The next day, Meng Huo received a gift.

"What is this... a Rubik's Cube?" He flipped the gift over. From the outside, it looked like a simple Rubik's Cube, with the cartoon images of the four Gundam pilots from "Mobile Suit Gundam 00" printed on the surface.

"Yes, this Rubik's Cube was a gift for the audience at the concert last night." Zhou Qian smiled slightly: "It is not an ordinary Rubik's Cube, and there will be surprises after restoring it to its original appearance, teacher, can you turn the Rubik's Cube? Do you want me to help you?"

"No need." Meng Huo shook his head. He was very interested in the 'surprise' Zhou Qian said, but the Rubik's Cube couldn't stop him.

This simple Rubik's Cube can be turned with just a few formulas, and anyone who knows a little bit can play it smoothly - Meng Huo held the Rubik's Cube for more than ten seconds, and the Rubik's Cube returned to its perfect posture.

A burst of brisk music sounded from the Rubik's Cube. "An episode of "Mobile Suit Gundam 00"?" Meng Huo was taken aback for a moment, then smiled and said, "It's indeed a surprise, the gift you chose this time is very good..."

Although it is not an expensive gift, it is very innovative, and the live audience who watched the concert must be satisfied.

"Let me guess... you brought it to congratulate me, right?" Meng Huo put down the Rubik's Cube, let it play brisk music, and then said with a smile, "How did the sales at the concert last night go?" ?”

Yesterday at Tokyo's gymnasium, besides the concert, Phoenix Company also prepared the "Mobile Suit Gundam 00" peripherals for sale at the exit. Hearing Meng Huo's inquiry, Zhou Qian smiled: "The peripherals we prepared They are all sold out, unexpectedly popular...If we knew that, we should have prepared more."

She underestimated the enthusiasm of fans in the Far East. I regret not having prepared enough products, but at the same time Zhou Qian is even more happy. Last night's success made her confident in completing this job.

"Teacher, I plan to change my plan and stop selling the peripheral products of "Mobile Suit Gundam 00" to the market." Zhou Qian said: "After the concert, we will hold some activities for a while. The peripheral sales driven by the event are also sufficient to meet our expected goals.”

She explained to Meng Huo that the success of the "Mobile Suit Gundam 00" concert made her feel the enthusiasm of the fans. In the original expectation of Phoenix, more than 200,000 copies of the peripherals of "Mobile Suit Gundam 00" should be sold before the second broadcast, which is a warm-up for the animation.

However, Zhou Qian now finds that even if the product is not released to the market. The sales volume of various activities can reach the target. Moreover, it would be better to wait until the end of the second part for the large-scale peripheral sales. This month's peripherals can be used as limited editions, and the effect may be even greater.

"It's ok... If you can meet expectations, you can do whatever you want."

Meng Huo nodded in agreement with Zhou Qian's opinion, and he did not object. As long as the warm-up effect of "Mobile Suit Gundam 00" is achieved, the process is not important.

Moreover, Zhou Qian's temporary change of plan will not have negative effects, and will not hinder fans who want to buy peripherals. In addition to some regional activities, He Xi's Home Forum will also hold various activities to give away and sell peripherals. As long as fans are interested, it is easy to get what they want.

In this way, most of the merchandise and the concert are completed, and the final result has not yet come out, but Meng Huo has basically confirmed that the second part of "Mobile Suit Gundam 00" can be launched with the support of high popularity.

And after it's over. Immediately before his eyes was the second broadcast of "ad" after it was divided into four lines. Meng Huo was very concerned about whether this broadcast could be as successful as the first one. Crucial to his expectations for the future of "ad".

However, Meng Huo was not the only one who paid attention to this broadcast, Zhongxia Company also paid special attention.

To the relief of both parties, the number of viewers of "ad" did not drop this week, but there was a small increase-this shows that the model of "ad" was successful in the first two weeks.

In the rising viewership, all four lines have a share. However, compared to Angel's two animations, Meng Huo's two branch lines have risen a bit more. There was little difference in the magnitude of the rise between the two parties. But last week, the ratings gap between the two parties was very small, and this subtle change seemed to stand out.

Zhongxia Company immediately noticed this change.

"No way... If this continues, your two lines will easily be surpassed." On Sunday, Dong Ding invited Jiang Tianshi to his home. Holding the statistical report, he said, "Can Angel find a way to distance himself from Teacher He Xi?"

Jiang Tianshi was a little embarrassed: "This is very difficult, we have already put our heart into it."

The adaptation of animation must follow the original work, and it is difficult to give something that surprises the audience. And if you want to distance yourself from He Xi, the two lines in charge of the angel must produce a surprise that surpasses He Xi—this is too difficult, not to mention that He Xi is still the final review of the "Chidai Line" and "Zhidai Line" official.

The position of this review determines that there are only two outcomes for any surprise that Angel makes: either He Xi denies it, or He Xi knows it and uses it for reference, unless Angel no longer needs this reviewer.

But this is also impossible. Jiang Tianshi knew in his heart that they got a lot of useful advice from He Xi in the process of making the two lines. Without these suggestions, the quality of their animation would be easy to decline.

"We will try our best to make the animation better." Jiang Tianshi shook his head and sighed: "But there is no way to be surpassed by Teacher He Xi. After all, he is Teacher He Xi, and we have never defeated him before..."

Dong Ding looked at Jiang Tianshi a little strangely: "Why are you so relaxed now!"

"Because it's enough..." Jiang Tianshi smiled: "We took advantage of it, not as badly as before."

Angel has benefited greatly from this cooperation with He Xi, and Jiang Tianshi is already very satisfied. Originally, they were already at a disadvantage in the confrontation with He Xi, and they were becoming less and less favored by others. Even few people in the media thought that they could really win against He Xi.

But after the broadcast of "ad", the status of angels has risen again. For the same work, their animation ratings and satisfaction are no worse than He Xi, and they even had the upper hand for a time-this made many people look at angels with admiration again.

As long as there is a good story content, the angel can beat He Xi - there is still such a saying in the society. And as long as the animation quality is maintained, even if Angel loses in the later stage of "ad", it won't lose as badly as before, and other people can accept it.

It can even be said that in this cooperation, Angel is the first to enjoy the benefits of "ad". (to be continued)
