Chapter 148: The Trembling Midsummer
On February 28th, after a concert, the members of S5 had a quarrel backstage.
"I said don't bet with that Zephyr, it's dangerous!"
"You definitely didn't say it, but some people told me that the ratings of "Pokemon" may be better than "Cat and Mouse Couple", I don't know if it's true or not."
"I just received a few text messages from die-hard fans, so why don't you fans start to attack us online!"
"That anime won't really be that good!"
Looking at the quarrel of his teammates, Yin Jiaxiang frowned. He is the lead singer of the star group S5 and the captain, and when he encounters such a situation, he should take the initiative to calm down the situation.
"Alright, don't make a noise, everyone! Today "Pokemon" aired an episode, and I couldn't see anything, so how could I say that it would be more than "Cat and Mouse Couple", it's too fake! Yin Jiaxiang said: "These are all the wild words of some fans, we don't have to believe it." ”
The other members looked at each other a few times, and thought about it, the animation had just come out, how could it be possible to win.
"It didn't hurt us to follow the trend last time." Yin Jiaxiang said again: "Didn't we rely on that show to become popular again? Don't just say it's wrong, it's the most important thing to increase visibility and influence. ”
On that local TV talk show, S5 made a bet with cartoonist Zephyr that if "Pokemon" surpassed "Cat and Mouse" ratings, they would eat X...... This bet was actually a pre-arranged hype howl, and the S5 at that time was a bit unlucky, for better or for worse. They all want to make a news.
There is no risk in betting on eating x, and it is full of howls. There were no opponents in S5 at that time.
"The captain is right, let's not worry about it."
"Hmm. "The Cat and Mouse Couple" is also a work of CCTV, how can it lose. ”
The members of S5 gradually calmed down, as celebrities, they didn't trust other people's words much for a long time, and the reason why they were nervous this time was completely because the stakes were too big.
Yin Jiaxiang knew that his teammates still had a fish bone in their hearts, so he thought about it and said, "I'll call Mr. Zephyr and ask him what he said!" ”
To put your teammates at ease, you need to ask another person who is making a bet.
Ninghai. A nightclub, it's twelve o'clock, and it's still brightly lit.
"Teacher, you're so, giggle...... I can't tell it's a cartoonist at all......"
In the box, professional cartoonist Zephyr moved his hands and feet with a seductive woman in his arms, and the woman was amused by him and giggled.
"You're wrong, what's wrong with a man being." Zephyr disagreed, and said with a smile: "There is more." Don't think that cartoonists are righteous gentlemen, I sue you, men who play art are the most sullen...... We are usually stressed, and the best way to relieve stress is, of course, ......"
He didn't go on. It's just that the movements of her hands have accelerated a lot, and the woman has increased her wheezing sound.
"I said Zephyr, let's go back early!"
On the other side of the box. Mach smoked a cigarette and said, "Stop playing. ”
"Go back? Not going back. I'm here tonight. ”
Zephyr glanced at Mach, who was also sitting beside a woman. But Mach didn't pay much attention: "What's wrong with you, it's not like you half a year ago at all, enjoy it if you have beautiful women around...... Yes...... I think I know. ”
With a smile on his face, Zephyr clapped his hands and said, "You don't have any money, don't worry, you play generously, I will settle the bill!" ”
This sentence made the eyes of the two women in the box look at Mach differently, this handsome cartoonist is so poor?
"No money, you bastard!" Mach scolded in his heart, everything has not been going well for him in the past six months, but he still has "Sherlock" in his hand, how can he not have the money to enter and exit such a Fengyue place.
The reason why he wanted to leave was that he didn't want to stay anymore, and the person of Zephyr had changed.
Ever since Mach was defeated by Ho Chi and Zephyr rose to fame with "The Cat and Mouse Couple", Zephyr has always taken Mach everywhere to play. The two are iron buddies, and at the beginning, Mach was very grateful to Zephyr for treating him so well, but after half a year, he is not like this at all.
The reason why Zephyr took him was not because of brotherhood, but to set off his own strength.
Wherever he went, Zephyr would introduce Mach and himself, and then from time to time he would talk about how miserable Mach had been lately, and how good he was, and on some occasions he would rush to pay and be generous.
"Damn, you pretend to be forced, why are you pulling me!"
Tonight he was pretending again, and he was belittleing himself in front of these girls sitting on the stage, and the more he thought about it, the more uncomfortable he became.
"Come here, tonight's consumption is all mine."
He shouted to the woman beside him, swearing in his heart that he would break off with Zephyr after tonight.
When Zephyr heard Mach's words, he squinted his eyes and said with a smile: "Brother, don't hold on if you have difficulties recently, it's not like I won't help you......"
He didn't finish his sentence when he was interrupted by the ringing of his cell phone.
"Hey, who!"
Zephyr hugged the woman with one hand, answered the phone, and listened to two sentences: "Oh, Yin Daxing, it's you......"
"What? The thing about Pokemon...... Not bad is not bad, can it still pass me? …… It's okay, don't worry, "Cat and Mouse Couple" is a hit on CCTV, Ninghai TV can't compare with CCTV, "Pokemon" can't pass at all! ”
"What if? Ha ha...... How could it be just in case! ”
Zephyr laughed, and Yin Jiaxiang asked him what to do if "Pokemon" passed "Cat and Mouse Couple", this sentence was too ridiculous.
"Big star, think about who is behind me and who is behind him...... Do you think there will be a contingency? ”
After Longteng Comics was merged by Zhongxia Company, Xifeng of course became a cartoonist of Zhongxia Company, he was originally a painter of CCTV's hit animation, and he was highly treated in Zhongxia Company, Zhongxia Company attaches importance to Xifeng, how can he make a fool of himself.
"You are in the entertainment industry, and it will not be easy to know which line of work." Zephyr said triumphantly: "If Pokemon can cross me, will Zhongxia Company agree?" I'm their signature cartoonist. How could they possibly let me eat that...... Zhongxia can bring down the Phoenix Company in minutes, what is there to worry about. It's a pity that that guy can't compare to me in his life! ”
He said these words so arrogantly that even Mach couldn't help but want to beat him.
"Can you compare with Teacher Ho?"
What a pity to be defeated for half a year. Mach realized a lot during this period. Maybe he would be unwilling at first, but now he knows how strong he is, how many legends he has created in half a year, and he and other cartoonists are simply two-dimensional people.
Not on the same level, manetbsp; "You're a shit luck guy who wants to compare yourself with Teacher Hexi?"
Mach looked at Zephyr's smiling face and thought to himself that sooner or later he would die a miserable death.
Zephyr hung up the phone and soon received another one.
"Ah, Teacher Li Qing...... Talking about a new role? Tomorrow morning? …… Well, tomorrow afternoon. I don't have time in the morning. ”
"Ah, that's it, I'm busy, bye."
He hung up the phone again.
"Teacher Li Qing?" The woman in Zephyr's arms was surprised: "Isn't that the author of "The Cat and Mouse Couple"? Mr. Zephyr...... How could you refuse his invitation? ”
"Haha, this is not as good as it used to be." Zephyr put down his phone, touched the woman, and said with a smile: "When I was in Longteng before, those novelists were grandfathers, and now I have come to Zhongxia." I just now have them as grandchildren. ”
Zhongxia Company pays attention to cartoonists, and the status of cartoonists has risen a lot.
"What did you say it used to be, we have to listen to the novelist and draw." Zephyr complained: "Li Qing, he has been a writer for so many years. The influence has been small. If I hadn't helped him draw "Cat and Mouse", without my cute cartoon style, he would not be so popular now! ”
"I wipe ......"
Mach almost ran over and shot him to death. This west wind is really becoming more and more self-righteous, and Li Qing is the original story. If he had chosen another cartoonist. Now the proud man is not the west wind.
――――――
Late at night, Yanjing. At the headquarters of the Zhongxia company, several men sat at the round table, and no one spoke.
"Jingle Bell ......"
The phone rang suddenly, and a middle-aged man picked up the microphone: "Hey." ”
"The government has ...... talk"
The voice from the microphone made the man stiffen, and he said nervously: "Is it about that pity?" ”
"That's right, Ding Yanghua, you didn't do anything that shouldn't be done, right?"
Ding Yanghua, this name will cause a whirlwind in the entire comic industry, he is the chairman of Zhongxia Comics, but at this moment, this chairman answers the phone with a respectful attitude, because the people on the other side of the phone represent the capitalists, and they are the masters behind Zhongxia.
"Nope." Ding Yanghua immediately replied: "Since the government started the investigation, we have not made any action. ”
He didn't have the courage to make trouble when he knew that the government was investigating He Xi, the central government's actions were too fast, He Xi had just been exposed, and when Zhongxia Comics was looking at him, the news of the government's investigation came out, and Ding Yanghua was not given a chance to start in advance.
"Well done, continue to play by the rules, and as long as we don't break the law, the government will remain neutral." The person on the other side of the microphone praised it, and then his voice was low: "You see if you can pull He Xi over, as long as he becomes our person, the words of the government today will not matter."
"It's hard...... According to the information I have received, he has shares in the Phoenix company, and the two are tied together. ”
"This is simple, shares are money...... the representative of the capitalist opposite the microphone smiled: "We are not short of money, you go and talk to Mr. He Xi, if he comes to Zhongxia, we promise to directly animate each of his works, and as long as he jumps ship, he will give away 100 million Huaxia coins." ”
"So many ......"
Ding Yanghua was stunned: "Isn't this price too great!" ”
No one in the history of the comics industry has ever been treated like this.
"How can you do it if the price is not too high, but it's a pity that it's the devil." "It doesn't matter that his drawing skills are top-notch, but he is also a thorough original cartoonist, and in terms of story content, there is no one in China who can beat him," the representative said. ”
"His value alone is definitely greater than the value of a few of our top cartoonists, and he can even help us compete against competitors in other regions, 100 million Huaxia coins is a good deal."
Ding Yanghua nodded.
"But what if he wants a stake?"
"That's not going to work...... What we need is a cartoonist, a content producer. The representative snorted coldly: "You can't give him the power of shares, how can the company show him to point fingers, it's too dangerous." ”
This answer made Ding Yanghua secretly relieved, he needed a doll, the doll could be held in his hand, but once the doll had other things, it would be difficult to master.
"So, what does the government mean?"
Ding Yanghua asked, this is the reason why he worked so late.
"The government has put forward three prohibitions: not harming and hindering Hexi, not using illegal means to suppress and compete against Hexi's company, and ...... We are not allowed to force Yenching comics graduates to work in companies, but give them the right to choose freely. ”
The first two conditions did not escape Ding Yanghua's expectations, but the third prohibition made him a little puzzled, and after thinking about it, he began to tremble all over.
What does this mean......
The only thing that Zhongxia can be a rival in the local area is the Phoenix Company, so does the government want to see if it can attract Zhongxia's cartoonists to the past?
It can't be, right!? (To be continued!)
