Chapter 151 A good screenwriter with a sense of social responsibility
As the popularity of "Unnatural Death" increased, the position of drama critics also began to change. Suddenly more people praised it as a good drama on the home entertainment version, and began to analyze the drama in detail for fans of the drama.
This drama is not a simple professional drama, nor is it a simple mystery drama. The focus of this drama is not on how to solve the case, but on how to solve the case, but to present and explain the things that ordinary people in life must do through the investigation of the case.
problems faced.
Reflection on social issues, moral issues and the dark side of human nature is the focus of this drama.
For example, in the first episode, the people are gullible, follow others' opinions, stand on the so-called moral high point, and attack others at will without any sense of responsibility, which reflects a strange and stubborn disease in Japanese society;
For example, in the second episode, the parents of the murdered girl blame each other and shirk educational responsibilities, which is chilling;
For another example, in the third episode, in order to ensure that the conviction rate of criminal cases reaches 99%, the prosecutor's impatience to directly convict the suspect, as well as his contempt and distrust of women, are also thought-provoking;
Another example...
This group of drama critics didn't care too much about how many forensic doctors there are in Japan or how many hidden murderers there are around them, but they did have a certain degree of professionalism. They focused on the drama itself and carefully analyzed "Unnatural Death"
They began to admit that this is a good drama, and also recognized the theme song "Lemon". They believed that playing this theme song during key plots would indeed have a spiritual sublimation effect on the drama.
I started to admire, a genius is a genius, he really has the innate talent to produce such sincere works.
They also want to ride on the popularity, in order to cater to the admiration of readers, but Chihara Rinto no longer cares about them, his ratings have begun to rise. Things that are icing on the cake are never worth paying attention to, so let's go and cool off!
He still pays attention to the social section and news section of the newspaper, where discussions have greater influence, and this sub-trend quickly spread to NHK programs on TV talk shows. The internal relations of this TV station are complicated, and the news department is not good at all.
The TV drama department, regardless of the possibility that this might help "Unnatural Death" increase its ratings, just jumped on it.
They were very generous, and they invited five forensic doctors to be guests at one time. They were all professor-level elites from well-known national and public universities, and they seemed particularly authoritative.
Of course, what is being discussed is not "unnatural death", but the issue of autopsy rates in Japan. This is the current focus of society.
This program was broadcast during prime time in the evening. Chihara Rinto was on the set to catch up on the progress and didn't pay attention. However, Murakami Iori watched it and specially took the video to show him the next day that his condition had improved. She could also congratulate Chihara.
Lin Ren, let him enjoy the pleasure of being praised.
Among these five professors, there was Professor Yoko, the first Japanese forensic doctor whom Chihara Rinto had ever met. This man still dared to say anything. After a little guidance from the host, he was not polite and told Chihara Rinto what he had said before.
The words he said were spoken directly to the national audience: "Yes, this issue really needs attention. Ninety percent of suicide cases in Japan may be homicides!"
He had wanted to shout this all over the street for a long time, but he had never had a channel to speak out. Now he finally said it, and this interview program was conducted with a live audience, which immediately caused an uproar. There were whispers in the audience of nearly a hundred people. The director
He decisively gave a shot of the audience and used the shocked expressions of the audience to enhance the impact of the program.
The host asked with great interest: "Professor Yokoo, do you have any basis for what you say?"
When Professor Yoko opened his mouth, he was about to reveal his big-mouthed nature. However, there were few forensic doctors in Japan and he was very familiar with his colleagues. Everyone knew that he never had nice things to say. Professor Saito beside him was afraid that he would be attacked by public opinion later, so he quickly took over.
After finishing her words, Ruya smiled and said: "This is just a saying in our industry. It may be a bit exaggerated, but it is also consistent with certain realities. Some of the 'inspections' I have handled have this situation."
"Then can you elaborate?"
Professor Saito smiled and said: "Then let me tell you a few of the most impressive things!"
"I once handled the body of a junior high school student. The cause of death was jumping from a building. However, after an autopsy, it was found that he had many old injuries. It was suspected that he had been bullied on campus for a long time. The junior high school student was my neighbor. I gave him tutoring when he was a child.
After doing my homework, I got the impression that he was an enthusiastic and polite child. I didn’t quite believe that he would choose to commit suicide, so I took the liberty of asking his parents to do a simple autopsy.”
"Then how did the police deal with it?"
"The classification is still suicide, because even if he commits suicide after being bullied, this is the decision made by the suicidal person himself. Those children who often bullied him were only punished by school discipline and then transferred to another school."
"If there was no autopsy, there wouldn't even be this punishment, right?"
"Yes, if we don't pursue the truth and let the bullies take responsibility, then this kind of thing will never end and there will be more and more victims."
The audience slowly became quiet and listened attentively. Many people began to look serious. Professor Saito continued: "Another thing that impressed me deeply was in June last year. At that time, we received
One body was donated. It was an old man in his seventies. This old man also committed suicide, but the way he committed suicide was very strange. He wrapped a towel around his neck, hung it diagonally on the bedside, and slowly suffocated to death with his weight. Death
The process was very painful, and his fingernails were all dug into the flesh. I was surprised at the time that this method of suicide could be stopped at any time, but the old man persisted until he completely lost consciousness..."
"This aroused my curiosity. Although the case has been closed as suicide, I asked a police friend to do additional investigation and found out that there was another hidden story."
The venue became even quieter. Saito did not need the host to ask, and said directly: "The poor old man's income has dropped significantly after retirement, and his health has become worse and worse. His son and daughter-in-law have always regarded him as a burden. For a long time,
He refused to communicate with him and ignored him at home. According to the diary obtained later, he had been considering suicide for a full year, and finally he did take the initiative to pass away. His suicide note was left in the diary without any complaints.
Just one sentence, thank you for your care over the years."
"Then the final determination of the case..."
"It was still suicide, but I think it was a kind of 'spiritual homicide'. If I hadn't done the autopsy and became curious, no one would ever know about the 'spiritual homicide'."
The audience at the show became even more silent, but Saito taught slowly and slowly, and talked about several autopsies that left a deep impression on him. He also left a suicide note saying, "I am going to follow my mother to another world."
A fifth-grade elementary school child seemed to have committed suicide, but after an autopsy, it was found that he was actually suffocated to death by his mother's own hands. There were also couples who made plans to commit suicide. The person who suggested it actually had malicious intentions. He was not dead, but his boyfriend was.
In short, there are all kinds of strange things. Things that suddenly seemed ordinary suddenly become intriguing after an autopsy. Just listening to them makes people feel chilly.
Then several professors of forensic medicine, that is, forensic doctors, took turns telling some strange things they had encountered since they started practicing, and they even discussed among themselves. Although they did not say it explicitly, they clearly supported Professor Yoko's "In Japan, 90% of suicides occur."
The argument that it was a homicide" made the host of the show couldn't help but sigh: "This was discovered after examination by professors, and the autopsy rate in our country is less than 10%, so I'm afraid there will be more undiscovered! Autopsy, this is true
It is a big social problem, and behind the autopsy, there may be more social problems hidden. If we cannot even achieve a high autopsy rate, these problems will not be investigated."
After he finished speaking, not only did the five professors nod their heads together, but the nearly one hundred viewers at the show also began to nod their heads in recognition of this sentence. The show was almost coming to an end at this time, and the host bowed to the five professors in turn.
: "Thank you to the five teachers who are willing to tell the truth and make the people aware of all this. Thank you very much!"
The four professors returned the gift together, but Professor Yoko said directly: "No need to thank us, we have been shouting for more than ten years, and no one listens to what we say. If you want to thank, just thank the Chihara-san who made the TV series."
After a pause, he added: "It's the Chihara-san who filmed "Unnatural Death". Although he made a mess in filming the TV series and even found a little girl to play the forensic doctor, he was a good person and he said what we wanted to say.
Having said it all, if the issue of autopsy rates can really be solved, he should be the one to thank the most."
Professor Saito also nodded and said: "Yes, Chihara-san is a good screenwriter with a sense of social responsibility. I saw someone in the newspaper accusing him of grandstanding, but I want to say that I hope there are more people like him who are grandstanding.
There is a lack of such people in Japanese society now!”
Another professor in his sixties couldn't help but nod in agreement: "He is indeed an outstanding young man. He has visited me three times in order to understand the true situation of forensic medicine. He is a rare thoughtful person in the entertainment industry.
."
"He also came to see me and put two actors to study with me. This is a young man who takes his work very seriously."
The youngest of these five professors are all in their fifties, and they are universally respected scholars. The script has no control over them at all. They can say whatever they want, and they are telling the truth: the situation of forensic medicine in Japan is not bad.
It's been a day or two, and these forensic scientists can't find a way to complain. Now Qianhara Rin is willing to speak for them. Seeing that they will receive special attention and all conditions will be improved to a certain extent, they naturally appreciate Qianhara Rin.
People don't mind reciprocating favors at all and praise him well.
They hope that Rinto Chihara will have a stronger voice, that "Unnatural Death" will be discussed more enthusiastically, and that it would be best if it could be filmed for fifteen seasons. Even if it is a bit out of touch with reality, it doesn't matter if a little girl plays a forensic doctor.
Increase your efforts, don’t stop, don’t stop!
The show stopped praising Chihara Rinto. Murakami Iori pressed the remote control to turn off the TV, turned to smile at Chihara Rinto and said: "Qianhara, congratulations, everyone understands what you mean, you succeeded.
Yes, you have successfully done a great thing."
She really thinks so. She really feels that if "Unnatural Death" can promote the increase in autopsy rates, it can be regarded as a great thing. She feels very gratified, has a sense of accomplishment, and is very satisfied with participating in the production of such a program.
I think this is what I should pursue in the workplace.
Chihara Rinto doesn't care about this. Although these people are very excited now, in fact, nothing can be changed. This trend has passed, and Japan is still the same.
He was concerned about the ratings and asked directly: "What are the ratings of this show?"
Murakami Iori was stunned and said with a smile: "The response to this program was very good. The highest ratings seemed to be around 30%. I can't remember the details."
Chihara Rinto fell silent, a little speechless.
My own TV series has a rating of 20+, while the popular news program has a rating of 30+. I haven’t gained any benefit from the social repercussions, but others have benefited first. This really makes people don’t know what to say!
I don’t know if the ratings of episode 7 can be greatly improved...
