On February 28, after a concert, the members of S5 had an argument in the background.

"I said a long time ago that we should not bet with that Xifeng, there is danger now!"

"You definitely didn't say it, but someone told me that the ratings of "Pokemon" may exceed "Cat and Mouse Couple". I don't know whether it is true or false."

"I just received text messages from several hardcore fans, and He Xi's fans started to attack us online!"

"That animation won't be that good, right!"

Looking at the quarrel between his teammates, Yin Jiaxiang frowned. He is the lead singer of the star group S5 and the captain. When encountering this, he should take the initiative to calm the situation down.

"Okay, don't argue! There is an episode of "Pokemon" airing today, and you can't see anything. Why do you say it will surpass "Cat and Mouse Couple"? It's so fake!" Yin Jiaxiang said: "These are all the crazy words of some fans of He Xi, we don't have to believe it."

The other members looked at each other a few times, and thought that it was true. How could they win just now?

"The last time I followed the trend and made a bet, it was not bad for us." Yin Jiaxiang said again: "Didn't we become popular again by relying on that show? Don't just say it wrong. To increase popularity and influence are the most important thing."

In that local TV interview program, S5 bet with cartoonist Xifeng that if the ratings of "Pokemon" exceeded "Cat and Mouse Couple", they would eat x... This bet was actually a pre-arranged hype. At that time, S5 was a bit unlucky, and whether it was good or bad, they wanted to make a news.

It was a bet that there was no risk in eating x, and it was full of howling. There was no objection to S5 at that time.

"The captain is right, let's not worry too much."

"Well, "Cat and Mouse Couple" is also a CCTV work after all, how could it lose?"

The members of S5 gradually calmed down and as stars, they had long since lost their beliefs about others. The reason why they were nervous this time was entirely because the bet was too big.

Yin Jiaxiang knew that his teammates were still carrying a fish bone in his heart. He thought about it and said, "I'll call Teacher Xifeng and ask him what he said!"

If you want your teammates to feel completely at ease, you also need to ask another person who is making a bet.

Ninghai. It was already twelve o'clock in a nightclub, and it was still brightly lit inside.

"Teacher, you are so lustful, huh... you can't tell that you are a cartoonist..."

In the private room, the professional cartoonist Xifeng hugged a charming woman and touched her feet. The woman was so funny that she giggled.

"You are wrong. What's wrong with men being lustful?" Xifeng disagreed and smiled: "Also, don't think cartoonists are gentlemen. I tell you, men who play art are the most sulky... We usually have a lot of pressure, and the best way to vent pressure is of course..."

He didn't continue to say that, but the movements on his hands accelerated a lot, and the woman suddenly increased her breathing.

"I said Xifeng, let's go back early!"

On the other side of the box, Mach smoked and suggested, "Stop playing."

"Go back? I won't go back, I'll be here tonight."

Xifeng glanced at Mach, and there was a woman sitting beside him, but Mach ignored it: "What's wrong with you? It's not like you half a year ago. If you have beautiful women around you, enjoy it...ah...I think I know."

A smile appeared on his face. Xifeng clapped his hands and said, "You don't have money, don't worry, you play generously, I will pay the bill!"

This sentence made the two women in the box look at Mach with different eyes. Is this handsome cartoonist so poor?

"You don't have money!" Mach cursed in his heart. Everything was not going well in the past six months, but at least he also has "Detective Sherlock". How could he not have money to go to such a romantic place?

The reason why he wanted to leave was that he didn't want to stay anymore. Xifeng had changed.

Ever since Mach was defeated by He Xi and Xifeng became famous with "Cat and Mouse Couple", Xifeng has always taken Mach to play everywhere. The two are good friends. At the beginning, Mach was very grateful to Xifeng for treating him so kindly, but after half a year, he found that this was not the case.

The reason why Xifeng took him was not because of brotherhood, but to highlight his own strength.

No matter where he goes, Xifeng will introduce Mach and himself, and then tell from time to time how miserable Mach has been recently and how powerful he is, he has to rush to pay and be generous in some occasions.

"Damn it, you can show off, why do you pull me?"

I was pretending tonight and belittled myself in front of these girls on the stage. The more I thought about it, the more uncomfortable I felt.

"Come here, I will pay for all the consumption tonight."

He shouted to the woman beside him, swearing in his heart that he would break with Xifeng after tonight.

Xifeng narrowed his eyes when he heard Mach's words and said with a smile: "Brother, don't hold on if you have difficulties recently. I'm not helping you..."

He didn't finish his words and was interrupted by the ringtone of his cell phone.

"Hey, who!"

Xifeng held the woman with one hand and answered the phone. After listening to a few words, "Oh, Yin Daxing, it's you..."

"What? What's the matter of "Pokemon"... It's good, it can surpass me?... It's okay, don't worry, "The Cat and the Mouse" is popular on CCTV. Ninghai TV can't compare with CCTV. "Pokemon" can't surpass it at all!"

"What if? Haha...how is it possible!"

Xifeng laughed loudly, and Yin Jiaxiang asked him what to do if "Pokemon" surpasses "Cat and Mouse Couple". This sentence is so ridiculous.

"Big star, think about who is behind me, who is behind him... do you think there will be a chance?"

After Longteng comics were merged by Zhongxia Company, Xifeng of course became a cartoonist of Zhongxia Company. He was originally a painter of CCTV's popular animations and received high treatment in Zhongxia Company. Zhongxia Company attaches importance to Xifeng, so how could he make him ugly?

"You are from the entertainment industry, and you know that no industry is simple." Xifeng said proudly: "If Pokemon can surpass me, will Zhongxia Company agree? I am their signature cartoonist, how could they let me eat that thing... Zhongxia can defeat Phoenix Company in minutes? What's there to worry about? He Xi that guy will never be able to compare with me in this life!"

He said these words very arrogantly, and even Mach couldn't help but want to beat him up.

"Can you compare with Teacher He Xi?"

After being defeated by He Xi for half a year, Mach realized a lot during this period. Maybe he would be unwilling to give up at the beginning, but now he knows how strong He Xi is and how many legends He Xi has created in half a year. He and other cartoonists are simply people of two dimensions.

It is not on the same level, and it is not unfair to lose by mach.

"You, a lucky person, want to compare with Teacher He Xi?"

Mach looked at Xifeng's smiling face and thought to himself that he would die miserably sooner or later.

After Xifeng hung up the phone, he soon received another one.

"Ah, Teacher 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 very busy. Goodbye."

He hung up the phone again.

"Teacher Li Qing?" The woman in Xifeng's arms said in surprise: "Isn't that the author of "Cat and Mouse Couple"? Xifeng... why would you refuse his invitation?"

"Haha, this is called the present time not as good as the past." Xifeng put down his phone and touched the woman. He smiled and said, "When I was in Longteng, those novelists were grandpas. Now when I came to Zhongxia, I realized that they became grandsons."

Zhongxia Company focuses on comic artists, and the status of comic artists has increased a lot.

"What did you say before? We have to listen to the novelist's words to draw." Xifeng complained: "That person Li Qing has been a writer for so many years. His influence has always been very small. If I hadn't helped him draw "Cat and Mouse Couple", without my cute cartoon style, he wouldn't be so popular now!"

"I'll wipe..."

Mach almost ran over and patted him to death. The west wind was becoming more and more self-righteous. Li Qing was the original story. If he had chosen other cartoonists at the beginning, the person who was proud of it would not be the west wind.

—————

Late at night, at the headquarters of Yanjing and Zhongxia Company, several men sat at the round table, and no one spoke.

"Dingling..."

The phone rings suddenly. A middle-aged man picked up the microphone: "Hey."

"The government has spoken..."

The sound from the microphone made the man's body stiffen and he said nervously: "Is it about that He Xi?"

"That's right, Ding Yanghua, you didn't do anything you shouldn't do?"

Ding Yanghua, if you say this name, it will cause a whirlwind in the entire comics industry. He is the chairman of Zhongxia Comics, but at this moment, the 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.

"No." Ding Yanghua immediately replied: "We have not taken any action since the government began the investigation."

He didn't have the courage to make trouble when he knew that the government was investigating He Xi. The central government was moving too quickly. As soon as He Xi was exposed, just as Zhongxia comics were looking at him, news of the government investigation came out, and there was no chance to take action in advance.

"I did a good job and continue to follow the rules. As long as we don't break the law, the government will remain neutral." The person on the other side of the microphone praised, and then his voice was low: "Look at whether he can pull He Xi over. As long as he becomes ours, the government's words today will not matter.

"It's hard... According to the news I've received, he has a stake in Phoenix, and the two are tied together."

"This is simple, shares are money..." The representative of the capitalist opposite the microphone smiled: "We are the least short of money. Go and talk to Teacher He Xi. If he comes to Zhongxia, we promise to animate each of his works directly, and give 100 million Chinese coins as long as we change jobs."

"so much……"

Ding Yanghua was shocked: "Is this price too high?"

No one in the comics world has ever received this treatment.

"How can it be done if the price is not high? He Xi is a devil." The representative said: "It doesn't matter if he has top painting skills, but he is still a complete original cartoonist. In terms of story content, China is unrivaled."

"He is worth alone definitely exceeding the value of several of our top cartoonists, and can even help us fight competitors in other regions. 100 million Chinese currency is very cost-effective."

Ding Yanghua nodded.

"But what if he wants shares?"

"That won't work... What we need is a cartoonist and a content maker." The representative snorted coldly: "Even shares cannot be given to him. How can he make the company's development point? That's too dangerous."

This answer made Ding Yanghua secretly relieved. He needed a doll that could be in his hands, but once the doll had other things, it would be difficult to master.

"So, what does government mean?"

Ding Yanghua asked, this was the reason why he worked so late.

"The government has proposed three prohibitions: no harm or hinder He Xi, no illegal means to suppress and compete against He Xi's company, and... we are not allowed to force Yenching University comics graduates to work in the company, and 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 confused. After thinking deeply, he began to tremble all over.

What does the central mean?

The only one who can be a rival in Zhongxia is He Xi of Phoenix Company. Does the government want to see if He Xi can attract Zhongxia's cartoonists?

Is this impossible!?
