Tokyo: The evil god doesn't want to be the top star

Chapter 350 Continue Broadcasting

Without the "miracle" and being completely banned by the authorities, the Amabie faith organization naturally could not continue to recruit believers.

But if the original believers want to return to normal life, they need years of psychological treatment, just like the anti-MLM brainwashing education.

"Speaking of which, the studio building has been sealed off, and all the staff members who were recording the show are hospitalized for observation. What should we do with the "Idol Birth Festival"? "

"With all this going on, the show should be over, right?"

It was not until then that Xia Fan remembered to care about the program he participated in.

"The studio building will reopen after all traces have been cleaned up. The program staff, trainees and mentors will be able to return to their normal lives and work after an observation period of about two weeks."

"During this period, in order to conceal the truth and facilitate the ending, the ninth lesson has taken over the follow-up work of the program. The information team is working overtime to produce the film, and at the same time assist in maintaining the normal operation of the subsequent support activities on the official website..."

"By the way, Agent Aiba handled this mission well and has signed a lifetime confidentiality agreement. She has been upgraded from an 'outsourced employee' to a formal agent with access to 'supernatural confidentiality level'. She has volunteered to take over the work of the program team."

Aoi Jinguji shook her head to deny it and told the details.

"According to the current plan, in order to whitewash the situation and downplay the situation, the last episode of the "Idol Birth Festival" will be broadcast on the normal schedule as much as possible. And you, Xia Jun, will have to prepare to record the final "group formation results announcement" in two weeks."

"Huh? Still need to record?"

Seemingly satisfied with Xia Fan's dull expression, she revealed a sly smile in the moonlight.

……

The next day, J Society Building.

"President, NHK TV said that the Metropolitan Police Department rejected our application to assist in the on-site cleanup."

The handsome and well-built male assistant was waiting respectfully at the desk and reporting.

"Refused……"

Matsudaira Johnny, who was lying in the boss chair with his back to him, murmured.

"So, have you contacted the production staff, the participating trainees from various companies, and the mentors?"

He asked absentmindedly, gazing at the night view outside the floor-to-ceiling window.

"No, it's been almost 24 hours since the accident, and I haven't been able to contact any of the production staff, mentors, trainees, or audience members."

"The police are keeping it very tight this time. The media has tried every possible means, including sneaking into the scene to film or using their connections to find out, but all have failed. There is no definite news yet."

"The police said that all the people involved are safe and sound, but they are in the confidentiality period of the investigation and the treatment observation period and cannot contact the outside world. The police will hold a press conference tomorrow and the people involved will also appear."

Hearing his tone, the male assistant held his breath and spoke carefully.

Everyone knows that the calmer Matsudaira Johnny's tone is, the worse his mood is.

“If you dare to let those people show up at the press conference, then their personal safety should not be a problem.”

"So, what does the Metropolitan Police Department say about the follow-up broadcast of the "Idol Birth Festival"? "

Matsudaira Jenny turned around, holding a string of bone Buddhist beads in his hand.

"The Metropolitan Police Department has requested that the program continue to be broadcast..."

"However, they said that the live video footage was top secret, so the post-editing of the final episode of the "Idol Birth Festival" was done by a 'professional team' they hired."

"Also, in order to facilitate the subsequent investigation of the case and to prevent any more black fans from causing trouble, their 'professional team' will also supervise the operation of the entire program in the final stage." When this matter was mentioned, the male assistant's face turned pale and he reported angrily.

Considering that the program team was in the "observation period" and had lost contact with the group, J Company urgently formed the "Idol Birth Festival Temporary Production Committee" to ensure the normal production and broadcast of the last episode of the program.

However, when the temporary production committee applied to the Metropolitan Police Department for access to the live video footage, they received a red-letter document stating that the program had been taken over...

Looking at the history of variety shows in the entire entertainment industry, there has probably never been such a ridiculous incident where an entire program was taken over by an official agency due to a "case investigation."

This resulted in the temporary production committee not knowing whether to argue their case or disband on the spot.

"President, the copyright of the "Idol Birth Festival" belongs to us. The Metropolitan Police Department took away our rights with the words 'to facilitate investigation'. It's really too much..."

"I understand. Just fully cooperate with the official investigation. You can go down now."

"But... I know..."

Before the assistant could finish his words, Matsudaira Johnny calmly waved his hand, signaling him to leave.

"By the way, regarding the voting for the idol birth festival, contact the other companies and ask them to be prepared to 'fire unconditionally' and to prevent Xia Fan from making the debut."

"Okay, I'll do it right away."

The assistant retreated to the office door, then he remembered something and gave an order.

It is a good thing that the "Idol Birth Festival" can continue to be broadcast.

After all, the companies behind the "Idol Birth Festival" have invested a lot of money in publicity and production costs. They are unwilling to watch the money slip through their fingers when they encounter a "recording accident" during the "debut voting window" with the strongest money-making ability...

What's more, as the program's ratings continue to rise, the program has added a number of advertising sponsors and cooperative paid video platforms.

If the last episode is not broadcast, the penalty for breach of contract and legal fees alone will be an astronomical figure, and there will be one less "nine-member limited group" that could have been a cash cow.

But a program whose content is out of control is like a derailed train with no idea where it will go.

Therefore, the "track" must be laid in advance.

"What happened at the recording site... Was it really just a simple case of haters releasing gas at the recording site?"

"The intensity of the police investigation, the level of confidentiality and the follow-up measures were a bit excessive."

"From the beginning to the end, it was like they were desperately trying to cover up something."

After the assistant left in disgrace, Matsudaira Johnny fell into deep thought alone.

18 hours after the "recording accident" occurred, the location involved was blocked, all the parties involved were in "isolation and treatment" and lost contact, and no photos of the scene or inside information were leaked...

The police's "overreaction" does not look like they are dealing with a serious group crime at all. He even believed that they were investigating the assassination of the head of state.

"Zizzizi..."

Just when Jenny Matsudaira was puzzled, the high-definition retina screen of the laptop on his desk suddenly flashed with the unique snowflakes of old-fashioned televisions.

"Take a look, take a look..."

"The Hyakumonogatari... has begun..."

A hoarse voice came from the computer speakers.
