Chapter 140: Tokyo Press Conference
Because there was a press conference at half past two in the afternoon. After a period of negotiation, the two sides arranged the time of tonight's Chen Feng's program at eight o'clock in prime time, and then Fuji TV will also invite several heavyweight guests to partner with Chen Feng to do the program together according to the practice of South Korea's KBS TV.
After leaving the Four Seasons Hotel with great joy, Koichi Toyoda immediately called the relevant executives in the TV station to start waiting for them, and at the same time will insert a short message about Long's visit to Fuji TV every half hour for the first time, striving to increase the influence of Chen Feng's talk show tonight to the largest scale.
South Korea's TV station last night's interview program about Chen Feng hit the highest rating in history, reaching an astonishing 82.5%, which was cited as a miracle in the industry. I believe that for a long time, there will never be such a horror rating program in South Korea again, unless Chen Feng is on their Korean TV again, or if Chen Feng's upcoming "Winter Love Song" is released on Korean TV, it may break this ratings record. And Chen Feng's interview show was widely circulated on the Internet for the first time, and was clicked, browsed, and downloaded by countless long fans.
This news has been widely reported by various news media around the world early this morning, and Hiroshi Toyoda was reading the newspaper in the morning. I saw this news, but I was really envious for a while, thinking about how to invite him from his own TV station after Chen Feng and his party came to Tokyo, how to defeat NHK, a powerful "state-owned enterprise", and obtain Chen Feng's interview rights, but in his heart he had no bottom, and he was not very sure about it. But what I didn't expect was that Chen Feng actually took the initiative to find them this time, and naturally he had a feeling of joy falling from the sky.
After Zhang Hui and Chen Feng made an appointment with Koichi Toyoda and his entourage, they immediately went to the hall where the news conference was held, and the time was close to half past two in the afternoon. An hour ago, it was already crowded with journalists from many media outlets around the world, and it was already full.
When Chen Feng and Zhang Hui ascended the rostrum together under the escort of bodyguards, it immediately caused a commotion at the scene, and they all wanted to get closer to Chen Feng, but fortunately, the Tokyo police and the security guards of the Four Seasons Hotel who maintained order at the scene were well-trained, and under their suppression and persuasion, these reporters returned to their seats.
Wang Qibo, as the head of the propaganda group, was naturally the last to arrive, and when he officially took the stage, Zhang Hui also officially announced that the Tokyo press conference of the Beijing Olympic bid propaganda group was officially held.
The first to be given the right to ask questions was a special correspondent from AFP in Japan, a typical Japanese professional woman, dressed in professional attire and looking neat.
"Long, hello, I'm Eiko Matsujo, a reporter for AFP. I would like to ask if your Olympic bid propaganda team is passing through France this time, will you also accept the invitation of French television at that time, and what is your impression of France?"
The itinerary of this propaganda group is kept secret to the outside world, and only a few leaders within the propaganda group know, of course, the four ambassadors who bid for the Olympic Games, including Chen Feng, also know because of their special status.
Chen Feng glanced at Zhang Hui beside him with an inquiring eye, and after seeing her nodding slightly, he replied: "This time, our propaganda team is doing global propaganda work, and Paris is also an important city that we focus on publicity. Paris is a beautiful city, which is recognized all over the world, as the capital of fashion and romance, I have been longing for her for a long time, as for whether she will be interviewed in Paris at that time, I can only say that it depends on the situation. ”
After answering the question, Zhang Hui asked a reporter of a white race, who spoke fluent Japanese.
"Long, hello, I'm a reporter from the Associated Press, my question is, why did you refuse to be interviewed by NHK TV at the airport this morning, can you give us a specific reason? Thank you!"
This question was expected by Chen Feng, and Chen Feng did not hide it, and replied bluntly: "There is only one reason. When I rejected them, I already explained that NHK TV has always made false reports on World War II, glorified Japan's war behavior of aggression against other countries, distorted history, and praised militarism, which made me very disgusted, and it was difficult for me to accept as a Chinese. Therefore, I refuse to be interviewed by NHK TV, and I will never accept an interview with NHK and all its media magazines as long as NHK continues to do so. ”
Chen Feng's answer, which was obviously a little emotional, naturally caused an uproar in the audience, which was tantamount to Chen Feng officially and publicly accusing NHK and bombarding their right-wing political position.
"I protest! I protest!" A short and fat Japanese reporter raised his hand and shouted loudly in Japanese, "Long's remarks are a violation of the professional ethics of a well-known artist! It is also an unreasonable accusation against our NHK, and I would like to express my strongest protest to him on behalf of our NHK, and he wants to formally apologize to our NHK!"
Chen Fengniao did not bird the NHK reporter, and under Zhang Hui's hint, the police and security guards who maintained order at the scene also immediately stepped forward to invite the reporter who was shouting loudly and disrupting the order at the scene out.
The NHK reporter was a little ignorant, and continued to shout loudly: "I protest! I protest ......."
But his protest apparently had no impact, and in the end the police directly used force to carry him out of the scene.
After such a small episode, the on-site reporters will continue.
The third person who was called out was a reporter from the Yomiuri Shimbun. He actually spoke very fluent Chinese: "Hello, long, I am a reporter for the Yomiuri Shimbun, and in April this year, the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology of the Japanese government officially announced that the junior high school history textbook that was used in Japan in 2002, led by the right-wing scholar group 'New History Textbook Compilation Committee', has been approved as 'qualified'. How do you feel about the results of this review by the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology?"
The Yomiuri Shimbun, a reporter, obviously deliberately asked Chen Feng such a sensitive political issue. Because everyone just felt Chen Feng's national feelings. Asking such a question now is very meaningful.
Chen Feng is naturally very clear about Japan's "new history textbook," because in the world of his previous life, he often heard and saw this news in domestic television, newspapers, and other media twice a day.
The "compilation committee," which was established in 1997, compiled a history textbook that denies the history of aggression and beautifies the war of aggression under the pretext that the current history textbooks for junior high schools in Japan are "national masochistic" and sent them to the Japanese Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology for examination and approval in April last year. Under pressure from public opinion inside and outside Japan, the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology asked the "compilation committee" to revise 137 accounts in the manuscript that clearly falsified history and embellished aggression. However, the "compilation committee" only made some textual changes to these 137 accounts, and did not change the essence of the manuscript's distortion of historical facts and beautification of the war of aggression.
The textbook, which was approved as "qualified" by the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology, deliberately did not mention the Nanjing Massacre, but wrote in the section of the International Military Tribunal for the Far East: "In the trial of the International Military Tribunal for the Far East in Tokyo, it was found that the Japanese army killed many Chinese people during the occupation of Nanjing in the 1937 Sino-Japanese War (Nanjing Incident). However, there are many doubts about this incident, and there are various opinions about what the facts are. The controversy continues today. Regarding the establishment of the puppet state of Manchukuo, the textbook says: "Due to the entry of Japanese heavy industry, Manchukuo has developed economically under the slogan of harmony among the five ethnic groups and building a royal paradise, and the number of Chinese entering the country has increased significantly." Regarding the war of aggression launched by Japan, the textbook says: "At the beginning of the war, the Japanese army defeated the Allied forces, which increased the courage of Asians who had been under European and American colonial rule for a long time...... "The textbook does not mention at all issues such as the massacre of Koreans in Japan during the Great Kanto Earthquake and the forced use of women in Asian countries to serve as Japanese soldiers."
In 1982 and 1986, there were two textbook incidents in Japan that distorted historical facts and beautified wars of aggression. In the face of strong condemnation from public opinion in Japan and other Asian countries, the Japanese Government has formulated a "neighboring country clause" for the compilation of textbooks, that is, it promises the countries concerned that the issue of history textbooks "should be based on the perspective of gaining international understanding and international cooperation." give the necessary consideration".
Public opinion pointed out that in Japan's current textbook examination and approval system, the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology, as the competent department of the Japanese government, should have asked the "compilation committee" to thoroughly revise the accounts in the manuscript that did not conform to historical facts in accordance with the "neighboring country clause" when conducting the final examination. However, Japan's Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology has adopted an ambiguous and even conniving attitude in disregard of domestic public condemnation and protests from Asian countries. Therefore, the Japanese Government bears an unshirkable responsibility for the issue of distorting textbooks for the release of textbooks.
This year, on April 26, the little dog stupid wolf was inaugurated as the prime minister of Japan, for the new prime minister of Japan, Chen Feng is like thunder, nothing else, because the news media in the previous life have been constantly reporting for several years, this public and official Japanese prime minister who has persistently visited the Yasukuni Shrine for several years in a row, and he is also two prime ministers. These moves of his have directly led to a major retrogression in Sino-Japanese relations.
Of course, at this time, the little dog who has only been in office for a month is a stupid wolf, and he has not officially visited the Yasukuni Shrine, but if you calculate the time, it will be within one or two months.
First, there were history textbooks that distorted history and beautified the war, then the prime minister's visit to the Yasukuni Shrine, and then the great expansion of Japan's military power...... As a result, Japan was almost isolated in Asia, especially with China and South Korea, and further exacerbated the hatred of Japan in China. Chen Feng is naturally one of them.
Zhang Hui next to him was faintly worried that Chen Feng would say something more radical than just now, and was about to open his mouth to refuse this question on behalf of Chen Feng, but Chen Feng did not hesitate to answer this question immediately.
"I am very sorry about this, and at the same time very angry at some of the glorified descriptions in this so-called new history textbook. For example, in 1997, right-wing scholars established the "New History Textbook Compilation Society," which set up nearly 50 branches in Japan and raised more than 10,000 members. The annual event budget is as high as 420 million yen, which poses a serious challenge to the concept of peace history. I am very worried about this! Being on the same earth and under the same blue sky, I am convinced that no matter what nationality the people are, they all hate war and yearn for peace. I am also convinced that the majority of the people in Japan are peace-loving and dare to face up to the history of their own nation, and that you should be vigilant enough against the resurgence of militarist ideology and the rise of right-wing forces in your country. History is a frozen reality, reality is a fluid history, and the impact of yesterday's history education on Japan has already been revealed, and it is up to you to see where tomorrow's Japan will go. ”
Chen Feng's words were neither very indignant nor appeased, and while expressing his anger and worry, he also patted many Japanese people on the back, which can be said to be a very neutral answer.
The leaders of the propaganda group sitting on the rostrum nodded secretly when they heard Chen Feng's answer.
Next, Zhang Hui happened to click on the reporter of Fuji TV. The reporter had already been informed by the station in advance and knew that Chen Feng had agreed to be interviewed by their TV station, so he asked: "Long, first of all, please allow me to welcome and thank you on behalf of our Fuji TV station for your upcoming guest on our TV station tonight. Secondly, I would like to ask, do you have any Japanese artists that you admire, and how do you rate them?"
This question is naturally easy to answer, Chen Feng nodded slightly and said: "Thank you! Fuji TV is a very strong TV station, and I appreciate its communication philosophy and the neutral stance of the news media. When it comes to Japanese artists, I have a lot of favorites and admirers. First of all, like many people in China, I like Miss Sakai very much, her 'smile' has conquered many people in our country, and I am one of them, as well as her role in Xiaoxue in "Under the Same Roof", which makes me unforgettable to this day, and secondly, I have a deep influence on Miss 'Rika Akana', her bright smile and straightforward personality make me nostalgic for her to this day. ”
"Are there any singers you admire?" the reporter hurriedly added.
Chen Feng didn't care, so he smiled: "For singers or Japanese musicians, I admire Mr. Jean Hisaishi the most, his "Castle in the Sky" is one of my favorite music, and I also appreciate the music of Miss Ayumi Hamasaki. ”
The next reporter, a reporter from the British Times, did not ask Chen Feng questions, but asked Wang Qibo a few pointed questions about Beijing's environmental problems. This is understandable, as London is also one of Beijing's competitors in this Olympic bid. However, Wang Qibo had already prepared and gave a very relaxed answer, emphasizing that Beijing's environment was already improving.
Next, another reporter asked Deng Yaping, a famous Olympic athlete, about her recent living habits and her thoughts on serving as the ambassador for the Olympic bid.
Among them, some reporters once again asked Chen Feng some relatively mild gossip questions, and Chen Feng also answered them one by one.
Unconsciously, the press conference had come to an end, and Zhang Hui, as the host, reminded him: "The last question, this press conference will officially end. ”
After finishing speaking, he casually ordered a young male reporter with black-rimmed glasses who was sitting relatively far in the front.
But as the saying goes, people can't look good, this seemingly polite and polite Sven man, as soon as he opened his mouth, Zhang Hui and several other people on the rostrum secretly raised their vigilance, because he reported that his home was a reporter from the "Sankei Shimbun". The Sankei Shimbun is one of Japan's national newspapers, published by the Sankei Shimbun (Sankei Shimbun), a subsidiary of the Fuji Sankei Group. Its newspaper claims to have a daily circulation of 2.19 million, ranking sixth in Japan. Its predecessor was the "Nippon Kogyo Shimbun", which was founded by Hisakichi Maeda in Osaka on June 20, 1933 (Showa 8). The newspaper's propaganda slogan is "a newspaper that does not shy away from shying away, does not swarm in a swarm, and stresses the key points," and its stance is relatively conservative, with some people deriding it as a "salesman of the Liberal Democratic Party." At the same time, it is also a world-famous anti-China newspaper, which is known for often reporting some unfriendly remarks against China.
"Hello, long, I'm Yasuo Yuda, a reporter for the Sankei Shimbun, and I have reason to think that you are a patriotic young man with a strong nationalism and a kind of hostility towards our Japan. ”
This question is indeed sharp enough, and as soon as he opens his mouth, it seems to oppose Chen Feng and the people of the whole of Japan. Chen Feng naturally didn't like him, smiled slightly, and said with a determined expression: "This reporter from the Sankei Shimbun, I don't know where you can see that I have a hostile feeling towards you Japan? ”
Chen Feng's counterattack immediately caused applause and laughter from many people present. Chen Feng continued after a while: "One thing, I want to thank you, you said that I am a patriotic young man, this is a compliment to me, and I accept it. ”
His words caused a round of applause from everyone present. Chen Feng straightened his attitude again, and said sternly: "For Japan and the Japanese, to be honest, I admire it very much. Because you have created the second economic miracle in the world with this small land, and I am even more amazed by the discipline and overall national character of you Japanese people. I have been influenced by Japanese culture since I was a child, and I have watched a lot of Japanese anime and TV dramas, and I have the impression that Japan is an amazing country and the Japanese nation is an amazing whole. Neither Japan's enemies nor its friends can fail to admit this. Of course, I also admit that because of historical reasons, I have a deep disgust and antipathy for some people in Japan, especially the militarists and right-wing militants. I think it's because of you arrogant and arrogant people that you have ruined the outside world's perception of friendliness towards you Japanese. I think that the Japanese government and the Japanese people should strengthen exchanges with Asian countries, especially their neighboring countries, to enhance mutual understanding and seek common ground while reserving differences, so that the outside world can better understand Japan and improve their attitude toward Japan. ”
Chen Feng's words are naturally true, but in addition to hating Japanese militarists, Chen Feng also does not like those sanctimonious Japanese beasts, except for beautiful women, of course.
As soon as Chen Feng finished answering this question, Zhang Hui immediately announced in English: "This press conference is officially over, thank you for being there." ”
Some reporters who failed to obtain the right to ask questions were naturally not very desperate, and immediately crowded in front of the rostrum one by one, trying to ask Chen Feng questions. But everyone shouted and shouted, who could hear it clearly, and under the obstruction of the police and security guards at the scene, they couldn't get too close to Chen Feng.
Chen Feng just waved his hand at the reporters in a friendly manner, and then walked out of the hall backstage under the protection of the police and bodyguards.
After the press conference, the entire propaganda group entered the conference room. This time, head Wang Qibo praised Chen Feng's appearance at the press conference with great praise, especially the answer to the last sensitive question, which really made him appreciate it very much. He even had the illusion that if Chen Feng entered politics in the future, he would be a very qualified politician.
After the meeting, Chen Feng was once again left alone by several regiment leaders headed by Wang Qibo.
"Chen Feng, Japan is different from South Korea, and if you are going to do a program on their Fuji TV station tonight, you must not be negligent, especially on some sensitive issues of right and wrong. You have to remember that even if you refuse to answer, don't say anything that hurts the people of the two countries, and of course you can't say something spineless, you know?" Wang Qibo admonished.
"Understand, Chairman Wang, I will definitely pay attention. Chen Feng nodded solemnly.
Wang Qibo bowed his head with satisfaction and said to Zhang Hui: "Minister Zhang, you should keep an eye on the scene at that time, and if you feel that there is something wrong, you should remind him more, so as not to make mistakes." ”
"Well, don't worry, I'll keep an eye on it. Zhang Hui also answered seriously.
Wang Qibo had nothing to say, so he let the two of them go to rest first.
