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

The number of people was much smaller, but it was barely able to maintain the operating expenses of the facility, everyone in the Phoenix Company breathed a sigh of relief, and it was even more worth celebrating that other merchants had confidence in the prospects of the comic island because of the success of the carnival, and several merchants took the initiative to contact Meng Shu to make friends, and the unstable dìng factor on the comic island was eliminated a lot.

However, Carnival is just a 'stimulant' thing, it is impossible to completely change the territory of Comic Island, and in order to expand the business of Comic Island in a long-term and stable way, Phoenix has to go through a long process of publicity and promotion.

Ho's new work is the best way to build popularity, and in April, Meng Shu's plan is to sell Pokemon.

However, this does not mean that he has to do his best to put his mind on "Pokemon", on the contrary, he has other important things to do, and the Phoenix Company after the carnival has several tasks to continue to deal with: one is that the four magazines have entered a critical period of business expansion, which requires a lot of promotion and channel laying, the second is that a group of new merchants have entered the comic island, and the third is the sale of the second volume of "Shana the Burning Eye", and the fourth is ......

All in all, there was a lot of work that needed to be dealt with, and it took Meng a few days to get it done—or rather, to be assigned.

He handed over the magazine to Ye Xiong and others, the merchants of Manga Island to Zhou Qian, the release of the second volume of "Burning Eyes of Shana" to Ning Hai's editorial department, Alice integrated the new animation department and all the things of the voice actors - including the follow-up development of Xia Chuan Zhen and Long Xue and others, and Jose returned to the industry to speed up the completion of "Pokemon".

There were enough assistants for Meng Shu to breathe a sigh of relief, after putting down these businesses. He rushed to the extreme east non-stop to discuss the animation of "Detective Conan" with Sakura Animation.

"Gundam SEED will end in May. It's too late for Detective Conan to prepare......"

On the plane. Meng Huo couldn't help but sigh, if it weren't for his carelessness, he should have been able to prepare the animation of "Detective Conan" earlier.

However, when they arrived in Tokyo and talked with Takashima and his wife, they said something that surprised Meng Shu: "What a pity teacher, "Detective Conan" may be released in May." ”

Meng was taken aback, and it wasn't until Mr. and Mrs. Takashima handed him a thick piece of text that he understood what was going on. It turned out that Sakura Animation had been secretly making the animation schedule of "Detective Conan" ten days ago. This plan was originally used as a tool to persuade Meng Huo, but after Meng Shu promised to hand over "Detective Conan", the plan could be implemented directly.

The schedule has a very full consideration of the difficulty of the animation production of "Detective Conan", thanks to the support of the original comics, "Detective Conan" omits the most responsible story system and plot setting, the difficulty of animation can be said to be greatly reduced, and the production cycle of the start can be reduced by half compared with "Gundam Seed", construction starts in early April, and the first episode can be driven out in mid-May.

"It can be done in more than a month, and it is very fast...... But you also have to take care of the production of "Gundam Seed". Meng Shu paced around the office. Frowning slightly, he said, "There are not enough people, right?" ”

"There's pressure." Takashima nodded: "But the members of the animation team are very active. They were willing to work overtime, and we contacted several outsourcing companies to help......"

For Sakura, it is the biggest blessing of the year to get the animation production rights of "Detective Conan", and the whole company is very excited, and the employees of the animation department are all as excited as if they have been beaten with chicken blood, and even more than eighty percent of them have written a letter of guarantee that they are willing to give up all their vacations from April to May.

It's not surprising that "Detective Conan" is a popular manga, and it is a hot manga with no ending in sight, and if you can participate in the animation, it will be equivalent to having a stable job for decades - this is the 'iron rice bowl' that all employees and artists dream of.

"Okay, I'll ask Ninghai to send some people over."

Meng Shu nodded quickly, he stayed in Tokyo for a week, and after discussing "Detective Conan" with the animation department in great detail, and making sure that the production route of this animation would go according to his own ideas, Meng Shu turned around and flew back to Ninghai.

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

At this point, the matter of "Detective Conan" came to an end for the time being, and the promotion of the animation was also handed over to Sakura.

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

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

Yanjing, the largest city in China, lives up to its name, with a very large number of people getting off the train, and the station is even more crowded. Even though the pick-up and drop-off people were standing not far from the exit of the ticket gate, it took Meng Huo a long time to find them - but Meng Shu was surprised to see the person who came to pick him up.

"Why did Mr. Li come in person?"

Li Longshan, who was wearing a suit, was standing in the middle of the pick-up and drop-off personnel, he saw Meng Huo, and said with a slight smile: "It's a pity that the teacher is a distinguished guest, how dare we slack off, 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 win, Mr. Zhou Hu, the regional manager of Datang Company. ”

"It's a pleasure to meet you, what a pity, teacher." Before Zhou Hu left, he warmly shook hands with Meng Huo and said: "Our company values the market value of "Pokemon" very much, so this time your cooperation with Longquan, please let us make do with it." ”

Zhou Hu was very direct, and explained his intention in just one sentence. Meng Shu saw that there was no malice on his face, so he readily agreed.

In the next two days, Meng Shu had a detailed discussion with the two companies in Yanjing about "Pokemon", and signed a contract, and the final price of "Pokemon" was set at 30 Huaxia coins - Phoenix Company occupied 20, Longquan Company occupied 10, and Datang Company had another purpose.

"Pokemon" was promoted by three companies, but all advertising and promotion expenses were paid by Longquan and Datang, and Phoenix took a big advantage. (To be continued......)
