Chapter 9: The Daughter of the Sea

The next day, Rin Chihara got up early, washed his face and brushed his teeth, cleaned himself up, and then put on the only suit, and went out in good spirits, but as soon as the breeze blew outside, he shivered.

It has rained continuously for the past two days, and Tokyo has cooled down a lot, and it finally looks like winter.

He tightened his tie to keep him warm, thinking about buying a trench coat when he had money, and then ran to the station.

It's only seven o'clock in the morning, although it's still early to the agreed time, but the traffic situation in a city like Tokyo is very bad in the morning, so it's better to start early, after all, punctuality is also a kind of trustworthiness, and credit is often built up over time, and it should not be ignored.

He turned out of the path where his apartment was located, stepped onto the only shopping street in the old town, and walked on the slightly slippery bluestone road to the station.

Not far ahead, there were three young girls in dark blue sailor suits, presumably on their way to school, chattering with each other, and occasionally playing with each other, in a carefree and joyful manner.

Rin Chihara was in a good mood at this time, and he couldn't help but smile when he saw this scene - a long white streamer, a sailor's open collar, a dark blue long skirt hanging down to the middle of the calf, and thick bubble socks and small black leather shoes underneath, basically no skin, very conservative.

It's a pity, I can't see the short skirt JK in ninety-four years, it seems that the school uniform is also constantly cyclically developing, there was a retro tide at the end of the eighties, girls take long skirts as beauty, all of them lengthen skirts, school uniform skirts are almost to the top of the feet, and then the trend has changed, year by year shorter, it will probably be completely reversed in the past few years, the aesthetic trend has begun to take short skirts as the beauty again, and girls have begun to desperately change the skirt to wear knee socks, and the absolute field is not finished.

If you want to see the short skirt JK, you have to wait at least seven or eight years, is it true that different eras have different aesthetics?

This point should be paid attention to in the future, and you can't always look at 94 and 95 from the perspective of 2019, although it is only more than 20 years away, but I am afraid that there will be big problems if you do that......

The 2019 film was broadcast in 1995, and if it is not easy to change it, the blockbuster film may also be a big hit, right? Fortunately, the first film chose "Wonderful Things of the World", and the first time this film appeared was in the 90s.

Rin Chihara was staring at the three female high school students in long skirts who fell into a divergent state of thinking, and coldly heard a sharp child's voice, "Come on, people, Keita has fallen into the river, help!

The three female high school students in front of them were fighting, and they immediately ran to a small alley after being stunned, and Chihara Rin couldn't help but follow - everyone has compassion, and suddenly heard someone calling for help, especially children, it's hard to ignore it, this is the pure benevolence in people's hearts, even if the murderous gangsters have it.

The Tokyo area is the mouth of many rivers, and more than a dozen canals have been built artificially, and the water transportation network is dense, and there is a river not far from this shopping street, which seems to be a tributary of the Megawa River.

Rin Chihara followed the three high school girls through a short alley, and when they reached another path, they saw a rocky beach and a river directly.

It was early in the morning, and the path by the shallows was not the main road, and there were almost no pedestrians, only two old ladies standing anxiously on the shallows, and a little boy holding two school bags crying and explaining: "Keita said he could jump on the biggest rock......"

Chihara Rin was running and observing the situation, and found that there were several large and small reefs exposed on the surface of the river, and Keitana probably wanted to step on a few small reefs and jump back on the largest reef to show bravery or something - the ghost knows what the bear child thought, anyway, he was now holding on to the corner of the reef and soaking in the water, and he was so washed away by the river that he could let go at any time, his face was blue and full of horror, and he couldn't even cry.

The three high school girls were running ahead of him, and they were about to cross the road and rush to the shallows, when one of them, the shawl-haired one, threw his schoolbag into his companion's arms as he ran, and shouted, "Holy Son, Fog Yarn, I'll save him!"

Rin Chihara breathed a sigh of relief, and his hand that was taking off his suit jacket stopped-he was a northerner, and he was very average in water, and he was not sure about going into the water to save people, if this female high school student didn't take the initiative to ask for help, he would have to jump into the river.

But at this time, a piercing wind sounded, and a round-faced girl wearing overalls, full of fishy smell, and tied with a ponytail rode a bicycle all the way to sparks and lightning rushed past him, instantly overtaking the three female high school students, breaking through the bushes and slipping directly on the shallows, and then ignoring the bicycle, getting up is a running fish jumping into the river, the action is as fast as lightning, and the splash is terrifying.

When she came out again, she had already dived across half of the river, strangled the bear child's neck directly from behind, and shouted indiscriminately: "Don't move, I'll drag you ashore!" Ah, don't move, I'm the daughter of the sea, and I swear in the name of the dragon god that I will never let you drown!"

The three high school girls also rushed to the water's edge at this time, and began to cheer for the "daughter of the sea", and Chihara Rin slowed down his pace and stopped on the shallows, feeling that nothing was wrong with him, but he just lifted the bicycle up, found that the chain had fallen off, squatted down and buckled it again, and turned the pedal to press it for her - there were two big fish with scales and chopped heads tied to the back seat of the car, and the ponytail round-faced girl seemed to be a delivery worker.

No wonder he has a strong fishy smell on his body, but he is a good person.

At this time, more and more people arrived, and a patrol officer on a bicycle also came, and there was chaos on the shoal, and the bear child was fished up and it was estimated that it would be a good fight, and Chihara Rin looked at it for a while, and turned around and walked back to the station.

Okay, nothing big happened, I really don't understand the thinking logic of the bear child.

You go to school, what river do you jump halfway through?

It's really a mess, this kind of fight has to be beaten, until it's honest!

......

Rin Chihara didn't care about the little episodes on the way, and arrived at Tokyo Broadcasting TEB at 8:12, waiting for Iori Murakami not far from the door, and by the way, took a good look at the place where he was going to work.

The headquarters of Tokyo Broadcasting TEB is a building complex, the building is a little old, it is not high, only 19 floors, but the roof is a variety of antennas, there are round pots and minarets, and it seems that this building is particularly high-spirited.

In front of the main building is a large courtyard with an entrance and exit guarded by security guards without a gate, and it is wide enough to allow for the entry and exit of heavy trucks.

In addition to the main building, from the outside, you can see two nine-story annex buildings, the roofs of which also have various antennas, and the courtyard is enclosed by these three buildings.

There should be a lot of buildings in the back, such as studios, parking lots, etc., but from the gate, you can only see so much.

This is one of the four major civilian TV stations in this world!

But seriously, Rin Chihara, a parallel world traveler, can't figure out which one of the original worlds Tokyo Broadcasting TEB is like this Minfang.

In his original world, the industry likes to joke that "there are only five TV stations". Of course, this joke is a bit exaggerated, but in a sense, it is not wrong - there are indeed only five major TV stations.

NHK, a parody of the BBC, claims to have no political stance and is absolutely fair, but it's hard to say in practice, anyway, the budget is reviewed by Congress, but this company's operating expenses mainly come from ratings, and it is true that it generally does not accept any other form of funding - according to the provisions of the "Broadcasting Act", as long as it can receive a signal from NHK, it is obliged to pay money to ensure that it operates independently and is not controlled by the government or capital.

Moreover, this is the only television station that is legally allowed to broadcast nationwide, and this TV station also broadcasts the "news broadcast" of this book.

In addition to NHK, which has a slight central S nature, the rest is a commercial TV station, which is commonly known as the people's broadcast, and there are four in total: NNS, ANN, JNN, and FNN.

Theoretically, the signal range of these television stations can only be limited to a certain area, so as not to influence national public opinion, but by gathering local stations to join, they can basically achieve nationwide broadcasting, which is called the people's broadcasting network.

For example, Zhongjing Television, Tokai Television, Nagoya Television, Chubu Yumoto Broadcasting and other television stations are all in the Guanzhong area, but they each hugged a thigh and received programs from the four large civilian television stations, and to a certain extent, they were also managed by the four large civilian television stations, which were regarded as part of the four private broadcasting networks.

Of course, there are also TV stations that do not join, and there are also those that organize their own regional broadcasting networks, but they are all small in scale, all of them are small operations, and they are much more enthusiastic about TV shopping than producing programs - with TV Tokyo as the core, they have formed a small broadcasting network, but they have not been able to achieve nationwide broadcasting, and they have only maintained in the Kanto region.

Finally, the most characteristic point is that these four large civilian television stations are all controlled by newspapers or hold a large amount of share capital.

In other words, in this book, the TV station is the younger brother of the newspaper, which is very rare in the world.

For example, TV is an affiliate of the Yomiuri Shimbun, Toshi JNN is an affiliate of the Mainichi Shimbun, Fuji TV is a member of the Fuji Sankei Group, and TV Asahi was founded by the Asahi Shimbun.

Therefore, in addition to NHK, the TV station of Yuben does not grab the news much, and it is often reported in the newspaper first, and the TV station digs deeply, so as not to affect the sales of the newspaper - the country with the highest newspaper subscription rate in the world is not to say that everyone loves to read newspapers, but only to read newspapers to get the latest news.

It's a bit of a reversal of history, but that's the reality.

Therefore, the commercial TV station is also more inclined to entertainment broadcast content, so that the production bureau system has emerged - they have fewer news programs, more entertainment time, and more programs that need to be produced, so they can reduce costs as much as possible.

Chihara Rin was looking at it, and judged in his heart that Tokyo Broadcasting TEB was more like a private release in the original world from the legal broadcasting area, but he hesitated between Toshi JNN and Yumoto TV, and then Murakami Iori arrived and greeted him from afar: "I'm sorry, Chihara-san, I've kept you waiting." ”

Rin Chihara greeted him and returned with a smile: "No, Miss Murakami, it's me who came early." ”

It's time to sign up!
