Chapter 426 News Report
(Sorry, this chapter is a bit watery, you can skip it and read it together with the next chapter)
This person’s surname is Wu and his name is Mu.
No matter how he sounds, he seems to be the top celebrity in their country. It can't be such a rare name. There must be someone with the same name in Japan.
The department director in front of Zhou Ying also had a strange look on his face, "It's the celebrity Wu Mu you were thinking of."
Well, there is indeed no same name.
Zhou Ying's guess was confirmed, but she didn't feel enlightened at all. She only felt absurd and stunned. "No, how could this Japanese parade be related to that celebrity Wu Mu!?"
It was still a large parade of 30,000 to 40,000 people!!
This is too strange!
A large-scale parade of 30,000 to 40,000 people was such a serious and politically charged event, but the name of a celebrity popped up, and it was the name of a celebrity from their country! ?
The department director didn't really understand it, but he checked it out as soon as he got the news. "This parade was originally an event initiated by his fans to help him promote his new album."
An activity initiated by Wu Mu’s fans to help him promote his album?
No, you hold a parade just to promote an album! ?
If you want to promote a movie or TV show, you have to attack Guohui directly!
And when did the star Wu Mu have so many fans in Japan!
Zhou Ying didn’t know Wu Mu very well. It was just that when she was occasionally writing articles and collecting information and hot topics, she would inevitably come across some hot searches about this person.
Her impression of Wu Mu is that he is a new generation traffic star who is very popular in China and often appears on trending searches. She doesn't know if it is due to marketing or something else.
It turns out that this person who she thought was a popular star in China actually had such a great influence in Japan? ?
A domestic shooting star and an international star who can influence foreign audiences to organize parades of tens of thousands of people for him are two completely different concepts.
As for the former, as a serious journalist, Zhou Ying would not take it seriously at all. He was just a celebrity and it was possible that he would become obsolete and silent at any time.
The latter one. Didn’t you see that she was suddenly called out for an emergency mission?
The department director was also puzzled. "I saw in the information that he seems to have started Japanese affairs recently. I don't know how he has such influence so quickly. Xiang Ping and the others are here. Let's get in the car first and then talk."
Zhou Ying and the director joined the editing team and drove to Hibiya Park together.
On the way, Zhou Ying took the time to search for information online.
Well, there’s actually no need to check, because it’s the number one trending search on Twitter in Japan.
#50,000 people marched in Hibiya Park to promote the spirit of resistance and the new album of Chinese idol Goki#
This kind of large-scale parade to promote an album was something that Zhou Ying had never seen before, and even the Japanese themselves had rarely seen it before.
So as soon as this topic was posted online, its popularity continued to soar. In less than half an hour, it was pushed to the top of the hot search list.
From this hot topic, Zhou Ying had a general understanding of the situation.
To put it simply, their domestic star Wu Mu came to Japan to release a new album, and because he did not promote it himself, his fans were worried that the sales of this album, which was obviously a great album, would flop, so they spontaneously started promoting it.
"So much love?"
Zhou Ying muttered to herself, she closed Twitter, opened Line, and wanted to see what kind of album this was that could make his fans do such a thing.
Soon, Wu Mu's new album was searched out.
Zhou Ying didn't even try listening to the song and bought it directly. Anyway, she would definitely learn more about it when she writes the article.
Well, I'll ask the station to reimburse me later.
After buying it, she directly clicked on the title song of the same name at the top and started playing it.
“As always, day after day”
This was the first time that Zhou Ying listened to Wu Mu's songs seriously. She was quite surprised by the listening experience. He sang so well?
After quickly listening to the entire album, she couldn't help but nod her head. It would be a pity if such an album remained unknown.
Her colleague in the editing team in front of her turned around in surprise when he heard the song she was playing. "Is this Wu Mu's new album? It's amazing. He sings Japanese songs so well. Xiaoying, what's the name of his album? I'll buy one too."
At this time, I wonder how many people like Zhou Ying and her colleagues were attracted by the parade to buy albums.
Who wouldn't be curious about an album that can trigger a march of 40,000 to 50,000 people? And look at the price, it's only 600 yen. It's worth buying it just for the fun of it.
Album sales are skyrocketing.
Of course, Zhou Ying and others are more concerned about things like the big parade, which have strong political implications.
Soon, they drove to the vicinity of Hibiya Park.
There were indeed huge crowds of people!
At first glance, it feels like there's no end in sight.
At this time, the marching crowd had already started shouting slogans and moving forward.
"Resist! Fight against workplace burnout! We want a break!"
"Oppose companies hiring large numbers of temporary workers and exploiting their labor!"
“Stop school bullying!”
The overall slogan is still mainly to oppose various social ills, and the name of Wu Mu and Wu Mu's album is not mentioned much.
This is also what Yuki Shiraishi has said many times on the Internet before.
When the real parade begins, do not shout Mumujiang's name as a slogan, as it will easily attract hatred towards Mumujiang and make the public feel disgusted.
The tone of the matter should be set on resisting the injustice of life. This will not only easily win the public's favor but also make the public support them.
It also seems that they have a legitimate reason and are not just some fan club members.
At the same time, it is also easier to attract more people outside the circle and expand the influence of the entire event.
Anyway, as long as the influence of the parade is big enough, Mumujiang’s album will definitely be mentioned.
The overall order of the parade was not disrupted, and no one actually tried to attack the Imperial Palace. They moved forward slowly along their originally planned route.
However, even here, there were already a large number of police officers from the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department on the sidelines, maintaining order, directing traffic, and being on high alert, fearing that any trouble would arise.
Zhou Ying and her team followed the parade and filmed all the way. They captured all the material and also interviewed many of the marchers, which gave them a better understanding of what was going on.
But after taking these photos, there was a problem.
"Director, will the station release the news about our parade?" Zhou Ying asked hesitantly.
Normally, such large-scale parades in major countries of the world would definitely be reported.
And based on the severity and subject matter, we will decide where to put it, whether to make a big deal about it or just briefly mention it.
For example, large-scale protest marches against the US military and against the discharge of nuclear waste water will definitely be broadcast on the news broadcast to show the crimes of the US military and the Japanese government's perverse actions that go against the wishes of its own people.
Because the topic of this march is not prominent enough, it may not be included in the news broadcast. Even if it is included, it will most likely be briefly mentioned.
But if it is not broadcasted on the Xinwen Lianbo, it is definitely okay to broadcast it on the news channel of CCTV. It is also okay to talk about the deep-rooted social problems in Japan and the strong resistance of the people. But these are normal situations, and now there is an abnormal person who is inserted in it.
The department director naturally knew what Zhou Ying meant. He pondered for a moment and said, "It depends on what the station means. But I think it will be published. After all, it's a large-scale parade of 50,000 to 60,000 people. It would be unreasonable not to report it."
"Then what will be the direction of the report at that time?" Zhou Ying asked again.
Well, the direction of reporting is also a very important thing. If the direction is different, even if it is the same thing, the rhetoric will be completely different.
In fact, it was because of one person who got involved. Normally, this kind of parade would be reported in the direction of foreign countries being in dire straits.
But now there is a star from their country in it. So can we talk about it from the perspective of cultural export, cultural export, and how the stars from their own country have caused a huge response and become very popular abroad?
While people in foreign countries were suffering, our own country became stronger and our exported culture was sought after.
If the person who caused the explosion was Mo Mo, or other senior celebrities with positive images in their country, Zhou Ying estimated that the situation would most likely develop into the latter one.
But this person happens to be Wu Mu.
The department director was also quite amused. "This guy is indeed a bit too difficult. If he had a cleaner image and acted more steadily, he would definitely be promoted as a benchmark. Now the strategic direction is to export culture to build the country's cultural strength and shape a new image of a great power."
But this guy is involved with a rich woman and was involved in a mistress incident. He also has a thorny personality. He poured wine on investors, posted about rival companies on Weibo, teased the audience's dogs on the spot, scolded other stars on live shows, and gave other stars the middle finger.
Which of these can be used for publicity?
If we push him out for publicity at that time, what if the people think that the government approves of him? What if young people with immature ideas follow his example?
That person did that because he always has fans to back him up so it doesn't matter. If an ordinary person does the same, how can he still live?
The director shook his head and said, "Just report as normal. Let the higher-ups decide how to proceed."
Anyway, this news is bound to be released, and the scale is so large that it would be insincere not to talk about it in detail. Even how much to mention Wu Mu's name is a problem. But no matter what, Wu Mu's name will definitely be mentioned as the cause of the incident.
CCTV’s news team continues to follow the incident and has already started transmitting the footage back to the China Media Group to see what the group decides.
Then about one or two hours after the materials were sent back, Zhou Ying and her colleagues received a reply from the headquarters.
The news is indeed not enough for the previous news broadcast, but it will be broadcast directly on the CCTV News Channel at noon as today's breaking news, and they will be directly connected to it live at that time!
China, a second-tier city.
Office worker Wan Zhihong is taking a rest today. He just woke up after playing games all night last night.
"I'm starving. Let's order takeout."
After quickly ordering a usual dish on the food delivery app, he opened the gaming forum to look for the module for the game he had played last night.
"Hey, has Dawn's map module been updated? Let's see what's updated later. Unfortunately, the maps made by these third-party authors always seem to be a little inferior to those made by Noon Dog." He said with some regret.
Well, the game he was playing was the Vampire Survivor that Wu Mu had made before.
He is a loyal player of this game. Not only has he completed the main game a long time ago, he has also played all the large-scale modules made by third-party authors in the creative workshop opened after Wu Mu.
But it may be the author's filter effect, he always feels that his work is not as addictive as Wu Mu's original work.
But that person neither updates the game version nor makes new games. He is obsessed with being a celebrity every day. He really has no choice but to curse at Wu Mu on Weibo from time to time.
Soon, the takeaway he ordered arrived, and Wan Zhihong put down his phone and turned on the TV in the living room.
Well, unlike others who like to find various medium-length videos or TV dramas as electronic pickles to eat with meals, he prefers to watch the news while eating. While eating, he reads world news and learns about world affairs, so that he can feel that he is not out of touch with the world.
After turning on the TV, he skillfully switched the channel to CCTV Channel 13. It was not yet eleven o'clock, and the news at thirty minutes past one on Channel had not started yet. A documentary was being played, and Channel had news.
"Yemen's Houthi armed forces said they would once again attack US and Israeli targets." All the TV showed was international war news.
Wan Zhihong, who had found his state of mind, nodded with satisfaction and began to open the lid of the takeaway food to prepare for eating.
On TV, the international war news had come to an end and ended quickly, and then continued with a current affairs news.
"Next, I will report a piece of news today. At 8 o'clock this morning, a large-scale demonstration broke out in Tokyo, Japan. Nearly 60,000 people gathered in Hibiya Park to protest."
Wang Zhihong ate the sweet and sour pork ribs he ordered while keeping an eye on the picture on TV.
On TV was a picture of a crowd shot from a high vantage point. The people were so densely packed that it seemed as if there was no end to them. Moreover, the protesting crowd seemed to be quite organized. They all wore white ribbons on their heads and looked very imposing.
Wang Zhihong didn't care. He had read so much official news, how could he not know the tone of the official news? Foreign countries were in dire straits.
Although sometimes the situation in foreign countries is indeed quite difficult.
He didn't care and continued to eat and watch.
"The marchers plan to start from Hibiya Park and head towards the Imperial Palace, passing the Japanese Diet Building."
Along with the news anchor's narration, the crowd scene on TV began to move closer, and the specific appearance of each person on TV could be seen.
Everyone was dressed differently, but they all wore a white ribbon on their forehead with words written on it.
However, most of them were written in Japanese, which Wang Zhihong didn't recognize, so he just glanced at them without paying much attention.
However, as he was scanning, his eyes suddenly paused and he suddenly discovered a strange place.
"Why do all these people have the word goki written on their ribbons?"
The English word "goki" would be fine, but the key point is that he always felt that this English word seemed a little familiar, as if he had seen it somewhere.
And it should have been not long since we met.
Wang Zhihong frowned and thought.
After thinking for a few seconds, he seemed to suddenly remember something, picked up the phone next to him, and opened the Weibo on his phone.
He hadn't logged out of the Weibo backend yet, and when he clicked on it, he was greeted by the page he had previously viewed, the comment section of a person's Weibo account.
There is a new comment from him in the comment section: "Wu Gou, can you stop being that B-star? If you have this kind of talent, why don't you make a name for yourself by making games?"
There are also various comments in Korean and Japanese mixed with machine-translated Chinese.
"Goki-chan, I love you!"
"Goki-chan, be happy every day!"
Wang Zhihong's eyes stopped on the English word "goki".
Huh?
