Chapter 250: Voice Actors and Celebrations
After coming out of the office, Meng met Alice.
"Finally found you?"
Alice was also looking for him, with sweat stains on her forehead, and she said, "It's going to be a meeting, you come with me." ”
"Meeting? Is it a business division? ”
Meng Shu followed her back and asked, if it was a matter of the business department, then there was no need for a meeting, Xu Jing had already told him everything, but Meng Shu was still a little hesitant now, and he didn't want to decide the candidate in such a hurry.
"Division? Yes...... You listened to my dad. Alice was stunned for a moment, then shook her head and smiled: "No, that thing is still in the plan, now it's another matter." ”
"What's the matter?"
"Just come with me......"
Alice took Meng to a conference room, where several people were already seated, including the husband and wife from the animation production department, He Qian, and the financial director Lin Mingzhe. They sat in two rows, with Lin Mingzhe sitting on one side and the others on the other.
"What a pity for the teacher!"
After Meng Shu came in, these people got up to greet him.
"Editor-in-Chief Ye, what about them?"
Meng Shu asked curiously, he didn't see the editor-in-chief of "Weekly Boy" and "Weekly Girl", nor did he have the person in charge of the current personnel and publishing departments, and he felt a little strange.
Isn't this an important meeting?
"They're still interviewing some new people, and this meeting has nothing to do with them." Lin Mingzhe helped answer, his brows furrowed: "Why don't you know the reason for coming here, teacher?" ”
Meng Shu nodded: "Can anyone explain it to me?" ”
"I'll do it." Alice pulled out a stool for Meng to sit down, and then explained to him.
The cause of the incident came from the voice acting problems that came with the production of "Pokemon" and "Fate/staynight". Both the animation and game divisions used to mess around for the sake of voice actors. During a chat, the idea of forming a voice actor agency suddenly popped up.
The current voice actors are too scattered and chaotic. And there are often gaps. If Phoenix had its own voice actor agency, it would be much more convenient to produce games and animations in the future.
He Qian and the others told Alice about the matter, and she also agreed with this idea, so there was this meeting.
"We've done our research privately, and most of the voice actors are interested in jumping ship, and I think it's a completely feasible plan." Alice said, "I want to build a small voice actor agency and keep all the current voice actors. ”
Meng was a little surprised, voice actor agency. He hadn't thought about it for the time being, but he didn't expect these people to think of it in advance.
"I don't agree." But after Alice finished speaking, Lin Mingzhe spoke: "It takes a lot of money to set up a voice actor agency, and the current model is already very good. ”
Phoenix is a comic book company that is now involved in animation and game production, and Lin Mingzhe didn't feel the need to venture into the entertainment industry. And as a CFO, the company's interests are the bottom line that he can't compromise.
The status of voice actors in China is not high. Nowadays, there is no perfect development path, a voice actor agency, and its prospects are very bleak.
Not to mention that the company's games no longer need voice actors, and the voice actors of the anime are sufficient, and they only need to pay a small amount every week. If you open a firm, you need more money to maintain the department. Nothing good.
"Meng Shu, what do you think?"
Alice looked expectantly at Meng Huo.
Meng Shu was silent, it turned out that Alice called him as a lobbyist, as long as he spoke, Lin Mingzhe was unwilling. I should also nod at the end. Xu Jing didn't come forward, which meant that he would be in charge.
Let's be honest. Meng Huo was very interested in the voice actor agency, but the timing was not right.
Now he only has "Pokemon" animation that needs voice actors, and it is not very useful to establish an office, and the animation market in China has not yet been developed, and it is difficult for the value of voice actors to rise.
"I don't think it's ...... right," he said, "I should be able to do it in two years, but I'm too eager to do it now." ”
Phoenix is not a big company, you can't spend money indiscriminately, Meng Shu feels that at this stage, the establishment of a voice actor agency will do more harm than good, and only when he launches more works, the value of voice actor will be revealed.
"Eager......" Alice shook her head and said, "Actually, I understand that this is a bit rushed, but this can solve another thing. ”
The others looked over curiously: "What's the matter?" ”
"What a pity for the first anniversary celebration ......"
Alice turned her head to look at Meng Shu and said with a smile: "Those voice actors are all artists, I think they can participate in the performance of the celebration, and if you poach them first, the appearance fee can be reduced a lot." And appearing at the first anniversary celebration is a great benefit to both the teacher and the voice actors. ”
What a pity for the first anniversary celebration, Phoenix Company has made a huge amount of reserves, and wants to make the largest cartoonist celebration ever, during which there will be many activities, and performances are also indispensable.
"Wait...... Miss Alice, what do you mean...... Not going to ask a celebrity to help? ”
Lin Mingzhe interrupted suddenly, and asked with slightly bright eyes, according to Alice's words, if the company lets these voice actors perform, it can save a lot of money.
The appearance fee of the second-tier stars in China is millions, and these millions are more than enough to establish a voice actor agency, and the value of the voice actor is not high.
Xu Jing said that this celebration should do his best, and Lin Mingzhe didn't think about saving money, but Alice opened his mouth differently. She is Xu Jing's daughter, and she has a good relationship with Meng Shu, if she agrees with these two people, if you don't invite celebrities to this celebration, you can save a lot of money.
"I don't think it's necessary to invite celebrities, this is our celebration, if too many celebrities are invited, it will become their stage."
Alice nodded and replied that the celebration she wanted was a personal celebration, not a stage for stars, and she believed that cartoonists could attract a large number of readers.
If the program on stage is related to Ho Xi's work, such as the animation voice actor performing on stage, it will be easier for the audience to enjoy it.
Lin Mingzhe's heart moved, this Alice's idea is very good......
"What a pity teacher, what do you think?"
He asked Meng Huo, and his attitude changed: "If you don't invite celebrities, the company's funds are very abundant, enough to establish a small voice actor agency." ”
Lin Mingzhe made a calculation in his heart, and asked the celebrities to raise those voice actors for several years. The only problem is that celebrities can liven up the celebration, and without them, the celebration might be less effective.
This is a celebration that Phoenix Company has finally held, why would you agree?
"I agree ......"
Lin Mingzhe was still thinking, but Meng Shu nodded, he liked the idea. This celebration of the comic book industry was not supposed to be a celebration of the entertainment industry, and he liked Alice's idea.
Originally, Meng Huo was not interested in the celebration, but now he has more expectations.
"Okay, since the teacher said so, build it!" Lin Mingzhe was happy, and the company saved another batch of money: "But Miss Alice, you have to prepare a value report for me of the firm." ”
He turned his head and reminded Alice: "Our company will not raise people for nothing. ”
"No problem......"
Alice breathed a sigh of relief, the voice actor agency may not be able to make money in recent years, but it is unlikely that it will lose money, and if the celebration is successful, these voice actors may be able to generate other income.
He Qian and the three were also very happy, and after the meeting, they went back to announce the good news.
Meng Shu and Alice walked back to the office, and on the way, he smiled, "How did you come up with this?" ”
"I've been in the entertainment industry for a long time, and I'm just nostalgic...... Alice replied, "Those voice actors are basically depressed people, and we set up an office to give them a chance." ”
"The profession of voice actor...... You've been paying attention. Alice smiled slightly: "Anyway, sooner or later, wouldn't it be better to start now?" ”
She winked at Meng Shu, and Meng Shu showed a wry smile: "I really can't hide it from you......"
Sometimes he felt that his thoughts couldn't escape Alice's eyes.
“……”
Meng Shu frowned suddenly, for some reason, at this time, he remembered Shen Jie, and she also paid attention to him as much as Alice.
