BPO headquarters, in an office.

Makoto Takagi and Akino Kawano and Kondo Kazuto, the vice-chief of the TV station, met the relevant person in charge, Shinhide Egawa.

Originally, Takagi Makoto was still a little worried about whether the BPO people would be unfriendly, but this is not the case.

Shinhide Egawa warmly entertained, invited the three of them to sit down and serve tea to the three of them. He also took the initiative to explain: "President Kawano, President Takagi, and Vice-President Kondo, sorry, we had no choice but to criticize the previous article. There are too many people complaining. After all, we have to be accountable to the public, we have to give them an explanation, and we can’t do without knowing what to do.”

"Understandable." Akino Kawano responded on behalf of the three.

Shinyoung Jiang sighed: "Actually, I have seen your animation. It is not a big problem to put it on the late night file. However, the magical girl animation itself gives people a sense of sublime, and your people are biased. Young, it is easy for children to be interested, which will lead to complaints."

After a pause, he said: "If it is another subject matter, the character image of a normal high school student, then it should be placed on the late night stall, and there should be no complaints. Even if we are complained, we can open one eye and close one. Eyes...Of course, the main reason is that your animations are too popular. There are too many people watching it. It's hard not to be complained."

"It is true that we didn't think about it at the beginning, but the animation has been broadcast to this stage, and we can't overturn and redo it." Kawano Akino expressed his own difficulties.

"I dare not let you overthrow it and do it again."

Jiangchuan Shinhyo shook his head slightly, "This animation is very successful. Maybe it will become a classic animation that can keep its name in the history of animation. If it really needs to be overthrown and redone, maybe we won't be able to achieve such a result. Then we might not know. You will become a sinner, and you will be in the annals of animation forever. Besides, even if we ask for it, you probably won't agree to it."

Akino Kawano didn't respond, which was acquiescence.

On the other side, Kondo Kazuto, the TV station’s deputy chief, couldn’t help but asked, “What do you think Jiangchuan-san should do next?”

"Off the air."

Jiangchuan Jinying replied, "Tell you the truth. We have posted criticisms here. You continue to broadcast and continue the previous style. This makes our BPO very difficult to handle, and it is not easy to explain to the public. Of course, also It’s not that you want to stop the broadcast indefinitely. You can choose to broadcast it online, or you can slow down, and after some time has passed, the last two episodes will be broadcast."

"Does it have to be stopped?" Kondo Kazuto frowned.

Kawano Akino said: "The content of our last two episodes is very positive and full of positive energy. This time we come to visit, we have also brought the storyboard of the last two episodes. You can take a look first. "

After speaking, he gestured to Makoto Takagi with his eyes.

Makoto Takagi hurriedly took out the storyboard of the last two words in the briefcase, but he was quickly stopped by Shinhyo Egawa: "President Kawano said that, I am willing to believe it, but the public may not be willing to believe it. Moreover, the current situation is that the public hopes that our BPO can do something, otherwise our existence will be of no value."

"Is there no room for negotiation?" Kawano Akino asked solemnly.

Jiangchuan Jinying did not answer.

Kazuto Kondo pondered slightly, and asked, "If instead of stopping the broadcast, but delaying the eleventh episode by one week, will it be played together with the twelfth episode?"

"Do you postpone it?" Jiangchuan Jinying thought about it seriously.

After a while he replied: "For us, stopping the broadcast is the best. Even if the broadcast is to be postponed, it will have to be delayed by one month."

"In other words, can't it be considered?"

"I can't make a decision about this. I have to ask our president for advice."

"Then trouble you."

...

During the whole conversation, Makoto Takagi didn't say a word. Until he left the BPO headquarters, he couldn't help but ask: "The content of the last two words is really positive. Do you really need to listen to them? We insist on broadcasting, but they can't help us, right?"

"That's right."

Kazuto Kondo nodded, and soon changed the conversation: "Although this is the case, the face of BPO still needs to be given. Otherwise, as long as our TV station’s programs are slightly out of line in the future, they may be targeted by BPO. It will only be more troublesome."

After explaining, he bowed and apologized to Takagi Makoto and Kawano Akino: "Sorry, let you cooperate with us. As compensation, we will use certain publicity resources to promote the last two words of this animation."

Akino Kawano waved his hand: "Let's see if it can be played normally after a week delay."

In fact, in another world, the last two episodes of the animation "Magic Girl Madoka Magica" are also postponed, and it’s not as simple as one week, but one month, originally in March 2011. , Abruptly dragged on until late April.

Even, the official announcement at the beginning was not an extension of the broadcast, but a suspension of the broadcast. Although it was scheduled to be re-broadcasted at Station N later, it was quickly renamed "indefinitely stop the broadcast".

In late April, after deleting part of the content, the last two episodes were rebroadcast on TV, and the unbroadcast parts were made up in BD and DVD.

Of course, the reason for the suspension is not because of pressure from the BPO, but because of "self-preservation."

Because in another world, "Magic Girl Madoka Magica" was originally scheduled to be broadcast in the quarter from January to March 2011, but after the tenth episode, the island country suffered a major earthquake and the disaster was very serious. The Governor of Tokyo also issued a "Self-Personal Request".

The producer of "Magic Girl Madoka Magica" stopped broadcasting for this reason.

As for whether there is any influence from BPO, it’s not clear. It’s just that after the announcement of the suspension, various rumors were flying in the air. The biggest one was that the ending was changed too badly. This rumor also led to the island animation’s biggest in recent years. Topic" appears.

In this world Takagi lives in, there was no such big earthquake in 2011. It is still December 2012. It is impossible for him to play "Magic Girl Madoka Magica" at this time, and the earthquake will also happen at this time. Therefore, there is no reason to stop the broadcast of "self-preservation".

Fortunately, because of this, the last two episodes of "Magic Girl Madoka Magica" do not need to be postponed for a month.

Just look at the BPO and disagree. If you agree, it will be postponed for a week. By December 21, the last two episodes will be broadcast in one go. If you do not agree, then maybe you can find another time to play on station Z. NS.

As for completely confronting BPO, it’s not impossible. After all, as he said, the content of the last two episodes is completely okay, and they can be played normally in the late night. However, it doesn’t matter on his side, and the TV station is unwilling.

It is better to postpone the broadcast for a week than to postpone it for a month. However, after all, there is no reason for "self-preservation". Takagi is a little doubtful whether there will be rumors such as "the ending is too miserable and changed".

The possibility is great.

However, if there are such rumors, there is nothing to do. After all, everyone has worked together for so long, and it should be for mutual understanding.

He sighed: "That is to say, no one has seen this kind of black and deeply disabled magical girl animation. In a few years, there will be more animations of this type. Everyone is not surprised, and no one will be idle. It’s okay to complain everywhere. To a certain extent, we are benefiting the animation industry."
