Chapter 117: A group of tragedies
On the street, people were talking.
“The elves in Pokemon are so cute!”
"I'm looking forward to it! But is this a pre-movie or a promotional video?"
"I didn't see any plot or playback time, it was probably a promotional video. When did Teacher He Xi decide to make an animation? Why was there no news before?"
"I seem to have heard of it. Didn't Phoenix Company select voice actors a while ago?"
"Really? I haven't seen their news recently. There is only Zhongxia comics in the newspaper. That company is so amazing."
"Yes, their daily journals are of high quality and have many excellent comic series, but they still feel that they are not as good as Teacher He Xi, but unfortunately he doesn't go to Zhongxia Company."
"Well, yes, although "Weekly Boy" and "Weekly Girl" have made progress recently, the overall quality of "Midsummer Daily" is relatively high. Phoenix Company has dragged Mr. He Xi back."
"Except for the Gundam and Magic Girls' themes, other comics are worse than "Midsummer Daily", but the animation doesn't matter. We can look forward to "Pokemon"!"
The public responded well to the promotional video, but the reporters and the media did not care. They found out old accounts and looked for more valuable clues. "Pokemon" was rejected by CCTV a few months ago, and now it is produced by Phoenix Company alone, which is a very attractive topic.
Many media focused on the original author of "The Cat and the Mouse" and looked for opportunities to inquire about this matter.
"Mr. Li Qing, we all know that a few months ago, your "Cat and Mouse" successfully defeated "Pokemon" and won the favor of CCTV. Now "Pokemon" has announced that it will also be animated. What do you think?"
“Nothing to be told.”
Li Qing refused to answer. After repeated failures, the reporters found Liu Meng, the animation director of "Cat and Mouse".
"Director Liu, what do you think of "Pokemon"?"
"Pokemon, what is that?" Liu Meng laughed: "Why haven't I heard of it?"
The reporter was surprised: "Why did you forget? It was the animation that submitted to you a few months ago."
"Ah, that one, are you talking about the one that was burned by our staff?" Liu Meng showed a 'sudden enlightenment' expression on his face, and he smiled: "It's a worthless work. You don't have to hype it up, I won't answer related questions."
He said he would not answer, but Liu Meng's words were filled with sarcasm.
Next, no one came out to answer the animation working group of "Cat and Mouse Couple". They were very conservative and refused to answer the questions, which made the media both angry and disappointed. CCTV animation refused to give them the chance to hype. I really don't know if they were not interested in "Pokemon" or they didn't want to give it a chance to stand out.
However, there are many people involved in "Cat and Mouse Couple", and a pig teammate always appears.
There is a well-known male singing group in China called S5, which is composed of five young and handsome male singers. At an interview, the host invited Xifeng, the painter of "Cat and Mouse Couple", and the topic was accidentally mentioned to "Pokemon".
"I'm also chasing Mr. Xifeng's "Cat and Mouse Couple". I have to laugh for a long time in every episode. Those plots are so interesting. As expected, the animations selected by CCTV are different!" A member of s5 smiled and said, "After that, I heard that there was an animation called "Pokemon" in Ninghai recently. It used to be a defeated player in "Cat and Mouse Couple"?"
"It can be said that, but we can't talk about defeated players, so we didn't take it seriously at all." Professional cartoonist Xifeng replied to the male singer. Unlike other colleagues, he mercilessly satirized "The Pokemon": "That work was sent by the author three times, and he couldn't pass each time. In the end, the staff got annoyed and burned it on their own!"
"It's true!"
The male singer looked surprised: "Now some media are talking about it, it won't be so bad, right?"
"Why can't it?" Xifeng snorted coldly, looking proud: "The media wrote it not because the content is good, but for hype. The cartoonist wanted to use us to hype."
"Oh, I understand this!" Another S5 member nodded immediately and said, "We often encounter such things. After becoming famous, all kinds of people want to use us to hype. These people don't work hard and just want to hype."
"In fact, after watching the promotional video of "Pokemon", my first feeling at that time was... Hey! Isn't that the animal world? That's really not the animal world? I painted animals into cartoon images, and then I felt that it would be popular. The author's idea was too whimsical..."
"Hahaha, animal world, this metaphor is suitable, it's so funny!"
The other singers laughed. After laughing, they continued to ask: "I heard that Teacher Xifeng made a bet, saying that the ratings of "Pokemon" exceeded "Cat and Mouse Couple" and then ate shi. Teacher Xifeng, you are too bold!"
"This is just like that..." Xifeng touched his head and smiled: "I was impulsive at that time, but I didn't expect to be recorded. The reporters asked me several times. The ratings of "Cat and Mouse" have broken the record, how could I lose!"
"Hey, it's broken, what's that? Isn't it very interesting?" A member of S5 immediately said: "Would we also want to bet with Teacher Xifeng? We hate this kind of malicious hype the most."
"This one can have it, it seems very interesting!"
"It's a bet."
"Hey, everyone..." Even the host laughed: "Although it is a sure win bet, don't teach our audience badly."
"But by the way, I'll join in."
This program was originally a regional entertainment program, and the content may be suspected of the program team in order to increase the ratings, but it is undeniable that as soon as the program was released, the media were excited.
"Reappearing the gambling game, how bad is "Pokemon"? How could it be mocked again and again?"
"The well-known singing group S5 is cute, and fans say they are so cute."
"The Pokemon is also known as "Animal World - Animation Edition". Teacher He Xi, are you sure you can become popular? How can your brain be so big!"
"A alternative bet, is this intentional hype for S5? Or is it a show of "Cat and Mouse Couple"? As a third party, "Pokemon" is innocently caught in the gun."
"Expert comments about s5 betting on eating shi - using *** silk words to connect the earth will expand the group of young fans!"
"S5 would rather eat shit than let Afeng grab the headlines..."
