Best wishes for animation production - #567 - Chapter 563 BPO (1)

“BPO?” Gu Xue looked at Yu Jingyao, surprised.

March 16th is two days before the final episode of “Puella Magi Madoka Magica” is aired.

Gu Xue failed to do it all at once, and neither did YUKI Studio.

Because something unexpected happened.

Yujing Yao stood in front of Gu Xue. Hearing Gu Xue’s inquiry, she nodded and said worriedly: “Well, it is the so-called ‘Broadcasting Ethics·Broadcasting Organization’, which was established in 1965. Behind it stands the Broadcasting Association. , the Civil Broadcasting Alliance, and the Broadcasting Federation. The purpose is to ensure the freedom of speech and expression and safeguard the basic human rights of viewers based on the publicity and social impact of broadcasting from an independent, third-party standpoint. , accept viewers’ dissatisfaction with broadcast programs and issues such as broadcast ethics. In short, this organization is responsible for TV programs…”

“Official group?”

“No, it’s a non-profit, non-governmental organization.”

Gu Xue was a little puzzled: “Well, since it is a non-profit, non-governmental organization, why not just leave it alone? Just like those protection groups, just let them protest, and we will not lose a piece of meat.”

“This is not one of those private pheasant groups…”

Yu Jingyao sighed: “Although the BPO is not an official organization, and the standards for censorship of TV station program content are not formally legally binding, after all, the Broadcasting Association is behind this organization. It was established early and has no influence on TV. The influence of the entertainment circle is still very large. If a program broadcast on a certain TV station is pointed out by the BPO to have problems, then the program will most likely become popular. Even if it is not popular, it will suffer in terms of ratings and social evaluation. It has a huge negative impact, so almost all TV stations are afraid of BPO.”

“And Puella Magi Madoka Magica is also broadcast on the TV station.”

Gu Xue untied her single ponytail, gathered up her long hair, and frowned: “So…what’s wrong with “Puella Magi Madoka Magica” now?”

“According to BOP, some viewers complained to BPO, and after they reviewed it, they found that “Puella Magi Madoka Magica” does contain elements of ‘violence’, ‘cruelty’, ‘bitterness’, etc., and it is very obvious, so they Ask us to stop broadcasting, modify the script, and change the age rating from PG-12 to R-18…”

Hearing Yu Jingyao’s words.

Gu Xue immediately became angry: “Are you kidding! Why didn’t they say it was banned? “Attack on Titan” didn’t even reach that level. How about changing the rating for a magical girl animation that didn’t even show the scene of the senior’s U-turn? And it’s still being stopped? ? I’ll stop!”

“Don’t be angry or angry.”

Yujing Yao hurried over and comforted Gu Xue: “It’s just a criticism and warning. The final result of the review has not been released yet. Within the BPO, the head of the Broadcasting and Youth Related Committee, Director Kazutomo Fujiku, has officially submitted a request for a visit. He will meet in two days Come over to the studio, it looks like there is still room for maneuver.”

“the day after tomorrow!?”

Gu Xue’s chest was still heaving, angry!

“Well, so… Anyway, the animation will be suspended for a week. I know you are angry, but there is nothing you can do… In addition, BPO also requires us not to disclose the censorship information until the results of the censorship come out… “

“Haha! Now the twelfth episode of “Puella Magi Madoka Magica” is about to be aired, the most anticipated episode! If we are not allowed to reveal the news, then why did Fujiku Kazuyo come here on the airing date? We apologize to the audience without saying anything and then take the blame?”

Yu Jingyao gently patted Gu Xue’s thin back and frowned.

“Okay! If you stop the broadcast, stop the broadcast. I want to see what they say! If this so-called BPO can’t explain why, let’s see if I don’t blast them to death!”

“Also, Sister Yujing, please be mentally prepared. Although I don’t know when the complaint was made, the animation has been broadcast to the last episode, so why does the BPO accept it? The timing is so coincidental, and we just happened to be stuck. He also revealed that there was room for maneuver, but he chose to visit us on the day when the final episode of the animation was aired. No matter how you think about it, it’s wrong!”

…

March 17th.

Just when the audience is eagerly waiting for the final episode of “Puella Magi Madoka Magica”, which is currently a completely phenomenal work, to be aired.

The official Twitter of YUKI Studio posted a tweet announcing the postponement.

The reason was not given, only that it was due to force majeure.

This announcement was immediately spread as soon as it was sent out.

Soon, almost everyone knew.

When the audience saw this news, they were first shocked, then confused and angry.

After a while, there were even rumors among the audience that “the ending was too tragic and had to be changed.”

Many people have underestimated the influence of “Puella Magi Madoka Magica”, including some people at YUKI Studio.

YUKI Studio official Twitter below.

As soon as the announcement came out, countless viewers flooded into Twitter to express their dissatisfaction and confusion.

“Why!? Why stop broadcasting? It’s obviously at the most important time!”

“…The heat is already very high, there is no need to be like this, Gu Xue.”

“Obviously the animation was not suspended even on New Year’s Eve! But it is suspended now? The reason and time of suspension have not been stated? So is it suspended indefinitely? Why!”

“Just for a gimmick…”

“I can’t understand! YUKI Studio has always been a benchmark in the industry and has never postponed or broadcast a comprehensive episode. Some time ago, Ando Jinyu and other seniors said that your construction schedule planning and efficiency are incredible. How can it be stopped?”

“Gu Xue! Why is the broadcast suspended? Please come out and explain! I really want to see the ending. It has been foreshadowed for eleven episodes, but the final episode has been suspended!?”

“Damn it…your YUKI studio is too stupid!”

“…”

The number of messages increased rapidly, and most of them were dissatisfied.

And as time goes by, the matter continues to ferment.

Soon, though.

the next day.

The direction of the incident has changed…

Because an employee of YUKI Studio, the well-known director of “Essential Girl” Sato Ei, suddenly tweeted to explain the situation.

Including the BPO review and the other party’s request not to disclose the matter.

Now, studio insiders came out to speak, and the audience knew the reason.

The firepower began to shift.

The audience started to rush to BPO.

Suddenly, there was a commotion.

An announcement from YUKI Studio has created “the biggest topic in recent years” in animation. This is something no one expected.

…

YUKI Studio.

“Are you stupid?”

Gu Xue looked at Sato Ei lying on her lap and glared at her.

Sato Ei will tell this matter completely on her own initiative.

Sato Ei whispered: “Why do seniors take the blame? It’s you every time. I’m just not convinced. Anyway, the tweets I posted were not from you! When the BPO person asks, you Just say that you failed to discipline your subordinates and pass the responsibility to me, don’t be afraid, senior!”

“Don’t be afraid of your size!” Gu Xue raised her pink fist and wanted to hit her on the head, but with her fist raised, she couldn’t do it.

“Isn’t this giving the enemy a clue? Don’t be afraid… I want to beat you to death.”

In the end, the fist did not fall, Gu Xue just pulled Sato Ei’s cheeks.

“Anyway, you insist that you are not good at disciplining your subordinates and put the responsibility on me. What can he do to you? Don’t worry, senior, I have thought about it carefully!”

Sato Ei suddenly raised his head, put his hands on his waist, and looked proud.

Gu Xue finally couldn’t bear it anymore.

He punched his fist.

“Eh……”

Sato Ei’s power was instantly broken, and she covered her head and howled wildly.

Gu Xue looked forward, narrowed her eyes, and ignored her.

BPO…?
