economic bubble burst and the crime rate increased significantly, the crime rate is still among the lowest in the world. Of course, this may also be related to their high suicide rate but low popularity of autopsies, the legalization of violent gangs and the pornographic industry, and the semi-legalization of the gambling industry (the gambling industry is not legal in Japan, but small steel ball shops are all over the streets). Since the law By stipulating that certain behaviors are not criminal, it is natural that the crime rate will decrease accordingly.

But even if the above reasons are taken into consideration, Japan is still a relatively safe country.

But there will also be some shocking incidents, such as the arson case last year, or the juvenile home invasion incident that happened many years ago.

A juvenile criminal broke into someone else's house, killed the mother and daughter who lived at home, and insulted the bodies. When the male owner returned home, he only saw the bodies of his wife and daughter who had been tortured to the point of horror.

Such a heinous crime should logically be punished with the death penalty. But because of the Juvenile Law, this person could not be executed. Even the prison term can be appropriately negotiated. In order to reflect their political views of "abolition of death, cautious punishment, and protection of vulnerable groups," a group of so-called human rights lawyers formed a luxurious team of lawyers to defend this person.

This case angered the Japanese people, who were waiting to see how Japan's rule of law could protect such heinous villains. At the beginning, the court did not issue a death sentence, but let the man live in a juvenile prison. Not only because of the minors, but also because the Japanese judiciary is almost monopolized by the abolitionists, many people call Japan a country that actually abolishes the death penalty.

The family members of the deceased refused to obey the verdict, and the prosecutor in charge of the case also said: If the law cannot punish this kind of devil, lynching is also a method. The family of the deceased finally went through nine years of long appeals before finally getting the death sentence.

There are many juvenile delinquent cases of this kind, such as the "Cement Murder Case" and "Rose Drunkard Case", etc. There are corresponding cases in this world. Although Japan's "Juvenile Law" has been revised after vicious cases one after another, no matter how revised it is, the punishment for these juvenile delinquents has always been lighter than normal standards.

So when the trailer of "Confession" indicated that the film was about a story related to juvenile delinquency, many viewers expressed their high expectations and charm for the film. This is also the charm of Socialism.

The theaters were keenly aware of the audience's attitude, so they increased the film's scheduled schedule.

As one of the investors of the film, Spring and Autumn Society also specially produced a promotional coloring page for the film in the Spring and Autumn magazine, focusing its promotion on another socialist mystery work by Kei Fujiwara.

Although socialist reasoning is now in full swing and belongs to the general trend, in terms of market response, socialist works are still divided into two categories, one is the works of Kei Fujiwara, and the other is other works. After "White Night Walk" and "The Devotion of Suspect X" became popular one after another, some well-known writers also launched their own socialist works, but they were completely unable to compare with the socialist works released by Kei Fujiwara before.

Some of Kei Fujiwara's loyal (fanatic) fans no longer even classify some of Kei Fujiwara's novels as [socialist school] or [biange school], and have directly created a new category [Fujiwara school]. It can be described as extremely arrogant.

In addition, Kei Fujiwara's latest work "Gambling Apocalypse" seems to have vaguely opened up a new type of reasoning, which makes Kei Fujiwara's readers and fans even more excited.

The novel "The Apocalypse of Gambling" set a new record during its serialization period, that is, the record of online discussion. The survey results from the magazine's return survey showed that many new readers who bought the magazine did so because they came across information about "Gambling Apocalypse" by browsing the web and wanted to see what it was like.

Of course, people from this record publishing house don’t seem to care particularly much, mainly because the Internet is not yet very popular.

But Itagaki Kazuhiko paid attention because he was keenly aware that in the past two years, the number of households purchasing computers in Japanese society has greatly increased, and many financial magazines have begun to state that computers will lead a new technological revolution and economic wave. Even a new thing that has never been heard of, such as Internet cafes, has appeared overseas. Recently, it seems that Japan will follow suit. Maybe it will be as common as libraries and other places in the future.

Although Fujiwara Kei and Chunqiu Society did not promote "Gambling Revelations" as a mystery novel at the beginning, they could not stop readers from reading it as a mystery novel. In fact, "Gambling Apocalypse" is indeed similar to a detective story to a certain extent. The protagonist battles wits and courage at the gambling table with other gambling tables, and the process of dealing with detectives and criminals is very similar. But the gambling story has written a lot of freshness in this process, which also makes readers very excited.

Although it is not the first time that gambling novels have appeared, there seems to be no climate before. And most gambling novels are written about existing gambling games.

In the stories of cards, mahjong, bridge, etc., the two gambling sides compete with each other in a battle of wits and courage, but readers and audiences simply cannot be interested because they do not understand the rules of the game. This is why many gambling-themed works have not become popular. reason.

However, the first game of "Gambling Apocalypse" is an original game, and the rules of the game are exquisitely designed, which can not only give the protagonist and other gamblers room to use their talents, but also allow readers to easily understand the rules of the game .

Therefore, after the first chapter of "Gambling Apocalypse" was published, it received great attention. "Spring and Autumn Literature Appreciation" has been stagnant for half a year, but its sales have improved again.

On the forum, many people began to analyze the story and gambling game of "Gambling Apocalypse". Some people even wrote a long analysis article to break down the game theory and psychological knowledge involved in this work. And tell everyone, if you are caught on the wheel of fortune because of huge debts, and participate in this "rock-paper-scissors" card fight, what should you do to win a big victory.

Readers are analyzing this work in forums and clubs, making "Apocalypse of Gambling" already extremely popular before it is officially published. Of course, this is also related to Kei Fujiwara's own reputation. It is related to the early bonus of the book.

And after Kei Fujiwara became the patriarch of the [Social School], he seems to have opened up a new genre [Game School], and this word began to appear frequently in the mouths of some reasoning enthusiasts. This was unexpected by Keito Fujiwara, because there was no such genre before he came to this world, and he did not have the idea of ​​establishing a new school again when he wrote this work.

But unintentionally planting willows and willows, the reputation of [Game School] has gradually become louder. According to industry analysts, after the publication of this novel, a new genre of mystery novels will become popular again in the mystery literature.

Compared with a few years ago, there are indeed many more genres in the mystery fiction literary world. In addition to the original school, the change school, and the social school, there are also the court school, the tough guy school, etc. It seems that one more game school is not too much many.

The popular serialization of "Gambling Apocalypse" has once again expanded the number of readers and fan base of Kei Fujiwara. At the same time, it has also strengthened the audience base of the movie "Confession".

With the help of production companies, TV stations, spring and autumn magazines, as well as Kei Fujiwara's own fame and fans of the actor, the film "Confessions" has been fully promoted in the early stage, and it has not yet been officially screened, so it has a huge momentum. Many people have become very curious and interested in this movie and want to go to the cinema to find out.

However, such a huge momentum inevitably makes some people think that this movie may "the higher it is praised, the harder it falls." After all, "White Night Journey" is also a work of Fujiwara Kei. Although it was not directed by him, After all, he is the author of the original work, so maybe this movie will repeat the same mistakes as before?

I don’t know how to keep a low profile. Really, I am still young and impetuous...
