Big Manga

However, Shen Jie did not agree to Alice's proposal.

She left Ninghai after the concert, and Alice could only contact her by phone, and the two of them didn't seem to have a good chat. But to Meng Huo's surprise, Alice attached great importance to this matter. In order to be able to persuade Shen Jie, she gave up her long-standing evasion and went to talk to her herself.

Meng Huo was a little worried about whether the two would have a conflict, but now, he could only trust Alice. And it was also at this time that the animation of "Mobile Suit Gundam 00" aired its last episode, and Meng Huo had several celebrations to attend.

In the Far East, Sakura Company held a large-scale dinner to celebrate the end of the animation. In addition to the members of the production team of "Mobile Suit Gundam 00", they also invited quite a few TV station representatives and reporters to the scene. Show up at this kind of dinner party.

Of course, this is not only the closing dinner of "Mobile Suit Gundam 00", but also a stage for announcing some news about the follow-up work "Dragon and Tiger".

"This is Director Sasaki of TV Tokyo." Meng Huo introduced Sasaki to Bai Yan, but both of them couldn't help laughing.

"Mr. He Xi, you don't need to introduce. Director Bai and I are old friends." Sasaki stretched out his hand to Bai Yan, and said with a smile: "Director Bai, I was really surprised when I heard that you left Dream of Star. You will join the Phoenix Company."

"I'm not the only one who joined." Bai Yan smiled and shook hands with Sasaki: "However, please support me more in the future."

She learned from Meng Huo that Phoenix Company has an unspoken rule with TV stations when producing animations. The animations produced by Sakura Company will premiere on Tokyo TV, while the animations of Manga Island will be premiered on Suhua TV—so "Dragon and Tiger" "The largest partner of the animation is TV Tokyo.

"Where. I just want to ask Director Bai for more support." Sasaki was very humble. Animation is already a mainstay of TV Tokyo. As one of the future big directors of Phoenix animation company, he naturally wants to establish a good relationship with Bai Yan.

"But having said that, director Bai is solely responsible for the production of "Dragon and Tiger" this time?" Sasaki hesitated a little, and then said: "Please don't mind if I offend you, but Director Bai has not been in touch with animation for a long time, right? "

Because the two know each other, Sasaki knows that Bai Yan's temper is not bad, he has concerns about this, and he doesn't mind speaking out.

"I'm mainly in charge. Although it's the first time, you can trust me more." Bai Yan laughed. She had been studying with Meng Huo for several months before, and she was a professional director herself. I still have confidence in the production of "Dragon and Tiger".

"And I also have the cartoonist of "Dragon and Tiger" to cooperate."

"cartoonist?"

"She refers to my two cartoonist assistants who drew "Dragon and Tiger"." Meng Huo interjected, "They all said experienced cartoonists, and they were in charge of "Yoran High School Male Public Relations Department" before. , and they are basically in charge of the current "Dragon and Tiger" manga serialization."

When he said this, Sasaki immediately felt relieved.

"So that's how it is. Since there are such outstanding people to help, then I'm just worrying about it." He smiled and toasted Meng Huo and Bai Yan, and then looked at Meng Huo again. Asked: "Speaking of which, there is one more thing that I am very concerned about. Mr. He Xi, you don't think you intend to move "Detective Conan", do you?"

"Dragon and Tiger" is a fairly popular manga, and its animation is bound to be a big success. However, even so, its weight is still not comparable to "Detective Conan". Meng Huo has delayed the production time of "Detective Conan" twice in a row, which made Sasaki quite worried.

Meng Huo shook his head and said with a smile, "Of course not, I promise it will come back this year."

Immediately, all the worries in Sasaki's heart disappeared, and he chatted with Meng Huo about the broadcast of the Phoenix Company's carnival a few months later, and then gave up the opportunity to talk with Meng Huo to other reporters with satisfaction.

Bai Yan has been by Meng Huo's side all the time. In fact, the main character of the dinner is Meng Huo on the surface, but Bai Yan is secretly Bai Yan. Taking advantage of this opportunity, Meng Huo officially introduces Bai Yan to various media in the comics industry. Said it was Bai Yan's debut show in the comics industry.

On the second day, in addition to the report on the conclusion of "Mobile Suit Gundam 00", the news that Bai Yan served as the director of "Dragon and Tiger" was also widely circulated.

Although Phoenix Company did not hide this news before, there are not many animation fans who know about it in the society. And this time, through contact with many media, the reports about Baiyan also suddenly increased. As a famous director with rich experience, Bai Yan's transformation has been recognized by many animation fans.

However, there are also many people questioning whether Bai Yan's rapid transformation can make the animation of "Dragon and Tiger" well, especially the comic fans of "Dragon and Tiger". complain.

"Why didn't Mr. He Xi make "Dragon and Tiger"? Previous animations were all made by him, why did you become biased when you came across "Dragon and Tiger"?" The teacher made it himself, can "Dragon and Tiger" be an exception?", "We don't want the so-called famous director, why should we cherish the teacher!"

The level of complaints exceeded Meng Huo's expectations. In order to protest this incident, some fans even took more extreme actions that affected the original comics—such as tearing up the serialized weekly magazine of "Dragon and Tiger", or even Malicious bad reviews and so on.

In order to appease these readers, Meng Huo had no choice but to publish a short statement in Comic Weekly, saying that although the animation of "Dragon and Tiger" was produced by Bai Yan, he would strictly control it and never destroy the classics of the original comics.

After making such a statement, the fans' complaints gradually subsided, but after experiencing this incident, Bai Yan felt the pressure of **.

"I didn't expect the popularity of "Dragon and Tiger" to be so high." She has not experienced this kind of pressure for many years, and in the past, if the movie has her name on it, it is a symbol of quality-how can animation happen? This situation is not believed by the audience.

However, the pressure is the pressure, and with these pressures, the enthusiasm in Bai Yan's heart ignited.

"I don't feel this kind of struggle anymore. I will definitely do a good job in the animation of "Dragon and Tiger"...Mr. He Xi, please don't blame me for taking away the audience of your animation!"

Her confidence was stronger than that of Meng Huo. (To be continued...) R1292
