under the spotlight

Chapter 67 Crisis
The car drove into the main road and passed the ginkgo avenue with dense tree canopy, and the beautiful scenery in front of me suddenly became clearer.

The two people in the front row chatted softly, but it didn't affect the sound sleep of the two people in the back row.

"This place is really beautiful. It is not too much to describe it as a fairyland on earth." Jiang Zhongze said with emotion.

Lu Beicen agreed with this point, and nodded with a smile.

Seeing that Lu Beicen's expression softened, Jiang Zhongze shook his head and said with a light smile: "Actually, in your industry, you stand at the source and center of information. You have very keen intuition and insight, but you don't think so. .”

Seeing Lu Beicen's silence, Jiang Zhongze continued: "But this is now when information is not relatively developed. Perhaps one day in the future, when Internet technology becomes more mature and the release of information no longer depends on the media itself, the way for people to obtain information Habits will also change, and as a medium, this profession may have a potential crisis.”

Lu Beicen instinctively wanted to retort, but when the words came to his lips, he took them back, but frowned unconsciously. Facts have proved that the Internet affects the ratings, and the Internet affects the sales of paper publications. already visible.

As for the large number of practitioners in the media industry, from newspapers, magazines, books to radio and television, Guangbo TV and books may still need certain technical support. on the verge of danger.

In the past few years, due to people's frantic demand for information transmission and dissemination, various newspapers have emerged one after another. How many real exclusive news and in-depth reports can there be in a city with four or five urban newspapers?
Lu Beicen once heard a joke, saying that the new reporters in the newspaper office can't find any news. They go to squat by the bridge every day, and when they meet a person who jumps into the river, they don't care if he can interview the following story. , or it’s just an ordinary lovelorn, divorced, or unable to repay the gambling debts. Anyway, if you take a picture, it’s news when you come back.

What's more, there are some newspaper reporters copying news on the Internet. At the beginning, the content of newspapers in the whole city is almost the same, so they will naturally be criticized.

After gaining wisdom, I started looking for unpopular websites, even the more unpopular websites the better, but many of the news on such websites are often fabricated.However, no matter how many plagiarists there were, they just changed the place name, and when it passed the review, the approval leader finally saw the newer content and signed it for review.

Anyway, it is all fabricated, and there is a high probability that it will not cause any legal disputes, but the problem is that fake news is fake news after all. If more people read it, people will naturally question it, and its credibility is gradually declining.

The metropolis newspapers are originally aimed at the market and seek benefits. Either the content is homogeneous, or there are too many fake news, and the circulation will naturally gradually decline.Metropolitan newspapers under large media groups can still rely on some unique information channels to barely support them, but for tabloids, as they lose readers and markets, they start to lose money.

After the loss, the first thing to do is to cut salary and reduce staff. The first batch of unemployed people in the media industry, just like the corporate reform in the early 90s, has inevitably appeared.

There are influences brought about by the new Internet technology, of course, the deeper reasons are still superfluous.But the Internet is still developing, even changing with each passing day. Now I basically rely on QQ for office work, and I rarely use the phone.

When the information on the Internet begins to overflow, people can browse the information they want to know online without spending money. At that time, except for the official newspapers with subscription tasks, other market-oriented newspapers, I am afraid is at stake.

Then, who will be at stake next, Lu Beicen couldn't help but look back at Fang Nan.Can the magazine society withstand the impact of the Internet age?I'm afraid that when the Internet is everywhere, there will be fewer and fewer exclusive reports, and the exclusive advantage will be lost, and the number of subscriptions to publications will naturally decline.

Nowadays, many publications are returning to monthly magazines from ten-day magazines and semi-monthly magazines, which is a very realistic situation.

Lu Beicen couldn't help but sighed softly. Although the Internet also needs a lot of content to fill, but there is an era when computers can type out text, just like film cameras are finally mercilessly replaced by digital cameras. The future seems to be in danger.

After a long silence, Lu Beicen's soft sigh fell into Jiang Zhongze's ears. He couldn't help but bend his mouth slightly. Obviously, she understood what he meant. I have to say that this girl is very sensitive. and transparent.

Jiang Zhongze couldn't help being soft in his heart, and comforted softly: "You don't have to be so pessimistic. Your TV industry may be relatively better. Many foreign organizations have already implemented the separation of live broadcasts, which shows that no matter how the times change, content production is still very important. Like There is always a market for the high-quality documentaries you make.”

Lu Beicen was still thinking about the future trend in his mind, so he shook his head subconsciously: "I don't make this kind of film anymore, what I'm doing now is a special report on the legal system."

Lu Beicen suddenly remembered what Wen Mengran said: "When one day our tiresome program dies, it is because the legal system has improved to a certain extent."

Heh, I'm afraid it's not that the legal system has improved to a certain extent before it dies, but the information explosion brought about by the Internet age. If too much homogeneous information is accepted, the ratings will naturally be lost...

"What is the legal topic? Is it case restoration? Or popularization of the law?" Jiang Zhongze obviously doesn't know much about domestic TV programs.

"All of them." Lu Beicen replied absent-mindedly.

Jiang Zhongze nodded, and was a little puzzled: "Why did you suddenly change jobs? Didn't you say that the ceiling of your TV industry is documentaries?"

Lu Beicen recovered from his fugue, and glanced at Jiang Zhongze unexpectedly: "Do you still know the TV industry?"

"I probably know a little bit, but not deeply. You haven't answered my question yet."

"Am I obligated to answer your question?"

Jiang Zhongze glanced at Lu Beicen, who suddenly exploded again, in surprise, and shook his head with a smile: "No, but, you seem to be avoiding this question. What's the reason?"

Lu Beicen opened his mouth, held back, and asked helplessly, "Okay, what's your problem?"

Jiang Zhongze watched Lu Beicen die down, and asked again with some amusement: "Why did you suddenly change jobs?"

"It's the end of the probationary period and the assignment to a new job, it's as simple as that."

"It seems that the current job is not as suitable for you as the previous job."

"It's all the same whether it's shooting a feature film or recording some extreme cases. What's wrong with watching all kinds of life?"

"Is that so? Then we need to pay attention to psychological adjustment..."

Before Jiang Zhongze finished speaking, Lu Beicen's cell phone rang.
