Chapter 343 Sense of Identity

"Speaking of which, you young people seem to be quite fascinated by this recently?"

At the Takizawa family's dining table.

Chigako Takizawa, who was sitting on a chair and drawing on a notebook with a gel pen in her hand, seemed to suddenly remember something. She raised her eyebrows and looked past the sofa in the living room to the back figure in front of the floor-to-ceiling window.

"Hmm~"

Looking at the night rain outside the window, Takizawa Xun was stunned at first, then he came to his senses and gave an affirmative answer.

She wasn't surprised that her mother suddenly brought this up.

Not to mention others, just talking about herself, she has mentioned it at home no less than thirty times in the past two months, and every time she mentions it, she will talk about it for a long time.

"The magazine I'm in charge of recently wants to expand its business scope." Takizawa Chigako lowered her eyebrows and refocused her attention on the notebook she was sketching. "The general idea is to explore the hot topics that young people are interested in. From the original focus on fashion magazines, we will add one or two additional sections."

The magazine market is now highly competitive. It is no longer the blue ocean it once was, but a red ocean.

Although the sales of the magazine she is in charge of are still relatively high at present, the president of the magazine, who is also her immediate superior, has a strong sense of urgency and needs to be prepared for any unexpected events.

Taking what was said at the short meeting held this Friday as an example, what magazines need to do now is to stabilize current sales and strive to make further progress, but the former must be the focus.

"Well, just add some gossip, scandals, or something that people like to see?"

Hearing this, Takizawa Xun thought for a moment and asked this question tentatively.

"You can understand it this way." Takizawa Chigako shrugged, "So, I set my sights on Jay."

Topic figures always bring their own hot spots.

As the editor-in-chief of a fashion magazine, she knows very well what kind of content is attractive.

"But mom doesn't understand Jay."

Takizawa Kaoru pursed his lips and said this with a hint of meaning.

A considerable part of my mother's understanding of Jay comes from me.

If you just want to brag or chat in your spare time, there is nothing wrong with such an information channel, but it has to be reflected in the text version after all.

The contents that I talked about with my mother were all second-hand, third-hand, or even unclear how many times the information had been passed on.

These materials have been used many times before, and mentioning them again is just a repetition.

She was not sure whether it could arouse the magazine readers' desire to read, but there was one thing she was sure of, that is, many readers must have some criticisms about this part of the content.

Does it make sense to make an article about some outdated news?

"You mean to say that almost everything I know about Jay comes from you, and most of your information comes from the Internet, right?"

Almost instantly, Chigako Takizawa understood her daughter's subtext.

According to normal thinking, my daughter's idea is not wrong, and it is also the thinking of regular newspapers and news.

Talking over and over again about something that everyone already knows will not have any good results except for attracting criticism. After all, the premise of news is timeliness.

However, news is news and magazines are magazines.

"Yes."

Takizawa Xun raised his eyebrows and looked thoughtfully at the night rain outside the floor-to-ceiling window.

She didn't know if it was her illusion, but the rain tonight seemed to be getting heavier. The intensive "dripping" sound of rain just now had turned into a "clattering" downpour.

"Although both are text media, the audiences of magazines and news overlap, but they are not completely similar." Takizawa Chikako put down the pen in her hand, her eyes fell on the key word "identity" she wrote in her notebook, "News needs to be timely, but magazines are different.

“And what I plan to do is write a personal analysis based on this information.

“Part of it will be subjective, but that’s what’s needed.

“If you are too objective, and you have said your piece, what else can the readers of the magazine say?

“There’s a saying that goes, people just want to see what they want to see, in other words, resonance.

“The target group of this section has always been very clear – the group that likes Jay and happens to be the readers of our magazine.

“After reading such an analytical article, this group of people will definitely feel emotional.

"At this time, we will attach the address we always attach and do a simple feedback collection, and the next issue of QA will be released.

"It has become a hot topic and has become popular all of a sudden."

After saying this, Takizawa Chigako felt a little emotional.

In a sense, every paper media is actually an information cocoon. It will screen its target users and let them see what they want to see.

This is also possible! ? "

Hearing this, Takizawa Xun was silent for a moment, turned around, and looked at his mother sitting at the dining table with a look of surprise.

The other party's idea was beyond her expectations. It could even be said that it was far beyond her comprehension.

After all, in her opinion, or rather, her understanding of this topic is limited to gossip news.

It just needs news that is explosive enough to attract attention.

"Why not?" Takizawa Chikako chuckled, raised her head and met her daughter's gaze, "Don't forget, the magazine I'm in charge of now needs steady progress, not a surge in topics in a short period of time."

In short, my daughter's idea is to rise from obscurity to fame, while my own idea is to win by playing it safe.

As for who is right or wrong, in fact, there is no right or wrong, it’s just that the positions and goals are different.

Takizawa Kaoru withdrew his gaze from his mother, chuckled and shook his head, then walked over to the sofa in the living room and sat down.

In such a professional field, there is indeed a considerable distance between her and her mother.

However, this is also good.

Because the more a mother knows, the fewer detours she will take in the future.

As for the thousands of words in my heart, they were ultimately reduced to three concise words.

learned.

"But then again..." Takizawa Chigako rubbed her temples, then picked up the gel pen again and glanced meaningfully at what was written on the notebook, "This person is really smart. He knows how to create popularity without showing up."

Mystery is always the first factor that attracts people.

'What if he isn't?'

Takizawa Kaoru pursed his lips, but ultimately did not say the words.

His singer's homepage was updated recently.

From a blank space to a short sentence now.

【Everyone just listen to the song quietly. 】

She could feel that Jay really thought so, and he said it very sincerely.

And just like what my mother guessed, the so-called keeping secrets for a purpose...

She thought it was unlikely anyway.

I stayed up late last night, so this chapter is late.

I would like to thank teacher Hanabi Qingyin from Chao Dengji for the reward, and teachers Qinglian Huayu, Banzi Qianmei Du Jiuli Zou, Qi Ti Shen, Yukong F, Wei Gongzirun, y Xuanba, Pinming Zhuangsha 1, Lighting Master, Tan Yugu, and Danxue Yinghan for their monthly tickets. Your support is my motivation for writing.

Chapter 344 Matchmaking

"But then again, there is one thing Xun should be very interested in."

After the mother and daughter were silent for three and a third minutes, Chikako Takizawa coughed lightly and, as before, took the initiative to start the conversation.

"whats the matter?"

Kaoru Takizawa picked up the TV remote control on the coffee table and turned on the TV.

This time is the prime time for evening TV dramas, and the TV series being broadcast recently is quite to her liking.

The content of the TV series has nothing to do with the "youth romance drama" that was popular some time ago. It is a workplace romance drama.

As for the plot, it's not too disturbing. There's no such difficult choice as two girls liking the same boy, or two boys liking the same girl. It's just a pure romantic comedy.

The general content is also very simple. A contract connects two people together. One is the company's top salesperson, and the other is a lower-middle-level employee of the company. They pretend to be a couple and turn the fake into reality. The story develops naturally and the acting skills of the male and female protagonists are also exceptionally good.

In short, it is a TV series that is very much in line with her aesthetic.

The main theme is to be relaxed and happy, making people yearn for love.

"That new director you were so concerned about before, but now he can no longer be called a new director, after all, his debut work was a huge success." Takizawa Chigako paused, "Anyway, he found the president of our magazine again, and plans to use the president's relationship to get in touch with the music network."

"I remember..." Hearing this, Takizawa Kaoru's face showed some reminiscence, "The director's name is Akutagawa Aoki, right?"

The other party's debut film was a simple love movie. Although the production cost of the film was not high, the shooting techniques and the actors' acting skills were extremely sophisticated.

However, if you think about it carefully, it is normal.

After all, director Akutagawa Aoki had more than ten years of experience in the industry before he went out on his own.

According to the person himself, after graduating from high school, he started working as a handyman in various film crews.

"Yes."

Takizawa Chigako nodded, and her tone became a little more cheerful.

This time, she could only say that the subject matter the other party wanted to try was very novel.

However, the president is quite optimistic about it and even invested a part of it.

"What movie is he going to make this time?"

Takizawa Xun tilted his head, his eyes passed across the living room and fell on his mother's profile.

"It's a racing movie, or to be more precise, it's a movie about love, youth, and racing."

Chigako Takizawa revealed the information she knew with a subtle look on her face.

To be honest, in her opinion, this subject matter is very difficult to grasp, especially now that more and more people are making youth romance movies. Even if more elements are stuffed into it, if you think about it carefully, this can easily become an uncontrollable factor.

Even though Akutagawa Aoki has such a long period of experience in the industry, for many things, experience does not mean that one will never make mistakes.

Isn’t this a bit too much?”

Takizawa Kaoru was silent for a moment, then said this in a slightly subtle tone.

"Who knows~"

Chikako Takizawa pursed her lips.

Obviously, her daughter thought the same as her.

“I’m not optimistic.”

Takizawa Kaoru thought about it and added this sentence.

"Anyway, just believe it first."

In the end, Chigako Takizawa did not completely agree.

On the one hand, she believed in the vision of the strong woman, who was also her immediate superior. Since the establishment of the magazine, she had never made a mistake and could accurately find the entry point almost every time.

That's why their magazine has grown so quickly.

On the other hand, Akutagawa Aoki left a good impression on her, and judging from his working experience and the impression given by his first movie, he is a person who is very careful about his reputation. In other words, he probably won't do anything risky.

Whatever~"

Takizawa Fumio nonchalantly withdrew his gaze from his mother and turned down the volume of the TV.

"Why do you seem to be not looking forward to it at all?" Takizawa Chikako paused and teased her daughter, "If I remember correctly, didn't you like this director very much before?"

"I just like that movie." Takizawa Kaoru pursed his lips, "Just because you like a work doesn't mean you have to like the person behind it, right?"
