"Ah~ owe!"

Xiangjiang, Jiang Tianshi sneezed suddenly.

"what happened to you?"

The young man who walked into the office asked, this young man looks handsome, his face is almost similar to Jiang Tianshi, in fact they are brothers. The young man is Jiang Tianen, the eldest of the Jiang family, the heir of the family. Although he is the heir, he has a very good relationship with his younger brother Jiang Tianshi. Now he can also make jokes:

"Does this comic still have the function of making people sneeze?"

"Don't be kidding me, brother..." Jiang Tianshi touched his nose, then put the cartoon on the table, and said, "I guess which beauty is missing me. By the way, you come to me to show that the investigation has results. right……"

"En." Jiang Tianen reached out and threw a report over, then sat down on the sofa and lit his cigar and said: "I checked it for you. He Xi does plan to launch an animated movie."

He took a sip of his cigar and shook his head.

"There are very few people who know this, but they can't hide it from me... You are happy this time, so why don't you throw yourself into the net."

Jiang Tianshi looked at the report in his hand, with a smile on his mouth: "He even made animations, and I knew there would be an animated movie sooner or later. I have been waiting for this day for a long time... I can't write stories, comics and animations can't be played. I beat him, but I am better than him in the movie. Do you know what his movie is?"

"I don't know." Jiang Tianen breathed out smoke rings and said, "Hey, he only told others that he was going to make an animated film, and he didn't reveal any content, but the informant said that the most likely is his previous work."

"The previous work... "Five Centimeters Per Second"?" Jiang Tianshi narrowed his eyes slightly: "That's a rival."

"Come on, with me behind you, how could you have a strong enemy." Jiang Tianen said disapprovingly: "But speaking of it. What a shame that this man is like the sky. He even dared to fight against Zhongxia. He seems to be a man who is not afraid of difficulties. , This time I should not miss the opportunity to compete with you."

"Of course!" Jiang Tianshi smiled slightly: "What a pity he has a strong desire to attack. I have studied his experience. He usually looks low-key, but like other geniuses, he is eager for competitors in his heart, as long as he thinks it is. When the opponent's person appears, he will launch a fierce attack. In the past, Qin Ya and Li Xin were like this..."

"I made a noise this time, even the Spring Festival Gala, he will definitely be interested in me." Jiang Tianshi flashed a light in his eyes, confidently said: "I want to be the first person to defeat him, and I want to Let him know that the crown of Chinese animation movies will always be in my pocket!"

Jiang Tianshi is full of fighting spirit, Jiang Tianen is also very relieved to see such a younger brother. This younger brother is a very proud man. He aspired to become the leader of the Chinese comics industry many years ago, but he discovered He Xi's existence before he graduated. Jiang Tianshi was dumbfounded at that time. Also suffered a great blow.

But finally, he found his way again. Animated movies, this line of Jiang Tianshi should be invincible.

"Why should I make a movie..."

Jiang Tianen’s only concern is that He Xi will retreat halfway. If He Xi gives up making movies, Jiang Tianshi may not think that he is shrinking. He will only think that He Xi looks down on him and disdains him to challenge him.

"What a pity the younger brother just values ​​too much."

Jiang Tianen sighed in his heart, he hoped He Xi could compare with his brother in an animated movie. If this were not the case, if He Xi left him aside as if he hadn't seen Jiang Tianshi, and did not make a movie for a long time, Jiang Tianshi might be angry and go to He Xi's territory to challenge the long-form animation and comics industry.

To be honest, Jiang Tianen didn't want to see the result at all, because the odds of winning were very low. He is an entrepreneur and doesn't like actions with low odds.

At this time, on the high-speed train from Ninghai to Suhua, the topic of animated films continued.

"Speaking of different positioning, teacher He Xi's animation film positioning should be the plot stream?"

Ye Xiong thought for a while, and then said: "This is indeed your advantage, but what a shame, the most important thing in movies is not the story, but the technique. Popular movies rarely have good stories. They pay more attention to the effect of expressive skills. The story of "Crown of the Sky" is average, but its screenwriter, special effects, and guidance in all aspects are top personalities. Although Jiang Tianshi has the name of a director, his talents are only reflected on the screen."

"Jiang Tianshi is not a real director, but he is an excellent commander in command. He has hired China’s top film and animation team, using the experience and technology of others, and integrating his own painting skills, to make the "Crown of the Sky" the best The film effect is to the extreme... Teacher He Xi, I don't recommend you to make an animated film, because you will definitely not be able to beat Jiang Tianshi."

Ye Xiong said, and at this moment, Alice on one side also spoke.

"Actually, I also investigated this matter. Jiang Tianshi was very ambitious." She said, "He was originally the most popular cartoonist, but because of you, Meng Huo, Jiang Tianshi did not become a cartoonist after graduation—— He took the initiative to abandon this path. According to my investigation, Jiang Tianshi is a very proud man, and he is not willing to be succumbed to others."

"He is not confident that he is better than you in comics, so he chose an animated movie." Alice sighed and continued: "The family behind him is unfathomable and can provide the best financial resources and team to support his career. In terms of film, he is far better than you in terms of capital, financial resources, contacts, etc. The production funding for "Crown of the Sky" is said to be 200 million Chinese currency. Like Editor-in-Chief Ye, I do not recommend you to make an animated film. ...Because you will definitely lose."

Both concluded that Meng Huo would lose, and the reason was not that they did not believe Meng Huo.

It’s just that an animated movie is also a movie, and the story of a movie is short, so relatively speaking, the importance of the story is not as important as the shock that the pictures and music bring to the audience. The production cost of 200 million Huaxia coins, in exchange for Meng Huo, would certainly not be willing to spend such a large amount on the film effect... Nowadays, the most expensive "Gundam Seed" in the animation industry, the entire dozens of episodes only have 100 million Huaxia Currency investment, and "Pokemon" is even lower.

A movie by Jiang Tianshi costs more money than all the animations of Meng Huo. current stage. It is impossible for Phoenix to provide so much capital. And even if there is. It is impossible for Meng Huo to use it for animation. If he has 200 million Huaxia Coins in his hand that can be used at one time, he can do more things-it is not cost-effective to put it on the movie.

"I don't compare with him, is it okay?"

Meng Huo said that Jiang Tianshi is obviously a super rich man. Although the painting skills are excellent, but the animated movies made with money are very profitable, he does not take it seriously. What he likes is an animated film that combines stories and comics: "And why do you think you will meet him when you make an animated film? How could there be such a coincidence?"

"You will encounter it if you don't want to touch it."

Ye Xiong shook his head and said, "Teacher He Xi, it seems that you don't pay much attention to Jiang Tianshi."

Meng Huo nodded. He knew about Jiang Tianshi, but he was not interested in ‘Hollywood blockbuster’, and of course he would not pay special attention to a man.

"Teacher He Xi, although you don't care, other people can put you in line with him." Ye Xiong said: "You two have superb drawing skills. Now there is a saying in the animation circle that Jiang Tianshi is in charge of the movie. , And you are in charge of the comics...Many people want to watch the two of you compete. If you launch an animated movie, how can the media and reporters put you together in evaluation."

Animation and comics share the same root. So far, Huaxia has regarded these two things as the same industry. The works of Meng Huo and Jiang Tianshi are different. Now it is just right for the classification of non-interference, but Jiang Tianshi exploded through the Spring Festival Gala, and now the media circles him and Meng Huo together. If Meng Huo launches an animated film, it will be a real genius battle in the eyes of others.

The winning or losing of the animated film determines the evaluation of the two drawing skills by others. If Meng loses, the name of the first cartoonist that has been placed on him may be transferred to Jiang Tianshi.

"You can't beat him, and the loss has an impact on the current momentum. Why do you want to make an animated movie?" Ye Xiong said: "It's thankless, you focus on serial animation and comics, which pay more attention to plot and story. You can be invincible in your works. Jiang Tianshi dare not challenge you in these two works."

"I agree."

Alice nodded and said, "Meng Huo, now is a critical period for Phoenix's transformation. Maintaining your position is of great benefit to the company's development... Animated movies should be done later. Now the company happens to be divided into three places. There are also three in the animation department. If you really want to make an animation, you can just launch a serial animation, right?"

""One Piece", "Detective Conan", "Inuyasha", "Dream Eater", "Ouran High School Host Club"... You still have a bunch of comics that have not been animated, but readers are looking forward to the stars and the moon waiting for you do……"

"I agree." Zhou Qian also raised her hand and said, "I want to watch the animated versions of these comics too, so please make animations, Mr. He Xi!"

"Agree!", "I also agree, I have been looking forward to the animation of "Detective Conan" after listening to ", after,"!", ""Inuyasha" is also very good!", "Idiot, obviously "One Piece" Isn't it better to be more popular!", "From the point of view of interests, "Dream Eater" should be animated earlier, so that we can bring more new comics to our company."

Upon hearing the news of the animation, the entire high-speed rail car was excited, and the employees expressed their opinions one after another, all wanting to adapt their favorite comics into animation.

Meng Huo was stunned for a while. When he was mentioned so by the employees, he suddenly found himself as if...as if...maybe a little distressed? The current company situation is really suitable for new animation works? Should I digest the previous manga first?

"..." He thought: "But if you want to serialize animation now, don't you have enough manpower?"

Although Phoenix’s animation department is divided into three regions, Su Hua and Ninghai’s animation department members together can only continue to serialize "Pokemon", and no one will start a long-form serial animation anymore.

"It's okay. I expected something like this. I'm currently discussing the issue of acquisition with an animation company." Alice saw that Meng Huo was a little moved, with a smile on her face, and said, "That animation company is in Suhua. If we can acquire them, our animation population will be enough."

Meng Huo was surprised: "When did you do it?"

"I have this idea during the Chinese New Year." Alice replied, "The company reorganizes and it lacks people. It is too difficult to rely solely on recruitment. I thought, if merger and absorption of some small companies will work, I really found it. A suitable company, although it has not succeeded for the time being, I guess they will agree."

Meng Huo looked surprised. This was really an excellent idea, and Alice was really useful. When others were worrying about hiring, she even thought of an acquisition.

If the acquisition is successful, Phoenix can indeed launch another new animation. Several of "Detective Conan" are popular comics and have cultivated die-hard readers for several years. If the adaptation of the animation is successful, they will undoubtedly bring more benefits to Phoenix Company than other animations. The direct influence of animation is greater than that of comics, and the animation will make the comics more popular.

Take "Detective Conan" as an example. After the animation, its popularity will rise further, which will not only drive up the sales of magazines, but also make breakthroughs in the peripheral industries that were originally stalemate. Peripheral dolls, clothing, and theme stores will all It may appear that it is also very beneficial to Phoenix's idea of ​​promoting the establishment of a comic street in Suhua City.

"Maybe it can..."

Meng Huo began to be moved ~www.NovelMTL.com~ Although he was a little bit dissatisfied with the idea of ​​animated films, to be honest, the main job of Phoenix Company now is to develop the comic street in Suhua area. As long as this area develops, Phoenix The company can gradually integrate comic culture into social life and seize the commanding heights of the future development of comic companies.

If you use the terms of the previous life, you can think of it like this-whoever creates the world's Akihabara can become the leader of culture. Therefore, at this moment, on the road of Menghuo, rather than blooming ambitiously everywhere, it is better to deepen the charm of existing resources. If you don't deepen the charm of manga, no amount of work will help.

"Do you want to make the previous works popular again?" Meng Huo thought about it. This idea seems to be possible, and with the support of the original work, it is easy to adapt the animation.

"I can consider... In this way, Alice, you go to the acquisition first." After thinking about it a few times, Meng Huo made a decision: "If the acquisition is successful, I will give priority to adapting the animation. If it is not successful, then we can only Let’s make an animated film first."

Meng Huo felt that this was a choice of both ends, but when making this choice, Meng Huo did not consider Jiang Tianshi. Of course he didn't know what the Jiang brothers thought. Even if he did, Meng Huo wouldn't care. He had his own standards of doing things, so naturally he would not act according to the expectations of those two people. (To be continued...)
