Chapter 637: Possibilities
Not only Meng Huo is concerned about this matter, but also Ning Hai’s two assistants.
Although it was not working hours, Tomato and Mach still gathered together to watch the premiere of "Sherlock Detective", especially Mach. After the animation began, his face was always very complicated because the style of the animation version of "Sherlock Detective" actually inherited his comic style, and it felt like he was better than blue than blue.
In this new animation produced by Angel, a discerning person can see that the characters and backgrounds in it are all from adapted comics. Although many years have passed, Mach still feels a little uncomfortable. It took him a lot of energy to adapt the text form of the original novel into a comic form. The comic images of each character in "Detective Sherlock" were drawn bit by bit.
However, Angels don't need this step. They can make this animation well by modifying and improving it based on his adaptation.
"You're losing a lot..." When the animation was broadcast, Tomato turned around and looked at mach and said: "After all, it's the image you designed. They used it directly without notifying you, and it became so beautiful. In the future, the audience will say that your comics are not as good as animation."
The animated version of "Sherlock Detective" is quite excellent. Not to mention the all-star voice actors and high-end, atmospheric and high-end songs, just like similar characters and picture settings, it is much better than the comic adaptation version. Even readers who like comics will think that it deserves the original status than the comics.
Tomato can already see the response after the broadcast of "Sherlock". In addition to praise, many viewers will definitely ridicule mach and praise angels higher.
But in fact, there is no comparison between mach and angel in this matter. If it weren't for mach's adaptation, the angel's animation wouldn't be so good-looking even now, Tomato still thinks that mach's adaptation of "Sherlock" was very successful, and it was quite successful, but it just met the wrong opponent.
"If Teacher He Xi had not emerged, "Sherlock Detective" would have become the most popular comic at that time, right?"
Tomato thought to himself that the biggest change in the history of Chinese comics was He Xi. Without him, Mach could have relied on "Detective Sherlock" to become the most popular cartoonist. And Phoenix Company could not rise. Zhongxia Company may not be established in a few years, and after its establishment, they will also support the most popular Mach.
If you analyze this way, the biggest loss in the change brought by He Xi is the mach.
But obviously, the mach is much more calm than in the past. He didn't know what Tomato was thinking, but he showed his calmness from another thing: "It doesn't matter, just say it if the audience wants to say it. When Longteng asked me to adapt "Detective Sherlock", I only had the right to adapt. The results after the adaptation did not belong to me..."
He may be complicated in his heart, but he did not complain about this matter in the end. The angel took his setting and Mach chose to accept it. He was satisfied with his current life and was no longer as paranoid as he was when he was young. Even if Tomato told him that He Xi harmed him, Mach would laugh it off.
Tomato knew this, so she didn't continue to say it.
The two watched the animation quietly, just like Xu Jing in the same city, he also watched the animation with a guest in the office. The guest's name was Wang Lei, the editor-in-chief of the newspaper with a relationship with Phoenix Company. Wang Lei was originally here to interview Xu Jing, but with the broadcast of "Sherlock", they shifted the topic to the animation.
"What do you think of this animation?"
Xu Jing asked.
"...It's very good." Wang Lei hesitated for a moment, not knowing whether he should tell him frankly, but after thinking for a while, he still honestly said: "I feel that the quality of this animation is no worse than "Flame Boy", and it will be much more successful than we expected."
"I saw not only "Detective Conan" in this animation, but also "The Girl of Light"..."
Wang Lei saw the shadow of "The Detective Sherlock". To be more specific, what he saw should be the animation skills of "The Detective Girl". "The Detective Girl" is an animation that wins with technology. Its story is simple, but the animation performance of the characters is very outstanding. "The Detective Sherlock" seems to have a similar feeling, which is more charming than the character image in "The Boy of Fire".
There is no doubt that after Angel Learns He Xi, although after "The Girl of Light" was broadcast, many experts speculated that it would bring a wave of imitation and progress in animation technology, Wang Lei did not expect that the first thing to show this progress was Zhongxia Company, the most dangerous to Phoenix Company.
With excellent painters and angel groups, a large number of celebrity voice actors, music created by masters, and now with the matter of "learning from Hexi", Wang Lei was a little worried that if this continues, the animation quality of Zhongxia Company will be greatly improved, and perhaps there will be capital to compete for quality with Phoenix Company soon.
"Your eyes are quite sharp!" Xu Jing smiled.
"Aren't you nervous?"
Wang Lei looked at Xu Jing in surprise. Why did he seem to be not worried about this at all?
"Meng Huo is not nervous, why am I nervous?" Xu Jing smiled and said, "We are watching so seriously, but he doesn't even agree with it... He even let go of the sniper of "Detective Sherlock" in "Detective Conan". I think the technology of "Qingyin Girl" will be learned to make him happy."
"Why?" Wang Lei was shocked again.
Xu Jing took a sip of tea: "His vision is different from that of ordinary cartoonists. Others learn to improve quality, which is beneficial to the quality improvement of the entire comics industry."
"And...I believe what he is most afraid of is others' learning."
There are more people who learn He Xi, but so far no one has been able to surpass He Xi through imitation and learning. Learning will bring about rapid development of the entire industry, but it will not have any negative effects on He Xi. He has provided many skills for others to learn, but over the years, there has never been a disciple angel that can threaten him.
Xu Jing believes that as long as others follow He Xi’s butt, Phoenix Company will always be at the forefront of the industry.
"You may be right... Teacher He Xi is not afraid of others learning, but this "Detective Sherlock" is unexpectedly good, and it has two consecutive episodes of broadcast..." Wang Lei watched TV, shook his head and smiled bitterly: "I guess Ninghai TV should be ready to hold a celebration banquet now!"
"You're so optimistic about Detective Sherlock?"
A strange color flashed in Xu Jing's eyes.
"Yeah." Wang Lei nodded. He had a close relationship with Phoenix Company. Since he had been frank, he did not consider hiding it at this time. He believed that Xu Jing would not feel disliked by him because of this. If Xu Jing was such a narrow-minded person and could not listen to the truth, he would not have been able to get along so peacefully with the cartoonist He Xi.
"I can't describe how good "Sherlock" is. This is the work of those reviewers, but the first episode is not over yet, but I already want to watch the second episode." Wang Lei said: "I don't have a special interest in detective animation, and the standards for watching animation are quite high. I think other viewers should have the same ideas as me."
Wang Lei has been paying attention to the comics industry for many years. In addition to his long-term research on He Xi's works, his vision and requirements are higher than that of most viewers. Apart from He Xi, few works are worthy of his attention. "Detective Sherlock" is an exception.
He has no preference for detective animation, so he even thinks it is better. Those who are interested in detective animation, or other ordinary audiences, will definitely feel better.
"Sherlock Detective" will be a great success, this is a competition without opponents. Of course, it does not mean that it can surpass "Detective Conan". In fact, "Sherlock Detective" does not need to be the best. Without other detective animations to grab the market, as long as it does not disappoint, it will succeed and it does not disappoint!
Xu Jing touched his beard, and his feelings about this new animation were not much different from Wang Lei.
"Zhongxia succeeded..."
He thought about this, but he didn't feel very regretful. This result had been expected before, and it just became a fact at this moment.
The management of Phoenix Company has been mentally prepared, so the premiere of "Detective Sherlock" is mediocre. Whether it is Ninghai's Xu Jing, Su Hua's Meng Huo, or Tokyo's "Detective Conan" production team, the ones who were not affected by the biggest impact were Ninghai TV and Zhongxia Company.
Starting from the first second of the broadcast of "Sherlock", the two families mentioned that their hearts were watching. It is no exaggeration to say that whether this animation can succeed is crucial to both families. Ninghai TV wants to maintain the number of viewers in the animation, and Zhongxia Company wants to occupy a high point to cope with the future pressure of Phoenix Company.
Neither of them can lose. Ninghai TV will fail completely if it loses. Zhongxia Company will lose, and it will be difficult for them to continue to compete with Phoenix Company in animation.
He Xi's animation is really too horrible, especially since several of his popular works have not been animated yet. These works are time bombs, and any one of them will be enough to make Zhongxia Company frightened. If Zhongxia Company cannot gain a certain advantage at this time, how can they fight in the future?
If "Detective Sherlock" fails, not to mention other people, there will be negative impacts within Zhongxia company first.
Therefore, after the animation was broadcast, when I saw the real-time data provided on the screen, whether it was Ninghai TV or Zhongxia company representatives who were paying attention to the progress on the TV station, everyone breathed a sigh of relief, and then they were ecstatic in their hearts. This was a shock full of joy.
"We won!"
They thought so, and this victory brought them more confidence and possibilities. (To be continued...)
