Big Manga

April 21, Saturday

On the day of the premiere of "5 Centimeters per Second", fans who had been looking forward to it for many years flocked to the theaters, crowding theaters in major cities.

"No tickets? I'm your platinum member, why don't I have no tickets?" A young man in Tokyo called out to the cinema ticket seller, "I promised my girlfriend that I will get today's tickets. Haven't you always reserved tickets for platinum members?" Why? Why is it gone today? Then what’s the use of this card!?”

As he spoke, he slapped the membership card in his hand on the table in front of the conductor.

"I'm sorry, guest, we reserved tickets for platinum members in advance, but those tickets have already been taken away by other platinum members." The conductor smiled, looked at the membership card, and said, "You are late, today's There are no tickets for the two performances of "5 Centimeters Per Second", if you want to watch it, you can book it tomorrow."

"The day lily will be cold tomorrow!" Before the young man could answer, another person stood up behind him and said angrily, "Don't you have two screening halls here? The other one is also used to show "5 Centimeters Per Second" Ah, "Thirty-six Strategies for Love" is not read at all!"

"That's right, that's right!"

Others nodded one after another.

"Hey, what are you talking about! We are not human!"

As soon as they said this, the other part of the people who were waiting for the movie to be released seemed very unhappy. These people were all fans of "Thirty-Six Strategies for Love". Unhappy, even buying a ticket was blocked by people and difficult to buy. Hearing their words at this time, it will be even more angry.

"If you like to watch animation, you can watch it at home. Why do you come to the cinema and bother us?" A man spat. Said: "I really don't know how such naive things will appear in the theater!"

As soon as he said this, the whole theater was in riots.

"Childish?", "Brother, isn't your action a bit impolite?", "I didn't expect someone to dare to say that "5 Centimeters Per Second" is childish, uncle, please apologize!"

Some fans surrounded him, and the man's face turned pale.

"What are you doing?" The fans around him quickly gathered together: "What do you want to do?"

"Make him apologize!" fans said.

But the movie fans did not give in at all: "Obviously you were the first to say that "Thirty-Six Strategies of Love" is not good,

Why should we apologize? "

The atmosphere in the theater began to become dignified, and this scene. It also appeared in other theaters. On the day of the premiere of "Five Centimeters Per Second", "Thirty-six Strategies for Love" was also broadcast simultaneously in many theaters. There was some friction between the audience of the two, and Phoenix had predicted this matter before the premiere.

"Is it all right?" On Manga Island, Alice asked Meng Huo about this incident: "Will there be violence?"

"Probably not." Meng Huo was spinning a pen in his hand. Said: "The theater will help prevent the violence from happening. They are the ones who are unlucky when the accident occurs. Besides, this is also a matter of their schedule arrangement. They will not implicate us in any way."

He wasn't worried about this matter, instead he looked at a place full of people on the street outside the window, and said, "As long as there is no accident here, it will be fine."

A new movie theater has opened in Manga Island, and the owner of the theater is the same as when Phoenix Company first came to Manga Island, it is Universal Cinema. One year after they voluntarily gave up Manga Island, they finally chose to come back...but it was different from the original arrogance. This time the attitude was obviously a lot more humble.

The owner of the theater has changed. The former owner of the theater has been fired by Universal Cinemas. Now he is a manga fan.

And other things have changed. A year ago, the Phoenix Company didn't have many things in their hands, but now the streets of Manga Island basically belong to them. The commercial value of this area is rising extremely, and the lease contract of the theater is also in their hands. If Phoenix doesn't want Universal to be here, they can always sweep it out.

Of course Meng Huo would not do this, Zhongxia Company's actions reminded him. He better not erect too many enemies. The return of Universal Cinemas this time is also to show that he will not offend people, and "5 Centimeters Per Second" is released at the same time as the other three popular movies. Meng Huo didn't go into any inside information, and it was for this reason.

He is leaving a retreat for himself. If the actions of Zhongxia Company really pose a huge threat to Phoenix Company, then he can also rely on similar means to turn defeat into victory... But Meng Huo does not hope that there will be such a day. If Phoenix Company wants to To learn Zhongxia's model, that is to injure the enemy one thousand and self-injure five hundred.

Zhongxia can rely on external resources because its own resources are not enough. Let's take the voice actors as an example. Zhongxia's own voice actors are not well-known, so it is a good thing to introduce stars... If Phoenix Company does this, then the voice actor firm will be hit the hardest.

"……so troublesome……"

Thinking of Zhongxia, Meng Huo was a little annoyed. Although he was not afraid, Dong Ding was indeed a troublesome opponent.

He decided not to think about it, "5 Centimeters Per Second" was about to be released, and he had to go to the premiere of Manga Island. "Let's go, Alice." After stopping his pen, Meng Huo signed the document on the table, handed it to the secretary, and took Alice to the elevator.

The film's premiere ceremony was held in Ninghai and Suhua. The official premiere ceremony was held in Ninghai, including Qin Ya and other members of the animation department. On the Manga Island side, there was an undisclosed small-scale ceremony, mainly because Universal Cinema invited Meng Huo to participate.

Meng Huo thought that he wanted to watch a movie anyway, and the ceremony was very simple, that is, to go to the movie and say a few words after watching it. It was so simple that he had no reason to refuse.

Comic Island, there are still a few minutes before the premiere of "5 Centimeters Per Second". The audience checks in one after another, but the hall is still very lively, most of them are audiences waiting for the second and third scenes - this theater and Theaters in other regions are different. It has replaced all the movies today and tomorrow with "5 Centimeters Per Second", which is the most frequently played theater.

So many fans from University City and Suhua City gathered in the hall. These fans filled up every possible seat, and there were even many small groups sitting on the ground playing cards and waiting. Of course, apart from fans, there are also a lot of reporters. There are also photographers from Suhua TV station who are holding up their cameras to shoot.

"We are now at the Universal Cinema in Manga Island, and we can see that it has been crowded with fans of "5 Centimeters Per Second". It is said that this phenomenon does not only happen in Manga Island, and many other theaters are also overcrowded. " The fans of "5 Centimeters Per Second" are mainly young people, so let's interview a few fans now..."

A beautiful female reporter was talking to the camera, and many people were watching her take out the microphone to interview in front of the TV. She first interviewed a female college student: "Why did you watch "5 Centimeters Per Second"?"

"Of course it's because it's so good!" The female college student was not afraid of strangers at all, and said excitedly: "When I was in high school, I stayed up late reading comics with my sisters in the dormitory. This comic is so good. I heard Phoenix Company last year. When it was announced that the movie "5 Centimeters Per Second" was going to be made, I was so excited that I cried!"

"And none of my sisters have bought movie tickets yet, haha... I'm lucky, Xiaoxuan, Meiling... Have you seen it? I'm attending the premiere on Manga Island, don't envy me!"

She held the movie ticket and waved to the camera repeatedly. The audience in front of the TV were all surprised that the female reporter had such a good eye for selecting candidates, and even picked such a cheerful girl, and the second fan she picked was also very talkative.

"You ask me what I am most looking forward to seeing in the "5 Centimeters Per Second" movie?" This is a young man wearing glasses. He pushed his glasses and said, "Of course it is the picture, I think 80% Fans of all the movies come here for the pictures of "5 Centimeters Per Second", right?"

"Of course there is also music. Teacher He Xi's music is also very good. It would be great if I could hear his piano... Oh, fuck me..." The man was halfway through speaking, and suddenly burst into a foul language. The person in front of the TV Didn't understand what happened when. Suddenly, I heard a burst of exclamation from the TV.

"Ah—Teacher He Xi!", "Damn it, why is Teacher He Xi here!", "Photographer, camera, camera!"

The TV camera suddenly rotated. As soon as the picture faded, the audience saw a few people walking in from outside the theater. The fans ran over excitedly, but under the protection of the security guards, they couldn't get close to the past, but the camera captured the appearance of these people very well. Filmed in.

Walking in the front center is a blonde woman. She is tall and tall, standing out from the crowd. Very eye-catching. However, half a step behind her, the figure of a young boy is also very outstanding, no worse than the woman in front.

"Teacher He Xi!"

"Shouldn't Mr. He Xi go to Ninghai to attend the premiere? Why did he appear on Manga Island!"

In front of the TV, some viewers exclaimed, there was no news of the premiere from Manga Island, everyone thought that He Xi would attend the premiere in Ninghai, who would have thought that he was still in Manga Island. Now, many editor-in-chiefs of newspapers and directors of TV stations couldn't help but beat their chests when they saw this scene.

"I was fooled! In vain I sent the best photographer to Ninghai, why not there, what is there to see in that premiere?"

"I also want my subordinates to take more shots of He Xi, make a picture album and sell it so that I can exchange for a car... Now there is no hope, completely hopeless."

"Suhua TV station really stepped on shit luck. The opportunity for Mr. He Xi to appear in front of the camera is too rare. It is only once or twice a year. Every time it can be sold as big news... What's more, I just experienced it a while ago. That thing, oh, fuck it, I can't believe that someone would be so low-key!"

The media lamented the loss of an opportunity with anger and resentment. He Xi is the most low-key public figure they have ever seen. He has countless auras, looks good, and has all the temperament that an idol should have, but he is low-key. , It is difficult to find him out.

In recent years, more and more journalists want to find news about He Xi, and many even follow him secretly. However, He Xi's life schedule is too regular. He gets up and goes to work in Manga Island, and he is almost always in the company's internal activities.

Now most of the reporters in the news world no longer do unnecessary things. They secretly nicknamed He Xi "Mr. Wood", which means that his life is as standard and impeccable as wood.

"But he's smart, isn't he?"

Of course, there are also many people who secretly praised He Xi's intelligence. Any celebrity with similar influence as him, or a public figure whose popularity is less than half of his, will always have countless troubles after being targeted by reporters, such as gossip, slander Events are everywhere.

Only He Xi, although there have been some negative reports, they are all about his career, and the negative news about him is almost negligible. He is the cleanest and most transparent male idol recognized by the Chinese news circle. Many female reporters regard him as a male god and are unwilling to write negative reports about him.

Just like now, in the live broadcast of Suhua TV, although Meng Huo just waved his hand, greeted the fans with a smile, and walked into the screening room without accepting any interviews. But the hostess who was broadcasting live was still very excited, and said with a flushed face:

"Did you see it? It's unbelievable that Teacher He Xi will be here to participate in the premiere! God, he is as handsome as the rumors say. This is the first time I saw Teacher He Xi. It's hard to imagine that he is so handsome." You are already a major shareholder of Phoenix Company when you are young!"

In the screening room, there was an uproar when Meng Huo first walked in, but there were staff immediately to appease the fans. When the movie was about to start, these fans had no choice but to hold back their excitement and looked at Meng Huo and Ai Li with hot eyes. Ruth sat down in front.

"Why was there a live camera just now?" Meng Huo asked in a low voice after sitting down.

"There will always be accidents. We have arrived at the latest at the beginning of the show to minimize accidents." Alice smiled, then turned her head to look forward, and said, "Okay, the movie is about to start, I haven't After seeing this movie, you let me enjoy it."

Meng Huo immediately took back the words and looked intently at the big screen. The lights in the screening hall were completely dimmed, and other fans put away their curiosity and waited for the movie to air.

On the big screen, there was darkness, and the title of "5 Centimeters Per Second" changed from light to thick, appearing in the center of the screen. This is a pink title. After a short stay, the title shattered and shattered into countless cherry blossoms. The cherry blossoms seemed to be blown by a breeze and flew around.

"Hey... I heard it's five centimeters per second..."

A girl's voice suddenly sounded.

"Oh, what?"

Then came the boy's voice, and the dark background gradually brightened with the boy's voice, and a street with fluttering cherry blossoms appeared.

"My goodness……"

"This is even more beautiful than I thought..."

Everyone was stunned. (to be continued)
