Chapter 1135: Anyway
After a beautiful sleep, Meng Huo began his first day in Tokyo.
Without understanding the current situation of Sakura Company, he first needed to visit each department. Takako Takashima led him to spend the morning to learn about the situation at Phoenix Building and went through all other departments except the animation department.
At noon, Xia Ying also arrived in Tokyo successfully.
"This is Xia Ying, my new secretary." Meng Huo introduced Xia Ying to the Takashima and his wife in the office. Of course, even if he did not introduce her, both of them knew Xia Ying.
Xia Ying also knew Takashima and his wife. Shortly after joining Phoenix Company, she figured out the main leaders in various parts of the company.
"Xia Ying is very capable. I feel at ease when you three work together well in the future."
After lunch, when Xia Ying and his wife were having a good chat, Meng Huo announced something and handed over part of his work to Xia Ying.
Except for things that must be handled by themselves, most of the business will be handled by Xia Ying and Takashima couple in the future. This means that Xia Ying, the secretary, has the same status as the Takashima couple.
Suddenly, a secretary who shared rights came, and the Takashima couple was somewhat uncomfortable. However, Xia Ying had the experience of a president of a large company in the past, and this experience made her look very experienced. Apart from some discomfort, the Takashima couple was convinced by this arrangement.
After lunch, Meng Huo planned to go to the animation department to take a look.
However, before he could set off, another person came to visit him, Wang Xiaopeng, the director of the Far East Regional Branch of the Phoenix Business Department.
"I heard Zhou Qian talk about you, and I heard that you are very capable." Meng Huo said to the fat man in front of him.
Wang Xiaopeng is a very distinctive person. He is very fat. But he is not the disgusting obesity of entrepreneurs who are full of wine or meat, or the individual officials. But a very natural obesity.
Wang Xiaopeng is only 32 years old this year. Apart from obesity, his temperament is very honest and simple, which reminds Meng Huo of Liu Yi's past Liu Yi's feeling.
"I, I don't have any ability. That's because Minister Zhou praised me too much..." Wang Xiaopeng was praised by Meng Huo, so nervous that he even stuttered a little, and his aura was not like a supervisor.
"Just as Zhou Qian said."
Meng Huo∈∈, nodded secretly, and Zhou Qian told him that Wang Xiaopeng was not a person who was good at dealing with people, but in fact he was a little shy. His personality in his thirties looked similar to a college student who had just left society.
Now seeing himself, he did give Meng Huo the same feeling. However, because of this, Meng Huo is increasingly looking forward to Wang Xiaopeng's ability.
Wang Xiaopeng is not conspicuous in terms of personality, relationships, and appearance. On the contrary, he may be much worse than his peers and does not have the majesty of being a supervisor.
Since that's the case, Zhou Qian promoted him to supervisor, it must be because he does have extraordinary business abilities, and he is definitely not an ordinary extraordinary person.
"You are from Ninghai, are you?" Meng Huo asked again.
"Yes." Wang Xiaopeng nodded. He is one of the oldest employees of Phoenix Company. He was originally just an ordinary accountant at the headquarters. During the process of Phoenix Company's expansion and reform, he was arranged by chance to help under Zhou Qian, and then she was excavated.
Wang Xiaopeng witnessed Phoenix Company's development from a simple comic company to a giant today, with a scale and performance increasing hundreds of times. Therefore, more than 90% of people, he must understand how terrifying the young man sitting in front of him is.
Standing in front of Meng Huo, Wang Xiaopeng was tense and he was very nervous. This was due to the fear of the old employees.
"Then Zhou Qian told you everything. Starting today, the business units in the Far East region will also be managed by me." Meng Huo said.
Wang Xiaopeng nodded. He knew that the vice president had come to Tokyo and that all the business in the Far East region would be managed by him, and even the headquarters had no right to interfere.
"Just report what you usually do to Xia Ying."
Meng Huo pointed to Xia Ying beside him, and Xia Ying smiled at Wang Xiaopeng: "You can hand over all the reports at work to me. If you have any questions, you can discuss them with me. I will be responsible for screening and handing them over to him if you need to deal with the vice president."
Xia Ying perfectly served as a competent secretary. She knew Meng Huo's psychology very well and was happy to share his worries.
"I understand." Wang Xiaopeng breathed a sigh of relief. Although he would be a little nervous when facing a noble lady like Xia Ying, it would be much better than facing He Xi.
After arranging the work, Meng Huo asked Wang Xiaopeng to go down.
"Young Master, don't you give him any tasks?" As soon as Wang Xiaopeng left, Xia Ying's name immediately became 'Young Master'. She knew that Meng Huo had many ideas for reform in the surrounding industries this time. Strangely, he didn't even give instructions.
"No hurry, I have to make a while."
Meng Huo stood up and replied that he had come to Tokyo this time and had many business directions to try, but no plans could be launched in a hasty way before understanding the situation.
"Xia Ying, I'll go to the animation department to see it. You can also learn more about the company with Mr. Takashima and others." Meng Huo gave Xia Ying instructions, and then walked towards the animation department.
The animation department where Bai Yan is located is also in the building, and the design is the same as that of Ninghai and Manga Island. The headquarters buildings in each area basically coexist with the comic editorial department and the animation production department, as well as basic departments such as the Human Resources Department and the Finance Department.
Voice actors, peripheral businesses have other office locations. The headquarters of the surrounding and derivative industries in the Far East region led by Wang Xiaopeng is in the Fifth Economic Development Zone of Tokyo.
Meng Huo has never been there yet. After all, this branch appeared at the end of the year before yesterday, a little later than the independence of the voice actor firm. Before that, Zhou Qian had no regional branches in various places.
In the corridor in front of the animation department, there are many animation posters, from "Dragon and Tiger" to "Shana with the Eyes", and even new animation posters that have not been aired have been posted.
"I'll hang up so soon."
Meng Huo stood under the poster and looked at the poster.
Maybe someone saw him, just as Meng Huo was watching the poster, Bai Yan came out of the animation department: "Teacher He Xi, how about it? This is the poster of "Unknown Flower Name".
"The poster is good. But since you call it "Unknown Flower Name", why not change the name?"
Meng Huo pointed to the title on the poster and said. Bai Yan said "Unknown Flower Name" in her mouth, and the poster shows such an amazing name "We Still Don't Know the Name of the Flower We Seen That Day".
"Unknown Flower Name" is an animation script that Meng Huo previously handed over to Bai Yan. The original name is also "We Still Don't Know the Name of the Flower We Seen That Day", which is referred to as "Unknown Flower Name".
Compared to the very long name, Meng Huo prefers the short name "Unknown Flower Name". However, he wrote the long name of the original work in the script and original structure he handed over to Bai Yan, and asked Bai Yan to choose it himself, while she chose "We Still Don't Know the Name of the Flower That Day" as the official title of the animation.
This title, text alone, accounts for a large part of the poster.
"The name of "Unknown Flowers" is simpler, but "We Still Don't Know the Name of the Flowers We See That Day" is more suitable for publicity." Bai Yan said with a smile: "With such a long name, others will have an impression when they hear it."
There has never been an animation with such a long name in China. It is much more convenient to promote it.
"The TV station likes this name very much. Director Sasaki said that this name has widened the distance from other animations and saved them a lot of money." Bai Yan led Meng Huo to the animation department: "Teacher, look at our work."
"It will be broadcast next week..." Meng Huo asked.
"Yes, the voice actor firm is dubbing the first episode, and we have started to produce the second episode." Bai Yan took Meng Huo to check the production of the animation.
"We Still Don't Know the Name of the Flower We Seen That Day" is a very delicate animation, telling the story of the six people who grew up together as they walked different paths when they grew up, and then because of the appearance of the souls of a young companion, the scattered people gathered together again.
Strictly speaking, this animation is not about telling a tragic story, but it is a completely tear-jerking animation. The plot reaches people's hearts.
"...It's more than enough for this level." Meng Huo looked at the results of the animation department. Bai Yan did not disappoint him as usual.
However, "We Still Don't Know the Name of the Flower We Seen That Day" is different from "The Emblem of Fire". The script and original structure prepared by Meng Huo are very detailed, and the thick stack is even greater than most previous animations. The difficulty of making Bai Yan is not high.
"It's good that you're satisfied." Bai Yan smiled even better when she heard Meng Huo's praise: "This animation is also a surprise to me, and I have spent a lot of effort to prepare it."
When she got the script of "We Still Don't Know the Name of the Flower We Seen That Day", Bai Yan was quite surprised that Meng Huo would hand over such a tear-jerking work to herself. She always thought that only Island Studio would get such a work.
Anime fans all know that He Xi's tearjer animation is his famous brand. He Xi has never handed over tearjer animations to others in the past, such as "The Rebellious Lelouch", "The Magical Girl Xiaoyuan", etc.
The only exception to "atstaynight", but this animation is also He Xi collaborated with Angels, with a luxurious team, and Bai Yan's animation team members are not as good as them.
Therefore, when Bai Yan got the script of "We Still Don't Know the Name of the Flower We See That Day", he was really excited and the entire department was particularly happy. If this animation could be done well, they might get a better script in the future.
"Why didn't you see them?"
Meng Huo checked the animation and glanced at the studio a bit strangely.
"They?" Bai Yan was stunned, but there were not many people in this department that could make Meng Huo mention, and she immediately understood that Meng Huo was referring to his two assistants in the past.
And when Bai Yan thinks of them, it is a bit of a pity.
"After the end of "Shana with the Eyes", they resigned with me." Bai Yan replied: "They are now back in Ninghai and are concentrating on painting "Flower Season"."
Meng Huo was relieved and turned out to be back to Ninghai. Unfortunately, he didn't ask when he went back last time, otherwise he could also see their situation.
But there shouldn't be too timid. After Qin Ya's "Phoenix" was completed, "Flower Season" had no competitors, and the serialization is now very popular.
"You just said that the first episode of "Unknown Flower Name" is being dubbed, right?" Meng Huo asked Bai Yan.
Bai Yan looked at the time: "I am still in a good position now, why don't I accompany you to see it with me?"
"Okay." Meng Huo nodded, the headquarters of the voice actors in the Far East region is opposite Sakura Company.
The voice actor building is so close, mainly for the convenience of dubbing. Because animations often require dubbing, it is more convenient for the two to cooperate with each other, while surrounding businesses are arranged closer to the industrial park, thus facilitating product development.
"Teacher, this is your first time here?" After entering the voice actor building, Bai Yan led the way in front.
"The last time I came here, the place was still being renovated." Meng Huo replied that when he came to Tokyo the previous year, the voice actor firm had already started renovating here.
In just over a year, the attention of this building in Tokyo seemed to be higher than that of the Cherry Blossom Company opposite. When Meng Huo walked over, there were a lot of reporters around the door here.
Although Bai Yan called the security guard when she came out, it took a lot of effort to get in.
Meng Huo thought this was mainly due to Kako Takashima. Out of concern for her daughter, the Takashima couple asked her daughter to regard her Tokyo office as the headquarters. Kako Takashima's main voiceover was completed here, and her performances in the Far East region exceeded other places.
She is now the top four voice actor in Phoenix Company, with a high popularity and her influence in the extreme east region is no less than that in Xiachuan.
"Are Xiangzi here today?" Meng Huo asked.
"Kanko is on tour in Hokkaido, but the real lady is still there..." Bai Yan smiled and said, "She has to stay here for three days."
Unlike Kako Takashima, Natsukawa is now a true national idol, with performances all over the country, perhaps more than Meng Huo has been to.
Xiachuan's real management still belongs to the headquarters of Manga Island, but she only has a few opportunities to go back every year. Especially after taking a leave last time, her work arrangements are now very closely arranged, and the occasional rest time is not wasted at all. She was arranged to rest in Yanjing to attract traffic to Zhou Qian's square.
Xia Chuan has now become a treasure, and the best publicity work is even much better than Meng Huo's. This is not the difference in popularity, but the difference between professional stars and amateur idols.
"So, is the truth in it now?" Meng Huo asked.
"Not here." Bai Yan replied very affirmatively: "She is a top star. If the real lady is here, we wouldn't have been able to get in just now... She has too many followers."
Top stars, no matter where they go, there will be a large number of media and fans waiting in advance for Xia Chuan to be in this stage.
"But why didn't she meet the reporter when she picked me up yesterday?" Meng Huo was surprised.
Chapter completed!
