Chapter 268

Mantiantang, the name of the largest cartoon company in the Far East, is said to have been invested and established by several consortia. Now it basically monopolizes the cartoon and animation industry in the Far East.

In fact, this company can not be said to be very powerful. It is far less powerful than Zhongxia company, and its influence is limited to the extreme East. It can be said that it is just a regional overlord.

Meng Huo hated it because of its style, especially the way of using other cartoonists' works to develop the market.

The company's cartoonists are holding the banner of "original comics", but they have published series of best-selling comics that "learn from" the outside world. Zhongxia company and Phoenix company have suffered a lot.

Li Xin's the son of the detective, the grandson of the detective, Qin Ya's the new moon, the new moon, He Xi's the pirate king, and so on.

This model is quite shameless. Zhongxia has sued mantiantang twice, but without exception, they all lost.

"Different content, similar title - not plagiarism."

The court's ruling is that, in fact, the mangtiantang cartoon is full of scenes and plots from the outside world, and even the character setting is very similar. It's right to say that it's plagiarism, but it's hard to grasp the evidence.

The editors of mantiantang know how to handle the matter. They use the plagiarism of cartoonists for reference, and their business is limited to Jidong. If they want to sue it, they have to come to Jidong court. However, this is its territory. It is very troublesome to sue successfully.

Neither Zhongxia nor Phoenix company has much energy to suppress it. Even if the accusation is successful, it will be easy to replace one or two cartoons, which is totally irrelevant.

What's more, man Tiantang's hands and feet have not yet touched the mainland of China. There is a strong "I just want to be the leader of the region" style, which makes Zhongxia and Phoenix feel uncertain. Naturally, they put it aside.

Meng Huo didn't pay attention to it at first, but when he came to Jidong for a few days, he found that something was wrong.

Mantiantang is more than just a "reference". At the same time, it also manipulates the news and public opinion in the Far East. For a long time, it has been quietly spreading some negative news about Zhongxia and Fenghuang, which makes the reputation of the two companies in the Far East very poor.

Readers in the Far East are no longer as objective as Meng Huo was when he came here last year

Not to mention the distance, now, in Meng Huo's high-speed train to Tokyo, several young people have talked about the topic of comics.

"It's too much for Zhongxia bookstore to break out another scandal..."

"Don't mention it. Now Zhongxia Bookstore only sells a few comic magazines of them and Phoenix company, but refuses to let mantiantang in. It's said that the president of mantiantang visited the headquarters of Zhongxia company in person, and he can't even enter the door."

"I've heard about this. The two companies' business in the Far East has been bad, so they joined hands to crack down on mantiantang. Mantiantang is our local enterprise. We can't let it lose!"

"Yes, it's shameless. We have to support mantiantang!"

This is a talk among several young people, but the overall atmosphere in the Far East is very similar. Man Tian Tang plays the sympathy card of "local enterprise", and at the same time fabricates and uses various excuses to slander other companies, so as to completely occupy the Far East market.

In addition, mantiantang also has a lot of negative slanders on cartoonists outside. Meng Huo has been shot countless times. Many of his readers in the Far East are now biased.

Meng Huo was a little upset when he thought of this. When he first came here, he wanted to get together with some readers he had known before, but he found it hard to find anyone.

"Is it necessary..."

He sighed that Jidong now has a strong aversion to the outside comic enterprises and cartoonists. This is the result of the subtle influence of the media, but there is no evidence that it was done by man Tiantian. However, criminology has a very simple logical reasoning, through which many puzzles can be solved.

If a person commits a crime, who can get the greatest benefit is the most likely suspect.

Who is the biggest beneficiary of the vicious atmosphere in the Far East? Of course, man heaven is the double overlord of cartoon and animation in the Far East. If the comics from outside can't be spread, man Tiantang can enjoy the cake alone.

"I said... What are you sighing about?"

Also in the high-speed railway to Tokyo, Takashima Xiangzi sits opposite Meng Huo. She looks at Meng Huo angrily: "is it so hard for me to be around you?"

"Well... It's kind of..."

Meng Huo said with a smile that this girl is always angry, but she is similar to Shen Jie in four points: "in other words, I can't help you with the help of" as high as Genesis ". Why are you still pestering me?"

Yesterday, Ninghai's assistant helped him to inform the comic writer of Gunda genesis, but it's a pity that its animation copyright has long been bought by an animation company.The cartoonist also knows about the far east side. He sympathizes with the Takashima family, but the copyright has been bought and he can't get it back.

Meng Huo told Kaoshima Xiangzi the news. The girl was disappointed, but today when he was going to leave, Xiangzi was still entangled.

"I, how can I pester you..." Kaoshima Xiangzi blushed and said angrily, "I'm just going to visit my parents in Tokyo. Yes... I'm going to see them!"

"How can I remember you said a few days ago that you didn't want to disturb them in Tokyo..."

Meng Huo said feebly that they were all so hot, but he preferred Shen Jie.

"You remember wrong!" Takashima Xiangzi is a little difficult to step down. She suddenly gets up, pauses, and says, "I'll go to the toilet!"

She ran away, while Meng Huo continued to stare out of the window.

"Yinger Takashima..."

He recites the name of his father. In fact, he has an impression of this name. When he was traveling in Jidong, a middle-aged couple had played with him. They were comic lovers. If they were, they might set up their own animation company.

But there are too many similar names in the extreme East District. Meng Huo doesn't know whether it's that person or not, and even if it is, he has to consider whether he should help or not.

Once he does, he may have to stay in the Far East for a long time.

Meng Huo shook his head and did not think about it.

Soon, Kaoshima Xiangzi came back. This time she came back with a newspaper and her face turned red - but different from just now, it was completely angry red.

"You lied to me!"

She said aloud to Meng Huo.

Meng Huo laughed: "do you know?"

He read the newspaper and thought that his identity had been exposed. He was not undiscovered during the trip, but he had never been discovered so soon. Half a year has changed his appearance a lot. At the same time, the media has paid less attention to him.

"Yes, I know《 The animation copyright of Gundam's creation is not sold at all, is it

However, Kaoshima Xiangzi's next sentence stunned Meng Huo.

"What?"

She didn't find out his identity, but she meant that the animation copyright of Gundam's creation wasn't sold?

"Show me."

Meng Huo reached for the newspaper, looked at it, and saw such a headline in a humble place.

——"The real reason for Sakura's impending Bankruptcy -- He Xi's refusal."

He frowned slightly: "Sakura animation... Is this your father's company?"

"Yes, he likes cherry blossoms best. He takes time to travel every cherry blossom season."

Kaoshima Xiangzi's words make Meng Huo feel strange. Is Kaoshima Yinger really the reader he knows?

He continued to look, and the more he looked, the more frowned he was.

"You were talking about Cherry Blossom animation, right?"

At this time, just a few people who were not far away chatting about comics came over curiously: "Sakura animation is your father's company?"

They look at Kajima.

"Well..."

Xiangzi nodded, but the anger on her face didn't go away.

"What a pity, you read the report. It's all He Xi's fault. My mother used to be a fan of him. I would be very disappointed to know that he stopped the cartoonist from selling the animation copyright to Jidong!"

"That's right. Even if you don't help yourself, you have to go down the well and hit the stone..."

"Don't worry, sister. It's said that mantiantang will also make Gundam animation. They will definitely help your family out of trouble!"

These young people comforted Kaoshima Xiangzi, and Meng Huo also read the report.

The content of the whole news is very simple, that is to say, cherry blossom animation was cheated, and there is no way to help Phoenix company. As a result, the original author of Gundam did not agree. According to the "reliable" and "insiders", it turned out that He Xi, the proponent of Gundam, did not agree.

He Xi didn't agree with the production of Kodak animation by far east, so he used his position in Phoenix company to suppress the author of Kodak genesis, and made him refuse the request of Sakura animation.

Takashima Xiangzi should be angry about this. The newspaper said that the animation copyright of Gunda Genesis had not been sold. She believed it.

"Nonsense."

But after watching it, Meng Huo thought it was too fake.

"I said Xiangzi, what's the reason why He Xi refused?" "This has nothing to do with him. Don't believe the rumors in these newspapers," he told Takashima"There's a reason, of course - why feel guilty!"

Takashima didn't answer, but the young people around her said, "now who doesn't know that takada is the theme that our cartoonists in the Far East have come up with, that is, He Xi has stolen it."

"Ah?" Meng Huo was stunned: "how do you say that?"

The woman around the young man explained.

"It's said that GAODA's theme is something that some old cartoonists in the Far East area came up with. At that time, before the establishment of mantiantang, Phoenix company made a preemptive bet in advance."

"The original name of this theme was mobile warrior. Now there are several comic books about mobile warrior in mantiantang. Look at the name, mobile warrior is obviously more in line with the setting."

"I don't know how Gao Da's name came from. Mobile soldiers are easy to understand. There is no doubt that this is the work of our Jidong cartoonist. He Xi is afraid of being pursued by mantiantang. Of course, he won't agree to make this kind of animation in Jidong."

The woman's words ended, but for a moment, Meng Huo suspected that he was in the country that "made the universe.". He is a bit speechless, and this man heaven is too powerful. If the propaganda is done like this, no wonder he can occupy the market of Jidong.

"You don't seem to believe it? In fact, I didn't believe it at first... "

Seeing Meng Huo's disbelief on her face, the woman continued: "but you can go to see some interview programs of mantiantang. He Xi is too much."

"It's said that the theme of magic girl is also someone else's idea. You think, the two themes of magic girl and GAODA are hot topics, but why don't you draw them? He has never painted these two subjects because he doesn't know how to draw them. "

"Half a year ago, mantiantang was just established. I heard that mantiantang was going to investigate He Xi's responsibility, but he disappeared. You can't say too much... That's guilty conscience."

"That's a good point." Meng Huo nodded, and then asked, "but... Is this what man Tiantang said?"

The woman shook her head.

"Of course not. It was discovered by the media at the beginning, but man Tiantang was unwilling to tell the story. Finally, they admitted it when the media went to interview..."

Meng Huo frowned and asked, "does man Tiantang want to make Gao Da animation?"

"Yes, it's the animation of mobile soldier!" The woman said with a smile: "man Tiantang wants to rectify the name of this theme. Animation is much more powerful than comics. My parents can watch animation, but they never read comics."

"As long as mantiantang makes the animation of mobile soldier, the whole Chinese people will know that GAODA is a fake brand..."

“……”

Meng Huo was silent.

"Good." He suddenly clapped his hands, turned his head and looked at Kaoshima Xiangzi: "Xiangzi, you take me to see your father today!"

"Eh!"

Takashima's head was smoking.

"Is this... Is this... A little faster... is this..."
