After coming out of the office, Meng Huo saw Alice.

"Finally found you?"

Alice was also looking for him, with sweat stains on her forehead, she said, "It's a meeting, come with me."

"Meeting? Do you mean the business department?"

Meng Huo followed her and asked, if it was a matter of the business department, there would be no need for a meeting. Xu Jing had already told him everything, but Meng Huo was still hesitant and didn't want to make a hasty decision on the candidate.

"Business department? Ah... You heard what my dad said." Alice was taken aback for a moment, then shook her head and smiled, "No, that matter is still under planning, and now it's another matter."

"What's up?"

"You just come with me..."

Alice brought Meng Huo to a conference room, where several people were already sitting, including the husband and wife from the animation production department, He Qian, and Lin Mingzhe, the chief financial officer. They sat in two rows, Lin Mingzhe sat on one side, and the others sat on the other side.

"Teacher He Xi!"

After Meng Huo came in, these people stood up and greeted him.

"Where are the editor-in-chief Ye and the others?"

Meng Huo asked curiously. He didn't see the editors-in-chief of "Weekly Boy" and "Weekly Girl", nor did he find the heads of the personnel and publishing departments. He felt a little strange.

This shouldn't be an important meeting, right?

"They are still interviewing some newcomers, and this meeting has nothing to do with them." Lin Mingzhe helped answer, his brows were frowned: "Mr. He Xi, don't you know the reason for coming here?"

Meng Huo nodded: "Who can explain to me?"

"Let me do it." Alice opened the stool to let Meng Huo sit down, and then explained to him.

The cause of the incident came from the dubbing troubles encountered during the production of "Pokemon" and "fate/staynight". Both the animation production department and the game production department used to stir their brains for voice actors. During a chat among the three principals, the idea of ​​forming a voice actor agency suddenly popped up.

The current voice actors are too scattered and chaotic. And there are often gaps. If Phoenix Company has its own voice actor firm, it will be much more convenient for future game and animation production.

He Qian and the others told Alice about the matter, and she also agreed with this idea, so this meeting was held.

"We conducted a private investigation, and most of the voice actors are interested in jumping over here. I think this plan is completely feasible." Alice said: "I want to establish a small voice actor agency and keep all the current voice actors."

Meng Huo was a little surprised, the voice actor firm. He hasn't thought about it yet, but he didn't expect these people to think of it in advance.

"I don't agree." But after Alice finished speaking, Lin Mingzhe said, "The establishment of a voice actor agency requires a lot of expenses, and the current model is already very good."

Phoenix Company is a comic company, and now it is involved in animation and game production. Lin Mingzhe feels that there is no need to enter the entertainment industry. And as a chief financial officer, the interests of the company are the bottom line that he cannot compromise.

The status of voice actors in China is not high. A perfect development path has not yet been formed, and the prospect of a voice actor firm is very bleak.

Not to mention that the company's games no longer need voice actors, animation voice actors are sufficient, and they only need to pay a small amount every week. If you open a firm, you will need more funds to maintain this department. Not any good.

"Meng Huo, what do you think?"

Alice looked expectantly at Meng Huo.

Meng Huo was silent. It turned out that Alice called him here as a lobbyist. As long as he speaks, Lin Mingzhe is not willing. You should nod in the end. Xu Jing didn't show up, meaning let him make the decision.

to be frank. Meng Huo was very interested in voice actor firms, but the time was wrong.

Now he only needs voice actors for the animation "Pokemon", and it is not very useful to establish an office. The animation market in China has not yet developed, and it is difficult for voice actors to increase their worth.

"I don't think it's appropriate..." So, he said: "It should be possible in two years, but it's too urgent to do it now."

Phoenix is ​​not a big company, and money should not be spent recklessly. Meng Huo feels that at this stage, the disadvantages of establishing a voice actor agency outweigh the benefits. Only when he releases more works will the value of voice actors be revealed.

"Is it urgent..." Alice shook her head and said, "Actually, I understand that this is a bit too hasty, but this can solve another matter."

The others looked over curiously: "What's the matter?"

"He Xi's first anniversary celebration..."

Alice turned her head to look at Meng Huo, and said with a smile: "Those voice actors are artists, I think they can participate in the performance of the celebration, and if they are recruited first, the appearance fee can be reduced a lot. And during the first anniversary celebration Appearing on the stage will be of great benefit to Teacher He Xi and the voice actors."

For He Xi's first anniversary celebration, Phoenix Company has reserved a huge amount of money to make it the largest cartoonist celebration in history. There will be many activities during the period, and performances are also indispensable.

"Wait...Miss Alice, you mean...don't plan to invite celebrities to help out?"

Lin Mingzhe interrupted suddenly, and asked with bright eyes, according to what Alice said, if the company allows these voice actors to perform, it can save a lot of money.

The appearance fees of China's second-tier stars are several million, and these several million are more than enough to set up a voice actor agency, and the voice actor's net worth is not high.

Xu Jing said that this celebration should do everything possible, Lin Mingzhe didn't think about saving money, but it was different when Alice spoke. She is Xu Jing's daughter, and she has a good relationship with Meng Huo. If the two people agree to not invite celebrities for this celebration, it will save a lot of money.

"I don't think it is necessary to invite celebrities. This is our celebration. If too many celebrities are invited, it will become their stage instead."

Alice nodded and replied that the celebration she wanted was He Xi's personal celebration, not a star stage, and she believed that the cartoonist He Xi could attract a large number of readers.

If the program on the stage is related to He Xi's work, for example, animation voice actors perform on stage, it will be easier for the audience to like it.

Lin Mingzhe's heart moved, this Alice's idea is very good...

"Teacher He Xi, what do you think?"

He asked Meng Huo, and his attitude changed: "If you don't invite celebrities, the company's funds will be very abundant, enough to establish a small voice actor agency."

Lin Mingzhe made a calculation in his heart, the money from the celebrities can support those voice actors for several years. The only problem is that the stars can liven up the atmosphere of the festival, without them, the effect of this festival may be reduced.

This is a celebration held by Phoenix Company with great difficulty, will He Xi agree?

"I agree……"

Lin Mingzhe was still thinking, but Meng Huo nodded. He liked the idea. Originally, this celebration of the comics industry should not be a celebration of the entertainment industry. He liked Alice's idea.

Originally, Meng Huo had no interest in the celebration, but now he has more expectations.

"Okay, since Teacher He Xi said so, let's build it!" Lin Mingzhe was happy, and the company saved a lot of money: "But Miss Alice, you have to prepare the value report of the firm for me."

He turned his head to remind Alice: "Our company will not raise people for nothing."

"no problem……"

Alice breathed a sigh of relief. The seiyuu firm may not be able to make money in recent years, but it is unlikely to lose money. If the celebration is successful, these seiyuu may be able to generate other income.

The three of He Qian were also very happy. After the meeting, they went back to announce the good news.

Meng Huo and Alice walked back to the office. On the way, he smiled and said, "How did you think of this?"

"I've been in the entertainment industry for a long time, I just miss it..." Alice replied: "Those voice actors are basically depressed people. We set up an agency to give them a chance."

"The profession of voice actor...you have always paid attention to it." Alice smiled slightly: "Anyway, sooner or later, it's better to start now?"

She blinked at Meng Huo, and Meng Huo smiled wryly, "I really can't hide it from you..."

Sometimes he felt that his thoughts could not escape Alice's eyes.

"..."

Meng Huo suddenly frowned. For some reason, he thought of Shen Jie at this moment, and she paid the same attention to him as Alice.
