Big Manga

For anyone who comes to Manga Island, the sights here are full of wonder.

The streets are full of anime-style shops, college students wearing various cosplay clothes and handing out posters, various cartoon road signs and prompts-this place is like a fairy tale kingdom, firmly attracting Qin Ming's attention.

"Mr. Qin is here for the first time?" The secretary couldn't help asking, looking at the guests sitting in the car looking out.

"No, I came here once a few years ago." Qin Ming looked away and said, "But at that time, Ting was small, there were not many people, and the scene was not comparable to now."

The secretary smiled: "Then you should have come here two years ago. The place is different every year. In two years, maybe it will be another scene."

He said with some feelings: "Manga Island is so lively now, I really miss Manga Island two years ago. I usually go out to drink, drink and eat with friends, and there is never any trouble... Now as long as you go out, most people can recognize it. It's hard to be quiet without me."

"Isn't it natural? You are Teacher He Xi's secretary." Qin Ming smiled and said, "The person closest to Teacher He Xi is you."

"That's not necessarily true."——Thinking of the secretary, the person He Xi trusts the most in his heart is Alice, and the person closest to him is Qin Ya.

But of course he would not tell Qin Ming about this kind of worry, after he brought the guest to the Phoenix Building, the secretary said: "Mr. "

He took Qin Ming outside the island studio, then turned and left.

Qin Ming looked at the various animation posters pasted on the wall outside the studio. "Magical Girl Madoka", "Rebellious Lelouch", "Lelouch Girl"... until now, "Steins;Gate" is broadcast.

conAd1(); All animations from Island Studios can be seen here. All animation fans are familiar with and regarded as classic works.

"As expected of China's No. 1 Studio..." Qin Ming looked enviously,

Island Studio is regarded as the first studio of Huaxia Animation, as long as you stand in this corridor, you can feel its strong courage.

He couldn't help but get nervous, straightened his clothes, then walked outside the studio, and knocked lightly on the door.

"Please come in."

Someone's voice answered, Qin Ming opened the door and walked in. I found that the work in the studio was in full swing. Some painters were sitting on the table and carefully drawing pictures. Some painters gathered together to discuss the details of the animation. Many people surrounded the two most middle positions. I regret the place where the teacher works.

But Qin Ming found that his appearance did not attract much attention. Even the nearby painters just looked back when they heard the door opened, and then continued to work with their heads down.

"What a strong working atmosphere." Qin Ming nodded secretly. From this small detail, it can be seen that the working atmosphere of the island studio is quite good. The painters have a strong work ethic and are not easily disturbed by outsiders.

"Which one are you?" At this time. A female painter came over with a familiar voice. Qin Ming sounded the voice that said "please come in" just now.

"Hello, I'm Qin Ming from Huiyue Studio. Teacher He Xi asked me to come here to meet him." Qin Ming replied, handing out his business card.

"You are Mr. Qin. I heard from Teacher He Xi, please go this way." The female painter looked at the business card, then led Qin Ming to the rest area separated by glass doors on the side of the studio, and said : "I'm the painter in charge of the reception today, you sit here first, and I'll call Teacher He Xi right away."

"OK."

After Qin Ming sat down, the female painter poured him another glass of water, and then walked back to the office.

There are no walls around the rest area, and the four sides are almost transparent. Simple tables, chairs and tea sets are placed, which has a very sci-fi feel. You can see the busy studio from the back, and overlook the comic island from the front. It's amazing.

"Why do you have to set it up like this?" He wondered in his heart, but before he could think about it, he saw a person who was more than half younger than himself walking towards this side from the studio.

Qin Ming quickly stood up again, and when the young man opened the door, he stretched out his hand to him: "Nice to meet you, Teacher He Xi."

"Me too." Meng Huo shook hands with him, and looked at Qin Ming in surprise. This man was neater than he imagined, and he was dressed very refreshingly. It could be seen that he was a person with good living habits. .

Meng Huo had a good impression of Qin Ming, and after letting him sit down, he said with a smile, "Do you think the setting of this rest area is strange?"

"How do you know?" Qin Ming was taken aback for a moment.

"People who come here for the first time will most likely think so." Meng Huo said: "In general animation studios, isn't the rest area and the studio completely separated? This will make it easier to rest and won't disturb you. Work."

Qin Ming nodded. This is what makes him strange. Although the lounge and the studio of the island studio are cleverly separated from the sound, they are almost merged into one visually. People who sit here and rest will If you are seen in the studio, you will definitely be very nervous. Once you are nervous, you will not be able to achieve the purpose of rest.

He told Meng Huo the question, and Meng Huo shook his head and said with a smile: "The tension is just the beginning. The employees in the studio are familiar with each other, and after getting used to the setting of this lounge, they will not feel nervous."

"This lounge is mainly a place for people to relax." Meng Huo turned his gaze to the outside. The sky and the city are close in front of him. They calm down."

"I understand this." Qin Ming agreed. The lounge of Huiyue Studio is a small garden. The good environment and scenery can make the painters relax, but he still doesn't understand why there is a transparent space between the lounge and the studio. separated by glass.

Even if you get used to it, you won't be nervous, but what good is this arrangement?

"Teacher, are you afraid that people will be lazy?"

Qin Ming thought of one thing, if it is a transparent field of vision, people who are resting will not dare to be too lazy, because they can see everything inside.

"There is this factor. But it's not the main thing." Meng Huo shook his head: "The main thing is that I want them to rest. They can also see their colleagues working when they look back. I think it will be easier to arouse their enthusiasm for work. "

He laughed dumbly and said, "Don't dare, this model can only be used in the island studio, and it may be counterproductive in ordinary studios."

Qin Ming thought about the scene he saw when he came in. Indeed, the working atmosphere of the island studio is very strong. Everyone is easily infected after coming in. Even ordinary painters will become hardworking when they come here. Studios can't do that.

But this just proves how powerful He Xi is. No matter how good a studio is, it actually revolves around a few core people. The behavior of these few people will affect other painters, thereby changing the atmosphere of the entire studio.

The atmosphere of the island studio was shaped by He Xi and Qin Ya. It can be seen that they are very attentive at ordinary times, so that other painters are unconsciously influenced and changed themselves, and then formed the atmosphere of the entire studio.

After a good atmosphere is formed, every painter here will be a proud and successful painter. It hasn't been long since Qin Ming entered the island studio, but he feels that he has benefited a lot, and he can't help but admire He Xi more and more.

"Let's talk about business!" Meng Huo changed the subject and said, "The Go Association should have told you about "Soul of Chess", right?"

"Yes." Qin Ming nodded: "They said that Mr. He Xi will produce this animation within a year."

"Then there is one more thing they may not have told you." Meng Huo reminded: "I may not necessarily entrust you with the animation of "Soul of Chess". Arranged in other departments. And let you make other animations."

Qin Ming was surprised, he didn't expect this, he thought "Soul of Chess" was inevitable!

"So what are we going to make?"

"I can't say for sure now, it might be "Soul of Chess"." Meng Huo said: "Everything depends on the situation at that time, but I can guarantee that it is the script I provided."

Hearing this, Qin Ming felt relieved, as long as it was He Xi's script, even if it wasn't "Soul of Chess", it wouldn't be much worse.

"What animation are you making now?" Seeing Qin Ming's expression improved, Meng Huo asked, "When will it end?"

"We are doing a change animation of a TV series."

Qin Ming reported that Huiyue Studio is currently producing an animation change of a TV series, which is invested by the TV station that produced the TV series. It has already broadcast halfway through, but there are still several months to complete.

"The news of the transfer of the studio has not been leaked yet." Qin Ming said, "If possible, I would like to finish this animation first."

Meng Huo had no objection. He couldn't immediately let them end their contracts with others just because he got Huiyue.

"Besides this job, do you have any other cooperation contracts?" he asked.

"Yes." Qin Ming nodded: "I signed a contract for an animation last year. It was originally expected to start production in July this year, but now that the studio has changed, I plan to find the other party to cancel the contract."

Meng Huo thought for a while, "Then is the contract animation a long story or a short story?"

"Twelve episodes, three months." Qin Ming replied.

The three months starting from July are October. Meng Huo considered that it will be between October and December when he returns from his trip. Maybe he can let Huiyue Studio continue to finish the work.

Thinking of this, Meng Huo said: "Then don't cancel it, just finish it together, so as not to affect your reputation - after the animation is over, you don't accept the work alone, and I will provide the script. "

Qin Ming looked happy: "Is it possible?"

This is good news for him. The animation in July was contracted by a company of Yang Jiang. Now that the contract has been cancelled, the other party may not be able to find a new partner in a few months, and it may offend others because of it. Of course it is best not to cancel.

"Yes." Meng Huo nodded: "There is also the matter of training. I know that the painters in your studio are very good, but I am used to training the painters in each studio so that they can better adapt to the Phoenix company. style of."

Qin Ming had thought of this matter a long time ago, and was not surprised at the moment.

"No problem, how does the teacher plan to train?"

"In the past, I stayed there for a while, but this time it's more troublesome, and I can't get away." Meng Huo said, "I have two proposals, which one is better for you to see."

He has already thought of two methods, one of which is indirect training through the flow of personnel and exchanges, that is, to mobilize the positions of the painters of Huiyue Studio and the painters of several existing animation studios of Phoenix Company, so that Huiyue The studios are scattered and work in batches in Phoenix Company.

This method has quick results, and it is easy to integrate Huiyue Studio into the system and culture of Phoenix Company. On average, the number of people who go to a single animation department each time is not large, and it will not affect each department.

But it also has a side effect, which is that it will make Huiyue Studio more chaotic. The painters of Phoenix Company in different departments have replaced positions, and all of them work part-time in Huiyue Studio. Come manage the hassle.

"It depends on your control." Meng Huo said, "If you don't have the confidence to control the painter well, you can choose the second method."

The second method is simpler, that is, after the end of "Steins;Gate", Meng Huo directly arranged some painters in this department to work as teachers in Huiyue Studio during the vacation of Island Studio.

Although there were changes from the original plan, Meng Huo asked the painters for their opinions, and some painters were still willing to do the hard work.

However, regardless of the method, Meng Huo's purpose is very clear. Before he returns from his travels and takes over Huiyue Studio, he wants to turn it into a studio that can be used directly, so that he does not need to live in Yangjiang for a long time.

Although it's been a long time, Meng Huo has already seen many things after he returned from his trip - not only to restart the broken comics, to prepare "One Piece" and other animations, but also to deal with the troubles of Zhongxia Company. It is impossible for him to go to Yang Jiang to guide Huiyue Studio.

Qin Ming pondered, he felt that the second method is easier, but on the other hand, if the painters of Huiyue Studio can experience in Phoenix Company for a while, and have direct contact with the creation of several top-notch animations, it will be a great improvement for them. The effect is definitely greater than simply sending people to teach.

And although the temporary replacement of the artists of Phoenix Company will bring management difficulties to Huiyue Studio, but if the management is done well, the quality of the two animations they produced will be higher.

Considering this, Qin Ming made a decision: "I choose the first method."

He has confidence in his management team. (to be continued...)
