Chapter 414: "Flame Boy"
After the grandfather and grandson met, Meng Huo's work returned to peace.
He was delayed for a while by Shen Jie and the college entrance examination, and there were many mistakes in the preparation of "Madoka Magical Girl", but he finally got on the right track.
In addition, the game production department of Phoenix Company has also started a new job, but this matter is kept secret, Meng Yu prepared many surprises in the second half of the year, including a brand new comic, but too much information leakage will make readers feel numb, and now it is more than enough to announce a "Magical Girl Madoka" to the public, after all, the trend of "Pokemon" is not over.
With the arrival of the summer vacation, "Pokemon" ushered in another wave, and the sales of Datang's new handheld exceeded three million copies in one fell swoop, and Qi Ying's shares have been transferred to Ye Man.
Shen Jie's injuries were fully retributed in that man, and Qi Ying faced a sentence of thirty-five years, and there was no possibility of reappearing in his life. Meng Shu also let go of his anger against him, but there was still a Jin Yan at large, the Meng family was ruthless, Jin Yan's company declared bankruptcy the day after his accident, but Jin Yan himself was saved by Jiang Tianshi.
Meng Shu didn't let the old lady of the Meng family continue to help, this was his business, and he wanted to send Jin Yan to the cell with his own hands.
On the other hand, Shen Jie's hospitalization brought an unexpected loss to Phoenix Company, she was the voice of important roles in "Pokemon" and "Detective Conan", and the long-term hospitalization made Phoenix Company have to temporarily choose other voice actors to replace her, which caused a great repercussion in society.
Ratings for both anime fell in a row for several weeks, with Pokemon in particular dropping by five percent. Shen Jie was in charge of the dubbing of the protagonist Ash, and Ash temporarily changed the voice actor. This has left some loyal viewers very dissatisfied. Some people even set off demonstration signatures on the Internet. And under the guidance of some well-intentioned people, various conspiracy theories are also emerging in endlessly.
'Ash's voice actor was banned because he offended the teacher! ', 'Phoenix Company exploited the salary of voice actors, and a large number of voice actors resigned in anger!' ’…… This kind of reporting is everywhere.
Although these words did not cause great economic losses, the impact was quite bad, and Alice was very sad about it.
"When will Shen Jie come back?"
On August 6, when she reported the situation to Meng Shu, she mentioned the animation matter: "Her voice is too distinctive, and the current imitators can't imitate it well at all." ”
Meng Shu is also very nerve-wracking, and Shen Jie's condition is not yet well. And she has been transferred to Qingcheng.
The main reason why I transferred to Qingcheng was for work. Shen Jie wanted to go back to Qingcheng as soon as possible to give her relatives an answer, but her condition could not be discharged casually, and after getting permission from the hospital, she was now temporarily transferred to Qingcheng. She would stay in the hospital in Qingcheng for a few days before being transferred back to Yanjing.
However, Meng was almost coming back.
"Alice, can't you send someone to the hospital to give Shen Jie a voice?"
He asked.
"Can't!" Alice: "Dubbing is a professional job, and we need a lot of equipment, and we can't move the equipment to Yanjing." ”
"That's because you're too demanding...... Meng Shu smiled bitterly: "You don't have to worry about so much during this period." Didn't we make an announcement saying that Shen Jie was unwell? You try to record Shen Jie as much as possible, and then take it back for post-production. Even if the quality is poor, the audience can accept it, right? No matter how you say it, it's better than the current situation. ”
Alice thought about it, what Meng Shu said was not unreasonable, the sound quality of the dubbing was slightly different, and it was difficult for ordinary viewers to notice.
"Okay."
She agreed, and the problem of dubbing was quickly resolved, and the anime's ratings slowly recovered.
During this time, Meng Huo also expanded the security team of Phoenix Company, and the number of security guards became more than some security companies, but this was necessary. The main job of the security guard is to act as the bodyguard for the voice actors to perform everywhere, specifically to prevent things like Xia Chuan's real ones from happening, and with them, there is no fear of shortage of manpower for any events held in the future.
On August 15, early in the morning, Meng Shu got up as usual to get ready for work, but Ye Xiong hurriedly knocked on the door of his apartment.
"What a pity, teacher, Long Teng, Zhongxia Company, and Jiang Tianshi have united!"
The comic editor-in-chief reported a big event.
Jiang Tianshi's action began, and on this day, Longteng and Zhongxia Company held a grand press conference in Ninghai, announcing that Longteng's super popular novel "Flame Boy" will be adapted into comics and animation by Zhongxia Company and Jiang Tianshi's animation studio, and its animation production work has been secretly carried out in July, and it is scheduled to be launched in mid-September.
The comic adaptation of this novel was completed by Jiang Tianshi and Li Xin, and the comic has no bright spots, but its animation production cost is as high as four million per episode, and the production lineup is unprecedentedly luxurious.
Outstanding team of artists, well-known screenwriters, top special effects companies...... There are also the most critical voice actors, the voice actors of this animation are all selected from the first and second tier idol stars in China, these stars are not only responsible for the dubbing of the characters, but also serve as the singing of animated songs, and the composition of "Flame Boy" is also responsible for all top composers.
Zhongxia Company claims that "Flame Boy" is the first ultra-high-definition animation in China that can watch every episode as a movie, and its production process can be said to be an outstanding process, every detail will be done to the extreme, Jiang Tianshi even said that "Flame Boy" can replace "Pokemon" in another year to become the first national animation in China.
At the end of the press conference, the entire anime industry talked about it. The media reporters couldn't stop laughing, what a pity "Madoka Magical Girl" is expected to be launched at a time similar to "Flame Boy", Zhongxia Company and Jiang Tianshi suddenly joined forces to kill, it is obvious that they are targeting He Xi's ass.
"Zhongxia Company has withered for so many years, and it has finally risen again!"
"The animated lineup is unprecedentedly luxurious, tsk...... In order to defeat Teacher He, Zhongxia is really not afraid of losing all his money! ”
"Compared with the adapted comic of Phoenix Company and the adapted animation of Teacher He Xi, after so many years, it is now back to the distance - the adapted animation and the original animation are fighting again, but this time, the chances of the teacher are not good......"
After many years, the media has reproduced the unanimous opinion of the year that it was not optimistic about what is a pity.
This time the situation is different from that year, the hottest adaptation of "Sherlock" was just the act of a single cartoonist, single to single, who can surpass the cartoonist in technology? However, animation is different, animation tests the skills of a group, and in this regard, the advantage of "Flame Boy" is too great.
In the production group of "Flame Boy", there are three people whose talent alone surpasses Li Xin back then...... And He Xi's animation group has never been particularly famous, and the outside world believes that the success of animations such as "Pokemon" and "Detective Conan" is mainly due to He Xi's alone.
He is a talented manga artist, and he knows more about animation than many people. Before joining the Phoenix company, several groups, including Kazuki Animation, were not particularly prominent, but after joining, these animation makers will be trained into groups suitable for the corresponding animation in a short period of time.
Suitable for animation, coupled with the script and music prepared by He Xi, and the outstanding voice actors, these are the factors that make Phoenix Animation's success successful.
But the core of these factors is just 'what a pity', the power of one person is limited, and in the face of the overwhelming group advantage of "Flame Boy", Phoenix has little chance of winning.
Of course...... And that's not all, "Flame Boy" is a long hit novel, it sold a total of ten copies, and the highest single volume sales exceeded 80 million copies, and the manga sales of "Detective Conan" were far less than it!
This novel is even more popular in China than "Detective Sherlock", it is still serialized, ranking in the top four of the best-selling list of Chinese novels for five consecutive years, and its popularity remains high. (To be continued......)
