Chapter 336: Long and Short Comics
"At the age of eighteen, Mr. He Xi is also very talented in corporate management..."
At Longteng Building, Li Ming put down the newspaper in his hand and said with a smile: "Ye Xiong announced to the media two years ago that the arrival of He Xi's era. Now that he thinks about it, he is indeed very foresighted. In recent years, the light of the comics industry has been focused on Teacher He Xi. Xu Jing gave him the future of Phoenix Company, which seemed to be natural."
Over the past few years, He Xi's development has been really impressive. Li Ming's newspaper uses "Why did Phoenix Company choose He Xi" as the title, elaborating on He Xi's past resume in detail.
He debuted as an original cartoonist and changed the historical status of original comics in the first year. Today, the original comics industry in China has become larger than the adapted comics industry. He Xi then defeated Zhongxia and forced Zhongxia company to open channels for "Weekly Boy" and "Weekly Girl". Then there was a long trip, and he still maintained the status of China's number one comics during his departure.
Immediately afterwards, He Xi suddenly appeared in the Far East District, acquiring Sakura Animation and defeating Mantian... He opened up the comic market in the Far East District for Phoenix Company with lightning speed, blinding the eyes of countless people. But at the same time, he also received recognition and praise. He gained leadership in the Suhua area, and no one in Phoenix Company opposed it, which shows his reputation.
"With this resume alone, Teacher He Xi can look down on China." Li Ming tapped the table with his finger and said, "Do you think the program team of CCTV Spring Festival Gala agrees to my nomination?"
"Yes." The publishing director of Longteng Company sat on the sofa in Li Ming's office and said while making tea: "Teacher He Xi's resume is quite terrifying. CCTV just wants a special guest, so he can certainly pass... But Li Ming, are you sure that Teacher He Xi will be willing to go to the Spring Festival Gala?"
The Spring Festival Gala is the Spring Festival Gala, which is a variety show gala held by China Central Television on New Year's Eve to celebrate the New Year every year. It is the variety show with the highest ratings, the longest broadcast time, and the most actors in the world. It has a huge influence than any program.
There is a saying in the entertainment industry that "The Spring Festival Gala is the top stage for artists." As long as you can appear on the Spring Festival Gala, even if you are ordinary before, you will become famous all over the country.
Li Ming is not a person in the entertainment industry, but as the overlord of the Chinese novel industry, Longteng Company has a special guest seat every year. Special guests are elite leaders in every industry and industry. They can sit in front of the Spring Festival Gala stage to watch the performance. They also have the opportunity to accept conversations with the Spring Festival Gala hosts, tell some of the latest information about their industry, etc.
This year, the representative of Longteng Company is Li Ming. As a special guest, he has the right to recommend other guests to the Spring Festival Gala program team. Li Ming feels that power is not used in vain, so he recommended Meng Huo. As long as the Spring Festival Gala program team passes the review, CCTV will send Meng Huo an invitation to participate in the Spring Festival Gala.
Both Li Ming and the Minister of Publication felt that Meng Huo was likely to pass the review.
As soon as the personnel transfer announcement of Phoenix Company was released in the past few days, the matter of He Xi becoming the new leader of Phoenix Company has become a foregone conclusion. Countless people are paying attention to him. Coupled with the title of China's No. 1 cartoonist, He Xi is fully qualified to appear on the stage of the Spring Festival Gala as a representative of the animation industry.
But unfortunately, the Spring Festival Gala program team did not seem to think so. They called to reject Li Ming's nomination. There was only one reason: "This year's Spring Festival Gala invited a representative from the animation industry, and no longer needed a second place."
"CCTV invited someone else!?"
Li Ming was very surprised when he received the rejection because he had not invited anyone from the animation industry so far, and he thought he would be the first to make suggestions.
"Nothing strange." The publishing minister was also surprised, but he soon knew the reason: "CCTV used to look down on this industry, but animation companies have developed very quickly in the past two years. CCTV sent invitations to others just at the right time. Even if there is not this year, there will definitely be animation guests in the next two years..."
"But then again, who is that guest?"
He asked curiously.
"Needless to say, it must be the representative of the large companies in Zhongxia..."
Li Ming replied, but he was also very curious, so he immediately asked someone to check it out, and it turned out to be a strange name.
"Jiang Tianshi... do you know this person?"
He asked the Minister of Publication.
"Jiang Tianshi?" The publishing minister was stunned and then stood up: "Of course I know him, he is the second young master of the Jiang family!"
"Jiang Family?" Li Ming frowned. Jiang is not a big surname in China, but he has a family named Jiang in the shareholders' meetings of Longteng and Zhongxia.
Li Ming is just an editor-in-chief, and he is not particularly familiar with the situation of the company's shareholders. But the Jiang family knows one thing: this is a big family with a long history and one of the Chinese capital giants.
"Why do people from the Jiang family become special guests?"
He was very surprised, what did the Jiang family have to do with animation?
"It's very simple." The publishing minister frowned slightly and continued: "He is the first batch of comics graduates at Yenching University, and he is also the chief..."
"What?" Li Ming widened his eyes: "Chief graduate!?"
The chief means ranking first. Now, Li Xin, the most popular cartoonist in Zhongxia Company, has not ranked in the top three in graduation results.
"Jiang Tianshi... Tianshi... Could it be..."
Li Ming was amazed when he recited this name. He remembered that a few years ago, when He Xi had not debuted, the central government discovered a comic genius code-named "Angel".
"Jiang Tianshi? Angel..."
Li Ming frowned. These two people were not the same person, right? This is not right. If they were the same person, why didn’t he debut yet?
"Jiang Tianshi is not a cartoonist..." As if seeing Li Ming's thoughts, the publishing minister continued: "It is said that when he graduated, he saw He Xi's work and said, 'No one can defeat He Xi in the comics field', and then he left with the second and third twins... and I haven't known what I'm doing since then."
"Now he is back, don't you find it interesting?" The publishing minister smiled and said, "If he came out of the CCTV Spring Festival Gala, maybe he could really fight against Teacher He Xi."
"The premise is fair confrontation..." Li Ming's face was slightly cold: "He is from the Jiang family, the kind of conspiracy of a rich child..."
"No, don't think about it." The Minister of Publication interrupted: "As far as I know, the two heirs of the Jiang family are very good. The second young master of the Jiang family has never had any rumors of bullying others with power. Their big families attach great importance to the teaching of their children, and their character is generally not bad... You don't have to worry about what Jiang Tianshi would do."
Li Mingweiling: "How do you know so clearly?"
"..." The publishing minister touched his nose awkwardly: "Actually, my uncle is working for the Jiang family, and their power has penetrated into many places. It is definitely beyond your imagination."
However, he was also a little surprised. Why did the second young master of the Jiang family come out on his own initiative? Didn’t he want to play with He Xi? Once he came out, the two comic geniuses would definitely have friction.
"Teacher He Xi, no matter how rich he is, he is just an ordinary person. How could he let the Jiang family notice it?"
The Minister of Publication said in his heart that Meng Huo, who was having dinner with Xu Jing in the distance, sneezes.
"What? You have a cold?"
Xu Jing asked with some concern.
"No. Someone may be chanting me behind my back..." Meng Huo joked, and then asked in a narrow voice: "Is it okay if you stay in Ninghai?"
After a few days of busyness, he finally had the opportunity to have a good chat with Xu Jing.
"No problem, Ninghai needs me. I will help you with any requests in Suhua." Xu Jing replied: "I am old and don't have that kind of fighting spirit... I'm not used to going to Suhua. I have been busy for most of my life, but I have never played any work. I want to spend more time with my wife. I didn't accompany her much when I was young, so I made her endure too much loneliness. This is a great regret in my life."
“…”
Meng Huo smiled bitterly. He rarely heard about the Xu family. But from the occasional words Xu Jing and Alice revealed, he could see the situation of the family clearly.
More than 20 years ago, Xu Jing accepted the homeless mother and daughter and worked hard for them. A few days ago, Alice's words were filled with guilt towards Xu Jing. She said that their mother and daughter owe Xu Jing a lot, so she could not ignore Xu Jing's idea of wanting a grandson. Now Xu Jing feels that she has worked too hard and owes his wife...
The family is so gentle.
"What? Don't you have confidence?" Xu Jing looked at Meng Huo who was thinking about it, and thought he had no confidence in taking charge of Su Hua's work. So he comforted him: "Don't worry, you do a very good job in Jidong. As long as you do it at your own pace, the market development of Su Hua City will not be difficult for you."
"It's not difficult..." Meng Huo came back to his senses and shrugged: "But after doing it in the Far East District, I realized that controlling a company is really complicated."
He had this feeling before, but after being the president of Sakura Animation Company for nearly a year, Meng Huo realized how hard it is to lead a company.
"That's just because you don't have a good assistant." However, Xu Jing disagreed: "It's already pretty good for you to do that in a strange area... This time, unlike Sakura Company, the heads of our various departments will accompany you, and Alice also went to help you. You have already made up, right?"
Looking at Meng Huo, Xu Jing nodded. "Alice's ability is not bad. I sent several old employees to assist her. She should be able to take my place. Leave the chores and daily life to her. You should concentrate on moving forward. If you have any difficulties, please inform me and I will go over and help."
In Xu Jing's heart, Phoenix Company is his child, but now it has two elders - he and Alice are one of them. As mothers, they manage the health and daily life of the child "Phoenix", while Meng Huo, as a father, leads the child to run and grow up healthily...
This model is very good, at least there will be no problems in Meng Huo and Alice's generation. Perhaps Phoenix Company will enter the pain of handover in decades, but that kind of thing is too far away. Meng Huo is only eighteen years old this year, and he has to wait for him to hand over power to the next generation. Xu Jing may not be able to wait for the rest of his life.
So he is now full of hope and looks forward to Meng Huo bringing Phoenix to the pinnacle of comic companies around the world.
"By the way, I heard Alice say that you are going to release a new comic book, right?" Xu Jin thought of this again and asked, "Have you decided on the subject now?"
"No, there is no...I want to draw short comics, but I haven't found any ideas yet." Meng Huo shook his head and smiled bitterly: "There are many long ideas, but I don't want to increase the pressure of updating."
So far, most of the comics released by Meng Huo have not been completed. He has published one long story after another. Although he has helped his assistant, he has to draw several comics at the same time every week, and the day of completion is still far away... He feels that he can no longer add burdens like this, so short comics are better.
If he releases another long comic, such as "Dragon Ball", it will take more than ten years to serialize it, which will be a life-threatening person.
