Big Manga

It took Shen Jie a day to lure the two roommates back to school.

On Sunday, the Phoenix Company has a collective holiday. Some departments have worked continuously for two weeks. No matter how high the overtime pay is, it cannot compensate for the resentment of the employees.

Meng Huo also didn't have to go to work, which made Shen Jie happy. She planned to do something, but just after breakfast, Meng Huo put on his coat and went out.

"What are you going to do?"

Shen Jie followed up and asked.

"Go to meet a CCTV director." Meng Huo turned around and replied, "She wants the animation copyright of "Detective Conan", I have to meet her."

To prove his words, Meng Huo showed Shen Jie his business card and asked, "Is there anything else you need?"

"No." Shen Jie looked very disappointed.

She felt that she had been hit, but even if she knew that Meng Huo was avoiding her on purpose, Shen Jie still couldn't stop him from working. She didn't want to make Meng Huo angry.

"Bon Voyage."

With a forced smile, Shen Jie stood at the door and watched Meng Huo leave.

She was very sad. Although she could ask for leave from school, it was actually very difficult to spend two days a week with Meng Huo.

Shen Jie's life is very busy. During the five working days, she took one day off to dub for Phoenix Company, and she had to learn singing skills with Huang Ye every day. Usually, in order to prevent her from falling behind others in her studies, this girl only gets less than five hours of sleep.

But Shen Jie never felt that such a life was bad, as long as she could be with Meng Huo during the holidays, no matter how busy she was, she would be willing. It's a pity that they didn't have much contact these two days, which made Shen Jie feel empty. She wasted two days in vain.

She will go back to school in the afternoon. But obviously...Meng Huo will not come back.

Phoenix Company. Except for a few security guards and the girls at the front desk, the whole building was very quiet.

Meng Huo met Su Yuhua, the female director of CCTV animation here. She was a capable woman who wore glasses and looked about thirty years old, but her actual age might be over forty.

After saying hello, the two talked about animation.

"I want to ask first." Meng Huo asked first: "The animation of "Detective Conan\

,"Is this what you or the CCTV animation team mean? "

Su Yuhua glanced at Meng Huo unexpectedly. Smiling: "Ms. He Xi is young, but her way of thinking is very similar to that of adults. Frankly speaking, the animation of "Detective Conan" is indeed the decision of the entire animation team."

"Ms. He Xi's "Pokemon" was treated unfairly at the beginning. This is our mistake. We want to express our apology to you through this new animation."

Su Yuhua's words sounded very comfortable.

But Meng Huo couldn't fully accept this statement. CCTV wanted to apologize to him. Why didn't they directly apologize or express it in other ways, but wanted to adapt his animation?

It seems to be taken for granted, but the popularity of "Pokemon" has caused many media to question CCTV animation. They want the copyright of "Detective Conan", perhaps also to clean up their own stains.

However, Su Yuhua's attitude was still polite, so Meng Huo didn't think about it. No matter what the purpose of CCTV is, it is not wrong to ask him to cooperate.

"How are you going to buy "Detective Conan"?"

Meng Huo asked.

"1.5 million per episode. A one-time buyout." Su Yuhua quoted a figure. The price of 2 million is very good for ordinary comics, but it's a bit low for "Detective Conan".

"Can it be divided?"

Meng Huo asked.

"A share?" Su Yuhua immediately refused: "We don't accept a share, how about 2 million? This is the highest price, and we still have to adapt and produce animations, and the budget is not enough."

Her expression was solemn, and the next step was the main event. In fact, the price was not nailed down at two million. Su Yuhua said a lower price at first, and then Meng Huo would definitely increase the price.

This is a process of bargaining and compromise, which used to be very troublesome. However, Su Yuhua did not expect that Meng Huo's answer would be - "Okay, the price is fine, but I have conditions."

Hearing this sentence, Su Yuhua shook his head in his heart. After all, he is a child, and he will believe a number when others say it.

"Tell me, what are the conditions?"

"Let me be the assistant director..." Meng Huo said slowly, "I will be solely responsible for the soundtrack. As long as you agree to these two conditions, I will hand over "Detective Conan" to you."

He didn't care how much profit "Detective Conan" could make, 2 million, Meng Huo could accept this figure, but he was very worried that CCTV would make the animation worse.

The best way, of course, is to participate in it and watch it yourself.

"Associate director?" But Su Yuhua's face turned cold after hearing the conditions: "Mr. He Xi, the deputy director of CCTV will not be handed over to others casually. Take this sentence back..."

"As for the soundtrack, we have a very good music team, and that doesn't require your involvement."

Su Yuhua looked at Meng Huo's slightly frowned eyebrows, and continued to add: "I think you may have misunderstood, we want the animation copyright of "Detective Conan", including the follow-up value of the animation, music, live-action movies, etc..."

"We want to buy it all at once."

Meng Huo was stunned: "What do you mean... Do I only have the copyright of comics left?"

"You still have a game copyright."

Su Yuhua replied indifferently, Meng Huo was almost laughed out of anger, this is not an animation, CCTV took all the copyright, it is a robbery!

"Sorry." He said, "I don't agree to your conditions."

"No?" Su Yuhua's face became even colder: "I suggest that Mr. He Xi think about it carefully. It is an honor for your animation to be broadcast on CCTV."

"We have the largest audience and the best channels. As long as "Detective Conan" is broadcast on CCTV, Mr. He Xi, you will become a well-known cartoonist in China."

"Although we do not belong to the same department as CCTV News, we still have contact with each other on a daily basis. Teacher He Xi can do more advertisements."

Her eyes looked at Meng Huo with a half-smile. It is impossible for this young man not to know how much benefit the news brought to Phoenix Company last time. How could he refuse the temptation.

"If Teacher He Xi is unwilling, then we have no choice but to find a cartoonist from Zhongxia Company."

Su Yuhua used both soft and hard, which made

Meng Huo was very upset, she wanted to threaten him?

Indeed, he has seen the power of CCTV news, but is that news easily accessible? If it weren't for the sales miracle of "Five Centimeters Per Second", even if it was on the news, it would have much impact.

"Tom and Jerry Couple" has been broadcast on CCTV news many times, but the result is still not as good as "Pokemon". Publicity is very important, but what is more important is strength, and Meng Huo doesn't like to show his face. There are too many CCTV news, and he doesn't want it yet.

It took only half a year for Meng Huo to come from nothing to the present. His future is still very long, even if the speed is a little slower, in one or two years, China's comics market must be that he is the blue ocean, and he needs the support of CCTV?

The company has gone through the most dangerous moment, and Meng Huo is now full of confidence.

"You can find whoever you like..." He replied: "If I can't participate in the production and supervision of "Detective Conan", I won't sell it."

Su Yuhua was furious at Meng Huo's words. He reminded this young man that he was still so stubborn. Should he be stupid or stupid?

She sneered.

"Teacher He Xi, I don't think you understand the situation yet."

"Do you really think that you are the number one cartoonist in China? If so, then you are very wrong! If "Pokemon" hadn't caused controversy, our CCTV animation department would not have chosen your cartoon at all."

When she said this, Meng Huo fully understood that, as expected, the starting point of CCTV was still for themselves.

But Su Yuhua's words didn't stop.

"Zhongxia Company has been established for a few months. Teacher He Xi is very aware of its strength, but you must not know one thing." Su Yuhua raised his eyebrows and said: "The elite cartoonists of Zhongxia Manga have not yet come out. They launched The serialized cartoons are the works of ordinary cartoonists."

"The first batch of cartoon graduates from Yenching University is the highest-quality group, especially the top ten are all elites. I have seen the works of the fourth cartoonist. His drawing skills are definitely not half inferior to yours, Mr. He Xi. !"

Meng Huo was stunned.

There was a turmoil in his heart, Su Yuhua's words might be true. Meng Huo had felt this way a long time ago. The Zhongxia Company was aggressive, but it was strange that there were no outstanding cartoonists.

This is obviously abnormal, and Zhongxia Comics did not spend resources to praise a cartoonist's actions. For them, it should be very simple to make a cartoonist famous.

They didn't do this, and Meng Huo always wondered if it was because outstanding cartoonists hadn't come out yet. After the establishment of Zhongxia Company, the first thing to do is to enrich the library and develop magazine readers.

Relying on the dense bookstore channels, Zhongxia has already completed this step. If it wants to develop further, it is about time to launch a signature cartoonist.

"Don't underestimate those few elites. Zhongxia Company has equipped each of them with a studio, which is responsible for researching their comic content and marketing. The launch of the new series will definitely cause a sensation in the market."

"They may not be as familiar with the content as you, but there is a team behind them. Teacher He Xi, you have no chance of winning!"

Su Yuhua warned.

"If those cartoonists come out, and we choose their cartoons to make animations. Then Mr. He Xi, you are very dangerous. You are not as good as them in terms of funds, channels, and promotion..."

"Teacher He Xi, think about it carefully, you only have a chance to survive when they come out by handing over "Detective Conan" to us!"

But Meng Huo was no longer listening to Su Yuhua's words, and Zhongxia still had a powerful cartoonist who didn't show up. This incident attracted his attention.

What kind of person will it be?

Meng Huo wanted to meet these people very much, and he even wondered if there were any powerful cartoonists in other regions of Huaxia.

"It seems that I still have to work hard..."

Meng Huo surged with new fighting spirit. (To be continued..)
