Chapter 76: Substitute
Ye Xiong's handling method is very appropriate. He first calmed the crowd's emotions. Then he announced that He Xi bought the copyright of "time, after, time" and asked them to delete the video they shot.
This is not a lie. The copyright of "time, after, time" originally belonged to He Xi. But of course, this request made fans very dissatisfied.
Fortunately, China has strict copyright protection, and rational fans have taken the initiative to delete the video, and other people are driven by their friends to do so. In order to get them to cooperate, Ye Xiong agreed to let these people take away the recording.
The sequelae of singing subsided very gently, and neither Meng Huo nor Shen Jie were affected, but it was difficult to guarantee that someone would have hidden a video privately, so Ye Xiong issued a warning.
"If we see the appearance of the "time, after, time" singing video on the Internet or elsewhere, we will hold the communicator legally responsible."
This basically cut off the possibility of communication as soon as you say it. Everyone knows that He Xi has hacked readers, and it only takes a minute to find out the video disseminator. In Chinese law, this kind of communication behavior will not be jailed, but the amount of the fine can be linked to the benefits created by "time, after, time" in the next three years.
No one is sure how much money "time, after, time" will make. If they don't pay enough attention to spreading, they are likely to lose everything.
However, Ye Xiong deliberately did not prohibit the spread of recordings. He knew that recording would increase the popularity of "Detective Conan". The performance of "time, after, time" this time only has a piano accompaniment, which is considered a semi-finished product. The leak will not affect the finished product, but will have a promotional effect.
"This reader thank-you meeting was held in a hurry, but in the past two days we saw everyone's enthusiastic participation and gained enough experience." Ye Xiong said on the stage: "On behalf of Teacher He Xi, I would like to thank you for your support. The second volume of "Detective Conan" will be released next month, please support me."
Warm applause and cater to the stage.
"Today's performance ends here, but before the meeting ended, we prepared gifts. I think some readers may have already received the number ball." Ye Xiong pointed to the corner and smiled: "Readers with number balls can now go there and receive gifts from our staff."
He then said a few more polite words and stepped down amid applause. The stage lights dimmed, and the performance of the thanks meeting was completely over.
Curious readers walked to the corner and were surprised to find that "Conan" had disappeared, but "Xiaolan" was still there. The gift was distributed at the table where the number balls were collected. The table was placed with postcards as before, and no other gifts were seen.
"Sister, where is the gift? I want a gift!"
A little girl handed the number ball up.
"Okay, for you." Alice picked up a postcard and placed it carefully in the girl's hand: "This is a gift."
"postcard?"
Other readers were disappointed, but some people with sharp eyes quickly widened their eyes and screamed.
"Oh my God, it seems that Teacher He Xi's signature is on this postcard!"
"What, signature!?"
Wang Lei's ears moved. He originally wanted to ask two young people for an interview. He suddenly heard a scream halfway through and turned around and looked. The fans were running towards the corner, huddling together in a mess.
"Let me see, it's really the signature of Teacher He Xi!"
"Who has a number ball, I want to buy one!"
"Don't rob, please queue up everyone!"
Is there really He Xi’s signature? Wang Lei ran over excitedly. This is big news, much more important than those two young people!
At this moment, the two reporters also looked at each other: "Aren't those postcards blank?"
After seeing the venue, they knew everything about the postcards. There was nothing on those postcards. How could He Xi's signature suddenly appear?
The two walked over. In less than half a minute, the corner was already crowded with people, and fans on the outside could not enter and were talking.
"Absolutely, 'Conan' just now disappeared. I guess he is Teacher He Xi, because he never said anything from beginning to end, just raised the sign, and he deliberately concealed his identity!"
"When you mentioned this, I suddenly remembered that the song just now was also selected here! I'll just go, Teacher He Xi was in front of me, but I didn't recognize it!"
"Teacher He Xi is so cunning! He left after signing the autograph. Have you noticed when he left?"
"I saw it. He went out through the gate just after singing the song."
Hearing this, a reporter's mind flashed through the scene he saw not long ago.
"By the way, so that's it!" He slapped his thigh and said, "That Conan, when he was listening to the song just now, he lowered his head and wrote something. I felt strange. It turned out that he was Teacher He Xi and was signing the autograph at that time!"
He turned his head and glared at his companion: "Why did you say you were a staff member? We missed the opportunity in vain!"
"It's him?"
Another reporter was confused. How could it be Conan? He didn't expect it.
"What should I do now?"
"Go out quickly, Teacher He Xi can't run far, we might be able to catch up if we drive it out!"
The two reporters discussed a few words and then ran towards the gate.
As soon as they left, He Qian, who had been paying attention, also chased after him. After witnessing Meng Huo's piano performance, He Qian couldn't figure out whether her thoughts were wrong.
It is unlikely that a sixteen-year-old boy is a cartoonist and good at piano?
She felt suspicious, so when she saw the two reporters chasing out, she immediately took the same action. Regardless of whether Meng Huo was Teacher He Xi or not, she was worried that the two press conferences would catch up with Conan. Conan must have contact with Teacher He Xi. If they were caught up, the consequences would be very serious.
But what He Qian never expected was that Meng Huo was also seen by her figure running out.
Meng Huo just walked out of the backstage and discovered He Qian at first sight. Although the distance was not close, he looked very clearly from the side.
"He Qian!"
Without thinking, he chased after him without hesitation.
"Hey, wait, Meng Huo!"
Shen Jie found that Meng Huo wanted to leave, and she wanted to stop him, but suddenly her feet twisted, and hissed, and stopped.
"Shen Jie..." The two roommates hurriedly supported her and asked nervously: "Are you okay? Did you twist your feet?"
"No, almost." Shen Jie shook her head. She looked at her feet without twisting her feet, but the heel was broken. This was the result of stomping on the ground hard before. Shen Jie was always careful not to be discovered, but she was so excited that she forgot about it. Without the heels, she couldn't run away.
Shen Jie looked at Meng Huo's back angrily. Her eyesight was very good, and she could see clearly that Meng Huo's vision was chasing a woman, and the direction of his running was exactly the same as hers.
"Who is that woman..."
The first time, Chen Jie felt very unhappy.
(Thanks to Feng Yipiaomiao and Mengying? for their rewards!)
