After the press conference of Zhongxia Company, Meng Huo immediately found the novel of "Flame Boy" to read.

As the saying goes, knowing one's opponent and knowing oneself is invincible in a hundred battles, since Jiang Tianshi and Zhongxia Company have united, of course he has to take a good look at this novel.

The novel is unexpectedly good-looking, and the content is very royal - the so-called royal road here is the subject matter of the work with the highest audience and the most suitable for promotion. "Flame Boy" is a hot-blooded novel, set in a fictional ancient China, but the content is different from the title of the book, the story is not about a boy with flames, but a boy full of fighting spirit like a flame.

This is a novel about martial arts, with a bit of fantasy, a bit like a Xianxia novel in a previous life...... Meng Shu didn't know how to describe it better, but the novel was very good, and he was enthusiastic when he read it. "Flame Boy" is very successful in the creation of characters, which is especially admired by Meng Shu, he read online novels in his previous life, and the character creation is very average, although there are many hot-blooded novels, but it is often easy to forget the characters after reading it.

But "Flame Boy" does not have such limitations, its hot-blooded Cheng dù is not much different from the online novel, and what is even more surprising is that the characters in it are lifelike, and the author's writing skills are also very good.

Meng Huo is sincerely glad that he did not choose to debut from the novel back then, the prosperity of Chinese novels has exceeded his expectations, if he copied those online novels from his previous life, maybe he would not have today's achievement.

"Good natural material."

I have to say that Meng Huo thinks that "Flame Boy" is very suitable for adapting comics, comics should pay great attention to the shaping of characters, and the characters in "Flame Boy" are distinct and the story is interesting. The subject matter is also in line with the context of this world. It's a martial art category that is acceptable to the Chinese public - it's sure to be a hit!

Meng Shu felt the pressure. Although "Madoka Magical Girl" is powerful, strictly speaking, it is still a niche category, and the suitable crowd is not comparable to "Flame Boy". If you can know in advance that the animation Jiang Tianshi chose is this type, Meng Shu will definitely use battle animations like "One Piece" and "Dragon Ball" to fight, this is a fair way to fight, blood to blood, battle to fight!

But there's no way to change your mind now.

Zhongxia Company will release the trailer and other information of "Flame Boy" on August 20, and Meng Huo has guests to meet on the 20th. However, he still sent Ye Xiong to Ninghai to participate in the preview screening of the trailer.

Ye Xiong returned to Ninghai, however, before the test screening, he met a friend.

"Wang Lei, are you also coming to participate in the test screening?"

He greeted the energetic Wang Lei, who was in high spirits, and the editor-in-chief of the newspaper brought a reporter with him, who came to the scene to cover the news.

"yes, I didn't expect you to be here."

Wang Lei was surprised to see Ye Xiong, and then his eyes lit up: "Why do you care about "Flame Boy" very much? ”

He guessed that Ye Xiong's appearance here was instructed by Meng Xu, Ye Xiong smiled bitterly, but Wang Lei had a good relationship with Phoenix Company. Especially after the incident of "Detective Conan" last time, Meng Huo was also impressed by this newspaper. So Ye Xiong didn't want to hide it, and answered frankly.

"It's true that the teacher sent me over, this time "Flame Boy" may be the enemy of our company......" Ye Xiong complained slightly: "Zhongxia Company's trick is powerful, but such a large-cost animation, I'm really not afraid that it will not be effective?" ”

Wang Lei laughed: "Gotcha...... How can they think about the benefits now, curbing your company's momentum is much more important than the benefits! ”

Since entering 2017, Phoenix Company has made frequent moves and occupied people's attention again and again. The first one or two was nothing, but for half a year, everyone's attention was occupied by Phoenix Company, and Zhongxia Company was completely left behind, how could they continue to endure it!

Whether it's a celebrity, an idol, a cartoonist or a comic company, if it can't be shown in front of the world for a long time, its influence will be lower, while on the contrary, a company like Phoenix that has shown its ability for a long time will have more and more influence.

If the momentum of Phoenix Company cannot be curbed, then Zhongxia Company will have to lose without a fight sooner or later. Even if their market value exceeds that of Phoenix, what if the first thing that comes to mind in the world is Phoenix? -- This is the most worrying issue for the future of Zhongxia Company.

They are now launching "Flame Boy" to curb Phoenix's momentum and turn the media's attention to themselves. So far, Phoenix's preliminary work has been quite successful.

Ye Xiong and Wang Lei walked into the venue of the test screening, there were many people participating in the test screening, reporters and cameras filled the venue, and the crowd was extremely noisy, but when the test screening started, the venue quickly became quiet,

The trailer for "Flame Boy" is a one-minute short story that tells the story, characters, and environment briefly, and there is nothing surprising about the trailer, but everyone watched it with their eyes wide open, and after watching the trailer, they were still shocked.

"This is animation? The picture is so good, why do I think it's like a fantasy movie? ”

"Damn, this picture is so delicate and ruthless! I even saw the trembling of the dew falling on the leaves just now, and the music and dubbing are also excellent. They lied to ghosts, I don't think five million is enough! ”

Ye Xiong's heart can't be calm, the luxury of the trailer is no different from the current big-scale zuò movies, the picture is exquisite beyond imagination, just one minute is like a collection of 'selling pictures', 'selling music', and 'selling voice actors'. The trailer shows a fantasy world that is both exquisite and magnificent, allowing the people at the scene to enjoy the double shock of sight and sound.

Million? Even reporters can see that something is wrong, and of course Ye Xiong can see it...... The unit price of this anime is definitely more than three million per episode, and "Flame Boy" is the most exquisite and luxurious animation work of all time!

"How can Madoka Magical Girl surpass Flame Boy!"

Ye Xiong flashed this thought, even though he had always been full of confidence in He Xi, but "Flame Boy" was too luxurious, luxurious enough to exceed Ye Xiong's highest expectations for animation. And such a delicate picture is absolutely impossible to be made by Jiang Tianshi alone, he may be the main painter, but there are other people who are beyond the level of ordinary painters to help him!

Ye Xiong guessed correctly, in the subsequent speech, Zhongxia Company said the name of a group. The core group of artists for Flame Boy is called 'Angels' and consists of ten young people, including Li Xin and Jiang Tianshi, who are among the top seven comics graduates of Yenching University's first cohort class, as well as three other mystery artists.

"Angel - it is the top comic group launched by our company, it will replace He Xi and become the new leader in the Chinese comic industry!" (To be continued......)
