Chapter 598: The Second Animation

"There is no hurry to get a new comic. You can help me draw "Dragon and Tiger" first!"

Meng Huo smiled and said that he hadn't considered the new comic yet! In fact, it may not be released in the past two months. "The Girl of Light" has started construction, and there is also a new animation waiting to start construction in Tokyo. After the two animations are stable, Manga Island has to start preparing for the carnival again - things are so busy that Meng Huo dare not consider the new comic for the time being.

Asking the two female assistants to draw "Dragon and Tiger" first can also share his work pressure.

"Dragon and Tiger?"

The female cartoonists were filled with joy at first. "Dragon and Tiger" is a very good comic. He Xi wrote it himself, and it was even more popular than the same period of "The Male Public Relations Department of Yinglan College" and there were many male and female readers. Being able to take over this comic is a recognition of strength, but it is also very difficult.

"Teacher He Xi, can we draw it well?"

“This comic is too difficult…”

After the love of the two female cartoonists showed concerns. It is natural that the exquisite picture of "Dragon and Tiger" is a very difficult part. The most difficult part is that since the beginning of the serialization, the comic has always been the perspective of the male and female protagonists. Many people have been worried that He Xi would not be able to handle this issue well, but time proved that he had been doing it very well.

But this balance is difficult to imitate. Many cartoonists have secretly learned the painting method of "Dragon and Tiger", but it is okay to draw one or two episodes, three or four episodes. It is not unusual to describe the story from a neutral perspective for a long time. Some comic academies in China have even established special skills research associations to study this new style of painting, but it is impossible to wait for a skilled technique to be released for a year or two.

This is what the two female cartoonists are worried about. They cannot handle the camera division of the two protagonists well. If they are used to girl comics, they will involuntarily lean towards the heroine's perspective. If male readers are unhappy, "Dragon and Tiger" will be completely ruined.

"It's okay, you can do it." Meng Huo said with a smile: "I will teach you slowly, and with me checking, there will be no problem with the comics."

He used to paint "Dragon and Tiger" alone, but this time he had two assistants, which reduced the pressure. Even if the assistants didn't understand it at the beginning, they would definitely get enlightened after one or two months of training. Moreover, the two assistants, one person, are responsible for a perspective, and there are benefits to working together.

"Did Teacher He Xi check it? Then there's no problem..."

The cartoonists breathed a sigh of relief, and Meng Huo's words implied that his check on "Dragon and Tiger" would be higher than "Sakura University Male Public Relations Department", so there is no problem.

"Then aren't we going to move to Manga Island?" An assistant suddenly became nervous. If it was a closer cooperation, it would be much more difficult to continue this remote mode now. They might have to move to Manga Island. But their home is in Ninghai and they don't want to leave here.

"It doesn't matter if you go for one or two months?" Meng Huo saw through their worries and smiled and said, "You go to Manhua Island to learn with me for a while. If you are proficient in painting, you will be back."

He did not mean to force them to stay in Su Hua forever. And there was no need for this. These two female assistants were very strong and had a good sense of responsibility. Meng Huo was even more at ease with them than Mr. Tomato. They were also conscientious assistants, but relatively speaking, Meng Huo felt that these two female assistants needed less attention to maintaining the quality of the comics.

On the second day after the signing ceremony, Meng Huo and Li Qin said goodbye, then met with two assistants at the train station and took them to Manga Island.

The first thing Meng Huo did when he came back was to check the situation in the animation department. After several days of practice, the painters in the animation department seemed to have become accustomed to the style of "The Girl of Light". The characters drawn generally met Meng Huo's passing standards. Of course, more importantly, the image of the animation characters became more and more agreed.

Although there are still some differences, the same character drawn by each painter is 80% similar. After a few days of running in, the animation will be officially started when the similarity is improved. Of course, no matter how similar it is, it is impossible to be exactly the same. The adjustment after the formal start is the work of Meng Huo and Qin Ya.

Qin Ya's requirements are the strictest. Other painters only need to be as similar as possible and not distorted as possible, but Meng Huo's requirements for Qin Ya are exactly the same as him. For this reason, he left a stack of character settings for Qin Ya before leaving Su Hua. Each character, Qin Ya, needs to be drawn thousands of times, and also includes images from different perspectives.

She wanted to imprint the image of each character deeply in her mind, and she could not make any mistakes. She did a good job of this. When Meng Huo came back, Qin Ya could already draw the animated characters easily and naturally.

"I like this animation." She said. This animation does not require extremely high quality like "Five Centimeters in Seconds", nor does it have many abstract witch characters like "Magic Girl Xiaoyuan" - in short, the style of "Qingyin Girl" is very suitable for her to play.

The only thing that made Qin Ya feel unhappy is that this animation is a campus animation, but after listening to the plot, this unhappiness has long disappeared. Although it is a campus animation, the animation does not highlight the boring study and life on campus, but highlights the club activities and dreams - this is very good in Qin Ya's eyes!

However, the first animation was progressing very smoothly, but the second animation was not out for a long time. As "Detective Conan" approached, the rest of the Phoenix Company became a little anxious.

"Detective Conan is the animation pillar of our company, not comparable to ordinary animations. Its completion will reduce our company's influence in the animation industry by about half." One day at noon, Alice found Meng Huo in the restaurant and talked about this matter to him.

As one of the three long and popular animations in China, the completion of "Detective Conan" will also cause a short-term huge loss of popularity. It will take half a year to wait for it to open again. In this six months, Phoenix's influence will undoubtedly be the lowest point in two years, and it is also the best time for other animation companies to catch up with Phoenix.

The management of Phoenix Company is worried that others will take the opportunity, so it is particularly important for Meng Huo to fill this gap. But the first animation he announced was "Qingyin Girl", a twelve-episode campus animation. Although no one dares to say that this animation is not good, judging from the length, story and even type, "Qingyin Girl" is obviously a niche work.

Such niche works cannot fill the hole in "Detective Conan". Phoenix needs a large production that can gather extremely popular animations to appear, so as to maintain its dominant position. Don't forget that "Pokemon" will be completed in half a year, and Phoenix dare not waste a trace of popularity.

And the problem is more than that…

"We cooperate with Su Hua and Tokyo two TV stations... How can we support their animation ratings if there are no popular animation works?" The waiter in the restaurant brought Alice's set order to the table, but she did not rush to eat, but looked at Meng Huo and said, "It is said that Zhongxia Company will launch seven new animations in the past two months?"

"kindness."

Meng Huo nodded. He knew what Alice meant. Now Phoenix and Zhongxia have separated, and it is time to support the strength of cooperative TV stations. If Phoenix Company did not raise the animation ratings of Su Hua and Tokyo TV earlier and let Zhongxia Company gain the upper hand, it would be even more dangerous in the future.

In animation cooperation, Zhongxia Company has a great advantage in the number of animations. Although Phoenix Company has joined forces with some animation production companies and has also connected them with the two TV stations, it is okay to charge the animations of these companies and cannot put too high expectations.

To increase the ratings of Su Hua and Tokyo TV, it must be a work of Phoenix. They have signed a cooperation for a month. The first animation of Phoenix has not yet been launched, and the second animation has not even had a shadow. Soon, the two TV stations should worry about their choices.

"Did the people in the company ask you to say these words, or did the TV station ask you to say these words?" Meng Huo suddenly laughed. He felt that Alice was definitely not his intention to look for him. No one wanted to disturb him during this period. Alice obviously would not take the initiative to break the ban.

The words just now were mostly persuaded by others to speak because she had the best relationship with Meng Huo.

"It's true that I can't hide it from you..." Alice smiled bitterly and shook her head and said, "Everything... During this period, some people in the company called me, including Mr. Takashima from Tokyo, who wanted me to push you. The two TV stations also asked me through other channels. They were a little nervous about "The Girl in Qingyin" and wanted to know the news about the second animation as soon as possible."

"And I think..." Alice glanced at Meng Huo: "You have been thinking about it for so long, it doesn't look like your style! Make a decision early. If you don't want to create original animations, it is also a good choice to adapt the previous comics. You don't have to worry about animation at all, right? For example, "One Piece"..."

"No, no...that's too exaggerated!"

Meng Huo quickly waved his hand and joked, can "One Piece" be released now? He can retire if he is released...

"What about "Shana with the Eyes" or "Fatestaynight"?"

Alice continued to propose.

"Forget it... Shana is not much, I plan to leave it to Manga Island in the future." Meng Huo shook his head and said, "I am mainly considering several hard conditions for the new animation. One is the half-year work, the second is the high popularity, and the third is the most important... The difficulty is the most simple."

He doesn't have time to stay in Tokyo to regulate the production of new animations, so the difficulty of production should not be too high. It is best to allow Sakura Company to maintain a certain production ability.

"It's simple to be difficult?" Alice frowned slightly, then her eyes lit up: "I thought of one! How about Gundam? They have made Gundam animations before. Isn't the simplest and most skilled Gundam the one they are? And this is also a popular subject!"

"Gundam Colored" has been completed for two years, and the Gundam series has flourished. Now it has a large audience in China. (To be continued, please search for Piaotiansi, novels are better, updated and faster!
