Chapter 378: Animation premiere decision

The matter of "Pokemon" has temporarily come to a certain point. Even though the media is still talking about it, Phoenix has already started to prepare for the next thing...

It has already entered May, and the animation of "Detective Conan" has become the top priority of Phoenix. Less than two days after Meng Huo held the "Pokemon" press conference, TV stations from all over China have gathered on Comic Island and fiercely seized the premiere rights of "Detective Conan".

After "Pokemon" and "Gundam Ed" were hit one after another, He Xi's animation has become a hot spot in the hearts of local TV stations. The popular original work of "Detective Conan" and a large number of comic readers have guaranteed the ratings of this animation. In just two days of competing for this animation, the price of the premiere has soared from more than 100,000 to millions.

All the TV stations that entered the final candidates are rich and powerful, CCTV, Ninghai, Vladivostok, Jidong, Su Hua, Xiangjiang... These TV stations are all from first-tier cities in China, and Phoenix will choose three TV stations to broadcast at the same time. Although there are many opportunities, everyone believes that Phoenix will choose a Ninghai TV station, and the final choice will be one of two.

"Minister of the State, you have made a lot of money to establish a good relationship with Phoenix."

Before the final decision, a TV representative said to the Guoletong of Ninghai animation program team with jealousy: "I heard that the release of "Pokemon" during this period has caused the ratings of "Pokemon" to increase by 4%. Is this true?"

"Yes, it's true." Guo Letong smiled: "The current ratings of "Pokemon" are close to 60%.

Sixty percent viewership ratings are hard to see in the TV drama industry for a few years. In the animation industry, it is undoubtedly the number one in China! Ninghai TV is now the leader in the animation industry. They have obtained the premiere rights of all He Xi's animation in the past few years. The animation ratings are getting higher and higher every year. Now CCTV's animation audience is less than two-thirds of Ninghai's.

Ninghai TV is well-behaved in other aspects, but their animation column is far ahead of other TV stations, which makes Guoletong very proud. He is bound to win "Detective Conan" this time!

However, when Phoenix Company held a final briefing, Alice, who presided over the meeting, announced a decision that shocked everyone - "After many discussions, our company finally decided to hand over the premiere of "Detective Conan" to the following three TV stations, namely: Xixia TV, Su Hua TV, and Tokyo TV..."

This decision has fooled many people because the bids of these three TV stations are not the highest. The highest bids are Ninghai, CCTV, and Xiangjiang TV.

Representatives of the three TV stations were angry, but when they asked why, Alice calmly said: "This is the company's strategic need."

This sentence made representatives of CCTV and Xiangjiang TV leave in anger, and Guoletong immediately found Alice after the meeting and asked her: "I want to know if this decision was made by your company? Or what Teacher He Xi thought?"

"This is the result of discussions by the senior management of the company." Alice replied: "Meng Huo has no objection."

Guoletong turned pale: "Can I know more detailed reasons?"

Alice nodded. Ninghai TV has a good relationship with them, and this is not something worth keeping confidential. She began to explain that when Phoenix chose a TV station, the first thing that came to mind was Tokyo. The production location of "Detective Conan" was there, which was natural. Tokyo TV must have an animation premiere, which is also crucial for Phoenix to maintain a long-term influence in the Far East.

Another TV station chose Xixia, which is the core city in western China. The west is the area with the least influence of Phoenix Company and the competition for animation is not strong. "Detective Conan" can occupy part of the market as a pioneer and lay a cornerstone for future development in advance.

The last TV station has to choose from the most prosperous location in China, such as CCTV, Ninghai and Su Hua, but Phoenix Company finally chose Su Hua.

"Our company's business focuses on Suhua, we can only choose it."

Alice added that Phoenix Company urgently needs to increase its influence in Suhua. Now the people of Suhua City have a far behind Ninghai's understanding of them. Talking about the name "He Xi" can cause repercussions among young people, but the broader people will be very strange. Most people will feel "Oh, I seem to have heard of this person."

Su Hua's people do not have a very deep understanding of He Xi and Phoenix Company. If they can take this opportunity to gain popularity in one fell swoop, it will be a very good thing for the development of Manga Island.

"For these reasons, unfortunately, Minister of State, the premiere of "Detective Conan" cannot be handed over to you."

Alice explained in detail. There was no place for Guoletong to refute. He stood there for a minute and finally sighed and left.

Losing the premiere of "Detective Conan" is undoubtedly a huge loss to Ninghai TV. However, Alice looked at the back of Guoletong and felt that they were already very lucky. Ninghai TV has been lucky for so many years and is still leaving now. Phoenix and Zhongxia Company animations will be left to them for broadcast, and CCTV has not received such great benefits.

However, as long as Zhongxia and Phoenix continue to divide the two places, the distance between Ninghai TV and Phoenix will become further and further.

"I hope I won't be an opponent in the future..."

Alice shook her head gently and turned back to give a report to Meng Huo. She told Meng Huo about Guolei. Meng Huo smiled bitterly and said, "They are too greedy. "Pokemon" is a long animation. If "Detective Conan" is handed over to them, how can other TV stations catch up?"

"Detective Conan" and "Pokemon" are both super long animations, each of which can be serialized for more than ten years. For more than twenty years, Meng Huo was unwilling to put eggs in a basket, not to mention that this basket is still at Zhongxia's hand.

"This matter was decided like this. I will go to Jidong tomorrow..." After listening to the report, Meng Huo said to Alice: "Help me watch the animation department, don't let those painters be lazy, and there is no news to be leaked."

Manga Island has successfully accepted a new animation department. Meng Huo has managed it for a while and is now asking the painters to secretly draw the new animation. He is a little worried that the news will be leaked, so he has to find someone to watch it.

"No problem." Alice nodded. The voice actor firm was busy, but she could still take care of the animation department: "What are you doing in Jidong again?"

Meng Huo has been to the Far East several times a month. Every time he went there, he was for the production of "Detective Conan", and this time was no exception.

"The animation has encountered some problems, so I want to go over and keep a close eye on it." Meng Huo replied with a smile: "And next week, "Gundam Ed" will be completed, and I may have to appear in some activities."

After a year, the animation "Gundam Ed" came to an end. It is Meng Huo's first animation that was completed and has extraordinary significance to Phoenix Company. How to carry out subsequent commercial development and expansion after the animation is completed? Whether the influence of "Gundam Ed" can be further improved is all things that need to be explored.

So early the next morning, Meng Huo embarked on a journey back to the east.

He did not go directly from Su Hua to Tokyo, but returned home halfway. Meng Huo's uncle had been in Jiayuan community for half a month. His cousin and his wife would appear in the study room during work to conduct remote videos with Meng Huo. They even affected the normal work of several comic assistants.

Meng Huo did not talk nonsense when he went home this time, and he rejected Li Cun's proposal to change his surname.

This uncle was just right. After getting the exact answer, he asked for goodbye. His son and daughter-in-law were a little reluctant to leave. Meng Huo felt it was difficult to deal with, but Li Qin stood up and she took out tens of thousands and stuffed it over.

"You can open a small shop in the county or find some small business to do. Stay here, you don't have any specialties, so Xiaohuo really can't help you."

Li Qin sometimes was very straightforward. Seeing that her son was unwilling, she cut off the two of them on the spot.
