Big Manga

Ten days before the Spring Festival, Suhua University City was completely empty, the students hadn't come back yet, and the manga island was not as lively as before. ┠.([.c［om

However, at this time, many departments of the Phoenix Company have already started working, and employees have returned from various places one after another—for the newcomers who just joined last year, this is the shortest vacation since they went to college.

The four of Han Xuan also returned to Manga Island. They have been back for a few days, and they are busy with work, so they haven't seen each other yet.

In the clubhouse with a huge stage in Manga Island, Han Xuan and the staff of the office nervously prepared for the largest party that Phoenix has ever had.

The name of this party is "Phoenix Company Opening Festival", which is a grand ceremony for the arrival of the new year. It is held by Phoenix Company and a number of TV stations. It is the first variety show in the comics industry.

The hosts of the show are matched by well-known hosts sent by different TV stations, and many professionals are hired to participate in the layout of the stage and the planning of the program.

This is destined to be a grand party, and there are still a few days before the party. The surroundings of the stage are still being decorated, but the rehearsal has already started above.

"Han Xuan, move that cherry blossom tree to the right!"

"it is good."

Han Xuan and several employees carried a cherry blossom tree decoration to the right side of the stage. The core of the stage layout for this new year festival is the phoenix and the cherry blossoms. The phoenix represents the company and the cherry blossoms represent spring.

The stage at this moment has been decorated very beautifully, with bright styles, and when the New Year Festival is held, turn on the lighting effect, and the whole hall will be like cherry blossoms.

After moving the cherry tree, Han Xuan stood aside to rest, and a band was singing the animated song of "One Piece" on the stage.

"I don't think I've heard this song before?"

"It should be a song that will appear in the animation of "One Piece" in the future. It happened to be used as a surprise for the audience in the party."

The two colleagues chatted about the animated songs on the stage, while Han Xuan looked down the stage, where several directors were discussing the show.

The New Year's Eve of Phoenix Company is not only a festival to celebrate the New Year, but also a channel for publicity. There will be arrangements for many popular animations.

Just like the band on the stage, that is the official band of "One Piece", and there are several performances in this opening ceremony,

The major TV stations have also actively won the opportunity to create momentum for "One Piece" at the New Year Festival.

The same is true of other animations of course. Phoenix Company has invested tens of millions of dollars in this gala, and must do the best in both the program and the special effects.

"Okay, the rehearsal is here this morning."

After the song ended, a director came out and said to the performers sitting in the auditorium: "Disband. ═┡╞┝╪╪┠┢┠┠. A new round of rehearsals will start at three o'clock in the afternoon."

"Great, it's over!"

"I'm going to stink to death. I sweated a lot during rehearsal. I have to go back and take a shower later!"

"Goodbye, Director Bai!"

The band and voice actors in the auditorium walked out loudly.

Han Xuan was a little envious. These artists could end early, but the behind-the-scenes staff couldn't leave immediately. In order to get the stage ready in time, they often even had to order takeaway here for meals.

But the busiest work is over, they didn't work overtime today, Han Xuan managed to get off work at twelve o'clock. With sweat all over, he hurriedly ran to the hot pot restaurant in Manga Island.

Liu Yun will leave Manga Island tomorrow to work in Yanjing. At noon this day, Han Xuan and Li Yu plan to see her off at a self-service hot pot restaurant.

When Han Xuan arrived, the three of them had already sat down, and the ingredients were already on the table.

"If you don't come, we're going to eat."

Liu Yun was about to put the ingredients into the hot pot, when she saw Han Xuan running in, she laughed at how timely she came.

"Sorry, I've been busy all morning."

Han Xuan sat beside Li Yu and put down her bag. Seeing her sweating profusely, Li Yu handed her a tissue and asked, "Is the stage not decorated yet?"

"There are still some details." Han Xuan wiped her forehead and said, "I guess I will be busy until the New Year Festival."

at this time. Liu Yun has already made a hot pot.

"New Year Festival, I heard that this is a big plan."

"Yes, for the company, it can further strengthen our influence in the online world - it will be broadcast live on the He Xi Zhi Zhi app."

Han Xuan replied that the New Year's Eve of Phoenix Company adopted the form of live broadcast, and the app and special settings can enhance the interaction of online audiences. At the same time, in order to attract the audience, they also prepared a lot of prizes.

The importance of this party to Phoenix is ​​self-evident. There are many new business model experiments, and the reward function is also expected by many people.

"For our office, this is also a big event." Han Xuan laughed: "Many voice actors have the opportunity to appear on stage, and after this party, many concerts of voice actors in the future may be broadcast on the app."

"This is good, it's great!"

Liu Yun applauded. In the past, she had a concert she wanted to see, but she often couldn't see it. This is great, and she can watch the concert directly on the Internet. ┢┢╪┢┠w﹝ww.

"But compared to the actual concert, we have to delay it by a week to a month." Han Xuan added.

This is to not harm the interests of the concert itself. If they could watch the concert online at the same time, how many people would be willing to spend money to watch it live?

In order to ensure the quantity and quality of the live audience, it is normal for the concert to be delayed on the app. As for how long it will be extended, the partners of each concert may have different requirements.

"It's okay. It's okay if it's later than not watching it." Liu Yun didn't mind this, but she was curious: "Does our department have any activities during the New Year Festival?"

"certainly."

Han Xuan nodded. The business department that Liu Yun belongs to is a department that directly faces consumers. The marketing of peripherals and products is naturally indispensable at the New Year's Eve party.

"I seem to have heard that this year's carnival will also be broadcast on the app?" Li Yu asked at this time.

Han Xuan nodded: "I seem to have heard of this plan."

Phoenix Company does have this plan. The annual carnival is their biggest event, so it is likely to broadcast live on the app, using different TV stations to broadcast all the activities of the carnival.

"If the New Year's Eve is successful, it may become a common festival like a carnival in the future."

Han Xuan also said that this New Year's Eve is an experiment, and if it succeeds, it may become an annual New Year's Eve. Its scale is not as big as a carnival, and it is defined as a party. But still useful.

If it can be realized, in the future Phoenix Company will have New Year's Eve festivals during the transition days of winter and spring, and comic carnivals during the transition days of summer and autumn—one event every six months, it will not be troublesome.

"Does the game department have a program at the New Year Festival?"

Li Yu looked at Liu Yi.

Liu Yi shook his head. He had been back to work for a week, but he hadn't heard of anything the department would announce at the New Year's Eve. This party should mainly feature the firm's voice actors.

"Don't you guys have a game that you plan to release this year? The magic... yes, "World of Warcraft"!" Li Yu said, the name of this game is a bit strange. She almost read The Wizarding World.

"Isn't the New Year Festival a good time to announce the news?"

""World of Warcraft" is planned to be released this year, but whether it will be released or not..." Liu Yi shook his head. There are many variables in this game: "Besides, the release is also a matter of the second half of the year, and it will not appear in the opening ceremony. .”

"World of Warcraft" needs to be marketed and promoted, and it has to be operated in the carnival half a year later. The app of He Xi's Home Forum is getting a good response now, and the game department doesn't have such a sense of urgency anymore.

The Home of He Xi app is the most important promotion channel for "World of Warcraft", and it is also the channel for the game department to communicate with players in the future. Once this app is completed, future promotion will be easier.

"People's online games start marketing one or two years in advance, but your game is very calm."

"Teacher He Xi rarely discloses information about it to the outside world."

"I'm curious if its sales can be compared to "Pokemon". Its version changes quickly and its sales are high. It's hard to surpass!"

The girls smiled, and Liu Yi had a confident face: "Pokemon and World of Warcraft are two games that cannot be compared, but if I can make it, World of Warcraft is certainly more powerful .”

He also said that it was not that the game department was calm, but that after "One Piece" was broadcast for half a year and the voice actors were also working on the He Xizhijia app-that app became the best tool for "World of Warcraft".

According to the current development trajectory of the app, in half a year, its number of users will exceed 100 million, so why does "World of Warcraft" need to worry about publicity?

"It turns out that this app has so many functions."

Li Yu was startled. After listening to Liu Yi's words, it seems that the app is the core business that Phoenix will develop this year.

When she heard it for the first time, she didn't expect it to have so many functions.

Han Xuan and Liu Yun don't know much about the potential of the app, but compared to this. They were more concerned about the upcoming New Year's Eve, and soon changed the topic to the New Year's Eve.

"Speaking of the New Year Festival, Shen Jie will definitely appear?" Li Yu asked.

Han Xuan nodded: "Of course, I've already asked the agency. Every voice actor who debuts must be on the stage, and a well-known voice actor like her can't escape."

"Then what's her show?"

"I don't know about this." Han Xuan shook her head. Shen Jie didn't come back to rehearse, she didn't understand: "But Xia Chuan's real program has already been booked, she is the princess of the new year festival."

"Princess?" The other three looked at each other: "What do you mean?"

"On the surface, she is the "central character" of this year's new year's festival, and she will also lead the theme song of the party. The "central character" has a special title, and girls are called princesses."

Han Xuan replied that although the New Year Festival has not yet established a brand, Phoenix has already made some special plans for its future. Every year at the New Year's Festival, there will be a "central character", the female is called the princess, and the male is called the prince - referring to the person who has contributed the most to the comics and animation industries in the past year.

It turned out that in the voting for this role, many people wanted to vote for He Xi, but He Xi was absent for half a year, coupled with his unwillingness, he had to cancel in the end.

Although Xia Chuanzhen left for a few months last year, it was indeed a year when she shined, so everyone chose her as the heroine of this year, and she was also the princess of the first New Year Festival.

"So handsome..." Li Yu heard the word "princess" for the first time, and his eyes lit up: "Is this princess only a voice actor can be?"

Han Xuan shook her head: "No."

In this voting, quite a few people voted for Qin Ya, which meant that there was no occupational restriction, but voice actors did have many advantages.

"Is Xia Chuan really coming back? How did I hear..."

"She will come back." Han Xuan already had news: "The office got the news yesterday that she will come back to participate in the New Year Festival."

"That's no wonder, Xia Chuan's real popularity is too high, she is the main character doing her part." Liu Yun nodded.

Liu Yi muttered: "In fact, there is another person who is more powerful than her..."

"Are you talking about Meng Huo? Haha...Didn't Han Xuan say it was impossible just now? He never appeared on such occasions."

"This time is so important, it's impossible that he didn't even make an appearance, right? He will basically appear in the carnival every year!" Liu Yi looked at Han Xuan: "Do you have any news?"

"Meng Huo...no..." Han Xuan shook her head: "I heard that there was a simple speech, but it can't be called a program, and there seems to be no other arrangements."

Liu Yi was a little disappointed. In fact, he really wanted to see Meng Huo play. He hadn't seen Meng Huo play the piano for a long time, and the songs he composed last year were basically handed over to the band.

"Don't be disappointed too quickly." Han Xuan said with a smile: "I'm not sure, the program list is still subject to change. And if he wants to perform any program, everyone else will give him time, and it cannot be said that he is really will not appear."

He Xi is a special existence. As long as he needs it, there is no need to book in advance. The stage will be changed immediately because of him, so no one is sure whether he will come out to perform. In fact, there are many people who are looking forward to his appearance. He may Will meet some people's expectations.

"makes sense."

Liu Yi nodded in relief.

"The New Year's Ceremony is broadcast live on the app, and many tickets are not for sale... If you want it, I can get it for you."

Han Xuan said.

"I want it!", "I want it too!"

Li Yu and Liu Yi immediately said they wanted it, and Liu Yun felt a little helpless: "You guys are so kind, I can't make it back to watch it, and I will watch it on my phone for the new year's festival."

Her hot pot was ready, Liu Yun greeted her, and several young people moved their chopsticks.

On this day, Alice was sitting in the yard basking in the sun, Meng Huo took Xia Chuanzhen on the flight back to Suhua, Shen Jie started to practice singing during the break at work, Qin Ya walked into the station with the white dog in her arms .

The new year has arrived. (To be continued.)
