"Ah~ow!"

Xiangjiang, Jiang Tianshi suddenly sneezed.

"What's wrong with you?"

The young man who walked into the office asked, this young man is handsome, and his face is eight points similar to Jiang Tianshi, in fact, they are brothers. The young man is Jiang Tianen, the eldest young master of the Jiang family, the heir of the family, although he is the heir, he has a good relationship with his younger brother Jiang Tianshi, and now he can make some jokes:

"Does this comic still have the function of making people sneeze?"

"Don't be kidding, brother......" Jiang Tianshi touched his nose, then put the cartoon on the table, and said: "I guess which beauty is missing me, by the way, you come to me to mean that the investigation has a result, right......?"

"Yes." Jiang Tianen reached out and threw a report over, then sat on the sand, lit a cigar and said, "I checked it for you, why don't you really plan to launch an animated movie." ”

He took a drag on his cigar and shook his head.

"Very few people know about it, but they can't hide it from me...... You're happy this time, why don't you throw yourself into the net. ”

Jiang Tianshi flipped through the report in his hand, with a smile on his mouth: "He even came out with animation, I knew that there would be an animated movie sooner or later, I have been waiting for this day for a long time...... I can't write stories, and comics and animations can't beat him, but I'm better at movies than him, do you know what his movies are? ”

"I don't know." Jiang Tianen spit out the smoke ring and said: "It's a pity that he only told others that he wanted to make an animated movie, and didn't leak anything, but the informant said that the biggest possibility was his previous works." ”

"Previous works ...... "Five Centimeters in Second"?" Jiang Tianshi narrowed his eyes slightly: "That's a strong enemy." ”

"Come on, with me behind you, how can you have a strong rival." Jiang Tianen said disapprehantly: "But speaking of it." It's a pity that this person is in the ascendancy. He even dared to do it in Zhongxia at the beginning. It seems that he is a man who is not afraid of difficulties, and he should not miss the opportunity to compete with you this time. ”

"Of course!" Jiang Tianshi smiled slightly: "It's a pity that he has a strong desire to attack, I have studied his experience, he usually looks low-key, but just like other geniuses, he is thirsting for competitors in his heart, as long as the person he considers to be an opponent appears, he will attack fiercely." Mach, Qin Ya and Li Xin were all like this before......"

"This time I made a fuss, and even went to the Spring Festival Gala, he will definitely be interested in me." Jiang Tianshi's eyes flashed with a gleam, and he said confidently: "I want to be the first person to defeat him, and I want him to know that the crown of Huaxia animated films will always be in my bag!" ”

Jiang Tianshi is full of fighting spirit, Jiang Tianen is also very relieved to look at such a younger brother, this younger brother is a very proud person, many years ago he aspired to become a leader in the Chinese comic industry, but he did not graduate yet. Jiang Tianshi was dumbfounded at that time. It also suffered a big blow.

But eventually, he found his way again. Animated movies, Jiang Tianshi should be invincible in this line.

"Why don't you think you can make a movie......?"

Jiang Tianen's only worry is that He Xi will retreat halfway, if He Xi gives up making a movie, Jiang Tianshi may not feel that he is retreating, but will only think that He Xi looks down on him and disdains to challenge him.

"My brother just values it too much."

Jiang Tianen sighed in his heart, he hoped that he could use an animated movie to compete with his younger brother. If this were not the case, if He Xi had left him aside as if he hadn't seen Jiang Tianshi, and had not made a movie for a long time, Jiang Tianshi might have been embarrassed and angry to challenge He Xi's territory - the long-form animation and comic industry.

To be honest, Jiang Tianen didn't want to see that result at all, because the odds of winning were very low. He's an entrepreneur and doesn't like actions with low odds.

At this time, on the high-speed train from Ninghai to Suhua, the topic of animated films continued.

"Speaking of different positioning, why should the teacher's animated film positioning be a plot stream?"

Ye Xiong thought for a while, and then said: "This is indeed your advantage, but what a pity, teacher, the most important thing in movies is not the story, but the skills, popular movies are rarely good stories, they pay more attention to the effect of the skills." The story of "Crown of the Sky" is average, but its screenwriters, special effects, and guidance in all aspects are all top people, although Jiang Tianshi hangs the name of a director, but his talent is only reflected in the picture. ”

"Jiang Tianshi is not a real director, but he is an excellent commander. He found the top film and animation team in China, used the experience and technology of others, and integrated his own painting skills to achieve the ultimate film effect of "Crown of the Sky...... What a pity, teacher, I don't recommend you to make animated movies, because you will definitely not be able to win Jiang Tianshi. ”

Ye Xiong said, and at this time, Alice on the side also spoke.

"Actually, I also investigated this matter, Jiang Tianshi is very ambitious." She said: "He was originally the most favored cartoonist candidate, but because of Meng Yu's appearance, Jiang Tianshi did not become a cartoonist after graduation - he voluntarily gave up this path, according to my investigation, Jiang Tianshi is a very proud person, he is not willing to be subservient." ”

"He wasn't confident that he would beat you in comics, so he chose animated films." Alice sighed and continued: "The family behind him is unfathomable, and he can provide the best financial resources and team to support his career, in terms of animated films, he is far better than you in terms of funds, financial resources, connections, etc., this time the production fund of "Crown of the Firmament" is said to be 200 million Chinese coins, and I, like Editor-in-Chief Ye, will not build yì You to make animated films...... Because you're going to lose. ”

Both of them concluded that Meng Huo would lose, not because they did not believe in Meng Huo.

It's just that animated movies are also movies, and the story of the movie is short, so relatively speaking, the importance of the story is not as important as the shock that the picture and music bring to the audience. With 200 million Huaxia coins of production funds, Meng Huo would definitely not be willing to spend so much on movie effects...... Now known as the highest-cost "Gundam Color ED" in the animation industry, the entire dozens of episodes only have an investment of 100 million Chinese coins, and "Pokemon" is even lower.

One of Jiang Tianshi's films consumes more money than all of Meng Shu's animations. At this stage. It is impossible for Phoenix to provide such a large amount of funding. And even if there is. It is impossible for Meng Shu to use it for animation. If he had 200 million Huaxia coins in his hand that could be used all at once, he could do more than anything else - it wasn't cost-effective to put it on a movie.

"I don't compare with him, is it okay?"

Meng Shu said that Jiang Tianshi's guy is obviously a rich man, although his painting skills are excellent, but the animated movie that he smashed out with money, even if it is very profitable, he didn't take it to heart. He likes animated films that combine stories and comics: "And why do you think that making animated films will run into him? How could such a coincidence happen? ”

"If you don't want to touch it, you will touch it."

Ye Xiong shook his head and said, "What a pity, teacher, it seems that you didn't pay much attention to Jiang Tianshi. ”

Meng Shu nodded, he knew about Jiang Tianshi, but he was not interested in 'Hollywood blockbusters', and of course he wouldn't pay special attention to a man.

"What a pity, teacher, although you don't care, other people can put you and him together." Ye Xiong said: "Both of you are very good at drawing, and now there is a saying in the animation circle that Jiang Tianshi is in charge of the movie and you are in charge of the comics...... A lot of people want to see the two of you compete, and if you launch an animated movie, then the media and reporters will evaluate you and him together. ”

Anime and manga have the same roots. Until now, Huaxia has regarded these two things as the same industry. Meng Huo and Jiang Tianshi's works are different. Now it happens to be in the category of non-interference, but Jiang Tianshitong guò Spring Festival Gala exploded, and now the media world divides him and Meng Huo together. If Meng Huo launches an animated movie, it will be a real genius war in the eyes of others.

The success or loss of animated films determines the evaluation of other people's painting skills of the two, and if Meng Shu loses, the name of the number one cartoonist that has been placed on his head may be transferred to Jiang Tianshi.

"You can't win against him, and if you lose, it will affect the current momentum, why do you still want to make an animated movie?" Ye Xiong said: "It's thankless, you can be invincible if you focus on works that pay more attention to plot and storytelling, such as serialized animation and comics, and Jiang Tianshi doesn't dare to challenge you in these two works." ”

"I agree."

Alice nodded and said, "Meng Shu, now is a critical period for the transformation of Phoenix Company, and maintaining your position will be of great benefit to the company's exhibition...... Animated movies are better to be done later.,Now the company is just divided into three places.,There are also three animation departments.,If you really want to come up with animation.,Then it's okay to launch a serialized animation directly, right? ”

"One Piece", "Detective Conan", "Inuyasha", "Dream Eater", "Ouran High School Male Public Relations Club"...... You still have a bunch of manga that haven't been animated, and readers are waiting for you to do ...... the stars and the moon."

"I agree." Zhou Qian also raised her hand and said, "I also want to watch the animated versions of these comics, why don't you just make an animation, teacher!" ”

"Agreed!" "I also agree, I've been looking forward to the animation of "Detective Conan" since listening to "Time, After, Time"! "Inuyasha is also very good! "Stupid, it's obvious that "One Piece" is more popular! "From the perspective of interests, "Dream Eater" should be animated as soon as possible, so that we can bring more new comics to our company. ”

As soon as they heard the news of the animation, the entire high-speed rail carriage became excited, and the employees expressed their opinions one after another, wanting to adapt their favorite manga into animation.

Meng Shu felt stunned for a while, and when the employees mentioned it like this, he suddenly appeared as if he was ...... Seem...... Maybe a little distracted? Is the current company situation really suitable for new animation works? Or should I digest the previous manga first?

"......," he pondered, "but if you want to serialize the anime now, you don't have enough manpower, right?" ”

Although Phoenix's animation department is divided into three regions, the members of Su Hua and Ninghai's animation department together are only enough to continue serializing "Pokemon", and no one has the manpower to start a long-form serialized animation anymore.

"It's okay, I expected such a thing, and recently I was discussing an acquisition with an animation company." Alice saw that Meng Shu was a little moved, a smile appeared on her face, and said: "That animation company is in Suhua, if we can buy them, our animation number will be enough." ”

Meng Shu was surprised: "When did you do it?" ”

"That's what I thought about during the Chinese New Year." Alice replied: "The company is short of people in restructuring, and it is too difficult to recruit people. I thought, if it doesn't work to merge and absorb some small companies, I really found a suitable company, although it hasn't worked out yet, but I guess they will agree. ”

Meng was pleasantly surprised, this was really an excellent idea, and Alice was really useful. When everyone else was worried about recruitment, she thought of acquisitions.

If the acquisition is successful, then Phoenix can indeed launch a new animation. Several of Detective Conan's comics are popular comics that have cultivated die-hard readers for several years. If the adaptation of animation is successful, they will undoubtedly bring greater benefits to Phoenix than other animations, the direct influence of animation is greater than that of comics, and animation will make comics more popular.

Take "Detective Conan" as an example, its popularity will further rise after animation, which can not only drive the sales of magazines to rise, but also make breakthroughs in the originally stalemate peripheral industries, with peripheral dolls, clothing, and theme stores all appearing, which is also very beneficial to the idea of Phoenix Company to promote the establishment of a comic street in Suhua City.

"Maybe it works......"

Meng Huo began to be moved, although he was a little reluctant to give up the idea of animated films, but to be honest, the main work of Phoenix Company now is to show the comic street in the Suhua area, as long as this area is displayed, Phoenix Company can gradually integrate comic culture into social life, and seize the commanding heights of the future comic enterprise exhibition.

If you use the noun of the previous life, you can think that whoever created the Akihabara of this world will become the leader of ACG culture. Therefore, at this moment, on the road of Menghu, instead of flowering everywhere with ambition, it is better to deepen the charm of existing resources. If you don't deepen the charm of manga, no amount of work will help.

"Do you want to make the previous work popular again?" Meng Shu thought about it, this idea seems to be possible, and with the support of the original book, it is easy to adapt the animation.

"I can think about ...... So, Alice, you go for the acquisition first. After thinking about it a few times, Meng Shu made a decision: "If the acquisition is successful, I will give priority to adapting the animation, if it doesn't succeed, then we can only take out the manpower to make an animated film." ”

Meng Shu felt that this was a choice between the two worlds, but when making this choice, Meng Shu did not consider Jiang Tianshi. Of course he didn't know what the Jiang brothers thought, and even if he knew, Meng Shu wouldn't care, he had his own standards for doing things, so naturally he wouldn't do what those two people expected.
