Big Manga

In April, the number of daily visitors to Manga Island dropped to four or five thousand.

The number of people was much smaller, but it was barely able to maintain the operating expenses of the facilities. Everyone in the Phoenix Company breathed a sigh of relief. What is even more worth celebrating is that other businesses have expressed confidence in the future of Manga Island because of the success of the carnival. Several The merchant took the initiative to make friends with Meng Huo, and the unstable factors on Manga Island were eliminated a lot.

However, Carnival is just a 'stimulant' thing. It is impossible to completely change the territory of Manga Island. To expand the business of Manga Island in a long-term and stable manner, Phoenix Company has to carry out a long process of publicity and promotion.

He Xi's new work is the best way to build popularity, and in April, Meng Huo's plan is to sell "Pokemon".

However, this does not mean that he will do his best to focus on "Pokemon". On the contrary, he has other important things to do. After the carnival, the Phoenix Company has several jobs to continue to deal with: one is four magazines Entering the critical period of business expansion, a lot of promotion and channel laying are required. The second is that a group of new merchants have settled in Manga Island, the third is the release of the second volume of "Shakugan no Shana", and the fourth is...

All in all, there were a lot of tasks that needed to be dealt with urgently, and Meng Huo was busy for a few days before finishing these tasks—or, in other words, allocating them.

He handed over the magazine to Ye Xiong and others, handed over the merchants of Manga Island to Zhou Qian, handed over the release of the second volume of "Shakugan no Shana" to Ning Hai's editorial department, and Alice integrated the new animation department and voice actors. Everything about it—including the follow-up development of Xia Chuanzhen and Long Xue and others, while Jose returned to his own line and accelerated the completion of "Pokemon" with all his strength.

Having enough assistants made Meng Huo heave a sigh of relief after letting go of these tasks. He non-stop rushed to the extreme east to discuss the animation of "Detective Conan" with Sakura Animation.

""Gundam Seed" will end in May. "Detective Conan" is still too late to prepare..."

on the airplane. Meng Huo couldn't help sighing, if it wasn't for his carelessness, he should have been able to prepare the animation of "Detective Conan" earlier.

But when they arrived in Tokyo and talked with Takashima and his wife, they said something that surprised Meng Huo: "Mr. He Xi, "Detective Conan" may be released in May."

Meng Huo was very surprised. He didn't understand what was going on until Gao Dao and his wife handed him a thick document. It turned out that Sakura Animation had already secretly produced the animation schedule of "Detective Conan" more than ten days ago. This plan was originally a tool to persuade Meng Huo, but after Meng Huo agreed to hand over "Detective Conan", the plan could be implemented directly.

The difficulty of animation production of "Detective Conan" is fully considered in the schedule.

Thanks to the support of the original manga, "Detective Conan" omitted the most responsible story production and plot setting. The difficulty of animation can be said to be greatly reduced. The production cycle of the start of work can be reduced by half compared with "Gundam Seed". The first episode will be released in the middle of the month.

"It can be done in more than a month, and the speed is very fast... But you have to take care of the production of "Gundam Seed"." Meng Huo paced around the office. Frowning slightly, he said, "Is there not enough manpower?"

"There is pressure." Takako Takashima nodded: "However, the staff in the animation team are very active. They are willing to work overtime to rush the production, and we have also contacted several outsourcing companies to help..."

For Sakura Company, getting the animation production rights of "Detective Conan" is the greatest blessing this year. Everyone in the company is very excited, and all the employees in the animation production department are as excited as if they were beaten, even more than 80% of people who have written a pledge are willing to give up all vacations from April to May.

This is not surprising, "Detective Conan" is a popular comic, and it is a popular comic with no end in sight. If you can participate in animation, it is equivalent to having a stable job for decades-this is It is the "iron rice bowl" that all employees and painters dream of.

"That's fine, I'll let Ning Hai send some people over."

Meng Huo quickly nodded. He stayed in Tokyo for a week and discussed "Detective Conan" in detail with the animation department. Turn around and fly back to Ninghai.

The first thing he did after returning to Ninghai was to call some employees from the animation department to Tokyo to help, and this group also included Tomato and Xi Wenlin. They are the assistants of "Detective Conan" comics, and their understanding of comics is second only to Meng Huo. With them, Meng Huo is more at ease in the production of "Detective Conan".

In this regard, the matter of "Detective Conan" has temporarily come to an end, and the promotion of the animation has also been handed over to Sakura Company.

After completing this, Meng Huo started to work on the most important "Pokemon".

He took the high-speed train to Yanjing, the capital of China. This time, he was invited by Longquan Company to go to the Longquan headquarters to discuss the promotion and pricing of "Pokemon". He only brought three assistants with him.

Yanjing, the title of China's largest city is worthy of its name, the number of people getting off the train is very large, and the station is even more crowded. Even though the pick-up people were standing not far from the exit of the ticket gate, it took Meng Huo a lot of time to find them-but Meng Huo was surprised when he saw the people who came to pick him up.

"Why did Mr. Li come here in person?"

Li Longshan, who was wearing a suit, was actually standing among the pick-up staff. He saw Meng Huo and smiled slightly: "Mr. He Xi is a distinguished guest. How dare we neglect him? By the way, this is also my guest..."

Li Longshan suddenly pointed to a middle-aged man beside him, and introduced: "He is the developer of the handheld device, Mr. Zhou Hu, the regional manager of Datang Corporation."

"Nice to meet you, Mr. He Xi." Zhou Hu shook hands with Meng Huo enthusiastically before leaving, "Our company values ​​the market value of "Pokemon", so this time your cooperation with Longquan, please let us Just make do with it."

Zhou Hu was very straightforward, explaining his intention in just one sentence. Seeing that there was no malice on his face, Meng Huo readily agreed.

In the next two days, Meng Huo had a detailed discussion on "Pokemon" with the two companies in Yanjing, and signed a contract. The final price of "Pokemon" was set at 30 Huaxia coins—Phoenix Company Twenty, Longquan Company ten, Datang Company has another purpose.

"Pokemon" is jointly promoted by the three companies, but all advertising and promotion costs are paid by Longquan and Datang, and Phoenix Company takes advantage of it. (To be continued..)
