Chapter 301: The end of the celebration
The closing ceremony of the celebration was held on Sunday night, but Liu Yun and Liu Yi had already taken the high-speed train back to Qingcheng with their signatures, and student parties including Chen Jie also returned to school.
The final performance of the voice actors was performed in the evening. The number of audiences was more than on the first day, and even the aisles were full of people. Just when I saw this scene, Meng Huo knew that the celebration had been successful and felt relieved.
"Thank you for your help these two days."
He expressed his gratitude to Zhou Qian and others. If it weren't for the help of these female fans in the past two days, such a huge number would have ruined everything.
"No need to thank you, we have a lot of fun," Zhou Qian answered on behalf of other fans. Then, she said hesitantly: "Teacher He Xi, I heard that Phoenix Company is moving to Su Hua. Is this the last celebration in Ninghai?"
"...Maybe..." Meng Huo nodded. He could not hide this matter, so he could only comfort him: "But we will not move all to Su Hua, we just moved our main office business. Ninghai's comics are the same as before. You don't have to worry too much. Well... I will come back if I have time."
It is unrealistic to move to Su Hua. Some employees of Phoenix Company have homes in Ninghai, and it is difficult to leave. Some cartoonists will not leave either. Therefore, this relocation is just a relocation of the main business. Ninghai's Phoenix Building will still exist as a branch, but the future market expansion will be centered on Su Hua.
Meng Huo thinks this is a good development opportunity. The readers of Phoenix Company in Ninghai have been saturated. If they continue to develop, they will develop a realistic comic business circle. Zhongxia Company is eyeing Ninghai, and it is not a good thing to oppose it. Su Hua's area can give Phoenix better development opportunities. Moreover, there are many discounts, Meng Huo thinks there is more potential there.
"That's it..." Zhou Qian nodded, and she suddenly blinked: "Talk He Xi, is Phoenix Company still short of people?"
Meng Huo looked at Zhou Qian: "Do you want to come to our company?"
"Yes... I'm also your hardcore fan." Zhou Qian said with a smile: "And I have a high reputation in your fan circle and have a wide connection. There are many shops for this celebration that I brought. I think you will definitely use it with me, Teacher He Xi!"
She proposed this matter not impulse. After observing the celebration, Zhou Qian had already vaguely seen Meng Huo's idea. Although this celebration was simple, smart people could see that it was a commercial experiment of comics, and Phoenix Company was going to move to Suhua City. At this time, the Phoenix Company's plan was obvious - it would definitely build a commercial circle centered on Suhua.
However, the business circle cannot be built by a single operator. Zhou Qian predicts that in addition to the main body of a Phoenix Company, there is also a large number of operators. Among these operators, readers who like He Xi comics will undoubtedly be an important part. These people who like comics will be happy to start a business there and open a store, just like this celebration.
So Zhou Qian is sure that people like her who have a wide connection in the readership will be valued by Meng Huo.
"Okay." As expected, Meng Huo agreed on the spot: "I'm going back to Jidong tonight. If you resign, come to Jidong to find me. We'll talk about it in detail later."
He agreed directly without asking what skills Zhou Qian has, but Meng Huo tended to believe Zhou Qian. After all, she is the manager of such a huge group, and she has done a good job in the past two days, so she will not be too bad - maybe she can become a good helper.
"No problem. Teacher He Xi!"
Zhou Qian immediately took out her cell phone excitedly: "Can you give me the number?...It's convenient to find you!"
After exchanging numbers, the woman left happily. Soon, a person walked down from the stage was Long Xue.
"The performance is over?" Meng Huo asked her.
"Well... I guess it's second place!" Long Xue smiled and looked back at the stage: "The child's singing is beautiful, and her votes will surpass me."
What was singing on the stage was Xia Chuan Shi. She gathered all the lights and vision, which looked very dazzling.
"Her performance is indeed excellent." Meng Huo retracted his gaze and felt a little strange: "But if the votes exceed you, it would be abnormal - Long Xue, are you trying to give in to her on purpose?"
Meng Huo didn't notice any abnormalities yesterday, but today he noticed one thing: Long Xue didn't sing very classic songs, and the interlude of "Gundam Seed" was not even sung. This made him a little confused. Seeing the effect of the car of the morning car last night. Long Xue should have sang the song Meng Huo gave her.
But she didn't sing, Long Xue's popularity surprised Meng Huo. It should be very simple to get the first place. But she did not fully show her charm at the celebration, but deliberately gave in to Xia Chuan's true nature.
"Because she is indeed better than me." Long Xue did not deny Meng Huo's statement, but instead smiled, "Teacher He Xi, I heard that after this celebration, you are going to make us famous, right?"
She said that's right, this celebration is just the prelude. Meng Huo showed Long Xue and Xia Chuan truth in front of readers, which attracted the attention of the media. Then, his singer plan will unfold. This plan is linked to the popularity of "Gundam Seed". The animation is only the beginning now, and the focus will be on the next few months.
There is also Masako Nakagawa in the extreme east. Meng Huo has already greeted her agency. They are happy to use the whirlwind of animation to praise her.
"Since I know I want to praise you, why should I give it to Xia Chuan Zhen?" Meng Huo asked a little strangely, "If you rank first in this celebration, wouldn't it be a bigger advantage for you?"
"But I'm second, the real lady will be even more eye-catching, right?"
Long Xue replied, actually this was Meng Huo’s initial plan, Meng Huo liked Xia Chuo more.
"Teacher He Xi wants to use us to change the voice actor industry, but this burden is too heavy. I don't want to stand in front." Long Xue sighed: "I don't have enough ability to lead everyone and stand at the top, but the real lady is talented. I believe that even if she is not as popular as me now, she will soon surpass her."
So Long Xue didn't want to compare with Xia Chuan, that was meaningless. But she felt that it was actually the most suitable person to stand in front of voice actors. The person who faced the pressure in the entertainment industry was actually Shen Jie. Xia Chuan was really capable, but Long Xue couldn't figure out whether his personality was suitable for the right leader, but she believed that the strong Shen Jie could do it.
Long Xue's words surprised Meng Huo a little, and he smiled: "You're very open-minded." Long Xue said this, and he was actually a little embarrassed in his heart - he was indeed optimistic about Xia Chuanzhen the most, and this girl's talent far exceeded Long Xue.
"This is not to be open-minded. I am satisfied that I can be attracted by the teacher. I think I am very lucky..." Long Xue smiled, with a flash of light in her eyes, and said, "Teacher He Xi, I have always wanted to say something to you..."
"What?"
"Thank you..." She smiled and said, "On behalf of the company's voice actors, I would like to express my gratitude to you. Teacher He Xi, you gave us the opportunity and a brand new path. Please accept our gratitude."
After Long Xue finished speaking, she suddenly stepped forward and hugged Meng Huo. Meng Huo was stunned and then smiled bitterly.
"You guys are really..."
But he didn't refuse and was able to say thank you, which was something to be happy about.
Then, the celebration ended.
The first voice actor who voted for is indeed Xia Chuan Zhen, the second one is Long Xue, and the third one is a male voice actor... There are fewer male voice actors in Phoenix Company, but Meng Huo found that this person is very popular, so he decided to ask Xu Jing to package him and promote it more, which may be useful in the future.
The time for awarding the prizes is up. The top three voice actors have different financial rewards. Meng Huo guarantees that the three of them can be directly selected for the voice actor list without selection. After these awards, Meng Huo also promised to play the piano accompaniment to the champion Xia Chuan. Now, the guild hall is in full swing.
"Teacher He Xi wants to play the piano!?"
"I knew there would be a surprise in the end, hahaha!"
"I have no regrets... The real lady and Mr. He Xi jointly performed to end this celebration, and it was simply amazing!"
The audience was very excited, but on the stage, Xia Chuanzhen said strange things.
"I don't want accompaniment." She suddenly said, and the audience suddenly became cold. Just when people were not sure about it, the girl added: "I have already sang a song, and everyone has listened to it several times. I want to watch Teacher He Xi's performance... I want to listen to that song in the Sky City, can Teacher He Xi play it to me?"
She looked up and asked Meng Huo. After a moment of silence in the guild hall, a bang erupted.
"Good job, real lady!!"
"Teacher He Xi, we also want to listen to the City of Sky!"
"Yes, we want to see Teacher He Xi perform alone!"
Meng Huo was stunned. He looked down at Xia Chuanzhen, and found the expectation in her eyes. He couldn't help but sigh: "This is the first time I have seen a little star who handed the stage to someone else... Well, since that's the case, I will end this celebration..."
He nodded and agreed, the piano was brought to the stage, and Meng Huo had not touched the instrument for a long time, but this would not hinder his performance.
After two days of hustle and bustle, a quiet ending song rang out in the guild hall.
"So quiet...so elegant..."
On one side of the stage, Xia Chuan looked at Meng Huo who was playing the piano on the stage and whispered.
"Are you talking about his songs or his people?"
A voice asked, Xia Chuan really turned around and saw a tall blonde sister standing beside her. She also looked up at the stage, her eyes so complicated that it was incomprehensible.
"The child's piano skills have improved again. He is really a monster-like growth rate. No wonder he refused to perform last night..."
