Chapter 177: National Idol

With the broadcast of CCTV News, all parts of China learned about He Xi and his comics overnight, and the media reprinted and reported them.

"Knowing it is a tragedy, you still can't resist seeing the end. The comics written by He Xi are more like a work of art. "Five Centimeters in Seconds" exceeding 10 million sales is not accidental. It is a comic worth put on the bookshelf and treasured for life." - East China Daily.

"Love is fascinating, beautiful and fresh, and soul-stirring. He Xi has no love, but his love is in his comics." - Ningdu Entertainment News.

"The unstoppable rush brought by He Xi will make him a cartoonist who surpasses novelists." - Entertainment Online.

"Not everyone can accept the challenge of new things, He Xi is challenging the limits of comics." - Huadu Weekly.

From Monday to Thursday, every corner of China: Far East, Xiangjiang, Su Hua, Xixia... From north to south, from east to west, there were a lot of He Xi's news, and some media even interpreted each of He Xi's comics.

"From reality to fantasy, there are all kinds, wonderful and best-selling. You will never know what He Xi's next comic will be. This is his greatest charm."

"His debut work "Detective Conan" breaks the stagnant pool of original comics. The stunning start and the sensational compact plot are unforgettable. This work is the first time we have seen He Xi's name..."

"Inuyasha, this comic series serialized in "Weekly Girl" integrates monster legends, combining reality and illusion, showing a magnificent fantasy world, which is magnificent and fantasy and weird. It is light, lustful and heavy, and it is the most fantasy work in the history of comics..."

"As soon as He Xi's third comic "Five Centimeters in Seconds" was released, it immediately caused a "love earthquake" in the comics industry. Not to mention the sales exceeding tens of millions, even the president of Yenching University came out to support it without hesitation..."

"The "Five Centimeters in Second" is He Xi's ultimate painting. His two new works, "The Male Public Relations Department of Yinglan College" and "Dream Eater", were not yet able to comment on them. But from the perspective of market performance, there is no doubt that these are two more comics that create miracles."

"We are particularly concerned about "Dream Eater". The story of the cartoonist has made many experts praise it. The editor-in-chief of Xixia Comics Company commented on the Internet - if He Xi brought readers in the comics industry into a new era, then "Dream Eater". This comic may bring He Xi to a new height."

"This newspaper dare not decide He Xi's success or failure with a comic. However, the success of a comic can be said to be accidental, and many comics are only inevitable. No one will question He Xi's talent. One day, this young man who is only sixteen years old will one day be independent of the sky, making other cartoonists unable to match it."

Xixia City. On the roadside newsstand, the white-haired old man put down the newspaper in his hand and sighed softly.

"The comic...it's a pity..."

His voice attracted the attention of several newspaper readers around him, including the store manager of the newspaper booth.

"Old man, what are you sorry?"

"It's a pity, I'm sorry I haven't read the comics." The old man shook his head and said, "I'm old and I don't know if I can still accept this new thing. It seems that I can't witness the growth of a generation of literary giants."

"Old man. Comics are the best introductory reading material." Next to it, a young man smiled and said, "Don't worry, comics are made by paintings to tell stories, which are simpler and more vivid than novels. My father's eyes are not good. He will be tired after reading books for a long time, but now he can read comics for a longer time."

"I bought a book called "Five Centimeters in Seconds" some time ago, and my father was a treasure..."

The old man's eyes lit up: "Is this happening?"

He became interested: "Then I'll go buy one too, where can I buy it nearby?"

"Some small bookstores should be available, but we don't buy much here. In addition, CCTV broadcasts the news about Mr. He Xi a few days ago, you may have to find a few more to find." The young man replied: "Xixia is a central city in the west, and there will be no comics, but if you want to go to the county and city to take a look, it will probably be gone."

"Don't Zhongxia Bookstore have no?"

The old man looked surprised. CCTV broadcasts He Xi’s news, isn’t it sold at Zhongxia Bookstore?

"That...that I don't know..." The young man frowned and shook his head and smiled: "Maybe Teacher He Xi and Zhongxia Bookstore didn't say OK. Compared to this, old man, you just said the literary giant? Why did you say that?"

He was very curious. The old man obviously had never read the comics, but after reading the report, he said that He Xi would grow into a literary giant and why he came to this conclusion.

"I've read a lot of newspapers these days."

The old man laughed happily: "He Xi's comic sales are amazing, and the contents and types are different, and the launch time is very fast."

"A person like this is a real genius, not the kind of person who will die in one or two movies. He has real material."

He paused and continued to smile: "He is still young now, and when his life experience becomes richer, his works will be more profound. The cultural industry is different from those of celebrity idols who rely on youth to make a living. The author's influence will become stronger and stronger with time. This child named He Xi... If you look at it in another twenty years, he will definitely be a giant in China, or even the world literary world."

"Although comics are just niche now..." The old man looked at the newspaper with emotion: "But when I was young, novels were also niche, and they were suppressed by traditional literature."

He saw comics as if he had returned to the past. At that time, the book market was dominated by classical classics and traditional literature. He paid attention to the depth of thought, did not pay much attention to stories, and especially looked down on market-oriented novels. As a result, when he saw decades later, traditional literature became a niche.

Comics are lucky than novels. Now that China has open cultural policies, this industry will definitely be smooth sailing.

"I agree with the old man." The owner of the newspaper booth smiled and said, "Teacher He Xi will be the Taishan Beidou in the future literary world, but before that, he had already had the potential to become a national idol."

"Since my daughter saw his photos, she has been dying and not thinking about food..." The boss shook her head and smiled bitterly: "She even told me that she wanted to go to Ninghai in college."

When a national idol heard this word, a handsome boy was dissatisfied.

"Dear uncles, don't praise me." He said disdainfully: "It's too fake. That person named He Xi is a painter, not a singer and an actor. How could he become a national idol?"

At a similar age, the boy was very dissatisfied with He Xi. Isn’t that a lucky guy? If he could draw, he would definitely draw a better story than He Xi!

However, the old man who spoke at the beginning was very dissatisfied with his words.

"Singers and actors? Young people... When you regard them as idols, you must first figure out one thing." He snorted: "Singers and actors are idols born with the development of media technology in recent decades, but before that, these people were called actors and actors, and that was not considered idols..."

"In China for five thousand years, only literati are idols that will not disappear with the times. When every dynasty was at its peak, almost all the idols were literati and poets."

"Now society has made many singers and actors famous, but appearance is greater than inner self, and relationship is better than strength. This is definitely not a long-term idol. With the development and transformation of media and communication technology, idols in the future will pay more and more attention to their inner heritage."

The old man said with a cold face when facing the boy.

"I can't say what the idols in the future will look like, but according to the current government's cultural strategy, cultural idols will inevitably appear, so why should I satisfy this condition?"

"He Xi will definitely surpass singers and actors. He is a real idol and a person who dominates the cultural market."

The boy was speechless and his face turned red.

“It makes sense.”

The young man nodded in praise, although he saw that the old man was deliberately exaggerating his words and might want to teach the young man a lesson. But when it comes to idols, compared to the singers who jumped around, young man also wanted to see cultural idols. If nothing else, at least his wife liked He Xi, he would not think she was very stupid.

A girl passed by, and the girl couldn't help but squirm when she heard the topic of her idol.

"Teacher He Xi is already an idol!"
