Chapter 414: "Flame Boy"
After the grandparents and grandchildren met, Meng Huo's work returned to peace. The chapter was updated the fastest
He was delayed for a while by Chen Jie and the college entrance examination. There were many mistakes in the preliminary preparations for "Magic Girl Xiaoyuan", but finally got on track.
In addition, Phoenix's game production department has also started a new work, but this matter is not announced secretly. Meng Huo prepared many surprises in the second half of the year, including a brand new comic, but too much information leak will make readers feel numb. Now it is more than enough to announce to the public a "Magic Girl Xiaoyuan". After all, the trend of "Pokemon" has not ended yet.
With the arrival of summer vacation, "Pokemon" ushered in another wave. Datang Company's new handheld machine sales exceeded 3 million in one fell swoop, and Qi Ying's shares have been transferred to Ye Man.
The harm Chen Jie was fully repaid on the man. Qi Ying faced a 35-year sentence and never had the possibility of another emergence in her life. Meng Huo let go of his anger, but there was another Jin Yan who was at ease with the law. The Meng family was harsh in the way. Jin Yan's company was declared bankrupt the day after he broke the incident, but Jin Yan himself was protected by Jiang Tianshi.
Meng Huo did not ask the old lady of the Meng family to continue to help. This was his business. He wanted to send Jin Yan to the cell with his own hands.
On the other hand, Chen Jie's hospitalization brought unexpected losses to Phoenix Company. She was both dubbing important roles in "Pokemon" and "Detective Conan". Her long-term hospitalization forced Phoenix Company to temporarily choose other voice actors to replace her, which caused a great response in society.
The ratings of the two animations have dropped continuously in a few weeks, especially "Pokemon" has dropped by five percentage points. Chen Jie is responsible for the dubbing of the protagonist Xiaozhi, and Xiaozhi temporarily changed the voice actor. This made some loyal viewers very dissatisfied. Some people even launched demonstration signatures online. Moreover, under the guidance of some people who are interested, various conspiracy theories emerge one after another.
‘Xiaozhi’s voice actor was banned for offending Mr. He Xi!’, ‘Phoenix Company exploited the salary of voice actors, and a large number of voice actors resigned in anger!’… Such reports can be seen everywhere.
Although these reports did not cause much economic losses, the impact was quite bad, and Alice was very worried about it.
"When will Chen Jie come back?"
On August 6, she mentioned the animation when she reported the situation to Meng Huo: "Her voice is so distinctive that imitators nowadays cannot imitate it."
Meng Huo was also very troubled. Chen Jie's condition had not yet recovered. And she had been transferred to Qingcheng.
The main reason for being transferred to Qingcheng was actually to work. Chen Jie wanted to go back to Qingcheng early to give her relatives an answer, but her condition could not be discharged casually. After obtaining the hospital's permission, she is temporarily transferred to Qingcheng. She will stay in the hospital in Qingcheng for a few days before transferring back to Yanjing.
However, Meng Huo calculated that he was almost back.
"Alice, can't you send someone to the hospital to pick Chen Jie up?"
He asked.
"No!" Alice cuts the gold and cuts the iron: "Dubbing is a professional job, and there is a lot of equipment required. We cannot move the equipment to Yanjing."
"That's because you have too high requirements..." Meng Huo smiled bitterly: "You don't have to worry about so much during this period. Didn't we send an announcement saying that Chen Jie is unwell? You should try to record the audio for Chen Jie and take it back for post-production. Even if the quality is poor, the audience can accept it, right? No matter what, it is better than the current situation."
Alice thought, what Meng Huo said was quite reasonable, and the sound quality of the dubbing was slightly different, and it was difficult for ordinary viewers to notice it.
"good."
She agreed, the dubbing problem was quickly resolved, and the ratings of the animation slowly recovered.
During this period, Meng Huo also expanded the security team of Phoenix Company, and the number of security guards became more than some security companies, but this was necessary. The security guards were mainly responsible for being bodyguards for voice actors to perform everywhere, specifically preventing things like Xia Chuan from happening. With them, there was no need to worry about shortage of staff in any event in the future.
On August 15th, early that morning, Meng Huo got up as usual to prepare for work, but Ye Xiong hurriedly knocked on the door of his apartment.
"Teacher He Xi, Longteng, Zhongxia Company, and Jiang Tianshi have joined forces!"
The comic editor-in-chief reported a big event.
Jiang Tianshi's actions began. On this day, Longteng and Zhongxia Company held a grand press conference in Ninghai, announcing that Longteng's super popular novel "Flame Boy" will be adapted into comics and animations by Zhongxia Company and Jiang Tianshi's animation studio. Its animation production work was secretly carried out in July and the launch time is scheduled to be in mid-September.
The comic adaptation of this novel was completed by Jiang Tianshi and Li Xin. The comics have no highlights, but its animation production funding is as high as 4 million per episode, and the production lineup is unprecedentedly luxurious.
An outstanding team of painters, well-known screenwriters, top special effects companies... and the most critical voice actors. The voice actors of this animation are all selected from first- and second-tier idol stars in China. These stars are not only responsible for dubbing roles, but also sing animation songs. The composers of "Flame Boy" are all responsible for top composers.
Zhongxia Company claims that "Flame Boy" is the first ultra-high-definition animation in China that can watch every episode as a movie. Its production process can be said to be an outstanding craftsmanship, and every detail will be achieved to the extreme. Jiang Tianshi even said that "Flame Boy" can replace "Pokemon" into China's number one national animation within another year.
The press conference ended, and the entire anime industry talked about this. Media reporters couldn't stop smiling. He Xi's "Magic Girl Xiaoyuan" was expected to be released not far from "Flame Boy". Zhongxia Company and Jiang Tianshi suddenly joined forces to fight, and it was obvious that they were staring at He Xi's butt.
"Zhongxia Company has been in decline for so many years, and finally has a strong momentum again!"
"The animation production lineup is unprecedentedly luxurious, tsk... In order to defeat Teacher He Xi, Zhongxia is really not afraid of losing all his money!"
"Compared with the adapted comics of Phoenix Company and the adapted animations of Teacher He Xi, after so many years, now we have returned to the farther point - the adapted animations and original animations are fighting again, but this time, Teacher He Xi has little chance of winning..."
After many years, the media has reappeared the view that he was unfavorable to He Xi.
The situation this time is different from that time. The most popular adaptation of "Sherlock" back then is just the behavior of a single cartoonist. Who can surpass the cartoonist in technology in single person against single person? However, different animations, animation tests the technology of a group. In this regard, "Flame Boy" has too great advantages.
Among the production group of "Flame Boy", there are three artists who are more talented than Li Xin at that time... and He Xi's animation group has never been particularly famous. The outside world believes that the main contributor to the success of the animations such as "Pokemon" and "Detective Conan".
He Xi is a talented cartoonist, and he has a better understanding of animation than many people. Before joining Phoenix Company, several groups including Huayue Animation were not particularly outstanding. However, after joining, these animation makers will be trained by He Xi to become groups suitable for corresponding animations in a short period of time.
Suitable for animation, plus He Xi’s scripts and music, and outstanding voice actors, these are the factors that make the success of Phoenix animation.
But the core of these factors is "He Xi". A person's power is limited. In the face of "Flame Boy"'s overwhelming group advantage, Phoenix Company has little chance of winning.
Of course...there are more than that. "Flame Boy" is a popular novel with a total of ten copies sold, with a maximum sales volume of over 80 million copies. The sales of "Detective Conan" are far less than that of it!
Chapter completed!
