Chapter 404: Paleolithic Tools from 800,000 Years Ago
Chihara Rin quickly browsed Maeda Toshihito's information, looked at it, and felt a little bit of love.
This person was born in a famous school, and his resume has been extremely beautiful since kindergarten, but this is not important, the big TV station is not wanted by the elite of famous schools, and the reason why I look up to this person is that this person's ratings over the years have been very good, and he has obviously put a lot of thought into the show, and he is really studying this industry, and he has never been perfunctory. Combined with the results of Shintaro Yasuda's private investigation, it is not okay not to appreciate it - hard work, self-discipline in life, and a good candidate for heavy responsibilities, he wants such subordinates.
He is willing to give such a person a high salary, but unfortunately this person has worked at Sakurajima TV for fifteen or six years, and he is a lifelong employee, so he should have a deep feeling, and he probably won't choose to change jobs.
He couldn't bear to fix this guy for a while, and hesitated for a few seconds, planning to let Shintaro Yasuda change his target, anyway, there are also a lot of producers, directors and screenwriters on Sakurajima TV, and he can always pick out the unlucky guy, but in the end he gave up this plan.
Anyway, it's Yoshizaki who is plotting behind this person's back, even if he wants to show his attitude, he has to fix him, lest he get into trouble again and again, and this person has strong work ability, and the ratings of several programs of the same type in charge are good, and it should be one of the pillars of the Sakurajima Production Bureau, so only by repairing this guy can Sakurajima Production Bureau really feel pain, otherwise it's not interesting to get rid of a cat and a dog casually.
However, this person is really difficult to deal with, he belongs to the type of person who is not afraid of shadow obliqueness, and his feet are crooked, and he is basically invincible......
Forcibly splash him with sewage, this is immoral, there is no discipline, and it is easy to be bitten back; if you don't forcibly splash him with sewage, this person has nothing to hide.
No wonder this person dares to engage in private competition, it is very likely that he has no fear, and he is not afraid even if he is found out.
What should I do?
Rin Chihara also feels a little bit of Sakurajima, Tokyo Broadcasting TEB's previous feelings, and it is really enough to scratch people's heads when they meet such a "saint" in this industry.
He was also a little helpless for a while, and he was unwilling, he looked at the information again and again for a long time, and almost wanted to give up, after all, this is really not easy to start, maybe it should really be a different person to demonstrate, but when he browsed the list of programs that Maeda Toshihito was in charge of recently, he suddenly moved in his heart, thought about it and ordered: "Yasuda-san, don't worry about this matter for the time being, I'll deal with it myself first." ”
"Yes, I understand, if you have something to tell you at any time, I won't bother for now. Shintaro Yasuda agreed very happily and immediately retired. He didn't want to care about these bad things in the first place, that is, the people of Chihara Rin had to tell him all kinds of messy things, and he had to use him as a housekeeper, so he really didn't have a trick.
Shintaro Yasuda went to his job, and Rin Chihara took a closer look at the title of the program called "Stone Diggers ~ Paleolithic Tools 800,000 Years Ago". This is one of the autumn chapters of a veteran and powerful program on Sakurajima TV, "Said to be the World's No. 1", with about six episodes, and is currently only broadcast to the second episode - he knows this show, in his impression, this old show has been alive for seven or eight years, mainly producing celebrity albums that can be "the world's first", from sashimi, Japanese food to entrepreneurs, the ratings have been quite good, and the ratings can basically be more than 20% every season.
However, he didn't care about the form of this program, he stared at the words "Paleolithic tools 800,000 years ago" and recalled carefully, and felt that he should be right, even if the major events of the two worlds are a little different from before and after time, but it should not be so outrageous, it is clear that the archaeological aspect of this stone tool has been abandoned in the 21st century, and the whole book has been combed through, and the paleolithic tools of 30,000 or 40,000 years ago have been found at the earliest, and at the end of the nineties, it should not be possible to dig up something about the same era as the northern ape.
It's supposed to be academic fraud, yes, maybe there is something that can be exploited!
He immediately asked his secretary to retrieve the video of the show and watch it directly in his office.
The show is beautifully produced, the protagonist is a guy known as "Stone Digger Celebrity", "God of Stone Tools", "Hand of God", named Shigeta Shang, who dropped out of college and became a taxi driver, but he likes archaeology, and often goes to the excavation site to work in his spare time, but there is nothing special about it.
But in the early 80s, he successfully excavated 48 paleolithic tools and peeling chips about 30,000 or 40,000 years ago in his hometown of Miyagi Prefecture, and became famous in one fell swoop- Said I am very worshipful of history, but the ancient history has been unclear, the soil acidity of the book is high, it is extremely difficult to form fossils, the remains of bamboo and wood are left even more impossible, generally only through the paleolithic tools to study the ancient history, Shigeta Shang's discovery directly said that the history of human life from more than 10,000 years ago to more than 30,000 years in one fell swoop, is definitely a major discovery in the archaeological history of the book.
And this is not the end, and then Shigeta Sho made persistent efforts and found paleolithic tools in many ruins in Miyagi Prefecture, which in one fell swoop verified the history of human life to 170,000 years ago.
At that time, it was a sensation in the archaeological circle, many people thought that he was a "genius" who excavated paleolithic tools, and he had an extraordinary sensitivity to paleolithic tools, and he was looking forward to his further performance. Hokkaido and several nearby prefectures, wearing the stars and the moon, worked tirelessly, and found three 400,000-year-old paleolithic tools in '91, and a 600,000-year-old paleolithic tool in '93, and then last year, he raised the history of human life to 800,000 years ago in one fell swoop - he found 12 paleolithic tools that were 800,000 years old.
Of course, it's not that no one doubts, it's just that the stone tools of this book are very unpopular, after all, there are basically not many people who can find valuable things before him, not an ordinary niche, and the excavated stone tools have been identified by experts, and no traces of forgery have been found, although he is the only one who is so lucky and suspicious, but this is just speculation, there is no direct evidence, and it is very risky to openly accuse him - It is said that the atmosphere in this academic circle is very old-fashioned, and casually accusing others of scientific research results will generally be understood as personal attacks because of jealousy, and casually treating others as "sinners", and the consequences are extremely serious.
By now, his reputation has become relatively loud, and he is out of the niche circle, probably at this time he was discovered by Maeda Toshihito, who did a half-season program with him as the theme, and planned to introduce him to the national audience, and he wanted to use him to rush the ratings, and Shigeta Shang was also very cooperative with the shooting, and even said that he could enjoy it very much.
When Rin Chihara saw the end of the second episode, Shigeta Nao, who looked quite scholarly, also joked with reporters, saying that the next step was to personally take the audience to establish an excavation site, find ruins, find paleolithic tools, and strive to advance the history of human life to a million years ago, and even strive to find a fossilized skull of a super ape, in order to prove that human beings originated from the book, which is the birthplace of human civilization.
The reporter was also very enthusiastic, sighed again and again, praised his efforts, and prepared to follow him to shoot, so that all the people could witness the historic moment together, and finally called on the Ministry of Science, Culture, Education and Education to speed up the revision of textbooks, so that the students still think that it is incorrect to say that there were only people on the islands of this book 30,000 or 40,000 years ago, and that the history of this book is many, much older than imagined.
It took Rin Chihara nearly two hours to watch the show, and the first feeling was that Maeda Toshihito really had two brushes, and the main direction of the script design was to tease national emotions and make a fuss with national pride, and then add a certain amount of popular science to arouse the audience's curiosity about how long this history is, which is indeed a bit powerful, and it is no wonder that this show can still have such good ratings after so many years.
And the second feeling is that he feels that the story is somewhat familiar. It's not that I'm familiar with Shigeta Sho, he doesn't usually read academic news, and he's not interested in archaeology, so he doesn't have any impression of this person, but this matter seems to be similar in his original world, but he didn't pay much attention to it at the time, after all, he didn't pay attention to archaeology at that time, and now he can't remember it clearly.
However, it should be academic fraud, after all, if you don't mix it with any national pride or anything like that - of course, he can't be mixed with it, that is, if you look at it from a normal point of view, this thing is ridiculous no matter how you look at it, and it is hard for pigs to believe that this kind of strange thing can happen in the era when the Internet is not developed.
If it were placed in an era when there were more netizens than dogs, this person would have been stone-hammered on the Internet and his skull would have been cracked.
At least this is the case in China, but the national character of this country is strange, I believe that some people are born geniuses, it is normal to create miracles, and they are very superstitious about authority, and basically do not have any doubts about respected scholars, and the obedience is not ordinarily high.
In other words, it is probably said that such a strange thing can happen instinctively.
He was really speechless, and he wandered there for a moment before he began to think about what to do with it.
Maeda Toshihito is the producer of the show, and he is mainly responsible for the big problems in the show, but now it doesn't seem to have much weight to expose, and the charges are almost all Shigeta Shang's, and he can't hurt the other party's muscles and bones......
He planned it out there, pressed the intercom, and asked, "Hitomi Konoe is not in Tokyo?" Also, Okano and Ishiwatari from the news department were also called. ”
The big boss ordered, and the action efficiency of the people below naturally doubled, and it just so happened that Konoe Hitomi was in the production bureau to ask for equipment for the crew, and Okano and Ishido came before and after.
Hitomi Konoe doesn't care, she often comes to the master of Chihara Rin to make a small report, but Okano and Ishido are sweating profusely, and they can't tell why the bureau chief suddenly looked for her. They are just two young reporters, even if they make a mistake, it is not the turn of the director of the production bureau to scold him personally, even if a minister or special manager comes out to give face, the producer or the deputy director usually scolds - what's going on, isn't it the previous news that poked out a shocking basket, right?
The first two issues are about the use of drugs in vegetable greenhouses and the pig breeds in pig factories, which also involves no powerful people, right?
Chihara Rin should be the most stringent director in the history of the Kanto United Kingdom, heavy rewards and heavy punishments, and I don't like the traditional "collective responsibility" set of this book, it has always been held accountable to individuals, which really makes them feel empty, and Chihara Rin people don't talk nonsense with them, twist the small TV screen, and let them start watching "The World's First Autumn Chapter", and after a while, he ordered: " This person is an academic fraud, and nine times out of ten the stone tools are buried by himself, so check where he is going to excavate the ruins, and ambush him in advance to take a sneak peek. The guards are in charge of this matter, and the two of you, Okano and Ishito, assist, and be sure to get ironclad evidence. ”
It turned out that there was a task, Okano and Ishido breathed a sigh of relief, and they understood in an instant - just look at the station logo, this show is Sakurajima TV, and the director is going to repair the competitors and hit the other party's ratings.
This kind of thing is normal in the industry, and the Kanto United has not been repaired in the past, and they don't mind at all, and they are even a little excited to participate in this kind of thing - this is a task personally assigned by the director, and it is a good opportunity to make meritorious contributions.
They immediately bowed their heads in unison and said, "Yes, I must get ironclad evidence." ”
Konoe Hitomi was not so easy to speak, stared at the screen for a while, and asked curiously: "Master, I think this person is an expert, he seems to be very powerful, he can't be a liar, right?" And you don't understand archaeology, how do you know that he is cheating?"
Chihara Rin glanced at her with squinted eyes, and explained to her a good way while guarding outsiders, "Let's not talk about why only he can find it, just think about it with your brain, the stone tools hundreds of thousands of years ago are buried deep in the ground, affected by underground water flows, earthquakes, land movements, etc., how can a dozen or dozens of pieces still be neatly arranged on a horizontal plane? ”
Konoe Hitomi looked at some of the excavation videos used in the show, and was stunned: "Eh, it's really a little suspicious when you say that, but even if it's a fake, how do you know that he hasn't been buried yet, what if we go to Bairan?"
She has to ask clearly, otherwise things won't be done well in the future, and it doesn't matter if she gets headshot, but it's not good if she misses the matter of Rin Chihara.
Chihara Rin shook his head directly and said: "It shouldn't be in vain, he is going to dig the ruins, not just to make a hole, the area will not be too small, he can't do it alone, and even if it is a ready-made excavation site, he will not bury it in advance, otherwise he will be discovered by others first, wouldn't he be busy in vain?" More than ninety percent of him will only go to fraud the night before the excavation, so the probability of an accident is the lowest, and it is most beneficial to him, so you should also act quickly, Sakurajima TV is following him to make a program, look at the recording progress, and it is almost this paragraph. ”
Konoe Hitomi has no doubts, she doesn't talk big or small, but she is still reliable, and she also knows why Rin Chihara sent her, probably just staring at the two reporters in the news department, lest they don't pay attention to their work and miss the important opportunity, so she nodded directly and promised: "Don't worry, we'll leave immediately." ”
Rin Chihara turned his head to look at Okano and Ishido again, and ordered, "In addition to getting video evidence, you must also launch a private investigation. There is much of a problem with this person's fraud for so many years and has not been discovered, that is, because the paleolithic tools are basically genuine, so it is likely that he was anonymously purchased from different places overseas little by little, and he saved it for a few years, and you can also check it along this line to see if there is anything to discover. In short, give you two weeks, the more comprehensive the evidence, the better. ”
"Yes, we get it. ”
Rin Chihara was still a little uneasy, and after thinking about it, he added to it, "This mission is very important, and you have performed well before, you have to do it well this time, and you will be promoted when you come back, don't let me down." ”
Okano and Ishido were stunned, and suddenly their spirits became bigger, and they promised a few more times, and then they forced their excitement to follow Konoe Hitomi out, and Chihara Rin watched the show "Said to be the No. 1 in the World" again, and turned off the small TV casually.
Take your time, get the hard evidence first, and then ......
