Although they had long expected that they would not be able to stop it, Meng Shu and Alice never expected that the speed of Zhongxia Company would be so fast-they held a press conference on Friday to announce the news.

As soon as the news of "Sherlock" came out, the entire animation circle was shocked.

"This is for Phoenix, right?"

"Damn, this trick is amazing! No wonder others say that Dong Ding loves to play Tai Chi, this trick is really good to do! ”

"Detective animation! How could I not have thought of it! ”

Everyone was surprised and envious, they were all insiders, and the purpose of Zhongxia Company was so obvious that they could understand it at a glance. But envy can't be helped, if you want to snatch the audience after the end of "Detective Conan", it is impossible to do it with an average quality detective animation, and only "Sherlock" has a greater chance.

And it is going to premiere on Ninghai TV, which can only be done by Zhongxia Company.

"Phoenix is in big trouble, how will they deal with this?"

This problem has not only attracted attention in the animation circle, media reporters also turned their attention at the first time, the company held a press conference in mid-summer on Friday, Saturday and Sunday are not working hours, Ninghai's Phoenix Building still gathered a lot of reporters, and on the comic island, there are also people who have been guarding the gate, almost making Meng Yu unable to get out of the building.

He attended a meeting jointly conducted by the senior managers of the three regions in the video conference room, whether it was Suhua, Ninghai or Tokyo, at this moment all the senior managers were angry, as long as they thought that the audience of "Detective Conan" would be taken away by Zhongxia Company, they wanted to catch Zhongxia and beat him hard.

"Despicable! Unexpectedly, they actually took out "Sherlock", and the adaptation of this work was changed again and again. Lost twice in a row to Mr. He Xi. How can there still be a face to come out! ”

"And it is aimed at our dead end. Just when "Detective Conan" is about to end, I wonder if they are deliberately waiting for this opportunity! ”

"Hell, what a pity, teacher, let's just not finish the animation!"

The sudden accident made everyone feel tricky, but in addition to the tricky, they didn't have a good coping strategy for a while, and the only way they could think of it was to continue "Detective Conan" and not let it end lightly - that's all. Only then will Phoenix Company be able to keep their audience group.

But this approach is not good, Phoenix announced the end a month in advance, and the sudden anti-destruction is a big disadvantage.

"No! We can't go back on our word, the operation of the company is not a child's play! Alice, who was sitting next to Meng Shu, strongly retorted: "Besides, sooner or later it will come to that point, if "Detective Conan" continues to premiere on Ninghai TV, the popularity attracted will eventually belong to them, the long pain is better than the short pain, it must end now!" ”

Alice is right, even if "Detective Conan" doesn't end now, it will face the same situation in the future. Because Phoenix Company can't keep it on Ninghai TV for many years.

"And if Detective Conan doesn't end, what about Mobile Suit Gundam 00?"

Phoenix has only three animation divisions. It is unlikely that a new animation department will be acquired in a short period of time, and it will be very difficult to achieve a high-standard artist group for Mobile Suit Gundam 00, and Meng Xu does not have the energy to cultivate a Gundam group in a short period of time.

It can be said that as long as the animation of "Detective Conan" does not end, Gundam will not be able to continue to produce zuò, and it is not the sentence "end the promise" that Phoenix has broken its promise, but several contents that have been announced, and it will even have a huge blow to the two partner TV stations.

They can't break their word!

"But is that all?" Tokyo, Eiji Takashima had an angry face, "Detective Conan" was made by Sakura Company, and they naturally felt unfair: "That's an audience that we have cultivated from scratch for several years, and this time it was snatched away by them, and it will be difficult to snatch it back in the future!" ”

"That's right, half a year is enough time to change a lot of things."

Others echoed one after another, and half a year seems like a short time, but it's a long time for an anime. If "Sherlock" is really broadcast for half a year, it can completely digest and absorb a large part of the audience during this time, which will not be good for the rebroadcast of "Detective Conan" in the future.

The animation is not over, and it is not possible to continue broadcasting, and at the video conference, everyone was divided into two factions and had a fierce quarrel. But after half an hour, they still didn't quarrel and came to a conclusion, and at this time, Xu Jing, who had not spoken, spoke: "Be quiet!" ”

He said this first, and the quarrel in the meeting stopped abruptly, and then, Xu Jing looked at Meng Shu, who had not spoken, and asked, "In addition to "Detective Conan", can you make any short detective animations?" ”

Meng Shu frowned slightly: "What do you mean?" ”

"For the sake of today, we are not right to advance or retreat." Xu Jing shook his head and said, "The only thing that can be done is to fight for it, half a year is too long, but if it is more than two months, it will be no problem - as long as you launch a new short detective animation in two months, you must be able to keep the audience as much as possible." ”

Meng Shu's mind lit up and understood what Xu Jing meant.

"Do you mean that after "Light Girl", a new detective animation will be launched by Manga Island to reduce the influence of "Sherlock" as much as possible, and if it is a short animation that has been broadcast for three months, "Detective Conan" can be directly picked up after the end?"

Other people's eyes lit up, too, and that's a good idea.

Although it can't completely solve the problem, it has reduced the loss to the greatest extent, as long as Phoenix Company retains some of the audience, it will not be distanced by Zhongxia Company, and "Sherlock" will definitely not become an animation that can be compared to "Detective Conan".

"yes, that's what I meant." Xu Jing nodded, then looked at Meng Shu with some concern, and said: "But this puts the most pressure on you, "Sherlock" is a very good work anyway, and the reason why we are nervous is precisely because it is good enough to absorb the popularity of "Detective Conan". ”

"Are you sure you can match it with an original detective anime that doesn't have a popular base?"

Meng Shu was stunned, the animation that can be compared to "Sherlock", and it is still a short story, to be honest, he doesn't seem to have it in his memory. And wait until the end of "Light Girl" to launch a new animation, although it is not a pity for the influence of this name, but at that time, the audience of "Detective Conan" has already been attracted and diluted by "Sherlock", and it is very difficult to defeat it.
