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

Chapter 352 Officially Broadcast

"What do you think of this overall plan, both of you..."

Yadao, who was pacing in the middle of the open space, turned around and asked attentively.

"Um, is there something wrong? Please tell me, and I'll ask the designer to change it right away!"

Noticing that the two men had serious expressions and frowned brows, he clasped his hands in front of his chest, turned his feet inward, and twisted his body guiltily.

"No... I think this plan is quite simple and practical, and there is plenty of room in the budget..."

"Jinguji, what do you think?"

Xia Fan looked at Jinguji Aoi inquiringly.

The land transfer fee was originally very cheap, and even if half of it was used to rebuild the "Cat Jizo Hall", the remaining area would still be more spacious than an ordinary single-family house.

The design proposal proposed by Yadao cleverly uses the "Wabi-Sabi style", which is not only cost-effective but also practical and durable.

Although Xia Fan herself is very satisfied, there may be different optimization suggestions from a female perspective.

"I...ask for my opinion? Mr. Xia Fan, you are really bold..."

When asked this question, Jinguji Aoi, who had been thinking quietly and seriously, suddenly lowered her head with red ears.

"Although you don't have a car yet, as for the garage, it's a bit cramped to only have a single parking space. Maybe you can park two cars in the future..."

"There is also room in the cellar that can be expanded. If we have children in the future, there will be a lot of miscellaneous items to store..."

“The backyard doesn’t have to be all landscaping, there can be some space reserved for children’s facilities.”

She turned her back to the two of them, held her hot face, and gave her advice intermittently.

"I understand. This is indeed a design error. It only takes into account the current living needs, and there is not enough reserve for the long term..."

"According to this idea, this place and this place can still be optimized. The romantic and interesting atmosphere of the residence has a lot of room for improvement. The content and location of children's facilities also need to be re-planned..."

"Hey, boss Yadao, have you ever thought of going to some unnecessary places..."

Yadao, who had "suddenly attained enlightenment", ignored Xia Fan's complaints and buried his head in writing on his notebook.

"Jinguji Advisor, Lord Xia Fan..."

Yui Aiba got out of the black business car that was on guard outside the open space.

"The latest episode of "Idol Birth Festival" has been completed and will be officially broadcast on various channels tomorrow."

"Two consultants, do you need to review this?"

Coming closer, she adjusted her glasses, bent down respectfully, and handed over the laptop.

"Audit? No need..."

"Every profession has its own expertise. This time the professional team is of movie-level quality. I believe in their production level."

"The information team only needs to confirm frame by frame, and there is nothing that could possibly leak the case."

Jinguji Aoi still had her hands behind her back and showed no intention of taking it.

"As a trainee participating in the competition, it is even more inappropriate for me to review the films."

Xia Fan waved his hand to avoid suspicion. "Directors, I participated in the entire post-production process and I am very confident in the quality of this episode."

"Well, I'll arrange to send it to NHK TV..."

Aiba Yui lowered her head, bowed obediently and left.

"I'm really looking forward to the audience's reaction after the broadcast."

The moment she turned around and got into the car, her eyebrows curved like crescent moons and a twisted smile appeared at the corners of her mouth.

……

The next afternoon, at the J Company headquarters building.

In the large conference room, men and women in suits sat silently around the long conference table.

"President, NHK TV said that they have received the official source material from the 'program team'."

"We asked NHK for a 'secondary production' and 'pre-screening' process, but they rejected it and said they would just broadcast the original film."

"These guys, when they're having fun in Kabukicho, they don't act like they're doing business..."

The male assistant walked in from outside and bent over to report to Matsudaira Johnny who was sitting at the top with an indignant look.

"There's nothing we can do about it. This investigation involves a very high level of official involvement. When something went wrong with a program hosted by NHK itself, of course they knew how to stand in line."

Matsudaira Jenny was holding the white Buddhist beads in one hand, looking like he had expected this.

If it were any other TV station, he might be able to find a reason to "manipulate" a certain program before the film source was officially broadcast, but the organizer chosen this time happened to be NHK.

Although everyone is used to calling it a TV station, NHK's full name is "Eleven District Broadcasting Association". It was formerly the Tokyo Broadcasting Station, and was later integrated by radio stations in Nagoya, Osaka, and Tokyo.

Unlike ordinary public and private television stations, NHK has a special legal status. It is the only public media that relies on audio-visual fees paid by residents of the region and is independent of commercial capital.

According to the "Broadcasting and Television Law" promulgated by the government, residents in the 11th ward who have a television, or any electronic device such as a computer or mobile phone that can receive NHK television programs are obliged to pay NHK.

Therefore, NHK specially hired a group of "toll collectors" who wear neat suits and visit every household every day, using words such as "citizens' obligations", "legal provisions", and "consequences of violation" to coerce and bribe you. If people are a little thin-skinned and not careful, they will charge them a whole year's "broadcasting fee". This is the most terrifying urban legend.

As the organizer of the "Idol Birth Festival" in NHK's semi-official capacity, with the investigation level of the "recording accident" so high, even if the capital behind it has contributed money, manpower and effort, the senior executives can only "handle the matter impartially" in order to keep their hats.

"Ahem, there's less than an hour left before the latest episode of "Idol Birth Festival" is officially aired."

"Although this time the authorities intervened and took over the production of the program due to an incident at the recording site, no one knows what the official content will be."

Clearing his throat, Matsudaira Jenny looked at the dozen or so men and women around the conference table.

"But everyone present here is a 'professional' in various fields of the company."

"Since the company has assigned you to form a 'temporary production committee', even if the situation is 'out of control of the content', it must be handled properly."

"Wait a moment. After the program is officially broadcast, you will analyze the program content immediately and adjust and optimize the plan formulated in the past two days."

"The company wants to use any means to reduce the impact of 'out-of-control content' from the perspectives of public opinion guidance, topic creation, program promotion, etc. to ensure the final debut ranking."

"Do you understand? Director Ozawa."

He reiterated the next task in an extremely firm tone, and then looked at a bloated middle-aged man beside him.
