Chapter 271: Heaven

Mantian, the name of the largest manga company in the Far East, is said to have been invested in by several consortia and now basically monopolizes the manga and animation industry in the Far East.

In fact, this company cannot be said to be very strong, it is far less powerful than the capital of Zhongxia Company, and its influence is limited to the extreme east, so it can be said that it is only a regional hegemon.

What Meng Hates About It Is Because of Its Style, Especially the Use of Other Cartoonists' Works to Showcase It.

The cartoonists under this company held the banner of 'original comics', but they launched serializations in various best-selling comics that 'borrowed' from the outside world, and both Zhongxia Company and Phoenix Company suffered miserably.

Li Xin's "The Son of the Detective" - "The Grandson of the Detective", Qin Ya's "New Moon" - "New Moon", He Xi's "One Piece" - "The Pirate King" and so on...... And so on.

This model is quite shameless, and Zhongxia has sued Mantian twice, but without exception, he has lost the lawsuit.

"The content is different, the title is similar - it is not plagiarism."

The court's ruling is like this, in fact, Mantian's comics are full of outside plots and plots, and even the character settings are very similar, and it is right to say that it is plagiarism, but it is difficult to grasp the evidence.

The editors of Manheaven know how to measure themselves, they turn the plagiarism of cartoonists into references, and their business is limited to the Far East, if they want to sue it, they must come to the Far East Court, but this is its territory, and it is very troublesome to sue successfully.

Neither Zhongxia nor Phoenix had much energy to suppress it, and even if the accusation was successful, it would be easy for it to replace one or two comics, and it would be completely irrelevant.

And more importantly. Mantiantian's hands and feet have not yet touched Huaxia Da 6, and there is a style of 'I just want to be the boss of the region'. This made Zhongxia and Phoenix Company a little uncertain, so they naturally put it aside to dry.

Meng Huo didn't pay attention to it at first, but after a few days in the extreme east, his current situation was a little wrong.

Mantianda is not just 'borrowing', it is also manipulating the news and public opinion in the Far East, and has been quietly spreading some negative news about Zhongxia and Phoenix for a long time, making the reputation of the two companies in the Far East very poor.

Readers in the Far East are no longer as objective as Meng was when he came last year......

Don't mention it far away, just talk about it now. In the high-speed train to Tokyo that Meng Huo was riding, several young people talked about comics.

"There was another shady incident in the Zhongxia Bookstore, it's really too much......"

"Don't mention it, now the Zhongxia Bookstore only sells a few comic magazines from them and the Phoenix Company, and they refuse to let Mantian enter, I heard that the president of Manheaven personally visited the headquarters of Zhongxia Company, and he couldn't even enter the door."

"I've heard about it, too. The business of those two companies in the Far East has not been good, so they joined forces to suppress Mantian, Mantiana is our local enterprise, and we can't let it lose! ”

"Yes, it's so shameless, we want to support Mantian!"

This is the conversation of several young people. But the overall atmosphere in the Far East is very similar, with Paradise playing the sympathetic card of 'local companies' and making up various excuses to slander other companies, completely dominating the market in the Far East.

And there are a lot of negative slanders of cartoonists outside, and Meng has been shot countless times. Many of his readers who used to be in the Far East are now biased.

Remembering this. Meng Shu was a little unhappy, when he first came, he wanted to find a few readers he knew before, but it turned out that everyone was hard to find now.

"Is it necessary to make this ......?"

He sighed that the current Far East is very repulsive to comic companies and cartoonists in the outside world, which is the result of the subtle influence of the media, but there is no evidence that it is Mantian's doing, but criminology has a very simple logical reasoning, and it can solve many puzzles.

If a person commits a crime, whoever can get the most benefit is the most likely suspect.

Who is the biggest beneficiary of the evil atmosphere in the Far East - of course it is Mantian, which is the double hegemony of manga and animation in the Far East. If the comics from the outside world can't come in, Mantian can enjoy this cake exclusively.

I said...... What are you sighing for? ”

Also on the high-speed train to Tokyo, Kako Takashima sat opposite Meng Huo, and she looked at Meng Huo angrily: "Am I so uncomfortable by your side?" ”

"Well...... It's a bit ......."

Meng Shu smiled slightly, this girl is always angry, but she is four points similar to Shen Jie: "Then again, I can't help with Gundam Genesis, why are you still pestering me." ”

Yesterday, Ning Hai's assistant helped him inform the comic book author of "Gundam Genesis", but unfortunately, its animation rights have long been bought by an animation company.

The cartoonist also knew about the Far East side, and he sympathized with the Takashima family, but the copyright was bought, and he couldn't take it back.

Meng Shu told the news to Kako Takashima, and the girl was full of disappointment, but when he was about to leave today, Kako still got entangled.

"I—How can I pester you......" Kako Takashima's cheeks flushed, and she said angrily, "I just went to Tokyo to visit my parents, right...... I'm going to see them! ”

"How do I remember you said a few days ago that you didn't want to go to Tokyo and disturb them......"

Meng Shu said weakly, he is also so popular, but he prefers Shen Jie.

"You're mistaken!" Kako Takashima was a little difficult to get off the stage, she suddenly got up, paused, and said, "I'll go to the bathroom!" ”

She ran away, while Meng Shu continued to look out the window.

"Eiji Takashima, ah......"

He pronounced the name of Kako Takashima's father, a name he had the impression that he had visited with a middle-aged couple on a trip to the Far East, who were lovers of manga, and if they were, they might indeed have set up their own animation company.

But there are too many similar names in the Far East District, Meng Shu doesn't know if it's that person, and even if it is, he has to consider whether he should help or not.

Once he helps, he may have to stay in the Far East for a long time.

Meng Shu shook his head, not thinking about it for the time being.

Soon, Kako Takashima returns, and this time she comes back with a newspaper. His face was flushed—but unlike before, it was a completely angry red.

"You lied to me!"

She said loudly to Meng Shu.

Meng Shu smiled: "You know? ”

He looked at the newspaper. Thinking that his identity was exposed, he was not unseen during his travels, but he had never been revealed so quickly. Half a year has changed his appearance a lot, and at the same time, the media has paid a lot less attention.

"Yes, I see! The animation rights of "Gundam Genesis" were not sold at all, right? ”

However, Kako Takashima's next sentence made Meng Shu stunned.

"What?"

She didn't show his identity, but meant that the animation rights of "Gundam Genesis" were not sold?

"You show me."

Meng Shu reached out and took the newspaper. I took a few glances at it and saw such a title in an inconspicuous place.

-- 'The real reason why Sakura Animation is about to go bankrupt -- what a pity to refuse. ’

He frowned slightly: "Sakura animation...... Is this your father's company? ”

"Yes, he likes cherry blossoms the most, and he takes time out to travel every year during the cherry blossom season."

Kako Takashima's words made Meng Shu feel coincidental, could it be that Eiji Takashima is really the reader he knows?

He continued to look, and the more he looked, the more his brow furrowed.

"You guys were talking about the cherry blossom anime, right?"

This time. A few people who were chatting about comics not far away just now came over curiously: "Sakura Animation is your father's company?" ”

They looked at Kako Takashima.

"En......"

Kako nodded, but the anger on her face still didn't dissipate.

"It's pitiful, you read the report, it's all that regret's fault, my mother used to be a fan of him, and I would be disappointed if I knew that he prevented the cartoonist from selling the animation rights to the extreme east!"

"That's right. If you don't save yourself when you die, you have to fall into the well......"

"Don't worry, sister, I heard that Mantendo is also going to make a zuò Gundam anime, and they will definitely help your family out of this predicament!"

The young men comfort Kako Takashima. And Meng Shu also finished reading the report.

The content of the whole news is very simple, that is, Sakura Animation was deceived. There was nothing to be done, and the Phoenix Company asked for help. As a result, the original author of "Gundam Genesis" did not agree, and according to "reliable" "insiders", it turned out that the proposer of the Gundam theme did not agree.

He regretted not agreeing to the extreme eastern region's zuò Gundam animation, so he used his position in Phoenix to suppress the author of "Gundam Genesis", so that he refused Sakura Animation's request.

Kako Takashima should be angry about this incident, the newspaper said that the animation rights of "Gundam Genesis" were not sold, and she believed it.

"Nonsense."

But after reading it, Meng Shu felt that it was too fake.

"I said Xiangzi, what is the reason for refusal?" He said to Kako Takashima: "This matter has nothing to do with him at all, don't believe the rumors of these newspapers,"

"Of course there's a reason—that's a pity!"

Kako Takashima didn't answer, but the young man next to her said, "Who doesn't know now that Gundam is a theme that our manga artist in the Far East Ward came up with, but it was stolen by that He Xi." ”

"Huh?" Meng Shu was dumbfounded: "How do you say this?" ”

The woman beside the young man explained.

"I heard that the Gundam theme was something that some of our veteran manga artists in the Far East came up with, and at that time, Manheaven had not yet been established, and Phoenix Company preemptively registered it in advance."

"The original name of this theme was - Mobile Suit, and now there are several Mobile Suit comics in Heaven, and if you look at the name, Mobile Suit is obviously more in line with the setting."

"I don't know how the name Gundam came about, but Mobile Suit is easy to understand, and this is undoubtedly the work of our Far East manga artists - I am afraid of being held accountable by Manten, and of course I will not agree to make such an animation in the Far East."

The woman's words were over, but for a moment, Meng Huo suspected that he was in the country that 'made the universe'. He was a little speechless, this Mantian is too powerful, and the propaganda is like this, no wonder it can dominate the market in the extreme east.

"You don't seem to believe me? Actually, I didn't believe it at first......"

The woman looked at Meng Shu with a look of disbelief, and continued: "But you can go and watch some interview programs in Mantian, it's really too much." ”

"I heard that the magical girl theme is also someone else's idea.,You think.,Magical girl and Gundam are both popular topics.,But why don't you draw it? He never painted either of these subjects because he didn't know how to do it. ”

"Half a year ago, Mantian was just established, and I heard that Manheaven at that time was going to hold him accountable, but he disappeared, you didn't say it too much...... That's a thief. ”

"That makes sense." Meng Shu nodded stunnedly, and then asked, "But...... Is this all said by Heaven? ”

The woman shook her head.

"Of course not, at first it was the media, and Man Heaven was reluctant to say it, and in the end, it was when the media went to interview that they admitted it......"

Meng Huo frowned, and asked again, "Man Heaven wants to make a Zuò Gundam animation?" ”

"Yes, it's a Mobile Suit anime!" The woman smiled proudly: "Manheaven wants to justify this theme, animation is much more powerful than comics, my parents will watch animation, but they never read comics." ”

"As long as the animation of "Mobile Suit" is produced by Mantendo Production, the entire people of China will know that Gundam is a fake brand......"

“……”

Meng was silent.

"Okay." He suddenly clapped his hands and turned his head to look at Kako Takashima: "Kako, you take me to see your father today!" ”

"Huh!!"

Kakashima's head burst into smoke.

"This ...... This...... Isn't it faster......"
