Big Manga

"Blonde big sister?"

On the plane from Ninghai to Tokyo, Meng Huo had a complicated expression on his face.

"Yes, she seems to know brother, but she left before your performance was over."

Xia Chuan replied while eating the airline meal. Meng Huo knew that the big sister was Alice without even thinking about it——Alice actually came to see his performance, but she didn't appear in front of him. It seems that she is not doing well now. Come back and help him prepare.

Meng Huo felt a little regretful, but regrets were regrets. After returning to Tokyo, he quickly devoted himself to work.

The work in the Far East District is divided into two parts. One part is the department integration and business adaptation of Sakura Animation itself. This part has almost been completed by Meng Huo, but the other part is the franchised bookstores of the entire Far East—these bookstores were originally comic bookstores. Although Heaven's partners have signed a contract with Phoenix Company, Meng Huo still needs to spend time communicating with them in order to stabilize.

Fortunately, Man Tiantang was powerless, and no one interfered with Meng Huo's job.

Time flies, in September, a guest came to Tokyo——Zhou Qian, the organizer of the Big Sisters Alliance, had quit her job and came here full of expectations.

"The president is still in a meeting, miss, you wait for him here first." A female employee took Zhou Qian to the reception room, poured water for her, and asked, "Do you want to watch TV?"

Zhou Qian smiled indifferently: "Whatever."

She looked at the reception room. There were pictures of Mount Fuji and cherry blossoms on the wall, and there were several bottles of flower arrangements with special techniques on the table, which gave people a very fresh feeling.

"The Far Eastern District and Ninghai are really different..." Zhou Qian thought so, and the female employee had already turned on the LCD TV. And accompanied him to watch.

What was broadcast on TV was a trailer for a variety show. Zhou Qian was a little surprised by the content. The title at the bottom of the TV screen is "Not to be missed, the real interview record of the new generation idol Xia Chuan, Tokyo tv1, see you tonight!"

Then there are a few scenes, one is the host asking Xia Chuanzhen: "Miss Zhenzhen? You and Miss Masako are both named Xia Chuan. Are you sisters?" There was laughter all around.

Then Xia Chuan replied truthfully: "No, but Ms. Masako is just like my older sister."

There is also a shot of Xia Chuan singing in real life. Everyone in the audience applauded her vigorously.

The program preview was gone soon, Zhou Qian blinked her eyes: "Miss Real is famous?"

"That's right..." The female employee smiled and said, "Since she came back from Ninghai last time, Miss Zhen has received a lot of jobs. I stumbled while watching her rehearsal, but I never thought that she could become so powerful now."

Although she was smiling, she had a look of disappointment on her face that was similar to "elder sister watching younger sister go further and further away".

"That's it..."

A thought flashed in Zhou Qian's mind. She remembered that Long Xue from Ninghai had also frequently appeared in the media and various variety shows recently, and this time she saw Xia Chuan from the Far East Region doing the same. Zhou Qian suspected that these two seiyuu should be launched by Phoenix Company in a planned way, and that celebration was the stage for them to show their faces.

"Who is that Miss Masako that was mentioned in the trailer just now?"

she asked again.

"Xiachuan Masako. She, Ms. Zhenzhen, and Ms. Long Xue are all singers of "Gundam Seed"!" The female employee was a little surprised that Zhou Qian didn't know, and she said: "Ms. Masako is a singer. Recently, because of "Gundam Seed" Because of this, it has also become very popular, and the current news likes to associate her with Zhenzhen and Miss Long Xue, and call them "Gundam Diva."

"I thought everyone knew about it!"

"No, I don't know at all..." Zhou Qian shook her head and said, "This should be a term in the Far East Region. I haven't heard such a term in Ninghai, but... the title 'Gundam Diva' sounds It feels great, and it is estimated that it will spread to the mainland soon... Oh! I see... I see."

Zhou Qian's heart suddenly became clear. This "Gundam Diva" must be the howling head made by Teacher He Xi. It turns out that the celebration still has this purpose. At that time, Zhou Qian only saw through He Xi's commercial experiments, but she didn't realize that such a big move was hidden behind the scenes of the voice actress...

"Teacher He Xi, this trick is great!"

She admired it a little. The Phoenix Company was obviously making stars, but this star-making operation was not particularly obvious. Ordinary readers would not notice it at all. Some other media helped make those female voice actors popular.

"By the way, are you an animation production member of "Gundam Seed"?"

When you think of voice actors, you will naturally think of animation. Zhou Qian looked at the female staff with bright eyes: "The rhythm of these episodes of "Gundam Seed" is getting tighter and tighter. Isn't it almost time? Let me give a spoiler about whether Lacus is the heroine or not, she and Kira haven't sparked off yet, why Kira sent her back to Aslan, this is very interesting!"

This is Sakura Animation, the headquarters of "Gundam Seed", Zhou Qian couldn't sit still. She is watching "Gundam Seed", this gorgeous idol drama that loves to hate is undoubtedly a sweet cake for her. However, the emotional direction of the characters in it that she is most concerned about is simply a mess, making people confused and confused, and they don't know where it will develop.

"Are you also chasing "Gundam Seed"?" The female employee looked very surprised, she shook her head and said, "But I'm not from the animation team, so I want to know the answer too! I can't understand the pairing of the male and female protagonists at all. ...I feel that Kira and Kagalli are very likely, and Lux ​​and Aslan are engaged, and Fleur and Kira have slept together, but Fleur and Sai have an affair... "

"No, we can't look at it that way, the opening and ending animations show that Kira and Lux ​​are a pair, Aslan and Kagali are a pair, this should be the correct pairing...but how did it cause it? ! Is there any magical turning point in the future?"

"I don't know, Mr. He Xi's animation really captures the essence of idol dramas, the relationship is too messy..."

"But it's still pretty, right?"

The female employee and Zhou Qian looked at each other and smiled wryly at the same time. This kind of animation with confusing relationships and tangled plots is a big killer for most women, especially for girls who are young and who like to watch idols. People who love drama, "Gundam Seed" is a rare delicacy.

"I'm tired of watching live-action idol dramas, but it's good to watch animation."

"My younger brother also watches at home, "Gundam Seed" kills both men and women!"

"Boys should like the handsome battle scenes in it, right? It's different from ours..."

The two women turned off the TV and chatted without knowing it, and the more they chatted, the happier they were. They didn't come back to their senses until the reception room was opened.

"Hello, President..."

The female employee ran over to say hello, then turned around and smiled at Zhou Qian, and walked out from Meng Huo.

"Sorry, I just had a meeting."

Meng Huo walked in, put the documents on the table, and asked, "Was you waiting for a long time?"

"No, no." Zhou Qian shook her head and said with a smile on her face, "Mr. He Xi, I have already resigned, and I will be supported by you in the future..."

Meng Huo was taken aback.

"Don't be so exaggerated." He smiled wryly, then pulled out his chair and sat down: "Then, let's talk about your original occupation first, shall we?"

This time he asked about Zhou Qian's work experience. Zhou Qian was originally a designer and an experienced product shape designer. Meng Huo felt that it would be quite good to let her develop peripheral products. He tested Zhou Qian on the spot. She has her own opinions on the development and design of comic peripheral items, and she also did a lot of preparation work before coming to Tokyo.

Meng Huo felt that Zhou Qian was very capable after picking up a treasure, but compared to letting her go back to her original profession...

"It's a pity that we don't have any plans to develop the peripherals yet." Meng Huo said, "So, in the past few months, can you help me with another matter?"

Zhou Qian pulled herself together: "Please tell me."

She knew that the topic was coming, and this job must be related to readers and the comic business circle.

"You have a lot of contacts in the readership, I hope you can lobby some people..."

Sure enough, what Meng Huo said was almost the same as Zhou Qian expected: "We are going to slowly build a comic business circle centered on Phoenix Company in Suhua City, but that business circle needs many participants, so I hope you can find a manga business circle for me. Some people who are interested in this, invite them to go to Suhua to open a shop and start a business."

"We will provide rent and tax incentives with the local government..."

The place where the Phoenix Company moved was originally an island under development, but it was bought by the Meng family halfway. Now the new Phoenix Building has been renovated, and some surrounding buildings and ports and other transportation facilities have been completed, and several streets have appeared at the same time. , the scope of these streets is not large, but they are all empty. Whether they can be fully utilized is still a problem.

So Meng Huo wanted to invite some local rich readers to revitalize those streets. The Suhua government had promised tax breaks for several years, and the rent was reduced—because it was all the land of the Meng family, so it was not a problem at all.

"island?"

When she first heard what Meng Huo said, Zhou Qian didn't have a big reaction, but when she heard that the new headquarters turned out to be an island, the woman immediately became excited: "An island next to Suhua University City? Teacher He Xi, this But prime location, I'm willing to help!'

The island itself is not important, what is important is that its geographical location is very good, Zhou Qian agreed, Phoenix Company can win such a golden area, there will be no worries about no traffic in the future, this is also the best reason to convince the merchants.

"I'll give you the detailed information in two days, and we will reimburse you for the expenses you need to find someone." Seeing Zhou Qian's agreement, Meng Huo couldn't help smiling: "Welcome to Phoenix Company." (To be continued..
