Bab 401: Backstabbing
"This documentary is obviously fake, it has no reference value at all! It's a complete advertisement. All viewers, please open your eyes and don't easily believe in this kind of staged performance!"
On the third day of the documentary's broadcast, several newspapers once again published comments from those screenwriters.
These screenwriters vigorously criticized the documentary, while condemning the shamelessness of Gamestar Electronic Entertainment for abusing people's sympathy to produce such a staged documentary, which completely violates the fairness and truthfulness that a documentary should have.
These screenwriters simply don't believe that what the documentary portrays is real.
Especially the scene where someone defends themselves, that's just absurd.
After all, they have all worked on legal dramas.
But sometimes reality can be more exaggerated than drama.
Shortly after these screenwriters somewhat angrily published their comments, similar discussions began to appear on the internet.
Some people sided with the documentary, believing it to be a very touching one.
The stories of the underdogs, even if they're just children, being able to use logic to their advantage, can achieve unexpected gains and even fight against their unfair fate.
This is the most simple grassroots resistance mentality in the hearts of ordinary people.
So they believe these stories are all real.
Of course, there are also dissenters who think this is too far-fetched.
The story of children playing house may be put aside, as it lacks credibility. But the second story, where someone defends themselves and finally gains an advantage, is highly unlikely to happen.
If such a huge impact can really be achieved just because of a game, then everyone wouldn't need lawyers anymore, they could just play games.
People believe that a normal courtroom defense must involve verbal sparring, must be confrontational, just like a duel between two master swordsmen.
What they say makes sense, of course.
But in fact, this is just an inconspicuous malicious assault case, not even involving life, just a small case.
The grandiose courtroom defense scenarios imagined by people are simply impossible in such a small case.
Moreover, such cases are usually publicized online nowadays, and soon someone found this case. Then they discovered that exactly the same thing as in the documentary actually happened, the defendant and the lawyer joined forces to defend themselves, and finally gained an advantage in the latest defense, greatly reducing their suspicion.
This caused quite a stir.
Having real cases and not having them have completely different effects.
Even those who were not interested in video games suddenly wanted to play this game.
This once again led to a rapid increase in sales of the "Ace Attorney" game.
And these increased game players are mostly people who hardly touched video games before.
Discussions about the "Ace Attorney" game and TV drama also appeared on the internet, as well as some surveys about the "Ace Attorney" game.
Surprisingly, among the participants in the survey and discussion, there were actually quite a few real lawyers.
Lawyers in Japan are considered to be an upper-class group, with a status similar to bankers. Normally, their profession gives ordinary people a feeling of admiration.
And they unexpectedly unanimously supported the "Ace Attorney" game.
In their mouths, although the "Ace Attorney" game has some absurdities, such as the false spiritual medium, they don't believe in gods and only trust themselves, so they disdain such things.
But they also have to admit that such a presentation makes it easier for ordinary people to empathize with the perspective of lawyers.
Apart from the supernatural phenomena of talking to ghosts, the exaggerated performances of courtroom defense also made them somewhat uncomfortable. But precisely because of such performances, more people have become genuinely interested in the profession of lawyers.
Now, some children who have played "Ace Attorney" with lawyers around them have expressed genuine interest in becoming lawyers.
And it's not because they've been attracted by the so-called high income of lawyers, but because they've been attracted by the powerful and forceful debates of lawyers.
The children discovered that verbal sparring can also be cool.
One well-known lawyer in the legal industry even expressed sincere gratitude for this game.
Because of this game, his son, who was originally not interested in the legal profession at all, suddenly said he wanted to become a lawyer and was willing to do his best to become a lawyer who upholds justice.
He used to be worried about not being able to inherit his father's business, but now he doesn't have to worry about it anymore.
The effect of this documentary is much better than Takayuki had expected.
However, Takayuki seriously suspects that perhaps it was the criticism from those screenwriters that made this documentary more noticeable, and it unexpectedly received a reaction they hadn't anticipated.
Originally, Takayuki had prepared some countermeasures, but now they probably won't be necessary.
By the fifth week, the "Ace Attorney" game successfully became popular, even attracting interviews from some official media.
The Japanese government funded the invitation of several well-known lawyers in Japan to participate in the program, personally discussing the social effects brought about by the "Ace Attorney" game.
And the program was broadcasted on NHK television station.
The NHK headquarters didn't have much reaction, it was just a talk show, and it was funded by the Japanese government.
But those screenwriters felt uncomfortable.
They had been working so hard to maintain their ratings dominance battlefield, never letting the "Ace Attorney" TV drama betray them. But they never expected that NHK, their own home, would betray them.
Of course, there is no unity within NHK TV station.
Each department has its own performance requirements.
The television drama department and the news media department have no hierarchical relationship, so the news program broadcasting department naturally gave their own people a sharp betrayal.
The interview program was scheduled for Thursday night, and several well-known lawyers in the legal industry actually volunteered to appear, even if they didn't get paid. These big-name lawyers originally looked down on the appearance fee for attending the show, but they just happened to be able to increase their fame through this program.
This made those NHK's old-screenplay writers almost suffocate with anger.
This is simply a humiliation.
They never expected that the more they tried to belittle the video game and the unruly TV drama, the more attention they attracted.
And you big lawyers, you are so spineless. Haven't you all claimed that this game and the TV drama of the same name are very unrealistic?
Why would you, as professionals, support such things that lack authenticity? It's simply out of line!
