Chapter 118: The POISON Incident

In the original history, a social research website conducted a survey that called the generation born in the middle of the decade the "POISON generation".

I didn't go through that period, so I can't imagine how popular Poison was at the time. Yes, the term even surpassed TV scripts and became a social phenomenon for a time, appearing extremely frequently on radio, television, and in people's conversations.

Especially in "Karaon", it is a must-order song. Even 20 years later, when many people go to karaoke, they still order this song to shout "Poison" to the chorus.

To put it in an easy-to-understand way - this is an ironclad line comparable to the "F-U-C-K" in the mouths of Americans, with a strong mark of the times.

Why is this so?

The reason is that my life is too depressing.

Just as Americans like to flaunt freedom with road culture, I am the quintessential railroad culture. In a country where the train departs 20 seconds before the start of the train and apologizes to the people, everyone is like a tram on the tracks, and they do not cross the line.

Even suicide, most people will choose to die on the track.

Virtuous people will finish the work and hand it over, and carry the suicide note to lie on the track. Some people who are more virtuous also have to wait for the last train on the rails, so as not to delay others to sign in to work.

This kind of stereotyping and repression, Osamu Dazai gave an incisive summary-

Born human, I'm sorry.

……

I have been saying "sorry" from life to death, and the psychological pressure is very great, but these pressures are difficult to release in words, so Poison, a word used to express all negative emotions, has become popular.

"Poison" in this life is more fierce than in the previous life.

If the anti-machi version is "complaining", then the Lin Hai version is "outbreaking".

The chorus part of the Lin Hai version is in a higher key, and the penetrating power brought by the metal singing voice is incomparable to the bass of Takashi Anti-Machi.

At the same time, in terms of arrangement and mixing, the difference between the two songs is not small.

When many Chinese people first came into contact with this song, they had more or less similar feelings - too noisy.

The main reason for this feeling is in the arrangement and mixing.

In fact, in the 70s, this song was not so noisy, at that time this song was claimed to be more bitter than Blues, and the songs of "you and me, me and him, he and you" grabbed a lot of songs, but in the 80s, things changed.

On the one hand, it is caused by the psychology of musicians' show-off skills.

In the 80s, the musician's showmanship began to expand, and later evolved into "innovation for innovation's sake", which reflected in the increasingly complex arrangement of songs.

Some people joke that this arranger always tries to cram the symphony orchestra into the work, even if it is just an advertising PV.

On the other hand, it is caused by the continuous development of the idol industry. As an idol of FMCG, they often do not have well-polished singing skills, so they are mixed

During the sound, the accompaniment is emphasized and the vocals are weakened.

Combining the above two points, the result is that it is accidentally boiled into a pot of porridge.

The anti-machi version of Poison has such a problem.

Not so in the Lin Hai version.

When arranging the music, Lin Hai did not exaggerate his skills, and he was also very restrained in the choice of instruments and effects, so that the singing voice was not drowned out by the accompaniment, and it became more and more infectious.

……

Thus, the "virus" broke out.

……

According to later statistics, on the night of July 14, Fuji TV received more than 2,000 protest calls, all of which were triggered by "changing songs", and in the reporter's street interviews, many people said that they also made calls, but they could not get in at all.

"I don't know what they think, but I like anti-cho very much, but if the theme song is sung by him, I can only say I'm sorry!"

"If you decided to change it from the beginning, why did you put Lin Hai's version in the first episode, so the comparison is not at all!"

"I'm sorry, I don't like that kind of messy film, it's good that the ratings have collapsed!"

These are quite sane, and the irrational ones will only shout.

"In a world where you can't even say what you want to say—"

“POISON!”

A group of young people shouted.

Miyu Muramatsu and her partner, Taro Echichu, encountered this situation the most in their interview the following morning.

"Muramatsu, take a break. ”

Taro Echichu said, put the camera back in the interview car, picked up a towel and wiped his face, and said, "Director Ishihara just called and asked us to go back later. ”

"Why?"

"It's said that there were people in front of the TV station to protest, hey, if you want me to say that these people are just idle and have nothing to do, it's just a song, as for it!"

As for it?

Miyu Muramatsu thought about it and gave an affirmative answer.

She has been with Fuji TV for several years and is currently a popular anchor on the midday news program.

In the eyes of the outside world, the status of popular streamers is very high, but this is not the case at Fuji TV at all.

……

Fuji TV's broadcasting studio is located under the Editorial Bureau, which is more precise, and the Editorial Production Bureau is the broadcasting room of the Production Center, so you have to absolutely obey the arrangement of the producer, and no matter how popular the host is, you can't choose your own work.

Not only is the work not free, even if you need to eat with the artist because of work, you have to pay for it yourself, and the production bureau has a budget, but it is all taken away by the producer, and there is no host at all. Especially the female anchors, even makeup, costumes, etc. must be prepared by themselves.

Not only that, but it is even more common for female anchors to encounter power harassment from the top. Chihiro Kameyama, who has produced "Long Vacation" as a producer and is currently the deputy director of the production bureau, once said: The female anchor is the escort lady, as long as she sits on the side with a smile.

Miyu Muramatsu also had the experience of being forced to accompany the drink, and she didn't know how many grievances she had accumulated, so she felt the same dissatisfaction with the audience.

Miyu Muramatsu has reported on the news about Lin Hai many times and knows a lot about his deeds

, I especially like this boy who has one.

During the recording of "HEY3", she sat in the audience, in addition to witnessing Lin Hai's talent up close, she sincerely admired his behavior of daring to contradict the bigwigs in the circle.

The more this is the case, the more righteous indignation is at the unfair treatment he has received.

When "GTO" aired last night, Miyu Muramatsu also made a protest call, and although the interlocutor was sorry, she really vented the pressure that had accumulated over the years. To be honest, during the interview just now, if it wasn't for her limitations, she couldn't wait to yell a few words with everyone.

But it doesn't matter, she specially ran out to do street interviews, isn't she also supporting "idols" in disguise?

Yes, in Miyu Muramatsu's heart, Lin Hai is her idol.

……

"Remnant thoughts, this news can't be broadcast. ”

The producer didn't wait for Miyu Muramatsu to finish speaking, and then vetoed it.

Miyu Muramatsu silently exited the producer's office, covering her mouth with a feeling of suffocation.

Rationally, Fujitai's approach to cold treatment is indeed the best choice, but is this really what a responsible media should do?

Besides, even if Fuji TV doesn't report it, won't other TV stations report it?

……

Other TV stations are very responsive.

The DPRK never forgot to bring down Fujidai, and this was the case with the last "Matsuura Katsuto plagiarism incident", and the same is true for the "GTO" theme song change this time", and the DPRK reported in detail the beginning and end of the incident, and said that it would further follow up on the development of the situation.

Why track?

Because the development of events is gradually getting out of control.

……

On the afternoon of July 15, in Chiba, there was a collective suicide by jumping off the rails, which caused a national shock!

In Ben, it's nothing unusual to commit suicide by jumping off the rails. There are more than 20,000 railway accidents every year, and the death toll is around 30,000.

However, the vast majority of suicides were committed by individuals, and in this "Chiba Suicide Incident," as many as 19 people participated, including six minors! According to eyewitnesses, these people sang "Poison" loudly when the train was about to arrive, lined up like penguins and jumped off the track, which eventually led to an astonishing tragedy of nine deaths and ten injuries!

At this moment, everyone couldn't sit still.

On the same day, the Minister of Economy, Trade and Industry interviewed Fuji TV President Edahisa Edahisa on television, who later publicly apologized to the public through television, explaining that the "song change" was due to copyright issues, and that the mistake would be corrected in the subsequent broadcast, taking into account public opinion.

……

On July 16, things changed again.

On this day, a new issue of "Weekly Article" was released, which disclosed in detail the whole story of Lin Hai's arrest, which was quoted and reprinted by many media, causing a national uproar.

If you read the article as a whole, it is extremely detrimental to Lin Hai - it not only discloses his half-blood and forgery, but also reports in detail the causes and consequences of his arrest.

I have to say that the editor-in-chief of "Weekly Text" Shintani is right on the timing

In order to expand its influence, the magazine also temporarily placed advertisements in Tokyo's trams and subway cars, with an eye-catching headline: "Chinese spies who fool the people!"

The "Weekly Article" created an astonishing number of sales, but unexpectedly, the public's criticism of Lin Hai was not much, but his voice accounted for the majority.

Why?

It turned out that the night before, when Kyoko Fukada participated in a talk show, she specifically mentioned Lin Hai.

Like Lin Hai, Kyoko Fukada is also a hot topic these days, and there are many people who stay in front of the TV because they like this sweet and lovely girl.

To the surprise of the audience, Kyoko did not talk too much about herself in the show, but did not leave Lin Hai in three sentences.

From her mouth, the audience knew about Lin Hai's "Half Chinese blood" - this term was coined by Kyoko, and knew that he once didn't even know that his mother was alive, and he was currently working hard to revitalize the economy of his mother's place......

Lin Hai's "miserable life" inspired many female mothers, but it was his Chinese ancestry that became dispensable in the eyes of ordinary people.

……

On July 17, another woman with more weight was interviewed by NHK TV.

She is Lin Shiling, who has just become the crown princess of Samsung Group.

In the interview, Lin Shiling revealed more details that were not reported by Weekly Article, and publicly expressed her gratitude to Lin Hai.

Only then did people know that Lin Hai was not facing a few bad teenagers, but gun-wielding gangsters, and even got shot in the process of dealing with the gangsters......

In the afternoon of the same day, the militia group and Chongryon jointly issued a statement expressing their gratitude to Lin Hai for his righteous deed, and almost at the same time, the Chinese Embassy in China also expressed its condemnation for the media's false reports and deliberate smears against Lin Hai.

The next morning, under the pressure of public opinion, the Metropolitan Police Department had to hold a press conference to confirm that what Lin Shiling said was true, saying that the accusation that Lin Hai was a smuggler and spy was a false report. At the press conference, the Metropolitan Police Department also announced some details of the "Kyoto Serial Murder Case" that occurred some time ago, as well as the help provided by Lin Hai for the investigation of the case.

The Metropolitan Police Department also said that it would publicly commend Lin Hai at a later date.

At this point, the person who tried to trample Lin Hai to death had to stop.

For the public, Lin Hai, the "male protagonist", has not shown up for a long time, which makes everyone curious.

Where did Lin Hai go?
