Chapter 408: The previous efforts are worth it

There are no state-level official television stations, and there are only six or seven local official television stations, which do not account for much of the more than 120 local television stations in the city, and their coverage is relatively small, and their functions are relatively simple, so they hardly play any propaganda role.

This is required by the "Broadcasting Law" to prevent the government from being able to influence public opinion at will, but as a government, it also has a need for video propaganda, so it has to turn to NHK and the five major people's releases to hold a broadcasting meeting to discuss - once a year, usually at the end of November or early December, that is, before the election season.

The main characters are usually NHK, which theoretically represents the right of all the people to know, such as the introduction of candidate information and candidate debates, etc., which are all broadcast by this TV station, and the government will pay them "election broadcast delivery money" to subsidize their labor, equipment depreciation and other expenses.

However, sometimes it is not so simple for the government to have needs, such as sometimes it is necessary to promote overseas for the sake of international image, or if it wants to reduce the number of birthrates, encourage more children, and then improve the cultural literacy of the people.

Of course, this part of the government is also paid, and it will be distributed in the form of subsidies, and "Ogie Queen" has taken it, which is equivalent to the government hiring a commercial TV station to do odd jobs.

In the past, Rin Chihara naturally didn't have to participate in this kind of meeting, and it was not his turn to participate if he wanted to participate at that time, but now, he must attend - the government must not interfere with the operation of TV stations, which is stipulated by law, but the government also has the right to refuse a commercial organization to attend official press conferences and other activities, and it also has the right to review the broadcast license, which has the ability to disgust people.

If you don't go, you can't do it, he took a large group of people and horses, and rushed to Chiyoda District.

The meeting was held at the Prime Minister's Mansion in Chiyoda Ward, nominally under the responsibility of the Chief Cabinet Secretariat, but in fact it was run by the subordinate Public Relations Strategy Operations Division, and Hitomi Konoe cautiously followed the lead car into the Prime Minister's Residence, and immediately began to look around—she had to follow her as a driver, mainly to get some back to brag about it.

I've been to the Prime Minister's house, how majestic this is!

However, when she took a closer look, she was immediately disappointed and complained: "Does the prime minister live in such a shabby place?"

An ordinary compound, a small five-story building, the base color is white, but the years are too long, and it is a little gray, and it suddenly looks a little miserable - if she didn't know that the pilot car would definitely not go wrong, she thought that she had run to a township-level public hospital.

This is different from what she imagined, not to mention the splendor, it should be modernized, right?

Rin Chihara ignored her, closed her eyes and recuperated, but it was Nishijima Ru's beautiful heart that explained to her: "Hitomi, the prime minister doesn't live here, this is just an official place of the Central Government Office." ”

Konoe Hitomi was stunned for a moment, and said strangely, "Doesn't he live in the official residence?

"In the past, the Central Government Office was used as the residence of the Minister of Imperial Affairs, but although it was later relocated and rebuilt, the common name of the official residence was retained. ”

"Ah, is that so? Where does the Prime Minister live?"

Rumi Nishijima smiled and pointed at her: "Next door, it's called the Prime Minister's Mansion, also called the Prime Minister's Residence." ”

Konoe Hitomi looked to the side, and it was really much more magnificent than this official hall, but unfortunately it was close, and she was not qualified to run in and shake it. Her dream of visiting the Prime Minister's house was shattered in an instant, and when the car was parked, she followed Rin Chihara with a sigh - it was really unlucky that she would not come if she knew that this would happen.

But she quickly cheered up, and felt that it would be good to be able to enter and exit the Prime Minister's official residence, after all, 99% of people should not have the opportunity to walk in and see, right?

Now I, Hitomi, am also a big man who can enter and exit the core area of this government, so I can say so!

Anyway, as long as you use the Spring and Autumn brushwork, this cowhide can still blow!

She followed closely behind Rin Chihara, and the fox was fake and mighty, so she almost walked sideways, and she just walked out of a domineering style, and Murakami Iori glanced at her quite approvingly - that's right, it's this momentum, but you can't weaken your momentum in front of Sakurajima, Tokyo Broadcasting TEB and others.

It was also the first time for Rin Chihara to be here, and he walked around with great interest as he walked around accompanied by the staff.

The interior decoration is also based on white, which is probably the reason why white is considered more noble in the tradition, but it looks as dilapidated as the outside, and I don't know if it is also a feudal tradition of "being an official and not repairing the government".

Or is it that every prime minister knows that he will not be able to work for long, so he is too lazy to decorate his office, and as a result, it accumulates year after year and becomes this ruined?

Quite possibly!

He grew his knowledge all the way, and was soon led into a large conference room by the staff, and sat down at the conference table under the instructions of the staff, with only Murakami and Nishijima around him, and the rest of the attendants sat in the auditorium around the venue, waiting for the call at any time.

The group of them arrived neither early nor late, and there were already quite a few people in the conference room. When Rin Chihara sat down, he looked left and right, and suddenly ushered in a scrutinizing gaze, many of which seemed quite dissatisfied.

Chihara Rin is a little strange, although everyone is a competitor, but it's not a personal feud such as taking a wife and killing a child, everyone should still talk about some demeanor in front of me, right?

Is there such a lack of cities?

Strange is strange, but he doesn't care.

Someone nodded to him, he smiled and nodded in return, and someone had a bad attitude, but he still smiled and didn't care. The other party doesn't talk about demeanor, he still has to talk about it, everyone's battle is on the battlefield of ratings, not at the conference table - it doesn't involve his bottom line, he is still very talkative.

He behaved very well and seemed very atmospheric and cultivated, but he soon found that those people were also very indifferent to the staff of the official hall, as if he was holding his breath, and he couldn't help but feel more strange, and asked Murakami Iori in a low voice, "What's going on with those people?"

Iori Murakami didn't know much either, but it was Rumi Nishijima who noticed it and explained softly: "It's because of the order, they feel slighted, as if we used to sit next to the door." ”

Rin Chihara was surprised, took a closer look, and found that there were only four TV stations at present, that is, only Kanto Union, Sakurajima, Tokyo Broadcasting TEB, and Asahagi. The people with a bad attitude are only from the ordinary staff of Tokyo Broadcasting TEB and Asatsuki, but the expressions of the Sakurajima people who clashed not long ago are okay.

The top left of the conference table is empty, which should be reserved for NHK, and the top right is Sakurajima. These few people sat in the second place on the left, and the empty position opposite should be Mount Fuji, and further down is Tokyo Broadcasting TEB, opposite is Asahagi TV, which is closest to the door, and it is the most convenient to get out.

So you were thinking about this?

Chihara Rin couldn't help laughing, saying that he was super concerned about rankings, and at the moment it was obvious that the government felt that the Kanto United was stronger than Tokyo Broadcasting TEB and Asahagi in terms of influence, and even a little stronger than Mt. Fuji TV, so it was no wonder that they felt despised and were psychologically unbalanced for a while.

This is being overtaken by the latter, and seeing that the Kwantung United is ranked third in the eyes of the government, I am not happy!

He laughed out loud there, and immediately provoked a lot of people to look over, and the people who were already a little dissatisfied with Tokyo Broadcasting TEB and Asahagi were even more dissatisfied, thinking that he was proud - Asahagi is okay to say that he has no money in the past two years, so he is struggling, and his momentum has plummeted, and he is in the process of pretending to be a dead dog, but Tokyo Broadcasting TEB is different, and he feels that even if the Kanto United has trembled a little in the past six months, he should not list himself under them.

Rin Chihara still didn't care, but began to appreciate the incompetent and furious expressions of these people with interest, and after Murakami Iori understood, his face did not move, and his posture was still elegant, and he was quite relieved in his heart - the people who sent TEB to the meeting in Tokyo Broadcasting were the people who supported the snatching of "Shiqi" at the beginning, and now they look at her with a complicated gaze, but there is no trace of contempt in it.

This is very good, she would rather others hate her and scold her, than want others to despise her, and work hard every day, busy every day, and strive for success, isn't it just for now?

At this moment, she feels that her previous efforts are worthwhile!

…………

Tokyo Broadcasting TEB and Asahagi didn't last long, and soon people from Mt. Fuji and NHK also arrived, and the broadcast talks began in earnest.

First of all, the Central Government Office asked the major commercial television stations to maintain an objective and fair stance in next year's House of Representatives election, not to produce biased programs to attack a candidate, and to wait until the election is over.

The people attending the meeting naturally have no opinion, anyway, the Central Government Office can't control them, whether the program is biased or not is not the final say of the Central Government Department, now I promise you hello, I'm good everyone, and I still have to do my own thing when I turn around - the Central Government Office also understands this, but I still have to ask for it.

Anyway, if it's over, they won't be responsible, and they won't blame the TV station for making trouble.

Secondly, the Central Government announced next year's subsidy standards and program production orientation, hoping that major TV stations will make certain positive guidance and cooperation in the production of programs and assume social responsibility.

For example, now that the economy is in a downturn, the unemployment rate is extremely high, the suicide rate has also increased greatly, and a large number of homeless people have also been produced, I hope that the TV station can produce more enthusiastic, inspirational, and personal struggle and entrepreneurship programs, so as to boost the confidence of the people, and do not let the people die if they can't think about it, and they will go into self-exile, not to mention the loss of labor, and cause trouble to the government.

Crime is also rising, with the number of non-violent crimes such as petty theft increasing by 32 percent from last year and 53 percent from the year before. In this regard, it is also hoped that all television stations will fulfill their social responsibilities and include more anti-crime episodes in their programs, as well as the remorse of criminals after they are arrested, so that the public can understand the consequences of petty crimes and not leave anything to chance.

Everyone cares a lot about this aspect of the content, if the produced program meets the requirements, the government will subsidize it, which is equivalent to someone helping to share the production costs, although it is not much evenly distributed to each program, but no matter how small the mosquito is, it is meat, and it is always good to take more - in addition to NHK, they eat national food, and the annual budget is extremely sufficient, and there is a huge amount of 300 billion this year, and the valuation of the Kanto United is not short of money.

However, NHK's budget of 300 billion is not all spent on producing programs. For example, he also has the task of assisting in disaster relief and has branches all over the country, and it is necessary to make subtitle early warning reminders before natural disasters occur, and specific images will be broadcast within ten minutes of natural disasters, so that the people can understand the details, which is very money-burning - Kanto United will also make subtitle reminders in the program, but the information comes from NHK, free of charge.

Of course, they also burn money to produce programs, and they will spend 100 million yen to produce a show "Watch TV and Learn Malay" with an audience rating of only 0.01%, and they will also spend a lot of personnel and budget to produce "sign language programs" for the deaf and mute to watch.

NHK's mission is to serve the public, and anyway, eat the national food, regardless of the cost.

And summoning so many people for a meeting naturally can't be the only thing. When the kind attitude of the central government is over, it will be time to say bad things - the government can't stand the scolding all the time, and the prime minister is not very happy, and it is always good to have less.

The Central Government Office has made a long list, saying that these programs are a bit problematic, or biased, or suspected of being insulting to personality, or reducing the public's trust in the prime minister and the cabinet, and the impact is very bad, hoping that the TV stations can make a certain degree of concession, and NHK accounts for nine, Tokyo Broadcasting TEB and Kanto United each account for two, Sakurajima and Mt. Fuji each have one, and Asuksu does not.

This is probably a political censorship of the book, but it is not an official-based society, most officials are not feared, even if the head of the General Office of the Central Committee is changed, NHK will not buy it if he takes the lead, and he will not pay attention to it at all, Sakurajima and other stations have a similar attitude, don't mention the rectification, let's discuss where there is a problem with these programs.

Seriously, TV stations are more afraid of non-governmental organizations such as the Ethics Committee, which represent the will of the people and the audience's intentions, and with the "Broadcasting Law" as the backing, they are not very afraid of the government at all.

This matter is also related to the Kanto Union, but there is no need for Chihara Rin to make a move, it is the turn of the Kanto Union, and Murakami Iori will take his followers and the staff of the Central Government Office to argue with reason, from morality to law, and at most make slight concessions in irrelevant places, if you want to completely rectify or cancel the show, don't even think about it.

Rin Chihara watched the excitement on the side, and felt very interesting, only occasionally mentioning a few sentences, but I felt quite happy - this is good for making a TV show in this book, as long as you don't go crazy, the government has to discuss with you, and finally seek a compromise.

He just watched the excitement for a long time, and finally coped with this year's broadcast meeting, except for getting the standard of this year's government subsidies, there was basically nothing to gain - the Central Government Office also had nothing to gain, begging the TV station to rectify the program, but with little effect.

I've heard that this was the case in previous years, and it's normal.

Rin Chihara got up and was about to go back, and the next time he came back would be next year, but immediately a staff member rushed to his side and said politely, "Chihara-sensei, do you have time? If you don't mind, Chief Cabinet Secretary Furuya wants to have a cup of coffee with you." ”
