At noon, Meng Huo walked out of the Qin Garden wearing a hat: "Why are you here?" ”

He asked Alice, who was standing at the door, and Alice smiled and made an excuse: "I happened to come to Yanjing to do business, and when I heard that you were here, I asked Huang Ye to bring me over by the way, how about it?" Are all the songs of "Five Centimeters per Second" completed? ”

"Yes." Meng Shu shook the bag in his hand: "The finished products are all in it, as long as you bring them back to the company, the movie is done!" ”

"What was just recorded?"

"No, it was recorded yesterday." Meng Shu frowned slightly, and said, "I recorded it in the side room of the theater yesterday, but they said that a few teachers were not there, and asked me to play a few songs this morning...... But when I watched the scene, I always felt that the school deliberately arranged for me to perform in front of those students! ”

Meng Shu had spent the whole day the day before finishing the assessment and recording, and with so many students sitting in the theater today, he could see that something was wrong.

"It's not just the students who see you playing." Alice laughed, "There are a lot of musicians here today, haven't you noticed?" ”

Meng Yu was taken aback, he did notice that Qin Lang was there, but the group of people who were with him were old and young, and they didn't talk to him, so they really couldn't tell what kind of musician they were.

"What are they doing here?" He furrowed his eyebrows.

"Didn't you want to meet your piano genius?" Alice glanced at Meng Shu, and then said: "You are really lucky, the original purpose of those people was to pull you into the music industry, but after listening to your performance, an old lady who can be said to be Taishan Beidou in the piano world said that you don't need guidance, and gave up the idea of wooing you." ”

Just now in the theater. There was a bit of discussion among the musicians. Eventually, several veteran pianists recognized Meng as self-taught. In the end, the idea of persuading him was abandoned.

Needless to say, the details of their discussion went without saying, but Alice felt that some of their points made sense. One of the more convincing arguments is Meng's work, and as a person who has worked in a variety of industries such as comics, animation, and games, Meng has enough reasons to continue composing music and getting better at the piano.

Kong Wei and others want to win over Meng Shu, not to mention the feasibility. Even if they succeed, what can Meng Huo gain in the music industry? His piano skills no longer need to be practiced in other piano pieces, nor do he need to train himself in performances and competitions......

It's better to let him continue with the current days, animation and these things will stimulate Meng Huo to compose music and play the piano. He doesn't stop pursuing music. But while a few pianists are optimistic, Alice, who is actually familiar with Meng Huo, is a little skeptical: Is this guy really interested in music?

His piano has been improving over the years, is that because of love, or is it simply because of talent? If anyone else repeats Meng Shu's progress in the past few years, Alice will not hesitate to believe that this is a miracle produced by hard work and enthusiasm, but in the 'talented demon' Meng Shu, she is really not sure......

"Meng Huo, let me ask curiously, do you usually practice in the apartment?"

To get the answer, Alice probed.

"Yes. I practice when I don't have anything to do......"

Meng nodded in reply, but this answer made Alice even more uncertain. She knew that Meng Shu was usually very busy, both work and comics, what was the definition of 'nothing to do', and how often it was, it was really difficult to determine. However, speaking of which, Meng Huo's life is quite monotonous, and there are almost no entertainment activities at ordinary times, as if practicing the piano is indeed the only thing he has to pass the time.

The more Alice thought about it, the more confused it became, and finally decided that she didn't want to, whatever, Meng Shu would not become a pianist anyway.

"Will you go back tonight?" She asked about the time she would be back to Manga Island.

"No, I still have to go to Yenching University in the afternoon to answer questions." Meng Shu shook his head: "I want it tomorrow morning, and I can't go back until noon tomorrow at the earliest." ”

"And where do you live? I'll go back with you! ”

Alice said that Meng Shu thought about it, so he told her about the hotel, and the two had lunch, and then Meng Shu rushed to Yenching University to answer the questions. After answering the questions in the afternoon, he drove back to the hotel, where Alice had already booked another room in the same hotel, but when Meng Shu returned, she was not there.

"Where has she gone?" Meng Shu was a little strange, but Alice came to Yanjing for work, so he didn't care too much. At seven o'clock in the evening, Alice returned to the hotel, but Meng Shu found that her face was a little stricter than at noon: "What's wrong?"

"I heard a message." Alice walked into Meng Shu's room, then poured a glass of water, drank it and said: "In the afternoon, I went to chat with an agent, and she quietly told me a secret news, Zhongxia Company is secretly in contact with many entertainment companies......"

"......" Meng was stunned, and Zhongxia Company finally had a move: "What do you contact?" ”

Alice frowned: "Collaboration with voice actors, songs, and even anime and manga rights for popular TV movies, as well as TV series adaptations of popular manga......"

Meng Shu's eyes widened immediately, he was shocked in his heart, this Dong Ding is too awesome, he even came up with a comic book adaptation TV series, this is the path of Japan in his previous life. However, the world's fastest-growing phoenix has not yet taken this step, and Meng Shu feels that it is not realistic in four or five years, but Dong Ding's vision is too advanced!

"That old man's ambition is so big!" Meng Shu muttered: "But the steps are too big, can he stand firm?" ”

"No, they don't have a lot of steps." Alice shook her head: "What I'm talking about is willingness, I heard that the junior said that Zhongxia Company gave a long-term cooperation to build a long-term cooperation, and the situation of comic adaptation of TV series is just one of the prospects for the future, at this stage they are still very pragmatic, mainly focusing on voice actors and TV adaptation of comics......"

Mid-summer gives a huge vision, but moves very cautiously, and because of this, Alice realizes the seriousness of the matter.

It seemed difficult to understand from what she had just said, and Alice immediately explained to Meng Shu. The main business that Zhongxia is developing is the voice actor, which repeats the path of the Phoenix company, and in recent years, the role of voice actors in animation has become more and more important, and Zhongxia naturally understands that he can't lag behind Phoenix in this point.

But establishing your own office and developing voice actors from scratch is obviously not able to catch up with the footsteps of Phoenix Company, and it is not very affordable. The most convenient way is to cooperate with the entertainment industry, before Dong Ding, Xu Jing took the method of inviting celebrities to dub, but this is expensive and complicated every time, and Dong Ding is more simply and directly found the bosses of the stars.

He wants to sign a long-term contract with an agency and select voice actors directly from the stars when he needs them, and at a lower price. This is also a good thing for those companies, which is equivalent to an extra business, maybe they didn't look down on the voice actor industry a few years ago, but now there are quite few people who will refuse.

"If nothing else, in a few months, the animation of the mid-summer zuò will be all star dubbing." Alice sighed: "It's terrible, one or two animations are okay, if all the voice actors are replaced by stars, then the influence of Zhongxia's animation will be several times greater." ”

Meng Shu also felt a tricky feeling, Alice was right, the occasional star voice actor will only be an indirect publicity highlight, but if it is a long-lasting, full-lineup star, then there will be more stars to form a scale effect, they can make all the animations of Zhongxia Company look new, all with the label of star, and even change the status quo of the entire voice actor industry.

Not only that, Alice didn't say that there was the most terrible thing behind this matter, and she believed that she could understand it without saying Meng Shu. That thing will have a fatal impact on the Phoenix Company - the Zhongxia Company is taking a completely different development path from the Phoenix Company.

The development of Phoenix can be compared to a proud and lonely child, with the amazing talent of this cartoonist, they don't need to please the entertainment industry, they don't need to grovel under the traditional TV group to run forward, and they keep encroaching on other people's fields on the way, and those old industries don't know how aggrieved they are.

Voice actors cannibalize the influence of celebrities and the stage and animation, and cannibalize the schedule and ratings of TV dramas...... Some brokerage companies and film and television companies hate Phoenix to the core, but they can't deal with Phoenix Company.

Zhongxia's current actions will change this, and the agency can rely on stars to enter the voice actor world, and it is likely to beat the voice actor of Phoenix Company with a quantitative and qualitative advantage. Film and television companies have more channels for adapting comics and animations, and the development of TV dramas has increased, and even comics can be adapted into TV series in the future, using the popularity of comics to increase ratings.

No matter how you look at it, Zhongxia's actions are a mortal threat to Phoenix Company, and others may not be able to make this plan successful, but Dong Ding can definitely turn the plan into reality.

Meng Shu suddenly remembered the book he had read about Dong Ding, and there was a paragraph in the book about the annexation of another novel company by Longteng Company during the development period, and the president of that company at that time commented on Dong Ding: "He is a poisonous snake that usually lurks in the grass, accumulates venom when you don't know it, and then waits for the best time to strike a fatal blow." ”

He now understands this evaluation a little, Dong Ding has been very low-key since he took office, but he didn't expect that he had started the layout silently.

And this is still the layout of the entertainment industry, Alice only heard by chance that Zhongxia's purpose on this is animation. But Meng Shu believes that Dong Ding can't just focus on animation, and he may have begun to carefully plan for the future in comics, peripherals and other industries.

The old man was a little scary, but Meng Shu believed in one thing...... In the end, it will be the work that will determine the future of manga. As long as the Zhongxia Company does not surpass him in his works, it is impossible to win. And if they surpass Meng Huo in his work, then Meng Huo will be happy - his rebirth is not in vain.

Huaxia comics, after all, still have to find their own way.

However, Meng Huo also believes that he can still lead the comics forward for decades...... (To be continued......)
