Chapter 665: Amazing Concept
Meng Huo just walked into the office on Thursday.
"How was the playback of "Mobile Suit Gundam 00" yesterday?"
He asked the secretary who followed in. The secretary briefly reported it, and then reported an unexpected news: "Deputy General, General Xu's secretary called this morning and said that General Xu would come to Manga Island this morning."
Will Xu Jing come to Manga Island?
Meng Huo was a little surprised. Xu Jing had been to Manga Island several times in the past two years, but that was always the time for matters. He usually wouldn't come over and handed over all the matter to Meng Huo and the others. Now there is nothing big about it, so why did he come over?
"Is it a whim?"
This thought changed in his mind, but Meng Huo still ordered to adjust his time. Xu Jing finally came for a while, and he must take time to receive him.
However, what Meng Huo didn't know was that Xu Jing came because it was related to his new comic. After readers spread the news about the new comic last night, Xu Jing did not purify all night, and his old friends kept asking him for help. Xu Jing couldn't sit still, so he came to Su Hua himself in person today.
And elsewhere, this matter has just fermented.
In Yanjing that day, the Huaxia Sports Bureau held a mobilization meeting for the summer national sports event "Huaxia Cup". The participants included presidents, representatives, and leaders of various sports associations, and the director of the National Sports Bureau was presided over.
The meeting lasted until 11:30. Before the end of the show, the Sports Director suddenly said something.
"Ah, by the way, do you know that cartoonist He Xi is going to launch a new comic?"
Everyone who was about to get up and leave was stunned, some thoughtful, and some were inexplicably confused.
"Director Li. You are..."
Liu Yurong, president of the Volleyball Association, asked tentatively. However, the Sports Director only said this. Then he left with a smile. How many people here can understand what he means, he doesn't mind at all.
However, after the sports director left, the president of the Football Association hummed coldly.
"It's this cartoonist again."
His words stopped the other people's steps from leaving the scene, and turned their eyes away. Liu Yurong frowned slightly and asked, "President Wu, what does this sentence mean? Could it be that you know the director's hint?"
"What's wrong with this?"
The president of the Football Association glanced at the vice president beside him. Since last night, the vice president has been talking about this in his ear: "He Xi, do you know? It is said that this is a somewhat influential cartoonist..."
"It's not a bit, it's very big. He is the number one cartoonist in China, the president..."
The vice president reminded.
But the president of the Football Association continued, just as he didn't hear it, "This He Xi broke the news to readers yesterday that he might launch a skill comic, and our sports themes are also included in his selection of materials. The director's words imply that we can seize this opportunity. Let He Xi's new comics help us promote the sports."
The vice president's face turned pale: "President, how can you come out!"
He was anxious. Isn’t this just letting others know about this in vain? The president was really stubborn. He didn’t seize such a good opportunity and even told others.
"Just a cartoonist." The president of the Football Association shook his head: "I really don't know what the director is thinking about. What can He Xi do with a comic? Instead of considering this, it's better to think about how to make the ratings of the Summer Games well!"
He was disdainful of He Xi. What is a comic and how much promotional effect can it have? It is better to put more advertisements in major cities.
After hearing his words, the president of the Basketball Association on the other side lit up his eyes, and a smile suddenly appeared on the corner of his mouth. However, the smile flew away in a few seconds, the president of the Basketball Association laughed and said, "That's right, the director will occasionally say such small suggestions, but it doesn't have any deep meaning. Let the cartoonist do it... I'm hungry, everyone can go to dinner early!"
The president of the Basketball Association said a word, and many people who knew it also cooperated.
"Yes, eat, eat!"
"Mr. He, wait... I finally saw you once, how about gathering together at noon?"
"OK!"
The conference hall ended soon, and many representatives of small sports events did not take the topic seriously, but Liu Yurong noticed that the sports director would say that after such a major meeting, which was not like a small suggestion.
He made an appointment with two more good friends: the president of the Volleyball and Badminton Association had a meal together, and he also talked about this.
"I think there is something wrong with this matter." Liu Yurong said.
"When you mentioned this, I noticed a detail just now." The president of the platoon association frowned and recalled: "President Wu of the Football Association disdained the cartoonist, but the president of the Basketball Association seemed to laugh before speaking... I don't feel that he doesn't value this matter as much as he said."
"Is this really the case?" Liu Yurong was surprised. He thought about it and frowned: "To put it this way, many people were wrong just now. The president of the table tennis ball has always been a relatively silent person. He was the first to eat after the president of the Basketball Association finished speaking... as if he was deliberately changing the topic."
Liu Yurong and the president of the platoon association looked at each other and saw the doubts and suspicions in each other's eyes. The scene just now was indeed wrong. If you think about it deeply, the conclusion would be quite terrifying.
"Did those people aim at that new comic?", "Is that new comic really that scary?"
The two of them looked at Dai Fei, the president of the Badminton Association who had been eating silently: "Brother Dai Fei, why have you been silent? What do you think about this?"
Dai Fei calmly finished the meal in his mouth, then stopped the chopsticks and sighed slightly: "You really don't know who the cartoonist He Xi is?"
"I don't know!" The two presidents shook their heads: "Is he very famous?"
"...It's not very famous, it's very famous." Dai Fei said with a complicated expression. He actually didn't want to tell this matter out to increase his opponent, but as a friend, now that these two people ask, he can't answer honestly.
"If you don't know, then go home and ask your son or daughter, or even your wife." Dai Fei said: "There will definitely be one of them who can tell you his identity and influence."
"What is the identity? Isn't it just a cartoonist?"
Liu Yurong looked surprised. Didn’t the director say that He Xi is a cartoonist? Why did Dai Fei say that he seemed to be a big shot?
“He is not only a cartoonist, he is also an animator, writer, composer, pianist, entrepreneur, young idol superstar…and has a top influence in these industries…”
Dai Fei was a little helpless. Although they were born on sports and had little contact with comics, how could anyone not know He Xi? However, after he continued to explain a few words, both of his friends reacted and even stood up in shock.
"What, He Xi is the animations such as "Detective Conan", "Pokemon" and "Magic Girl Xiaoyuan" produced by He Xi? Oh my god! My kids love these animations very much!"
"Damn it, it turns out that he is the young genius from Phoenix Company. I have heard of his reality... But it turns out that his name is He Xi! Damn it, I almost missed it!"
Facts have proved that the two presidents have not been exposed to He Xi's works and deeds, they just haven't linked them together. There are a large number of such people in China, and even some people who read comics will not deliberately remember the author's name.
Moreover, He Xi is not a particularly conspicuous name. Even if you have heard it on weekdays, it is normal that others cannot remember it for the moment.
"Do you understand what the director said now?" Dai Fei asked.
"I understand, I understand... If He Xi can draw a comic for our career, it will be a good advertisement!" Liu Yurong nodded, but he continued to frown and said, "It's a pity that this is a comic, and it won't help much."
"Yes, no wonder the president of the Football Association was disdainful. He Xi's new work has limited help... It would be better if it was an animation."
The president of the platoon association nodded. Although they knew who He Xi was and his influence, they still couldn't make a correct judgment when they were not familiar with the comics industry - this is true for most people.
Comics are developing too fast and too fiercely. Many people's thoughts are still in the past stages. It is hard to imagine the current sales and influence of comics, so they cannot be too enthusiastic about He Xi's new works.
Especially for a behemoth like the Football Association, Chinese football is the number one sport in the country with hundreds of millions of fans, and he simply doesn’t like the promotional role of comics.
"You don't understand yet." Dai Fei shook his head and sighed. He decided to do a good job and reminded these two people again.
"It is precisely because it is a comic that this matter is important. Because He Xi's comics are definitely made into animations, and there is no exception..." He paused and wanted to give "Detective Conan" an example, but in the end he did not say it, but explained it in a simpler way.
"It is said that the average readers of He Xi's comics have tens of millions of readers, that is, tens of millions of people will know what they have in it after one of his comics."
After looking at the two stunned friends, Dai Fei slowly put the bomb down: "After adapting the animation, its influence will explode. There are more animation audiences than comic readers, and the timeliness is longer. Animation can be broadcast for many years like a TV series. He Xi's animation influence..."
"The most conservative estimate will be hundreds of millions of viewers."
The most conservative estimate is indeed the most conservative estimate. Dai Fei understands He Xi because he is an animation fan. It is said that the audience who has watched "Detective Conan" has now exceeded 500 million, and in the long run...
Moreover, even after the short story: "Magic Girl Xiaoyuan" was broadcast, reports have pointed out that it will be watched by more than 800 million people in ten years.
What is this concept? If He Xi's new comics have this influence, then the subject he selected would be equivalent to an advertisement with hundreds of millions of people and a long-term effect... (To be continued, please search for Piao Tianwen, novels are better, updated and faster!
