Chapter 336: Long and Short Comics
"At the age of eighteen, you can become the de facto controller of a large company, and the teacher is also very talented in business management......
Longteng Building, Li Ming put down the newspaper in his hand, and said with a smile: "Ye Xiong declared to the media two years ago that he regretted the arrival of the times, and now that I think about it, he is indeed very prescient, and the light of the comic industry in recent years has focused on Mr. He Xi, and Xu Jing handed over the future of Phoenix Company to him, as if it was a matter of course." β
In the past few years, He Xi's exhibition has been so eye-catching, Li Ming's newspaper uses the title "Why Phoenix Company Chooses He Xi" as the headline, elaborating on He Xi's past resume.
He debuted as an original cartoonist, and in the first year, he changed the historical status of original comics, and today, the scale of the original comic industry in China is larger than that of the adapted comic industry. He regretted that he then defeated Zhongxia and forced Zhongxia Company to open channels for "Weekly Boy" and "Weekly Girl". Then came the long journey, and he still maintained his position as the No. 1 cartoonist in China during his absence.
And then, what a pity suddenly appeared in the Far East District, acquired Sakura Animation, and defeated Mantian...... He opened up the comic market in the Far East for Phoenix Company with lightning speed, and blinded the eyes of many people. But at the same time, he was recognized and appreciated, he was given the leadership of the Suhua region, and there was no opposition from the Phoenix Company, which shows the high prestige.
"Relying on this resume alone, what a pity that the teacher can be proud of China." Li Ming tapped his fingers on the table and said, "Do you say that the program team of the CCTV Spring Festival Gala will agree to my nomination?" β
"Yes." The publishing director of Longteng Company sat on the sand in Li Ming's office, and said while making tea: "It's a pity that the teacher's resume is quite terrifying, CCTV just wants a special guest, of course he can qualify...... But Li Ming, are you sure that the teacher will be willing to go to the Spring Festival Gala? β
The Spring Festival Gala is a Spring Festival Gala, which is a variety show held by China Central Television on the night of Chinese New Year's Eve every year to celebrate the New Year. It is the world's highest-rated, longest-aired, and most actor-driven variety show, and its influence is greater than any show.
There is a saying in the entertainment industry that 'the Spring Festival Gala is the top stage for artists'. As long as you can appear on the Spring Festival Gala, even if you were ordinary before, you can be famous all over the country later.
Li Ming is not a person in the entertainment industry, but Longteng Company, as the overlord of the Chinese novel industry, will have a special guest seat every year, and the special guest is an elite leader in every industry, and they can sit in front of the stage of the Spring Festival Gala to watch the performance. And have the opportunity to accept the dialogue of the host of the Spring Festival Gala, tell some of the latest information in your industry, etc.
This year, the representative of Longteng Company is Li Ming, as a special guest, he has the right to recommend other guests to the Spring Festival Gala program group. Li Ming felt that power did not need to be used in vain, so he recommended Meng Huo, as long as the Spring Festival Gala program group was reviewed. CCTV will invite Meng to participate in the Spring Festival Gala.
Both Li Ming and the Minister of Publications felt that it was very likely that Meng would be approved by GuΓ².
As soon as the announcement of the personnel transfer of Phoenix Company came out in the past few days, it was a foregone conclusion that he would become the new ruler of Phoenix Company, and countless people were paying attention to him, coupled with the title of the first cartoonist in China, He was fully qualified to appear on the stage of the Spring Festival Gala as a representative of the animation industry.
But it's a pity that the Spring Festival Gala program team doesn't seem to think so. They made a phone call to reject Mr. Li's nomination. There is only one reason: "This year's Spring Festival Gala invited a representative of the animation industry, and there is no longer a need for a second one." β
"CCTV invited someone else!?"
Li Ming was very surprised when he received the refusal, because no one from the animation circle had been invited to the Spring Festival Gala so far, and he thought that he would be the first to propose a proposal.
"Nothing strange." The Minister of Publishing was also surprised, but soon learned the reason: "CCTV used to look down on this industry, but in the past two years, the animation company exhibition has been very fast. CCTV's invitation to others is the right time, even if it is not this year, there will definitely be animation guests in the next two years......"
"But then again. Who's that guest? β
He asked curiously.
"Needless to say, it must be a representative of those large companies in Zhongxia......"
Li Ming replied, but he was also very curious, so he immediately asked people to check it, and it turned out to be an unfamiliar name.
Jiang Tianshi...... Do you know this person? β
He asked the Minister of Publications.
"Jiang Tianshi?" The Minister of Publishing was stunned for a moment, and then stood up: "Of course I know, he is the second young master of the Jiang family!" β
"The Jiang family?" Li Ming frowned. Jiang is not a big surname in Huaxia, but he can call it the Jiang family, and there is one next to him -- a family surnamed Jiang in the shareholders' meeting of Longteng and Zhongxia.
Li Ming is just an editor-in-chief, and he doesn't know much about the company's shareholders. But the Jiang family knows one thing, this is a big family with a long history, one of the giants of Huaxia capital.
"Why did someone from the Jiang family become a special guest?"
He's weird, what does the Jiang family have to do with anime?
"It's simple." The Minister of Publishing frowned slightly, and then said: "He is the first batch of graduates of Yenching University majoring in comics, and he is also a ......."
"What?" Li Ming's eyes widened: "Graduate Xi!?" β
Xi means ranked first, and now Li Xin, the hottest cartoonist in Zhongxia Company, has not ranked in the top three after graduation.
Jiang Tianshi...... Celestial Stone ...... Is it ......?"
Li Ming read the name, and his heart beat a drum, he remembered that a few years ago, when he had not yet debuted, the central government now had a comic genius codenamed 'Angel'.
"Jiang Tianshi? Angel ......"
Li Ming frowned, these two can't be the same person, right? This is wrong, if it's the same person, why hasn't he debuted yet?
"Jiang Tianshi is not a cartoonist......" seemed to see Li Ming's thoughts, and the Minister of Publication continued: "It is said that when he graduated, he saw He Xi's work and said, 'No one can beat He Xi' in the field of comics,' and then he left with the twins who ranked second and third...... I haven't known what I've been doing since then. β
"Don't you think it's interesting now that he's back?" The Minister of Publications smiled: "If he comes out of the CCTV Spring Festival Gala, maybe he can really confront Teacher He Xi." β
"The premise is a fair confrontation...... Li Ming's face was slightly cold: "He is a member of the Jiang family, and the conspiracy of the rich family is ......."
"No, don't think about it." The Minister of Publications interrupted: "As far as I know, the two heirs of the Jiang family are very good, and this second young man of the Jiang family has never had rumors of bullying. Their large families attach great importance to the teaching of their children, and their conduct is generally not bad...... You don't have to worry about what Jiang Tianshi will do at all. β
Li Mingwei said: "How do you know so clearly?" β
The Minister of Publishing ...... touched his nose in embarrassment: "Actually, my uncle is working for the Jiang family, and their influence has penetrated into many places. Definitely more than you can imagine. β
However, he was also a little strange in his heart, why did the second young master of the Jiang family take the initiative to come out, didn't he want to play with He Xi? Once they come out, there will definitely be friction between the two comic geniuses.
"What a pity for the teacher, no matter how rich he is, he is just an ordinary person, how can he let the Jiang family notice?"
The Minister of Publications muttered in his heart, causing Meng Huo, who was eating with Xu Jing in the distance, to sneeze.
"What? Do you have a cold? β
Xu Jing asked with some concern.
"It's not. There may be people talking about me behind my back......" Meng Shu made a joke, and then asked in a condensed voice: "You stay in Ninghai, is this okay?" β
After a few busy days, he finally had the opportunity to have a good chat with Xu Jing.
"No problem, Ninghai needs me, and I will help if you have any requirements in Suhua." Xu Jing replied, "I'm old. I don't have that kind of fighting strength...... I'm not used to going to Suhua, I've been busy for most of my life, but I don't have fun at work. I want to spend more time with my wife now, I didn't spend much time with her when I was young, and I endured too much loneliness, which is a big regret in my life. β
ββ¦β¦β
Meng Shu smiled bitterly, he rarely heard about the Xu family. But from the words that Xu Jing and Alice occasionally revealed, he could see the situation of this family more or less.
More than 20 years ago, Xu Jing accepted homeless mothers and daughters and worked hard for them. A few days ago, Alice's words were full of guilt for Xu Jing, she said that their mother and daughter owed Xu Jing a lot, so they couldn't ignore Xu Jing's idea of wanting a grandson, and now Xu Jing felt that she worked too hard and owed his wife......
The family is too gentle.
"What? Don't have self-confidence? Xu Jing looked at Meng Shu, who was thinking nonsense, and thought that he had no confidence in taking charge of Su Hua's work. So he comforted: "Don't worry, you have done a very good job in the extreme east, as long as you do it at your own pace, the market development of Suhua City will not be difficult for you." β
"Is it difficult...... Meng Shu came back to his senses, shrugged his shoulders and said: "But after doing it in the Far East District, it is really complicated for me to control a company now. β
He's felt this way before, but he's been the president of Sakura Animation for almost a year. Meng was able to realize how tiring it is to lead a company.
"That's just because you don't have a good assistant." However, Xu Jing disagreed: "It's already quite good that you can do that kind of Cheng dΓΉ in an unfamiliar area...... This time it's different from Sakura, the heads of our various departments will accompany you, and Alice has also come along to help you, you've already reconciled, right? β
looked at Meng Shu and nodded. Xu Jing said with a smile: "Alice's ability is not bad, I sent several old employees to assist her, she should be able to take my place, and the chores and daily work will be handed over to her." You move forward attentively, and if you have any difficulties, you can inform me, and I will come and help. β
In Xu Jing's heart, the Phoenix Company is his child, but now it has two elders - he and Alice are one of them, they are like mothers who manage the health and daily life of the child 'Phoenix', and Meng Shu is the father who leads the child to run and thrive......
This model is good, at least in the generation of Meng Huo and Alice. Maybe the Phoenix Company will enter the throes of handover in a few decades, but that kind of thing is too far away, Meng Shu is only eighteen years old this year, and when he hands over power to the next generation, Xu Jing may not be able to wait for a lifetime.
So he is now full of hope, looking forward to Meng Shu bringing Phoenix to the apex of comic companies around the world.
"By the way, I heard Alice say that you're going to make a new comic, right?" Xu Jin thought about this again and asked, "Have you decided on the subject matter now?" β
"No, not yet...... I wanted to draw a short comic, but I haven't found an idea yet. Meng Shu shook his head and said with a wry smile: "There are a lot of ideas for a long story, but I don't want to increase the pressure of updating." β
Up to now, most of the comics released by Meng Huo have not ended, and he has produced one after another long novels, although he has an assistant to help, but he has to draw several comics at the same time every week, and the end date is still far away...... He felt that he couldn't add to the burden like this, so short comics were better.
If another long-form manga is launched, such as "Dragon Ball", he will be serialized for more than ten years, it will be fatal.
"Long and short, just a thought." Xu Jing heard Meng Shu's complaints, and smiled slightly: "Your mind is too stiff, sometimes long stories can become short stories, you have long ideas, but you don't need to be serialized for many years." β
