Chapter 1070: Mahjong Table
After working in Ninghai for a week, Meng Huo finished his work in "One Piece".
Angels and other painters went home for the New Year, and the island studio on Comic Island also ended the work of "The Idiot Quiz Summoning Beast". From the phone, Meng Gouzhi Qin Ya had already brought her puppy home.
Most of the employees of Phoenix Company also went home on holidays, but Meng Huo had to stay in Ninghai for a few days to deal with the aftermath. At this time, Alice heard a message that she was going to stay home for two days.
"You want to go back to Ninghai?" Meng Huo was surprised. Alice wanted to go back to Ninghai's home. Why did she suddenly want to go home when she lived well in Su Hua?
Xu Jing originally planned to visit her during the holiday, so she didn't have to worry about not seeing her parents. Moreover, Alice is quite well-known in Ninghai. Even if she doesn't talk about those reporters with a sharp message, she will never turn a blind eye to her residents, right?
"I haven't been home for half a year, I want to go back and see." Alice did not tell Meng Huo the specific reason, but she said that the old lady of the Meng family promised to hide her so that Meng Huo would not have to worry.
Of course, Meng Huo could not be unworried, but on the other hand, he didn't want to restrict Alice too much. She was more reliable than Chen Jie. Since she dared to come back, she must be sure to hide it from others. After thinking about this, Meng Huo agreed to her return to Ninghai.
Meng Huo happened to rest on the day Alice returned to Ninghai. Not long after he finished breakfast, he suddenly heard the sound of a car outside the door. He opened the door strangely and then saw Li Qin get out of a black car.
"Oh, don't you have to go to work today?" Li Qin looked at Meng Huo in surprise.
"I want to organize the information for two days at home." Meng Huo asked back: "Why are you back?"
"I'm back with Alice." Li Qin asked the black car to leave, and then smiled and said, "She's back and rest for two days. It's a rare opportunity. The Chinese New Year is coming soon. I'll come back to clean the house and go back with her the day after tomorrow."
"Didn't you come back from the high-speed train?"
Meng Huo glanced at the black sedan that was leaving.
"Your grandma asked someone to send us back." Li Qin said. Then she opened the yard and walked in, saying, "Alice has four or five cars and more than twenty bodyguards, so it is not easy to be discovered."
Meng Huo breathed a sigh of relief from his heart. As expected, the old lady was still thoughtful. Taking public transportation could easily reveal her identity, but she sent someone to send Alice back. The chance of exposure was much smaller.
After Li Qin entered the room, Meng Huo picked up his coat from the sofa and said, "I want to go and see Alice... Mom, there will be a courier for me later."
He put on his coat and wanted to walk outside. When Li Qin saw it, she quickly said to him: "What are you doing? Don't go. You are even more likely to get others' eyes than her. If you go, you will definitely cause trouble."
Meng Huo was stunned, but he was right to think about it. If he had gone through, Alice, who would have not been exposed, might have been discovered.
He was about to take off his coat, but Li Qin stopped him again: "Don't be too busy taking off, go and help me call Hua Meng and the others to come over for dinner."
"Isn't it enough to make a phone call?"
"What's the rude call so close? Go and call them over for me." Li Qin said, Meng Huo shook his head and then walked out.
He called Hua Meng and the others over, and the children of several families became lively.
The women helped Li Qin clean the room and go out to buy vegetables. The children were playing. Meng Huo and a few men were pulling weeds in the yard. He didn't expect that Li Qin had this purpose when she called someone over.
"Teacher He Xi, don't you have a job today? Otherwise, just stop pulling it out and let us do it." Mah has been with Meng Huo for a long time recently, and he knows that Meng Huo still has work to finish now.
"Half a day is not in a way." Meng Huo replied. Everyone is working, and it is not good for him to do nothing.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Meng Huo asked about the recent situation of Xi Wenlin and Tomato. Xi Wenlin and another new assistant went smoothly, but Tomato's new comic seemed to have encountered some trouble.
His comics were released last week. Although they ranked very high among newcomer comics, they did not cause any hot effects, and the response was far less than when "Flower Season" was serialized a while ago.
"There are too many types of boy comics. Detective comics are not a popular subject. It's okay if you don't get popular at the beginning. As long as you continue to draw with peace of mind, your grades will definitely rise." Meng Huo said to Tomato. Although he has read Tomato comics, although they won't be amazing, their stamina is good, and the effect should be released in a few months.
Tomato nodded, he was a professional cartoonist. Although he was a little disappointed, his mental state was not affected by his current achievements.
"Teacher, have you heard about Bai Han's situation?" He asked about Bai Han: "Why didn't the girl move after she got home?"
"I don't think she has to worry about it." Meng Huo smiled: "She is preparing a new comic and will get her news after a while."
A few days ago, Bai Han gave him a text message saying that she hoped to send the comics to him in a few months. Seeing her proactive appearance, Meng Huo immediately guessed that her new comics had a clue.
While chatting with Tomato and the others, Meng Huo pulled out the grass in the yard. Then several people washed the door and windows again, and worked until noon. With the efforts of a group of people, the whole house was cleaned.
When Li Qin shouted to eat, Meng Huo walked into the living room and felt that the whole room was completely refreshed. While they were cleaning, the women did not stop.
Although Li Qin's goal did not exist, the assistants seemed to have no dissatisfaction. They were taken care of by Li Qin on weekdays. After lunch came, everyone enthusiastically greeted Li Qin in advance, and Li Qin also took the opportunity to give the children a red envelope.
Halfway through the meal, the doorbell rang.
"I'll do it!" Tomato reacted the fastest, stood up and walked to open the door. Not long after, his shout came from the yard: "Teacher, is this your express delivery? You bought a mahjong table!"
“Express? Mahjong table?”
Everyone on the dining table looked at Meng Huo, wondering in his heart how he could buy a mahjong table.
"Is this the wrong delivery?" Li Qin asked Meng Huo. She remembered that her son had never had any express delivery, and readers' reply letters and comics and magazines were also sent by the editorial department, not to mention that Meng Huo never played mahjong.
"This is mine."
Meng Huo wiped his mouth, got up and went to the yard, and moved the mahjong table with Tomato.
Others looked at several tightly packed large boxes curiously. Li Qin asked in surprise: "Why did you buy a mahjong table?"
"I didn't buy this." Meng Huo replied: "This is what Zhou Qian insisted on sending it to me. It is a custom-made mahjong table by our company and mahjong company because of business needs."
When he said this, someone immediately reacted.
"I understand, "Genius Mahjong Girl"!" said mah.
Meng Huo nodded with a smile: "Yes."
This mahjong table is a specially customized mahjong table for "The Genius Mahjong Girl". Strictly speaking, it is also one of the animation derivatives. When Meng Huo proposed to make this animation, Zhou Qian had already thought of the market for the ‘release mahjong table’.
The animation of "The Genius Mahjong Girl" consists of several seasons. The mahjong tables that appear in each season will be specially designed and have different styles. The mahjong table sent to Meng Huo's house is the mahjong table that will appear in the first season. Meng Huo didn't want it either, but Zhou Qian sent it to him without saying a word.
"That means, is this mahjong table the same as the mahjong table in the animation?" Hua Meng asked curiously.
Meng Huo nodded: "It's the same in theory, but I haven't seen the real thing, and I don't know what it looks like inside."
"This is not simple, just take a look!" Tomato rolled up his sleeves and unpacked the packaging excitedly. The animation of "The Genius Mahjong Girl" has not been broadcast yet. This mahjong table was obviously sent to Meng Huo in advance. Tomato just wanted to see what the mahjong table in the animation looked like.
The mahjong table sent is in bulk and obviously needs to be pieced together by oneself. This is a problem that may be sold online after the animation is broadcast, the mahjong table adopts a patchwork structure in its design.
However, although it was pieced together, when I took the things apart, everyone still thought it was good.
"It looks pretty." "It's still fully automatic!"
The mahjong table is divided into two parts: a table and a table base, and the tabletop is complete. What needs to be pieced together is to install the table base and other things. From the design point of view, this is a fully automatic mahjong table.
The materials of the mahjong table seem to be no different from other fully automatic mahjong tables sold on the world. The difference is that it has some special logos on its appearance, and there are a phoenix pattern on the four edges of the card table.
"Teacher, this is not only the mahjong table for "Genius Mahjong Girl", but more like the mahjong table for Phoenix Company." Tomato said. He did not see any signs of animation on it, but instead felt that its design revolves around Phoenix.
Meng Huo nodded: "You are right to say that."
This mahjong table is not created outside the animation of "Genius Mahjong Girl", but is an object that exists in the animation. Because the same style of mahjong table should appear in the animation, Meng Huo naturally cannot make it too fancy, as this will hinder the plot of the animation.
In fact, at the beginning, Zhou Qian suggested that Meng Huo change the back of the mahjong plaque to the phoenix pattern. This not only can it be sold on the mahjong table, but it can also be sold on the mahjong plaque, but it will obviously be better for the price.
But Meng Huo rejected her proposal. If the pattern on the back of the mahjong plaque is changed, it would be too fancy. The audience's eyes must be attracted by the pattern on the back, which is worse than blank. He designed this mahjong table in a way that does not affect the plot.
The mahjong table is very simple, and there are actually not many patterns, but they are placed in a very suitable place. Meng Huo was very satisfied with it when he saw it. But in the eyes of Tomato and the others, the characteristics of this mahjong table are obviously not very enough.
"Although it is beautiful, but its characteristics are not obvious. Can this be sold?"
Hua Meng asked, the fully automatic mahjong table is a very expensive thing, and this mahjong table does not show its very special features. Except for the dead fans of "Genius Mahjong Girl", I am afraid no one else will buy it.
But Meng Huo didn't care: "Sell as much as you can. I'm not making animations to sell mahjong tables."
He knew very well that the mahjong table was just a part of Zhou Qian's business, but this was not his business. He could not make harmful changes to the animation of "Genius Mahjong Girl" for the sake of the mahjong table. If he valued the mahjong table too much and damaged the animation, it would be put before the horse.
"The teacher is right, I'm wrong." Hua Meng nodded and smiled, "But there's a mahjong table, so everyone can play mahjong together in the afternoon!"
"Okay!", "Good idea!"
The assistants' eyes lit up, and Li Qin agreed. Mahjong is a very popular sport in China, so Li Qin naturally did it. In fact, when she had nothing to do in the past, she would occasionally go to Teacher Huameng’s house to play with her mahjong table.
However, they are not particularly interested in mahjong, and they will do their best to play occasionally, so Meng Huo doesn't know about this.
He was surprised to hear Li Qin agree: "Mom, can you play mahjong?"
"You can even draw mahjong animations, why can't I do it?" Li Qin gave Meng Huo a blank look, and she wondered in her heart where this child learned mahjong!
"Where did you learn mahjong? Don't gamble!"
Although Li Qin felt that Meng Huo could not use mahjong to gamble, she still couldn't help but reminded that there were too many people gambling mahjong, and there were so many gambling in her heart.
"How is that possible!" Meng Huo smiled bitterly, and then said that he had played mahjong while traveling in the past, but he was not completely lying. During his high school trip, he did play mahjong with others, but it was even earlier to learn mahjong, and that would have to be discussed in his previous life.
"Okay, let's have a meal first, and then chat after dinner!"
Li Qin urged Tomato and Meng Huo to return to the dining table. After dinner, the assistants put the mahjong table in place and then played mahjong with Li Qin, while Meng Huo went back to the room to sort out the information.
The animation of "The Genius Mahjong Girl" will be broadcasted in its first episode today. Zhou Qian counted the time to send the mahjong table to Meng Huo. After Meng Huo sorted out the information, he walked downstairs and prepared to wait for the animation to be broadcast.
He watched several people playing mahjong at the mahjong table, but he didn't expect that the person who was best at playing would be Tomato.
"Teacher, are you going to play a game?" Tomato won for an afternoon and didn't leave her seat. Seeing Meng Huo appear, she couldn't help but provoke him.
"Teacher He Xi, come up and teach him a lesson!" Wang Yanmeng said, she lost in a coward manner. When she saw Tomato provocation, she immediately responded to Meng Huo: "Teacher Tomato, don't be proud. Teacher He Xi can make mahjong animations and his card skills must be better than you."
Meng Huo couldn't help laughing when he heard this: "Yan Meng, you don't have to praise me anymore. My skills are not very good."
