Chapter 214: The Doomed Loser

Zhongxia Company is going to launch a new magazine, but Alice only knows that the magazine is called "Weekly Premium". Other news is still a mystery. Fortunately, this mystery will have an answer that night.

"There will be a press conference in Zhongxia Company in the evening, and we will go and see it together." After dinner, Alice suggested: "How about I come to pick you up in the evening?"

Meng Huo agreed, but when Alice picked up Meng Huo, he also brought some assistants to Tomato and Hua Meng.

"I love to write it, we want to go and have a look."

Teacher Hua Meng said with a smile.

"Oh..." Alice frowned slightly, opened the car door and let several people get in.

“Where is the venue for the press conference?”

On the way, Meng Huo asked.

"Zhongxia Building." Alice replied: "It is the headquarters of Zhongxia Company in Ninghai now."

When they passed, the press conference had already begun. Alice got the ticket from somewhere, and gave it to the doorman and walked in. Meng Huo was more concerned, and he made some makeup in advance, but no one recognized him.

Walking into the press conference, the scene inside made Teacher Tomato sigh.

"It's worthy of being a big company, with many people."

The press conference was as big as an auditorium, but now it is densely packed with people, most of which are journalists and media, and a few people who don’t know whether they are cartoonists or readers.

"Give it, let it go!"

Teacher Tomato opened the way in front. The auditorium was full, and even the aisle was filled with people. They squeezed from the crowd to a clearer view. Alice wiped her sweat and complained, "Why are they selling so many tickets for nothing?"

Meng Huo deeply felt that if there was no seat, why did Zhongxia Company sell so many tickets? It made it so crowded. It gave people a very bad impression. But on the other hand, such a crowded scene would make the reporter even more excited, perhaps it was a scene deliberately created by Zhongxia.

"Hey, buddy, where are you talking about now?"

Tomato asked a stranger.

"You've just arrived? Just now, Editor-in-Chief Wang introduced some of the business progress of Zhongxia Company, including the channel effects on animation, movies and other copyrights, and the launch of "Weekly Boutiques" next week, which will be released every Saturday."

The magazine released on Saturday does not belong to the "Midsummer Daily". "Weekly Boutique" is a completely independent new magazine, and in terms of name, it should be even better. The introduction of Tomatoes was not long before the launch conference started. Apart from the business introduction at the beginning, it is now the reporter's questioning session.

When Meng Hu and the others arrived, the first reporter asked a question.

"Class Editor-in-Chief Wang, the name of "Weekly Premium" has two words "Boutique". Does this mean that it is of higher quality than "Midsummer Daily"? And we know that the sales of Phoenix's "Weekly Boy" and "Weekly Girl" have increased recently. Is this a pressure on you that led to the launch of "Weekly Boy"?"

This question was asked sharply. Meng Huo looked at Wang Zhe, who was once the editor-in-chief of Longteng Comics, sitting at the center of the front desk.

"Weekly Premium" is better than "Midsummer Daily", so there is no doubt about this. There are two rules for "Weekly Premium" to include. One is to choose among the top three comics in "Midsummer Daily" every day so far. Readers can vote more than three million per week to be listed as a serial candidate for "Weekly Premium"."

Wang Zhe made the venue exclaim in just one sentence.

“Rank the top three every day?”

"No, no... the number of votes in three million per week is amazing!"

"There aren't many comics that meet the standards, right?"

The average number of Chinese summer magazines has been published close to 20 million copies. It is the best-selling comic magazine in China, but readers who buy magazines may not necessarily vote.

Although each magazine has free survey postcards, the number of people willing to send letters will definitely not exceed half of the number of buyers, that is, less than 10 million people. A voting of three million is 30% of the turnout.

Even the top three works in the "Midsummer Daily" every day can rarely reach this proportion of votes.

"One-third of the turnout rate..." There was a noise in the venue. The reporters lowered their heads to record Wang Zhe's speech. The rest were shocked, but as He Xi's dead fans, Tomato disdained him. He said: "Teacher He Xi's vote is more than 60% of the "Weekly Boy" every week. The standard for the high-quality products in Zhongxia is too low."

Of course, the stranger next to him did not agree with this sentence, and he shook his head and said.

"Teacher He Xi is an exception. No one can compare with him in Phoenix. But there are many excellent cartoonists in Zhongxia Company, and thousands of cartoonists work together. You don't have to think that the competition is very fierce. If Teacher He Xi is in Zhongxia, he may not be able to have a 30% turnout rate."

Meng Huo frowned slightly.

The difficulty of candidates for "Mid-Summer Premium" is indeed very high, he admits that, but if he were in Zhongxia, he would definitely get a 30% turnout.

Of course, he didn't say this.

And Wang Zhe's words did not stop before.

"You said that the two magazines of Phoenix Company can threaten us, I want to deny this..." He said to the reporter who asked the question: "We have conducted market evaluations. The sales of "Weekly Boy" is not as good as that of the Central Summer Daily, and the gap is nearly twice that, and this is not a threat at all."

"The quality of "Weekly Boy" has improved, but it has not threatened "Midsummer Daily", and it is even more impossible to threaten "Weekly Premium"..."

"We determined this magazine a long time ago, in order to open up the market and set a vane for everyone to have a boutique comics!"

"The comics in "Weekly Premium" are absolutely fine products. Our company serializes hundreds of works every week. So far, only four of them have met the alternate requirements."

Wang Zhe said that the four candidates were accepted, which shocked the reporters on the scene even more. "Midsummer Daily" was released for five days, but on average, it was not that less than one comic was elected every day?

"Is Miss Qin Ya one of them?"

A reporter suddenly asked Qin Ya, the female cartoonist, has been sitting on Wang Zhe's left. Although she didn't speak, it was very eye-catching. There were always cameras and cameras pointing at her to take pictures.

"No..." Qin Ya smiled and said, "I'm not in those four books."

"Qin Ya is different. I just mentioned one qualification for the candidate." Wang Zhe inserted and explained: "We have another standard to enter the "Weekly Premium"!"

“What standard?”

The reporters' eyes were shifted again.

"Our Zhongxia Company has launched a new signing system, a great god contract. Cartoonists who sign this contract can directly enter the "Weekly Premium" without the market test."

"Grand-level contract?" This fresh word made the reporters curious: "What is that? I haven't heard of it. There are now great-level cartoonists in Zhongxia?"

"There is one..." Wang Zhe narrowed his eyes: "We Zhongxia already have a great manga artist. He has not made his debut yet, but his strength has been recognized by all senior executives of the company. Next week he will launch a new series in "Weekly Boutique"..."

"Our great-level cartoonist, and its strength can even be said to be more powerful than the hottest cartoonist He Xi... Although he has not made his debut, Teacher He Xi has already answered to use two comics to fight him one."

Suddenly, the venue became quiet.

"Teacher He Xi?"

Who is Mr. He Xi? He said that he is the most powerful cartoonist in China, and no one is present to oppose it. However, such a cartoonist actually wants to use two books to fight one of others?

The reporters were surprised, and then the sensation was caused. Some people were excited to record the notes, some people started chatting noisy, and some people stood up and asked Wang Zhe about the identity of the great cartoonist.

"Damn it, so awesome!"

"It's so amazing that it can actually make Teacher He Xi take the initiative to admit defeat. Who is that great cartoonist?"

The crowd began to boil around Meng Huo and the others. The stranger excitedly patted Teacher Tomato on the shoulder and said that another god man appeared. However, Tomato didn't care. He and Teacher Hua Meng and others looked at Meng Huo with shocked eyes.

They didn't know about Anthony, and after hearing Wang Zhe's words, they really thought Meng Huo would use two comics to fight against the mysterious great comic artist.

Meng Huo has always been invincible. His current behavior has made Tomato and others unable to believe it.

"How could it be, teacher, just kidding..."

Meng Huo's face turned cold. He stared at Wang Zhe in front of him, but he didn't expect that the other party would tell him about it.

"I don't know that cartoonist..."

He said coldly, and the Tomato and Hua Meng suddenly breathed a sigh of relief. Meng Huo was not a lie, he really didn't know the cartoonist.

And he is very unhappy now. Damn, Zhongxia actually advertises him!

This is really shameless. The conditions were clearly proposed by Zhongxia, but it seemed that Meng Huo asked for it himself. And the key point is that Meng Huo wanted to use two books to fight Anthony. After Wang Zhe said this, his opponent immediately became the great cartoonist.

"Tsk..." Alice squeezed her finger tightly beside Meng Huo, and sparks appeared in her eyes. Zhongxia's methods were not illegal, but she deliberately misled the media and reporters.

"The elite of Zhongxia must be released. What is a great god? He Xi can admit defeat before he debuts. This is the elite of Zhongxia - a great comic artist!"

"Extreme news: He Xi's myth is shattered, it's absolutely impossible to be wrong this time! He took the initiative to admit defeat, yes, he wants to use two comics to fight a new comic artist!"

"We stay tuned for who is the great manga artist of Zhongxia?

Without even thinking too much, Alice knew that the newspapers in the next few days would be shrouded in such news.

Zhongxia Company regards He Xi as a stepping stone and easily makes a cartoonist who has not yet debuted.

The comic has not been released yet - everyone feels that He Xi has given up.
