Chapter 1107: You are leaving again
"Do you need to pour tea? Master."
"No, I've finished processing these files, I have to go to work."
In the office, Meng Huo handed Xia Ying a stack of documents and got up to leave.
"Young Master." Before he left, Xia Ying suddenly asked, "Have the time for the young lady to come has been decided?"
"Yeah, I've decided." Meng Huo called Xu Jing in the morning and officially decided on the future arrangements: "Sorry, you have just been here for less than two months, and you have to follow me to travel to other places again in the future."
"No, I'm happy."
Xia Ying smiled.
Meng Huo came to the island studio, and Qin Ya was happy when she saw him: "Teacher He Xi, did you read the script yesterday? How about my new theme?"
"Very good." Meng Huo praised: "This comic is more suitable for you than the previous one."
He took the time to read some of Qin Ya's scripts last night. Although he had not finished reading it, the theme and the beginning were well written, and the plot was more interesting than Phoenix.
"Are you buying the Midsummer issue today?"
After sitting down, Meng Huo asked.
"Yes, teacher, have you forgotten to buy it?" Qin Ya took out the comic magazine from the bag and handed it to Meng Huo.
"It's too busy this morning and I don't have time to buy it."
Meng Huo took over the magazine and saw that the Legend of Sword and Fairy once again appeared on the cover, with an advertising slogan next to it: The popular new work no.1 for three consecutive weeks!
"It's worthy of being the cartoonist you like, teacher. That Zhao Mei is not a good-looking guy." Qin Ya praised: "This is her third consecutive week. In this magazine, Legend of Sword and Fairy is simply an invincible work."
Meng Huo nodded, but was not very happy. Zhongxia Daily's sales frequency was very high. The cover said that it was the first place for three consecutive weeks. In fact, it should be the first place on the day of the serialization of the Legend of Sword and Fairy, and it does not mean that it was the first place among all the serialized comics of Zhongxia Company.
The comics that are ranked first in Zhongxia are still Jingyue's works, followed by Angels, and the ranking of Legend of Sword and Fairy has just reached fifth.
This fifth place was ranked first based on Zhao Mei's painting skills. During this period, newspapers and news, and even readers' discussions on the Legend of Sword and Fairy, have basically revolved around Zhao Mei, but few people paid attention to the original writer "Qilin".
There is nothing I can do about this. As a beautiful cartoonist, Zhao Mei is very eye-catching, and her painting skills and original popularity are added. Now she is attracting much attention.
In comparison, Qilin is a mysterious writer with no background, and even no "talent" to show. It is good that people naturally don't like him or not scold him too badly.
"The future of this comic is so worrying. If you continue like this, when will you get over the angel?" Meng Huo couldn't help but shake his head after reading the comic.
The quality of this issue of Legend of Sword and Fairy is still the same, but the progress is still too slow.
"The teacher said that the Legend of Sword and Fairy can pass the works of an angel?" Qin Ya, who was painting on the side, looked over in surprise when she heard Meng Huo's words.
"Yes." Meng Huo said strangely: "Is there any problem?"
"What's the problem?" Qin Ya was speechless: "Does the teacher really think that the Legend of Sword and Fairy can surpass the angels? Although it is true that it is a good work, will the teacher's expectations be too high."
Because of Meng Huo, she has been following the Legend of Sword and Fairy for several weeks. Although the comics are good, it is too exaggerated to be more angels. Isn’t it said that Zhao Mei is even more powerful than her?
"There should be no problem with the Angel of Yue." Meng Huo did not change his mind.
This is not because he looks down on Angels, but because Angels are increasingly focused on comics in recent years. They focus on animations and animated movies, and are now busy with One Piece. Comics are no longer the focus, and there is no sign of launching new comics.
In this case, it is natural for the Legend of Sword and Fairy to be more angels. If even an unintentional opponent cannot be defeated, Meng Huo will not have to trouble arranging a vest in Zhongxia Company and give up directly.
"Where is Jingyue?" Qin Ya smiled: "Teacher, you are so optimistic about the comic combination of Legend of Sword and Qilin. Don't you think Jingyue will be overcome by them, right?"
"Mirror Moon" Meng Huo pondered for a moment: "There may be a chance in the future, but this comic is not possible."
He dared not underestimate Lisa. Lisa's painting skills are by no means inferior to Zhao Mei. In addition, she has gathered a lot of popularity through many excellent short comics and has a stable foundation. The reader's trust is very high, almost second only to He Xi.
Now in China, if you mention the name of a cartoonist, you can make readers believe that this comic is a good work, then there is only Jingyue except He Xi.
Even after the end of the Legend of Sword and Fairy, its plot shocking can be more profound than Jingyue's works. However, with this work, Meng Huo did not have the confidence to say that Qilin could catch up with Jingyue.
The foundation of Jingyue is solid, and Qilin needs time to cultivate readers and fans, and it is unlikely to fight against Jingyue in a short period of time.
"Of course it's impossible." Qin Ya finally felt at ease when she saw Meng Huo answering. She thought Meng Huo blindly trusted Qilin, but now she seemed to be rational.
"How can Qilin pass through Jingyue?" Qin Ya raised her eyebrows: "Jingyue's strong rival is not this kind of newcomer combination, but teacher, don't be too leisurely, that's a very terrifying opponent."
"Why do you say that?"
Meng Huo was surprised that Qin Ya would say this.
"Because she is a big beauty." Qin Ya said seriously: "Once her true identity is revealed, her popularity will skyrocket and her popularity will increase several times. Then she will be able to challenge you from the same level."
Meng Huo was stunned and frowned immediately. Qin Ya's words sounded exaggerated, but when she thought about it carefully, it was not an exaggeration at all.
The cartoonist reveals his true identity not only to let the original fans know you, but also has a strong publicity effect. Especially for the cartoonist with distinctive identity, once the identity is revealed, major media will pay close attention to it. It is very common for several times of popularity to double.
Take Meng Huo's identity as an example. He became famous almost overnight. Because of his amazing youth, appearance, and story background, all media reported it extensively. As a result, it was not only a comic reader. Many ordinary people also began to pursue him.
In his hometown of Qingcheng, there were not many people who knew him and people didn’t read comics. But after his identity was revealed, no one didn’t know him anymore. It can be said that he was no longer a ‘comic artist’ at that time. He was a star.
Meng Huo's popularity has increased more than a few times through the "disclosure of identity". It is possible that people who know the name "He Xi" have increased tenfold.
Now Lisa is facing almost the same situation as Meng Huo back then, and her conditions are no worse than Meng Huo.
A cartoonist who has no face, no stories and characteristics. Maybe after revealing his identity, it will dim immediately after it is revealed. But Lisa obviously doesn't. Her appearance, country, and stories are all full of topics and attractive things, and she has never said that she is a woman. If this gender is exposed, it will be more exciting than Meng Huo's topic back then.
Nowadays, Lisa, whose popularity is second only to He Xi in the comics industry, will be so terrifying when she reveals her identity? She will be well-known in a short time.
"So that's how it's how it's how it's how it's how it's how it's how it's how it's how it's how it's like"
Meng Huo suddenly knew why Lisa chose the cooking theme of the new comic. Perhaps she wanted to take this opportunity to catch up with him in one go, and then defeat him with this comic that is more suitable for the "Chinese taste"!
After the identity is revealed, Lisa will usher in her most precious golden time. If she uses this period to launch comics with previous works, the more she will become more popular, her popularity will leap several steps, and will firmly lock the readers and will not lose them.
But this is also an adventure. If she fails at this time, the publicity effect will soon pass. Let Lisa reach her current popularity level. If she wants to catch up with Meng Huo in the future, she will have to wait for another long time.
The suspense of Jingyue’s true identity has now become Lisa’s biggest weapon, and if used well, it is to catch up with Meng Huo’s weapon.
"This sister-in-law is very ambitious."
Meng Huo thought to himself, but he didn't hate it. He admired Lisa's ambitions very much.
He thought in his mind that he had to help Jingyue, so that she could become more popular after she came out, and the Legend of the Fire Fairy Sword was a little slower. It took several years for Qilin to cultivate, and Jingyue could still reverse the decline of Zhongxia in advance.
“How to do it?”
Meng Huo thought so, and then he didn't continue to talk about this topic with Qin Ya. At noon, he continued to work during his rest time.
And just like yesterday, Qin Ya packed him up and brought him lunch.
"Teacher He Xi. I heard that Miss Alice is coming?"
Qin Ya looked particularly happy after putting lunch on the table.
"Yes." Meng Huo nodded: "Where did you know?"
"I met Miss He Qian while having dinner, and it was her who told me." Qin Ya suddenly looked at Meng Huo suspiciously: "It's a coincidence that the woman before is really not Miss Alice?"
"Of course not." Meng Huo shook his head.
"But they look too similar, just like sisters, huh? What did I say just now?" Qin Ya said something and found out what she said. Her eyes lit up and she felt that she was too smart: "Can they really be sisters?"
Meng Huo was stunned.
"Absolutely, Miss Alice also said to visit relatives when she left. That woman must have something to do with her. They are neither sisters nor cousins!" Qin Ya thought about it more and more, and clapped her hands and said, "Otherwise, how could you know that she is Jingyue? This must be what Miss Alice told you, right?"
Qin Ya stared at Meng Huo enthusiastically. She always felt that Meng Huo knew Jingyue’s identity was strange. However, if Lisa and Alice were sisters, all this would make sense.
"You are so clever." Meng Huo nodded. Since he had been guessed, he had to admit: "That woman is Alice's sister and a cartoonist."
Qin Ya's eyes shined more and more: "It's so amazing, Miss Alice's sister is actually Jingyue!"
"Don't tell others." Meng Huo reminded that this matter will no longer be a secret after a while, but it cannot be disclosed yet.
"I'm tight-lipped."
Qin Ya was already very satisfied with the answer.
"But teacher, since Jingyue is Miss Alice's sister, why don't you dig her into our company?" she continued.
In her opinion, if Jingyue was Alice's sister, Phoenix Company would definitely use this reason to win her over.
"She won't come here. Zhongxia has the grace of cultivating Jingyue." Meng Huo shook his head and said, "And she can play a greater role in Zhongxia than in our company."
Qin Ya thought to herself that Phoenix Company is now stronger than Zhongxia Company. When Jingyue comes, she will not only be considered ungrateful, but she also has to give up being the "first" position in a company. I think she won't do this.
Although she had never seen Jingyue, Qin Ya read her comics for several years and knew that she was a person who was unyielding. She was different from herself. She would not be willing to come to Phoenix Company to be a "second" cartoonist.
"What a pity, but forget it, Miss Alice is coming, I have to celebrate!" Qin Ya said with joy, "She has been away for a long time this time. When she comes, you can be relaxed, teacher."
"easy?"
"That's right, when Miss Alice was here, she was the boss of the company. Now her job is on you and Mr. Xu. When she comes, your job will be less."
Qin Ya was happy. By that time, Meng Huo would have more time to work with her.
"" Meng Huo hesitated for a moment, stopped the chopsticks in his hand, and said, "Qin Ya, I have something to tell you."
"What?" Qin Ya happily poured tea for Meng Huo.
"I probably won't work here after Alice comes."
Sooner or later, Meng Huo decided to remind Qin Ya first: "I will leave for one or two years, and then you will be the director of the Island Studio."
"Bang"
Qin Ya's teapot fell to the ground, sprinkled a table of water, and splashed Meng Huo's clothes.
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry." Qin Ya took out a tissue in a panic and wiped her clothes for Meng Huo: "But it's all the blame for the teacher, don't suddenly laugh at this time."
"I wasn't joking." Meng Huo thought Qin Ya was shocked by the sudden appointment.
He smiled and said, "You're fine. I've watched you in the past few years. Every time I have something to do, you are leading everyone to make animations. After so long, you can now guide the island studio independently."
"I didn't say this." Qin Ya stopped the movement in her hand. She lowered her head and held Meng Huo's clothes, her voice a little cold: "Teacher, are you leaving again?" (To be continued.)
