Chapter 418: CCTV enters the game

Island -- When Meng Huo introduced the new logo, Zhongxia Company moved faster.

At the beginning of September, the promotion of "Flame Boy" began in a grand manner, and in the report received by Meng Shu, the actions of the Zhongxia company were unprecedentedly large. Posters and advertisements for "Flame Boy" have spread across all second- and third-tier cities, and even more so in first-tier cities – on the TV network, on the streets, and even on the radio.

In Meng Shu's sight, the advertisements of "Flame Boy" are almost pervasive.

On September 2, colleges and universities across China opened one after another, and Meng Huo went to Yanjing to report, and along the way he saw dozens of advertisements for "Flame Boy". In the street shops of Suhua and Yanjing, in the corners of the stations, and even in the newspapers distributed in the high-speed trains, you can find the shadow of "Flame Boy".

At Yenching University, next to the gate of the school is a temporary student point to guide new students, and Meng Yu didn't expect that even these student points were hung with "Flame Boy" promotional posters.

"Damn, they're really willing to spend money!" Meng Huo scolded in a low voice, the advertising scale of Zhongxia Company is too terrifying, if the Huaxia Film and Television Festival comes up with a 'Advertising Quantity Award', it must be "Flame Boy", this advertising fee is enough for Meng Huo to make a new animation.

However, promoting on campus is an affordable way to promote, and Meng Huo is doing similar things.

From the first day, Phoenix Company launched an advertising campaign in Suhua University Town that lasted for half a month, and this expenditure was not small. However, instead of promoting Madoka Magi, they advertise Manga Island, which has grown over the past six months, and the first few months of enrollment in the college town are the golden period for new students.

However, this matter can be put aside for the time being. Meng Shu came to Yenching to attend the opening ceremony. He has a great reputation. He was invited to speak at the opening ceremony by Yenching University and Huaxia Conservatory of Music at the same time.

"Young master, young master...... There are a lot of people, so let's go in early. ”

Standing at the gate of Yenching University for a while, the bodyguard urged Meng Huo. This is a burly middle-aged bodyguard, selected by the old lady of the Meng family for Meng Yu, whose name is Nangong Bo.

"Okay."

Meng Shu pressed his hat and started walking towards the campus.

The campus roads of Yenching University were filled with new students who came to report and the family members who escorted them, and there was an active and joyful atmosphere everywhere, and these energetic college students made Meng Huo feel a little envious. Especially when he saw them taking pictures with their families, he wanted to bring Li Qin over to join in the fun.

But that was impossible, and when he took off the sunglasses and hat he was wearing now, he couldn't stand here and take pictures as naturally as his peers - because he would definitely be watched. Being famous comes at a price, and it is difficult for Meng Huo to blend in with the crowd, but he is used to it.

"Young Master, this way!" Nangong Bo guided Meng Huo in the direction of progress, he was very dedicated, Meng Huo had never seen him make a move, but he could see that this was a super powerful practitioner.

Like now. The school is crowded with people, and other people will touch each other from time to time. However, Nangong Bo inserted it before others approached Meng Shu, and kept Meng Shu at a safe enough distance from others from beginning to end, he did it very naturally, and Meng Shu didn't notice anything abnormal at all.

He completed the reporting formalities and then met with Xing Boxiang, the president of Yenching University.

"The opening ceremony starts in the evening, and before that, I want Teacher He Xi to meet two people." Xing Boxiang suddenly sent an invitation to Meng Huo, Meng Huo didn't like others to arrange a meeting for him casually, but he felt that Xing Boxiang should not be the kind of person who would make meaningless arrangements, so he followed.

On the way, Xing Boxiang asked about the situation of Meng Huo's other two schools.

"I asked someone to help me report to Suhua University, and I will come to the Huaxia Conservatory of Music in the afternoon." Meng replied: "Their opening ceremony started at seven o'clock, and I appeared at half past seven and gave a speech for half an hour...... Come here after that, Principal, how about the presentation here around nine o'clock? ”

Meng Huo has been busy making "Madoka Magical Girl" recently, he doesn't have time to hang out, and the university report has two days, but he wants to solve everything in one day and go back to work early.

Xing Boxiang nodded slightly, it was already late at nine o'clock, but the opening ceremony ended at ten o'clock.

"No problem." After she finished speaking, she smiled and said, "Your schedule is really full, but it's good that they are here now...... Otherwise, I'll do it in vain. ”

She said that they were the ones who wanted to see Meng Shu today, and Meng Shu was very curious about the identity of the other party, but Xing Boxiang only replied to him with the ** words of 'You'll know later'. This meeting was only a matter of a few minutes, and Xing Boxiang took Meng Shu to a reception room, where two men were seated.

"Hello, what a pity teacher!" When the leading man saw them coming in, he immediately got up and shook hands with Meng Huo, and said with a smile: "This is not the first time we have met, do you remember me?"

Of course, Meng Shu remembered that he had a relationship with this man not long ago, when he participated in the focus interview, but the show was in a hurry that night, and the two did not have much contact - even so, Meng Shu did not forget his identity.

"Director Lu, right?" He asked.

Lu Xiang, the director of Huaxia CCTV, nodded: "What a pity that the teacher has a good memory." ”

However, he was not too surprised, Lu Xiang's physiognomy was not outstanding, but his position was loud. 'CCTV director', this position can make many people who see him firmly remember him.

"Let me introduce you, this is Ji Wu from our TV station." Lu Xiang introduced another strange man to Meng Huo: "He is the new leader of our CCTV animation team. ”

Meng Shu's heart moved, he seemed to have guessed something.

"Hello...... What a pity for the teacher. Before Ji Wu left, he stretched out his hand and said with a smile: "It's a pleasure to meet you, the director and I came this time to discuss with you about "Madoka Magical Girl", ......"

The world is changing really fast, and these two unexpected guests appeared at Yenching University, and they brought Meng Shu a new request for cooperation - after the heavy blow two months ago, CCTV decided to restart the animation department, and the new animators learned the lessons of the past, and this time they came to Meng Shu, Ji Wu was hoping to get the premiere rights of "Madoka Magical Girl".

Ninghai TV obtained "Flame Boy", and CCTV asked Meng for "Magical Girl Madoka", the situation is just the opposite of two years ago.

Two years ago, CCTV rejected "Pokemon" and chose "Cat and Mouse Couple", Meng Shu put "Pokemon" in a weak position Ninghai TV, but "Cat and Mouse Couple" failed, and Ninghai TV relied on "Pokemon" to become the overlord with the largest number of viewers in Chinese animation.

Two years later, as long as Meng agreed to CCTV's request for cooperation, he would return to the starting point of that year. The weak CCTV animation and the strong Ninghai animation, what a pity to face off again with Zhongxia, this time the role reversal and the difference between things and people will definitely attract the attention of many media.

"Will he say yes?"

Xing Boxiang, the president of Yenching University, watched the conversation between the two parties, and as the conversation continued, the answer gradually tended to be affirmative.

"I promised."

Meng Shu nodded, the current CCTV animation is not the previous CCTV animation, and there is no reason for the grievances to continue.

And he couldn't resist the conditions given by CCTV, they bought out the exclusive premiere rights of "Madoka Magical Girl" at a price of 3 million per episode, and promised to provide the greatest advertising and publicity support for this animation. Not only that, if Meng promised to hand over "Madoka Magical Girl" to CCTV, CCTV would also buy the broadcast rights of "Pokemon", "Gundam Seed" and "Detective Conan" at a price of 500,000 per episode.

The premieres of the last three animations have passed, and the price of 500,000 is very tempting. And Meng Wei values the influence of CCTV, although on the surface its animation ratings are not as good as Ninghai TV, but CCTV has a deep heritage after all, and the potential audience is much more than Ninghai TV, and the influence is also the largest.

If Phoenix's animation is collectively broadcast on CCTV, coupled with publicity and promotion, there may still be 'Phoenix fever' and 'What a pity to be hot'.

Meng Shu is not stupid, so he will not refuse such a pie in the sky.

After he agreed, CCTV directors Lu Xiang and Ji Wu were also overjoyed, and the two grabbed Meng Huo and immediately went out to invite them to dinner.

CCTV animation was discredited in the last incident, and this cooperation with Phoenix is a huge benefit to both parties. Lu Xiang's idea is very simple, since the animation team was ruined because of the framing of He Xi, as long as they cooperate with He Xi, the new animation department can show a good image to the outside world.

This kind of thing is not without precedent, and cartoonist mach is one of them, he shook hands with He Xi, and his popularity is even stronger now than it was back then.

So the next day, when Meng Shu returned to Comic Island, he also brought a few people from the CCTV animation team, and Phoenix Company and CCTV Animation quickly signed a cooperation agreement, and then announced it to the outside world.

As soon as the news was announced, the media were dumbfounded. A while ago, Zhongxia Company and Ninghai TV just walked together, and they didn't react to what was going on, and now Phoenix Company suddenly announced that it would cooperate with CCTV.

"Friends become enemies, and enemies become friends...... The comic book industry is really changing, just as exciting as the annual drama! ”

Many people can't help but sigh, but at the same time, they find that there are two roles in the previous events that have not changed - Phoenix Company and Zhongxia Company, these two companies have been rivals from beginning to end, and they have never really reconciled, "Madoka Magical Girl" and "Flame Boy" are their new round of battlefields.

The two animations have not yet been launched, but the confrontation has already come out nakedly. (To be continued......)
