Chapter two hundred and eighty-fifth: the public relations crisis in the heaven

Since the first episode was aired, "Gundam Seed" has fermented rapidly. Not to mention how much impact it has in mainland China, but its ratings in the Far East have actually surpassed "The Strongest Mobile Suit".

After a few episodes were broadcast, the Gundam setting, which was several years ahead of other comics, attracted a lot of attention. Despite repeated suppression by Mantian, more and more people began to accuse Mantian.

"He Xi's Gundam setting is unprecedented in detail. Regardless of physical details or combat methods, including armor, and various weapons settings, there is a unique system. In the face of the rich information of "Gundam Seed", "The Strongest Mobile Suit" can only be said to be a children's animation with the fur of a mobile suit - why does Mantian say that Gundam plagiarize mobile suit?"

"Why is He Xi's animation so good? I hope Mantian can come forward and explain one thing: is the orthodox dispute between mobile suits deception or hype?"

"The 'Father of Mobile Suit's Teacher Matsuhara has refused to be interviewed since the launch of "Gundam Seed". It's a coincidence. Are they going on vacation or are they escaping from reporters?"

On the official forum of Mantian, you can see comments from readers everywhere. Outside the headquarters of Mantian, media often guarded the door and asked questions.

Mantiantang did not accept any interviews or explains it. After the employees were blocked by reporters, they were also confused. This obvious escape gradually aroused people's anger.

"Fuck, we must have been cheated!"

"Teacher He Xi's setting is much more detailed than Man Tiantang. Man Tiantang takes the initiative to go to Ninghai to sue them. Such despicable things can be done, so they are shameless!"

"Bah. Who is this? I believe in Mantian so much? So, their previous reports about Teacher He Xi were fabricated out of thin air?"

Things get bigger and bigger.

Aki Suzuki didn't take it seriously at first. He felt that it would be fine if the wind passed. At worst, he would not make Gundam series animations in the future. However, he underestimated the speed of the situation - or rather, he underestimated how angry his deception made readers.

Before this, readers in the Far East District supported Mantiantang very much, believing that this was a local conscientious enterprise. When Mantiantang sued Phoenix Company and He Xi, many readers also signed a joint signature to win the lawsuit.

Readers are simple. They believe that Gundam is the creation of several veteran cartoonists in the Far East, and they feel that their approach is just.

Phoenix Company and He Xi did not explain it to the outside world, which made many readers even think that they were escaping. However, after "Gundam Seed" came out, it was like a slap, wrapped hard on the faces of these readers.

It hurts so much...

"We worked so hard to help Mantian, but it turned out to be a liar. After the incident was exposed, he refused to apologize to us!"

The readers were injured, and the most hurt was those who believed in Mantian wholeheartedly. They were hit hard and found themselves being exploited. In anger, they were angry and vented their anger on Mantian.

Within a few weeks, Mantiantang's comic sales began to drop sharply. Not only did readers everywhere not calm down, but instead, Mantiantang was slow to explain. The emotions spread more and more widely.

Some people began to send insulting letters to Mantiantang, while more radical readers bought Mantiantang's magazines. The videos were shot into burnt and uploaded online...

In the heavens, I suddenly encountered an unprecedented public relations crisis.

In this era of information development, the emergence of a public relations crisis only requires one opportunity, and Mantiantang is just a company that has been established for only half a year, and it has not gained the full trust of readers.

For example, Phoenix Company and Zhongxia Company, both have accumulated credibility for several years and have many ways to deal with crises. But for the new company Mantiantang, if this crisis cannot be handled properly, the entire company may be trapped in a quagmire.

But by the time Suzuki Aki found the danger, it was already very late...

"How could this happen? It's only been a few days... How could it be so big!"

Aki Suzuki was so anxious that he was still holding subtle hopes in his heart. If "Gundam Seed" was weak, Mantian would not be able to continue lying.

But now, let alone the lack of succession and no trace, it is difficult for readers to deal with it.

"The press conference is held soon... No, there will be a program interview tonight, right?"

Aki Suzuki asked the secretary that he wanted to take some action to stabilize the reader's mood.

"Yes, I booked half a month ago. There is an interview program for "The Strongest Mobile Suit" tonight... President, you are..."

The secretary was a little surprised, and he didn't think Suzuki Akira apologized.

Mantian has already gone to this point and has no choice but to retreat. If they apologize publicly, it will confirm other people's ideas, let alone revitalize the whole company's credibility. It would be better to maintain the current situation...

"I'll go there tonight to interview with the TV station... Also, go find Teacher Matsuhara and others for me, and then ask them to memorize this matter..."

Aki Suzuki told the plan in detail in the secretary's ear. After he finished speaking, the secretary was a little embarrassed and nodded, "I know how to do it, President, I will do this!"

Mantian cannot admit that they have made mistakes, so Suzuki Aki now has only one way to do it - throw the stolen pot to those 'fathers of mobile suits'.

As long as those cartoonists admit that they lie and deceive Mantian, Mantian is the innocent victim, the reader's anger will shift and Mantian can escape safely.

But it is difficult to do this. Cartoonists value reputation. If there is a problem with their character, it will be difficult for this cartoonist to get up again. Therefore, the "Father of Mobile Suits" will definitely not be willing to take the blame.

But it's fine...

In the evening, on the way to Tokyo TV, Suzuki Aki received a call from his secretary: "President, the teachers all agree... You can throw everything on them tonight."

“How much did it cost?”

Aki Suzuki felt a little distressed. The way he asked the secretary to use was to coerce and make confusing. The first choice was money, but if they asked for the price too high, it would be very unprofitable.

"The total is 20 million, and each of the four teachers is 5 million. Teacher Panasonic disagreed. He said that his life's income is more than 5 million, so..."

The secretary whispered on the phone: "I sent someone to take his son to the hospital. Without spending a penny, Teacher Panasonic knelt down and agreed."

Threat and violence are also an option. Shopping malls are like battlefields, and Aki Suzuki is very satisfied with the result.

"Well done, you ask them to make up excuses, and then hold a press conference to make them apologize to the society."

After hanging up the phone, Suzuki Aki breathed a sigh of relief. There was no problem this time. Not to mention readers, there was no excuse for He Xi to cause trouble for them.

Mantiantang will also be the largest comic company in Jidong.

"I lost this time, but He Xi... As long as Mantian is still in Jidong, your comics will definitely not be a good seller!"

Aki Suzuki gritted his teeth and thought that the animation was not good, he also had comics.

At this time, Meng Huo was warmly welcomed in an office of Tokyo TV.

"Welcome, Teacher He Xi, thank you for being willing to come!"

Tokyo TV Director Sasaki showed an excited look at Meng Huo. The Tokyo TV station in this world is just a regional TV station, and it is not as good as the previous life.

Although He Xi is just a cartoonist, he is a cartoonist with an influence that is comparable to an idol superstar and a fast-risen man. His potential is enough for Sasaki to come up to greet him in person.

Of course...even if there is no such reason, it is a dream for many TV stations to invite He Xi - He Xi has never appeared in the media since his debut, and he is famous for being difficult to invite.

"Teacher He Xi must have a good impression of our TV station."

Sasaki thought eagerly that they just sent an invitation this time, but He Xi agreed without saying a word. Doesn’t this unprecedented action mean that He Xi attaches great importance to Tokyo TV?

"Why is this old guy so excited..."

But looking at Sasaki's flushed face, Meng Huo had goose bumps, thinking he had met a gay man.

There was no special reason for him to come to the TV station this time. It was just that a year of travel made him understand more clearly that he had to move forward with all his strength, and the media was a necessary tool - this was also the reason why he decided to reopen the He Xi celebration.
