Big Manga

"You can become the actual controller of a large company at the age of eighteen. Teacher He Xi is also very talented in business management..."

In Longteng Building, Li Ming put down the newspaper in his hand and said with a smile on his face: "Ye Xiong announced to the media two years ago that the age of He Xi was coming, and now that I think about it, he is indeed very prescient. For Mr. He Xi, Xu Jing entrusted the future of Phoenix Company to him, as if it was a matter of course."

Over the past few years, He Xi's development has really attracted people's attention. Li Ming's newspaper uses "Why Phoenix Company Chooses He Xi" as the title, and elaborates on He Xi's past experience.

He debuted as an original cartoonist, and changed the historical status of original comics in the first year. Today, China's original comics industry is larger than the adapted comics industry. He Xi then defeated Zhongxia and forced Zhongxia's company to open channels for "Weekly Boys" and "Weekly Girls". Then there was a long journey, and he still maintained his status as the number one cartoonist in China during the time he left.

And then, He Xi suddenly appeared in the Far Eastern District, bought Sakura Animation, and defeated Mantiantang... He opened up the comic market in the Far Eastern District for Phoenix Company with lightning speed, and blinded countless people's eyes. . But at the same time, he was also recognized and appreciated. He got the leadership of the Suhua area, and no one from Phoenix Company opposed it, which shows the high reputation.

"Only relying on this resume, Mr. He Xi can look down on Huaxia." Li Ming tapped his fingers on the table and said, "Do you think the program team of CCTV Spring Festival Gala will agree to my nomination?"

"Yes." The publishing director of Longteng Company sat on the sofa in Li Ming's office and said while making tea: "Mr. He Xi's resume is quite scary. CCTV just wants a special guest. Of course he can pass...but Li Ming, are you sure that Teacher He Xi will be willing to go to the Spring Festival Gala?"

The Spring Festival Gala is the whole Spring Festival Gala. This is a variety show held by China Central Television on New Year's Eve every year to celebrate the New Year. It is the variety show with the highest ratings in the world, the longest broadcast time, and the most actors in the world, and its influence is greater than any other program.

There is a saying in the entertainment circle that 'the Spring Festival Gala is the top stage for artists', as long as they can be on the Spring Festival Gala. Even if you were normal before. Then it will be famous all over the country.

Li Ming is not from the entertainment industry, but Longteng Company is the overlord of the industry. Every year, there will be a seat for special guests. The special guests are the elites in every industry. They can sit in front of the Spring Festival Gala stage to watch the performance and have the opportunity to accept the dialogue of the Spring Festival Gala host. Talk about some of the latest information about your industry and so on.

This year, the representative of Longteng Company is Li Ming. As a special guest, he has the right to recommend other guests to the Spring Festival Gala program group. Li Ming felt that power was useless, so he recommended Meng Huo. As long as the Spring Festival Gala program group passed the review, CCTV would invite Meng Huo to participate in the Spring Festival Gala.

Both Li Ming and the Minister of Publishing felt that Meng Huo had a high possibility of passing the review.

In the past few days, the personnel transfer announcement of Phoenix Company came out. It is a foregone conclusion that He Xi will become the new leader of the Phoenix Company. Countless people are paying attention to him. Coupled with the title of China's number one cartoonist, He Xi is fully qualified to appear on the stage of the Spring Festival Gala as a representative of the animation industry.

But it's a pity. The Spring Festival Gala program group doesn't seem to think so. They made a phone call to reject Li Ming's nomination with one reason: "This year's Spring Festival Gala invited a representative of the animation industry, and there is no need for a second one."

"CCTV invited someone else!?"

Li Ming was very surprised when he received the rejection, because no one from the animation circle had been invited to the Spring Festival Gala so far, so he thought he would be the first to make a suggestion.

"It's nothing strange." The Minister of Publishing was also surprised, but he quickly understood the reason: "CCTV looked down on this industry before, but animation companies have developed rapidly in the past two years. CCTV's invitation to others is at the right time, even if there is no one this year. , there will definitely be anime guests in the next two years..."

"But then again, who is that guest?"

he asked curiously.

"Needless to say, they must be representatives of those large companies in Zhongxia..."

Li Ming replied, but he was also very curious, so he asked someone to check it immediately, and it turned out to be an unfamiliar name.

"Jiang Tianshi...do you know this person?"

he asked the Minister of Publishing.

"Jiang Tianshi?" The publishing minister was taken aback for a moment, then stood up: "Of course I know him, he is the second young master of the Jiang family!"

"Jiang's family?" Li Ming frowned. Jiang is not a common surname in Huaxia, but he can be called Jiang's family. There is one beside him—a Jiang in the shareholder meeting of Longteng and Zhongxia. family.

Li Ming is just an editor-in-chief. He doesn't know much about the company's shareholders, but he knows one thing about the Jiang family. This is a big family with a long history and one of the giants of Huaxia Capital.

"Why are people from the Jiang family becoming special guests?"

He was very surprised, what does the Jiang family have to do with animation?

"It's very simple." The Minister of Publishing frowned slightly, and continued: "He is the first batch of graduates majoring in comics at Yenching University, and he is also the chief..."

"What?" Li Ming's eyes widened: "Chief graduate!?"

The chief means ranking first, and Li Xin, the most popular cartoonist in Zhongxia Company, did not rank among the top three in his graduation results.

"Jiang Tianshi... Tianshi... Could it be..."

Li Ming recited this name, his heart pounding. He remembered that a few years ago, before He Xi made his debut, the central government discovered a manga genius code-named 'Angel'.

"Jiang Tianshi? An angel..."

Li Ming frowned, these two could not be the same person, could they? That's not right, if it's the same person, why hasn't he made his debut yet?

"Jiang Tianshi is not a cartoonist..." As if seeing Li Ming's thoughts, the Minister of Publishing continued: "It is said that when he saw He Xi's works when he graduated, he said, 'No one can beat He Xi in the field of comics', and then He just walked away with the twins who were number two and number three ... and never knew what he was doing after that."

"Now that he's back, don't you think it's very interesting?" The Minister of Publishing smiled and said, "If he walks out of the CCTV Spring Festival Gala, maybe he can really fight against Teacher He Xi."

"The premise is a fair confrontation..." Li Ming's face was slightly cold: "He is from the Jiang family, the kind of conspiracy of the rich family..."

"No, don't think about it." The Minister of Publishing interrupted: "As far as I know, the two heirs of the Jiang family are very good. There has never been a rumor that the second son of the Jiang family has bullied others. Their big families treat their children He attaches great importance to his teachings, and his conduct is generally not bad...you don't have to worry about what Jiang Tianshi will do at all."

Li Ming was slightly stunned: "How do you know so clearly?"

"..." The Minister of Publishing touched his nose in embarrassment: "Actually, my uncle is working for the Jiang family, and their influence has penetrated into many places, definitely beyond your imagination."

But he was also a little strange. Why did the second young master of the Jiang family come out on his own initiative. Didn't he want to play with He Xi? Once out, there's bound to be friction between the two comic book geniuses.

"Teacher He Xi. No matter how rich he is, he is just an ordinary person. How could he let the Jiang family notice?"

The Minister of Publishing muttered in his heart, causing Meng Huo, who was having dinner with Xu Jing in the distance, to sneeze.

"What? You have a cold?"

Xu Jing asked with some concern.

"No, maybe someone is talking about me behind my back..." Meng Huo joked. Then he asked in a condensed voice: "You stay in Ning Hai, is that okay?"

After being busy for a few days, he finally had a chance to have a good chat with Xu Jing.

"No problem, Ninghai needs me, and I will help you if you have any requirements in Suhua." Xu Jing replied: "I am old, and I don't have that kind of hard work... I am not used to going to Suhua, either. I have been busy for most of my life. But work is no fun. I want to spend more time with my wife now, but I didn’t spend much time with her when I was young, and made her endure too much loneliness. This is a great regret in my life.”

"..."

Meng Huo smiled wryly. He rarely heard about the Xu family, but from the occasional words from Xu Jing and Alice, he could see the family's situation clearly.

Twenty years ago, Xu Jing accepted the homeless mother and daughter and worked hard for them. A few days ago, Alice's words were full of guilt towards Xu Jing. She said that their mother and daughter owed Xu Jing a lot, so they couldn't ignore Xu Jing's idea of ​​wanting a grandson, but now Xu Jing felt that he was working too hard and owed his wife ...

This family is so gentle.

"What? Don't you have confidence?" Xu Jing looked at Meng Huo who was thinking wildly, and thought he had no confidence in taking charge of Su Hua's work, so he comforted him: "Don't worry, your work in the extreme east is very good, As long as you do it at your own pace, the market development of Suhua City will not trouble you."

"It's not difficult..." Meng Huo came back to his senses, shrugged and said, "But after working in the Far East Region, I realized that controlling a company is really complicated."

He had felt this way before, but after being the president of Sakura Animation Company for nearly a year, Meng Huo realized how exhausting it is to lead a company.

"That's just because you don't have a good assistant." However, Xu Jing disagreed: "It's pretty good for you to do that in an unfamiliar area...This time is different from Sakura Company, the heads of our various departments will accompany you. You went over, and Alice also went to help you, you have reconciled, right?"

Looking at Meng Huo nodding, Xu Jing said with a smile: "Alice's ability is not bad. I sent several old employees to assist her. She should be able to take my place. I will leave the chores and daily work to her. You concentrate on going to work. Go forward, let me know if you have any difficulties, and I will go over to help."

In Xu Jing's heart, Phoenix Company is his child, but now it has two elders - he and Alice are one of them, and they exist as mothers to manage the health and daily life of the child "Phoenix" , and Meng Huo, as a father, led the child to run and thrive...

This model is very good, at least there will be no problems in Meng Huo and Alice's life. Maybe Phoenix Company will enter the throes of handover in a few decades, but that kind of thing is too far away. Meng Huo is only 18 years old this year, and Xu Jing may not be able to wait for him to hand over power to the next generation.

So now he is full of hope, looking forward to Meng Huo bringing Phoenix Company to the top of the world's comic companies.

"By the way, I heard from Alice that you are going to release a new manga, right?" Xu Jin thought about this again and asked, "Have you decided on the theme now?"

"No, not yet... I want to draw short comics, but I haven't found an idea yet." Meng Huo shook his head and said with a wry smile: "There are a lot of ideas for long comics, but I don't want to increase the pressure of updating."

Up to now, most of the manga released by Meng Huo have not been finished. He has published one after another long novels. Although he has assistants to help, he has to draw several manga at the same time every week, and the end date is still far away... He thinks he can’t Again, this will increase the burden casually, so short comics are better.

If he releases another full-length comic, such as "Dragon Ball", it will be serialized for more than ten years, it will be fatal.

"A long story and a short story are only in one thought." Hearing Meng Huo's complaint, Xu Jing smiled slightly: "Your thinking is too rigid, sometimes a long story can become a short story, you have ideas for a long story, but you don't No need for years and months of serialization." ()
