"Hello everyone, and welcome to the Iron Mouth Heroes Club, I'm the lovely and erudite Dr. Imai."

"The world is a collection of contradictions, and people have all kinds of conflicts because of different ideas, so people raise their swords and guns and throw bombs at each other's positions in order to destroy their opposing views. However, contradictory views can never go away, and even if the body of the dissident is destroyed, the dissent itself will always exist like a ghost. Violence only exacerbates the contradictions, but does not eliminate them, so the wise and wise have come up with the best way to deal with the contradictions: debate."

"In the next hour, our red and white sides will give their opinions on a certain issue to win the vote of fifty jurors, and the one with the most votes will be our winner."

"And our topic today is: "Life is Beautiful" is very popular, but the character setting of the heroine in it has sparked discussion. The TV series is about the love between the disabled and ordinary people, and the characters of the disabled are often seen in pure love dramas now, and the drama seems to intend to make the disabled a cute character in the play, and this kind of drama has also formed a unique type of drama: disability drama. And "Beautiful Life" is the disability drama with the highest ratings and the most widespread topic in recent years. Do you think such dramas help people with disabilities improve their social status? Or will it just consume the disabled and use the disabled to create a spectacle and attract ordinary audiences? Is there a lack of respect for the disability community?"

"Okay, once you've heard the issue, please choose your own red and white camp."

This is an old NHK debate program, referring to the Red and White Song Club, and the two sides of the debate are also divided into red and white camps, but they are not divided according to gender like the Red and White Song Club, but according to their own concepts, they freely choose the pros and cons.

There are five people in one camp, and there will be a heated debate. At the end of the debate, the fifty jurors seated in the audience will give their own support, count the votes, and declare the victorious side.

This program has been broadcast on NHK for four or five years, and it is considered a veteran program, and the audience base has always been good. However, this show has recently been rescheduled and adjusted to 9 o'clock in the evening on Huoyao Day, because its original broadcast time was the ninth day of the month......

In the first half of the year, under the bombardment of "Homeless Child", "Housewife Mita", and "Naoki Hanzawa", the producer of the show almost closed himself. Later, the show was suspended for two episodes, the host was changed, and the broadcast time was urgently changed.

Dr. Imai, who was originally a guest host on a late-night show on Higashijima TV, was loved by the audience for his humorous rhetoric and rich knowledge, so he was invited by NHK to serve as the host of the Iron Mouth Heroes Club.

Dr. Imai also likes this program very much, because when he was in college, he participated in the school's debate team. However, he is here today as the host, and he cannot express his views freely, but tries to remain neutral.

Soon, the 10 participants chose the red and white camp, the red side considered the disability drama genre to be a disregard and humiliation for the disabled group, and the white camp opposed this view, and the debate officially began.

….

"If I get hurt, then the first thing I do is cover my wound with a bandage, instead of having me stand in the middle of the crowd and let everyone stare at my wound."

Red Fang put forward this point of view, they believe that the main creative intention of the disability drama is to magnify the disability characteristics of the disabled characters to the audience, and express the vulnerability of their characters through their disabilities.

"People are more likely to be interested in white crows than black crows. People are more likely to be interested in a rooster that lays eggs than a hen that lays eggs. Disability drama is to take advantage of people's curiosity, and treat people with disabilities as animals in a zoo cage for people to see."

"But this phenomenon is also criticized in 'Life is Beautiful,' and it is for this reason that the initial contradiction in the play is made. I took the heroine to shoot a magazine because of the heroine's disabled status, and I felt that I could increase the probability of winning the award......

"They're sarcastic, and they're actually doing it." Red retorts.

On the stage, the red and white sides were arguing with each other, while Fujiwara Kei sat in the audience, holding his cheeks and listening carefully to the speeches of both sides.

The theme of this issue of "Iron Mouth Heroes" is actually suggested by Fujiwara Kei to the producer, and the producer of "Iron Mouth Heroes" is also a well-known producer in the industry, and has handled many very famous domestic news and variety shows.

A few days ago, Kei Fujiwara brought the actor to NHK for a talk show, and I happened to have dinner with the producer, during which we talked about "Iron Mouth Heroes". The producer may have been premeditated, or maybe he had an idea, and asked Fujiwara if it was inconvenient for them to make a topic related to "Life is Beautiful" a debate?

But since it's a debate, it's more or less critical and aggressive...... Ask Kei Fujiwara if he minds.

Kei Fujiwara said that there is no problem, firstly, no matter what theme is filmed, there will be controversy, when Kei Fujiwara was filming "Naoki Hanzawa", someone sent a letter to the TV station asking to stop broadcasting "Naoki Hanzawa". I think "Naoki Hanzawa" is fueling the rebellious arrogance of young people, and intends to subvert the fine traditions of this society. There are also people who think that "Hanzawa Naoki" is whitewashing the rotten banking system, there is no good person in the bank, and the bank clerk should be a guy who kills the sky, and the righteous image of Hanzawa Naoki is incompatible with the bank staff.

If you're so afraid of controversy, it's better not to do a show at all and quit the broadcasting industry.

And after the debate topic was finally decided, the producer also invited Kei Fujiwara to be a special guest on the show that day, and he didn't have to go on stage, just sit in the audience, and when the time came, he would scan a few shots after the broadcast.

The debate lasted more than forty minutes, and at the end one of the women on the white side spoke: "I want Red to answer me a question, aren't people with disabilities worthy to be the protagonist of a story?"

"Of course I don't mean that, but it's inevitable that this will be a gimmick for people with disabilities to create a spectacle."

"So, in order to avoid the misconception that people are using people with disabilities as a gimmick, do you want to prohibit people with disabilities from being the protagonists?"

….

There was a moment of silence on the red side.

Seizing the silence, Belarus quickly countered: "In our discussion just now, we came to a consensus that the disabled community is afraid of being treated differently, isn't it? Therefore, the red side believes that as long as the disabled person appears in the audience's field of vision, the audience will inevitably look at their residual limbs, which is very cruel to the disabled group. So when you encounter a disabled person in the future, in order to avoid being disrespectful, do you have to cover your eyes or turn your head away? Isn't that a more cruel discrimination? By respecting people with disabilities, is that you mean expelling people from the world of ordinary people?"

"Fallacy! Sophism! The Fallacy of the Landslide!" The red side protested.

"My mother is disabled, and I know more about what people think than you do!"

"Ding, ding, ding!" Dr. Imai suddenly shook the brass bell in front of him and said, "Don't use your special status to put pressure on your opponent, a warning from the White camp."

The white debater, who said yes, quickly apologized to his teammates.

Soon, the debate between the two sides ended, and the voting session began, the voting process was relatively primitive, each audience member had a sticky note in his hand, on which red and white circles were drawn, and whichever side agreed, he would use a pen to sketch on which color of the circle.

Kei Fujiwara chose the side he thought was a good one, and then threw the sticky note into the ballot box.

In the end, the result of the debate match was won by White.

After the show, Kei Fujiwara went backstage under the guidance of the staff, and the producer reached out and shook hands with Kei Fujiwara, "How is it, Mr. Fujiwara, how is our show?"

"It was a lot of fun, for an hour and a half, and I was fully focused, and I'll definitely be back when it comes to the official broadcast."

"Haha, it's really an award, in terms of program production, I still have to ask Fujiwara Sensei for more advice."

"My field is mainly in TV dramas, variety shows, you

Still an expert."

"Too modest, too modest, the "Human Observation" you planned and produced is a very good variety show!"

The two of them praised each other for a long time, and then Fujiwara Kei suddenly said, "By the way, Kameda-san, have you thought about the debate topic for the next episode?"

Kameda Producer looked at Kei Fujiwara with a wink, "There is a pre-release, but filming hasn't officially started yet, does Fujiwara-sensei have any good advice?"

"I can't talk about it, there's a topic, I don't know if you're interested?"
