Japanese big things

Chapter 151 Public Relations

"Good morning, good morning."

Stepping into the editorial office of "Weekly POST", Aoyama Xiangji greeted each colleague in the department in turn. His energetic posture and his greasy appearance of a middle-aged man formed a great atmosphere.

The contrast.

"Good morning, good morning."

As for Aoyama Shoji's enthusiasm, his colleagues gave a perfunctory response as always. Compared with Aoyama Shoji who was full of energy, these colleagues seemed to be sluggish.

However, this is also the norm in the industry. Those who can truly maintain a state of full energy at all times are the outliers in the industry. Well, this is the kind of person who can't read the air.

"Is there any big news today?"

Aoyama Xiangji put his briefcase on the workstation, then stretched out his hand to pull out the chair, and sat down directly. Perhaps the force of sitting down was a little stronger, which made the chair creak under the load.<

/p>

"It's time to replace this chair. It might fall apart one day."

"You should talk to the editor-in-chief about this. As long as he nods in agreement, let alone getting a new chair, even a salary increase will be fine."

There was a joking smile on the face of the colleague, and he was quite scornful of Aoyama Xiangji's idea, but he said in an encouraging tone: "When the time comes, there may be a possibility of promotion."

"Promotion? I'm afraid you're overthinking it! It's great if you can keep your job, but how dare you expect to be promoted?"

Naturally, Aoyama Xiangji would not buy into the instigation of his colleagues. He is not a newbie who has just entered the workplace, so how can he be so easy to be fooled into being used as a weapon?

Since the economic bubble burst, Japan's economic development has stagnated, and the employment situation in the entire society has suddenly become severe.

Aoyama Xiangji is actually very satisfied to be able to keep this well-paying editorial job in a generally poor economic environment. As for other ideas, he can only think about them at most.

"Well, everyone is here already?"

Suddenly, the door to the editor-in-chief's office was opened, and then his thin figure appeared at the door. He glanced at everyone, and then greeted everyone: "Come to my office, let's have a meeting to discuss it.

."

"Hi."

Aoyama Xiangji and his colleagues looked at each other and looked at each other for a while: I don’t know what the editor-in-chief wanted to say in the meeting? Could it be about performance?

After putting down their work, everyone stood up and left their workstations one after another, then entered the editor-in-chief's office one by one, and then sat on the sofa respectfully.

"As for the matters discussed today, I hope everyone can comply with the confidentiality requirements."

The editor moved a few steps, and then closed the door forcefully. Then, he walked to the desk, reached for an envelope, took out a stack of photos, and distributed them to everyone one by one.

p>

"If someone leaks the information privately, then don't blame me for being unkind."

Seeing that the editor-in-chief had a straight face and a serious expression that didn't look like he was faking it, everyone couldn't help but feel curious: It must be no small matter for the editor-in-chief to be so cautious?

"Hi."

They responded uniformly, and everyone looked down at the photos distributed in their hands. On the photo, they saw a strong bearded man with a particularly eye-catching greasy smile, holding a young girl in his arms, showing the same expression.

With a smile.

The two people behaved intimately, and it was clear at first glance that their relationship was not simple. No one knew the identity of the girl, but the greasy bearded man looked familiar, and everyone recognized each other at a glance.

After all, I work in the media industry, and I am very familiar with famous people in the entertainment industry. Even behind-the-scenes figures like Katsuo Fukuzawa, everyone knows them well.

Everyone has heard about Katsuo Fukuzawa's romantic affair. It's not like they haven't thought of exposing the other party before, but Katsuo Fukuzawa hid it very well. They didn't catch the real deal, so naturally they didn't dare to act rashly.

After all, "Weekly POST" is not an ordinary gossip tabloid. It is not impossible to make reports based on rumors, but if there is no solid evidence, it will be very harmful to the credibility of the magazine, and the gain will not be worth the loss.

Of course it doesn't matter to ordinary gossip tabloids. In order to win sales and performance, they will do whatever they can to stir up hot topics and attract attention. No matter how they report, it will do.

"Weekly POST" cannot do that. As a formal media newspaper, everything must be based on factual evidence. Otherwise, if someone counter-sues and has to apologize in the end, wouldn't it become a joke?

"Editor-in-Chief, Fukuzawa Katsuo must have offended someone, right?"

After reading the photos in his hands, Aoyama Xiangji turned his head and glanced at the photos in the hands of his colleagues. Although the contents were different, the protagonists were basically Katsuo Fukuzawa, which made him have some thoughts in his mind.
"We followed and photographed him so many times before, but we couldn't catch him. But now that so many pictures have been taken, someone must be targeting Katsuo Fukuzawa."

Isn't this an obvious fact? Even the professional photographers couldn't find any evidence. As a result, there are so many real photos, which clearly shows that someone is specifically targeting Katsuo Fukuzawa.

"That's true. It is said that TBS TV station's Taiwan celebration drama is in preparation, and the person to supervise it seems to have not been decided yet."

A colleague immediately agreed with Aoyama Aoji's opinion, and based on the internal information of TBS TV station, he speculated: "Katsuo Fukuzawa is a senior supervisor of TBS TV station, and has the highest probability of winning. It should be his competitor who did it."

"If we go by this calculation, the biggest suspect should be Tanazawa Takayoshi."

Someone then analyzed it and based on the principle of the greatest suspicion of the beneficiary, Takayoshi Tanazawa was decisively listed as the biggest target. As for Masahiro Nakamura, they were obviously ignored.

According to common sense, Nakamura Masahiro has relatively junior qualifications and is an external competitor from a local TV station. He will definitely not be able to challenge internal direct descendants such as Fukuzawa Katsuo and Tanazawa Takayoshi.

"No, Takayoshi Tanazawa doesn't seem like someone who would engage in such tactics."

Some people raised objections and felt that Tanazawa Takayoshi's suspicion was overestimated. Although there was relatively little contact, everyone was actually quite familiar with Tanazawa Takayoshi.

"That's the qualification to direct a Taiwanese celebration drama. Isn't it normal to resort to tricks for such an opportunity?"

Some people also say that people's hearts are complex, and when faced with temptation, they often make decisions that are inconsistent with their true intentions. After all, people die for money, and birds die for food.

"Okay, don't say anything anymore."

The editor stretched out his hand to stop everyone's gossip, with a serious expression on his face. He walked back and forth a few steps, as if thinking, then turned to everyone and said: "We are a media reporting news, and we don't need to analyze it.

Reason."

"In any case, the evidence that Katsuo Fukuzawa paid for sex is now solid. This is an iron-clad fact."

Having said this, the editor-in-chief paused for a moment, looked up at the crowd, and continued in a warning tone: "As a conscientious media, we need to let the people know this fact."

Resisting the urge to roll his eyes, Aoyama Xiangji and his colleagues complained internally: As a media that mainly reports entertainment news, talking about topics like conscience is nonsense.

Of course, even though they were complaining in their hearts, everyone was still cooperative and submissive on the surface: as long as they still wanted to hang out in the club, no one would dare to step out and be a thorn in the side.

"Aoyama, where's the report about Katsuo Fukuzawa? I'll leave him to you."

After looking at the editors under his command, the editor-in-chief looked back and forth, and finally fixed his eyes on Aoyama Xiangji.

"You keep these photos, and I will hand over all the evidence I receive later to you."

Hearing what the editor said, all the colleagues put down the photos in their hands and looked at Aoyama Xiangji with eyes full of envy and jealousy.

Although the report on Katsuo Fukuzawa's prostitution is not a blockbuster news, as long as it is done well, it can achieve good results. And the person in charge of the report will naturally not lose his qualifications and income.

"Editor-in-Chief, would you like to contact Katsuo Fukuzawa?"

Regardless of the mood of his colleagues, Aoyama Xiangji asked the editor if he needed to contact Katsuo Fukuzawa as the person involved in advance.

According to the practice of the media industry, when conducting relevant negative news reports, we will contact the parties or their agencies in advance to allow the other party time for public relations.

As long as the price is right, the negative news will be suppressed and will not appear in the report. If the negative news still breaks out, either the price has not been negotiated, or the two parties have broken up.

"There is no need to contact you, just report it."

The editor-in-chief understood Aoyama Xiangji's thoughts and said to him directly without any hesitation: "If we don't report it first, these photos will be displayed in the offices of other magazines in less than two days."

"Hi, I understand."

Hearing the editor-in-chief's words, Aoyama Xiangji felt a shiver in his heart. He understood that these photos were not exclusively provided. If he chose to suppress the report, other magazines would also report it, so there was no point in public relations.

Coming out of the editor-in-chief's office, Aoyama Shoji was thinking about how to report on Fukuzawa Katsuo. He chose to turn a deaf ear to the congratulations and envy of his colleagues.

Because Katsuo Fukuzawa is a senior direct supervisor of TBS TV station, many news reports related to TBS TV series inevitably have to deal with Katsuo Fukuzawa.

From the bottom of his heart, Aoyama Aoji did not agree with the editor's direct report. But the editor's decision was undoubtedly correct. Even if Fukuzawa Katsuo's public relations was allowed to suppress the report, it was just giving up the opportunity to report.

"Moses Moses, may I ask, is this Supervisor Katsuo Fukuzawa?"

After thinking about it for a while, Aoyama Xiangji returned to his work station, found Fukuzawa Katsuo's contact information, and quietly called him.

"I am Aoyama Aji, the editor of "Weekly POST", and I have something to talk to you about."
