March 1, Phoenix Building

Xu Jing looked down at the scene below through the reinforced glass wall. There were people coming and going on the streets and traffic was dense. This was the same as usual.

In the past, every comic of He Xi would cause a burst of madness. People could be seen reading comics on the streets and in bookstores. However, the scene after the broadcast of "Pokemon" was very dull, as if it could not see its effect.

If the newspaper on the table told Xu Jing how the animation was broadcast, and how lively it was in Ninghai, he might have thought that the animation had failed. The difference between animation and comics is here. When the animation data was not released, it would be difficult for you to judge whether it was successful or not from the social scene.

"No, maybe I'm out of the crowd..."

Xu Jing started to laugh at himself when he thought about it. "Pokemon" was undoubtedly a great success, but he did not live in the crowd. If he was an ordinary old man to take a walk, buy groceries, take buses and subways, he should be able to hear many people talking about this animation.

Being separated from the crowd is a sign of a person's success. Xu Jing has worked hard for most of his life, but he can no longer find the feeling of exploring at the bottom of society back then, and his body cannot support that kind of life state.

If possible, Xu Jing hopes that he can maintain his current life and status.

But this kind of thing can no longer continue. After the broadcast of "Pokemon" last night, many things changed unknowingly overnight. Today's world is completely different from the world a day ago.

Xu Jing's gaze turned to the entrance of the Phoenix Building, and a bright red Porsche parked there, and two boys, a man and a woman walked out of the car. Xu Jing did not pay attention to the girl, he stared at the boy, with complicated thoughts.

"Menghuo, how do I keep you in Phoenix?"

Today is the day when Phoenix Company starts its construction. The editorial department has not yet fully started working, but everyone in the animation production department has arrived. The production of "Pokemon" is urgent, and no one dares to be lazy.

Meng Huo took Shen Jie into the building.

"Hello, Teacher He Xi..."

"Good morning, Teacher He Xi..."

Everyone I met on the road greeted Meng Huo with respect. Now everyone in the company knows that He Xi, the manager of the animation production department, naturally seems to be extremely enthusiastic. In contrast, Shen Jie, who has a stunning appearance, seems to have been forgotten, which makes Shen Jie feel very novel. She will attract attention from others wherever she goes, but when she walks beside Meng Huo, she has become a green leaf.

"Good morning."

Meng Huo responded to other people's greetings with a smile, and only recovered when he walked to the office.

"Teacher He Xi."

In the office, Li Hua and Zhong Yue have been waiting for Meng Huo for a long time. When they saw him in, they stood up and said, "Good news, the animation ratings of "Pokemon" are very high!"

"Teacher He Xi. We can wait for other TV stations to come!"

Both of them looked excited, and Meng Huo noticed what they said: "Have the ratings been out?"

"No, this is not yet." Li Hua smiled and said, "But we have people we know on the TV station. He told us that the Pokemon has a rating of at least 15%!"

“15%?”

Meng Huo frowned slightly. The ratings of "The Cat and the Mouse" seem to be 34%, and "Pokemon" still has a long way to go. But that doesn't matter, after all, one episode has only been released.

"Li Hua. Take Chen Jie down." Meng Huo said: "She promised to continue to be a voice actor, and you can find some people to teach her."

Chen Jie learned to dubbing for a while before the Chinese New Year, but if she wants to become a professional voice actor, she still needs to go through more professional guidance.

"Okay." Li Hua nodded, then left with Chen Jie. Before leaving, Chen Jie said goodbye to Meng Huo.

"Where is He Qian?" After the two women left, Meng Huo asked Zhong Yue: "Didn't you say she wants to work in the company?"

He felt very strange that he didn't see He Qian next to Li Hua and Zhong Yue.

"It's not that early." Zhong Yue smiled bitterly: "She has just been discharged from the hospital and needs to rest for a while. We will bring her again later."

"Then let her rest for a while." Meng Huo nodded, thinking that this was fine.

"Teacher He Xi. This is today's worksheet..." Then, Zhong Yue took out a worksheet and the two started working.

This day was very busy. Chen Jie stayed in the dubbing room separated by transparent glass. She could always see Meng Huo walking past outside. Some adults followed behind his butt, holding information and images and talking nonstop. As long as Meng Huo pointed out something, these adults would look very frustrated.

“So awesome…”

Chen Jie was stunned when she saw it, and she had a few times the dubbing was out of tune.

However, Meng Huo was really busy. After just returning from the Chinese New Year, many artists and employees were unable to find their status and made mistakes in their work. Meng Huo had to check the situation of various departments, and also hold meetings to study. Even at noon, when there was finally a rest, the Guoyou Tong from Ninghai TV arrived.

"What is he here to do?"

I was surprised that Meng Huo still took time to see him.

The purpose of Guole Tong came to Phoenix Company is to win more broadcast rights for "Pokemon". Ninghai TV wants the exclusive premiere of this animation, leading other local TV stations a week, and replaying it on Wednesday afternoon based on the existing broadcast.

After a series of bargaining, Ninghai TV station gave a price of 1 million yuan per episode. This figure surprised Meng Huo. The TV station was so generous that he agreed immediately.

Immediately, Meng Huo announced the news to an important member of the animation production department.

“1 million!”

"Oh my God, this is too high!"

Everyone was shocked by this amount. The Ninghai TV station alone filled the production cost of "Pokemon" with 1 million yuan, not only filled it up, but even achieved several times the profit. This was unimaginable when they were still Huayue Animation Studio.

“The animation is indeed important…”

"Fortunately, the leader is Teacher He Xi, not Li Tianhui..."

"Looking at the bottom of the groove, we will all become more developed in the future!"

Many people think this way, their hearts are rising and their eyes are shining, as if they see their wages rising rapidly.

"The production cost of each episode will be increased to 400,000 in the future." Meng Huo looked at the excited faces and smiled: "You should do this animation seriously and you will definitely pay in the future."

He knew what these people were thinking, so he simply made a promise.

"Long live Teacher He Xi!"

"I love you, team leader!"

The passion of the backbone of the animation production department immediately came up. After work in the afternoon, the news quietly spread to other people's ears. The entire animation production department became excited and its work efficiency increased greatly.

Meng Huo looked at the progress. Two days later, the second episode of "Pokemon" will be released.

In the afternoon, when we were about to get off work, Alice found Meng Huo: "My dad wants to see you."

"good."

Meng Huo thought it was a new subject matter, so he put down his work.

"I read your new comic today." Alice said while taking the elevator: "The story is very good, the rhythm is very good. I like the picture when Saber appears. It would be great if you can draw more beautifully."

She looked at Meng Huo tentatively, and Meng Huo guessed that she wanted to draw that very beautiful picture herself.

"Fate/Staynight" tells a story about a group of people fighting to snatch a holy grail that can realize their wishes. Saber is a very important character in it, and it is not an exaggeration to say that he is the heroine.

Saber is a heroic spirit summoned by the protagonist. Of course, the scene of her appearance is important, and Alice's request is not excessive at all.

"OK."

Meng Huo agreed very simply.

"Also, I always feel a strange feeling when I read this comic. Just in case, I want to ask you, those heroes..." Alice wanted to say something, but the elevator jingled, and she had to stop the topic: "I'll ask this question later, you go see my dad first."

Meng Huo nodded and walked out of the elevator, and walked into Xu Jing's office with Alice.

His office was still waving with the fragrance of tea. Meng Huo had studied with Xu Jing for a while here and was already very familiar with this smell.

"You are here, Alice, you sit first." After Xu Jing asked his daughter to sit down, he laughed at Meng Huo: "Meng Huo, please help us make some tea. I haven't drunk the tea you made for a while."

"good."

Meng Huo nodded slightly and went to get the tea skillfully.

His attitude made Xu Jing very satisfied. He then shook his head and sat down on the sofa opposite Alice with a bunch of information. Xu Jing placed the information on the small table, which Alice gave to him during the day and has now read.

"Is this subject OK?"

Meng Huo brewed the tea, served it to the table, and asked carefully.

"Well, it's a very interesting subject." Xu Jing picked up the tea cup and took a few sips, exclaiming: "You are not unfamiliar with making tea. Do you also drink tea at home?"

"This..." Meng Huo was stunned for a moment, then shook his head and said, "I don't drink tea at home."

In his opinion, tea and water are not much different.

"How can I not drink it! Tea is the essence of Chinese culture. Drinking more tea will not harm you!" Xu Jing glared. He was a standard tea fan and wanted to promote his tea philosophy whenever he had the opportunity.

However, Meng Huo had become accustomed to it, and he flew out after entering his left ear and his right ear.

Xu Jing talked about the benefits of drinking tea for a few minutes, and finally turned the topic back.

"This subject is interesting, it's interesting," he said. "But the operability is too low, so the company's cartoonists can't directly draw..."

This answer is exactly the same as Alice, Meng Huo was a little disappointed, but after Xu Jing said that he couldn't, the topic suddenly changed.

"Meng Huo, the company wants to hold a reader meeting for cartoonist He Xi. What are your opinions? This "Oriental Fantasy Country"...you can release it at the party."
