Big Manga

As a cartoonist, Meng Huo is very interested in fan exhibitions.

However, after strolling around on the grass, he was suddenly a little disappointed. The drawing skills of these fan artists are not bad, but after looking around, he found that the comics are basically selling meat or even over the top. tell a story.

But if they could tell a good story, these fanartists might have made their debut long ago.

When the editors are looking for potential cartoonists, they obviously focus on 'drawing skills'. As for whether the content exceeds the standard, they don't mind much. In this kind of informal exhibition, comics that are not suitable for children are more attractive to tourists.

In fact, this doujinshi exhibition was still lively. When Meng Huo and the others stayed for a while and left, many tourists had already gathered here to buy doujinshi. Among these tourists were men and women, of different ages.

Meng Huo thought about whether it was necessary to ban it, but finally gave up. This time the fan exhibition has its own way, and those painters are free. However, when he holds similar events in the future, it is still necessary to improve the review standards of his works.

Back at Manga Island, the carnival has already begun.

The line outside the Phoenix Pavilion was still very long. The first group of people had already entered in the morning, but the line length was about the same as before. The tourists waited patiently, but Meng Huo simply gave up when he saw this situation.

He didn't go to the cartoonist's signing party, nor did he go to the amusement park. Meng Huo just took Liu Yi and the others to eat, drink, play various games, and then watch some performances in the comic island. They had a good time.

Since Manga Island opened, Meng Huo has never seriously played here. The island was more interesting than he had thought. The comic atmosphere is very strong. He had never been to Akihabara in his previous life, but he felt that Manga Island would not lose to Akihabara if it continued to develop.

The shopping malls, theaters, and shopping here are well integrated with comics in all aspects. Many shops have distinctive styles. "Qing Yin Girl" is an animation that was only broadcast this year, but "Qing Yin Girl" can already be seen on the manga island. Girls" theme shop.

Not to mention the previous works, but the biggest highlight of this year is "5 Centimeters per Second". The various themed stores of this work even converged into a separate area of ​​Comics Island, attracting the attention of many tourists.

And "Mobile Suit Gundam 00" has just aired, and you can also see new body models in the Gundam store in Manga Island. These models have attracted many Gundam enthusiasts to watch there. Some bodies have not yet appeared in the animation. Some reporters Also kept taking pictures.

These things are the highlights of Manga Island. In fact, it is more important for tourists to like Manga Island than Carnival. After all, Carnival is just a tool to promote Manga Island.

It wasn't long before Phoenix Company moved to this small island, but Meng Huo was very happy to see the development of Manga Island today.

He succeeded. This place is already on the right track, as long as there are no major accidents in the future. It is only a matter of time before Manga Island becomes a mecca for the manga world - there is no place outside that can successfully integrate manga elements and commerce.

"Zhou Qian is really a talent..."

Meng Huo feels like he has found a treasure. This year, Manga Island is mainly planned by Zhou Qian. She is only the person in charge of the surrounding area in name, but in fact, she is responsible for contacting the business community of Manga Island, developing new products, and making various The derivatives developed by animation are more down-to-earth.

Manga Island can be compared to a 'base area', many new products will be sold here first, to test its success. Only when it succeeds will it expand outwards, so the surroundings of Manga Island are the most complete and the most innovative, especially during the carnival, there are a lot of things that the outside world does not have.

These new things are the most eye-catching things for tourists. Almost every tourist on the street will have new things to buy. The cheap ones include cards, fans, mobile phone ornaments, etc., and the expensive ones include Gunpla models, exquisite figures, and out-of-print items. Gift bags, etc., and some men who accompany their girlfriends have their hands full of things.

Liu Yun and the others also bought some cheap accessories. Meng Huo was not interested in the accessories. He wanted to give them some gifts, but they refused. After playing for a long time, several young people were a little tired. They bought drinks and rested on the benches by the street.

"Where are we going next? There are people everywhere, I'm a little tired..."

Li Yu rubbed his legs and asked.

"There is still an hour and a half for dinner, so I won't go shopping during this period." Meng Huo replied, he was the least tired of them, which surprised others, they thought that Meng Huo, who had been painting for a long time, was Physical strength is worse than them!

"Then what are we doing now?" Han Xuan looked at Meng Huo: "Looking for a place to read comics?" Although they didn't buy doujinshi, there are several comic shops and bookstores in Manga Island, and they sell all kinds of comics. Some comics are going to be read during the break time.

"I do whatever I want."

Meng Huo smiled. He originally wanted to go to the amusement park, but seeing the physical strength of these friends, let it go.

"I can do whatever I want."

"casual."

Both Li Yu and Liu Yun nodded.

They looked at Liu Yi. Liu Yi was holding the carnival schedule announced by Phoenix Company yesterday. There were two next events that caught his attention. It's a girl, and he really wants to see it.

But with three girls by his side, Liu Yi had no choice but to give up this idea, and turned to the second activity.

"Did you forget that it's the new game's press conference? Why don't we go and see it?" Liu Yi asked. Liu Yun and the three of them were taken aback for a moment, and then realized one after another that He Xi's new game's press conference was indeed coming.

"Idiot, why didn't you say it earlier!"

"I played crazy just now, I almost forgot about it, I'm going to attend the new game launch event!"

"Meng Huo, why didn't you remind me!?"

Liu Yun looked at Meng Huo angrily. Among the four, she was the only one who could treat Meng Huo with such an expression. Although the other three people were familiar with Meng Huo, they didn't dare to treat him with such expressions at all.

Don't dare Meng Huo like Liu Yun's temperament very much, which reminds him that Liu Yun's attitude towards him has not changed because of time and identity, and this is the reason why Liu Yun can still maintain close contact with Shen Jie.

"There's nothing to look forward to about that new game." Meng Huo took his time and said with a smile, "It doesn't matter whether you watch the press conference or not."

This game is the one he cares about the least. Apart from participating in the planning and script production in the early stage of production, most of the work is done by the game department itself. The release of the game will also be in charge of He Qian, Meng Huo did not interfere.

This kind of phenomenon had never happened before. Liu Yi and the others looked at each other a few times and were a little surprised when they heard Meng Huo's answer.

"What game is that?"

It's clearly He Xi's game, but He Xi doesn't seem to care at all, which is very confusing.

"It's nothing." Meng Huo replied flatly, "It's just "Pokemon 2"..."

The scene suddenly fell silent. The reason why Meng Huo didn't care about "Pokemon 2" was because it was the successor of "Pokemon 1", so it couldn't be said to be a completely new game. "Pokemon" is a series of games that has been maintained for decades in the previous life. There are great similarities between each version, but the elves that can be captured are different.

The same is true for "Pokemon 2" this time. Its general framework is the same as "Pokemon 1", adding some additional playable elements, and then changing a new batch of elves. The biggest project is the setting of new sprites, but this part of the project can get information from "Pixies".

"Pocket Monsters" is broadcasting the second map plot, and the elves in this area are the source of elves in "Pokemon 2". When the game production department was making this game, it just had to get the materials directly from Ning Hai. Meng Huo spent the least amount of energy on this game among all the games.

The same is true for the future "Pokemon" series. It will launch a new version of the game according to the animation progress of "Pokemon". All Meng Huo has to do is to change some game settings, which is not very troublesome.

So he doesn't care much about Pokemon 2, but...he doesn't care, and everyone else cares a lot!

"Pokemon 2!" Liu Yi was stunned for a moment, then jumped up and shouted: "The new game is "Pokemon 2". Isn't it worth looking forward to? It's my favorite game. You have to go and have a look!?"

He yelled so loudly that all the tourists passing by heard him, and then they all stopped.

"What? Pokemon?"

"Boy? Did you just say the new game is Pokemon 2?"

"Dude, is what you just said true!"

In an instant, they were surrounded by the crowd, Liu Yi's face turned pale, it's over, Meng Huo won't be found, right? The three girls were still in a daze just now, but now they also mentioned it in their hearts and became nervous.

"Yes, it's true." At this time, Meng Huo reacted calmly, and replied with ventriloquism: "Just now I received a text message from a classmate who was watching the game conference. The new game is "Pokemon 2". played."

He counted the time, and now the press conference has started, and there are many demos at the scene, so this is not wrong.

"Fuck! The game press conference is "Pokemon 2"!"

"Haha, the second part of "Pokemon" is out, this is too unexpected! I thought it was another text adventure game! "Pokemon" is super fun, you must go and see it!"

"Let's go, don't worry about other things, let's watch the game first!"

There was a commotion around Meng Huo. When the five people surrounded by tourists heard that the new game was "Pokemon 2", they were as excited as if they had been pumped with chicken blood. The impulsive tourists spread their legs and went to the press conference. Run to the scene.

"Pokemon", which is He Xi's best-selling and most successful game so far, Meng Huo has little interest in its second game, but others are different.

Whether it is for tourists or for media people, "Pokemon 2" is destined to attract more attention than new text adventure games. (To be continued..)
