Chapter 216: Impossible to be so evil
After the Zhongxia press conference, a whirlwind blew across Ninghai.
News from Zhongxia Company was posted on newspapers and local forums, focusing on the story of He Xi using two comics to fight a new cartoonist. This incident triggered heated discussions. Some people lamented that He Xi's miracle was finally shattered, and some people laughed at He Xi for bowing to a newcomer without any backbone, and even the Internet was full of controversy.
He Xi's readers were angry when they heard this news. They were particularly shocked. In contrast, the eyes of these readers were also attracted by the new comics of Zhongxia Company.
What kind of cartoonist actually made Teacher He Xi defeat without a fight?
These readers may be angry or unbelieve it, but it is undeniable that even with doubts, they will witness the release of "Weekly Boutique" and want to see whether it is true or not, and this incident does not harm Zhongxia Company.
At Zhongxia Building, Yang Liang looked at the newspaper with joy.
"Very good. In this case, readers trained by He Xi will also buy our comics and magazines!"
Readers are very realistic people. They may worship a cartoonist, but most of them are just reading books. Yang Liang believes that as long as they buy "Weekly Premium Products", they will continue to buy in the future!
"The sales of "Weekly Premium" are absolutely booming." Yang Liang put down the newspaper and smiled: "Now the atmosphere of the media and readers has been mobilized. Wang Zhe, you are doing a good job!"
He praised Wang Zhe who was standing in the office.
"Where..." However, Wang Zhe wiped his sweat and said with a bitter face: "Minister, is it too unethical for us to do this?"
He Xi was used to praise the new cartoonist and also told the agreement out loud - this was not Wang Zhe's idea, nor Yang Liang's idea. It was an instruction issued by Zhongxia Company headquarters.
Although it is a bit unethical, as a group of capitalists, such means are pediatrics, and there are too many shameful means. If the country had not drawn a red line, I really don't know what the situation is now.
"There is no morality in business, and no one said it cannot be leaked." Yang Liang shook his head and said, "This incisive method can achieve great benefits for us and almost ensure our invincibility. As long as the result can be won, everything will be fine."
Yang Liang knew the idea of the head office. If this victory was won, He Xi would go to the UK as agreed. No matter whether Duke Anthony can let He Xi stay there in the future, many things can be changed in half a year. The six months when He Xi was away, this is the six months when Zhongxia Company accelerated its expansion.
"Li Xin." Yang Liang's eyes turned to the side. Li Xin, the most important newcomer cartoonist, stood there: "I'm going to debut this week, are you in a state of good condition, right?"
"No." Li Xin nodded, but looked a little nervous: "I will draw this work seriously!"
"That's good... by the way. Just use your name directly. The company plans to make you famous. This is an opportunity, and you don't need to give another pseudonym."
"yes."
Li Xin nodded obediently. It doesn’t matter whether to take other pseudonyms or not. The advantage of having a pseudonym is that it lacks some worries and does not need to be exposed to the outside from time to time. However, it is also beneficial for not taking it. Readers can see you intuitively and get familiar with you faster. The romance princess Qin Ya did not use the pseudonym, and everyone knew her.
"Are you a little nervous?" Yang Liang found that Li Xin's face was tense and looked very stiff, and couldn't help laughing: "Don't worry, you have to believe in your strength more, your paintings are no worse than He Xi."
He is full of confidence in this victory. Li Xin has excellent painting skills and the quality assurance of "Detective Sherlock". In addition, the current media hype, neither Li Xin nor Zhongxia Company has any reason to fail.
"Don't think too much, you won't fail." Yang Liang stood up and said, "You only have one shortcoming, which is the theme limitation of "Detective Sherlock". Detective comics are not the mainstream. But it is precisely to understand this limitation that we launched "Weekly Premium" and put other excellent works on it."
He walked over and gently patted Li Xin on the shoulder.
"Four popular comics are with you. These four are the elites among the elites of Zhongxia comics. The popularity of any of them is more than He Xi. Together, they form a perfect setting for you like green leaves." Yang Liang smiled and said, "Now don't talk about He Xi, even if it is a god, you have to lie down in front of you!"
How could Zhongxia Company rely solely on public opinion? They used four top comics to flock to one, and the limitations of detective comics do not exist at all. Coupled with the effects of media and advertising, even a fool cartoonist can become a god in one fell swoop.
"I understand, thank you minister." Li Xin nodded, but was still a little nervous: "Actually, I am not worried about Teacher He Xi. In this situation, he may not be able to beat me. I am nervous about the company's love for me... The company supports me so carefully, and I am afraid that I am not outstanding enough and cannot create such great value."
He seemed very careful, and Yang Liang laughed when he saw it.
"So you are not worried about He Xi. I now know why the company likes you. Your boy's flattery is really good."
Whether it is flattery or not, Yang Liang is very satisfied. As a cartoonist, Li Xin has a very good attitude. This young man knows his identity and is also very obedient. Such a person is welcomed in any company.
"It's a pity that He Xi is not like this..."
After sending Li Xin away, Yang Liang thought to himself that if He Xi could be as obedient as Li Xin, his current situation would be completely different.
However, He Xi becomes an obedient cartoonist, will he still be He Xi?
Yang Liang shook his head and turned around to continue working.
Zhongxia Building
A black car stopped at the door, and the driver opened the door and let Li Xin take it. After getting in the car, the young cartoonist breathed a sigh of relief: "I was so nervous just now, the minister and the others loved me too much!"
"That's because the teacher is excellent."
The man in the driver's seat smiled and said, "Other people can't be recognized by Zhongxia. Zhongxia company has thousands of cartoonists, but only teachers can get such honors. The teacher has stood on the heads of thousands before he debuted. You are undoubtedly the best!"
Although this man is just a driver, he is very beautiful, and Li Xin is a little fluttering.
"Brother Hui, I heard that you were the driver of Teacher Mach in the past, right?" Li Xin smiled and said, "He is still my senior. We are all responsible for the adaptation of "Detective Sherlock". He lost to He Xi, and it was my turn to avenge him this time."
Li Xin looked down on mach in his heart. A world-renowned work actually lost to "Detective Conan" who just debuted. It's ridiculous.
"It is a good thing for teachers to be confident, but Teacher He Xi is a difficult opponent, so it is better to be cautious."
The driver smiled and felt that he had such a topic before.
"Don't worry, I have absolute advantages now. All resources are stronger than He Xi. He cannot compete with me." Li Xin answered disapprovingly: "A cartoonist's strength is not only painting skills, but also company and other resources. There is no absolute fairness in this world. This time He Xi is destined to be stepped on by me."
He laughed: "He is so stupid that he is. If he had come to Zhongxia early, my position might be his."
Time cannot return, He Xi has missed the opportunity. Zhongxia now cannot spend more money to win him over because it is not worth it. Behind Zhongxia is a capital union group, which will not be decided by one person. Several capitalists may not care about the 100 million yuan winning expenses, but no matter how much they are, they will not be willing to pay.
If you use 100 million to promote Li Xin, he will become the number one cartoonist in China. In a short time, this title will be his favorite.
Li Xin sympathized with He Xi, but he did not feel guilty. The media reports were a bit thin, but if he changed his position, he believed that He Xi would do the same. This time Li Xin stepped on He Xi to the top because He Xi was very popular. As long as he succeeded in taking advantage of him, things would turn around.
"When I reach the peak of the Chinese comics industry, I guess he will have to use me to advertise."
Li Xin narrowed his eyes and imagined the future, with a faint smile on his face. He knew that He Xi would stand down and use him to hype one day, but as long as Li Xin walked up, he would not give He Xi any chance to turn the tables. He was not as naive as He Xi.
"Brother Hui, drive, I want to go home."
He closed his eyes and ordered the driver to drive.
"Okay, teacher, um..."
"What's wrong?"
"No, have you seen the first episode of "Detective Conan"?"
"You are talking about that picture?" Li Xin opened his eyes and said with some disgust: "That picture is indeed an artistic work. It can draw comics like paintings. He Xi is so lucky."
"It's just a chance. I haven't seen him draw those pictures recently."
After so long, many people have forgotten He Xi’s super-strong painting skills.
The driver was the same. He just suddenly remembered that in addition to the plot, there was another reason why he lost to He Xi. At that time, He Xi suddenly created a character from the monster thief and defeated "Detective Sherlock" with his amazing painting skills...
The situation this time is very similar to that before. Both cartoonists are in an advantageous position and are both painting "Detective Sherlock", with the same confidence as winning. But in the end, will Li Xin encounter the same failure as Mach?
He Xi has been in the industry for so long, and all the cartoonists standing in front of him have failed!
However, the gap in overall strength this time is larger than ever before. Li Xin's strength is stronger than other cartoonists. He should be able to defeat Teacher He Xi... If this situation can still be turned over, that would be a real ghost!
"It's impossible to be so evil..."
The driver muttered secretly, then started the car and drove away from the Phoenix Building.
One week later, "Weekly Premium" will be released. (To be continued...)
