Chapter 40: Burning
There was no reply to this submission after a week.
Just when Meng Huo was wondering if CCTV was already considering it, animation news suddenly played on TV.
"After several months of screening, our station decided to create the animation "Cat and Mouse Couple". This is a fun animation about cats and two mice fighting wits and courage. The original story was provided by Li Qing, a children's writer of Longteng Company, and was painted by Xifeng, a well-known cartoonist...."
Seeing this news, Meng Huo was shocked. Why has CCTV's animation decided and he also selected the original plan of Longteng Company!?
"Cat and Mouse Couple"?
Meng Huo searched for information about this animation online, with very little information, but he could see some things. The structure of this animation should be similar to the previous life "Cat and Mouse". The plot of one cat and mouse in one episode is the plot of a cat and mouse. The difference is that there are two mice in this film, and there may be a scene where your wife is caught and her husband is rescued. It is very flexible and interactive.
The original story is Li Qing, a very famous children's writer. The stories he wrote are innocent, cheerful and interesting. Xifeng is a cartoon cartoonist famous for his cute painting style. He often adapts children's novels and comics. Both of them belong to Longteng Company and successfully joined hands to win the original CCTV animation case.
Meng Huo was a little disappointed. "Pokemon" was eliminated. This was his first failure in this world. However, it was not surprising that CCTV chose "Cat and Mouse Couple". This animation obviously paid more attention to the plot portrayal of each episode, and the market risk was smaller than "Pokemon".
But Meng Huo still believes that "Pokemon" has the greatest potential. He is committed to his efforts three times in a row. CCTV is really helpless without vision. Now he can only bring "Pokemon" back first to see if he can find other people who know the goods.
However, two days later, the original manuscript of "Pokemon" was still not sent back.
Meng Huo asked Alice to contact CCTV, and the response he received was that he had sent it back, but when he asked about the express delivery number, the other party was stunned.
"Anyway, we sent it back. If we didn't receive it, it would be a problem with the express company. We did not save the order number!"
The order number was not saved? Meng Huo was shocked when he heard this. What's his attitude? Who knows if you don't have the order number? If "Pokemon" disappears silently or falls into the hands of others, then will his efforts during this period be wasted?
Meng Huo asked Phoenix Company to come forward to inquire, but CCTV still said the same thing after delaying for a few days. They sent it but had no order number and ignored it.
Meng Huo angrily posted the matter to the official website. When the fans saw that He Xi’s original manuscript was gone, it was amazing! Some radical fans immediately began to accuse CCTV, while other rational fans began to investigate the express waybills that had not been delivered during this period.
Since the previous incident of Mach framed He Xi has not subsided, the fans were also very excited this time, which quickly attracted the attention of CCTV. A few days later, CCTV posted an explanation text on its official website.
"After investigation, we did receive three submissions from "Pokemon". Because the content quality cannot meet the standards, we returned the first two times. After the third review, the staff responsible for the return of the submission burned it on their own initiative to prevent the original author from submitting the fourth time."
"We deeply apologize for this. The employee has been fired. Please forgive me!"
This explanation made Meng Huo jump up, and the original manuscript of "Pokemon" was burned down? How could CCTV make such a low-level mistake? And it didn't say who the employee was, and it was even more uncertain about the authenticity of the dismissal.
Is CCTV lying to him again?
Just when Meng Huo was shocked, Longteng Company quickly used this incident to make a big report, hyping He Xi everywhere about He Xi's talent, while Li Qing and Xifeng obtained CCTV's animation copyright and claimed that their strength exceeded He Xi's.
Even cartoonist Xifeng said this in the media.
"Some people have been fantastic recently. They become arrogant because of their luck. Anyway, I don't understand the mentality of licking their butts and continuing to go on even though they can't pass the review. I heard that the man wrote to others to see the potential of the work. Who do he thinks he is? No matter how you read a worthless story, it's rubbish."
Although Xifeng did not say who that person was, many people understood that he was talking about He Xi, the author of "Detective Conan", and the media became lively again.
"Three rejections, He Xi's original manuscript was burned with lack of value!", "The talent of Jiang Lang was over, and experts predict that He Xi's fall would be as rapid as his rise.", "Are you still looking forward to He Xi's new work? No need, he will only die with the famous detective Conan."
There are countless people who are accusing themselves of bad things. Those who have never read the original manuscript of "Pokemon" regard it as garbage. Many people think that He Xi is just like this and will never be able to write excellent works in the future.
However, fans of "Detective Conan" support He Xi on the Internet. Who is Xifeng? He is one of the three photos of Teacher Mach. Fans who know about this all hated him and said that Xifeng was holding a grudge and deliberately humiliated He Xi.
In fact, the photo has nothing to do with He Xi at all. It was obvious that when Mach framed He Xi, he accidentally injured Xifeng, and fans were injustice.
"Come on, come on, release an excellent work to shut up!"
"What's the good thing about "Cat and Mouse Couple"? CCTV's vision is blind. We will always support you!"
The support of these fans touched Meng Huo a little. After the holy war and the last tossing, He Xi's hardcore fan group gradually took shape. However, Meng Huo saw a strange message from Xifeng's words, why did he know that there was a letter in the original manuscript of "Pokemon"?
Alice quickly used her previous connections, and she found a friend from CCTV and got the truth.
It turned out that the director Wang Ming, who burned "Pokemon" was the director who was responsible for selecting the script this time. This director has adapted comics and novels into animations many times before. He has a very close relationship with Longteng Company. This action is likely to be instructed by Longteng Company.
Moreover, this director has not been fired now, so CCTV will certainly not fire a director for He Xi, so it would be fine if he taught a few lessons.
"Meng Huo, let's just forget about this..." Alice sighed: "Even if you draw "Pokemon" again, no one will make animations. Our influence is limited now, and no TV station will be willing to offend CCTV for you."
Meng Huo looked dissatisfied, but he was very calm. If "Pokemon" failed the review, then forget it, but he would never tolerate others burning his works! And as soon as this happened, Meng Huo found that no matter which world there was a complicated side, he should take the initiative in his own hands.
"Alice, can we make our own animation?"
