Chapter 62: Propaganda Influence
The news that He Xi gave "The Legend of Wukong" to Longteng Company to publish quickly caused a sensation.
The eyes of major publishing houses and news companies fell all over the floor. It was a damn thing. How could He Xi sign a contract with Longteng?
"Why is it Longteng? Isn't it a mortal enemy of Teacher He Xi?"
"Is Teacher He Xi ready to change jobs and write novels?"
"Oh my God, don't, I want to read Teacher He Xi's comics even more!"
Many fans also left messages in Meng Huo's personal space. Fans expressed that they did not want him to reprint the novel. Meng Huo did not explain. He believed that Longteng Company would explain it clearly. As expected, within a few days, CCTV Culture Channel launched a special program on this matter.
At the beginning of the show, he praised "The Legend of Wukong", such as "renewing personal space records, with a total click volume of more than five million, an average of millions of readers reading it every day, and a dozen web pages were paralyzed, such as "adapting "Journey to the West", unprecedented successful works, peerless classics that cannot be missed, etc., a bunch of timid titles were placed on this book.
Then there were comments from various experts. Last time, he said that He Xi was not as good as Qin Ya's expert, who praised "The Legend of Wukong" without blushing, making the audience open their chins and sigh that while the experts were experts, their performance qualities were indeed strong.
The reporter then interviewed Li Ming and asked many topics that people were interested in.
"Editor Li, many people say that He Xi will not like Longteng Company. What method did you use to get the copyright of "The Legend of Wukong"?"
"There is no use of any solution... There is a misunderstanding here. Teacher He Xi is a very generous young man. He is very willing to hand over the "Biography of Wukong" to us."
"Young man? Editor-in-chief Li, have you ever met He Xi?"
"Yes, in the past, someone in our company spread rumors that He Xi was an organization, and now I will apologize and clarify." Li Ming in front of the camera said: "Teacher He Xi is a person worthy of admiration. I apologize to him for his previous misconduct, and I hope everyone will not believe the rumors in the future."
"He Xi is He Xi, he is alone."
There was an uproar in front of the TV. Some people who were originally He Xi's fans were already cheering excitedly. Longteng Company publicly apologized, how could Teacher He Xi be so powerful!
"Then Editor-in-Chief Li, will He Xi debut as a novelist in Longteng Company in the future?"
The reporter asked the fans another nervous question.
"No." Li Ming's answer made them feel relieved.
"Very good!"
"Teacher He Xi is so ***!"
"I actually made Long Teng apologize. It's so domineering!"
This special program made He Xi's fans unable to hold on. They excitedly left messages online, but ended up crowding He Xi's personal space. The website that provided the space was innocently shot, and since then he was nicknamed "Little Bastard Server".
Not only fans and readers, CCTV's program also surprised Phoenix Chairman Xu Jing.
"The younger generation is terrifying, and the younger generation is terrifying!"
Asking Alice to turn off the TV, Xu Jing clapped his hands and turned to look at Meng Huo: "You said this is just the beginning?"
"Yeah." Meng Huo nodded: "This is just the beginning. Longteng Company promised me that they would fully promote "The Legend of Wukong". I think there are many more times later."
Sure enough, the wealthy company is different. The opening promotion is CCTV. Meng Huo is not worried about the future of "The Legend of Wukong".
"It seems that Longteng has lost a lot of thought to you..."
Xu Jing's expression became a little dim. The gap between Phoenix and Longteng was too big. To put it nicely, it was the second most popular comics, but Longteng comics, which are the first in comics, were insignificant in the entire Longteng company. Xu Jing found that no matter how he did, he could not compare to Longteng's gift to Meng Huo.
"So, what's your reason for this time?"
Xu Jing sorted out his mind and was prepared for the worst. If Meng Huo wanted to switch to Longteng comics, "Inuyasha" and "Detective Conan" would never let him take him away.
"I came here to ask you something."
But Meng Huo came here not to change jobs. He asked, "Can I also invest in the royalties of "The Legend of Wukong"?"
“…”
This sentence lit up Xu Jing's eyes.
What does this kid mean? He actually wants to increase contact with Phoenix Company? That's great!

Longteng Company, the reporter interviewed just left shortly after, the angry Qin Ya ran into Li Ming's office:
"This is unfair, why does the company advertise He Xi!"
She shouted.
Li Ming put down the pen in his hand and looked at her with a smile: "Unfair? Qin Ya, why do you think it's unfair? Is He Xi's popularity one-fifth of yours?"
Qin Ya snorted: "Of course not."
"Since you know, you should also understand why the company is sad about advertising this time. It has increased his popularity in a short period of time, but it is definitely less than half of yours." Li Ming smiled and said frugal: his voice was sunk: "Your influence still has the advantage, so why do you say unfair? If you want to say unfair, it is sad rather than you. Do you have no confidence in your comics?"
Qin Ya was said to be thoughtful and her face turned pale slightly.
Her comics are indeed of no match for He Xi, but that's because...
"What he drew was not a girl's comic at all." Qin Ya gritted her teeth: "There are many male readers in that comic, and it's not fair. The most powerful girl's comic is still me!"
"What is a girl comic? A comic with only romance?" Li Ming smiled bitterly. He shook his head and said slowly: "Qin Ya, you are wrong. Whether it is novels or comics, love is very important, but it is not the only important thing. And you have many male fans, you will not be able to use it."
Qin Ya is beautiful, which is her natural charm. With the title of a well-known novelist, I don’t know how many boys have longing for her. Unfortunately, the works are too feminine and rarely will be watched by boys.
If she is willing to change, there will definitely be many male readers.
"You go back and think about it!"
Seeing that Qin Ya did not respond, Li Ming asked her to go out.
Qin Ya walked out of the editorial department alone, feeling very angry and uncomfortable. Longteng Company promoted He Xi with a big fanfare, which was like her biological father slapped her hard.
"He Xi, damn He Xi!"
Qin Ya was chanting this name. Who was he? Why did he have to stand in front of him?
"I must defeat him and be proud..." Qin Ya turned her head and looked at the editorial department of Longteng's novels. This place that had been with her for two years. She swore in her heart that if she could not defeat He Xi and become the most powerful girl cartoonist.
"I will never come back to write novels in my life!"
Qin Ya was furious and resolutely walked towards the abyss that could not be turned back.
