"Need some tea? Master."

"No, I've finished processing these documents, and I have to go to work."

In the office, Meng Huo handed Xia Ying a stack of documents and got up to leave.

"Master." Before he left, Xia Ying asked suddenly: "Has the time for Young Madam's return been decided?"

"Well, it's decided." Meng Huo called Xu Jing in the morning and formally decided on the future arrangement: "I'm sorry, you have only been here for two months, and you will have to travel with me to other places in the future."

"No, I'd love to."

Xia Ying smiled.

When Meng Huo came to the island studio, Qin Ya became happy when she saw him: "Mr. He Xi, did you read the script yesterday? How about my new theme?"

"Very good." Meng Huo praised: "This cartoon is more suitable for you than the previous one."

He took the time to read part of Qin Ya's script last night. Although he hasn't finished it yet, the theme and beginning are well written. The plot is more interesting than "Phoenix".

"Have you bought today's Zhongxia Daily?"

After sitting down, Meng Huo asked.

"Yes, teacher, did you forget to buy it?" Qin Ya took out the comic magazine from her bag and handed it to Meng Huo.

"Too busy this morning, no time to go shopping."

Meng Huo took the magazine and saw that "Legend of Sword and Fairy" appeared on the cover again, and there was an advertisement next to it: Super popular new work - three consecutive weeks!

"As expected of the cartoonist you like, teacher, that Zhao Mei is not a fuel-efficient lamp." Qin Ya praised: "This is the third week in a row that she has ranked first. In this magazine, "Legend of Sword and Fairy "It is simply an invincible work."

Meng Huo nodded, but he was not very happy. The release frequency of "Zhongxia Daily" is very high, and the cover said it was the first for three consecutive weeks. In fact, it should refer to "Legend of Sword and Fairy" ranking first on the day it was serialized, not to say that it ranked first among all the serialized comics of Zhongxia Company.

Now Zhongxia's top manga is still Jingyue's work, followed by Angel, and "Legend of Sword and Fairy" has just reached fifth.

This fifth place was achieved by relying on Zhao Mei's painting skills. During this period, newspapers, news, and even readers' discussions on "Legend of Sword and Fairy" basically revolved around Zhao Mei. The original author of 'Kirin' is rarely paid attention to.

There is no way. As a beautiful girl cartoonist, Zhao Mei is very eye-catching. Coupled with her drawing skills and her original popularity, she is now attracting even more attention.

In comparison, Qilin is a writer who is mysterious, has no background, and has not even shown much 'talent'. Naturally, people are not interested in him, and it is already very good not to scold him too badly.

"The future of this comic is so worrisome... If it goes on like this, when will it surpass angels!" Meng Huo couldn't help shaking his head after reading the comic.

The quality of this issue of "Legend of Sword and Fairy" is still the same, but the progress is still too slow.

"The teacher said that "Legend of Sword and Fairy" can surpass the works of angels?" Qin Ya, who was drawing at the side, heard Meng Huo's words. I looked over in surprise.

"That's right." Meng Huo asked strangely, "Is there any problem?"

"What's the problem..." Qin Ya was quite speechless: "Does the teacher really think that "Legend of Sword and Fairy" can surpass angels? Although it is a good work, it is true, but the teacher's expectations may be too high .”

Because of Meng Huo, she has been paying attention to "Legend of Sword and Fairy" for a few weeks. Although the manga is good, it is too exaggerated for it to surpass angels—doesn't that mean that Zhao Mei is better than her?

"Beyond angels should be no problem." Meng Huo didn't change his mind.

It's not that he looks down on angels, but that angels' attention to comics has become less and less in recent years. They have focused on animation and animated movies, and now they are busy with "One Piece". Comics are no longer the focus, and there's no sign of even launching a new one.

In this situation. It is a matter of course that "Legend of Sword and Fairy" should surpass angels. If even a careless opponent cannot be defeated,

Then Meng Huo didn't have to bother arranging vests in Zhongxia Company, he just gave up.

"What about Jingyue?" Qin Ya laughed: "Teacher, you are so optimistic about the comic combination of "Legend of Sword and Fairy" and Qilin, don't you think that Jingyue will also be surpassed by them?"

"Mirror Moon..." Meng Huo pondered for a moment: "There may be a chance in the future, but this comic is not yet possible."

He dare not underestimate Lisa, Lisa's painting skills will never lose to Zhao Mei. In addition, she has gathered a lot of popularity through many excellent short comics, her foundation is solid, and her readers' trust is very high, almost second only to He Xi.

Nowadays in China, if you mention the name of a cartoonist, you can convince readers that this cartoon is a good work. Besides He Xi, there is only Jingyue.

Even after "Legend of Sword and Fairy" is over, its plot shock can be more profound than Jingyue's works, but with this work, Meng Huo is not confident that Qilin can catch up with Jingyue.

Mirror Moon has a solid foundation, and Kirin needs time to cultivate readers and fans, and it is unlikely to fight against Mirror Moon in a short time.

"Of course it's impossible." Seeing Meng Huo's answer like this, Qin Ya finally felt at ease. She thought Meng Huo had blind trust in Qilin, but now it seems that he is still reasonable.

"How can Qilin surpass Jingyue." Qin Ya raised her brows: "Jingyue's strong opponent is not this newcomer group, but you, teacher, don't be too leisurely, teacher—that is a terrifying opponent."

"Why do you say that?"

Meng Huo was surprised that Qin Ya would say this.

"Because she is a beautiful woman." Qin Ya said solemnly: "Once her true identity is revealed, her popularity will skyrocket, and it will be no problem if her popularity doubles. Then she will be able to stand on the same level and challenge the teacher. is you."

Meng Huo was stunned, and immediately frowned. Qin Ya's words sounded exaggerated, but thinking about it carefully, it was not an exaggeration at all.

The revealing of the cartoonist's true identity is not only as simple as letting the original fans know you, it also has a strong publicity effect, especially for a cartoonist with characteristics, once the identity is revealed, all major media will pay close attention to it, and the popularity will double. very common thing.

Take the revelation of Meng Huo's identity back then as an example. He became famous almost overnight, because of his amazing youth and appearance, as well as the background of the story, all the media reported on it. As a result, not only comic readers, but also many ordinary people began to pursue him.

In his hometown Qingcheng, not many people knew him. People don't read manga either. But after his identity was revealed, no one didn't know him. It can be said that he was no longer a "cartoonist" at that time, but a star.

Meng Huo's popularity has not only increased several times through the process of 'revealing his identity', it is possible that the number of people who know the name 'He Xi' has increased by ten times.

As for Lisa now, the situation she is facing is almost the same as that of Meng Huo back then, and her own conditions are no worse than Meng Huo's.

A cartoonist who has no face, no story, and no specific topics may reveal his identity, but it will only dim after a while. But Lisa is obviously not, her appearance, country, story - all are full of topics and attractive things. And she has never said that she is a woman. If this gender is exposed, it will be a hotter topic than Meng Huo's back then.

Now in the comics world, Lisa's popularity is second only to He Xi's. After revealing her identity, Lisa's popularity will grow terrifyingly, and her popularity will catch up with He Xi in a short time.

"So that's how it is...so that's how it is..."

Meng Huo suddenly knew the reason why Lisa chose cooking as the subject of her new comic. She might want to use this opportunity to catch up with him in one go, and then beat him with this comic that is more suitable for "Chinese people's taste"!

After the identity is revealed. Lisa will usher in the most precious golden time, if she uses this period to release comics that surpass her previous works. She will become even more popular, her popularity will leap several steps, and she will firmly lock in readers without losing them.

But this is also a risk. If she fails at this time, the publicity effect will soon pass. Let Lisa return to her current popularity level, and want to catch up with Meng Huo in the future. She will have to wait a long time.

The suspense of Jingyue's true identity—now Lisa's biggest weapon, if used well, it is a weapon that can catch up with Meng Huo.

"...This little sister-in-law is quite ambitious..."

Meng Huo thought to himself, but he didn't hate it, he admired Lisa's ambition very much.

He thought in his heart that he had to help Jingyue. Let her become hotter and hotter after she comes out-"Legend of Sword and Fairy" is a little bit slower, Qilin needs several years of training time, and now Jingyue can reverse Zhongxia's decline ahead of schedule.

"How do we do this?"

Meng Huo thought so, and then he didn't continue to discuss this topic with Qin Ya. At noon, he used his rest time to continue working.

And just like yesterday, Qin Ya packed lunch for him.

"Teacher He Xi, I heard Miss Alice is coming back?"

After putting the lunch on the table, Qin Ya looked very happy.

"Yes." Meng Huo nodded, "Where did you know that?"

"I met Miss He Qian at dinner just now, and she told me..." Qin Ya suddenly looked at Meng Huo suspiciously: "The timing is so coincidental, isn't that woman before Miss Alice?"

"Of course not..." Meng Huo shook his head.

"But they look too much alike, just like sisters... Huh? What did I just say?" Qin Ya realized what she had said when she said it. Her eyes lit up and she felt that she was too smart: "Could it be possible? Are they really sisters?"

Meng Huo was stunned.

"Absolutely right...Miss Alice also said to visit relatives when she left. That woman must have something to do with her. The two of them are not real sisters but also cousins!" Qin Ya thought more and more right, and clapped her hands and said: "Otherwise, teacher, you How did you know she was Mirror Moon? Miss Alice must have told you, right?"

Qin Ya stared at Meng Huo enthusiastically. She always thought it was strange that Meng Huo knew Jingyue's identity, but if Lisa and Alice were sisters, then all this would make sense.

"...you're so clever." Meng Huo nodded. Now that he had guessed it, he had no choice but to admit, "That woman is Alice's younger sister and also a cartoonist."

Qin Ya's eyes became brighter and brighter: "It's amazing, Miss Alice's younger sister is actually Jingyue!"

"Don't tell others." Meng Huo reminded that this matter will no longer be a secret after a while, but it cannot be revealed yet.

"I'm tight-lipped."

Qin Ya was very satisfied when she got the answer.

"But teacher, since Jingyue is Miss Alice's younger sister, why don't you recruit her to our company?" She then asked.

In her mind, if Jingyue was Alice's younger sister, Phoenix Company would definitely use this reason to win her over.

"She won't come. Zhongxia has been kind to Jingyue in nurturing her." Meng Huo shook his head, and then said, "And she can play a greater role in Zhongxia than in our company."

Qin Ya thought it was the same, Phoenix Company is now stronger than Zhongxia Company, Jingyue will not only be considered ungrateful, but she will also have to give up her position of being the 'No. .

Although she has never met Jingyue, Qin Ya has read her cartoons for several years, and knows that she is a person who refuses to admit defeat. She is different from herself, and she will not be willing to come to Phoenix Company to be a "second" cartoonist.

"It's a pity...but forget it, Miss Alice is coming back, I have to celebrate!" Qin Ya looked delighted, and said: "She has been gone for a long time this time, and when she comes back, teacher, you can also change Take it easy."

"easy?"

"That's right, when Ms. Alice was here, she was the boss of the company... Now her work is on you and Mr. Xu. When she comes back, your work will be reduced."

Qin Ya was very happy. At that time, Meng Huo would have more time to work with her.

"..." Meng Huo hesitated for a moment, stopped the chopsticks in his hand, and said, "Qin Ya, I have something to tell you."

"What?" Qin Ya happily poured Meng Huo tea.

"After Alice comes back, I probably won't work here..."

Sooner or later, Meng Huo decided to remind Qin Ya: "I will be away for one to two years, and then you will be the director of the island studio."

"boom……"

Qin Ya's teapot fell to the ground, spilled water on the table, and even splashed Meng Huo's clothes.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry..." Qin Ya hurriedly took out a tissue and wiped Meng Huo's clothes: "But it's all the teacher's fault, so don't suddenly joke around at a time like this..."

"I'm not joking." Meng Huo thought Qin Ya was shocked by the sudden appointment.

He smiled and said, "You're fine. I've been watching you for the past few years. Every time I have something to do, you are the one who leads everyone to make animations. It's been so long, and now you can guide the island studio independently."

"I'm not talking about this..." Qin Ya stopped her hands. She lowered her head and held Meng Huo's clothes, her voice was a little cold: "Teacher, are you leaving again?" (To be continued.)
