Big Manga

(1);

On Sunday morning, Meng Huo received a call.

Alice ate breakfast, watched him answer the phone, and asked, "A phone call from work?"

"It can't be called work, Ning Hai's call..." Meng Huo sat opposite her: "It's about Zhongxia Company."

"Zhongxia? Is the acquisition completed!?" Alice's expression lifted, and she guessed that the transaction should be completed by now.

Meng Huo didn't deny it: "If everything goes well, the contract can be signed today."

"Today?" Alice was taken aback: "Then do you want to go back to Ninghai?"

"...No need." Meng Huo shook his head: "I don't need to show up for now, they will help me deal with it, and I can go there later."

Alice breathed a sigh of relief, she had finally managed to keep Meng Huo by her side, and she didn't want him to leave.

On this day, she didn't ask to go to other places. She just walked around with Meng Huo and went back to the hotel when she was tired. Then she helped revise the information of "World of Warcraft" in the afternoon and passed the day quietly.

In the evening, Alice was going back to Meng's house, and Meng Huo was also going back to Manga Island.

"Sorry, I may not be free to accompany you during the next week's vacation."

"It's okay, you can just come and visit once in a while." Although she didn't do any major things in the past two days, Alice already felt very satisfied: "You can work with peace of mind, and I have your mother and the others to take care of you here."

Meng Huo nodded, and before parting, he put his head on Alice's stomach.

"Did you hear anything?" Alice asked.

"It doesn't seem to be..." Meng Huo got up and smiled, "It's always said on TV that you can hear the child's movements, it seems to be a lie."

"Maybe your child is quieter." Alice giggled, and after laughing, she pouted her stomach: "Meng Huo, don't you really need to test the child's gender? What if it's a girl... ..."

"It's okay." Meng Huo shook his head: "I like girls very much."

He didn't ask Alice to test the gender of the fetus, which was a very simple matter. But Meng Huo didn't think it was necessary, he could accept both boys and girls.

"But I think he's a boy.

" Alice laughed.

She knew that her belly was probably a boy. Although she hadn't passed the gender test, she was taken to the hospital by the old lady for several physical examinations after she came back. The first time the old lady came back, she was very happy, Alice guessed . Maybe the old lady has secretly had someone test the sex of the fetus.

Meng Huo and Alice didn't mind whether the child was a boy or a girl, but the old lady and Li Qin, including Alice's mother, wanted a boy. They didn't tell Alice about the child, but said everything was normal.

But judging from the performance of these elders, Alice guessed that the baby in her belly was definitely a boy.

She didn't tell Meng Huo her guess. It would be better to surprise him after the baby was born.

In the evening, after parting with Alice, Meng Huo returned to Manga Island with the revised game materials. He first handed over the manuscripts to the writers. Let them revise according to his written comments, and then go directly to the studio.

"Teacher He Xi!" Meng Huo had just entered, when Qin Ya in the studio happily called out to him, "Welcome back."

"What's the matter, what happened?" Meng Huo saw Qin Ya's excited face, and immediately knew that something good had happened to her.

"My new manga was handed in today, and it will be officially serialized in two weeks." Sure enough, Qin Ya shared the good news.

"Congratulations, but... the manuscript was delivered today? Why did you say it will be serialized so soon?" Meng Huo asked strangely: "Aren't the editors off work today? They have a meeting for you to review the comics?"

"Not yet!" Qin Ya waved her hand. For a new comic to be serialized, it needs to be discussed at a meeting of the editorial department. She is not immune to this, but Qin Ya is confident.

"My comic will definitely pass the review for serialization." She said, "If those editors don't allow me to serialize as soon as possible, I will submit it to other places and see what they will do!"

Meng Huo was a little surprised. Qin Ya was so confident that this new comic should be very interesting.

"What's the name of the new comic?" Meng Huo said, "You can always tell me the name, right?"

"Phoenix!"

"what?"

"The name of the manga is "Phoenix". It is a story about a different world." Qin Ya said happily: "This is a different world full of mythical creatures. The mountains and forests are covered with clouds and mist, and the sea is filled with fairy mountains. In the fairyland world in the novel, the heroine is the princess of the Phoenix clan."

"Another world?" Meng Huo looked surprised. This theme sounds so mysterious: "And it's a classical theme, how could you think of this?"

This change is a bit big. Qin Ya's previous "Legend of the Galaxy Diva" was a sci-fi comic, but now she plans to draw a classic comic. These are two completely different types.

"You are more suitable for writing modern themes." Meng Huo frowned. Qin Ya's works have always been based on modern cities. He didn't remember any classical works she had, so he couldn't help asking: "Why don't you put the story in the place you are used to?" in the urban setting?"

"There is nothing to write about in the city anymore." Qin Ya explained that she used to write almost all modern romance novels, including celebrities, entertainers, and ordinary girls—almost all of them. These themes did not challenge her. I want to try a subject that I haven't touched before.

"I like the environment of "Inuyasha" very much." Qin Ya said, Meng Huo's "Inuyasha" outlines a vast and fairy-like world view, which makes her very yearning, and she also hopes that she can write some classic and A work of mythical beauty.

"And I have a partner who is very good at this kind of works." Qin Ya added, "Phoenix" is actually not her own work, it is difficult for her to make up her mind to create such a style that she is not good at, but there are people around her This Ye Feimeng, Ye Feimeng happens to be an expert in this style.

Of course, Meng Huo was not relieved by Qin Ya's explanation. Few cartoonists can grasp such a huge *style change, even if there are helpers, it is difficult to say.

"Is this comic a long-form comic?"

"No, this is a novella, and it will end next year."

Qin Ya's answer reassured Meng Huo a little. He had a premonition that it would be difficult for Qin Ya's comic to create the glory of "Legend of the Galaxy Diva", but since it is a comic that has not been serialized for a long time. That's not a big problem.

Even if you fail once, it is also a lesson. With Qin Ya's ability, "Phoenix" cannot surpass "Legend of the Galaxy Diva", and its quality will not be inferior, nor will it shake the foundation of her popularity.

Therefore, Meng Huo did not continue to lobby Qin Ya, and this should be regarded as an adventure for Qin Ya. What if "Phoenix" becomes popular? Before he saw that comic, he couldn't say that it was definitely not suitable for Qin Ya.

Qin Ya's comic was decided, and Meng Huo wanted to ask Bai Han how his comic was going, but when he saw it, Bai Han immediately lowered his head—judging from this nervous look, Meng Huo had already Don't ask.

"Bai Han's comics are not going well?"

The next day, Meng Huo asked Qin Ya during his work break.

"I think it's going well, but she can't pass the test personally." Qin Ya replied, she spent much longer time with Bai Han than Meng Huo. She also has a better understanding of the girl's situation: "A few days ago, Bai Han submitted a draft of a manga, and the editorial department gave it a good evaluation, but she doesn't want to draw it herself."

"Why?" Meng Huo was very surprised. Since the editorial department's evaluation was very good, why didn't Bai Han draw?

"Because she's very demanding!" Qin Ya rolled her eyes at Meng Huo, "I'm used to being your assistant, and her vision for reading comics has also been improved. How can I like the things I draw?"

Bai Han is now facing a situation. She has gained a lot of experience and skills from Meng Huo. He has a particularly high regard for comics. But as soon as she draws herself, she will find that the cartoons she draws cannot fit her vision. Compared with Meng Huo's cartoons, it's a world of difference.

In fact, Qin Ya's assistant also encountered a similar situation, and the editorial department's evaluation of the new manga drawn by that assistant was also good, but the female assistant herself couldn't accept it—because she, like Bai Han, was also drawn by "Galaxy" The high quality of "Legend of the Diva" has had an impact.

Bai Han's situation is even more obvious. He has been helping cartoonist He Xi draw comics for several years in a row. He Xi's comic standards are far superior to other cartoonists in the comic industry. And Bai Han, who is used to He Xi's cartoons, will naturally face the gap between imagination and reality when she starts to draw cartoons by herself.

She would involuntarily compare He Xi's comics with her own. The absolute gap between the two makes it impossible for Bai Han to pass her own level. However, her level is actually not bad—at least in the newcomer comics. at home. Bai Han should be a very good cartoonist.

"The editor told me that her comic is actually close to the level of serialization." Qin Ya said: "For a newcomer cartoonist, this is already a very big achievement, but no matter how much the editors praise her, Bai Han's thoughts on the work have changed. Being raised by you, she doesn't believe that she can draw well."

"I think she's thought about this difficulty now." Qin Ya looked at Meng Huo, thinking that she was lucky, at least she could keep up with Meng Huo's footsteps without feeling powerless.

Meng Huo frowned for Bai Han's matter: "Does the editorial department have any countermeasures?"

"I don't know about this... But I don't think there is any good solution. It's better to wait for the time to pass, and she will naturally think about it." Qin Ya shrugged. This is not a difficult problem to solve, but actually it is very simple, but needs time.

When Bai Han leaves He Xi's world and can look at Huaxia comics from a normal perspective, she will naturally regain her confidence.

"Okay, teacher...don't worry about Bai Han's affairs." Qin Ya looked at Meng Huo who was frowning, and said, "The more you care about it, the more troublesome it will become. If you ignore her, I think she will relax a bit. .”

Meng Huo was surprised: "You mean I also put pressure on her?"

"Of course, teacher, every time you ask her to prepare manga after get off work, and every time you ask her about the progress, although you are kind, but she will be more nervous after hearing it." Qin Ya nodded and said: "Teacher, you are the source of her pressure .”

In fact, if Meng Huo didn't care about Bai Han so much, Bai Han might not have such strict requirements on his cartoons. It is precisely because he is worried that drawing bad cartoons will disappoint Teacher He Xi that Bai Han refuses to listen to persuasion.

Meng Huo fell silent. Qin Ya was right. He shouldn't pay too much attention to the situation of the assistants, which would make them feel pressured.

"I see, let's not talk about it." Meng Huo nodded, then finished his break, and re-entered the animation production of "Idiot Test Summoned Beast".

Before he came back, the island studio had returned to its previous standard under the leadership of Qin Ya, so the animation progressed smoothly, and the premiere time and TV station had also been decided.

"Shakugan no Shana" premiered on TV Tokyo, and the premiere effect was very good, but after all, it was the team led by Bai Yan, and several TV stations wanted Meng Huo's work that was released by himself after half a year.

When the press conference of "Stupid Test Summoned Beast" just came out, CCTV, Suhua and Tokyo TV rushed to get the premiere of this animation, but this time Meng Huo's choice was a bit unexpected-he broadcast the premiere on CCTV , rather than the other two TV stations that are more intimate.

The biggest reason for this was that CCTV offered the highest price, millions of dollars per episode, and had already made a publicity plan, so Meng Huo couldn't refuse.

TV Tokyo already has "Shakugan no Shana", and there will be a "Genius Mahjong Girl" handed over to Suhua TV. The two TV stations have no complaints when they see the high price offered by CCTV.

And after CCTV bought "Idiot Quiz Summoned Beast", it did carry out the biggest publicity plan - it even made a prime-time interview with voice actors such as Shen Jie and Xia Chuanzhen.

"Idiot Quiz Summoned Beast" has a very luxurious lineup of voice actors. Makoto Natsukawa and Koko Takashima respectively dub the two heroines. Shen Jie is not the heroine, but she is also very conspicuous—even though she doesn't like that character.

"Bastard, you said that the dubbing role that fits my characteristics and can make my popularity rise rapidly-could it be this shemale character!?" When she first heard the news, she called and scolded Meng Huo.

"No, that's not a shemale." Meng Huo assured Shen Jie that the character was not a shemale. Shen Jie had only read the script book initially, so naturally she would not know the importance of that role.

This character is more popular than the protagonist in Meng Huo's world. It can even be said to be the most popular character in "The Stupid Test Summoned Beast". It is too inappropriate to describe him as a ladyboy—his gender is unique .

"And he has a special skill of imitating voices, which only you can match."

Meng Huo decided that only Shen Jie could dub the voice of this character well. Not only could she change the dubbing required by the character, but she could also show the character's ventriloquism. This will surely convince many audiences.

As long as Shen Jie dubs the voice of this character well, she will naturally become more popular because of this character. (To be continued.)
