Big Manga

After staying at home for half a day, Meng Huo set off for Tokyo. ;

This time Alice didn't go with him, but he still lived in that apartment. After a night's rest in the apartment, he started working the next day.

The production of the first episode of "Mobile Suit Gundam 00" has started, and the preparations in the early stage have been sufficient. The artist's pen has also been freed from the inertia of "Detective Conan". The long-term production of the same animation has made them a little bit Tired, this new animation brings a new feeling, all motivated.

However, the animation production went smoothly, and even Meng Huo was concerned about the progress of the animation songs. The songs of "Mobile Suit Gundam 00" had been handed over to a professional music team two weeks ago, and each song was also assigned a voice actor. But there is no news of the completion of the recording.

One day, Meng Huo went to find Takako Takashima for this matter.

When she found her, Takako Takashima was standing on the phone in the aisle overlooking the city street with a good view. Her back was facing Meng Huo, so she didn't notice him immediately. Meng Huo was about to shout, but before he approached Takako Takashima, he was surprised by what she said on the phone.

"Yes, we bought one of his mistresses. The mistress said that she had seen a few comics he kept, but those comics seemed to be unfinished, and they looked a bit like waste manuscripts that others didn't want..." Takako Takashima said on the phone Li was talking, but what she said made Meng Huo confused.

"We investigated his trajectory after he came to the Far East, and found no doubts. We can be sure that the original owners of those comics should not be residents of the Far East. The most likely thing is that he brought them from Europe... The things over there are our capabilities. It's limited, it's better for you to investigate it yourself, Miss Alice..."

"...Yes. I will send the specific information to your mailbox. Including his first flight to the Far East. I think this information should allow you to lock in the scope of the investigation..."

After Meng Huo arrived, Takako Takashima talked on the phone for two minutes. After she hung up the phone, she turned around and saw that Meng Huo was obviously shocked: "Mr. He Xi, why are you here!"

"Just came." Meng Huo looked surprised: "You were talking on the phone with Alice just now? What are you talking about?"

After listening for two minutes, he still couldn't hear what Alice and Takako Takashima were investigating, but he knew it was related to manga. Takako Takashima put the phone in her pocket and explained with a wry smile that she hadn't planned to tell Meng Huo about it. But since she was discovered, she could only tell the truth, it was not a secret anyway.

After hearing this, Meng Huo roughly understood what happened: "That means that Alice didn't sign a contract with that animation company when she came to Yokohama last time, and also found that the source of their animation was suspicious, so you started investigating?"

"Yes." Takako Takashima nodded: "But there is no result of the investigation yet, it just pulls the clues away."

This investigation has already been carried to Europe. If you want to know who the original author of "The Land of Ice and Fire" is, you can only start from the source of Pine Gate. As for the investigation in Europe, Takako Takashima felt that he should conduct it by himself. It's better to let Alice do it - she is also of Western descent anyway, and she must know more Europeans than Takako Takashima.

Meng Huo understood. Then I was a little curious: "Is Alice actually optimistic about other animations?"

Alice has been by his side for many years, but there are quite few works that can catch her eye, let alone this kind of investigation. Meng Huo believes that if it is just an ordinary and excellent animation, Alice will definitely not investigate it on purpose, so the animation she is willing to investigate the original author must not be a simple animation.

That might be another talented cartoonist.

"But Europe..."

However, thinking about the place, Meng Huo still shook his head. Even if there are such powerful cartoonists in Europe, the possibility of Phoenix Company getting it is very small. The first is the difference in region and sense of belonging, and the second is the control of people—Meng Huo thought that old scholars like Anthony would not give up such an excellent cartoonist.

So this incident was superficially interesting, but Meng Huo didn't have any expectations for it, and threw it to the back of his mind.

"How is the song recording of "Mobile Suit Gundam 00"..."

He turned his mind back to work.

However, at the same moment, in the meeting room of Matsudo Animation Company in Yokohama, there was a guest that neither Meng Huo nor Alice expected—a representative sent by Zhongxia Company, and sitting between them was Yang Liang. The big screen in the conference room is playing the demo of "The Kingdom of Ice and Fire". The demo has not been finished yet, but many people have seen the excellence of this work.

"It's a rare and excellent animation, Minister." A young man wearing glasses said softly beside Yang Liang: "I also read the manuscript and script just now. The potential of this animation is very high. Our company may only be surpassed by angels." It ... I think it should be signed to this company."

"I agree." Another young man agreed: "We can't just rely on "Sherlock". Mr. He Xi will release several new animations this year. into a passive state."

Midsummer’s success once in a while, but it’s only temporary. He Xi’s "Mobile Suit Gundam 00" will be released soon. After more than two months, "Light Sound Girl" will end and there will be a new animation, and "Pet" will be released in half a year. The end of Little Elf will also be a painful period for Midsummer.

They want to keep the scene, and at this time they have to dig out more and better quality animations. "The Kingdom of Ice and Fire" is a pleasant surprise. Although its quality cannot be compared with He Xi, it can still form a huge boost to Zhongxia Company. If there are more such high-quality animations, Zhongxia Company will not be afraid. up.

Yang Liang frowned slightly. He glanced at the people from Songmen Animation Company sitting on the other side, and then whispered: "But they invited Phoenix Company before, and Phoenix Company didn't give them an answer. There must be a reason... I just now After looking at the information, I found that the author of "The Kingdom of Ice and Fire" turned out to be the major shareholder, and did not participate in the creation of the details—I suspect that there is something wrong with its author."

He inadvertently guessed the truth, but if he didn't know that Phoenix Company rejected Songmen Animation, Yang Liang wouldn't have such doubts.

"The minister is worried that something will happen?" asked the young man with glasses.

"En." Yang Liang nodded: "This major shareholder is also unwilling to meet with us, I think he has a problem."

The young man with glasses laughed immediately: "Minister, you are too cautious—we are not Phoenix Company, so what's the trouble? As long as you get the animation, even if something happens in the future, you still worry that others can beat us? This Songmen animation may not even be worthy of carrying shoes for our company!"

Yang Liang was taken aback, this is true, how can the influence and power behind Zhongxia Company be comparable to that of Phoenix Company? If you don't try to channel righteousness, and turn a blind eye to win the animation, no matter how awesome "Nation of Ice and Fire" is in the future, it will be impossible to pour dirty water on Zhongxia.

Even if things get serious, Zhongxia has a professional team of lawyers who can fight back—"It's not that Zhongxia made a mistake, but that Songmen Animation didn't explain the matter clearly and deceived them."

"kindness……"

After thinking for a while, Yang Liang felt that he could settle the matter. He didn't have time, maybe Phoenix Company is investigating the truth of this animation right now, but if they wait for the results of their investigation, Zhong Xia will have no chance, and "Nation of Ice and Fire" will definitely be transferred to Phoenix Company.

"It must be taken down first!"

Yangliang secretly thought that in order to prevent nights from having many dreams, he signed a long-term cooperation contract with Songmen Animation as a representative of Zhongxia Company shortly thereafter.

In this contract, Zhongxia Company will provide "Nation of Ice and Fire" with support in various aspects such as funds, songs, voice actors, and animation promotion and broadcast channels, and the final proceeds will be handed over after deducting various expenses. For Songmen Animation Company, Zhong Xia only received the remaining part of the profit.

Songmen Animation Company was overjoyed, this contract was more satisfactory than they expected, it can be said that it was a pie in the sky.

Of course, Zhongxia is not a philanthropist. Yangliang put forward a very harsh condition: that is, in the future, the animation works of Songmen Animation can only be launched by Zhongxia Company, and they are not allowed to cooperate with other people-and the liquidated damages for violating this condition are very high. Many, enough to bankrupt Songmen Animation.

It's not that Songmen Animation Company didn't think about it, but under the temptation of huge profits, they quickly agreed to this condition. In fact, the cooperation with Zhongxia Company is not harmful to them at all, because they can't make the company grow to the size of Zhongxia even after spending their entire lives.

This is a contract that both parties are happy with.

"Cheers to our cooperation!"

After the contract was signed, Songmen Animation Company invited representatives of Zhongxia Company to celebrate at the hotel—they had money, and the hotel chose the best ones.

"cheers!"

Yangliang and the others enjoyed the dinner contentedly.

In this contract, Zhongxia Company is also the winner. On the surface, it seems that they are wasting money, but monopolizing the animation of Songmen Company is actually equivalent to buying the company. Although this company may not be able to make a lot of money for Zhongxia, the influence brought by its animation will be a dowry to Zhongxia and its two cooperative TV stations.

"I'll help you choose the voice actors as soon as I get back, and you don't have to worry about the songs." Yang Liang said to the staff of Songmen Company: "But you have to speed up the progress, I hope to see the feature film of "The Kingdom of Ice and Fire" in August , and let it premiere before September!"

There is plenty of time, so no one in Songmen has any objections. The people in this company were all very excited, and even after seeing off Yang Liang and his party at night, the president of Songmen Animation expressed emotion at the airport: "The lady from Phoenix Company is too stingy, and the people from Zhongxia Company are just different. See how generous Mr. Yang Liang is!" (to be continued...) R527
