Chapter 343

"Speaking of which, you young people seem to be quite obsessed with this 'Jay' lately?"

Takizawa's house, in front of the dining table.

Takizawa Chigako, who was sitting on a chair with a gel pen and sketching on a notepad, seemed to suddenly remember something. She raised her eyebrows and looked across the sofa in the living room and landed on the sofa in front of the floor-to-ceiling window. On that back.

"...Uh-huh~"

Kaoru Takizawa, who was looking at the night rain outside the window, was stunned for a moment, then came to his senses and gave an affirmative answer.

She was not surprised that her mother would suddenly mention this.

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

"Recently, the magazine I am responsible for wants to broaden its business scope." Chigako Takizawa lowered her eyebrows and returned her attention to the notebook she was sketching. "It probably means to dig out the hot spots that young people are interested in, and start from the original Just focus on fashion magazines and add one or two additional sections.”

Nowadays, competition in the magazine market is fierce, and it is no longer the blue ocean it was before, but a red ocean.

Although the sales volume of the magazine she is responsible for is currently relatively high, the president of the magazine, her immediate boss, has a strong sense of urgency in times of crisis.

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

"Well, just add some gossip, scandals, or some things that you like to hear about?"

Hearing this, Takizawa Kaoru thought about it for a while and asked tentatively.

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

Topic figures always have their own hot spots.

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

"But mom doesn't understand Jay."

Takizawa Kaoru pursed his lips and said these words with meaning.

A considerable part of my mother's understanding of Jay came from her.

If you just brag and chat in your free time, such an information channel is nothing, but after all, it must be reflected in the text page.

The content I talked about with my mother was all second-hand, third-hand, or even unclear how many hands.

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

She didn't know whether it could arouse the desire of readers of the magazine to read, but one thing she was sure of was that many readers would definitely criticize this part of the content.

Does it make sense for you to use some outdated news to make an article?
"You want to say that almost everything I know about Jay comes from you, and most of your information comes from the Internet, right?"

Almost instantly, Takizawa Chikako understood the subtext of her daughter.

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

Telling something that everyone already knows over and over again will not only cause criticism, but will not have any good results. After all, the premise of news is timeliness.

However, news is news, and magazines are magazines.

"Yes."

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

I don't know if it was her imagination, but tonight's rain seemed to be getting heavier and heavier. The heavy rain that was just "tick-tock" has turned into a "bursting" downpour.

"Although they are both written media, the audiences of magazines and news overlap, but they are not completely similar." Chigako Takizawa put down the pen in her hand, and her eyes fell on what she wrote on her notepad. Keywords 'identity', "News needs to be timely, but magazines are different.

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

“Part of it is going to be subjective, but that’s the point.

"If you are too objective, after you have finished speaking, what else can the readers of the magazine say?

"There is a saying that goes well. People just want to see what they want to see. In other words, it is a sense of resonance." The target group of this section has always been very clear - they like Jay, and they happen to be ours. The readers of this magazine.

“This group of people will definitely feel emotional after reading such an analysis article.

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

"Isn't it topical and popular all of a sudden?"

After saying this, Takizawa Chigako felt a little emotional.

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

"...This is also okay!?"

Hearing this, Takizawa Kaoru was silent for a moment, turned his head, and looked at his mother sitting at the dining table in surprise.

This idea of ​​​​the other party was not what she expected. It could even be said that it was far beyond her scope of cognition.

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

It just needs breaking news to arouse the topic.

"Why can't this work?" Takizawa Chigako chuckled, raised her head tacitly, and met the eyes of her daughter directed at her, "Don't forget, I am now responsible for this magazine What is needed is steady progress, rather than rising topics in a short period of time.”

In short, my daughter's idea is to become famous from unknown people, while my own idea is to win steadily.

To say who is right and who is wrong, in fact, no one is right or wrong, it is just that the positions are different and the goals are different.

"..."

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

In such a professional field, there is still quite a distance between her and her mother.

However, this is also very good.

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

As for the thousands of words in my heart, they only condensed into three concise words.

learnt.

"But then again..." Chigako Takizawa rubbed her temples, then picked up the gel pen again, and glanced meaningfully at the 'Jay' written on the notepad, "This person , is really smart and knows how to create popularity by not showing up."

Mystery is always the first factor that attracts people.

'What if he isn't? '

Takizawa Kaoru pursed his lips, but in the end he still did not say these words.

Jay recently updated his singer homepage.

From a blank to a brief sentence now.

【Everyone just listen quietly. 】

She could feel that Jay really thought this way, and his words were very sincere.

And just like his mother guessed, the so-called purposeful keeping of mystery...

She thought it was unlikely anyway.
