Big Manga

Chapter 153: Cut in Half

ps: After it was put on the shelves, I was very confused, and my words began to be chaotic... Maybe I read too many book reviews, and the direction is a bit different. It’s not going to work like this, don’t read book reviews, calm down for a while, the follow-up plot will be re-enacted, there may be some slight differences from the previous one, first transition the plot, and then launch multiple comics at the same time... Find the rhythm and return to the focus of the comics

"Quickly suppress me!"

In a small studio in Ninghai, Zhuang Hao looked at the top-ranked post on the forum, and said angrily, "If the post of "Pokemon" continues to be ranked first, our bonus will fly away!"

Zhuang Hao controls an online hype group. Today they received a new job to hype "The Young Emperor". Tianhui Animation Company hopes to make "The Young Emperor" famous.

It was originally a very easy task, but Zhuang Hao never expected that a group of dark horses would suddenly run out and occupy the first place in a short time.

"Boss, this won't work, too many people liked that post."

"Yeah, we don't have enough vests, shit, what's going on with "Pokemon", each post is very popular, we suppressed them all night, and it ended up giving us a random picture. exploded!"

"Is someone interfering with us?"

Several team members spoke one after another, and Zhuang Hao's expression turned cold. They have tens of thousands of forum vests in their hands, and the general hype is always good, but this time it is indeed not quite right.

He looked at the post, and the number of comments was still rising, with dozens of people replying almost every second, which was completely impossible under normal circumstances.

"Quickly find out who is interfering with us!"

Zhuang Hao confirmed that the other party must also have a brush, and quickly asked someone to check. It is not difficult for them to find out the result. They are familiar with the vests of some famous gangs.

However, after a while. A team member suddenly screamed.

"It's from the Hongmeng, not a hype organization, they are from the Hongmeng!"

"Red League!?"

Zhuang Hao was taken aback, and then took a deep breath. The Hongmeng is a non-governmental hacker organization serially on the Internet. How could they participate in the Internet hype?

"Stop, stop trying!"

Zhuang Hao hurriedly shouted,

They can't afford Hongmeng. Although that hacker organization does not do illegal and criminal things, it has a lot of small tricks.

"It's too late, we were discovered!"

"Boss, sorry, our account has been stolen!"

The forum vest of this hype group began to drain rapidly.

Jiayuan District

Meng Huo witnessed the disappearance of the "Young Emperor" post on the forum, and then it was taken over by the gushing "Detective Conan" post.

How is this going?

The number one ranking is still "Pokemon in my mind", but now Meng Huo no longer thinks it is a simple fan art. Obviously, a cyber war just happened.

can do this. Meng Huo thought of someone.

"He Qian, are you surfing the Internet?"

He took out his cell phone and called. The voice from the other side was a little surprised.

"Mr. He Qian, did you see it? That's right... that "Young Emperor" is surfing the forum tonight, so we cleaned it up a bit."

As expected, He Qian did it.

"The painting in that post was also drawn by you?"

"That's not true. We have a small number of people, so we can only find a post to top it. It can serve as a bait to attract the attention of those promoters, and then we can steal the account."

He Qian replied, and then said: "However, the owner of this picture is very famous. There is a forum on the Internet that publishes fans of your works. He is an active member of the forum. Teacher He Xi, haven't you noticed?"

"Is there such a thing?" Meng Huo was surprised. He had never heard of the forum before: "What's the name of that forum?"

"He Xi's House."

After getting the answer, Meng Huo found He Xi's House on the Internet. This is a forum with an independent server, which is equivalent to a website, and the number of registered members is 49987!

The forum is divided into several modules - ""Detective Conan" fan release area", ""Inuyasha" fan release area"... All Meng Huo's works appear on it.

And the content in these modules is even more amazing, from reviews of various works to extra novels, from pictures to videos, and even games.

Although most of the things are very simple and vulgar, the enthusiasm of the members is very high. Meng Huo made a preliminary calculation and found that the number of articles published by the same person every day exceeded 100.

"how can that be!"

Meng Huo was a little confused. This forum broke his previous thinking. He thought it would take a long time for the development of fandom in this world, but the situation is not quite like it.

Isn't this He Xi Family equivalent to a small fan organization?

Why didn't Alice tell him! The next day, Meng Huo asked Alice about this matter, but Alice was also surprised.

"There is this forum?"

She then frowned slightly and said, "I haven't heard of it. It shouldn't be a for-profit forum, right? If it's for-profit, it's copyright infringement, and I'll definitely know about it."

The works of He Xi's House are all free and have little influence, so Alice doesn't think so.

However, Meng Huo has a different opinion. He wants to get He Xi's House. This forum has great potential. If it is used well, it may become a link in the development of his colleagues.

So Meng Huo asked He Qian to find and contact the forum administrator. As for the method she used, Meng Huo didn't mind at all. He drew the picture of Saber's appearance during work, and then gave it to Alice.

"Okay."

Alice is very satisfied with the quality of the picture: "This picture can be used as a cover."

She put the pictures away, and then asked Meng Huo, "The serialization of "fate/staynight" will start on March 12, is this time okay?"

Meng Huo nodded. He had several manuscripts in hand, so he felt no pressure at all.

"Is the editorial department at work?"

He asked, yesterday Sunday, today March 2. All other departments should have started work: "Let me accompany you to the editorial office of Weekly Boys."

Meng Huo followed Alice to the editorial office. He has not set foot in this place for a long time. The editorial office has undergone major changes.

The most intuitive expression is that the wall is covered with posters of "Detective Conan", and there are also a few posters of "Inuyasha" and "5 Centimeters Per Second".

"He, Teacher He Xi..."

The editors were working, but they were all surprised when they saw Meng Huo coming in, and they stood up one after another: "Mr. He Xi, why are you here!"

"Hurry up, Professor Yang, go pour some water!"

"Why should I go, Teacher He Xi. What is the theme of your new comic? The editor-in-chief is too stingy, and he hasn't told me yet!"

Except for a few editors who just met two days ago, the rest of the editors were extremely enthusiastic and full of expectations for the new comics.

"Cough, cough..."

But when Ye Xiong walked over coughing, the other editors immediately left.

"Okay, ignore them." Ye Xiong smiled at Meng Huo: "You should have something to do when you come here, let's go to the conference room to talk."

He took Meng Huo into the meeting room. Meng Huo did have something to say when he came here this time. He and Phoenix Company signed a contract for the open copyright of "Pokemon" comics.

"I know about this." Ye Xiong nodded: "I have notified other cartoonists, and there are several people in our department who are ready to participate. It seems that there are some teachers in the girls' cartoon department who want to draw."

The copyright of "Pokemon" is handed over to the entire Phoenix Company, whether it is a boy or girl manga department, it can be used. Boys tend to fight elves, and girls should be good at describing stories between humans and elves...

Meng Huo didn't just open up the copyright, he also handed over some settings, such as those about battles and badge collection, as well as those about elves' personalities and living habits.

He suggested that cartoonists' original comics should be released as short stories first, and the sales will not be bad depending on the effect of the animation broadcast. However, only comics that are satisfied with the readers can be published in a medium-length series.

"Don't worry, we won't waste your themes." Ye Xiong thought that Meng Huo was worried about the flood of "Pokemon" themes.

"I'm not worried about that." But Meng Huo shook his head and said, "I'll review it carefully, and if it doesn't pass, I won't let it pass..."

"You audit?"

Ye Xiong was surprised: "Why have I never heard of this?"

He only heard that "Pokemon" was open to copyright, but he had never heard that Meng Huo retained the right to review it. If Meng Huo still has the right to review, and he can let whoever draws what he wants, then it is not considered open copyright at all.

"Well, I want to review. The animation production department is already on the right track." Meng Huo hesitated for a moment: "Editor Ye, from now on, let me decide the content of "Weekly Boys"..."

"You inform the editors that in this week's "Weekly Shonen", all the manga serials ranked below the tenth place will be cut in half next week."

The quality improvement of "Weekly Boy" and "Weekly Girl" cannot be delayed. Xu Jing handed over the power to Meng Huo, and he was willing to be an executioner.

"you……"

Ye Xiong stood up, he thought Meng Huo was crazy, talking nonsense.

"Listen to him." But Alice, who was sitting on the side, said, "My father has already handed over the power of the company to Meng Huo."

Ye Xiong froze suddenly.

He looked down at Alice, Ye Xiong now knew the identity of this woman very well. Xu Jing's daughter, Alice will not lie.

"I'll call the chairman."

Ye Xiong felt that this matter was too exaggerated, so he questioned Xu Jing suspiciously, and the result he got was the same as what Alice said.

After hanging up the phone, Ye Xiong frowned tightly. Looking at Meng Huo, he recalled that when he saw Meng Huo for the first time, he was a boy in simple clothes.

Ye Xiong never thought that that boy would become his boss one day.

Surprised, regretted, complicated...

Ye Xiong's eyes changed several times, and finally became a kind of relief. He didn't understand why Xu Jing made this decision, but he believed in the old man.

Phoenix is ​​their home and their business. Xu Jing chose Meng Huo because he believed that he could lead Phoenix to a better direction.

"Okay." Ye Xiong nodded and said, "I will inform you, but Meng Huo, do you know the risk of doing so?"

"Weekly Youth" cut ten articles in half, how much impact would that have on cartoonists and some readers, Ye Xiong wanted Meng Huo to recognize this situation.

"I know." Meng Huo nodded: "Tomorrow night, I want to meet the company's cartoonists...all the cartoonists."

He's going to have a showdown with these cartoonists. (To be continued..)
