Tian Chong, on one hand, is an editor at a newspaper and also a freelance writer who writes articles in his spare time.
His personal interests are deeply tied to electronic games, so he will always stand on the side of electronic games no matter what.
If anyone dares to discredit electronic games, he will definitely resist with all his might.
The words of these veteran writers enraged him, so he used his column to attack these writers.
Anyway, he has no relationship with the people in the TV and film industry, and no matter what means they use, it won't affect his career at all, so he won't be polite.
In fact, it's not just Tian Chong; the guy who leaked the content of this internal meeting to Tian Chong also dislikes these writers' words.
Even though he said it while drunk, it's because he really felt disgusted, and then he couldn't help but reveal it after drinking.
The day this article was published in the newspaper, those writers exploded.
They couldn't believe that someone would directly attack them, veteran writers, in the newspaper.
It can be said that they all have a certain status in society.
Writers are usually respected by people in society.
And these writers are even more respected.
A top-notch literary creator has the opportunity to become a national teacher-level figure.
They can even directly criticize the Japanese government, and the Japanese government will still go along with it.
However, these writers haven't reached the level of national teachers yet, but they're not far off.
Being criticized in one of Japan's top newspapers, especially in the Japan Economic News, was something these writers couldn't bear.
The oldest writer, who is the leader, was furious that day and threatened to find the traitor within NHK.
Someone leaked the contents of their conversation; this was really embarrassing.
Their appearance is usually glamorous to outsiders, and they rarely behave in such an undignified manner.
It's just that at the time, it was an internal meeting, and they didn't conceal their emotions too much, but they didn't expect someone with ulterior motives to leak this information.
At the same time, the producers quickly organized people to accuse Japan Economic News of publishing articles that were not true and were sowing discord. Their writers would never say such terrible things; this was completely defamation. They were ready to use legal weapons to sue the writer called Tian Chong.
The two sides quarreled for two or three days.
From the newspapers to internet forums, both sides stuck to their own words.
But obviously, Tian Chong's influence wasn't strong, and it seemed that he was about to be suppressed soon.
Takayuki had been quietly observing the situation before and hadn't intervened.
This kind of quarrel was quite normal; it was just a collision of interests groups.
But he ultimately stood on the side of electronic games, and naturally, he couldn't just sit back and watch Tian Chong, who supported electronic games, lose, especially since Tian Chong had always been on the side of Gamestar Entertainment.
But coming out directly to quarrel with the other side was a bit too low.
Nowadays, electronic games can consider raising their image a bit. Directly engaging in low-level confrontations like quarrels is no longer necessary, but other methods can be used.
Masashi Ota is one of the oldest employees of Gamestar Entertainment.
But now, he has gradually faded into the background.
His management methods are indeed not as good as those of real talents and managers; he was only good at coordinating manpower for ground promotion in the early stages. Later, when Gamestar Entertainment had more efficient means, he became a backstage worker, mainly responsible for logistical work.
But this doesn't mean he has no role in the company.
He still has a little bit of a gangster background; through this background, he quickly got some more secretive insider information, such as more details about that meeting at the time, and even dug up a somewhat blurry video of the meeting.
This thing is quite fatal to those few writers.
I'm afraid the writers didn't even think that someone would actually record the meeting.
And the content of this recording is almost equivalent to conclusive evidence, but some people questioned its authenticity, but that's no longer the point.
The contradictions among players have been successfully provoked, and they have begun to spontaneously boycott the works of these writers.
Even if their works are still okay, it won't kill them to watch a few less excellent works, and they still have fun games to play.
This farce suddenly showed a trend of escalating.
The oldest writer is a relationship at another newspaper, so this relationship also used his connections to start publishing various negative news about electronic games in another newspaper.
For this, he even brought up the fighting incident at the game launch event that was overplayed several years ago.
Then, using a few examples to convict electronic games, believing that this thing brings no benefits at all, only harms, it makes people addicted, and it corrupts them.
Naturally, players were even more dissatisfied, and then they began to spontaneously organize a movement to attack NHK.
Fortunately, the other several commercial TV stations were very honest. They immediately stood up and stated that their own writers and themselves had no intention of looking down on electronic games, and they were willing to accept negotiations with any electronic game company's advertisers and welcomed any players to supervise them.
It can be said that they surrendered quite quickly.
They were beaten up by electronic games twice before, but that's not the main reason they surrendered.
The main reason is that after the TV industry was in a downturn, they turned around and made some profits using electronic games.
Now the gaming industry is the most generous one. They don't even bargain when they pay for advertising. Many domestic and foreign game companies have become the biggest advertisers for these commercial TV stations. They even want to lick electronic games to death; they have long lost the vigor of resisting electronic games.
Of course, the leaders who initially resisted electronic games are no longer on the front line. The new batch of people who came up clearly have a higher acceptance of electronic games, which is why they immediately chose the gaming stance.
Now, this is a bit embarrassing.
NHK is indeed the big brother of television stations, but they're not really able to dominate the Japanese television industry.
This isn't thirty years ago; their status is at most there, but their influence has long been gone.
The fact that the other top commercial television stations all unified to stand on the side of electronic games made those few writers feel as if they had lost their teammates all at once.
