Chen Jie spent a day tricking her two roommates back to school.

On Sunday, Phoenix Company was on a collective holiday, and some departments worked for two consecutive weeks. No matter how high the overtime pay was, it would not compensate the employees' resentment.

Meng Huo also didn't have to go to work, which made Chen Jie happy. She planned to do something, but just after breakfast, Meng Huo actually put on her coat and went out.

"What are you going to do?"

Chen Jie followed and asked.

"Go to meet a CCTV director." Meng Huo turned around and replied: "She wants the animation copyright of "Detective Conan", and I have to meet her."

In order to prove his words, Meng Huo took out his business card and showed it to Chen Jie, and asked, "Is there anything else you have?"

"No." Chen Jie looked very disappointed.

She felt that she was hit, but even though she knew that Meng Huo was deliberately avoiding her, Chen Jie still couldn't stop him from working, and she didn't want to make Meng Huo angry.

"Bon Voyage."

Chen Jie stood at the door with a reluctant smile and watched Meng Huo leave.

She was very sad. Although she could ask for leave from the school, it was actually very difficult to spend two days a week with Meng Huo.

Chen Jie's life is very busy. During five working days, she took a day off to go to Phoenix Company to dub and learn singing skills with Huang Ye every day. In order to prevent her from falling behind others in her studies, the girl only has less than five hours of sleep.

But Chen Jie never felt that such a life was not good. She could be with Meng Huo on holiday, and she would be willing to be busy no matter how busy she was. Unfortunately, they did not have much contact in the past two days, which made Chen Jie feel empty. She wasted two days in vain.

She was going back to school in the afternoon. But obviously... Meng Huo would not come back.

Phoenix Company. Apart from a few security guards and front desk girls, the whole building was quiet.

Meng Huo met Su Yuhua, a female director of CCTV animation here. She is a capable woman with glasses and looks around thirty years old, but she may be over forty years old.

After saying hello, the two talked about the animation.

"I want to ask first." Meng Huo asked first: "Detective Conan's animation, is this what you mean by the CCTV animation team?"

Su Yuhua unexpectedly glanced at Meng Huo and smiled: "Although Mr. He Xi is young, his way of thinking is very similar to that of an adult. To be honest, the animation of "Detective Conan" is indeed the decision of the entire animation team."

"Teacher He Xi's "Pokemon" was treated unfairly, which was our mistake. We want to apologize to you through the production of a new animation this time."

Su Yuhua's words sound very comfortable.

But Meng Huo cannot fully accept this statement. CCTV wants to apologize to him. Why don’t he apologize directly or express it from other aspects, but instead want to adapt his animation?

It seems to be natural, but the popularity of "Pokemon" has caused many media to question CCTV animation. They want the copyright of "Detective Conan" perhaps to clear their own stains.

However, Su Yuhua's attitude was quite polite, so Meng Huo did not think deeply about this. No matter what CCTV's purpose is, it is not wrong to come to him to cooperate with him.

"How do you plan to buy "Detective Conan"?"

Meng Huo asked.

"Each episode is 1.5 million. Buy out at one time." Su Yuhua reported a number. The price of 2 million is very good for ordinary comics, but it is a bit less for "Detective Conan".

"Can you divide it?"

Meng Huo asked.

"Sharing share?" Su Yuhua immediately refused: "We don't accept the share. How about 2 million? This is the highest price. We still have to adapt and produce animations, but the budget is not enough."

Her expression was solemn, and the highlight was next. The price was not nailed to death for two million. Su Yuhua first said a lower price, and then Meng Huo would definitely increase the price.

This is a process of bargaining and compromise, which would have been very troublesome in the past. However, Su Yuhua did not expect that Meng Huo's answer was - "Okay, there is no problem with the price, but I have the conditions."

Hearing this, Su Yuhua shook her head in her heart. After all, she was a child, and he believed it if someone else said a number.

"What are the conditions?"

"Let me be the deputy director..." Meng Huo said slowly: "I am fully responsible for the soundtrack. As long as I agree to these two conditions, I will hand over "Detective Conan" to you."

He doesn't care how much profit "Detective Conan" can earn. 2 million, Meng Huo can accept this number, but he is worried that CCTV will make the animation worse.

The best way is of course to participate by yourself and watch it.

"Associate director?" But after hearing the conditions, Su Yuhua's face became cold: "Teacher He Xi, CCTV's deputy director will not give it to others casually. You should take back this sentence..."

“As for the soundtrack, we have a very good music team, and you don’t need to intervene.”

Su Yuhua looked at Meng Huo's slightly frowning eyebrows and continued to add: "I think you may have misunderstood. We want the animation copyright of "Detective Conan", including the subsequent value of the animation, music, live-action movies, etc...."

"We want to buy out all at once."

Meng Huo was stunned: "What does it mean... Do I have only the copyright of the comics left?"

"You have a game copyright."

Su Yuhua replied lightly, Meng Huo was almost angry. This is not animated. CCTV took all the copyrights and it was simply robbery!

"Sorry," he said, "I won't agree to your conditions."

"Don't agree?" Su Yuhua's face became colder: "I suggest that Teacher He Xi think carefully. It is an honor to be able to broadcast your animation on CCTV."

"We have the largest audience and the best channel. As long as "Detective Conan" is broadcast on CCTV, Mr. He Xi, you can become a well-known cartoonist in China."

"And although we do not belong to the same department as CCTV News, we usually have contacts. Why do you think Teacher Xi will do more advertisements?"

Her eyes looked at Meng Huo with a smile. The last news brought to Phoenix Company was impossible for this young man to know how he could have refused to be tempted.

"If Teacher He Xi doesn't want to, then we have to find a cartoonist from Zhongxia Company."

Su Yuhua uses both soft and hard, which makes

Meng Huo was very upset. She wanted to threaten him?

Indeed, he saw the power of CCTV news, but can news be easily posted? If it weren't for the sales miracle of "Five Centimeters in Seconds", how much impact would it have even if it was posted.

"The Cat and the Mouse" was broadcasted many times on CCTV News, but it still won't beat "Pokemon". Promotion is very important, but what is more important is strength. Moreover, Meng Huo doesn't like to show off his face. There are too many CCTV news, so he doesn't want it yet.

It took only half a year for Meng Huo to go from scratch to the present. His future is still long. Even if the speed is slower, in another year or two, the Chinese comics market will definitely be the blue ocean. Does he need CCTV support?

The company has gone through the most dangerous moment, and Meng Huo is now confident.

"If you want to find anyone you like..." he replied: "If I can't participate in the production and supervision of "Detective Conan", I won't sell it."

Meng Huo's words made Su Yuhua secretly angry. He reminded the boy like this that he was still so stubborn. Should he say he was stupid or stupid?

She sneered.

"Teacher He Xi, I don't think you understand the situation yet."

"You really think you are the number one cartoonist in China? If that's the case, then you're very wrong! If "Pokemon" hadn't caused controversy, our CCTV animation department wouldn't have chosen your comics at all."

When she said this, Meng Huo had already fully understood that, indeed, CCTV's starting point was for themselves.

But Su Yuhua's words have not stopped yet.

"A few months after Zhongxia Company was established, Teacher He Xi knew its strength very well, but you definitely didn't know one thing." Su Yuhua raised her eyebrows and said, "The elite cartoonists of Zhongxia Comics have not come out yet. The serial comics they launched are all works of ordinary cartoonists."

"Yenjing University's first batch of comics graduates are the highest quality, especially the top ten are elites. I have seen the works of the fourth cartoonist, and his painting skills are definitely no less than those of you, Mr. He Xi!"

Meng Huo was stunned.

He felt agitation in his heart, and Su Yuhua's words might be true. Meng Huo had this feeling for a long time. Zhongxia Company was coming in full force, but strangely there was no outstanding cartoonist.

This is obviously abnormal, and Zhongxia Comics did not spend resources to promote a cartoonist. For them, it should be very simple to make a cartoonist famous.

They didn't do this, Meng Huo kept wondering if it was because the outstanding cartoonist had not come out yet. The first thing after Zhongxia Company was to enrich the library and develop magazine readers.

Relying on the intensive bookstore channels, Zhongxia has completed this step. If it wants to further develop, it will almost launch a signature cartoonist.

"Don't underestimate those elites. Zhongxia Company has equipped each of them with a studio, which is specifically responsible for studying their comic content and marketing. Once the new serialization is launched, it will surely cause a sensation in the market."

"They may not be as good as you, but there is a team behind it. Teacher He Xi, you have no chance of winning!"

Su Yuhua warned.

"If those comics come out and we choose their comics to make animations, then you will be very dangerous. You are not as good as them in funds, channels, and promotion..."

"Teacher He Xi, think about it carefully. Only by giving us "Detective Conan" can we have the chance to survive when they come out!"

However, Meng Huo was no longer listening to Su Yuhua's words, and there were no powerful cartoonists in Zhongxia. This incident attracted his attention.

What kind of person will it be?

Meng Huo really wanted to see these people. He even wondered if there were any other areas in China that had no talented cartoonists coming out.

"It seems I still have to work hard..."

Meng Huo emerged with new fighting spirit. (To be continued...)
