Chapter 166: Misfortune and Fortune
In the afternoon, He Chen received a call and frowned.
Then, he gave up the idea of staying at home, greeted Zhou Zhe, took his younger brother, and rushed to Suhang overnight.
At noon the next day, He Chen saw Tian Shi and her companions who were lowering their heads and laughing at He Chen.
"The destruction of public property is suspected of arson. I could have been detained for a few days, but I thought that I had a good attitude of repentance, did not cause accidents, and had no malicious intentions, and you could leave."
The policeman is very good and he followed the procedures with Zhou Zhe.
He Chen had a gloomy face and stared at Tian Shi and others. Several girls were frightened by He Chen, who was several years younger than them, and they were silent.
"Young people, think twice before doing things, don't be too impulsive. There is already a crowd of people there, and yesterday happened to you host an animation exhibition. If a fire broke out, the consequences would be unimaginable. Remember, if there is another time, it would be impossible to be that simple." The police elder brother warned.
He Chen said: "Did you hear it?"
Tian Shi and others nodded like a chicken pecking at the rice.
The policeman looked at He Chen and smiled kindly: "You are the porter teacher, right?"
"...Don't call me teacher." The policeman saw that he was more than ten years older than He Chen. Moreover, He Chen's student and assistant made a mistake. He came to catch people. He was called a teacher here, which sounded awkward.
"Haha, my son likes your comics very much. I will read them when I'm fine. It's very interesting. Can you sign my son?" The policeman took out a copy of "Doraemon" from the drawer.
"no problem."
He Chen can meet fans everywhere he goes, so he happily agreed. He took the comic and it was the first volume of "Doraemon". It seems that he has read it many times. A name is written on the title page.
"Is this your son's name?"
"Um!"
So He Chen wrote under his name "Wish children xxx to be happy forever. Porter."
After the procedures were completed, He Chen led Tian Shi and others to leave the police station while the police elder brother was warmly saying goodbye. He Chen and Zhou Zhe had not eaten yet, so they found a small restaurant nearby to have dinner.
"Teacher, don't worry about us. The lunch box in the police station is pretty good. We are very full. You can eat it yourself... Uh!" Tian Shi felt that he had said the wrong thing again. He hurriedly lowered his head.
He Chen looked so distressed and wondered: "You all honestly explain to me what kind of animation festival to participate in so that you can squat in the bureau?"
Tian Shi smiled awkwardly, and then explained to his companions like He Chen: "Yesterday..."
To sum up, Tian Shi and others were angry at Chang'e's actions yesterday and burned books to show their ambitions. However, there were too many people responding, and all the messy things were still burning together, almost causing a fire. Fortunately, there was West Lake next to it, with sufficient water sources, which did not cause a major disaster.
But as the main culprits, they were arrested by the police station.
“…It’s that.”
When they finished speaking, the food had already come up. Seeing the delicious food, my stomach seemed to be hungry again. Several people started eating very naturally.
Seeing He Chen's face cold, his companion poked Tian Shi. Tian Shi quietly put down his chopsticks and swallowed the vegetables in his mouth hard. Several people winked at each other. Finally, Tian Shi said to He Chen with a tough look: "Teacher, I'm sorry! You are the only one we can ask for help in this matter. If we tell our parents that we entered the police station, we may never let us draw comics again."
After saying that, Tian Shi stretched out his hand, pinched his thumb and little finger together and gestured to He Chen: "You have a lot of things, and you will definitely not take this insignificant little thing to heart! Regarding the fine, you can just deduct it from our salary. Even if you deduct ten times the amount, we are willing to do so!"
"Ten times? The fine for one person is 500, and ten times is only 5,000. I will give you a monthly salary of more than 10,000. Of course, you won't feel sorry for you. Otherwise, you will be fine if you work for me for ten years in vain."
Tian Shi and others immediately pleaded with bitter faces and begged He Chen.
"Teacher, you are not so cruel, are you?"
"Those who cosplay the characters in your book are your fans, and we are also here to stand out for you!"
"The contract for selling oneself is illegal!"
"Now you know it's illegal?" He Chen sneered, and several people lowered their heads and looked like a good baby. He Chen continued, "The money will not be detained, but punishment will inevitably be done. Don't participate in this Chinese Animation Festival."
"What!"
"How can you do this!"
"We have prepared the fan book of "Dragon Ball" and "Mobile Suit Gundam" for a long time, but we are just waiting to share with readers at this largest anime ceremony in China!"
When he heard this, He Chen's attitude was even more firm. He had just been serialized not long ago, how could he let them ruin two classics?
"If you can't participate in the Chinese Animation Festival, what's the point of life?"
Several soft girls immediately burst into strong resistance, which attracted everyone's attention in the restaurant and fell on He Chen.
He Chen, who has long been used to the strong winds and waves, remained calm: "You have not only prepared things for Chang'e Animation Festival, but also for the Huaxia Animation Festival? It seems that it is really idle to let you draw "Conan" on weekdays. But now, there seems to be no new works that can make you draw. So, "Conan" becomes a daily double update? Speed up the speed and exercise your ability to sketch, and you can't be lazy even if you have your own "love-stage".
The girls were immediately mourning.
"Teacher, you are abusing the labor!"
"A black-hearted capitalist! Exploiting our blood and flesh!"
"I don't want it! This is dictatorship, this is power! We want human rights, we want democracy, and we want freedom!"
"Whether you do it or not, but I personally like obedient assistants..."
He Chen said leisurely, and Zhou Zhe smiled and shook his head.
The girls lowered their heads and thought about it. They seemed to think it would be more cost-effective for them to continue to be his assistant with He Chen, so they changed their subjects immediately.
"Teacher, you are the beacon of hope, and have pointed us in the direction of progress."
"Who in the world, besides parents, can anyone care more about us than the teachers who came to Suzhou and Hangzhou from Yanjing overnight?"
They did not stay in Suzhou and Hangzhou for a long time, and returned to Yanjing the next day.
However, the storm has not ended yet, and the first one to be affected is their authors.
Due to the bad influence of the book burning incident and the invigoration of some people, the traffic of Renxin and Aiman's website suddenly dropped sharply under the moon, and the subscriptions of his authors' works fell sharply.
Subsequently, due to the decline in grades, lower income, and the notoriousness of the website, eunuchs appeared in a large number of works and authors changed jobs.
Although these are middle- and low-level authors signed by book, the ones that really bring them profits are the large number of middle-level authors. Because most of the top authors use money to attract popularity.
The authors who leaked were quickly forced to digest the author Shengshi and Tianyu, which were eager to have creative authors, and companies that followed Tianman, which were digested immediately.
Under the moon, Renxin and Aiman can be said to have been shaking overnight. Many small companies that have just improved a little and were tempted by them to participate in the Chang'e Animation Festival directly drew a line with them, criticized Chang'e Animation Festival and regretted participating; some even directly declared bankruptcy - the authors have run away and their names are stinking. It is better to change their vests while they have not lost too much.
"This must be Tianman's conspiracy!"
Hao Ren was so depressed that he wanted to vomit blood. He never thought about why he just expelled those cos and why did this turn into the final situation?
Especially after learning that the main culprit of burning books was He Chen's assistant and student Tian Shi, he believed it even more deeply.
"It must be that Tianman hated us for refusing to join his anime festival. After seeing us better than him, he was jealous of us! Then he deliberately sent someone to create chaos and smear our reputation!"
Bai Yukuan also had a gloomy face and gritted her teeth and said.
Qi Xiu said silently. Although she felt that Hao Ren and Bai Yukuan's guess had some truth, she always felt that it seemed that they were really trying to die this time. If they had not driven away at the beginning, would something happen later?
"...The mall is like a battlefield. Don't worry about whether Tianman is despicable or not, the winner will be the one who stays in the end. He Chen has too many fans, and any explanation we will be immediately overwhelmed by the trolls. Now no one believes our explanation. How to overcome this difficulty in front of us is what we need to consider." Qi Xiu said calmly.
"Those authors who change their minds are all trivial matters. We still have contracts from the top female masters in our hands. As long as they are there, they can recover even if they are ups and downs for a while. The most important thing now is how to reverse our image in the hearts of readers." Hao Ren said.
"There are too many naval troops in Tianman. The more we defend, the more we are, the trap they are. Anyway, there will be no greater impact on our current popularity. It is better to block our official Weibo and website comment section for a while so that they can't spit out. After a while, we will change our faces." Bai Yukuan analyzed.
This move is already a kind of escape. No matter how reluctant they are, they can only admit defeat. After all, they have to fight against Tianman from the front, and there may be a fight before the accident. Now, they can't even move Tianman's leg hair even if they tie a piece.
"Hmph! Isn't Tianman's Huaxia Animation Festival going to start soon? He messed with us, and we'll mess with him too! Hire a large number of people, our employees, all cosplaying the characters in our works, use his animation festival to promote our works, and disgust and slander Tianman. I want to see what the yellow-haired boy should do!" Hao Ren snorted coldly.
Bai Yukuan nodded and said, "Good idea. If they drive them away, the reason for attacking us will immediately become a joke; if they don't drive us away, we can do more." (To be continued...)
ps: Come to observe a moment of silence for the disbandment of the Jeepli production department.
The end of an era.
Who can carry the banner of the new era?
