Big Manga

The two female assistants in Tokyo immediately informed Meng Huo of their choice. They chose to debut as a group of cartoonists. Meng Huo was surprised by this choice but also happy. He even couldn't help reminding Qin Ya: "You want to If you don’t seriously prepare the new manga, you might be chased by them.”

Of course Qin Ya didn't take his words seriously, but Meng Huo wasn't joking. Besides Qin Ya, his favorite female assistant was Bai Han. Hua Meng is getting older, and her thinking is not so flexible. Even if she returns to being a cartoonist, her long-term potential is not as good as Bai Han's.

However, although he is optimistic about Bai Han, he feels that the combination of the two female assistants in Tokyo will be even more terrifying. Their strength alone is not as good as Bai Han's, but together they are far superior to her, and may even pose a threat to Qin Ya.

The work attitude of these two female assistants is impressive, and their strength should not be underestimated. Meng Huo has many assistants, but these two female assistants have worked on the most comics for him. Most of the other assistants draw one comic, but they have changed many comics in the past few years.

After experiencing many works, comics with different styles and plots, these two female assistants can be said to be the ones who have gained the most experience and technical inheritance from Meng Huo.

But the most frightening thing about them is the perfect tacit understanding of painting formed by their long-term cooperation-these two cartoonists are like one person when they cooperate. If they debut in the form of a combination, it will definitely be a terrible combination.

Seeing that Qin Ya didn't take her reminder seriously, Meng Huo didn't intend to remind her again. Qin Ya thought that she would have no enemies in the girl comics world, and this kind of thinking would definitely make her suffer—just the size of the disadvantages was different. .

Immediately after the two female assistants in Tokyo, Ning Hai's assistants also sent replies one after another—Tomato chose to leave now, and Wang Yanmeng will wait for a while, and Hua Meng will continue to serve as his assistant.

The answers from these assistants did not surprise Meng Huo. The result was not much different from his guess. He knew from the beginning that Tomato and He would definitely be willing to leave. Down.

The reason why he is still unwilling to let go is the animation of "One Piece", and Meng Huo understands his expectation. He also assured that the animation of "One Piece" will be produced soon.

Less than two hours after Meng got the assistants' reply, Ye Xiong, who got the news, called him to ask how to solve the vacant positions of the four assistants.

"I'll leave it to you to negotiate with the female editorial department." Meng Huo said, "You guys know better than I do what kind of person is suitable to be my assistant."

He has no intention of interfering with the selection of new assistants. The number of cartoonists in the Phoenix Company is already very large, so many that Meng Huo didn't remember their names at all.

It is even more impossible to know the situation of every cartoonist-these editors know better than him.

Ye Xiong was a little worried: "But Teacher He Xi, the editorial department can't say 100% that it can find a suitable replacement assistant for you."

"It's okay, if it doesn't work, just change it." Meng Huo replied: "You don't have to think too much. I will sing the black face. There is a transition period for changing assistants. I will evaluate the new assistants you send, and if you are not satisfied, I will fire them. You just choose me again."

This reassured Ye Xiong.

"I know what to do. I will contact the female editorial department and give you the list of new assistants as soon as possible." After Ye Xiong and Meng Huo finished speaking, the two discussed some details, and the matter of changing assistants was settled in this way.

The selection of new assistants takes time, and in the meantime. Meng Huo put his mind on other work.

The animation problem bears the brunt, because the time away is too long, the finale of the semi-annual "Sa Special Yousheng" in charge of Bai Yan has been delayed for several weeks, and it will end soon-plus Huiyue Studio and Dao Studio, Meng Huo had to prepare three animations.

Huiyue Studio is the studio that Meng Huo acquired before leaving. After the acquisition, Meng Huo has not given them new animations. And Huiyue Studio is producing two animations that signed the contract before the acquisition, but these two animations were completed before November, and now the studio is empty and has no work.

Not to mention the island studio, Qin Ya led the painters to do doodles in the studio every day. They are also waiting for Meng Huo to hand over the plan for the new animation.

Because he had to prepare three animations at once, Meng Huo hardly slept for a few days after he came back.

He has prepared two funny animations, namely "Idiot Test Summoned Beast" and "Daily Life of High School Boys", and a girl comic "Genius Mahjong Girl" for Bai Yan.

"Stupid Quiz Summoned Beast" has higher requirements on picture quality. Meng Huo intends to leave it to Dao Studio, and "Daily Life of High School Boys" is less difficult to produce, so he plans to give it to Huiyue Studio.

However, this distribution method was immediately rejected by Qin Ming of Huiyue Studio after Meng Huo sent the information.

"You don't like this animation?" Meng Huo asked Qin Ming in the subsequent video discussion meeting of the three animation studios.

"The content of the animation itself is fine, but the production difficulty is too low." Qin Ming shook his head. Said: "My illustrators are already very good, and they have been trained in other animation departments in the past six months. They hope to make a more challenging animation."

Meng Huo didn't know that, in fact, the artists of Huiyue Studio had been under pressure from other animation departments in the past six months. They had never produced animations for Phoenix Company, so many artists of Phoenix Company looked down upon them. Yue's painters are now holding their breath and trying to prove themselves.

"Daily Life of High School Boys" is a very simple animation. Each episode is composed of several funny clips, and each clip takes place in a place that is commonplace—for example, in a room, in a classroom, by a river. Wait on the grass hill...

This animation mainly relies on the dialogue of the characters to show off their jokes, so the voice actor is more important than the picture, which will naturally dissatisfy the artists of Huiyue Studio. What they want is not such a simple animation. What I want is an animation that can show their drawing skills, such as "Idiot Quiz Summoned Beast".

Qin Ming proposed "Idiot Test Summoned Beast", but Meng Huo rejected it immediately.

"No, it's too early!" The "Idiot Test Summoned Beast" in his memory is famous for its style of painting, but not only the style of painting, but also many of the expressive techniques of this animation are very advanced. Meng Huo didn't think Huiyue at all Suitable to take over.

"How about handing "Genius Mahjong Girl" to Hui Yue?" At this moment, Bai Yan suddenly spoke, which surprised both Meng Huo and Qin Ming.

""Genius Mahjong Girl" does not have low requirements on the screen. It also needs some animation skills." Bai Yan continued: "Huiyue wants to prove her strength as soon as possible, this animation is perfect."

She is very optimistic about Huiyue Studio. This studio is just right to produce "Genius Mahjong Girl", no matter what. Before the acquisition, Huiyue Studio had a group of painters second only to Phoenix Company and Angel Studio. Now, after half a year of running-in, it is even more impossible for "Genius Mahjong Girl" to fail.

"Director Bai, are you willing to trade with us?"

Qin Ming was a little surprised. He has read the scripts and character designs of the three animations. Although "Idiot Test Summoned Beast" does not have such high requirements, if "Genius Mahjong Girl" is done well, it will not lose to the former in terms of popularity. !

And Meng Huo frowned. Bai Yan's animation department has been making animations for girls, so he prepared "Genius Mahjong Girl" for her, but now why did she suddenly say that she was going to give up?

She is going to make "Daily Life of High School Boys"? It's impossible to change the style so much!

Meng Huo guessed right, just when his doubts flashed, Bai Yan looked at him and said, "Mr. He Xi. I want to make the next season of "Shakugan no Shana" for this animation."

"Shakugan no Shana" - Meng Huo was surprised. Didn't Bai Yan say that he didn't want to make the next season of this animation? Why did you change your mind now?

"Why?" he asked.

"Compared to "Genius Mahjong Girl" and "Daily Life of High School Boys", I like "Shakugan the Shana" more." Bai Yan replied simply and clearly, but in fact, apart from this reason, she also had another idea to take advantage of the opportunity. The two female assistants stayed behind.

They helped produce the last season of "Shakugan no Shana", and Bai Yan had already convinced the two girls that they would stay in Tokyo to draw manga and help her produce this season's animation.

Of course, Meng Huo didn't know the reason, and when he heard Bai Yan say a reason, he didn't go any further—letting Bai Yan make "Shakuyan's Shana" was fine. She has experience, so he doesn't have to worry about it.

"That's how it is. "Daily Life of High School Boys" will be put aside for now, and Huiyue will make "Genius Mahjong Girl"." Meng Huo looked at Qin Ming who was a little excited. Said: "I will find time to go to Yangjiang to check. During this time, you should prepare this animation well."

"Okay, Teacher He Xi!" Qin Ming readily agreed, and then Meng Huo discussed with Bai Yan about the second season of "Shakugan no Shana", Bai Yan was already prepared. Cope perfectly.

Meng Huo was relieved. After finishing the video call, he found Qin Ya and informed her that the press conference of "Idiot Quiz Summoned Beast" could be held.

The press conferences of "Shakugan no Shana" and "Genius Mahjong Girl" will be held in Tokyo and Yangjiang respectively, but at different times. And the press conference of "Genius Mahjong Girl" was held at the end, and Meng Huo had to go there to host it himself.

He handed over the press conference of "Stupid Test Summoned Beast" to Qin Ya. Qin Ya had no doubts about this matter, but she was very curious about another matter.

"Teacher, why is there no "One Piece"?"

Bai Yan and Qin Ming also asked this question. They both knew that He Xi had promised to make "One Piece" before the trip. Now there are vacancies for three animations. Why didn't "One Piece" be included in it?

"Island Studio does not make long-form animations." Meng Huo replied to Qin Ya. This is a principle he has established a long time ago. Island Studios will not do long-form animations. Give restrictions.

And if "One Piece" is animated, it will definitely be a super long animation, and it will not end without thinking about it for more than ten years. Naturally, it is impossible for Meng Huo to put it in the pocket of the island studio.

"Bai Yan doesn't like to make feature-length animations either." This is the second reason. Among the directors dug out by Phoenix Company, Bai Yan is the one who resembles Meng Huo the most. The Shana of Shana is actually a series of short stories that have been separated.

But "One Piece" does not fit this model, it is either not made into animation, or it cannot be stopped at will.

"What about Huiyue?" Qin Ya frowned: "Huiyue will always make feature-length animations, right?"

"Of course they will. The question is—can you rest assured?" Meng Huo asked Qin Ya back. Qin Ya was speechless for a while, and she was right. The manga of "One Piece" was too popular, and Huiyue Studio hadn't accepted it yet. heritage.

If "One Piece" is handed over to Huiyue Studio, whether it can be done well is one thing, and the news will immediately arouse the anger of fans.

This is a manga known as China's No. 1 manga. How can it be handed over to others for production? If it is not a team that can be recognized by most fans, whoever receives it will be a hot potato.

"Then what should I do? Isn't this unsolvable?" Qin Ya found that this matter was very troublesome. Apart from Meng Huo and Bai Yan, only "Detective Conan" and "One Piece" could be produced by Phoenix Company. The Pokemon team.

But the two animations have nailed the two animation departments, and it is impossible for them to get out to make "One Piece"-"Is there any other team that can make "One Piece"?"

Qin Ya frowned: "Does it have to be delayed again?"

"No, don't delay..." Meng Huo shook his head: "I already have an idea. If everything goes well, a team will take over the animation next month."

Qin Ya's eyes widened in astonishment: "Which team?"

"You will know when the time comes." Meng Huo is not very sure that he will succeed, but he is 90% sure that the charm of "One Piece" is unstoppable, and he does not believe that there will be an artist in China who refuses to make this film animation.

"I will create a team that everyone can accept." Meng Huo smiled at Qin Ya: "Don't be too surprised then."

Qin Ya's heart moved: "Angel?"

"..." Meng Huo didn't expect her to react so quickly, but since he was guessed, he didn't need to hide it: "Yes, they are angels. I want them to cooperate with me."

This matter began when he heard that Jiang Tianshi and Angel were not under Zhongxia's control, so he began to think about it. Is there a more explosive combination in China than Angel He Xi? (To be continued.)
