Chapter 279: Debate
Zou Xuan had long expected such a voice, and hurriedly explained: "So we investigated the suspicion of hyping up the incident and found that this is not the case! Yin Xueli's company also had a dispute with her for this, accusing her of violating the contract by announcing her relationship without authorization. I think it's a topic worth exploring – what is the balance between personal and commercial interests as an entertainment star?"
"But in the end, this is only a niche group after all, and there is no wide representation, so I don't think it's necessary to discuss it on a media platform like ours!" The director of the current affairs and news department is a middle-aged man with a serious face, perhaps because he usually has more contact with important members of the agency, and he also has a similar temperament.
His opinion drew a nod of approval from many.
Someone added: "If this is abroad, it can be regarded as lace news at best! Have you ever seen the New York Times publish lace news? Haha......
Some people even laughed and said: "To be honest, I have always felt that our newspaper should not open an entertainment section! Entertainment reporters in Hong Kong and Taiwan, aren't people giving nicknames to paparazzi? Hehe, they are stalking and secretly taking pictures everywhere, and if they are not careful, they will damage the image of the newspaper office, and by the way, the entire profession of reporters will be affected!"
"Yes, in the end, it's thankless, and in the end I can't write any decent manuscript, but I just rely on reprinting and editing, and the article that I put together is honestly not readable, so I might as well give up the layout to us......"
In the face of one after another suppression and condemnation, Zou Xuan was speechless. She bit her lower lip tightly, holding a bad breath in her heart, but after all, the other party was so powerful that she couldn't refute it at all.
At this time, Zou Xuan's heart was desolate, and he said secretly: "Sure enough, this will be the case! I should have known that there would be no good fruit to eat, but why can't I still help but use my brain and hands? Why can't I just eat like them and wait for death? Hehe...... It seems that I am still not suitable for this profession! If this manuscript can't be published today, I think I'd better cover it up and leave!"
Suddenly hearing such a heartfelt voice, Ma Fei was unexpected, and inexplicably felt a little sorry for this sister.
Although I haven't read the manuscript she wrote, I have personally felt the environment she is in, and I have seen her work attitude and professionalism with my own eyes, Ma Fei can imagine that her works will not be so unbearable!
But why do these people still criticize mercilessly? Is it really because Zou Xuan has no background and is a "dispensable" person?
The more he thought about it, the more Ma Fei wanted to pull out his sword to help. Because it reminded him of the situation he was in.
As he spoke, Kong Wei also expressed his opinion: "Everyone, be quiet! I personally feel that Director Zou has really put in the effort and heart, and the final manuscript will not be as worthless as everyone said! From the perspective of news alone, I think this incident is still worth reporting. In this way, I propose that half of the page be reserved for the Sports and Entertainment Department for the first time......"
"Mr. Kong! How can that work? I just added it, and tomorrow's page is almost full, if we squeeze out half of the page, what will we do with our manuscript?"
"Yes, there is also the investigation draft of our Ministry of Finance and Economics, which is the hard work of everyone for a long time, and if there is a deletion, it will definitely affect the morale of the team!"
Before Kong Wei's words fell, the two directors of the Ministry of Current Affairs and the Ministry of Finance and Economics took the lead in jumping out and choking.
As if to keep up with everyone's rhythm, Chen Dong, director of the Social Department, also echoed: "Hehe, no way, there are too many blockbuster manuscripts today, and it is really important to score priorities!"
"Director Chen is right! Throughout the ages, not all dramas have been an industry that has not entered the stream, and who cares about people who really care about news cares about how they eat, drink, and sleep every day?"
"Haha, if you publish such news all day long, then you really smash your own signboard!"
The continuous opposition finally made Ma Fei unable to sit still.
Clearing his throat, he stood up a little abruptly: "Director Dong, what you said is simply ridiculous! What age is this, how can you still look at people with such colored glasses?"
By name, he directly named Dong Hua, director of the Current Affairs and Information Department.
Dong Hua was stunned for a moment, he never expected that a fledgling recruit would dare to sing against him, and sneered: "Who should I be!
The exaggerated tone caused a burst of laughter from the people around him.
"Does Assistant Ma feel that he has been promoted, and is he finally qualified to preach in front of our old men?
Dong Hua regarded Ma Fei's words as a provocation, so he unceremoniously sneered.
Ma Fei was not stage frightened, and said with a smile: "Let's talk about the opening of the class, I have to think about the fee, hehe...... Director Dong, I'm just talking about things - I think what you just said about looking down on 'drama' reflects your narrow viewpoint. Isn't it true that we do media to satisfy the curiosity and thirst of the audience? In other words, what they are interested in, we try to report, right?"
Of course, Dong Hua knew that he was right, but because of the mutual accusation just now, he was unwilling to admit it at this time.
It was Kong Wei who took the lead in responding: "Comrade Xiaoma is right! Hehe, today everyone will discuss things and discuss work first, don't hurt your anger because of this! Xiaoma, you go on." ”
Given the rare opportunity to speak, Ma Fei continued: "Coincidentally, I happened to read the reader survey of our Metropolis Daily some time ago. The data shows that more and more young people are becoming our main audience. In contrast, they prefer news articles that are widely disseminated, topical, and more resonant!
"And I think that entertainment journalism just meets all of the above elements, and as long as the material is properly selected, it can become a blockbuster work that attracts readers! If there is such an achievement, is it a bit too hasty for us to cut off our own arms?"
These words are reasonable, and most of the people present can silently agree in their hearts, but they refuse to show it. Everyone is watching the situation.
Dong Hua became the opponent of this debate, so he naturally didn't want to admit defeat easily, and sneered: "If you want to say that, many readers still prefer to read the gossip news of third-rate tabloids, but why don't you see that those tabloids sell better than our metropolitan newspapers?"
With such a quibble, Ma Fei couldn't laugh or cry.
Dong Hua only thought that he was running out of words, so he took advantage of the victory and pursued: "The media has always played the role of educating and enlightening the people! For example, our manuscript today has an in-depth interpretation of the changes in the provident fund policy, which is related to almost everyone's vital interests. Wouldn't that make a lot more sense than entertainment journalism with a narrow audience?"
