Chapter 202: Anthony's Conditions

Meng Huo and Xu Jing met and then devoted themselves to work that they had not cared about for a long time.

There were many things, but he was surprised to find that there were very few places to intervene. Whether it was comics or animation, it was now able to run smoothly after two weeks after he left his control.

“It’s amazing…”

Meng Huo admired Alice's ability, but was also complicated. Did she work hard in vain before?

He is indeed not a person who is good at managing. Perhaps he cares too much about his works. When he is in the company, he always has strict requirements, but after letting go for two weeks, he looked back and saw that other people could handle it well.

"This is not my credit, Meng Huo, you are lost."

Alice was worried that Meng Huo was discouraged, so she quickly comforted him. The main reason for the smooth development of the company was that Meng Huo did a good job in the early stage. He had formulated all the subsequent things in the early stage, such as animation scripts and character settings. The painters were tempered by Meng Huo and would not go wrong, so nothing happened after Alice took over.

"Yes, Teacher He Xi, this is all your credit. Our current review standards are still what you have left behind!"

People from both editorial departments also expressed their gratitude to Meng Huo. "Weekly Girl" and "Weekly Boy" have released several very good comics in the past two weeks. These comics are very special, and they are all derivatives that they find hopeful points from Meng Huo's works.

For example, Teacher Mach's comics are based on the theme of monster thieves, which fills readers' desire for Kidd, the monster thief in "Detective Conan".

The biggest contributor to Phoenix Company is Meng Huo. As soon as he comes back, everyone respects him. People say hello almost everywhere they go. Meng Huo originally thought it was the influence of "Fate/staynight". In fact, it is not the case.

Now Phoenix Company's business relies on Meng Huo as the center and has entered a new stage. The future development prospects are bright, and Phoenix Company has gathered a sense of confidence, so employees naturally respect Meng Huo.

The popularity of "Fate/staynight" has made this respect even more revealing.

In the morning, after reading the comics and animations, Meng Huo did not intervene. He no longer needs to intervene. Since the company is moving towards a positive trend, it is better to let other people continue to work hard. When encountering obstacles, Meng Huo will intervene again.

He could put down his work and continue to be a simple cartoonist, but before that, he received a request from Alice.

"Meng Huo, "Fate/staynight" has been released. Can you prepare a new game to reassure the production department's employees?"

This request was not beyond Meng Huo's expectations, and he had expected this very early. He accompanied Alice to the game production department. After a warm welcome, Meng Huo asked the people here about their future plans.

Of course, the game designers had nothing to say, they had to stay. However, the painters were divided into two completely opposite factions.

"I'd better go back to draw comics. I like comics and want to re-serialize them in "Weekly Boys"."

"It's so tiring to draw comics. I think it's much fun to make games. This month I work together to make games. And then it feels great to see readers crazy about it!"

Some people want to leave, some people want to continue playing games. This is very consistent with Meng Huo's thoughts.

In order to rush to work, he brought in a large number of cartoonists for "Fate/staynight", but now there is no need for this. Meng Huo lets the cartoonists choose freely, more than half of them leave, and less than 30 people stay.

"You will be formal employees of the company's gaming department in the future."

Meng Huo was satisfied that the number of people making games became the least, but also the most appropriate number among all departments. These people would not put pressure on the company's finances, and although the cycle of launching a new game in the future will be longer, it is good to go long.

If Meng Huo was asked to launch a game every month, he would definitely faint. The setting of Galgame is quite troublesome, and even for "Fate/staynight", he spent the winter vacation preparation.

At noon, when I returned to the office, Meng Huo had a rest time.

"What's the name of the new game?"

Alice asked with a smile as she served him tea.

"I haven't decided yet, it may be a family theme... Forget it, I heard that "Fate/staynight" has not been passed yet. This game is a very important moment within one or two months after its release. I want to make good use of this period."

Meng Huo drank tea and said, "Alice, will it be successful if you say we will hold a reader event for "Fate/staynight"?"

"Activity? I don't know this..."

Alice shook her head. Although "Fate/staynight" praised it very well on the forum, there were still a few people who played it.

Moreover, whether the player is really popular or not has to wait until the player passes the level before knowing that only after she has stood the test of time can she answer whether she can hold an event.

"But Meng Huo, if it is changed to your meeting, it will definitely be a great success!"

She smiled and said, "Anyway, you have also exposed it. The company wants to hold an event for you, and the preparations are almost done. How about it, do you want to find time to hold a reader meeting... or the signing party is also good!"

Meng Huo frowned and pondered. One of the great gains he had in Jidong this time was to get along with readers. He found that being close to readers may not be a bad thing, and now he has no sense of resistance.

"Okay, you decide."

So he nodded, agreeing to this matter.

"This is what you said!" Aili's eyes lit up. Meng Huo was about to be a year old and Phoenix Company had not really held an event for him. This has always been a dissatisfaction among readers.

As a popular cartoonist, Meng Huo has been delaying signing for a long time and is also a focus of many media.

"Hehe, I will give you a big stage. Meng Huo, just look forward to it!"

Alice laughed. She felt that Jidong's performance was too wasteful. Meng Huo needed a bigger stage and must make a big splash.

Meng Huo didn't care. He drank tea and suddenly remembered another thing: "By the way, Alice, you haven't told me about Duke Anthony."

"He has returned to the UK, I don't know the reason..." Alice frowned slightly. This matter could not be hidden, so she had to confess: "Meng Huo, the old duke said he wanted to make a fight with you before leaving. He left the sequel to "Detective Sherlock" in Zhongxia Company. There was an adaptation of a cartoonist that made him very satisfied."

Anthony suddenly left, but he left a message, and he wanted to compete with Meng Huo on the comic content.

The old duke proposed the content of the competition, perhaps because he was unwilling to accept the defeat of "Detective Sherlock" under "Detective Conan". The first target of Anthony's comics is "Detective Conan"...

"He wants to defeat "Detective Conan" with "Detective Sherlock", but Zhongxia comics have much better channel advantages than us, and he doesn't want to win!"

Anthony came up with an interesting way, and he actually allowed Meng Huo to use two comics to fight his sequel to "Detective Sherlock".

Meng Huo was surprised by his confidence, but then he thought that he was a person who won the Nobel Prize, so it was not normal for him to have this confidence.

Moreover, Zhongxia's channel advantage is too great, and Meng Huo does not have much advantage over two comics.

He was curious: "Why should that old duke believe that I will play with him?"

"His conditions are very tempting." Alice smiled bitterly and explained: "He promised us that if your two comics surpass "Sherlock", Zhongxia Company will open up its channels..."

"As long as you win, you can release those two comics in Zhongxia Bookstore!"

Hearing this sentence, Meng Huo stood up from the chair: "Are you serious about this?"

What he has always missed is the channel. If he wins, he can publish comics in Zhongxia Bookstore. This fruit of victory is quite tempting.

Moreover, in "Detective Sherlock", Meng Huo did not think it would be difficult to surpass it. Can Anthony go against the will of heaven in China?

"Zhongxia has spoken, it is definitely true..." Alice nodded, but looked a little hesitant: "But if you lose, Duke Anthony's request is to let you live in the UK for half a year."

This request made Alice very worried, but Meng Huo did not put this request into his ears.

"No problem." He laughed: "You told them I agreed, Zhongxia can publish comics at any time."

Meng Huo thought about it in his mind that the time was just right, and the key turning point of "Detective Conan" had arrived. And even if this book could not exceed "Detective Sherlock", he had another one.
