Chapter 1048: Ventilator
On Sunday morning, Meng Huo received a call.◎,
Alice was having breakfast, and after seeing him answer the phone, she asked, "Work call?"
"It can't be said to be a job, Ning Hai's phone number..." Meng Huo sat opposite her: "It's about Zhongxia Company."
"Zhongxia? Is the acquisition done??" Alice's expression turned up. She guessed by time that the transaction should be almost completed now.
Meng Huo did not deny: "If it goes well, you can sign the contract today."
"Today?" Alice was stunned: "Then do you want to go back to Ninghai?"
"...No need." Meng Huo shook his head: "I don't need to show up for the time being. They will help me handle it. I can go there later."
Alice breathed a sigh of relief. She finally had to let Meng Huo be by her side, and she didn't want him to leave.
On that day, she did not ask to go to other places, but just walked around with Meng Huo. When she was tired, she went back to the hotel. Then she helped to modify the information of "World of Warcraft" in the afternoon and spent the day quietly.
In the evening, Alice was about to return to Meng's house, and Meng Huo was going back to Comic Island.
"Sorry, I may not have time to come with you next week's holiday."
"It's okay, just come and see it occasionally." Although I didn't do anything big in two days, Alice was already satisfied: "You have a safe job, I have your mother and others to take care of you."
Meng Huo nodded, and before parting, he placed his head on Alice's belly.
"Did you hear anything?" Alice asked.
"It seems that there is no..." Meng Huo stood up and smiled: "It always says on TV that you can hear the children's movements, which seems to be a lie."
"Maybe your child is quieter, maybe." Alice giggled. After laughing, she touched her stomach: "Meng Huo, don't you really need to test the gender of the child? What if this is a girl..."
"It's okay." Meng Huo shook his head: "I like girls very much."
He did not ask Alice to undergo a fetal gender test, which was a very simple thing. But Meng Huo felt it was unnecessary, and he could accept it either boy or girl.
"But I think he is the boy." Alice smiled.
She knew that most of her belly was a boy. Although she had not undergone gender tests, she was taken to the hospital by the old lady for several physical examinations after she came back. The first time the old lady was very happy when she came back. Alice guessed that maybe the old lady had secretly asked someone to test the gender of the fetus.
Meng Huo and Alice didn't mind whether the child was a man or a woman, but the old lady and Li Qin, including Alice's mother, wanted a boy. They didn't tell Alice about the child, but just said that everything was normal.
But judging from the performance of these elders, Alice guessed that the one in her belly was definitely a boy.
She did not tell Meng Huo the speculation that it would be better to give him a surprise after the child was born.
In the evening, after parting with Alice, Meng Huo returned to the comic island with the modified game materials. He first handed the manuscript to the writers and asked them to revise them according to the opinions he had written, and then went directly to the studio.
"Teacher He Xi!" As soon as Meng Huo entered, Qin Ya in the studio called him happily: "Welcome back."
"What's wrong? What's the good thing happened?" Meng Huo saw Qin Ya's excited face and immediately knew that something good thing had happened to her.
"My new comic is submitted today, and it will be officially serialized in two weeks." Sure enough, Qin Ya gave a good news.
"Congratulations, but... I submitted the manuscript today? Why did you say you want to serialize so quickly?" Meng Huo said strangely: "Aren't the editors not working today? Are they meeting for you to review the comics?"
"Not yet!" Qin Ya waved her hand. If a new comic is to be published on the serial, it needs to be discussed by the editorial department. She is not spared, but Qin Ya is confident.
"My comic will definitely pass the serial review," she said. "If those editors don't let me serialize it as soon as possible, I will submit it to other places and see what they do!"
Meng Huo was a little surprised. Qin Ya was so confident that this new comic should be very interesting.
"What's the name of the new comic?" Meng Huo said: "You can tell me the name, right?"
"Phoenix!"
"ah?"
"The name of the comic is "Phoenix". It is about a story about a different world." Qin Ya said happily: "This is a different world full of mythological creatures. The mountains and forests are filled with clouds and fog, and fairy mountains are floating on the sea. Just like the fairyland world in classical novels, the heroine is the princess of the Phoenix clan."
"A different world?" Meng Huo looked surprised. This subject sounds very mysterious: "And it is a classical subject, how could you think of this?"
This change is a bit big. Qin Ya's previous "The Legend of the Galaxy Song" was a science fiction comic. Now she actually plans to draw classical comics. These are two completely different types.
"You are more suitable for writing modern subjects." Meng Huo frowned. Qin Ya's works have always been built on modern cities. He didn't remember any classical works she had, so he couldn't help asking: "Why don't you put the story in the urban background you are used to?"
"There is nothing to write in the city anymore." Qin Ya explained. In the past, she wrote almost all modern romance novels, celebrities, artists, and ordinary girls. These topics are not challenging for her. She wants to try topics that she has never touched.
"I like the environment of "Inuyasha" very much." Qin Ya said that Meng Huo's "Inuyasha" outlines a vast and fairy-like worldview, which makes her very yearn for it. She also hopes that she can write some works with classical and mythological beauty.
"And I have a companion who is very good at this kind of work." Qin Ya added that "Phoenix" is actually not her own work. It is difficult for her to make up her mind to create such a bad style, but she has Ye Feimeng around her, and Ye Feimeng happens to be a good at this kind of style.
Of course, Meng Huo was not relieved by Qin Ya's explanation. Such a huge style change is not enough for several cartoonists to grasp, and it is difficult to say even if there are helpers.
"Is this comic a long comic?"
"No, this is the middle chapter, it will end next year."
Qin Ya's answer made Meng Huo feel a little relieved. He had a premonition that Qin Ya's comic was difficult to create the glory of "The Legend of the Galaxy Song", but since it was a comic that was not serialized for a long time, the problem was not big.
Even if it fails once, it will be a lesson. With Qin Ya's ability, "Phoenix" cannot surpass "The Legend of the Galaxy Song" and its quality will not be much worse, nor will it shake her popularity foundation.
Therefore, Meng Huo did not continue to lobby Qin Ya, so he would just treat it as a risk for Qin Ya. What if "Phoenix" became popular? Before he saw that comic, he could not say that it was definitely not suitable for Qin Ya.
Qin Ya's comics have decided, and Meng Huo wanted to ask how Bai Han's comics were prepared, but when he looked at them, Bai Han immediately lowered his head from this nervous look, Meng Huo no longer needs to ask.
"Bai Han's comics are not going well?"
The next day, Meng Huo asked Qin Ya during work break.
"I feel it's very smooth, but she can't pass the test personally." Qin Ya replied that she and Bai Han have been together for a long time than Meng Huo. She is also familiar with the girl's situation: "Bai Han submitted a manuscript a few days ago. The editorial department's evaluation is quite good, but she doesn't want to draw it anymore."
"Why?" Meng Huo was surprised. Since the editorial department's evaluation was very good, why didn't Bai Han draw?
"Because she has high requirements!" Qin Ya glanced at Meng Huo: "I am used to being an assistant for you, and her vision of reading comics has also been improved. How can I like what I have drawn?"
Bai Han is facing a current situation now. She has gained a lot of experience and skills from Meng Huo. She has a very high vision of comics. But once she draws herself, she will find that the comics she draws cannot fit her vision. It is even more different from Meng Huo's comics.
In fact, Qin Ya's assistant also encountered a similar situation. The editorial department of the new comics drawn by the assistant was also good, but the female assistant herself couldn't accept it because like Bai Han, she was also influenced by the high quality of "The Legend of the Galaxy Song".
Bai Han's situation is even more obvious. She has been helping cartoonist He Xi draw comics for several consecutive years. He Xi's comics are far superior to other cartoonists in the comics industry. Bai Han, who is used to He Xi's comics, will naturally face the gap between imagination and reality when she starts drawing comics by herself.
She would involuntarily compare He Xi's comics with her own comics. The absolute difference between them made Bai Han unable to pass her own level. However, in fact, her level is not bad at least among newcomer cartoonists. Bai Han should be a very outstanding cartoonist.
"The editor told me that her comic is actually close to the serialization level." Qin Ya said: "For new cartoonists, this is a very big achievement, but no matter how the editors praise her, Bai Han's idea of looking at the work has been cultivated by you, and she doesn't believe she has drawn it well."
"I think it's very difficult for her to think about this now." Qin Ya looked at Meng Huo and thought to herself that she was very lucky. At least she could keep up with Meng Huo's footsteps and would not feel powerless.
Meng Huo frowned at Bai Han’s incident: “Is there any countermeasures for the editorial department?”
"I don't know this... But I don't think there is any good idea. Why not wait until the time passes and she will naturally think about it." Qin Ya shrugged. This is not a difficult problem to solve. In fact, it is very simple, but it takes time.
When Bai Han leaves from He Xi's world and can look at Chinese comics from an ordinary perspective, she will naturally embrace her confidence again.
"Okay, teacher... don't worry about Bai Han's affairs." Qin Ya looked at Meng Huo who was frowning and said, "The more you care, the more trouble you are. If you ignore her, I think she will be more relaxed."
Meng Huo was surprised: "What do you mean is that I put pressure on her too?"
"Of course, teacher, every time you ask her to get off work and prepare a comic, every time you ask her about her progress, although she is kind, she will be even more nervous when she hears it." Qin Ya nodded and said, "Teacher, you are the source of her pressure."
In fact, if Meng Huo didn't care so much about Bai Han, Bai Han might not have such strict requirements for her comics. It was because she was worried that drawing a bad comic would disappoint Teacher He Xi that Bai Han would not listen to the advice.
Meng Huo was silent. Qin Ya was right. He should not pay too much attention to the situation of his assistants, as this would make them feel stressed.
"I understand, then I won't talk about this anymore." Meng Huo nodded, then ended his rest, and re-entered the animation production of "The Stupid Quiz Summoning Beast".
Before he returned, Island Studio had already returned to its previous level under the leadership of Qin Ya, so the animation progressed very smoothly, and the premiere time and TV station had also decided.
"Shanna with the Eyes" premiered on Tokyo TV, and the premiere was very effective, but it was a team led by Bai Yan. Several TV stations wanted the works that Meng Huo personally launched after half a year.
When the press conference of "The Idiot Quiz Summoning Beast" came out, CCTV, Su Hua and Tokyo TV rushed to premiere the animation. However, Meng Huo's choice was somewhat unexpected this time, he put the premiere on CCTV instead of the other two more intimate TV stations.
The biggest reason here is that CCTV offers the highest price, with a million yuan per episode, and has already formulated a promotional plan, which has a strong momentum of winning, and Meng Huo is not easy to refuse.
Tokyo TV already has "Shanna with the Eyes", and there is also a "Genius Mahjong Girl" handed over to Su Hua TV. The two TV stations did not complain when they saw the high prices offered by CCTV.
After CCTV bought "The Idiot Quiz Summoning Beast", it did carry out the biggest publicity plan and even had to give a prime interview to voice actors such as Shen Jie and Xia Chuanzhen.
The lineup of voice actors in "The Idiot Quiz Summoning Beast" is very luxurious. Nakagawa Shi and Takashima Kako respectively dubbed the two heroines. Shen Jie was not the heroine, but she was also very conspicuous. Although she didn't like that character.
"Bastard, is this shemale character who is in line with my characteristics and can make my popularity rise quickly? "When she heard the news, she called Meng Huo and scolded her.
"No, that's not a shemale." Meng Huo assured Shen Jie that the character was not a shemale. Shen Jie had just read the line book for a preliminary time, so naturally he would not know the importance of that character.
This character is more popular than the protagonist in Meng Huo's world. It can even be said to be the first popular character in "The Idiot Quiz Summoning Beast". It is too inappropriate to describe him as a shemale. His gender is unique.
"And he has a special stunt that imitates sound, and only you can match this."
Meng Huo believed that only Shen Jie could match the voice of this character. She could not only change the dubbing required by this character, but also show the character's ventriloquy. This will definitely impress many viewers when it is displayed.
