Big Manga

After the novel team was confirmed, the work of adapting the work was also arranged, and Meng Huo had a relatively peaceful time.

In the next few weeks, the sales growth brought about by "Natsume's Book of Friends" gradually became saturated, and Phoenix Company's weekly comic sales were stable above Zhongxia Company's, which made the comic industry reposition the ownership of the leading company.

However, with the passage of time, the media's attention to this matter has gradually decreased, and the internal turmoil of Zhongxia Company has also tended to ease-since mid-October, there has been no news of the animation studio's independence from Zhongxia up.

Now the media's attention is on two other things, both of which are inseparable from Zhongxia Company. One of them is that the much-anticipated "Strike of the Sword" has finally confirmed its release time and theaters.

"The premiere will be held on November 10th, and we will give you an invitation to Teacher He Xi. If you are free, teacher, please come and join us!"

When talking about this matter, Jiang Tianshi was particularly excited - he couldn't help but be excited, "Strike of the Sword" is Angel's proud work. Jiang Tianshi is full of confidence in this animated film. You must know that he is good at making animated films, and he absolutely does not believe that he will lose to Meng Huo.

The original work of "Strike of the Sword" is also a super popular feature-length animation. Although Meng Huo has not seen the production of this film, he believes that this film will be very popular, even no more than "The Magician at the Beginning of the Century". Difference.

Regarding Jiang Tianshi's invitation, Meng Huo is not opposed to flattering him, but he also has conditions: "The theatrical version of "The Little Fairies" will also be released in November, although it will be later than you, but if you and other angels Promise to come to the premiere—it's not impossible for me to attend the premiere of "The Legend of Sword"

Similar to "Legend of Sword and Sword", the theatrical version of "Little Fairy" will also be released in November. However, this month is the breakout period for new movies in China, and Phoenix is ​​still fighting with theater operators for the best release time, which may be one to two weeks later than "Strike of the Sword".

Meng Huo's idea was simple. If Jiang Tianshi wanted him to attend the premiere, that angel had to attend his premiere too.

"No problem." - Jiang Tianshi agreed.

In addition to the movie, another matter that has attracted media attention is also closely related to the two: the second plot of the "ad" animation is about to reach its climax.

"ad" is an animation jointly produced by Meng Huo and Angel. The place where Meng Huo came into contact with Jiang Tianshi this year was also in Qinglong Studio, which produced this animation. After a long production cycle, the first part of "ad" and various heroine branches have already been played. Part two is now airing.

The second "ad" is the last animation,

It tells the follow-up plot of the Nagisa line, that is, the story after the story. This story can be said to be the essence of the essence of the entire "ad", the reason why this work has become a "magic work".

Because it is so important, when the climax is approaching, the media from all over the world are focusing on animation. Zhongxia Company and Phoenix Company also paid special attention to the development of the follow-up plot, and successively increased their advertising efforts. Not to mention, Meng Huo also went to the studio every day.

Neither he nor Jiang Tianshi wanted to lose the chain at a crucial point. From the episode where the protagonist of the animation and his daughter travel, the two began to strictly control the animation production.

"This shot doesn't work, Xi's face is a little distorted!"

"Stupid, how many times do you want me to say, details, details! Let me tell you, the next episode is very important, you have to make sure that every shot of the animation can make other people's screenshots into computer desktops - give me the strictest Standard to draw!"

Their strict requirements can make those involved in animation production suffer a lot. When producing the final main line of "ad", several branch teams cooperated in a unified manner, and most of the painters participated in the production. The scale is larger than any animation team in China-but even so, the time spent on producing an episode is very tight.

Of course, this is because not all the illustrators were put into the production, starting from the production of the second part of "ad". Some illustrators were drawn out to prepare for the next animation "fate/" adapted from a text adventure game.

With full preparations, "fate/" will be aired immediately after "ad" ends, with an interval of no more than a week.

Outside of "Strike of the Immortal Sword" and "ad", Meng Huo spent the rest of his life quite peacefully. Except for adding a copy of "Natsume's Book of Friends", his work is the same as usual. He went to Yanjing a few times to check the situation of the theatrical version of "Little Fairies", and stayed in Suhua for the rest of the time.

The operation of Sakura Company is very smooth, and the animation production of "Dragon and Tiger" is also very successful. Meng Huo didn't have to worry about Tokyo's affairs. And Ning Hai has Dong Ding and Alice sitting in charge, so he doesn't have to worry about it.

After Mid-Autumn Festival. Li Qin came to Suhua from Ninghai for a few days, but then went back. But Shen Jie was the one who stayed in Su Hua the longest. Two-thirds of her time is spent studying and working in Manga Island and other directors of the seiyuu firm, and the remaining one-third is in Ninghai and holding regular concerts.

Meng Huo and Shen Jie get along frequently, and their relationship has greatly improved within a month. But in contrast, Alice has not seen each other for a month. This is the first time in two years. Meng Huo has not seen each other for such a long time. see her.

It wasn't until one Saturday, when Meng Huo came home at night, that he bumped into Alice in the elevator.

"I didn't see you during the day, where did you go?" Alice was holding some desserts in her hand, and she was very surprised when she saw him: "Isn't today a holiday?"

"You forgot, I still have to go to the hospital for an internship in the Almighty Master of the Other World." Meng Huo replied, he still has the status of an intern, and he basically goes to the hospital one day during the holidays every week. Make up for it in one day.

"No wonder." Alice looked Meng Huo up and down: "But the hospital intern, don't you have to wear a white coat?"

Meng Huo laughed: "I changed my clothes in the hospital, and it's too conspicuous to put it back on."

"My big doctor, it's better to put the internship aside for such trouble..." Alice said helplessly: "You haven't done enough things recently, I really don't know why you insist on it, let's not talk about the hard work. Why don't you ask It is convenient to have a personal doctor.”

She was right, Meng Huo's study of medicine was meaningless. The profession of a doctor is quite special. It is not a profession that can be mastered skillfully by relying on quick memory and a strong body. In particular, Chinese medicine is based on experience and experience. Meng Huo also has a deep feeling in the hospital-the older the doctor, the more popular and authoritative he is. This is different from many professions.

In fact, no matter how hard Meng Huo studied, he was unlikely to become a very good doctor. It would be better to spend money to hire a private doctor. If the time and energy spent on studying medicine were spent on work, Meng Huo would obviously gain more.

However, despite this, Meng Huo still had no intention of giving up.

"I don't want to forget my original intention." Meng Huo said with a smile: "It's useless to study medicine, but who can say that it won't happen? Maybe it can help me sometimes, isn't it?"

Alice frowned slightly, the original intention of studying medicine - Meng Huo's original intention was naturally Shen Jie. What a lucky child that was, but it made Meng Huo hard. If that incident hadn't happened, Meng Huo wouldn't have to spend all his vacation now.

Alice felt a little jealous in her heart, but she was smart enough not to say it.

"By the way, why are you back?"

At this moment, Meng Huo asked Alice why she came back.

"Isn't it okay for me to come back to see you?" Alice sighed, she was a man without conscience, but she continued, "I have two things to tell you. It's just a holiday, so I came here."

"Which two pieces?"

"One is the release time of the theatrical version of "Little Fairies". November 20th..." Alice informed Meng Huo of the specific premiere time and venue, but the premiere date has not been confirmed before. .

But this matter only needs to be notified by phone. Meng Huo believed that Alice came back to see him specially: "Then there is one more thing?"

"One more thing..." Alice frowned: "Zhong Xia plans to release a novella. I think you should pay attention..."

"A comic novel?" Meng Huo was taken aback. Novella comics generally refer to comics whose serialization will end in a few months. This kind of comics is not uncommon. Is there anything worth noting?

"I heard that the manga only has about 20 chapters, and it will be finished in a few months." Alice said, "Zhongxia Company values ​​this manga very much."

"Isn't it just a cartoon?"

"...The comics this time are a bit different. Zhongxia Company has made a lot of preparations for it." Alice shook her head and continued to explain: "The preparation seems to have surpassed any previous comics, including angels, and even a little bit earlier. It's the manga artist named Li Xin. His treatment back then was not as good as this new manga."

Only then did Meng Huo startle, Li Xin. He naturally remembered the cartoonist. This is the cartoonist supported by Zhongxia's biggest resources before the appearance of angels. At the beginning, Zhongxia Company's praise of Li Xin once posed a great threat to Meng Huo, and he still relied on "One Piece" to turn defeat into victory.

If it was a lower-level cartoon at that time, with the support of Zhongxia Company, Li Xin might have surpassed Meng Huo to become the number one cartoonist of Longyan Cangqiong.

This incident is a bit strange. It has not been many years since Zhongxia Company has launched comics so vigorously. Their battlefield has long been placed on animation, why did they suddenly have such an idea today? And after hearing Alice's careful reminder, is it possible that this comic...

"Could it be that this is an original comic?"

Meng Huo asked curiously.

"That's right, you guessed it right." Alice's eyes flashed with admiration, and she said, "This is really an original comic, but Zhongxia's internal evaluation of it is even better than other adapted comics—— There are even rumors that it will surpass our company's original comics, and at least it can achieve the same high popularity as "5 Centimeters Per Second."

As popular as "5 Centimeters Per Second"? Meng Huo was dumbfounded: "Is this impossible?"

"I also think it's impossible." After the elevator arrived, Alice and Meng Huo got out of the elevator. She told Meng Huo that when she first received the news, Alice also thought it was ridiculous. Zhongxia Company, which has always been mainly adapting comics, does not have any powerful original cartoonists. How could they release such amazing works?

"But knowing some of the plans they have prepared for this comic, I think it might be really powerful..."

"what's the plan?"

Meng Huo asked quickly.

"The serialization of this original comic has not yet started, but Zhongxia Company has now formulated plans for animation, novelization, and live-action movies for it-even the copyright of the game has been sold, and it will be developed by a first-class company next year ..."

Alice asked Meng Huo: "Have you ever seen them value a work so much?"

Meng Huo thought for a while, "Not really!"

Even for Angel's works, he has never seen so many plans, animations and comics are fine, novels, live-action movies, and games have plans, and it is before this mysterious comic is officially serialized...

These plans clearly show that Zhongxia Company attaches great importance to this comic, and it is hard to imagine what kind of work it is with such careful preparation.

"Jiang Tianshi didn't tell me, did he hide it on purpose?" Meng Huo thought so, took out the key to open the door, and asked Alice, "Do you know who the manga author is?"

"I don't know yet..." Alice did not return to her apartment, and it was rare for Shen Jie to go out to perform, so she followed Meng Huo into his apartment: "But someone revealed that it might be from "The Kingdom of Ice and Fire" The author, but this news has not been confirmed, I don't believe it."

""The Kingdom of Ice and Fire"!?" Alice didn't believe it, but Meng Huo was stunned when he heard the name. He was stunned for a few seconds, and then the corner of his mouth twitched: "Interesting..."

He began to believe the cartoon that Alice said, maybe it would really be a work that could be valued by Zhongxia Company.

Is the author of "Nation of Ice and Fire" going to show his strength in comics? Is he provocative, showing up...or a prelude? After the manga is officially released in the future, will this person continue to hide behind the scenes, or will he come to him?

Meng Huo was curious, and of course he was even more curious about the comics themselves. What kind of story does this mysterious novella tell, and how does it make Zhong Xia so confident?

Just when Meng Huo was thinking, Alice found him thinking: "What's wrong? Did you think of something?"

Meng Huo looked back at Alice. This woman obviously didn't believe that the author of "The Land of Ice and Fire" had any real abilities. Should he tell Alice that the author of "The Land of Ice and Fire" was someone else?

After thinking about it, Meng Huo gave up. He was just guessing, and he couldn't be 100% sure that this guess was the truth, and he knew that Alice would not be willing to investigate "The Kingdom of Ice and Fire" again. (to be continued)
