Chapter 1043: Huiyue
Two female assistants in Tokyo informed Meng Huo of their choice as soon as possible. They chose to debut as a comic artist group. This choice surprised Meng Huo and was also happy. They couldn't help but remind Qin Ya: "If you don't prepare the new comic seriously, you might be chased by them."
Of course, Qin Ya didn't take his words seriously, but Meng Huo was not joking. Apart from Qin Ya, the female assistant he was optimistic about was Bai Han. Hua Meng was old and her thinking was not that flexible. Even if she returned to a cartoonist, she would not be as good as Bai Han in long-term potential.
However, although he was optimistic about Bai Han, he felt that the combination of two female assistants in Tokyo would be even more terrifying. Their single-player strength is not as good as Bai Han, but they are far better than her when they are together, and may even pose a threat to Qin Ya.
The work attitude of these two female assistants is impressive, and their strength cannot be underestimated. Meng Huo has many assistants, but these two female assistants have worked for him the most. Most of the other assistants are drawing a comic, and they have changed many of them in a few years.
After experiencing many comic exercises, different styles and plots, these two female assistants can be said to be the ones who have gained the most experience and technology inheritance from Meng Huo.
But what they are most terrifying is the perfect painting tacit understanding formed by their long-term cooperation - these two cartoonists are like one person when they collaborate. If they debut in a combination form, it will inevitably be a terrible combination.
Seeing that Qin Ya didn't take her reminder seriously, Meng Huo did not intend to remind her again. Qin Ya believed that she would not have any enemies in the girl comics industry, and this idea would inevitably make her suffer - the size of the loss was different.
Immediately after the two female assistants in Tokyo, Ning Hai's assistants also received replies - Tomato chose to leave now, Mach and Wang Yanmeng have to wait for a while, while Hua Meng continues to serve as his assistant.
The answers of these assistants did not surprise Meng Huo. The result was not much different from his guess. He knew from the beginning that Tomato and Mach would definitely be willing to leave. They turned out to be cartoonists who could stand alone and could not always hide under his wings.
The reason why Mach is unwilling to let go is because of the animation of "One Piece", Meng Huo understands his expectations. He also assured Mach that the animation of "One Piece" will be produced soon.
Within two hours after Meng received the answer from his assistants, Ye Xiong, who learned the news, called him with the purpose of asking how to solve the locations of the four vacant assistants.
"Leave these to you and the female editorial department to negotiate and resolve these issues." Meng Huo said: "What kind of person is suitable for me to be my assistant? You editors know more than me."
He did not intend to interfere with the selection of new assistants. The number of cartoonists in Phoenix Company is now very large, so many that Meng Huo did not remember his name at all, and it is even more impossible for him to know the situation of every cartoonist - these editors know better than him.
Ye Xiong was a little worried: "But Teacher He Xi, the editorial department cannot say 100% can find a suitable replacement assistant for you now."
"It doesn't matter, if you don't work, just change it." Meng Huo replied: "You don't have to think too much. I'll sing with the black face. There is a transitional period for changing assistants. I will evaluate the new assistant you sent. If you are not satisfied, I will fire you. Just choose me again."
These words relieved Ye Xiong.
"I know how to do it. I will contact the female editorial department and hand over the list of new assistants to you as soon as possible." After Ye Xiong and Meng Huo said, the two talked about some details, and the matter of changing the assistant was settled.
The selection of new assistants takes time, and during this period, Meng Huo focused on other work.
The animation problem is the first to be affected. Because he left too long, the ending of the half-year episode "Sa Special Eugenics" led by Bai Yan was delayed for several weeks and was about to end - plus Huiyue Studio and Island Studio, Meng Huo must prepare three animations.
Huiyue Studio is the studio that Meng Huo acquired before leaving. After completing the acquisition, Meng Huo has not given them new animations. Huiyue Studio is producing two animations that signed the contract before the acquisition, but these two animations were completed before November, and the studio is now empty and has no job.
Not to mention Island Studio, Qin Ya takes the painters to do nothing in the studio every day, and is also waiting for Meng Huo to hand over the planning of the new animation.
Because I had to prepare three animations at once, Meng Huo almost didn't sleep well for a few days after he came back.
He prepared two funny animations, namely "The Idiot Quiz Summoning Beast" and "The Daily Life of a Boy's High School Student", and a girl comic "The Genius Mahjong Girl" to be prepared for Bai Yan.
"The Idiot Quiz Summoning Beast" has high requirements for picture quality. Meng Huo plans to leave it to the Island Studio, while "The Daily Life of a Boy's High School Student" is less difficult to produce, so he plans to give it to Huiyue Studio.
However, after Meng Huo sent out the information, this distribution method was immediately rejected by Qin Ming from Huiyue Studio.
"Don't you like this animation?" Meng Huo asked Qin Ming at the video discussion meeting of the three animation studios in the next video.
"The content of the animation itself is not a problem, but the production difficulty is too low." Qin Ming shook his head and said: "My painters are already excellent. In the past six months, they have been asked to go to other animation departments to train. They hope to create a more challenging animation."
Meng Huo didn't know that in fact, the painters of Huiyue Studio have been under pressure from other animation departments in the past six months. They have not produced animations for Phoenix Company, so many painters of Phoenix Company look down on them a little. Huiyue's painters are now holding their breath to prove themselves.
"The Daily Life of a Boy's High School Student" is a very simple animation. Each episode consists of several funny clips, and the place where each clip takes place is commonplace - for example, in the room, in the classroom, on the grass mound by the river, etc.
This animation mainly relies on the characters' dialogues to show off their funny points, so the importance of voice actors exceeds the importance of the picture, which will naturally make the painters of Huiyue Studio dissatisfied. What they want is not such a simple animation. What they want is an animation that can use their painting skills, such as "The Idiot Quiz Summoning Beast".
Qin Ming proposed to "The Idiot Quiz Summoning Beast", but Meng Hu refused.
"No, this is too early!" The "Idiot Test Summoning Beast" in his memory is known for its painting style, but not only its painting style, but many of the expression techniques of this animation are very advanced, and Meng Huo does not think Huiyue is suitable for taking over at all.
"Or what if I hand over "The Genius Mahjong Girl" to Huiyue?" At this moment, Bai Yan suddenly spoke, which surprised Meng Huo and Qin Ming.
"The Genius Mahjong Girl" has also very low requirements for the picture. It also requires some animation technology." Bai Yan continued: "Huiyue wants to prove her strength as soon as possible, and this animation is perfect."
She is very optimistic about Huiyue Studio. This studio produces "Genius Mahjong Girl". No matter what, before the acquisition, Huiyue Studio had a group of painters second only to Phoenix Company and Angel Studio. After half a year of running-in, it is even more impossible to do "Genius Mahjong Girl" well.
"Director Bai, are you willing to switch with us?"
Qin Ming was a little surprised. He read the scripts and character designs of the three animations. Although it does not have as high requirements as "The Idiot Quiz Summoning Beast", if "The Genius Mahjong Girl" is done well, it will not lose to the former in popularity!
Meng Huo frowned. Bai Yan's animation department has been producing girl animations all the time, so he prepared "Genius Mahjong Girl" for her, but why did she suddenly say she wanted to give up?
She wants to produce "The Daily Life of a Boy's High School Student"? The style has changed so much, that's impossible!
Meng Huo was not wrong. Just as his suspicious thought flashed, Bai Yan pointed his eyes at him and said, "Teacher He Xi. I want to make the next season of "Shanna with the Burning Eyes" for this animation."
"Shana with the Eyes" - Meng Huo looked surprised. Didn't Bai Yan say that she didn't want to make the next season of this animation? Why has her idea changed now?
"Why?" he asked.
"I prefer "Shana, the Burning Eyes" to "The Talented Mahjong Girl" and "The Daily Life of a Boy's High School Student". Bai Yan replied simply and clearly, but in addition to this reason, she also had the idea to take the opportunity to keep the two female assistants.
"Shana with the Eyes" was produced by them together in the last season. Bai Yan has convinced the two girls that they will stay in Tokyo to draw comics and help her make this season's animation.
Of course, Meng Huo was not aware of this reason. When Bai Yan said one reason, he didn't look down - it would be better to let Bai Yan produce "Shana with the Eyes". She has experience, so he doesn't have to worry so much.
"Then let it go, "The Daily Life of a Boy's High School Student" will be put down for now, and Huiyue will produce "The Genius Mahjong Girl". "Meng Huo looked at Qin Ming who was a little excited and said, "I will take the time to go to Yang Jiang for a checkup. During this time, you can prepare this animation first."
"Okay, Teacher He Xi!" Qin Ming agreed readily. Meng Huo then discussed with Bai Yan about the second season of "The Burning Eyes Shana". Bai Yan was prepared for it and responded perfectly.
Meng Huo was relieved. After finishing the video call, he found Qin Ya and informed her that she could hold the press conference of "The Stupid Quiz Summoning Beast".
The press conferences of "Shana with the Scarlet Eyes" and "Genius Mahjong Girl" will be held in Tokyo and Yang Jiang respectively. However, the time is different. "Shana with the Scarlet Eyes" is at the forefront, followed by "Sheng's Fool Test Summoning Beast" by Island Studio. The press conference of "Shana with the Scarlet Eyes" will be held at the end, and Meng Huo has to personally host it.
He handed over the press conference of "The Idiot Quiz Summoning Beast" to Qin Ya. Qin Ya had no doubts about this, but she was very curious about another thing.
"Teacher, why is there no One Piece?"
Bai Yan and Qin Ming also asked this question. They both knew that He Xi promised to produce "One Piece" after returning before traveling. Now there are three vacancies for the animation. Why not include "One Piece" in it?
"Island Studio does not make long animations." Meng Huo replied to Qin Ya. This is the principle he determined a long time ago. Island Studio does not make long animations. They are the best animation studios and cannot be restricted by an animation.
If "One Piece" is animated, it will inevitably be a super long animation. Without more than ten years, Meng Huo naturally cannot put it into the pocket of the island studio.
"Bai Yan doesn't like to make long animations." This is the second reason. Among the directors discovered by Phoenix Company, Bai Yan is the one who looks the most like Meng Huo. They don't want to make long animations. Even the current "Shanna with the Eyes" is actually a short story that is separated.
But One Piece is not suitable for this mode. It either does not make it into animated or can't stop at will.
"Where is Huiyue?" Qin Ya frowned: "Huiyue can always make long animations, right?"
"Of course they will, the question is - can you rest assured?" Meng Huo asked Qin Ya. Qin Ya was speechless for a moment. Yes, the comic "One Piece" is too popular, and Huiyue Studio has not yet accepted its background.
If "One Piece" is handed over to Huiyue Studio, whether it can be done well is one thing. When the news spreads, it will immediately arouse the anger of fans.
This is a comic that is known as the number one comic in China. How can it be handed over to others to make it? If it is not a team that can be recognized by most fans, whoever receives it will be a hot potato.
"What should I do? Isn't this an answer?" Qin Ya found that this was very troublesome. In addition to Meng Huo and Bai Yan, the only teams that can produce "Detective Conan" and "Pokemon" are left.
But the two animation departments have already nailed the two animation departments, and they cannot get out to produce "One Piece" - "Is there any team that can produce "One Piece"?"
Qin Ya frowned: "Do you have to drag it down again?"
"No, don't delay..." Meng Huo shook his head: "I already have an idea. If it goes well, a team will take over this animation next month."
Qin Ya opened her eyes wide in shock: "Which team?"
"You will know then." Meng Huo is not sure that he will succeed now, but he is 90% sure that the charm of "One Piece" is unstoppable. He does not believe that there will be artists in China who refuse to make this animation.
"I will create a team that everyone accepts." Meng Huo smiled at Qin Ya and said, "Don't be too surprised then."
Qin Ya's heart moved: "Ange?"
"..." Meng Huo didn't expect her reaction to be so fast, but since he was guessed, there was no need to hide it: "That's right, it's an angel, I want them to cooperate with me."
When he heard that Jiang Tianshi and the Angel did not belong to Zhongxia's control, he was considering whether there is a more explosive combination in China than the Angel He Xi? (To be continued.)
