Chapter 80: Every man has a Gundam dream in his heart

The red Porsche sped by, causing an exclamation from passers-by on the side of the street, but the interior of the car was quiet.

Meng Shu couldn't stand the silent atmosphere, and took the initiative to speak: "Don't you scold me? ā€

ā€œā€¦ā€¦ No. ā€

Alice drove without squinting, and her voice was slow: "Dad is old, sooner or later he will have to leave, maybe you will be a good heir." ā€

She didn't let Meng Huo see through her thoughts, and on the way home, the two didn't have an extra conversation.

The Porsche stopped under the building.

"Get out of the car and go back to bed early."

"Thank you."

Meng thanked her and stepped out of the car.

He was about to close the car door when a voice suddenly came from inside: "If you get the phoenix, do you want me to help?" ā€

Alice may not know if Meng Shu will succeed, but he has created so many miracles, it is not surprising that he will succeed this time.

"Yes." Meng Shu looked back at the car and said with a slight smile: "As long as you are willing, there will be a place for you by my side." ā€

"Really?"

Alice muttered, the corners of her mouth seemed to turn up, she didn't say anything more, and quickly drove away.

Over the next two days, Xu Jing worked out specific requirements for improving the standards of other cartoonists.

Starting in December, Phoenix will add a column in Weekly Shonen and Weekly Girl called "Ho Xi's Guidance Room", which will publish a new short comic every week, and the submission of this short story will be reviewed by Ho Chi at full discretion.

He mentors and accepts submissions from other cartoonists, and then Phoenix conducts a readership survey. Each week's short story has a special, open questionnaire, and if the reader's satisfaction reaches the top three, the short story will be transferred to the official serialization. And after December, Meng Huo only needed to add two new serials to "Weekly Boy" and "Weekly Girl" respectively, and he succeeded.

In terms of quantity, this requirement is not very difficult, there are five issues of "Weekly Boy" in December, and "Weekly Girl" has four issues, and half of the success rate is enough.

However, reader satisfaction is not simple, and the first reader satisfaction of the two magazines is He Xi's comics. And the two short stories are required to rank in the top three, and it is almost certain that these two comics will be ranked second and third, which can indeed be regarded as best-selling comics in magazines with one or twenty comics.

"What a ...... of strict standards"

Meng Shu couldn't help but feel tricky about this request, but he quickly realized that this request would not be more difficult than he thought. Because the new comics only need to pass others, and the others are not as good as him combined.

He began to prepare, apart from the routine comics, he did not even surf the Internet and learn the piano, so some of the events that were causing a sensation and leaven, he would not know until a while.

On Wednesday, Ye Xiong, the editor-in-chief of Weekly Youth, walked into Meng's home at his invitation.

"Tomato-sensei, are you there too?"

After entering the door, Ye Xiongxian, in addition to Alice, professional cartoonist Tomato was also sitting in the living room, but there was no figure of Meng Shu: "Why pity the teacher?" ā€

"He's printing out the stuff, and he'll be out right away." Tomato turned his head and replied, "It's a pity that the teacher was tinkering with a new theme two days ago, and I came today to see it." ā€

"New theme?"

Ye Xiong's eyes lit up, and he remembered "What a Pity's Guidance Room", and the editorial department received an order to launch a new short story. The past two days have been very exciting, and each editor has notified his cartoonists to prepare for submission.

But Meng Huo, who was in charge of this column, did not appear for a long time, and everyone was very disappointed, and they were still wondering if Meng Huo was not going to guide others.

Ye Xiong appeared today, as if this was not the case.

"It turns out that the teacher has requirements for the subject matter."

He sat down with anticipation, what kind of subject would it be? didn't wait long, Meng Huo, who had printed the materials, walked out of the study.

"Give." He put the information on the table: "You see, I ask the short story to be written on this topic. ā€

Ye Xiong and Teacher Tomato hurriedly got together and looked at it, this information was only ten pages, full of words, and some simple portraits of people.

"What is this?" Mr. Tomato was surprised: "Huge machine qƬ people! ā€

"Yes, so to speak."

Meng Shu nodded, and a bright light flashed in his eyes: "I'll name them Mobile Suit Gundam, or Gundam for short." ā€

Gundam, this is a very popular anime series from the previous life.

Since its debut in 1979, the series has had a significant impact on the global subcultural scene. It is widely used in movies, OVAs, manga, novels, video games, tokusatsu and models, and is one of the most famous, enduring and massive series of anime works, and even university professors and critics have made Gundam a subject of research.

"Every man has a Gundam dream in his heart."

Meng Huo believed in the potential of this series, but the Gundam series had to go through market development before it could be gradually accepted, and this made it easier for others to do it than himself, so Meng Huo opened up the subject matter and let other manga artists create stories, and he would bring out a few masterpieces when it was suitable.

He doesn't worry that others will pass him, because the information he takes out is relatively old, and those cartoonists can't reach the mature stage without ten years of digging and groping, and Meng Huo will always stand at the top of the genre.

"This huge machine is actually piloted by a human!" Ye Xiong and Tomato flipped through the information, and the more they looked at it, the more shocked they became, this information opened up a whole new world.

The structure of the Gundam machine is clear and attractive, and the setting of a person sitting in it is even more amazing. There is no clear explanation of how to fight, but a few simple sketches show that the Gundam can be equipped with melee combat, lightsabers, guns, etc., and its combat is as comprehensive as a human.

"Cool, so cool!"

Mr. Tomato's brain flashed with inspiration, and he seemed to see the scene of a huge machine fighting in the sky and the sea, which was a battle of steel, a battle of swords and cannonballs, and a bloody battle of pure masters! This kind of mechanical structure is very suitable for the reader to accept, and the violence and exhilaration, the combat scenes are also very sufficient.

"I—I'm going to learn this! What a pity, teacher, please teach me how to draw a Gundam! ā€

Teacher Tomato was excited, he stood up excitedly, but before he could stand firmly, he was suddenly pushed away by Ye Xiong.

"What a pity, teacher, you are too godly!"

The comic editor-in-chief took two steps forward, holding Meng Shu's hand with excitement on his face, and he shook it up and down: "This theme can be popular, it must be popular!" It's unprecedented, it's our company, no, it's a revolution in the world of comics! ā€

Meng Shu smiled slightly, of course this is a revolution, the current comic industry is blank, and he can be revolutionary not only this time.

Tomorrow the editor-in-chief of "Weekly Girl" will come, and he will also give her a revolution.

"Editor-in-Chief Ye, let's discuss the cost of borrowing the theme......

Of course, what Meng Huo needs most is money.
