March 1, Phoenix Building

Xu Jing looked down through the laminated glass wall to see the street crowded with people and traffic, which was the same scene as usual.

In the past, every comic that came out would cause a frenzy, and people could be seen reading comics on the street or in bookstores to a greater or lesser extent. And this time, the scene after the broadcast of "Pokemon" is very bland, as if you can't see its effect.

If it weren't for the newspaper on the table telling Xu Jing when the animation was broadcast and how lively Ninghai was everywhere, maybe he would have thought that this animation had failed. The difference between anime and manga is here, and when the anime data is not released, it is difficult to judge whether it is successful or not from the social scene.

"No, it could be that I'm out of the crowd......"

Xu Jing laughed at himself when he thought about it, "Pokemon" is undoubtedly a great success, but he didn't live in the crowd, if he went for a walk, grocery shopping, and took the bus and subway as an ordinary old man, he should be able to hear a lot of people talking about this animation.

Breaking away from the crowd, this is a person's successful performance, Xu Jing has worked hard for most of his life, he has long been unable to find the feeling of groping at the bottom of the society, and his body cannot support that state of life.

If he could, Xu Jing would like to hope that he would always be able to maintain his current life and status.

But this kind of thing is impossible to continue, after the broadcast of "Pokemon" last night, overnight, many things have changed unconsciously, and today's world is completely different from the world world a day ago.

Xu Jing's eyes turned to the door of the Phoenix Building, where a bright red Porsche stopped, and two teenagers, a man and a woman, stepped out of the car. Xu Jing didn't pay attention to the girl, he stared at the boy. Complicated thoughts.

"Meng Shu, how can I keep you in Phoenix?"

Today is the day when Phoenix Company starts work. The editorial department is not fully open yet, but all the people in the animation production department are here. The production of Pokemon is urgent, and no one dares to be lazy.

Meng Shu took Shen Jie into the building.

"Hello teacher......"

"Good morning, teacher......"

The people I met on the road greeted Meng Huo with respect, and now the people in the whole company know what the head of the animation production department is sorry for, so they naturally seem extremely enthusiastic. In comparison, the stunning Shen Jie seems to have been forgotten, which makes Shen Jie feel very novel, she will be noticed by others wherever she goes, but walking by Meng Shu's side. But it has become a green leaf completely.

"Good morning."

Meng Shu responded to the greetings with a smile and only recovered when he walked to the office.

"What a pity for the teacher."

In the office, Li Hua and Zhong Yue had been waiting for Meng Huo for a long time, and when they saw him come in, the two stood up and said separately: "Good news, the animation ratings of "Pokemon" are very high! ”

"What a pity, teacher, we can wait for other TV stations to come to the door!"

The faces of both of them were excited, and Meng Shu noticed what they said: "Have the ratings come out?" ”

"No, not yet." Li Hua smiled: "But we have people we know at the TV station. He told us that Pokemon has at least 15% of the ratings!"

“15%？”

Meng Shu frowned slightly, the ratings of "Cat and Mouse Couple" seem to be 34%, and "Pokemon" still has a long way to go. But it doesn't matter, after all, it's only been one episode.

"Li Hua. You take Shen Jie down. Meng Shu said: "She promised to continue to be a voice actor, you find some people to teach her." ”

Shen Jie studied dubbing for a while before the Chinese New Year, but wants to become a professional voice actor. She also had to go through more professional guidance.

"Okay." Li Hua nodded, and then left with Shen Jie. Shen Jie also said goodbye to Meng Shu before leaving.

"Where's He Qian?" After the two women left, Meng asked Zhong Yue: "Didn't you say that she wanted to come to work in the company?" ”

He didn't see He Qian beside Li Hua and Zhong Yue. It feels weird.

"Not that early." Zhong Yue smiled bitterly: "She has just been discharged from the hospital and has to rest for a while, and we will bring her back after a while." ”

"Then let her rest a little longer." Meng nodded his head, thinking that this was fine.

"What a pity, teacher, this is today's worksheet......" Then, Zhong Yue took out a worksheet, and the two of them began to work.

It was a very busy day, Shen Jie stayed in the dubbing room separated by transparent glass, and she could always see Meng Shu walking outside. Some of the adults followed him in the ass, holding information and images and talking incessantly, and the adults looked very frustrated whenever Meng was pointed out something was wrong.

"It's amazing......"

Shen Jie was dumbfounded, and the dubbing was out of tune a few times.

However, Meng Huo is really busy, just came back from the Chinese New Year, many painters and employees can't find the state, and mistakes are everywhere in the work. Meng Huo wanted to check the situation of various departments, as well as hold meetings to study, and even at noon, when he finally had a break, the Chinese music boy of Ninghai TV Station came.

"What is he doing here?"

Strange in his heart, Meng Shu still found time to meet him.

The purpose of Guole Tong's visit to Phoenix is to fight for more broadcast rights to "Pokemon", and Ninghai TV wants an exclusive premiere of this animation, a week ahead of other local TV stations, and on the basis of the existing broadcast, a rebroadcast on Wednesday afternoon.

After a series of bargaining, Ninghai TV gave a price of 1 million per episode. This number surprised Meng Shu, the TV station was so generous, he agreed with a single decision.

Immediately, Meng Huo announced the news to the important members of the animation production department.

"1 million!"

"Oh my God, that's too high!"

Everyone was stunned by this amount, the broadcast fee of 1 million per episode, Ninghai TV alone filled up the production cost of "Pokemon", not only filled, but even achieved several times the income, which was unimaginable when they were still Huayue Animation Studio.

"Animation is still ...... important content"

"Fortunately, the current leader is Teacher He Xi, not that Li Tianhui......"

"* groove, we will be developed in the future!"

Many people think like this, their hearts are stacked, their eyes are shining, as if they see wages rising rapidly.

"In the future, the production cost of each episode of animation will be increased to 400,000." Meng Huo looked at the excited faces and said with a smile: "You do a good job of this animation, and you will definitely increase your salary in the future." ”

He knew what these people were thinking, and simply made a promise.

"Long live the teacher!"

"Team Leader, I love you!"

The enthusiasm of the backbone of the animation production department immediately came up, and after going to work in the afternoon, the news quietly spread to the ears of others, and the entire animation production department was boiling, and the work efficiency increased greatly.

Meng Shu watched the progress, and in two days, the second episode of "Pokemon" will be released.

In the afternoon, when she was about to get off work, Alice found Meng Shu: "My dad wants to see you." ”

"Okay."

Meng Shu felt that it was a matter of a new theme, so he put down his work.

"I read that new comic of yours today." On the elevator, Alice said, "The story is very good, the pacing is good, I like the picture when Saber appears, if only I could draw it more beautifully." ”

She looked at Meng Shu tentatively, and Meng Huo guessed that she wanted to paint that kind of very beautiful picture herself.

"Fate/Staynight", this is a story about a group of people who fight to snatch a holy grail that can fulfill their wishes, and saber is a very important character in it, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it can even be said that it is a heroine.

Saber is a heroic spirit summoned by the male protagonist, and the picture of her appearance is of course important, and Alice's request is not too much at all.

"It's good."

Meng Shu agreed very simply.

"Also, I always have a strange feeling when I read this comic, just in case, I want to ask you first, those heroic spirits ......" Alice wanted to say something, but the elevator clanged, and she had to stop the conversation: "Let's ask this question later, you go to see my dad first." ”

Meng Shu nodded and walked out of the elevator and walked into Xu Jing's office with Alice.

As always, his office was filled with the smell of tea, and Meng Shu had studied with Xu Jing here for a while, and he was already very familiar with this smell.

"Here you are, Alice, you sit first." After Xu Jing asked his daughter to sit down, he smiled at Meng Shu and said, "Meng Shu, you help us make tea, I haven't drunk your tea for a while." ”

"Okay."

Meng Shu nodded slightly, and skillfully went to get the tea.

His attitude made Xu Jing very satisfied, then shook his head, and sat down on the sofa opposite Alice with a pile of materials. Xu Jing put the information on the small table, which was the information of "Oriental Fantasy Township" that Alice gave him during the day and has now finished reading.

"Is this subject okay?"

Meng Shu made the tea, brought it to the table, and asked carefully.

"Well, that's an interesting subject." Xu Jing picked up the teacup and took a few sips, and exclaimed: "You are not rusty in making tea, do you also drink tea at home?" ”

"This ......" Meng Shu was stunned, then shook his head and said, "I don't drink tea at home." ”

In his opinion, tea and water are not much different.

"How can you do it without drinking! Tea is the essence of Chinese culture, and it doesn't hurt you to drink more tea! Xu Jing glared, he was a standard tea fan and wanted to promote his tea philosophy at every opportunity.

However, Meng Shu had long been accustomed to hearing it, and his left ear went in and his right ear flew out.

Xu Jing talked about the benefits of drinking tea for a few minutes, and finally changed the topic back.

"It's an interesting subject." "But it's too low to be used by the company's cartoonists," he says, "and I can't just let the company's cartoonists draw ......"

This answer was the same as Alice's, Meng Shu was a little disappointed, but after Xu Jing said that he couldn't, the topic suddenly changed.

"Meng Huo, the company wants to hold a readers' meeting with cartoonists, what do you think, this "Oriental Fantasy Township"...... You can let it out at the party. (To be continued......)
