It was not only Meng Shu who paid attention to this matter, but also Ning Hai's two assistants.

Although it wasn't working hours, Tomato and Mach got together to watch the premiere of Sherlock, especially Mach, whose face was complicated since the anime started - because the style of the animated version of Sherlock actually inherited his comic book style, and there was a feeling that the blue was better than the blue.

This new animation of the angel system zuò, a discerning person can see at a glance that the characters and backgrounds in it are from the adapted manga. Although many years have passed, Mach is still a little uncomfortable in his heart, and it took him a lot of energy to adapt the text form of the original novel into a comic form, and the comic image of each character in "Sherlock" was drawn by him little by little.

However, Angel doesn't need this step, they just need to modify and improve it on the basis of his adaptation, and they can do this animation well.

"You've lost a lot of ......" When the animation was broadcast, Tomato turned his head and glanced at Mach, and said: "It's also the image you designed, and they used it directly without notifying you, and it became so beautiful, the audience will say that your comics are not as good as the anime in the future." ”

The animated version of "Sherlock" is quite good, not to mention the all-star lineup of voice actors, high-end atmospheric and high-grade songs, let's just say that the similar characters and picture settings, it is also much better than the comic adaptation, even if readers who like comics watch this animation, they will feel that it is more worthy of the original status than comics.

Tomato can already see the reaction after the broadcast of "Sherlock", and in addition to the praise, many people in the audience will definitely ridicule Mach. Hold the angels higher.

But in fact, there is no comparison between the mach and the angels in this matter. If there is no basis for the adaptation of the mach. Angel's animation wouldn't have been so good - even now, Tomato still thinks Mach's adaptation of Sherlock was a success, it was quite successful, but it just met the wrong opponent.

"If it weren't for the birth of Mr. Hexi, "Sherlock" would have become the most popular comic at that time, right?"

Tomato thought to himself that the biggest change in the history of Chinese comics is what a pity, without him, Mach would have relied on "Sherlock" to become the hottest cartoonist in one fell swoop. And the Phoenix company cannot rise. It may take a few years for the company to be established, and after it is established, they will also support the most popular mach.

In this way, in this kind of change, it is MACH that suffers the most.

But obviously, Mach is much more calm now than in the past, he doesn't know what Tomato is thinking, but he shows his calmness from another thing: "It's okay, the audience can say it if they like it." When Long Teng asked me to adapt Sherlock, I only had the right to adapt. The result of the adaptation does not belong to me......"

He may have had mixed feelings, but he didn't complain about it after all. The angel takes his setting, and Mach chooses to accept it. He's content with his current life, and he's no longer as paranoid as he was when he was younger, and even if Tomato tells him how sorry he hurts, Mach laughs it off.

Tomato knew this, so he didn't say any more.

The two watched the animation quietly, just like Xu Jing in the same city - he was also in the office watching the animation with a guest, whose name was Wang Lei, the editor-in-chief of the newspaper who had a good relationship with Phoenix Company. Wang Lei originally came to interview Xu Jing, but with the broadcast of "Sherlock", they shifted the topic to animation.

"What do you think of this anime?"

Xu Jing asked.

“…… Very good. Wang Lei hesitated for a moment, not knowing whether to tell him honestly, but after thinking for a while, he still said honestly: "I feel that the quality of this animation is not worse than "Flame Boy", or even stronger, and it will be much more successful than we expected." ”

"I saw not only "Detective Conan" in this anime, but also "Light Girl" ......"

Wang Lei saw the shadow of "Light Sound Girl" in "Sherlock", and more specifically, what he saw should be the animation skills of "Light Sound Girl". "Light Girl" is an animation that wins with technology, its story is simple, but the animation of the characters is very prominent, while "Sherlock" has a similar feeling, and the character image in "Flame Boy" is more charismatic.

There is no doubt that angels are learning what is a pity - although after the broadcast of "Light Sound Girl", many experts speculated that it would bring a boom in imitation and progress of animation technology, but Wang Lei did not expect that the first to show this progress was actually the most dangerous Zhongxia company for Phoenix Company.

Excellent painters and angel groups, a large number of star voice actors, music created by masters, and now coupled with the matter of 'learning from him', Wang Lei is a little worried - if this continues, the animation quality of Zhongxia Company will be greatly improved, and maybe there will soon be capital to fight for quality with Phoenix Company.

"You're pretty sharp-eyed!" Xu Jing smiled.

"Aren't you nervous?"

Wang Lei looked at Xu Jing in surprise, how could he not seem to be worried about this matter at all.

"Meng Huo, that kid is not nervous, what am I nervous about?" Xu Jing smiled: "We look at it so strictly, but he doesn't think so much at all...... He even let go of the unpleasantness of "Sherlock" sniping on "Detective Conan", and I think that the technique of "Light Girl" will be learned, which will make him happy. ”

"Why?" Wang Lei was shocked again.

Xu Jing took a sip of tea: "His vision is different from that of ordinary cartoonists, and others learn to improve quality, which is good for the quality improvement of the entire comic industry." ”

"And...... I believe that the last thing he is afraid of is for others to learn. ”

There are many people who have learned what to do, but so far no one has been able to imitate and learn to surpass it. Learning will bring about the rapid development of the entire industry, but it will not have any negative effect on He Xi, he has provided many skills for others to learn in the past, but after so many years, there has never been a disciple who can threaten him - neither can the angels.

Xu Jing believes that as long as others follow He Xi's ass, Phoenix will always go to the forefront of the industry.

"You're probably right...... It's a pity that the teacher is not afraid of others learning, but this "Sherlock" is unexpectedly good-looking, and it is two episodes in a row......" Wang Lei looked at the TV, shook his head and smiled bitterly: "I estimate that Ninghai TV should be ready to hold a celebration banquet by now!" ”

"You're so optimistic about Sherlock?"

A strange color flashed in Xu Jing's eyes.

"Yes." Wang Lei nodded, he had a relatively close relationship with the Phoenix Company, since he was honest once, he didn't think about hiding it at this time, he believed that Xu Jing would not feel displeased with him because of this - if Xu Jing was such a narrow-minded person who couldn't listen to the truth, he wouldn't be able to get along so peacefully with the cartoonist.

"I can't describe how good Sherlock is, it's the job of the critics, but the first episode isn't over yet, but I'm already eager to see the second episode." Wang Lei said: "I don't have a special hobby for detective animation, and the standard of watching animation is quite high, I think other viewers should think the same as me." ”

Wang Lei has been concerned about the comic industry for many years, coupled with the long-term research on He Xi's works, his vision and requirements are higher than the vast majority of audiences.

He doesn't have a preference for detective animation, so even he thinks it's good. Those who are interested in detective animation, or other general viewers, definitely feel better.

"Sherlock" will be a big success, and it will be a competition with no opponents. That's not to say it can surpass Detective Conan, in fact, Sherlock doesn't need to be the best, and as long as it doesn't disappoint, it succeeds if no other detective anime steals the market - and it doesn't!

Xu Jing touched his beard, his feeling about this new animation was not much different from Wang Lei.

"Mid-summer succeeded......"

He thought so, but he didn't have great regrets in his heart. This outcome had been predicted before, and now it has just become a reality.

The management of Phoenix Company has long been mentally prepared, so the premiere of "Sherlock" received a mediocre response, whether it is Xu Jing of Ninghai, Meng Huo of Su Hua, or the production of "Detective Conan" in Tokyo, they have not been affected at this time - and the two parties who have been hit the most are Ninghai TV and Zhongxia Company.

From the first second of "Sherlock", the two families have been watching it with their hearts, and it is no exaggeration to say that the success of this animation is crucial for both of them. Ninghai TV wants to maintain the number of ratings of animation No. 1, and Zhongxia Company wants to occupy a high point to cope with the pressure of Phoenix Company in the future.

Neither of them can afford to lose, Ninghai TV will lose completely, and Zhongxia will lose - it will be difficult for them to continue to compete with Phoenix in animation.

It's a pity that the animation is too terrifying, especially since several of his popular works haven't been animated yet, these works will be a time bomb, and any one of them is enough to make Zhongxia Company tremble. At this time, if Zhongxia Company can't occupy a certain advantage, how will they fight in the future?

If "Sherlock" fails, not to mention others, there will be a negative impact within the Zhongxia company first.

Therefore, after the animation was broadcast, seeing the real-time numbers provided on the screen, whether it was Ninghai TV or the representatives of Zhongxia Company who followed the progress on the TV station, everyone breathed a sigh of relief, and then the bottom of their hearts were ecstatic - desperate survival, which was a shock full of joy.

"We've won!"

They thought so, and this victory gave them more confidence and possibility. (To be continued......)
