"I Am a Hero" is a phenomenal and passionate anime for the whole of China.
It can almost be said to be a miracle in the history of world anime.
The annual playback volume, peripheral traffic and advertising fees make several domestic video websites very happy.
Anyone who is in the anime circle knows about "I Am a Hero". The ratings have always been above 9.3, and all the major message bars, forums and hot searches regard this anime as a masterpiece.
Xiao Lang Yiquan didn't believe that Lu Yuan could do anything to him. Moreover, Daben, one of the largest animation companies in Japan, would also protect this animation. With the protection of Daben Animation, after all, there is a large industrial chain behind this animation, which can generate very good economic benefits. Even if Lu Yuan has a great influence internationally, he is only in the piano and film circles. In the animation circle...
All right!
Xiaolang Yiquan felt that Lu Yuan's hands could not reach that far. At least for now, Lu Yuan was not that powerful.
In his opinion, there was no way these people in China would treat his "I Am a Hero" well. At most, they would warn his company and ask him to slightly change the name of his latest painting. The worst that could happen was that he would come forward and then symbolically apologize to everyone and say that he would change it immediately.
After all, it's just a name, what does it matter?
This name is just a joke at best. Does anyone care?
There are many people in China who are very interested in their Japanese culture, and they are vying to join the Japanese empire all day long. Even at the last moment, these people will naturally stand up and speak for them.
Anyway…
After answering the call from Lu Yuan, Xiaolang Yiquan was very calm.
He took a sip of tea, then slowly looked at the bustling streets of Tokyo, Japan, with an invincible smile on his face.
Then he slowly opened the tool and began to draw the next plot with the help of his assistant...
When it was three o'clock in the morning, Xiaolang Yiquan stretched himself and looked at the time.
Then I stood up and prepared to go to bed and lie down for a while...
Just at this moment, his phone rang.
When he received the call, he was stunned.
He then gave some instructions to his assistant, put on a coat and left the studio.
…
Tianxin Game.
Ma Huaming was awakened from his sleep by a phone call.
When he heard a mysterious voice on the phone telling him to stop the development of "I Am a Hero" as soon as possible, Ma Huaming's pupils shrank.
Ma Huaming bought the game "I am a Hero" from R at a high price at the beginning of this year. He planned to develop it into an online game that would be popular among young people throughout China. After all, "I am a Hero" is so popular that if it is casually adapted, it will definitely have a large audience. Although it may not reach the level of "World of Warcraft", at least it is certain to make some money!
Then, when everything was ready, Ma Huaming was suddenly told that the game had to be stopped, otherwise not only would he lose all his money, but it would also have a certain impact on the entire company...
What does this mean?
"Brother Yu, is the information over there accurate?"
"Well, I Am a Hero caused a big mess..."
"Because of the name?"
"yes."
"Normally this is a small matter, we can just ask them to correct the name..."
"This time is different. This time, we might be banned by the whole of China..."
"Ah? Why is this happening? Brother Yu, can you explain it in detail?"
"I can't reveal important things. Anyway, the leader received a report from someone, and the young man might have been a little emotional... Then the leader held a meeting with everyone overnight and made this decision. When I learned about this notice, I called you immediately to remind you."
"What! What young man is so capable? He reported it directly to the senior leader. Isn't it that here we report things step by step?"
"What if that person is Lu Yuan?"
"What! Lu Yuan!"
"By the way, my boss asked me to give you a little reminder..."
"Remind you of what?"
"Don't violate some principled issues. The dignity of the country cannot be violated, history cannot be forgotten, and..."
"what else?"
“Don’t keep targeting a few exceptional young people. Those few young people will not become an obstacle to you.”
“…”
When Ma Huaming heard this, his eyes widened instantly.
If Lu Yuan’s words before might not be that important, but after the birth of “Destiny”…
Is there any need to say who these extremely outstanding young people are?
Ma Huaming took a deep breath.
At this moment, he realized what kind of status Lu Yuan held in the eyes of the relevant departments.
It is equivalent to that Lu Yuan has a golden medal of immunity from death at this moment!
…
Four o'clock in the morning.
Sodu video animation website.
An emergency meeting was suddenly called. During the meeting, CEO Jiang Jingcong looked at all the department heads who were dozing off.
He announced very seriously that from now on the anime "I am a Hero" will be completely removed from the shelves, and at the same time, all comics related to "I am a Hero" and various cooperative advertising channels will be cut off one by one, including some videos of anchors explaining the anime and hot search words will also be banned one by one. In addition, several anime related to Daben Animation Company will also enter the re-examination process and can only be released after confirmation.
After hearing the news, all the confused responsible persons were suddenly awakened.
This was undoubtedly a bombshell news that surprised everyone.
They were stunned.
Previously, because of Lu Yuan’s Weibo post, there was indeed a huge uproar on the entire Internet, and there were even countless boycott comments, but no one took it seriously. They just thought that as long as they apologized and then smoothed things over, everything would be solved.
However, no one expected that this time it would be so serious.
It was already six o'clock in the morning when Jiang Jingcong finished the meeting.
He looked at the rising sun in the distance and closed his eyes silently.
Lu Yuan...
All right.
I still have to remind the people below that other artists’ messy videos, scandals and black materials can be spread randomly, but about Lu Yuan...
Still need to treat it with caution!
…
In China, all major video websites held an emergency meeting overnight. After the emergency meeting, everyone announced on Weibo that they would remove a series of animations such as "I Am a Hero" and their popularity from now on, and severely condemned the behavior of making fun of history. They said that animations have no nationality, but cartoonists and comic fans are divided by nationality.
In addition to these, major media outlets in China also received notifications and suppressed news about a series of reports such as "I Am a Hero", and also issued a series of condemnation statements.
R book.
"Impossible! How is it possible? How could China make so many moves overnight? This must be fake news!"
"Teacher Xiaolang, do you think this is fake? This is a joint complaint and warning notice...sent from China."
"What? They really dare. Don't they know our anime..."
"Teacher Xiaolang, I heard that Lu Yuan called you last night?"
"Yes, but how is it possible in such a short time..."
“…”
When the sun rose again at dawn, what the entire Omoto Animation Company felt was not hope, but an indescribable despair.
One piece of news about the cooperation with China reached Inoue's ears, and warnings and boycott statements also swept the entire Omoto Animation Company. Inoue even found that overnight, all the animations of his company were removed from the shelves in China.
Only then did he realize the seriousness of the matter, and he also knew that the relevant Chinese authorities attached great importance to this so-called trivial matter of name...
There is a huge market in China, and this market brings them billions of profits every year.
If the animation produced by their company is banned in China, it would be like cutting off a very powerful arm.
That……
Inoue couldn't imagine it.
When Xiaolang Yiquan heard the news, he was completely in disbelief because he felt that it was really an exaggeration.
After all, it's just a name, what can it represent?
It can only be regarded as a joke at best.
Is it necessary to ban his anime "I Am a Hero"? Is it necessary to even put all the anime of Omoto Animation Company under review?
China is making such a big move, this...
Isn't this like using an anti-aircraft gun to kill a mosquito?
etc!
However, he remembered Lu Yuan's call. When he thought about something deeper, he stood there in a daze as if he had been struck by lightning.
Lu Yuan!
he……
Xiaolang Yiquan's pupils shrank!
The whole person sat down on the ground.
He understood.
I really understand.
On the Chinese side, the person standing behind Lu Yuan was actually...
"Teacher Xiaolang, please apologize. Send an apology message immediately and change your name back..."
"good!"
“…”
After Xiaolang Yiquan realized the seriousness of the matter, he immediately posted an apology statement on the social software, and explained his mistakes very sincerely. He confirmed that he would make corrections in the future, and specifically mentioned Lu Yuan's name, while expressing his apologies.
but……
Not long after he issued his apology, China responded quickly.
"I'm sorry... This is not just my problem. Most of the time, I'm a very generous person, but in this case, I don't accept an apology. As someone said before, animation does have no borders, just like music. However, we humans have borders and history. We love peace, we are humble, and we are friendly to everyone, but that doesn't mean we are easy-going people who can cheat at will, it doesn't mean we will forget history, it doesn't mean our past history can be used by you to make fun of, and you can make so-called jokes at will. So, Mr. Xiaolang Yiquan, I don't accept your apology! This matter is not over!"
“…”
When Lu Yuan responded to this Weibo post...
Xiaolang Yiquan knew that there was really no way around this matter.
