Chapter 426 Prepare for Public Suicide! Oda Shingo!
Looking at the invitation from the TV station, the director of the Labor Standards Bureau had a distorted expression and spirit.
"Go or not?" He murmured.
If he ignored them and let them comment on his own people without refuting them on the spot, he would suffer a great loss.
But if he went, he would be criticized and questioned on the spot. If he gave a bad answer or made an inappropriate statement, it would cause a bigger commotion and even form a scandal.
What's more, it is rare for Japanese authorities to appear on TV.
The invitation from the TV station was just a routine invitation letter, and they didn't expect the Labor Standards Bureau to come.
Because the TV station thought that no one would be stupid enough to come and be scolded.
"There will be no show next season, let's find a Japanese government agency to criticize."
"Japan's XX Bureau XX Agency has another scandal, so let's come to the show!"
"The ratings have dropped recently, let's criticize a government agency to boost popularity."
"The manzai writers are running out of words, let's find a topic to satirize the government agency!"
These are the conversations that often appear between the cast and crew of TV news and variety shows.
The traditional reserved program of Japanese TV stations is to tease the authorities.
The audience likes to watch and also likes to watch such programs. Many people are even too lazy to criticize, just watching such performances with a blank face.
Such as the construction of public service facilities is ineffective, the social welfare system has too many drawbacks, and the whole society's low birth rate is due to problems at the decision-making level. All kinds of problems and contradictions can be summarized as the authorities are too weak, too rotten, and too easy.
There was once a survey, the first option was how much you think Japan's comprehensive strength can rank in the world. As a result, most people who filled in the survey chose the top ten.
Although this is the blind confidence of the Japanese, the fun is still in the second question, which is actually asking how much you think Japan's authorities can rank in the world.
Therefore, the most selected option is 40-50.
This is very ridiculous compared to the blind confidence of the Japanese in their comprehensive national strength and the degree of trust in the authorities.
But this is still a funny point. The biggest joke is that after it was put on TV, several passers-by who were asked said that the reason they chose 40-50 was because the highest noun only went up to here, and they actually wanted to choose after 100!
This shows how serious the Japanese are dissatisfied with the authorities.
Therefore, a more popular Japanese movement is to change the prime minister...
Since 1948, Japan has experienced a total of 54 prime ministers, which is equivalent to an average of one prime minister every 1.4 years.
This is definitely in the bottom ten in the world ranking.
The countries that change their governors less frequently than Japan are all poor, black, and war-torn countries in Africa...
There is a joke that a new cleaning lady in a Japanese official residence asked another cleaning lady: "How can I work here longer?"
The toilet lady replied: "Just don't be like the prime minister... The toilet paper piled up in the toilet warehouse in recent years has not passed the shelf life, but the prime minister has changed three times..."
The director of the Labor Standards Bureau hesitated again and again, but decided not to say anything.
He directly threw the invitation letter to his subordinate director.
You can do it yourself!
Don't express your opinion, don't support, don't oppose, anyway, if it's not good, it's your fault, and if it's good, it's my good leadership.
The subordinate director was furious, but on the surface he accepted it neatly.
Then, he pretended to be dead.
The excellent mechanism of Japanese authority departments: if the boss doesn't express his opinion, the subordinates will take the blame.
So, the invitation from the TV station naturally didn't get a response.
The presenters didn't take it seriously at all, because it was a routine, and there was not even a 1% chance of an official appearance, unless it was a program to praise them.
The TV station's attention was all on inviting Oda Shingo.
Unfortunately, Oda Shingo was only focused on drawing comics and ignored the TV station's invitation.
TV stations such as Tokyo Broadcasting and Fujisan Broadcasting in Japan launched interviews or chat programs to cater to the market's enthusiasm.
The opening of the program was without exception, all of which were based on the popularity of "Cells at Work! Black" and the opening remarks were based on the feelings of the workers.
Then, the workers who came back from overtime late at night were filmed, and they were tired and wanted to sleep at any time while wandering on the subway, and there were also new employees who sat on the roadside and ate bread after overtime...
In response to the wave of protests against exploitation and boycotts against overtime set off by this comic, experts, male and female actors, social figures and other people sat together to discuss this social phenomenon.
The program was almost a slap in the face of the Labor Standards Bureau, and in the end everyone reached a consensus: Japan's Labor Standards Bureau is a big waste that has not done anything for decades!
People from the Labor Standards Bureau don't dare to take buses with the bureau logo when they go out.
People from the Cultural Affairs Bureau are almost laughing to death.
You deserve it! You are allowed to publish soft articles! We have the great devil Shingo Oda!
With the TV program using "Cells at Work! Black" as an introduction, Shingo Oda's popularity has been further improved. "Champion" has also reaped a lot of dividends because it is the second time to serialize this comic.
Because Japan still mainly reads paper, it is also a traditional habit of everyone. Although the serialization on the official website of the Cultural Affairs Bureau has a great influence, the audience is still limited.
"2 million! 2 million sales have been achieved!" A scream rang out in the editorial department of Springfield Bookstore.
Then there were cheers one after another.
Market data shows that the cumulative sales of "champon" in the middle of last month reached 2 million!
That issue happened to be the time when Oda Shingo and Kurokawa Rumiko were fighting fiercely. The market was full of gimmicks and sales soared. It can be said that the two great writers worked together to promote the sales rise of the up-and-coming Springfield Bookstore.
2 million per issue is the representative sales standard of first-class comic magazines, and it is also the recognition standard of the millennium.
Even the industry's big brother Qunyingsha dare not say that every issue now has 2 million sales. The most common is to claim 1.8 million sales, and even this sales number is suspected to be a swell-up.
The president of Springfield Bookstore, Haruta Sadako, personally came to Oda Shingo's studio to thank him.
She specially sent an invitation to the [2 million sales celebration party].
For this kind of social event, Oda Shingo naturally couldn't refuse.
Then the heads of various departments, with editors-in-chief, section chiefs and other personnel, came in batches to thank him.
"Saburo, why didn't you bring your girlfriend?" Saburo Mikami and Ran Kono didn't come together, but Shingo Oda teased him.
"Well, this is business, of course it can't be mixed with personal matters."
Yuko Mikami was envious: "Onii-chan finally officially has a girlfriend? Before, it was just for fun..."
How did she know? Don't let Ran Kono know! Saburo Mikami quickly covered his sister's mouth.
On Saturday, Springfield Bookstore will hold a celebration.
However, the Labor Standards Bureau, which has been licking its wounds in the dark, is ready to fight back on this day...
The director of the Labor Standards Bureau has thick eye circles, which cover up his sinister eyes: "Shingo Oda, I will make you publicly die on the issue of overtime!"
