The next day, the average time-sharing ratings of the autumn episode of "Japan is the World's No. 1" dropped from 27.88% to 13.11%. However, the entire ratings curve was very strange. It can even be said that there has never been such a strange program ratings curve in the history of Japanese broadcasting.
The program once exceeded the 30% rating level in the first thirty minutes. The situation was not a small success, but a great success. But then some viewers discovered the emergency news album broadcast by Kanto United, and it was spread to ten, ten, and ten in a very short time.
It spread to hundreds of thousands, causing a large number of viewers to change channels. The ratings of the autumn episode of "Japan is the World's No. 1" plummeted, once falling below 10% - Kanto United's broadcast was too sudden, waiting for Sakura
When the review department of Island TV realized that it was time to replace the ads, it was already too late and they only cut off the last subtitles. Otherwise, there might not even be a ratings report for the autumn episode of "Japan is the World's No. 1".
However, these no longer matter. Although academic fraud is not uncommon in Japan, it is limited to the academic circle and has almost nothing to do with ordinary people's lives. This is the first time that most viewers across the country have witnessed academic fraud with their own eyes.
Everyone was dumbfounded - Sakurajima TV was broadcasting the "glory moment" when Shigeta Nao unearthed the Paleolithic tools millions of years ago. At the same time, Kanto United broadcast how these Paleolithic tools were buried. If you use the remote control
Looking back and forth, it's not an ordinary joy.
It's a pity that not many people in Japan have a sense of humor. The vast majority of the audience felt that they were deceived by this show and Shigeta Nao, and they were made to be super fools for a month and a half.
Government departments in Hokkaido, Miyagi Prefecture and other places are also a little dumbfounded. Are the ruins fake? But what should I do if they have already started construction?
The Ministry of Culture, Education, Science and Technology is even more embarrassed. The new textbooks have been revised and handed over for printing. The history of Japan has returned to more than 30,000 years ago?
Do you want to change it back? Wouldn't it look stupid?
The incident escalated quickly. Japanese society attaches great importance to the issue of integrity and regards integrity as the pillar of social order. The consequences of fraud have always been extremely serious, ranging from imported eels pretending to be domestic eels to singers lip-synching.
, we will always pursue it to the end - the eel incident, after the president publicly apologized, he was still listed as a rejected client by all banks, and finally had no choice but to file for bankruptcy, and the lip-synching singers and divas were all boycotted by the public without exception, so they could only
Retreat sadly.
Whether it is academic fraud or blatant academic fraud, it is naturally extremely serious in nature. In addition, the so-called "national pride" has collapsed, and the shame and anger of being deceived. In less than twelve hours, there is already a voice across Japan that must be severely punished.
, and when someone discovered that the news from the United States, Britain, the Netherlands and other countries also reported this incident, they became even more furious - mainly overseas news reported it as a joke. The Japanese people read the translation circulated on the Internet and were so ashamed that they were almost ashamed.
The anger naturally increased tenfold.
When the time came that afternoon, the Tokyo Ancient Culture Research Association officially announced the disqualification of Shigeta Naomi as vice president, and the Department of Culture under the Ministry of Culture, Education, Science and Technology also announced the establishment of an investigation committee to conduct a comprehensive investigation of Shigeta Naomi and requested a police investigation.
This involves not only academic fraud, but also issues such as the unaccounted whereabouts of a large amount of funds and the smuggling of illegal cultural relics.
However, the Metropolitan Police Department failed to arrest Nao Shigeta. He was rushed to a mental hospital last night because of his crazy behavior. He can only be monitored and treated for the time being.
After such a shocking scandal, all parties are trying to respond, and Sakurajima TV is naturally an exception. After a heated discussion in the board of directors, a public apology meeting was held.
It won't work if you don't open it. This is an era when a TV station will be considered a broadcast accident if it broadcasts one minute late. However, Shigeta is still known to the people all over the country, thanks to their program. Now there is a lot of doubt from the outside world——
Is Sakurajima TV doing this on purpose, or is it just stupid?
Intentional sin is of course a heinous crime, but even simple stupidity is unforgivable. Now the whole world is laughing at Japan, and they must bear at least half of the responsibility!
Anyway, regardless of whether Sakurajima TV was deceived or not, this is definitely a serious broadcast accident. As the producer of the program, Maeda Toshihito had to publicly apologize to more than 300 reporters, saying that he had not fulfilled his responsibilities.
The program was produced without carefully verifying Nao Shigeta's background, which caused extremely bad effects, and I feel very regretful.
His expression was very calm, he seemed quite graceful and strong, and his attitude of admitting his mistakes was sincere, but the people were still dissatisfied. Nao Shigeta was mentally ill, and there was no way to drag him out of the mental hospital and beat him. Now he is left with
If Sakurajima TV has a responsible guy, how about simply throwing in a special agent as a scapegoat?
How is that possible!
The various government agencies are not satisfied either. The main reason is that they have also been deceived. It seems that the government is incompetent and stupid. They must try their best to pass the blame. Then Sakurajima TV can only be blamed. It is impossible to accept Sakurajima TV's understatement.
I got away with it - many officials or congressmen hinted explicitly or implicitly that I was fooled because I trusted Sakurajima TV too much. I think they are Shigeta Nao's accomplices!
A vigorous boycott movement was launched on the Internet, with more than 50,000 signatures in just 24 hours. Many newspapers also agreed that Sakurajima TV lacked a sense of responsibility and had no sincerity in apologizing.
When things developed on the third day, Sakurajima TV could no longer withstand the pressure. The main reason was that the board of directors could not unify their opinions. Some people held a tough attitude, while others wanted to wait and see. However, advertisers and franchise stations collectively demanded that public opinion be calmed down quickly.
, stop losses as soon as possible, and cannot let public opinion ferment anymore.
Soon, Sakurajima TV held another press conference to conduct an in-depth review. An executive deputy director came forward to apologize for the second time, announcing that Maeda Toshihito would be fired and would never be hired. At the same time, many people from "Japan is the Best in the World" were punished.
Staff, and the two major, three minor and five programs that Maeda Toshihito was previously responsible for have also been completely suspended for rectification. We will tell when they will resume broadcasting.
At this point, Sakurajima TV barely managed to escape, but the discussion on the "Shigeta Nao fraud incident" has not stopped. Countless hindsight has jumped out, either in talk shows or in newspaper columns, starting from various sources.
Analyze why Nao Shigeta, a scum of the world, has been able to get away with it for more than ten years and has taken so much money from the government, but no one has come to expose it.
Some people think that the problem is caused by the system and the government, and that the prime minister is also responsible. However, there have been sixteen prime ministers in the past ten years. It is not clear which prime minister should be responsible.
Some people think that it is the cause of the economic recession. Since the bursting of the bubble economy, not only has the income of Japanese people dropped significantly, but their wealth has shrunk severely. They are seeing Japan withdraw from the ranks of powerful countries, and their self-confidence has also been lost. There is an urgent need for national pride to resist.
I don’t want to doubt my future confusion from the bottom of my heart, so I was taken advantage of by scum like Shigeta Nao.
Some people take it for granted and think that this is a kind of fraud. Japan is already rich in all kinds of fraudsters. It is normal for Shigeta Shang to appear. They just lament that Shigeta Shang can make Japanese archaeologists miserable. In the future, archaeologists
Its reputation is basically bad.
…………
The outside world was talking a lot, and it felt like all kinds of monsters and monsters were coming out. Qianhara Rinto didn't pay much attention to these things. He broke the news, but he couldn't care about what others said. He still stayed in the office and was busy with his work, but Leng Buding's office
The door was pushed halfway open, revealing half of Konoe Hitomi's head, but the door was immediately closed again, followed by a knock.
Chihara Rinto raised his head and took a look. He was very lucky that he had a decent style. Otherwise, with a disciple like Hitomi Konoe, he would not be able to get a female secretary in the office.
Of course, this matter is also his fault. He was the one who ordered Hitomi Konoe to go do the work and come back directly to report back after the work was done. Otherwise, the secretary would have stopped her and rushed in before it was her turn to push the door open.
He said angrily: "Why are you knocking? Come in!"
Only then did Hitomi Konoe come in honestly and report: "Master, the letter has been delivered. He said he will do what you asked for."
As expected, Qianyuan Rinto nodded: "I understand, it was done well, go ahead and do your work!"
Hitomi Konoe refused to leave. It was strange that she was sent by Chihara Rinto to deliver a letter to Maeda Torihito. When she thought about it, Maeda Torihito should have hated Chihara Rinto so much that he refused to meet him or tore up the letter on the spot.
It was normal to crush her, but to her surprise, Maeda Torihito entertained her well, and he did not get angry after reading the letter. Instead, after a long silence, he asked her to send the message back.
She was really curious and asked with great interest: "Master, what is written in the letter?"
Chihara Rinto didn't hide anything from her, and said directly: "Invite him to work at Kanto United, but he needs to go to Yoshizaki himself and get his understanding."
Hitomi Konoe was shocked: "You want him to work in our TV station?"
"Yes, I admire him very much. Now that he has been fired from Sakurajima, I invited him to give him a try."
"But...but how could he agree?"
Chihara Rinto smiled and said: "Why didn't he agree? He needs a job. Sakurajima can't use him anymore. Tokyo Broadcasting Teb, Fujiyama and Asagi are also unlikely to use a producer who was trained by Sakurajima and made big mistakes.
No one but me can give him a second chance. What's more, I promised him that his position and treatment will be the same as in Sakurajima, so no one else can give him a second chance."
He really admires people like Maeda Toshihito and has the heart to accept him. Even if he did have a big problem while doing the show, it's nothing - Shigeta Nao has deceived the whole of Japan. If he hadn't been influenced by the Internet, how much would he do?
If you know something about this, you would never have thought that a well-known archaeologist could continue to deceive you for so long.
To put it simply, Maeda Toshihito committed a non-war crime. On the contrary, being able to find Shigeta Nao shows that he is a capable producer who is very sensitive to finding good themes.
Hitomi Konoe thought for a while, but still didn't understand, and asked with concern: "Aren't you afraid that he has a grudge and deliberately messed up when he came to our station? He should hate you to death!"
Qianhara Rinto smiled and said: "He may not hate me that much. This is not a personal grudge. Both sides of the competition use their own methods. I believe he can understand. And if he has bad intentions, then his career will be completely ruined.
The loss would be greater, I don’t think he would be so irrational.”
"But there are still risks, right?"
"Yes, but if we want to develop and have more and more advantages in the future, we need to attract as many talents as possible. He is worth the risk we take." Chihara Rinto explained simply, waving his hand a little uncomfortable.
I got impatient and said, "You don't have to worry about this kind of thing, just go to work quickly."
Hitomi Konoe still refused to leave and asked: "I still feel bad. He has a very bad reputation now. The audience thinks he is either stupid or bad. It's useless for you to find him, right?"
Chihara Rinto didn't care at all, "So I asked him to find Yoshizaki. Both of them have bad records. Let's avoid the limelight together and wait until next year to find a way to come back together. Then we can be partners."
This is just a casual chess move, and it is purely a matter of making two shots with or without dates. It doesn't matter whether Maeda Torihito agrees or not, and whether Yoshizaki Shingo forgives or not, it doesn't cost him anyway, but he has nothing to do with the "bad two"
There is still something to look forward to in the future of "People's Group" - Yoshizaki Shingo can't work for a short time, which is really a loss, but if we can get a capable "demoted general", it will be equivalent to making up for it. Overall, maybe
Good deal.
Of course, he will also keep an eye on Maeda Toshihito, and he will check his programs to be more or less defensive.
But he was too lazy to say anything more to Hitomi Konoe. He rolled up the documents in hand and waved to her, "Come here. You want to know so clearly. Get closer and I will explain it to you in detail."
Hitomi Konoe was still a little worried, but she looked at Rinto Chihara cautiously and asked cautiously: "Master, are you trying to hit me again? I just helped you run out half of Tokyo, and it took me a long time to find you.
His family has a very hard life, are you qualified to ask?"
Qianhara Rinto didn't listen, and then waved: "Of course, so come here quickly and I will explain it to you in detail."
Occasionally hitting the head of the second disciple who talked a lot was one of the few pastimes he had at work. He didn't want to give up for a while, but unfortunately God was not kind to him. At this time, Iori Murakami called.
It seemed that there was something serious, so he could only give it up temporarily and answered the phone. Murakami Iori seemed to be busy too, and asked casually: "Qianyuan, several crew members have received invitations to the Academy Awards.
Should I just ask them to reject the letter?"
Qianhara Rinto laughed casually and said: "There is no need to give orders for this kind of thing, just let each crew make their own decisions. We are an enlightened organization that values people's cooking."
Murakami Iori was speechless for a moment on the phone, "Okay, I understand."
She just said this and ended the call. Chihara Rinto rolled up the documents in his hand again, but when he turned around, he found that Konoe Hitomi had also slipped away. He couldn't help but laugh for a moment, and went back to his work.
.
As for the Academy Award, an old and uninteresting award, he had long since ignored it.
