Big Manga

Time is running out, Meng Huo began to prepare "Pokemon".

Although he had done it once, Meng Huo was more prepared this time. He spent half of the day on it, and the life of Teacher Tomato and Hua Meng was not good.

The two cartoonists had to come to work in the afternoon and could not go home until midnight. Even to save time, Meng Huo also combined the work of "Detective Conan" and "Inuyasha" together, and the three of them often rushed to draft together.

This kind of high-intensity work put a lot of burden on Tomato and Teacher Huameng, but strangely, the two didn't have any complaints, and even seemed very happy.

Meng Huo was very surprised by this phenomenon, but Li Qin laughed at him when he heard his question.

"You're still young, you'll understand when you grow up."

What she said made Meng Huo even more surprised. What did he not understand? He observed for a few more days, and then realized that there was something in Li Qin's words. Teacher Tomato and Hua Meng always peeked at each other at work, and they fell in love with each other!

"What do you take my job for?"

Meng Huo couldn't laugh or cry. He always thought that Teacher Hua Meng had a husband, so he didn't think about it. After knowing the truth, Meng Huo found that there was always a strange atmosphere in the study room. Tomato and Hua Meng sat on both sides and glanced around, and he felt uncomfortable sitting in the middle.

However, this situation also brought an advantage. No matter how heavy the task Meng Huo ordered, these two people would willingly complete it. They even asked to work overtime several times in order to stay longer.

Meng Huo was so happy.

Time flies to January, during this period, Shen Jie called to see him. Meng Huo refused several times and suddenly realized that the child was homesick again.

He felt that Shen Jie was quite pitiful, but he couldn't spare the time, so he asked Li Qin to bring some fruit to visit Shen Jie.

As a result, that night, Shen Jie sent a text message and scolded: "Who is homesick, you are homesick!"

She ignored Meng Huo for several days.

Meng Huo felt that she was being blunt and didn't care. He concentrated on painting, and the original drawing of "Pokemon" came to an end.

In his memory, there were many people who questioned that the animation of "Pokemon" was not good enough, but Meng Huo didn't think that the animation of "Pokemon" in the early stage was quite good, and the story was interesting. This animation has been released one after another, and the style changes in the later period make people feel boring.

Of course, Meng Huo is preparing to produce the first part this time, and the overall plot is not much different from the original. It is worth mentioning that he has repaired some characters.

The original "Pokemon" was launched in the 1990s, and the character painting style of the first part cannot be separated from the era. But that style of painting obviously didn't suit Meng Huo's current style, so he didn't make much changes, just beautified it a little.

For example, for the protagonist Xiaozhi, Meng Huo removed the redundant lines on his face and changed his outline a little. The image is closer to the special edition of the manga. It doesn't look very handsome, but it makes people like it more and more.

As for the elves, Meng Huo didn't make any changes, he thought they were already very cute.

After finishing the manuscript setting, Meng Huo started the next step.

The production of an animation takes a long time, but the proportion of formal production is not large, but the various preparation stages, including but not limited to planning review, budget calculation, script production, character and background drawing setting, personnel arrangement Wait, a random process can waste months of time for animation production companies,

It is normal for an animation to have an interval of more than half a year from the proposal of the planning to the official production.

Phoenix's approach is more straightforward and violent.

Xu Jing handed over the decision-making power of animation production to Meng Huo. After the plan was approved and the script was completed, Meng Huo, as the boss and the original case, gave the green light to cheat himself all the way. After handing over his original manuscript to Li Hua and Zhong Yue, These two people who are familiar with animation production also praised it one after another.

"Teacher He Xi, there is no need to change the character and elf settings, they can be used directly."

"The story is also good. We can start working when the company allocates funds!"

The issue of funding has been controversial. Funding is the cost, and the cost of animation production is very high. Meng Huo does not need to pay additional copyright buyout fees for launching animations, so Lin Mingzhe, the financial director, generously gave a budget of 200,000 yuan per episode.

Now in the Chinese animation industry, the cost per episode is basically between 50,000 and 150,000 yuan, and special themes or popular animations can have more than 200,000 yuan in funding. Both Li Hua and Zhong Yue are satisfied with this funding, only Meng Huo disagrees.

"I want three hundred thousand."

His request made Lin Mingzhe frown. Based on his previous good impression, Lin Mingzhe asked Meng Huo why.

"I want to do a good job of this animation, and I can't lag behind Zhongxia Company too much in terms of funding."

Meng Huo answered in this way, how far Phoenix Company has been forced by Zhongxia Company recently, can be explained by a phenomenon. In Ninghai, there is basically no news about Phoenix in various newspapers, posters, and TV media.

As soon as the Zhongxia comics came out, Phoenix seemed to be forgotten by the world. Ninghai is the headquarters of Phoenix, and other places are even worse.

Moreover, after investigation, Meng Huo found that Zhongxia Company and Tianhui Animation had started producing new animations half a month ago. Zhongxia worked on two prongs, and at the same time occupied a leading position in the comics and animation industries.

They are rich and powerful, and animation funds are very high, which cannot be measured by market standards.

If it wasn't for the 300,000 yuan animated version of "Pokemon", Meng Huo might have asked for more.

"Tianhui..." Lin Mingzhe's attitude changed when he heard this word: "Okay, 300,000 is 300,000!"

"Teacher He Xi, you must make animations that surpass theirs!"

The Phoenix Company has made a lot of money in the past six months, and Lin Mingzhe is willing to increase funding if he can see Li Tianhui suffer.

The funding problem was resolved, and the animation production began to enter the preparatory stage of implementation. Meng Huo did not involve in specific work. Li Hua and Zhong Yue were in charge of personnel allocation and arrangement, while Meng Huo was responsible for guiding the content of the animation as planned.

It was a complicated job, and he had to stare at almost every place. After several weeks of running-in, other painters made the settings of characters and elves to the point where Meng Huo was satisfied.

"Pokemon" can be officially started. At the request of Xu Jing, Huayue Company completed the name change and changed it to "Phoenix Company Huayue Animation Department", inheriting the company's logo, a phoenix reborn from the ashes.

First of all, they wanted to make a trailer for "Pokemon", and at the same time, they could officially announce Phoenix Company's entry into the animation industry. Although it was a trailer, they needed a lot of things, and Meng Huo had a new trouble.

He wanted to choose a voice actor, but there were relatively few voice actors in Huaxia, and after the invitation letter was sent out, most of the voice actors rejected it.

"Tianhui Company is also making animations, so it's going to be a voice actor for you at this time, isn't this a bad luck for them?"

A voice actor replied.

(Thanks to the tcbb stranger for the reward!)
