Chapter 90 Can't cover it!

"Uncle Song, just take your time. What's going on?"

Meng Zhe, who heard the news, was much calmer than Song Guixu expected.

Xiao Meng's editor-in-chief is worthy of Xiao Meng's editor-in-chief. He is not timid at all in the face of this kind of thing!

Song Guixu, who had already "semi-deified" Meng Zhe, hurriedly said everything after admiring in his heart: "Editor-in-Chief Xiao Meng, the matter is like this..."

The thing is like this: in the issue of "Anime Boy" just published two days ago, the editors selected 13 short comics from the short stories received, and then Yao Feila, the short story reviewer of the month, chose five comics from them and gave one of them the highest score called "Sea of Stars".

With the establishment of the short story reviewer system, the review, which was originally just a selection of manuscripts, has successively added the 'creative', 'painting', 'storyboard', 'character' and other small items of short comics, as well as writing a brief review for each short manuscript.

At the time of publication, all the scoring forms of the reviewers of the short comics selected in the current issue, as well as the editor-in-charge who recommended the short story and the brief comments of the reviewers of the current short stories will be published in the specially opened magazine column 'When the Cartoonist's Conducts'.

Because the editor-in-chief's comments of the recommended short stories will always be very different from the comments of the current short film reviewer, this 'when the cartoonist is in progress' column has now steadily occupied the first place of the favorite column of the current issue of "Anime Youth", and has even surpassed the 'Comprehensive Comic City' founded by Meng Zhe. ...This shows how much readers are interested in this column.

But the problem is just here!

Yao Feila, the recommended editor-in-charge and reviewer of this issue, has scored nearly a full score in "Sea of Stars", which is unprecedented! It can be imagined that in the eyes of readers, this situation is simply a big bomb!

Then, the master of the hidden dragon and crouching tiger in the folk appeared, and a large express mail was sent to Tianjiao Club. After opening the envelope, Song Guixu was stunned to see that what was contained in this express was all evidence of plagiarism from the Star Sea!

This master reader did not hesitate to cut and paste the suspected plagiarism part of "Star Sea" published in "Anime Boy" and the original content of the plagiarism object "Five Star Story" on Kent paper, and then framed all the plagiarism positions with a red pen... "Xiao Meng, editor-in-chief, if this matter is revealed If we go out, it will have a great impact on our magazine and our animation teenagers. President Kong has returned to Taiwan. Xiao Meng, editor-in-chief, can't be contacted on the road again. I'm so anxious! Just now, I and several other team leaders were discussing how to cover up this matter. We are in the middle of the discussion..."

Although it is said that the Tianjiao Society has not been established for a long time, the trend of seniority is not very popular. However, after all, Song Guixu was the first old minister to "fought the country" with Meng Zhe and Kong Lan. In addition, he was also the team leader of the editorial team, and his work was more diligent and hard-working. Therefore, when the two giants of the magazine were not there, Song Guixu was given the right to preside over common affairs by Kong Lan, which was a normal thing.

However, before Song Guixu finished speaking, he was interrupted by Meng Zhe in a strange tone. Meng Zhe asked, "Cop it up? Why do you want to cover it?

"Editor-in-chief Xiao Meng, you may not be very clear... If you don't cover it up, after the matter spreads, you will lose the brand of our "Anime Boy" and damage the reputation of our Tianjiao Society! Now, the four 5155 families in North Carolina and so on are our animation teenagers who are tiger-sighted and dreaming of robbing our readers... So if they don't cover it up, they will definitely take this matter!"

Song Guixu quickly explained that he felt that Meng Zhe did not understand the situation, so he asked such a strange question.

It's a pity that Song Guixu wasted a lot of saliva, but Meng Zhe shook his head firmly.

"Uncle Song, have you thought about it? Even if it is covered this time, what about the future? What if this kind of thing happens again in the future?

In Song Guixu's puzzled eyes, Meng Zhe asked slowly - plagiarism will have a second time. How is it possible to cover it?

If you just imitate the characters or settings, and then create a new story by yourself, then it is still acceptable. It is normal and normal for the newcomer to be influenced by his favorite famous cartoonist, but according to Song Guixu, the situation of "Sea of Stars" is simply Copy the whole picture!

This kind of plagiarism is too bad!

Meng Zhe, a reborn person, was just carefully drawing future comics, and then began to draw his original comic "Stupid Guardian of the Three Kingdoms"... Even Meng Zhe Lian, who could have drawn from him, and then won fame and money, Naruto and One Piece, were returned to Kishimoto. Tian Rongyilang.

Meng Zhe has never thought about publishing the comics that have now appeared on the market as his own works!

Because of this, his character has no lower limit... Although Song Guixu is not Meng Zhe, he is also a good person with a lower limit, so Meng Zhe's question made him speechless. He moved his lips but couldn't say anything.

"So, this matter should not only be covered up, but also be exposed with great fanfare! We should let readers and dreamers who are aspire to defect clearly that our Tianjiao Society and animation teenagers' tolerance for plagiarism is zero!"

Since Song Guixu can't speak, Meng Zhe will continue to speak. He clearly expressed his thoughts.

At this time, Yao Feila, who caused the disaster, and the editor-in-chief of the author of Star Sea have also arrived at Meng Zhe.

After listening to Meng Zhe's resolute words, the two obviously showed a shameful expression, but then Yao Feila expressed his deep reflection on this matter: "I'm sorry, Mr. Jiji, in fact, when I reviewed the Sea of Stars, I vaguely felt that it was somewhat similar to "Five Star Story". But I didn't take this seriously at that time. Instead, I felt that the author was very talented and well adapted. So the responsibility for this matter is all on me..."

Meng Zhe is very gratified by Yao Feila's sincere attitude of admitting her mistake. Just as the brand awareness of the heavenly dynasty in this era is still very weak, intellectual property rights are also not valued by people. It is not surprising that Yao Feila has such an idea.

"Da Yao, if you encounter this kind of problem in the future, think about it more - if the other party plagiarized the whole picture of Dayao's serialized cartoon, how would you react?"

Although he was very gratified, Meng Zai still criticized Yao Feila verbally.

After criticizing Yao Feila, Meng Zhe didn't wait for Yao Feila to admit his mistake again, so he turned his head and told Song Guixu: "Uncle Song, call the team leaders of "Anime Youth" for a meeting, um... Let Zeng Yu, who is in charge of "Light Novel", also come and listen."

If you have something to do, you should have a meeting to discuss and study, praise and praise the criticism, and then make a decision in accordance with the principle of centralized system, which is also the normal internal processing process of events.

Of course, the general understanding is that the top leadership has the final say.

In Tianjiao Society, the top leaders who have the final say are Kong Lan and Meng Zhe. Meng Zhe doesn't think there is anything wrong with him having the final say, because as a rebirth, he holds the context of the times and understands the direction of history.

So, half an hour later, the result of the plagiarism incident came out:

First, in the next issue of Anime Youth, the comparison pictures of plagiarism are published, and the plagiarism incident is sincerely apologized to the readers.

Second, the author of "Star Sea" confirmed that the remuneration of the plagiarism part will be fully deducted, and this part of the money will be supplemented as a whole number by Tianjiao Society as a bonus to the master reader.

Third, I would like to express my most sincere apologies to Ho Nagano, the author of Five Star Story.

Fourth, the works of the author of "Sea of Stars" will never be adopted by Tianjiao Society in the future!

Fifth, establish the 'Anti-plagiarism Review Association'. All enthusiastic readers who are interested in letting "Anime Boys" and keep their original surnames are welcome to join the club.

The sixth... Well, there is no sixth.

The editor-in-chief of "Sea of Stars" and Yao Feila were verbally criticized at the meeting. The result of this treatment was slightly more lenient, but if this kind of thing happened next time, Meng Zhe would not be so soft-hearted - the author who served as a short story reviewer would be fine, but the editor who was not strict in review would have to bear the responsibility. It's responsibility!

After the meeting, Meng Zhe appointed the leaders of each editorial group to go back to convey the spirit of the meeting to his editorial team members... Well, Meng Zhe felt that he was very much like a legendary bureaucrat.

However, it's not okay not to do this. The opening and closing meeting just now was to take care of Yao Feila's face. You can't let Yao Feila, who is serializing a long story, admit his mistake and apologize in front of everyone, right? That's too much to hurt people's face... After dealing with the plagiarism incident, Meng Zhe, who had no one at home and had no place to go, simply called Yao Feila, the new editor-in-chief who made a mistake, and found a restaurant for a simple meal. At the dinner table, Meng Zhe talked with Yao Feila again. After promising Yao Feila that the follow-up would not involve him and let Yao Feila feel at ease to draw, Yao Feila, who was depressed, returned to normal a little.

Of course, Meng Zhe, the editor-in-chief who made a mistake, didn't say much. He asked the new editor-in-chief to read more comics when he went back - Tianjiaoshe has now built a large comic collection room, which is full of various comic magazines and single books.

After dinner, Meng Zhe originally planned to go to his 'Jiji Animation Studio' to have a look, but when he arrived at the door of Tianjiao Club, he was stopped by the long-awaited Kishi Kishimoto and Oda Eiichiro.

"Mr. Jiji, I have drawn a short manuscript!"

"Mr. Jiji, I have drawn a long story to do the first two words!"
