"He doesn't agree?"

Ning Hai, Yang Liang and Guo Letong sat in a cafe and chatted.

"Why didn't you agree? Do you think the money is too little?"

Yang Liang asked in surprise. He was talking about buying the secretary next to Meng Huo. Ninghai TV station offered hundreds of thousands to the secretary to persuade him, but the secretary did not agree.

"No, he didn't dare to speak." Guo Letong sighed and said, "I have contacted Mr. He Xi before, so I can understand the secretary's worries. It is difficult for ordinary people to change Mrs. He Xi's mind. Teacher Xi is aware of it, and he will be unlucky instead!"

"But we have to convince him no matter what." Yang Liang frowned: "Let's add another sum of money, I asked the president, we can subsidize you for a public relations fee, cast a wide net, especially the secretary The person who talks to the two animation departments can't let Teacher He Xi cut two animations in half."

There is nothing in this world that money can't solve. As long as the interests are big enough, there are many people in Phoenix Company who are willing to help persuade He Xi. Regardless of whether He Xi will change his mind or not, keeping the two animations is something that both Ninghai TV Station and Zhongxia Company have to work hard for.

Hundreds of thousands of public relations fees are the broadcast price of an episode of animation, which is nothing compared to the huge audience base and long-term benefits.

Ninghai TV is unwilling to lose two feature-length animations, and Zhongxia Company cannot lose them now. It will take some time for them to convert the animation audience of Ninghai TV Station, and use their own animation to retain more people. If "Detective Conan" and "Pokemon" are gone at once. Not only will the TV station lose a lot, but Zhongxia Company will also lose a lot of potential viewers in vain.

Therefore, for both, animation can be guaranteed. A few small bucks don't matter.

They quickly launched a diplomatic offensive, using various channels to buy core members of the Phoenix Company who could speak, but the effect was minimal—there were not many people who could speak in front of Meng Huo, but There are people like Alice, but there is no way to buy them off.

The matter of "Detective Conan" and "Pokemon" ultimately depends on Meng Huo's choice.

Meng Huo was very troubled, but his trouble was different from others. What troubled him was how to cut off two animations. Then we must use two new animations to maintain the work of the animation department, plus the studio of Manga Island. He might have three new animes ready at the same time...and a new manga.

"Even if it's me, the pressure is too great..."

He sits in the office and sighs, but the animation can’t be cut,

If these two animations are allowed to premiere on Ninghai TV. If it goes on for a long time, it will be the Phoenix Company that will be hurt the most.

Zhongxia has already launched several animations, especially "Flame Boy" which is still in hot serialization. After a long time, the audience watching the animations of Ninghai TV Station will slowly accept the animations of Zhongxia Company, especially the star voice actors performed by Zhongxia The plan will bring results in a few months.

Now that two animations are cut off, Meng Huo can give Ninghai TV a fatal blow without cutting them off. He is equivalent to cultivating audiences for Zhong Xia.

"do you have any good advice?"

He looked up and asked the secretary.

The secretary was startled, her heart was pounding, right? Such an important decision to ask him?

"Vice President, can these two animations be cut off casually?" the secretary asked cautiously.

""Detective Conan" is very simple to cut. It was originally one case at a time, and the development of the main line was very slow." Meng Huo nodded and said: "So this animation can be stopped at any time if you want, and it will be produced after a while The second part. It has no effect on the audience at all."

The secretary's eyes brightened slightly: "But "Pokemon" can't be that simple, can it?"

"Pokemon" is a series, and now it has finished broadcasting Quartz League and Orange League. What is being broadcast is the Chengdu League. The plot of the Chengdu League has just unfolded for less than half a year, and it will take two and a half years until the end. On the surface, it is indeed difficult to cut off.

But this is only on the surface. Although Meng Huo divided the plot into paragraphs when he first produced "Pokemon", he didn't divide the title of the animation. He simply followed the numbers 1, 2... 5, 6 ...arranged like this. This kind of advantage is that the official did not say that it is composed of parts, but composed of episodes.

As long as it is divided by the number of episodes, "Pokemon" can also be broken. Now it has broadcast more than 170 episodes, which is the longest animation in China. Some people on the Internet have long said that it is too long. If Phoenix Company truncates it now and says it is the first one, others will have nothing to say.

""Pokemon" can also be divided." So Meng Huo said: "The division is not a problem, the problem is to make new animations after the division..."

The secretary seized on this point: "The vice president thinks three animations are too many?"

"Of course, there are too many things, and I can't take care of them." Meng Huo nodded, then thought for a while, and suddenly got up and said, "Forget it, I'll take the middle option. It's not good to focus too much on fighting Zhongxia... I will cut one part first, and finish the other part in half a year."

He made a decision, and this decision was not influenced by anyone, it was entirely Meng Huo's own decision. Sakura Company received the news first. After making a phone call with Meng Huo to confirm, Takashima Eiji came to the animation department in person and announced with some regret——

"Due to the adjustment of the company's business, "Detective Conan" will end in June, and there will be four more episodes at the end."

"Detective Conan" was cut off, and in four more episodes, the first part of this animation will be over, and the animation department of Sakura Company will have a new animation project. This animation project has not yet been announced, but He Xi will return to Tokyo in June to approve the project.

Although they had been psychologically prepared, the employees of Sakura Company were still sad after receiving the news. The long-form animation they finally got, many people dream of living on this animation for a lifetime, but it seems that this bowl of rice is not so delicious.

New animation, new job, new position adjustments are destined... But this is not the complete end of "Detective Conan". After the new animation, Sakura Company will take over the production work of "Detective Conan" again. For ninety-five percent of people, it's just a temporary turning point.

But it's not a good thing for the 5% of people who live on their own. If they can't maintain the standard in the new animation, they will probably be kicked out.

After Sakura Company, Phoenix Company in Ninghai also quickly received the news - "The first part of "Pokemon" will end around 200 episodes." , there is still nearly half a year left.

The employees of Ninghai breathed a sigh of relief, there is still half a year left, at least they are much luckier than Sakura Company, and have enough time to prepare. That night, Phoenix announced the end of the two animations on its official website. This indicates that it is inevitable for He Xi to cut off the two animations, and the final arrangement satisfies most people—except the media.

"It's a pity why He Xi didn't become a philanthropist—oh, I'm sorry, I forgot that he was indeed doing charity!" Huaxia Animation News teased: "Knowing that now is the best time to attack opponents, why He Xi still does it?" Leaving the premiere of "Pokemon" for half a year, he is not suitable to be a businessman, he is too soft-hearted!"

In the eyes of these senior media, He Xi's approach was very stupid, because this action gave Ninghai TV and Zhongxia Company an opportunity to take advantage of it. However, in Xu Jing's view, this choice is quite wise. It is too ruthless to withdraw two popular animations at the same time. It will not only hit Ninghai TV, but also offend more people.

Moreover, as China's two popular animations, disappearing at the same time will have a bad impact on Phoenix Company. These two are the pillars of the Phoenix company, and it is good to keep one, both internally and externally. Half a year seems to have given Ning Hai a chance, but it also gave Phoenix Company stability.

Sakura Company will complete the production and broadcast of an animation within half a year. After half a year, "Pokemon" will end, and "Detective Conan" will come back. Has been occupying the top spot, not being taken away.

"Everyone is happy..."

Yang Liang of Zhongxia Company also breathed a sigh of relief, but for Ninghai TV, this is not a happy ending. While things didn't turn out to be the worst, it's still bad news — Detective Conan is going to be gone soon, and Pokemon is gone in half a year.

Guo Letong sat in the office, staring at the three statuettes on the table in a daze.

These three statues are the statues that made Ninghai animation number one, and they are also the fundamental source of their TV station’s disdain for Chinese animation. From left to right are the statue of Conan, the hero of "Detective Conan", and the auspicious sign of "Pokemon". Pikachu, and a sword from "Fire Boy"...

For the three major feature-length popular animations, any TV station won't be afraid of losing the first broadcast rights of one of them. If they get all of them, it will be a matter of time before they become the number one in China. And now, Guo Letong tremblingly took Conan away... Only Pikachu and the sword remained on his desk.

"Half a year... and half a year..." Guo Letong looked at the table in pain. After half a year, Pikachu will also leave his table. If Zhong Xia does not put a new statue on it, the glory of Ninghai TV Station for several years will be lost. It will never return, and the TV station that won the two statues of "Detective Conan" and "Pokemon" will reshape the glory of Ninghai.

"Why things in the world don't always go as planned..." No regrets for success, no regrets for failure—if Phoenix hadn't left Ninghai and Zhongxia hadn't entered, what would the animation industry be like now? Guo Letong clenched his hands: "I really don't want to go to today..."

He really didn't want to confront He Xi, that cartoonist, but he was not yet twenty.

How can a group of middle-aged and elderly people compare with a young person? (to be continued)
