Big Manga

On Friday, after get off work, the artists in the animation department did not leave in a hurry, but did a final check on "Lelouch the Rebellion".

It is said to be an inspection, but in fact, everyone sat in the screening room and watched the finished animation. There are dubbing and songs in the animation. This is a complete animation after layers of inspection, and it is basically impossible to have any problems.

And sure enough, dozens of painters were very excited after reading it.

"After adding the sound, it really looks completely different, just like the two works."

"Mr. He Xi's repaired voice for Lu Lu is amazing!"

"This episode has been done perfectly, it will definitely be popular!"

No one questioned the final version of the animation. Meng Huo listened to their comments, heaved a sigh of relief, and then became happy. "The Rebellious Lelouch" is finished, there are still two days left, and it will appear on the TV screen as soon as this holiday is over.

Two days is a short period of time, but all the preparations for the premiere of the animation have been completed, and even TV Tokyo and CCTV have been scheduled to broadcast, so Meng Huo can relax and enjoy this vacation. Just before waiting for "The Rebellious Lelouch" to air, he still has two things to do.

On Saturday morning, Meng Huo left Manga Island with Alice, Qin Ya and three assistants.

"Teacher, do you know the chess players we are going to meet?" Qin Ya asked while eating snacks in the car.

They are going to a century-old chess academy in Suhua today. In the past, Meng Huo always interacted with chess players in Tokyo, but now because of "Rebellious Lelouch" and "ad", he spends most of his working time on After leaving Su Hua, it is natural to contact the chess players here.

After receiving his words, Su Hua's Go Association promised to come to help, but Meng Huo didn't let them come. Instead, he wanted to take Qin Ya to visit with him. This assistant didn't know Go at all, and it was troublesome.

As for the three assistants, they were just picked up by Qin Ya for fun.

"I don't know." Meng Huo shook his head. He hadn't contacted Su Hua's chess players, but he might have seen them. After all, he had come into contact with chess players from other places in Tokyo, and there might be Su Hua's chess players among them.

"But I didn't expect that this chess academy turned out to be a Daoist academy." Alice smiled and followed along to play out of curiosity. Su Hua's century-old chess academy was built in a Taoist academy that is not open to the public. It made her very curious.

The Taoist monastery is the place where Taoist priests practice.

There are many Taoist temples all over China, and a large part of them are open to the public as places for tourism and visits, but there are also some Taoist temples that remain mysterious and give people a very ancient feeling.

This was also one of the reasons why Meng Huo was willing to visit. He was very interested in the Taoist monasteries in China.

"Go has no profession." Meng Huo replied to Alice with what the Go Association told him. Although modern Go has evolved into an industry, it is still protected by some ancient customs, and Taoist priests are one of them.

A few schools of Taoism still regard Go as an essential skill for "self-cultivation and self-cultivation", and the Taoist school behind Su Hua's chess academy is one of the representatives. They deliberately use a Taoist academy as a chess academy. , Secular chess players can also go in and learn.

Meng Huo was very curious about this, as this was his first contact with Taoism.

But it's a pity. When he arrived at this chess academy, Meng Huo was a little disappointed. This chess academy is indeed transformed from a Daoist academy, located on a mountain in a remote suburb of Suhua City. The environment is elegant and the building looks very old at a glance.

However, the interior of the building is similar to the outside world. The furnishings are very modern. There is even an air conditioner in the room, a clock on the wall, and a water dispenser for drinking water. Most of the people who come and go are chess players in ordinary clothes, not what Meng Huo imagined. Taoist priest.

This is not a monastery. It is a real chess academy.

"Are you disappointed?" Alice quietly asked Meng Huo while accepting the hospitality.

"A little bit." Meng Huo nodded: "But it's also expected..."

Compared with the previous world. The Chinese culture in this world is obviously better inherited. However, "modernization" is the greatest damage to ancient culture, and in response to this rapid impact. Every industry transforms, and few are immune to it.

The same is true of Taoism. In the past few hundred years, Taoism has been divided into two different schools, one is the modern school, and the other is the classical school. As time went by, there were fewer and fewer classical schools-Meng Huo thought that the Taoist temple that kept Go should be a classical school, but he miscalculated.

"I thought I could meet a real hermit..."

Meng Huo regretted in his heart, he always believed that there was another side to this world. This feeling comes from two aspects, one is his own special situation, what exactly is psionic energy, is it really produced by himself? Or does this world allow such things to exist?

Another source of feeling is Shen Jie, Shen Jie is very strange. Although she said that there is no superman in this world, Meng Huo always had doubts in his heart. Shen Jie should not have lied to him, but what she said did not match the reality.

Shen Jie was trained by her grandfather when she was a child, and she had better qualities than ordinary people at that time. But in the past so many years, her grandfather passed away for at least ten years, Shen Jie's body and other qualities are far beyond ordinary people, she is not an exercise fanatic, how can she maintain it for so long?

She is not an ordinary person, and Shen Jie's excellence lies in the fact that Meng Huo, who is carrying a cheating device, has a hard time catching up with her. He has been using spiritual energy to stimulate his body for many years, but now he is still not confident that he can fight against Shen Jie. Meng Huo must lose the fight between the two.

However, Shen Jie's quality was honed in just a few years as a child. Except for her infancy, Meng Huo estimated that the time he spent training himself with psychic energy should be about the same as the time Shen Jie spent training with his grandfather.

But Shen Jie's effect was obviously better than Meng Huo's. Meng Huo suspected that she had been cheated by her grandfather, who was by no means an ordinary warrior.

Therefore, Meng Huo felt more and more that there was another side to this world... Unfortunately, that side was like a flower in the fog, and he couldn't find it no matter how hard he searched. Meng Huo also wanted to look for it when he was traveling in the past, but he still couldn't find it.

In the evening, Meng Huo left with a trace of regret.

They stayed in the chess academy for a day. Meng Huo discussed some chess records needed later with several chess players, while Qin Ya and the others went to learn how to play chess.

It is worth mentioning that Alice also learned a bit. She learned very quickly, but she seems to have no talent for playing chess. Qin Ya is better than her. This was the first time Meng Huo saw something that Alice was not good at, so he felt a little fresh.

But that’s all for this day. After a night’s rest, Meng Huo and Alice went out again on the next Sunday—but this time their reason for going out had nothing to do with Go, but because of " ad" animation studio is ready.

At the beginning, Zhongxia Company wanted to rent an office building in a group of buildings in the center of Suhua City, but in the end, they changed their minds because the office building was crowded with people, which might be unfavorable for Meng Huo's commuting.

Today's studio is arranged in a beautiful area on the Third Ring Road of Suhua City. There are fewer people moving here, and the straight-line distance from Manga Island is not far away, and the expenses are also very cheap. More importantly, Zhongxia The company has its own newspaper here.

It took Meng Huo only 20 minutes to arrive at the new studio location from Manga Island. This time was beyond his expectations—it was quite close and the road was easy to walk.

"Qinglong... every time I see this name, I feel a little strange." After getting off the car, Alice looked at the studio's house number and said, Qinglong is the name of this new animation studio, and the logo is a vivid blue dragon.

I don't know if they wanted to overwhelm 'Phoenix' with their name, but Zhongxia Company fought hard. Meng Huo felt that Qinglong was indeed a good name, so he agreed. Compared with the "Island" studio in Manga Island, "Blue Dragon" is obviously easier to be accepted.

But Meng Huo didn't care about the name, whether it was 'Island' or 'Qinglong', it was just a tool he used to make animations. Zhongxia Company may want to use Meng Huo to start the "Qinglong" brand, but Meng Huo will prove that this is useless.

He is confident in cultivating 'Qinglong', but it will not be a simple cultivation, Meng Huo will make 'Qinglong' unable to do without him. He wanted that as long as He Xi didn't exist in the future, this 'Blue Dragon' wouldn't be 'Blue Dragon'.

This is a contest between him and Zhongxia Company, but what no one knows is that this is also an attempt by Meng Huo and Dong Ding to discuss the possibility of the future. After Meng Huo agreed to the animation of "ad", he began to adjust some of his concepts, and no longer regarded Zhongxia as his mortal enemy.

They are opponents, but in the process of confrontation, they cannot be defeated. It would be best if the benefits of both parties can be realized. In this way, the winner will be determined in the future, and the two companies will be stronger than they are now. After the merger, the comics industry will be able to dominate the world.

The merger of Zhongxia and Phoenix - this is not only Dong Ding's hope, but also Meng Huo's hope. Meng Huo raised his head and looked at the house number with some emotion. This studio would be the first and very important step for him to get in touch with Zhongxia.

"Come on, let's go in."

He turned his head and said to Alice, then took the lead and walked in.

In October, when "The Rebellious Lelouch" was about to appear on TV, the animation production of "ad" also officially kicked off with the arrival of Meng Huo, but at this time, no reporter had discovered "what a pity" Come together with 'Zhongxia'.

Zhongxia Company did not know why, but suddenly made a suggestion to Meng Huo: "If no one finds out that the director of "ad" is Mr. He Xi during the animation production process, how about not announcing this matter?" ( To be continued)
