Chapter 70: To add insult to injury

Generally speaking, the regular meeting of the magazine "Shonen Weekly" is held on Monday morning, so it is quite rare to hold an emergency meeting in the afternoon after the regular meeting.

So in the conference room, the editors are whispering to each other, after all, they are all leaving their work to come to the conference room, saying that it is impossible to have no ideas, after all, every editor has a lot of things to deal with - no one wants to work overtime.

As the editor-in-chief of the meeting, Su Zixuan was late at this time, and he was accompanied by a middle-aged man in a suit and leather shoes, looking at Su Zixuan's attitude towards him, it is not difficult to know that he should be a higher-level leader in the elite media.

Let the middle-aged man sit close to him, Su Zixuan stood in front of the projection screen and coughed to silence the editors present, and then said: "I'm sorry, I summoned you to the conference room at this time, because the situation is urgent, so I won't talk nonsense, I believe you also know that the popularity of "Death Note" has risen in the past two days, and the popularity is terrible, which is a good thing, but also a bad thing, the problem is like this......"

Concisely and clearly explained the current state of affairs to the editors present, Su Zixuan added with a heavy face: "The situation is really urgent now, and I can't think of a solution for a while, so I hope you can brainstorm ideas, "Death Note" is very important to our "Juvenile Weekly", if you can, you must not give up so easily." ”

There was silence in the conference room for a while, after all, they were all people inside the magazine, and they naturally hoped that their unit would get better and better, but if there was such a problem, how could it be so easy to come up with a solution? Therefore, everyone present frowned and pondered, without saying a word.

At this moment, the middle-aged man who walked into the conference room with Su Zixuan opened his mouth and asked, "Zixuan, listen to your tone, the problem is mainly in the surroundings?" ”

His thinking is simple, the biggest problem with "Death Note" is that it misleads immature teenagers, and the embodiment of their misdirection is that they will write the name of the person they hate on the Death Note as a periphery, if that is the case......

"Wouldn't it be nice not to make merchandise for Death Note?" He summed it up this way.

After all, the world is very copyright-conscious, and if there is no authorization, there will basically be no peripheral products related to "Death Note".

Hearing this, Su Zixuan was a little helpless: "Minister Zheng, having said that, how high do you think the copyright awareness of minors can be?" And the production of Death Note's peripheral notebooks is so simple, as long as you buy a black notebook and write Death Note on the cover, even if it is basically completed, it is completely possible for children to make it and play with it. ”

"Hmm...... Indeed, I was negligent. Minister Zheng touched his chin and nodded, continuing to ponder.

And according to the popularity of "Death Note", the peripheral producers will come to the door sooner or later, and if they refuse their requests, it will be a self-defeat.

Of course, Su Zixuan said this in his heart, the middle-aged man next to him was his top boss.

"So, please change the direction of the current topic?"

One editor said, holding up his hand.

It's true that if the topic of the Internet can be diverted, maybe Death Note will still have a chance of survival, but ......

"No, there are too many people discussing "Death Note" now, to exaggerate, it is about to become a national topic, because it involves justice and evil, which is exactly what netizens are talking about, and the water army has no way to compete with so many people, unless there is another major national event now, it is estimated that the current topic can be diverted." Su Zixuan still vetoed it, "But it should have a little effect, so let's arrange this matter as soon as the meeting is dismissed, everyone, can you think of any other way?" ”

"Editor-in-Chief Su, how can it be so easy to think, don't you know what virtues the General Administration of Animation and Culture is above?" The other deputy editor-in-chief spread his hands and looked sad.

After all, ACG culture is now prevalent, and the state attaches great importance to it, so this department focused on reviewing animation-related works was deliberately set up, and since its establishment, this department has adhered to the style of preferring to kill mistakes and never let go, which has made many people complain.

Su Zixuan was also aware of this matter, so he was so helpless at this time.

Is it possible to communicate directly with someone from the General Administration of Animation and Culture? Don't make a fuss, if it was really useful, someone would have done it a long time ago, he is just a small editor-in-chief, powerless and powerless, how can it be so easy to win privileges from the people of that institution, unless the elite media behind his own magazine comes forward.

However, will Yingcai Media put pressure on the State Administration of Animation and Culture for the sake of a manga? In the past, it has always been a relationship of hello, me, and everyone, how can it suddenly change.

So let's save it for your dreams.

At this moment, Weng Ruyu pushed the door with a dark face and walked into the conference room, walked to Su Zixuan's side and whispered.

Suddenly, Su Zixuan could no longer maintain his usual attitude of being confident in everything, and slammed his fist on the conference stage, and then tried to recover his emotions, calmed himself down a little, and slowly spoke: "Tell you a very bad news, there is just a news on the Internet, about "Death Note". ”

"The children of a high-ranking official in the magic capital made a Death Note by themselves, and then wrote the names of their teachers, classmates and parents on it, which had a very bad impact."

"Now the topic on the Internet has indeed shifted, but it has moved to a more unfavorable place, everyone, do you have any more reliable solutions?"

Sitting down a little tired, Su Zixuan felt that he had really experienced ups and downs during this time.

It's rare to have a topical comic, and it has a very high popularity under its own operation, but the good times didn't last long, and it didn't take long to cause such a problem.

Who can blame this?

Did the ghost of the resentful Sanshan conceive such a expressive plot? Or do you complain that Mikawa's brilliant painters sublimated this work? Or do you blame the netizens who started discussions because they like this work?

I can't complain.

"Death Note" is definitely a masterpiece, he still believes in it, and he does not regret giving it so many resources to promote.

However, such an ending...... He wasn't convinced! What else can he do but scold the bear child a few times?

Let's just hope that the situation doesn't get worse any longer.

On this day, the emergency meeting of the "Shonen Weekly" ended in silence.
