Big Manga

Chapter 150: The Phoenix Rises from the Fire (Part 1)

March 1, Phoenix Building

Xu Jing looked down at the scene below through the tempered glass wall. People were coming and going on the street, and the traffic was dense. This was the same scene as usual.

In the past, when He Xi's comics came out, there would be a burst of madness, and people could be seen reading comics on the streets and in bookstores. But this time the scene after the broadcast of "Pokemon" is very dull, as if it can't see its effect.

If it wasn't for the newspaper on the table telling Xu Jing when the animation was broadcast and how lively the places in Ninghai were, maybe he would have thought that the animation had failed. This is the difference between animation and manga. When the animation data has not been released, it is difficult for you to judge whether it is successful or not from the social scene.

"No, maybe I got out of the crowd..."

Xu Jing laughed at himself as he thought about it, "Pokemon" was undoubtedly a big success, but he didn't live among the crowd. If he went for a walk, bought vegetables, took the bus or the subway as an ordinary old man, he should be able to listen to it. A lot of people are talking about this animation.

Breaking away from the crowd is a manifestation of a person's success. Xu Jing has worked hard for most of his life. He has long since lost the feeling of groping at the bottom of society, and his body cannot support that kind of life.

If possible, Xu Jing very much hopes that he can maintain his current life and status.

But this kind of thing can no longer continue. After the broadcast of "Pokemon" last night, many things have changed unconsciously overnight. The world today is completely different from the world a day ago.

Xu Jing's gaze turned to the entrance of the Phoenix Building, where a bright red Porsche was parked, and two teenagers, a boy and a girl, got out of the car. Xu Jing didn't pay attention to the girl, he stared at the boy. Complicated mind.

"Meng Huo, how can I keep you in Phoenix?"

Today is the day when Phoenix Company starts work. The editorial department is not fully at work yet, but all the animation production department are here. The production of "Pokemon" is urgent, and no one dares to be lazy.

Meng Huo took Shen Jie into the building.

"Mr. He Xi, hello..."

"Mr. He Xi, good morning..."

Everyone he met on the road greeted Meng Huo with respect. Now everyone in the company knows that He Xi is the head of the animation production department, so naturally they seem extremely enthusiastic. In contrast, the stunning Shen Jie seems to have been forgotten, which makes Shen Jie feel very novel. Wherever she goes, she will be noticed by others, but she walks by Meng Huo's side.

It's completely green.

"Good morning."

Meng Huo responded to other people's greetings with a smile, and only recovered when he walked to the office.

"Teacher He Xi."

In the office, Li Hua and Zhong Yue had been waiting for Meng Huo for a long time. When they saw him coming in, they stood up and said, "Good news, the animation ratings of "Pokemon" are very high!"

"Teacher He Xi. We can wait for other TV stations to come!"

The faces of the two of them were very excited, and Meng Huo noticed what they said: "Has the ratings come out yet?"

"No, not yet." Li Hua laughed and said, "But we have someone we know on the TV station. He told us that the ratings of "Pokemon" are at least 15%!"

"15%?"

Meng Huo frowned slightly. The ratings of "Tom and Jerry" seemed to be 34%, and "Pokemon" still had a long way to go. But it doesn't matter, after all, there is only one episode.

"Li Hua, you take Shen Jie down." Meng Huo said, "She promised to continue to be a voice actress, you find someone to teach her."

Shen Jie learned dubbing for a while before Chinese New Year, but she still needs more professional guidance if she wants to become a professional voice actress.

"Okay." Li Hua nodded, and then took Shen Jie away. Shen Jie said goodbye to Meng Huo before leaving.

"Where is He Qian?" After the two women left, Meng Huo asked Zhong Yue: "Didn't you say that she wants to work in the company?"

It was strange that he didn't see He Qian beside Li Hua and Zhong Yue.

"It's not that early." Zhong Yue said with a wry smile, "She just got out of the hospital and needs to rest for a while, we'll bring her back later."

"Then let her rest for a while." Meng Huo nodded, thinking it was good.

"Teacher He Xi. This is today's worksheet..." Then, Zhong Yue took out a worksheet, and the two started working.

It was a very busy day. Shen Jie stayed in the dubbing room separated by transparent glass, and she could always see Meng Huo passing by outside. Some adults followed behind him. Holding information and pictures and talking non-stop, and as long as Meng Huo pointed out any problems, these adults would appear very frustrated.

"Amazing……"

Shen Jie was dumbfounded, and the dubbing was out of tune a few times.

However, Meng Huo was really busy. He just came back from the Chinese New Year, and many painters and employees couldn't find their status, and there were mistakes everywhere in their work. Meng Huo wanted to check the situation of various departments, and held a meeting to study. Even at noon, when he finally had a break, the Guole Tong from Ninghai TV station came.

"What is he here for?"

Feeling strange, Meng Huo still took the time to meet him.

The purpose of Guo Le Tong coming to Phoenix Company is to fight for more rights to broadcast "Pokemon". Ninghai TV Station wants the exclusive premiere of this animation, one week ahead of other local TV stations, and on the basis of the existing broadcasting, it will be broadcast on Wednesday A replay of the afternoon.

After a series of bargaining, Ninghai TV station offered a price of 1 million per episode. This number surprised Meng Huo. The TV station was so generous that he agreed without hesitation.

Immediately, Meng Huo announced the news to important members of the animation production department.

"1000000!"

"My God, that's too high!"

Everyone was stunned by the amount. With the broadcasting fee of 1 million yuan per episode, the production cost of "Pokemon" was fully filled by Ninghai TV Station alone. It was unimaginable when they were Kagetsu Animation Studios.

"Animation really is still important..."

"It's a good thing the boss is Teacher He Xi, not that Li Tianhui..."

"Damn it, we're all going to be prosperous in the future!"

Many people think this way, their hearts are filled with excitement, their eyes light up, as if seeing the rapid increase in wages.

"In the future, the production cost of each episode of animation will increase to 400,000." Meng Huo looked at the excited faces and said with a smile: "If you work hard on this animation, you will definitely increase your salary in the future."

He knew what these people were thinking, so he simply made a promise.

"Long live Teacher He Xi!"

"Leader, I love you!"

The enthusiasm of the key members of the animation production department immediately rose, and after work in the afternoon, the news quietly spread to other people's ears, the entire animation production department was boiling, and the work efficiency increased greatly.

Meng Huo checked the progress. In two days, the second episode of "Pokemon" will be released.

In the afternoon, when it was time to get off work, Alice approached Meng Huo and said, "My dad wants to see you."

"it is good."

Meng Huo thought it was a new topic, so he put down the work.

"I read your new comic book today." While taking the elevator, Alice said: "The story is very good, the rhythm is very good, I like the picture when Saber debuts, it would be great if you could draw it more beautifully .”

She looked at Meng Huo tentatively, and Meng Huo guessed that she wanted to draw that very beautiful picture by herself.

"Fate/staynight", this is a story about a group of people fighting for a holy grail that can make wishes come true, and saber is a very important character in it, even the heroine is not an exaggeration.

Saber is a heroic spirit summoned by the male protagonist. The scene of her appearance is of course important, and Alice's request is not excessive at all.

"OK."

Meng Huo readily agreed.

"Also, when I read this comic, I always have a strange feeling. Just in case, I want to ask you, those heroic spirits..." Alice wanted to say something, but the elevator dinged, She had no choice but to stop the topic: "I'll ask this question later, you go to see my dad first."

Meng Huo nodded and walked out of the elevator, and walked into Xu Jing's office with Alice.

As always, his office smelled like tea. Meng Huo had studied with Xu Jing here for a while, so he was very familiar with this smell.

"Here you are, Alice, you sit down first." After Xu Jing asked his daughter to sit down, he said to Meng Huo with a smile, "Meng Huo, make us some tea. I haven't had the tea you made for a long time."

"it is good."

Meng Huo nodded slightly, and skillfully went to get the tea leaves.

Xu Jing was very satisfied with his attitude, then shook his head, took a pile of documents and sat down on the sofa opposite Alice. Xu Jing put the materials on the small table. These materials were the materials of "Oriental Fantasy Township" that Alice had given him during the day and had already finished reading.

"Is this subject okay?"

Meng Huo made the tea, put it on the table, and asked carefully.

"Hmm, very interesting subject." Xu Jing took a few sips from his teacup and exclaimed, "Your skill in making tea is not unfamiliar, do you also drink tea at home?"

"This..." Meng Huo was stunned for a moment, then shook his head and said, "I don't drink tea at home."

In his view, tea is not much different from water.

"How can you not drink it! Tea is the essence of Chinese culture, and drinking more tea will not do you any harm!" Xu Jing stared. He is a standard tea fan and wants to promote his tea philosophy whenever he has the opportunity.

But Meng Huo has long been used to listening, and the left ear goes in and the right ear flies out.

Xu Jing talked about the benefits of drinking tea for a few minutes, and finally changed the subject.

"This theme is interesting because it is interesting." He said, "But the operability is too low, and the company's cartoonists cannot be directly drawn..."

This answer was exactly the same as Alice's. Meng Huo was a little disappointed, but after Xu Jing said no, the topic suddenly changed.

"Meng Huo, the company wants to hold a reader meeting for cartoonist He Xi. What's your opinion? This "Oriental Fantasy Township"...you can release it at the party." (Dingtian Novels, your support, It is my biggest motivation. Mobile phone users please go to read.)
