On February 28th, after a concert, S5 members quarreled backstage.
"I told you not to bet with the west wind. It''s dangerous!"
"You never said that, but some people told me that the ratings of" pet elf "may surpass" cat and mouse couple ". I don''t know whether it''s true or not."
"I''ve just received a few messages from my fans, so He Xi''s fans are attacking us on the Internet!"
"That animation is not really that good, is it?"
Watching his teammates quarrel, Yin Jiaxiang frowned. He is the lead singer and team leader of the star group S5. When it comes to this, he should take the initiative to calm down the situation.
"Well, don''t make any noise! Today "pet elf" broadcast an episode, nothing can be seen, how can we say that it will surpass "cat and mouse couple", too fake "These are the raves of some fans of He Xi. We don''t have to believe them," Yin said
The other members looked at each other a few times. They thought that the animation had just come out. How could they win.
"It didn''t hurt us to follow suit last time." Yin Jiaxiang said: "we are not relying on that show to make a fire again? Don''t just say it wrong. It''s the most important thing to raise awareness and influence. "
In the interview program of the local TV station, S5 made a bet with the cartoonist Xifeng that if the audience rating of "pet elf" exceeded that of "cat and mouse couple", they would eat X... this bet was actually a pre arranged hype howling. At that time, S5 had some bad luck, regardless of the good or bad, trying to make a news.
It''s not risky to bet on X, but it''s full of howling. At that time, S5 had no opponents.
"The captain is right. Let''s not worry about it."
"Well," cat and mouse couple "is also a work of CCTV. How can it lose?"
s5 The members of the group gradually calmed down and became stars. They don''t believe others for a long time. The reason why they are nervous this time is that the stakes are too high.
Yin Jiaxiang knew that his teammates still had a fishbone in their heart. After thinking about it, he said, "I''ll call teacher Xifeng and ask him how to say it."
If you want your teammates to feel at ease, you need to ask another gambler.
Ninghai. It''s 12 o''clock in a nightclub. It''s still brightly lit.
"Teacher, you are so humorous, cluck... I can''t see it''s a cartoonist at all..."
In the box, professional cartoonist Xifeng tells a joke to a woman dressed casually. The woman giggled at his teasing.
"You''re wrong. What''s wrong with a man''s humor." Xifeng said with a smile: "besides, don''t think cartoonists are just gentlemen. I tell you, men who play art are the most sullen... We usually have a lot of pressure, and the best way to vent our pressure is to tell jokes..."
He said with a smile, casually said a few interesting stories, the woman once increased the laughter.
"I said west wind, let''s go back early!"
On the other side of the box, Mach smoked and advised, "stop playing."
"Go back? No, I''ll be here tonight. "
Xifeng glances at Mach, and there is a woman sitting beside him, but Mach doesn''t pay much attention to it: "what''s wrong with you? It''s not like you half a year ago. If you have beautiful women around you, you can enjoy it... Ah... I think I know."
There was a smile on his face. Xifeng clapped his hands and said, "you don''t have any money, right? Don''t worry. If you play generously, I''ll pay the bill!"
This sentence makes the two women in the box look at Mach differently. How poor is this handsome cartoonist?
"No money, you son of a bitch!" Said mach in his heart. He has had a bad half year, but at least he has Shylock in his hand. How can he not have the money to go in and out of such places.
The reason why he wants to leave is that he doesn''t want to stay. Xifeng has changed.
Since Mach was knocked down by He Xi, and Xifeng has become famous by "cat and mouse couple", Xifeng always takes Mach around. They are iron buddies. At the beginning, Mach was very grateful that Xifeng would treat him so well. But half a year later, he found that things were not like this at all.
The reason why Xifeng took him was not because of brotherhood, but to set off his own strength.
No matter where he goes, Xifeng will introduce him and himself. Then from time to time, he will talk about how miserable he is recently, and how powerful he is. On some occasions, he has to rush to pay and be generous."Mother egg, you pretend to force, pull me why!"
I''m pretending again tonight and belittling myself in front of these girls. The more I think about it, the more uncomfortable it becomes.
"Come here, I''ll pay all the expenses tonight."
He cried to the women around him, swearing in his heart that he would break up with Xifeng after tonight.
When Xifeng heard Mach''s words, he narrowed his eyes and said with a smile, "brother, if you are in trouble recently, don''t hold on. It''s not that I don''t help you..."
He didn''t finish, but was interrupted by the ring of his cell phone.
"Hello, who is it?"
Xifeng said sorry to the woman, got through the phone and listened to two sentences: "Oh, big star Yin, it''s you..."
"What《 "Pet elf" is a good thing. Can it surpass me It''s OK, you don''t worry, "cat and mouse couple" is popular on CCTV, Ninghai TV station can''t compare with CCTV, and "pet elf" can''t surpass it at all
"In case? Ha ha... How could it be in case! "
Xifeng laughs. Yin Jiaxiang asks him what to do if "pet elf" surpasses "cat and mouse couple". This is ridiculous.
"Big star, you think who is behind me, who is behind him... Do you think there will be a case?"
After Longteng comics was merged by Zhongxia company, Xifeng naturally became a cartoonist of Zhongxia company. He was originally a painter of CCTV''s popular animation, and got a high treatment in Zhongxia company. Zhongxia Company attached great importance to Xifeng, so how could he make a fool of himself.
"You''re in the entertainment business. It''s not easy to know which line." Xifeng said triumphantly: "if" pet elf "can surpass me, will Zhongxia company agree? I''m their famous cartoonist. How can they let me eat that stuff... The Phoenix company will be defeated in every minute in midsummer. What''s to worry about. He Xi, that guy can''t compete with me all his life! "
What he said was so arrogant that even Mach couldn''t help beating him.
"Can you compare with teacher He Xi?"
Defeated by He Xi for half a year, Mach learned a lot during this period. He may not be reconciled at first, but now he knows how strong He Xi is and how many legends He Xi will create in half a year. He and other cartoonists are just two dimensional people.
Not at the same level, Mach lost.
"You''re a lucky dog and want to compare with teacher He Xi?"
mach Looking at Xifeng''s smiling face, I thought that sooner or later he would die miserably.
Xifeng hung up and got another one soon.
"Ah, Mr. Li Qing... Discuss the new role? Tomorrow morning Well, tomorrow afternoon. I don''t have time in the morning. "
"Ah, that''s it. I''m busy. Goodbye."
He hung up again.
"Miss Li Qing?" The woman in Xifeng''s arms was surprised and said, "isn''t that the author of couple cat and mouse? Teacher Xifeng... How could you refuse his invitation? "
"Ha ha, it''s not as good as it used to be." Xifeng puts down her cell phone and touches the woman. He said with a smile: "when I was in Longteng, those novelists were my grandfather. Now when I come to Zhongxia, I find that they have become grandchildren."
Zhongxia company pays attention to cartoonists, and the status of cartoonists has risen a lot.
"What do you call that before? We have to listen to novelists and draw." Xifeng complained: "Li Qing, who has been a writer for so many years. The influence has always been small. If I didn''t help him draw "cat and mouse couple", without my lovely cartoon style, how could he be so popular now! "
"I wipe..."
mach I almost ran to shoot him dead. Xifeng is more and more self righteous. Li Qing is the original story. If he had chosen other cartoonists, he would not be proud of Xifeng now.
——————
Late at night, in Yanjing, the headquarters of Zhongxia company, several men sat at the round table, and no one spoke.
"Ding Ling Ling..."
The telephone rang suddenly. A middle-aged man picked up the receiver and said, "hello."
"The government has spoken..."
The voice from the microphone made the man stiff and said nervously, "it''s about what I regret?"
"Yes, Ding Yanghua, you didn''t do anything you shouldn''t do, did you?"
Ding Yanghua, this name will cause a whirlwind in the whole comic circle. He is the chairman of Zhongxia comics, but at the moment, the chairman answers the phone with a respectful attitude, because the people on the other side of the phone represent the capitalists, who are the backstage masters of Zhongxia comics."No 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 Xi was investigated by the government. The action of the central government was too fast. He Xigang was exposed. Just when Zhongxia cartoon was looking at him, the news of the government investigation came out, and Ding Yanghua was not given the chance to start in advance.
"We have done a good job. We will continue to act according to the rules. As long as we do not break the law, the government will remain neutral." The man on the other side of the microphone praised, and then said in a low voice: "see if you can bring ho Xi over. As long as he becomes our man, the words of the government today will not matter.
"It''s hard... According to the information I got, he has shares in Phoenix, and the two are tied together."
"It''s simple. Shares are money..." the representative of the capitalist on the opposite side of the microphone said with a smile: "we are not short of money. Go to talk with Mr. He Xi. If he comes to Zhongxia, we promise to directly animate every work of him, and give 100 million Chinese dollars as long as he changes jobs."
"So much..."
Ding Yanghua was stunned: "is the price too high?"
No one has ever been treated like this in the history of comics.
"It''s not too expensive. He Xi is the devil." The representative said: "it doesn''t matter that his painting skills are top-notch, but he is still a thorough original cartoonist. In terms of the content of the story, no one in China can rival him."
"His value is absolutely beyond the value of several of our top cartoonists. He can even help us fight against competitors in other regions. 100 million Chinese dollars is a good deal."
Ding Yanghua nodded.
"But what if he wants shares?"
"That won''t work... What we need is a cartoonist, a content producer." Representative Leng hummed: "share power can''t be given to him. How can we let him direct the development of the company? That''s too dangerous."
This answer let Ding Yanghua secretly relieved, he needs a doll, the doll can grasp in the hand, but once the doll has other things, it is not easy to grasp.
"So what does government mean?"
Ding Yanghua asked, this is why he works so late.
"The government has put forward three prohibitions: it is not allowed to hurt or hinder He Xi, it is not allowed to use illegal means to suppress and compete with He Xi''s company, and... It is not allowed to force Yanjing University''s cartoon graduates to work in the company, and let them have the right to choose freely."
The first two conditions didn''t escape Ding Yanghua''s expectation, but the third one made him confused. After deep thinking, he began to shudder.
What does the central government mean
Only He Xi of Phoenix company can be the rival of Zhongxia in China. Does the government want to see if He Xi can attract Zhongxia''s cartoonists?
It''s impossible, isn''t it
