"Uncle Song, just talk slowly, what's going on?"

Meng Zhe, who heard the news, was far calmer than Song Guixu expected.

The editor-in-chief of Xiao Meng is worthy of being the editor-in-chief of Xiao Meng, and he is not afraid of this kind of thing at all!

Song Guixu, who had already 'demitheized' Meng Zhe, praised it in his heart and said everything in a hurry: "Editor-in-chief Meng, things are like this......"

Here's the thing: In the issue of "Anime Shonen" just published two days ago, the editors selected thirteen short comics from the short stories received, and then Yao Feila, the short story reviewer of the month, selected five more comics and gave one of them the highest score called "Sea of Stars".

With the establishment of the short story reviewer system, the review of short stories, which was originally just a selection of manuscripts, has been gradually added to the scoring of short manga such as 'creativity', 'artwork', 'storyboard', 'characters', etc., and the writing of a brief review for each review of the short manuscript.

At the time of publication, the scoring forms of all the judges who selected the short story in the current issue, as well as the editors in charge who recommended the short story and the brief comments and complaints of the current short story reviewers, will be published in a special column of the magazine, "Manga Artist in Progress".

Because the comments of the editor-in-charge who recommend short stories are always very different from the comments of the reviewers of the current short films, this "cartoonist in progress" column has now firmly occupied the first place in the favorite column of the current issue of "Anime Boy", and the limelight has even overshadowed the "Variety City" founded by Meng Zhe...... This shows how popular this column is with readers.

But here's exactly the problem!

Yao Feila, the recommended editor and reviewer in charge of this issue, all scored almost full marks in "Sea of Stars", which is an unprecedented situation! It is conceivable that this situation is simply a large shock bomb in the eyes of readers!

Then, the master of the hidden dragon and crouching tiger hidden in the folk appeared, and a large express mail was sent to Tianjiao Society. After opening the envelope, Song Guixu was shocked to see that the express mail was full of evidence of plagiarism in "Sea of Stars"!

This master reader did not hesitate to cut and paste the suspected plagiarized part of "Sea of Stars" published in "Anime Boys" and the original content of the plagiarized object "Five Star Story" onto Kent paper, and then framed the location of all plagiarism with a red pen...... "Editor-in-chief Xiao Meng, if this matter is exposed, it will have a great impact on our magazine and our anime boys." President Kong, she has returned to Taiwan, and Editor-in-Chief Xiao Meng, you can't be contacted on the road again, and you're about to die! Just now, I and a few other team leaders were discussing how to cover up this matter, and we were halfway through the discussion......"

Although it is said that because Tianjiao Club has not been established for a long time, the atmosphere of seniority is not too strong. But after all, Song Guixu was the first old courtier to 'fight the country' with Meng Zhe and Kong Lan, and he was the leader of the editorial team, and he was even more diligent and hard-working in his work, so when the two giants of the magazine were not there, Song Guixu was given the right by Kong Lan to preside over the affairs of the regular period, which was a normal thing.

It's just that before Song Guixu finished speaking, he was interrupted by Meng Zhe in a strange tone, and Meng Zhe asked him: "Cover?" Why cover it? ”

"Editor-in-chief Xiao Meng, you may not know very well...... If you don't cover it, after the matter gets out, it will ruin the brand of our "Anime Boy" and damage the reputation of our Tianjiao Society! Now, those four 5155 companies like North Carolina are our anime teenagers, and they are eyeing our readers who want to rob us in their dreams...... So if they don't cover it, they will definitely make a fuss about it! ”

Song Guixu hurriedly explained that he felt that Meng Zhe didn't understand the situation, so he asked such a strange question.

It's a pity that Song Guixu wasted a lot of saliva to explain, but what he got was Meng Zhe's firm shake of his head.

"Uncle Song, have you thought about it, even if you cover it this time, what will happen in the future? What if this happens again in the future? ”

In Song Guixu's puzzled eyes, Meng Zhe asked slowly - plagiarism is such a thing, there will be a second time if you tolerate it once, how can you cover it up?

If you just imitate the characters or settings, and then create a new story by yourself, then it is still understandable and acceptable, and the newcomer who has just debuted is influenced by his favorite famous cartoonist, which is a very normal thing, but that "Sea of Stars" According to Song Guixu's situation, it is simply copying the whole sheet!

This kind of plagiarism is too bad!

Meng Zhe, a reborn person, was only cautiously drawing future comics, and then began to draw his original comic "Stupid Guardian of the Three Kingdoms...... Even, Meng Zhe even returned the Hokage and One Piece, who could have been painted by him and then gained fame and money, to Kishimoto Saishi and Oda Eiichiro.

Meng Zhe never thought that he would change the comics that have now appeared on the market and release them as his own works!

Because in doing so, there is no lower limit to character...... Although Song Guixu is not Meng Zhe, he is also a good person with a lower limit of character, so Meng Zhe's question made him speechless, and he moved his lips but couldn't say anything.

"Therefore, not only can this matter not be covered, but it must also be exposed with great fanfare! We want to let our readers and those dream eaters who are interested in taking refuge clearly know that our Tianjiao Club and anime teenagers have a tolerance for plagiarism - zero! ”

Since Song Guixu couldn't speak, Meng Zhe was going to continue, and he expressed his thoughts very clearly.

At this time, Yao Feila, who was in trouble, and the editor in charge of the author of "Sea of Stars" had also arrived in front of Meng Zhe.

After listening to Meng Zhe's categorical words, the two obviously showed ashamed expressions, but then Yao Feila expressed his deep reflection on this matter: "I'm sorry Mr. Jiji, in fact, when I reviewed the "Sea of Stars", I vaguely felt that it was somewhat similar to "Five Star Story", but I didn't take this as a thing at all, but I also felt that this author was very talented and well adapted. So the responsibility for this is all on me......"

Meng Zhe is very pleased with Yao Feila's sincere attitude of admitting mistakes, just like the brand awareness of the Celestial Empire is still very weak in this era, and intellectual property rights are also not valued by people, it is not surprising that Yao Feila has this kind of thought.

"Da Yao, if you encounter this kind of problem in the future, think about it more - if the other party plagiarizes the whole picture from Da Yao's comics, what will you do?"

Although he was very pleased, Meng still verbally criticized Yao Feila.

After criticizing Yao Feila, Meng Zhe didn't wait for Yao Feila to admit his mistake again, so he turned his head to Song Guixu and ordered: "Uncle Song, convene a meeting of the team leaders of "Anime Boys", huh...... Let Zeng Yu, who is in charge of "Light Novel", also come over to listen. ”

When something happens, a meeting is held to discuss and study, praise and praise, criticize and criticize, and then make a decision based on the principle of open-boil centralization, which is also a normal internal process for handling incidents.

Of course, the general understanding of Mingzhuo concentration or something is that the top leader has the final say.

In Tianjiao Society, the top leaders who have the final say are Kong Lan and Meng Zhe, and Meng Zhe doesn't think there's anything wrong with him having the final say, because as a reborn, he grasps the context of the times and understands the trend of history.

So, half an hour later, the results of the handling of this plagiarism incident came out:

First, in the next issue of "Anime Boys", publish those plagiarism comparison charts, and sincerely apologize to readers for this plagiarism incident.

Second, the author of "Sea of Stars" confirms that the remuneration for the plagiarized part will be deducted in full, and this part of the money will be made up by Tianjiao Club as an integer and distributed to the master reader as a bonus.

Third, I would like to express my sincerest apologies to the author of "Five Star Story" by Nagano Go.

Fourth, the works of the author of "Sea of Stars" will never be used by Tianjiao Society in the future!

Fifth, the establishment of the 'Anti-Plagiarism Review Association', welcome all enthusiastic readers and friends who are interested in making "Anime Boys" and maintain their original surnames join the club.

Sixth...... Well, there's no sixth.

The editor-in-charge of "Sea of Stars" and Yao Feila both received a verbal criticism at the meeting, and the result was slightly lenient, but if this kind of thing happened next time, Meng Zhe would not be so soft-the author who served as the reviewer of the short story would be fine, but the editor who was not strictly reviewed would be jointly and severally responsible!

After the meeting, Meng Zhe assigned the leaders of each editorial group to go back to convey the spirit of the meeting to the editorial team members under his command...... Well, Meng Zhe feels like a legendary bureaucrat.

But, it's not okay not to do this, the small meeting just now was to take care of Yao Feila's face, and Yao Feila, who was serializing a hot feature, couldn't admit his mistake and apologize in front of everyone, right? That's too much to hurt people's face...... After dealing with the plagiarism incident, Meng Zhe, who had no one at home so no place to go, simply called Yao Feila, the new editor in charge who made a mistake, and found a restaurant for a light meal. At the dinner table, Meng Zhe had another earnest conversation with Yao Feila, and after reassuring Yao Feila that nothing would involve him in the follow-up, and that Yao Feila would be relieved to paint, Yao Feila, who was depressed, returned to normal slightly.

Of course, Meng Zhe, the editor in charge who made mistakes, didn't say too many good things, and he asked the new editor in charge to read more comics after he went back - Tianjiao Society has now built a large comic collection room, which is full of all kinds of comic magazines and single books.

After dinner, Meng Zhe originally planned to go to his 'Jiji Animation Studio' to have a look, but when he walked to the door of Tianjiao Society, he was stopped by the two people who were waiting for him, Kishimoto Saishi and Oda Eiichiro.

"Mr. Jiji, I've finished drawing a short story!"

"Mr. Jiji, I've drawn a long story and done the first two words!"
