Meng Huo only stayed in Tokyo for half a day. After assigning the work of setting up a new editorial department, he was about to leave.

However, just as Meng Huo walked out of the Sakura Animation Company, a scene that surprised him appeared. Twenty or thirty cartoonists stood at the entrance of the Sakura Animation Company. The cartoonists rushed over, and they expressed their gratitude to Meng Huo excitedly, and several female cartoonists almost burst into tears.

"Teacher He Xi, thank you for giving us a chance!"

"Teacher He Xi, your decision is too timely!"

Meng Huo was a little stunned. When he learned the specific reason, he broke out in a cold sweat behind his back.

He didn't pay much attention to the situation of comics before. He didn't expect that the competition of Phoenix Company's comics had become so terrible that it almost drove away all these new cartoonists. This made Meng Huo a little scared, but at the same time he was also grateful Fortunately, the action to expand the magazine was made in time, otherwise Phoenix Company would suffer a great loss.

He comforted the cartoonists, and then returned to Ninghai.

After returning to Ninghai, the executives of Phoenix Company continued to discuss the details of the magazines, but they encountered very big differences on the specific classification standards. Finally, under the suggestions of Meng Huo and Xu Jing, everyone reached an unsatisfactory, but considered The new magazine was successfully submitted to the government for approval.

Let me tell you the final result here—because of the strong efforts of the Ninghai City Publishing House and the editorial department, the editorial department of "Weekly Youth" will continue to stay in Ninghai. ''Victory'' and other domineering hot-blooded boy comics, which are also the best-selling comic genre, and "One Piece" and "Dream Eater" continue to be serialized on it.

The editorial department of "Weekly Girls" has all moved to Suhua, focusing on the royal elements of girl comics such as "love", "idol" and "romance". Manga such as "Yoran High School Male Public Relations Department Live Version" will continue to be serialized in "Weekly Girls" .

There are also two new magazines, these two new magazines will use a unified name - "Weekly Gemini", "Weekly Gemini" is divided into male and female editions, for the convenience of work and sales statistics. The serials of the two magazines are scheduled for Monday and Tuesday. The male version of "Weekly Gemini" is in charge of Su Hua's new company, while the female version is handed over to Sakura Company. Takako Takashima, the vice president of Sakura Company, is temporarily concurrently the editor-in-chief of the female version of "Weekly Gemini".

"Weekly Gemini" is different from the previous two magazines in its kingly positioning, and it absorbs a wider range of subjects. Any theme will be accepted, preferring to explore the charm of niche themes. As a popular detective comic, "Detective Conan" was moved to the male version of "Weekly Gemini". Phoenix Company hopes that this work can open up the market of "Weekly Gemini".

"One Piece" and "Detective Conan" stay in the same magazine, and it is not cost-effective to compete with each other. The separate serialization this time is also conducive to long-term stability.

A final decision has been made, and while there are still many questions, it has generally stabilized. The editorial departments of the four magazines are located in different regions, but they are closely related to each other. In addition to the different publishing locations, the sales channels are unified, and the editorial departments in the three regions all have a very important responsibility - manuscript delivery.

This is the main reason why Meng Huo wants to disperse the editorial department. Cartoonists in each region can submit manuscripts no matter what type of comics are nearby, and the editorial department must pass these manuscripts to the corresponding editorial department. Form a system of mutual cooperation. In order to reduce the friction between these editorial departments, Meng Huo also specially asked the personnel department to strengthen the personnel flow of several editorial departments.

Subsequently, Phoenix officially announced the addition of new magazines.

As soon as the news came out, the entire comics world was shocked, and even people who were not in the comics world were shocked by the news.

"Phoenix Company launched two new magazines at once, which is too big a step!" Li Ming, editor-in-chief of Longteng Novel, was one of them, and he jumped up immediately when he got the news. subsequently. Li Ming sent a letter of congratulations to Meng Huo, and then invited Ye Xiong, the editor-in-chief of Phoenix Company's comics, to dinner.

"Who made this decision?"

Eating is just an excuse, Li Ming is more concerned about the details behind the scenes: "Suddenly adding two new magazines, you are standing opposite Longteng Company this time, it doesn't seem like Chairman Xu has the courage!"

The addition of two new magazines to Phoenix is ​​significant, as magazines are the cornerstone of everything a comic book company does. Expand two magazines. This means that the number of cartoonists of Phoenix Company is close to that of Zhongxia Company. The number of cartoonists is the driving force behind the development of the comic company. With a sufficient number of cartoonists, Phoenix Company will have a real impact on Zhongxia Company. threatened.

With a huge reserve of cartoonists and He Xi, if the two new magazines of Phoenix Company develop. It will be very difficult to be knocked down again. But this step is also a very dangerous one. The risk of developing a new magazine is quite high. Not only Zhongxia Company, but also many other comic companies will feel a sense of fear, which may lead to collective confrontation.

"You are asking knowingly." Ye Xiong smiled and said, "The only one who can make this decision is Teacher He Xi, right?"

"..."

Li Ming was a little stunned. The answer was not difficult to guess, and it could even be said to be easy.

Years ago, there were rumors that He Xi would control Phoenix Company, but the subtext of that news was a little different from now. Although everyone said that He Xi was the new owner of Phoenix Company, not many people actually believed it. In other words, everyone thinks that although He Xi controls the two branches at this stage, Xu Jing will still be in charge of the Phoenix Company in a few years.

However, as soon as this incident happened, people's thoughts were shaken. Phoenix Company has not officially started working in Suhua, and the decision to add a new magazine was made in Ninghai. Logically speaking, the person who decided on this magazine should be Xu Jingcai——Ye Xiong told the truth, and Li Ming was surprised. It's a pity that he took power earlier than he and everyone thought.

"Ms. He Xi is really going farther and farther..." Li Ming said with some regret while drinking tea. He originally expected He Xi to write novels again, but this time he completely gave up. The controller, that young man is no longer able to switch to another company.

"Isn't he afraid of Zhongxia's suppression?"

He couldn't help asking, and then felt that his question was stupid: "Forget it, if I didn't ask, Teacher He Xi was not afraid of Zhongxia before, and now there is no reason to be afraid of them."

Ye Xiong nodded.

"Zhongxia Company got the animation copyright of Teacher He Xi's "ad". They want to reconcile with our company." , then we will tear ourselves apart with Teacher He Xi, and Teacher He Xi will definitely be very angry."

He saw through Zhong Xia's unwillingness to offend He Xi. In fact, from the moment he bought "ad", Zhong Xia never had a chance to confront Meng Huo again.

In Zhongxia Company, Ding Yanghua had no choice but to smash his teeth and swallow the news after hearing the news. He drank cold water in the office, paced around, and kept comforting himself in his heart: "It's okay, those are just two new magazines, nothing big can happen...I can't get angry, and I can't be with you at this critical moment." He Xi turned his face!"

After all, the reconciliation was as good as before. Even if Phoenix Company launched two new magazines, Zhongxia Company had to hold back its panic. They can no longer hurt both sides with He Xi. The next few years will be the golden age of the comic industry. If they miss this era of rapid development, they will never have another chance in the next hundred years.

"Genius, in the final analysis, is still a question of manga genius!"

Ding Yanghua calmed down, if there was one He Xi in the comics world, there might be a second one. Zhongxia just needs to wait, and then find a cartoonist with He Xi's talent within a few years. With their huge financial resources and perfect packaging, that cartoonist will definitely be more popular than He Xi. hope.

"I have to persuade the second young master, what kind of animated movie is he playing there? How can his achievements in that line be compared to comics..."

This thought flashed through Ding Yanghua's mind.

Then, two more days passed. On February 13th, Phoenix Company officially opened. On the 14th, "Shakugan no Shana" was released. At noon on the same day, Meng Huo took Alice and his party on the high-speed train to Suhua.

This kicked off the most turbulent year in the history of comics.
