Chapter 416: Two Data
"Angels?"
Comic Island, after hearing Ye Xiong's report, Meng Yu showed a look of surprise, he didn't expect to suddenly kill such a comic group. Meng Huo has also thought about this model of comic group before, in fact, Meng Huo has always wanted to find a few people with outstanding painting skills to form a group, which can greatly improve the output and quality of animation and comics, but unfortunately he has not found a satisfactory object.
"I didn't expect Zhongxia to take the first step."
Meng Shu sighed secretly in his heart, Zhongxia would think of forming a group, which was indeed a very smart decision.
"Angel is a group of ten top painters, and the core of the group is Jiang Tianshi." Ye Xiong continued to report that the information he heard at the test screening venue was very detailed: "Why don't you pay attention to this group, "Flame Boy" is mainly in charge of angels, but there are hundreds of painters to help in the periphery...... The role of this angel group is not only in this anime. β
Ye Xiong paused and said the key information.
"Angel is the comic group that Zhongxia will focus on supporting in the future, judging from the rumors they have released, Zhongxia may make 'Angel' a golden group, and will also launch a series of comics, they are likely to be shaping a star cartoonist group, just like some artist groups in the entertainment industry now."
This information is important, but it did not surprise Meng Shu, Zhongxia announced the establishment of 'Angel' with great fanfare, of course, it can't be just for an animation. According to Meng Shu's assumption, this should not be the case, if he has such an elite group, it will definitely make full use of animation, comics, and even games.
Zhongxia wants to support the 'Angels', this group has men and women, and Ye Xiong said that the members of the 'Angels' are generally not bad-looking. That proves that its future will be an idol type manga group.
Mr. Mach was also an idol manga artist. But idol cartoonists stand together. This is the first time I have seen Meng Shu. A group against him, not to mention, has a high success rate.
Although Meng was confident, he was not blind enough to think that he could hold a group underneath, but on the other hand, he also felt a little strange.
"There is Li Xin in this angel, but you don't seem to have mentioned Qin Ya's name, why isn't she in it?"
This is a strange point. Qin Ya is the signature of Zhongxia Company's girl comics, since Li Xin has joined Angel, why didn't Qin Ya join.
"I don't know about that...... However, Qin Ya did not join the angels. Ye Xiong shook his head, he didn't know the answer either.
Meng Shu frowned slightly, he couldn't figure it out, there was another strange place, Jiang Tianshi obviously came over to challenge him by himself, how could he form a group with others?
Obviously, Ye Xiong couldn't give this answer, so Meng Shu had to put aside his two doubts for the time being and asked, "Except for this." What other things were announced at the test screening? β
Ye Xiong nodded, his face becoming more solemn.
"Zhongxia's 'Flame Boy' will premiere on Ninghai TV......," he said, "and the news is terrible. I investigated and found that Ninghai TV's popular animation schedules are all full.,The rest are unpopular time periods.,It's a pity that your new animation may have to choose other TV stations.γ β
Meng Shu was stunned, this was really a bit of a surprise, but it wasn't too surprised. The reason why Ye Xiong feels bad is because Ninghai TV has the largest number of animation viewers, the luxurious lineup of "Flame Boy", the popular original work, and the TV station with the first animation rating, which is simply unstoppable in Ye Xiong's eyes!
However, Meng Shu had long thought that there would be such a day, and Zhongxia Company moved to Ninghai City, and Ninghai TV would choose to move closer to them sooner or later. This time, the launch time of "Magical Girl Madoka" is similar to that of "Flame Boy", but the TV station has not come to say hello recently, and it is obvious that Ning Hai chose Zhongxia Company.
There are no permanent friends in business, and Meng Shu understands it very well.
"It's okay." He smiled slightly: "Our animation doesn't worry about TV stations, and it's good to choose other TV stations." β
After saying this, Meng Shu asked Ye Xiong to retreat, but before he left, he added a piece of news that I don't know if it was good or bad - the serialization speed of "Flame Boy" is two weeks, that is, one episode in half a month. Because the animation is too difficult, this animation can't be updated every week like other animations.
Fortnightly...... After Ye Xiong left, Meng Shu was even more strange, was this the animation that Jiang Tianshi was going to fight against?
No matter how you look at it, it's not right, first the appearance of the group 'Angel', and then the half-monthly episode - how does Jiang Tianshi want to compete with Meng Yu?
"Madoka Magical Girl" is a short animation, and it is a weekly update, how does it compare with the animation of a long half-moon change like "Flame Boy"? Even if it's the ratings, is it difficult to compare the ratings of "Madoka Magi" for two weeks with the ratings of "Flame Boy" for one week?
"Impossible......"
Meng Shu thought in his heart, his doubts did not last long, two days later, a call from an unfamiliar number came, and when he answered it, it turned out to be Jiang Tianshi's voice.
"What a pity, teacher, I think you've heard of the animation "Flame Boy"." On the phone, Jiang Tianshi said with a smile: "I formed a new group Angel, which I formed single-handedly, isn't it interesting?" β
Meng Shu didn't answer directly: "The competition you told me is referring to "Flame Boy"? β
"Yes, that's it!" Jiang Tianshi admitted: "Although it is a little different from the plan, I plan to compare "Flame Boy" with you, why don't you be afraid, teacher?" β
"No, how can you compare?"
Meng Shu was simply sharp.
ββ¦β¦β
Jiang Tianshi on the other side almost choked, why did he think he would complain a few words, but he didn't care at all?
He frowned and continued: "We don't compare the ratings, the popularity of 'Flame Boy' is very high, and it doesn't mean much more than the ratings, so ...... Let's compare two numbers jΓΉ. β
"Count jΓΉ?" Meng Shu was surprised: "What count?" β
Jiang Tianshi elaborated that the first number he said was audience satisfaction, which was a unique number in the Chinese television industry, calculated by a professional statistical company.
Audience satisfaction is mysterious, but in the simplest terms, it is the satisfaction of the audience watching a TV show. This number is more authoritative than the ratings, but the survey process is very cumbersome, and no company will do it for free, so you have to pay an expensive survey fee.
"I can help you pay for it." Jiang Tianshi said: "The satisfaction of "Madoka Magical Girl" is released once a week, and compared with the average value of "Flame Boy" for two weeks, I will ask the most authoritative company to count, of course, in order to show openness and transparency, the results will also be announced to the public." β
"Why don't you be afraid that I will cheat, teacher, you can ask another company to count, well...... I've got you covered! β
Jiang Tianshi was very generous, but Meng Yu refused, and the investigation amount was only tens of thousands at most, and he could afford it.
Audience satisfaction, this kind of competition Meng Shu feels very innovative.
"What about the second one?" He wondered what the second number jΓΉ was.
But the second thing Jiang Tianshi said was a number, and it was more appropriate to say that it was a number - he was more than the number of awards won by "Flame Boy" and "Madoka Magical Girl" at the Huaxia Film and Television Festival.
With the crazy growth of the number of animations, starting from this year, new awards for animation and animated films have been added to the awards of the Huaxia Film and Television Festival, and Jiang Tianshi wants to compare this to this. The Huaxia Film and Television Festival was held in December or January in previous years, and this year's time has not yet been determined, but there are still a few months, which is enough for "Madoka Magical Girl" and "Flame Boy" to ferment.
"Okay." Meng agreed: "How to divide the victory and defeat?" β
"It's very simple, if you win any number of jΓΉ, you win!" Jiang Tianshi was full of confidence, and said proudly: "But "Flame Boy" is unlikely to lose, what a pity teacher, you just do your best!" β
The advantages of "Flame Boy" are too great, and Jiang Tianshi also knows this. Two competitions, what a pity as long as you win once, even if you win, Zhongxia Company will give enough face to Phoenix Company, and no one will say that they will bully the small with the big in the future. But in fact, no matter whether it is two or three, the advantages of "Flame Boy" will not change, and there are still actions behind Zhongxia Company, Jiang Tianshi believes that he will win.
"I will......"
Jiang Tianshi's tone made Meng Yan feel a little unhappy, but he was more concerned about Jin Yan's affairs, since Jiang Tianshi wanted to lower his standards, Meng Shu didn't mind sending Jin Yan to prison early.
But in both games, in fact, he didn't want to lose, because the real victory or defeat was not decided by him and Jiang Tianshi. Regardless of whether they have this competition or not, the simultaneous launch of "Flame Boy" and "Madoka Magical Girl" will cause a fierce battle, if Meng Shu can't suppress "Flame Boy" in all aspects and let it win somewhere, then Zhongxia Company will be a great success.
As long as there is one place in the audience satisfaction or award of "Flame Boy" that beats "Madoka Magi", Zhongxia Company will be able to recover from its depression, and the comic group "Angel" will also be able to gain popularity in one fell swoop.
Meng Shu may not be as invincible as he is now in the future, but ......
"That's fine."
After hanging up the phone, Meng Shu felt that if he couldn't suppress the 'angel', he would have more fun in the future.
The days with opponents are much more interesting than the days without opponents, he has not seen such an opponent for several years, but he feels a little relieved, he thinks with peace of mind that he has not reached the highest point yet.
But peace of mind, he didn't plan to release the water.
"It's been a long time since I've let go of drawing......"
Meng Shu took out a paintbrush, he had almost forgotten the feeling of painting seriously for the past year, but Jiang Tianshi let him get back a little.
He decided to participate in the production of "Madoka Magical Girl" throughout the whole process, just like when he first drew comics, Meng Yu wanted to produce a super-first-class animation. (To be continued......)
