Chapter 739: Zhongxia New Animation
"Congratulations on the end!"
In the evening, when Meng Huo and Li Qin were calling on a routine basis, Li Qin suddenly said something, which made Meng Huo stunned for a moment before she realized that she was talking about the ending of "The Girl of Light". This was the first time that Li Qin had expressed her congratulations to him, which made Meng Huo feel a little unresponsive.
Although he knew that Li Qin would occasionally read animations and comics, she had hardly expressed any comments on them, let alone say congratulations on the end.
"Mom, did you watch "The Girl of Qingyin" today?" Meng Huo asked curiously.
"Well, it's not just me, but Hua Meng and the others also watched it." Li Qin smiled and said, "We watched it at home together. Yan Meng originally said she wanted to watch the second half of "Mobile Suit Gundam 00", but she finished listening to the ending song without losing it."
Although "Mobile Suit Gundam 00" and "Qingyin Girl" were broadcast on the same day, the time is not exactly the same. If you don't listen to the ending song of the next few minutes after watching "Qingyin Girl", you can see the next half of the episode of "Mobile Suit Gundam 00".
Wang Yanmeng took the other two "Gundams" to think so, but after the animation content of "Qingyin Girl" was broadcast, they still didn't say a word and listened to the entire ending song. After listening to it, they didn't rush to watch "Mobile Suit Gundam 00". They were obviously infected by the songs in the last episode.
This episode of the animation ends with a performance of the Light Voice Department in the school. The girls in the Light Voice Department announced the completion of the animation with singing, which made many viewers happy to listen.
"By the way, I heard that there is a second part of "The Girl of Qingyin", right?" Li Qin asked again, Meng Huo was a little surprised: "Where did you hear it?"
"Hua Meng told me, this is not a secret, right?" Li Qin smiled and said, "I heard that many people know about it. None of your assistants don't know."
Meng Huo was speechless, the news spread so quickly. He did not publicize the matter to the outside world. Unexpectedly, it spread within the company so quickly. I think media reporters will know about it soon.
"Yes, it's within a year." However, Meng Huo did not have any intention of concealing it specifically: "I'm ready for the general plot of the second part. I will just wait until the time is about to come out and announce it officially."
When he was producing the first animation of "The Girl of Light", he actually prepared some materials for the second part. In this way, if the time is right in the future, the animation can immediately enter the production period, and the preliminary preparations will be reduced to the shortest.
Li Qin was very happy: "When will it be made?"
She is rarely so enthusiastic about an animation. In fact, among the animations of Phoenix Company that are broadcasting now, only "The Girl of Light" is the most suitable for her taste. "Mobile Suit Gundam 00" is too profound and boring. "The Elf of the Elf" is an animation that young people love to watch, but Li Qin is not interested in this kind of "The Elf" animation - she has never even raised a dog.
"Detective Conan", which has been temporarily completed, is also boring in Li Qin's eyes. "The Girl of Light" is simple and interesting, and the song is also very good. Li Qin likes it very much.
"This year should be unlikely." Unfortunately, Meng Huo's answer poured cold water on Li Qin: "This year's animation has been decided, and you will have to wait until next year to have the opportunity to produce "Qingyin Girl"."
Next year, with more than half a year left, Li Qin calmed down again.
"What about the lower animation?" she asked: "What kind of animation is the lower animation? Is it a simple campus animation like "The Girl of Light"?"
She found that she fell in love with campus animation because it was simple and interesting. It was full of young people's atmosphere. Li Qin felt that making more animations like this would also be beneficial to Meng Huo. He always acted like adults, and he lacked a sense of "youngness".
Of course, this does not mean that adults are not good, but Li Qin sometimes feels that she owes Meng Huo. Meng Huo has never had the youth that other people's children enjoy. He dedicated the best youth in his life to comics.
Or in other words, comics are his youth...
"The lower animation is also related to campus." Meng Huo didn't know what Li Qin was thinking, but he knew what animation Li Qin wanted to watch, and said a little regretfully: "But that's not campus animation. The animation theme is very large and there are many war scenes. I think it may not be in line with your appetite..."
There is no doubt that "The Rebellious Lelouch" will definitely not meet Li Qin's appetite. It is an animation feast for other audiences. However, Meng Huo immediately added: "Mom, don't worry, you may not like my new animation, but Zhongxia Company will launch a campus animation this year, and you will definitely like that animation."
Li Qin was stunned. Strange, isn’t her son a mortal enemy with Zhongxia? Why did he talk to him today?
"What animation? Why haven't I heard of it?" She asked curiously. Li Qin didn't pay much attention to animations and comics outside of Phoenix Company, but she often hears news about this company in Ninghai City, where Zhongxia Company is carefully cultivated.
News about the news of Ninghai TV station also often broadcasts the news about Zhongxia Company. Li Qin remembers it very clearly that Zhongxia has not made any new works in recent times, and the hot new animation is only one work called "The Country of Ice and Fire".
"Of course you haven't heard of it, the news has not been announced yet!" Meng Huo laughed and said, "The name of the new animation is "clannad". I think you should have an impression of this name."
"Clannad?" Li Qin said, the name is so familiar, and then she reacted and her eyes widened: "What, Clannad? Wait, Xiaohuo, if I remember correctly, this should be your game? How did it become Zhongxia?"
This is really amazing. Although Li Qin has never played a game, she has heard of this name at least. Several assistants praised the game and said that it would definitely be a big seller if it was made into an animation, but how did it become a Zhongxia Company now?
"Well, "clannad" is my game, but I handed over the animation production rights to Zhongxia." Meng Huo nodded. He understood Li Qin's surprise. The news had not spread yet. If it spread, the entire Chinese comics industry would be shocked.
In fact, it was not easy for Meng Huo to make this decision. Since he first spoke with Dong Ding, Dong Ding has been seeking this from him, wanting to take over the animation production rights of "Clannad".
Dong Ding is a very unpredictable person. His perspective on danger is different from others, and sometimes it is very strange. Zhongxia Company has always lacked excellent animations to fight He Xi, and while Dong Ding selected works and talents, he even turned his attention to Meng Huo.
"The only person who can defeat He Xi is He Xi" - There is a saying in the Chinese comics industry, but except Dong Ding, no one has ever thought of using He Xi to defeat He Xi, which is obviously unreasonable.
However, Dong Ding did it and put forward enough tempting conditions.
First: They only need to make the production rights of the first part of "Clannad", which means that the most important story of this game is still in Meng Huo's hands. Meng Huo has the right to decide whether to renew the following production rights after the first part of "Clannad".
Second: They allowed Meng Huo to serve as director and were fully responsible for the production of "Clannad", including the selection of music and voice actors, and Meng Huo could be the only one who could be the decision. In other words, Meng Huo's power to produce "Clannad" at Zhongxia Company is the same as that of Phoenix Company.
This first point is nothing, and other animation companies interested in this work have also put forward similar views. As long as Meng Huo is willing to authorize, they can get the previous plot, but Meng Huo does not want others to do anything, so he is not tempted.
But the second point is incredible. Zhongxia asked Meng Huo to serve as the animation director, which made Meng Huo unable to believe when he first heard it. Moreover, this point is indeed very tempting, don't forget. Meng Huo had handed over the copyright of "Clannad" comics to Zhong Xia Company before.
At that time, there were many factors that gave the comics to them to adapt, but it turned out that he did the right thing. Zhongxia Company's original comics were not good, but adapted comics were first-class. The comics of "Clannad" perfectly inherited the quality of the game. Relying on Zhongxia Company's powerful channel advantages, it also became one of Zhongxia's popular comics.
The "Clannad" comics are not finished yet, but they are already very popular, more than twice as much as the game was released. If an animation is created, there will be more viewers.
Because of this, Meng Huo was a little moved. Zhongxia Company has a cartoonist responsible for adapting "Clannad", various excellent animation teams, and various resources are also very good. Dong Ding promised to let him use it. Meng Huo was confident in launching the "Clannad" animation with extremely high quality.
At the same time, he can also personally get in touch with the excellent talents and technologies of Zhongxia Company and find some management methods and suggestions that are valuable to Phoenix Company.
Even after hearing this, Xu Jing suggested that Meng Huo agree to Zhongxia Company - Zhongxia's purpose is very simple. They want to rely on an animation to stabilize the number of viewers and the status of the TV station, and even rely on He Xi's reputation to attract more viewers.
However, this incident is undoubtedly a double-sided sword for Zhongxia, and it does more harm than good. What if Meng Huo defeats himself in the production of "Clannad"? It will not cause any loss to his reputation. On the contrary, relying on Zhongxia's various resources, he will be more at the peak of his life.
This will especially increase Phoenix's influence in Ninghai. He Xi's popularity that has lost in Ninghai for several years may return to the highest point because of the animation "Clannad", and even overwhelm the angel in one fell swoop.
Therefore, after proper consideration, Meng Huo agreed to Dong Ding.
This is a hard battle. Phoenix Company will engage in a battle with Zhongxia Company around "Clannad" that no one can see through or understand. Meng Huo believes that Dong Ding will not let himself snatch the fruit, and he will definitely have other ways to take the initiative.
But it doesn't matter. It's generally beneficial to Meng Huo, and he is not afraid of challenges. Moreover, it is not so easy to produce "Clannad". Although it has been decided, many details are still being discussed. It will take one month for the official announcement, and the animation production and release will be even longer.
Besides, Meng Huo's schedule is also a big problem. (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to come to Qidian to vote for recommendations, monthly votes, and your support is my greatest motivation. Please search Piao Tianwen, the novel is better, updated and faster!
