Big Manga

Chapter 36: Toss and Fans (Part 1)

Because it felt like a trap, Meng Huo didn't take winning the prize to heart.

On the way back, he gossiped about the relationship between Alice and Xu Jing.

"He is my dad, but not related by blood."

Alice smiled bitterly, and she told Meng Huo her life experience. It's actually very simple, her mother was dumped by her boyfriend when she was pregnant, and then married the older Xu Jing. At that time, Xu Jing was a depressed office worker. After marrying Alice's mother, he worked hard and became the chairman of Phoenix Company.

Although he and Alice are not related by blood, they have a very good relationship. Alice's original name was 'Xu Qian'. She didn't want to be known about her relationship with Xu Jing, so she changed to a western name after graduating from university.

Alice struggled alone in Yanjing for several years, and she gave up her job as a manager and returned to Ninghai until last month.

"Is it because of me?"

Meng Huo took a deep breath. If this is the case, then Xu Jing thinks too much of himself, and even called his daughter back to be his editor after a long distance.

"No, it's just a coincidence that I'm your editor." Alice shook her head. She had nothing to do when she returned to Ninghai, and it happened that Xu Jing was selecting Meng Huo's editor again, so she volunteered: "The entertainment industry is too complicated, I think it's better to be an editor." Manga editing is easy."

The entertainment industry is indeed complicated. When many people think that the entertainment industry is an unspoken rule, Meng Huo looked at Alice with a slightly subtle look.

"What are you thinking!" Alice said kindly: "Don't think about messy things, CCTV's animation invitation, do you want to contribute?"

When this matter was mentioned, Meng Huo cheered up.

"Yes, of course, but I have to investigate for a few days first!"

He is very interested in CCTV's animation. That animation only needs to provide stories and settings, and the cartoonist is not responsible for other work, which can just fill up his free time. However, the comic industry in this world has not been developed for a long time, and the quality of animation needs to be investigated.

"That's it."

Alice's face darkened when she heard this answer: "It's a pity..."

"A few days ago, the editor-in-chief of Weekly Girls called me and wanted to ask you to draw a short shoujo manga, so I had to refuse her."

Meng Huo frowned slightly: "Why do you want me to draw girl manga?"

He felt strange, "Detective Conan" has more female readers than male readers. Could it be that this incident caused others to misunderstand that he is suitable for drawing girls' comics?

"Your style is very suitable for shoujo comics." Sure enough, Alice confirmed Meng Huo's suspicion: "Now many people in the company say that "Detective Conan" can be popular in shoujo comics, and your speed is not very fast." ?”

She had seen Meng Huo's paintings, and she still remembered that efficient painting technique.

"Adding a short comic should be no problem for you, and you don't need to serialize it for a long time."

Alice seems to want Meng Huo to draw cartoons, but Meng Huo has no interest in girl cartoons. He thinks that the national-level cartoons that CCTV will produce are more worth looking forward to.

In the next few days, Meng Huo investigated the quality of cartoons in this world, and the answers he got were very exciting. The quality of animation and animation in this world is not lower than that of the previous life. Many technologies have a good foundation before the birth of comics. Coupled with the advanced technological strength compared with the previous life, the development speed of animation is far faster than that of comics.

Meng Huo decided to submit the manuscript without hesitation, but at this moment, an unexpected thing happened.

Since Meng Huo did not participate in the comic award presentation, his identity was once again questioned, and the "Theory of He Xi Three People" once again appeared on the front pages of major newspapers and periodicals. And this time the doubts did not dissipate as before, but intensified with time.

Meng Huo didn't take it seriously at first, but by the time he found out, the matter had become serious, and even the chat group he was in was full of turmoil.

"Sisters, He Xi turned out to be three people. We were all deceived! The truth has been exposed in the news and in the media. No wonder he was absent on the day of the award ceremony. It was a scam created by Phoenix Company from the beginning!"

"It's disgusting. It turned out that several people drew comics together, and Mr. Mach was wronged."

Meng Huo was a little puzzled, how the rumors in the chat group seemed to be true.

He searched on the Internet and soon found the answer. It turned out that some photos were circulating on the Internet. The content of those photos are all three men, there is a scene where they walk into Phoenix Company, there is a scene where they draw comics together, and there is also a scene where the drawing is halfway through...

That picture was exactly the same as Meng Huo's poster. Although it was not complete, the date shown in the photo was before the poster was released. Not only that, there is also a blurry contract photo of "Detective Conan" in these photos, which looks like it was taken in a panic, and the signature cannot be seen clearly, but there are three names on it.

"What's going on here!" Meng Huo felt extremely absurd. He looked again and found that the people in these pictures had been blurred, and their appearance could not be seen at all.

And the source of these pictures turned out to be "insiders of Phoenix Company". All news and reports that use these pictures will add a sentence: These pictures are provided by insiders of Phoenix Company. There is a mosaic on the face.

As soon as Meng Huo saw the content, he knew that it was full of loopholes. How could an insider who knew his identity show the photos of three people?

But he thought this way, but other netizens didn't think so. Under the bombardment of countless microblogs and information, these netizens immediately followed suit and cursed without asking indiscriminately.

"What a pity to get out!"

"Liar, pay us back the money we paid for the magazine!"

"Phoenix Company apologizes!"

The situation became worse and worse. Even though Phoenix Company quickly took countermeasures, it issued several statements in succession to no avail.

Alice's complexion also became very bad.

"Someone hired internet speculators." She said to Meng Huo, "They're deliberately targeting you. You just ignore them for a while. As long as the comics are good, no matter how much they bother you."

Internet speculators originally refer to Internet groups that use Internet media to plan, implement, and promote specific objects to generate influence and popularity. But these groups often do everything for money. They are familiar with the rules of network operations and the psychology of the public. They often fabricate facts and maliciously frame them. They are usually lawless.

And the more you pay attention to this kind of people, the more excited they will be, and they will try their best to attack the loopholes in your words.

"Meng Huo, our statement has no effect, you should go to the official website to appease the readers." Alice said, "If you clean up, you clean up yourself. Don't argue with those online speculators."

Meng Huo nodded, then took a screenshot of the pictures of the three men, and then calmly logged into the official website and wrote: "Excuse me, why do these three primates have no faces?"
