Chapter nine hundred and ninety seventh: defense
On March 13, the comics and animations of "Fate" were completed at the same time. The sensation caused by this short work surprised many people. Not only did the news of the movie, Zhongxia Company also successfully created the genius image of "New comic artist Jingyue".
But on this day, the most eye-catching news was not "Fate", but He Xi - he graduated from Suhua University. To be more precise, today is the day when he participated in the thesis defense and took graduation photos, which was the last process before graduation.
Suhua University's action this time was much faster than that of Yenching University and Huaxia Conservatory of Music. After Meng Huo handed over his graduation thesis in February, the teachers immediately reviewed it and determined the thesis defense time on March 13.
This is a public defense, specially prepared for him alone.
"Teacher He Xi, I'm so early in advance, I'm going to cause you some trouble this time." Before the defense, the principal personally found Meng Huo to apologize. They only announced the news yesterday, but it instantly triggered the media, and dozens of media rushed over overnight.
Suhua University naturally expected this situation, but they still chose to make public defense, which was suspected of advertising for their own schools.
"It doesn't matter, it's good." Meng Huo also knew what they were thinking, but he didn't think there was anything wrong with it. There is an advantage of public defense, which can prove that he graduated as fairly as others and prevent the media from spreading rumors about him in advance.
Before this defense, early in the morning, Meng Huo's paper was announced to the reporters who came to the scene. The defense time was two hours, far exceeding that of ordinary graduates, and the reporter also had the opportunity to ask questions during the defense to ensure Meng Huo's real materials.
Phoenix Company attaches great importance to this defense and sends a professional team to record it - He Xi's graduation is a very important thing. This is a signature event for his future life experience. It is necessary to ensure that no one will catch the braid.
In addition to Phoenix Company and various media, there were also crowded students who wanted to see He Xi’s style in the defense venue.
"This scene is like a concert..." Qin Ya, who was sitting in the venue, looked around, and the crowded scene shocked her. Then she picked up her camera and took a photo: "I want to write down this scene. This is the most spectacular graduation defense ever."
He Qian, Zhou Qian and others were sitting next to Qin Ya, and Ye Xiong also came over - they were all here to join in the fun.
"I really didn't expect that Teacher He Xi would graduate from college so soon." Ye Xiong sighed: "I still remember when he first met me, he was still a child. At first I didn't want him to study!"
He recalled the first time when many young people met He Xi, if it weren't for the extraordinary high school entrance examination results of this child, he might not have helped He Xi contact the school, and now he would not have seen the scene of his graduation.
"After the defense is over, will the teacher graduate?" Qin Ya asked.
"After the defense and graduation photo are over, the only thing left is to get the graduation certificate." Zhou Qian helped answer: "But someone can be sent to get the graduation certificate. After today, the teacher can be regarded as having graduated."
He Qian smiled: "I haven't even come to school a few times, so it's really easy for Teacher He Xi to get this graduation certificate."
"No, this is the most difficult one, okay..." Qin Ya said admiringly: "If I had this ability, I wouldn't have chosen to drop out of school at the beginning."
She just doesn't like going to school, not wanting a diploma. He Xi's way of obtaining a diploma is jaw-dropping and unable to pick on it. Everyone is paying attention, which makes Qin Ya envious.
And there are three top universities, this is just the first one!
"When did Teacher He Xi learn?" Qin Ya thought, why did he always do things that others could not do? Could it be that he really has no talent defects?
Although curious, Qin Ya soon became drowsy during the debate - she couldn't understand.
At the beginning of the debate, Meng Huo explained the paper, full of professional terms and data, and Qin Ya was dizzy when she heard it. After Meng Huo finished speaking and officially entered the defense session, the teachers at Suhua University asked one more major than another, and Qin Ya could hardly understand the questions and answers.
Qin Ya regained her spirits when the reporters asked questions later. These reporters were not so professional, but each one was more tricky. Qin Ya felt that they could not answer most of the questions themselves, but Meng Huo still answered them one by one.
His answer could not be said to be perfect, and he showed a hint of embarrassment several times in the middle, but overall, the whole debate was still very professional, and Meng Huo responded in an orderly manner and could not find any weaknesses.
"You can rest assured now." At the end of the defense, Ye Xiong breathed a sigh of relief. After this debate, no one could question Meng Huo's academic level in the future. The reporters present also admired him and it was impossible to report the problems that made Meng Huo difficult. In fact, if these problems were published, they would only make readers feel that the reporters were deliberately looking for trouble.
In fact, Meng Huo's actions this day were broadcast live on the Internet, and tens of thousands of fans watched online. This was an important public relations activity. When Meng Huo defended, every question and answer would be annotated online, and every difficult problem would always arouse the anger of fans.
"It's here again, this question has nothing to do with the paper, right?"
"He is definitely making things difficult for Teacher He Xi on purpose!? Which reporter from which family is this? Sisters, let others beat him up!"
"The teacher is so pitiful, but he answered it, it's great...it's a good answer!"
"That's right, master's students can't answer better... If anyone dares to slander Teacher He Xi, I will kill him!"
——In front of fans like this, even if a reporter does not believe in evil, they have to consider it carefully.
The two-hour public defense, as the final assessment of the university, is a more convincing proof than the transcript. After the defense, Meng Huo received a bachelor's uniform specially given by the school, and then began to take photos - just like the public defense, his graduation photo process was also made public.
Apart from the school’s teachers and leaders, Meng Huo has no other people who take photos with him. Most of the time, he stands alone at the school attractions and is photographed alone - and then there are a group of bystanders around him.
This is also the school’s arrangement in desperation. He was in the same class as Meng Huo. In fact, his classmates were still in junior year and did not know each other. Senior graduates also need to take photos in another month.
After discussion, the school leaders finally chose to let Meng Huo take photos alone. Many artists and celebrities who debuted very early made the same arrangements when they graduated from college. Meng Huo naturally had no objection to such arrangements. He did not want to delay taking photos with others next month if they could solve them in one day.
However, his appearance caused unexpected results...
Qin Ya took a few photos behind the cameraman and suddenly said, "I always feel... Teacher He Xi is a little lonely..."
Ye Xiong, Zhou Qian and others nodded immediately in agreement, right? It wasn't that strange. It was originally not surprising that he took photos alone, but wherever He Xi went, there were always hundreds of people watching around him, but no one accompanied him to take photos. The contrast was too clear.
“Many girls cried on the forum.”
He Qian held her mobile phone and saw that many sentimental female fans at He Xizhi Home Forum were made to cry by the live broadcast scene.
"Teacher He Xi is so pitiful!"
"It's so cruel. I never thought about what it would be like to have no classmates and friends around me."
"Yes, everyone has seen Teacher He Xi's talent, but who can see his efforts... In order to bring us more works, he has dedicated his youth."
"As aged 15 to 21, Teacher He Xi studied alone and graduated alone. Why did he suddenly feel so abused..."
"Don't say it, I'll cry as soon as you say it, for 6 years!"
"6 years...wow..."
Looking at the picture on He Qian's mobile phone screen, Ye Xiong, Zhou Qian and others looked at each other. These fans were too sensitive - but in this way, wouldn't Phoenix Company seem to be very heartless and harm He Xi?
"Or." Qin Ya's eyes rolled and she said, "We will take photos with Teacher He Xi?"
Ye Xiong was surprised: "This is a graduation photo, it's not very good!"
"No, I think this is a good idea." He Qian was eager to try: "Call some other employees on the scene, let's support Mr. He Xi together!"
Ye Xiong was still hesitating, but Qin Ya suddenly put the camera on her neck and pulled Zhou Qian to Meng Huo. When He Qian saw it, she suddenly cheered: "The company is here to join in the fun, don't be stunned, just let me go!"
Suddenly, dozens of people ran towards Meng Huo, and Ye Xiong was stunned. Why were these employees so ignorant? But thinking so, he ran inside.
"Hey, what are you doing!"
The photographer was shocked, but someone took the scene down and then appeared in the live broadcast screen.
"Damn, what are they doing!?"
"These are employees of Phoenix Company..."
"No, no...you see, there are also reporters and students running over!"
The shooting scene at Suhua University was in chaos, and Meng Huo was shocked. Somehow, many strangers suddenly appeared beside him, and some girls rushed towards him.
"Bastard, that girl, don't touch Teacher He Xi!"
"Protect the teacher!"
At the end of the live broadcast, the scene was in chaos.
"...It's a big riot!" In Tokyo, Xia Chuan, who was waiting for the performance in the backstage, was flipping through the tablet computer and looking at the live broadcast on the forum. The photos behind were all riot scenes. Some girls first surrounded He Xi, and then were opened by the employees of Phoenix Company.
In the final shot, He Qian and Zhou Qian stood beside Meng Huo and showed a victory expression in front of the camera. Qin Ya snatched Meng Huo's bachelor's hat and put it on her head openly - under the photo is a group of forum members complaining.
"Princess, do you think you are a college student wearing a bachelor's hat?"
"No matter how much you cover up, you are just a fool high school student..."
"Teacher He Xi's last graduation photo was actually taken away by the princess!"
In the last photo, Qin Ya actually caused more topics than He Xi, which made Xia Chuan giggle, but she noticed that Meng Huo had a smile on his face. It seemed that he didn't hate the last riot.
There were no photos next, but after taking the graduation photo, He Xi also accepted interviews from several reporters, and the content of the interview was also recorded online.
"Jingyue?" Xia Chuan Zhen noticed that in addition to the "graduation", the reporters' other topics were focused on the mysterious cartoonist "Jingyue".
This is not surprising at all. After all, today is the day when the animation and comics of "Fate" are completed. It can be said that apart from He Xi's graduation, the most popular topic today is "Fate".
"Sister Chen, the author of "Fate", is Jingyue from the Jidong District? He looks amazing!" Xia Chuanzhen turned around and asked Chen Jie around him. Chen Jie was also watching the forum, and the reason why she was here was to attend the concert.
Just like Meng Huo dealing with her private affairs after graduation, Chen Jie started performing in various places when she was at work after the Chinese New Year - she wanted to maintain a certain amount of performances and maintain the popularity of voice actors.
This is also the reason why Chen Jie did not go to see Meng Huo’s defense.
After hearing Xia Chuan's real inquiry, Chen Jie also remembered the rumors that Jingyue was a native of the East District that she had heard. Many people knew about that rumor, but she still shook her head: "I don't know where Jingyue is. Now it's just a rumor. His identity has not been exposed yet, and it's not particularly powerful."
"But my brother seemed to be very interested in him, and he also said that he might be his enemy..."
Xia Chuan Zhen further said that He Xi expressed his interest in Jingyue without any concealment in the interview, which is a scene that is difficult to see. He Xi’s recognition of the ‘enemy’ will undoubtedly have an effect on the increase in Jingyue’s popularity.
However, in Shen Jie's opinion, it is better to say that Meng Huo is more interested in "unknown things".
"Real, you don't understand Meng Huo." Chen Jie smiled and mocked Xia Chuan's real head: "He stands too high and sometimes he can't see the direction. It may not be that he really regards Jingyue as an opponent, but because Meng Huo needs to find an opponent, Jingyue is just more in line with his expectations."
"The cartoonist who has not been exposed is full of mystery and can hold his expectations - but if the moon comes out, the situation will be different."
Once Jingyue's true body was exposed, Chen Jie felt that Meng Huo would definitely not continue to be interested in him. His interest was based on the "unknown", rather than the other party's strength really made him feel threatened.
