Chapter 761: Unpublished
On Friday, after get off work, the painters in the animation department did not rush to leave, but started the final inspection of "The Rebellious Lelouch".
It is said to be a check, but in fact, everyone is sitting in the screening room and watching the prepared animation. There are dubbing and songs in the animation. This is a complete animation after layers of inspections, and there is basically no problem.
Sure enough, dozens of painters were very excited after reading it.
"It really looks completely different after matching the sound, just like the two works."
"Teacher He Xi's voice for Lelouch is great!"
"This episode has been done perfectly and will definitely be popular!"
No one asked questions about the final version of the animation, Meng Huo was relieved while listening to their comments, and then he was happy. "The Rebellious Lelouch" was completed, and there were two days left, and once this holiday was over, it would appear on the TV screen.
Two days were short, but all preparations for the animation premiere were ready, and even the broadcast of Tokyo TV and CCTV was decided, Meng Huo could relax and enjoy the holiday. He had two things to do before he waited for the broadcast of "The Rebellious Lelouch".
On Saturday morning, Meng Huo left Comic Island with Alice, Qin Ya and three assistants.
"Teacher, do you know the chess players we want to meet?" Qin Ya asked while eating snacks in the car.
They are going to Su Hua's century-old chess academy today. In the past, Meng Huo interacted with chess players in Tokyo, but now because of "The Rebellious Lelouch" and "Ad", he spent most of his working hours on Su Hua, so he naturally had to contact the chess players here.
After receiving his words, Su Hua's Go Association offered to come to provide help, but Meng Huo did not let them come. Instead, he wanted to take Qin Ya to visit. This assistant didn't understand Go at all, and it was very troublesome.
As for the three assistants, they were just brought by Qin Ya.
"I don't know." Meng Huo shook his head. He had never contacted Su Hua's chess player, but he might have seen him. After all, he had contacted chess players from other places in Tokyo, and maybe there were Su Hua's chess player in it.
"But I really didn't expect that this chess academy would be a Taoist temple." Alice smiled, she was also curious to go with her. Su Hua's century-old chess academy was built in a Taoist temple that was not open to the public, which made her very curious.
Taoist temples are places where Taoist priests practice. There are many Taoist temples all over China, and a large number of Taoist temples are open to the public as places for tourism and visits, but some Taoist temples remain mysterious, giving people a very ancient feeling.
This is also one of the reasons why Meng Huo was willing to visit. He was very interested in the Taoist temples in China.
"Go is not a profession." Meng Huo responded to Alice with what the Go Association said to him. Although modern Go evolved into an industry, it is still protected by some ancient customs, and Taoist priests are one of them.
A few Taoist schools still regard Go as a necessary skill for "cultivating one's own character". The Taoist sect behind Su Hua's chess academy is one of the representatives. They specially use a Taoist sect as a chess academy. In addition to the Taoist priests of this sect, secular chess players can also go in and learn.
Meng Huo was very curious about this. This was his first time to come into contact with Taoism.
But unfortunately, when I arrived at this chess academy, Meng Huo was a little disappointed. This chess academy was indeed transformed from a Taoist temple and is located on a suburban mountain in Suhua City. The environment is elegant and the building looks very old at first glance.
However, the building is similar to the outside world, the furnishings are very modern, and there is even air conditioning in the room, the wall is a clock, and water dispenser. Most of the people coming and going are chess players wearing ordinary clothes instead of Taoist priests imagined by Meng Huo.
This is not a Taoist temple, but a real chess academy.
"Are you disappointed?" Alice quietly asked Meng Huo while accepting the hospitality.
"Somewhat." Meng Huo nodded: "But it was also expected..."
Compared with the previous world, the Chinese culture in this world is obviously better inherited. However, "modernization" is the biggest destruction of ancient culture. In dealing with this rapid impact, every industry will change, and few people can stay out of it.
The same is true for Taoism. In the past few hundred years, Taoism was divided into two different schools, one is the modern school and the other is the classical school. As time goes by, there are fewer and fewer classical school - Meng Huo thought that the Taoist temple that conserved Go should be the classical school, but he miscalculated it.
"I thought I could see a real hermit master..."
Meng Huo regretted that he always believed that this world had another side. This feeling came from two aspects. One was his own special situation, what was spiritual energy? Was it really produced by himself? Or did this world allow such things to exist?
Another source of feeling is Shen Jie, who is very strange. Although she said there is no superman in this world, Meng Huo always had doubts in his heart that Shen Jie should not have lie to him, but what she said is inconsistent with reality.
Shen Jie was trained by her grandfather when she was a child. At that time, she had the same qualities as excellent than ordinary people. But in the past so many years, her grandfather passed away for at least ten years. Shen Jie's physical and other qualities are far beyond those of ordinary people. She is not a training maniac, how could she maintain it for so long?
She is not ordinary, and Shen Jie's excellence lies in the fact that Meng Huo, who carries a cheater, is difficult for her to catch up with her. He has been using his psychic energy to stimulate his body for many years, but now he still doesn't have the confidence to be able to fight Shen Jie. The two must have lost the fight between them.
However, Shen Jie's quality was something that was trained in just a few years as a child. Apart from her infant, Meng Huo estimated that the time he used his psychic energy to exercise himself should be similar to that of Shen Jie's grandfather's exercise.
But Shen Jie's effect was obviously better than Meng Huo. Meng Huo suspected that she was deceived by her grandfather, who was definitely not an ordinary warrior.
Therefore, Meng Huo felt more and more that there was another side in this world... Unfortunately, that side was like a flower in the fog, and she couldn't find it no matter how hard she looked for it. When she was traveling in the past, Meng Huo also wanted to find it, but she still got nothing.
In the evening, Meng Huo left with a hint of regret.
They stayed in the chess academy for a day. Meng Huo and several chess players discussed some chess scores needed later, while Qin Ya and the others followed him to learn how to play chess. Although they were just a beginner, they were somewhat helpful to the comics of "Chess Soul".
It is worth mentioning that Alice also learned it. She learned it very quickly, but she didn't seem to have the talent to play chess, and Qin Ya was a little better than her. This was the first time Meng Huo saw Alice that she was not good at, and she felt it was a bit new.
But that's all for this day. After a night of rest, Meng Huo and Alice went out again on Sunday the next day - but the reason they went out this time had nothing to do with Go, but because the animation studio of "ad" is about to be prepared.
At first, Zhongxia Company wanted to rent a one-story office building in the building group in the heart of Suhua City, but in the end, because the office building was crowded with people, it might be unfavorable for Meng Huo's commuting and getting off work, they changed their minds again.
Today's studio is arranged in a beautifully landscaped area on the Third Ring Road of Suhua City. There are fewer people moving here, not far from the straight line of Manga Island, and the fees are also very cheap. More importantly, Zhongxia Company has its own newspaper here.
Meng Huo set off from Manga Island and arrived at the new studio location in just twenty minutes. This time was even beyond his expectations - it was quite close and the road was easy to walk.
"Qinglong...every time I see this name, I feel a bit wonderful." After getting off the car, Alice looked at the studio's door sign and said, "Qinglong is the name of this new animation studio, and the logo is a vivid blue dragon.
I don’t know if I wanted to overwhelm the “Phoenix” by name, Zhongxia Company made a strong fight. Meng Huo felt that Qinglong was indeed a good name, so he agreed. Compared with the “Island” studio on Manga Island, “Qinglong” is obviously more acceptable.
However, Meng Huo didn't care about the name. Whether it was the "Island" or "Qinglong", they were just tools he used to make animations. Zhongxia Company might want to use Meng Huo to set off the "Qinglong" sign, but Meng Huo would prove that this was useless.
He is confident that he will cultivate the "Qinglong", but that will not be a simple cultivation. Meng Huo will make the "Qinglong" unable to live without him. If he wants to have no regrets in the future, this "Qinglong" will not be a "Qinglong".
This is a contest between him and Zhongxia Company, but what no one knows is that this is also an attempt by Meng Huo and Dong Ding on future possibilities. After Meng Huo agreed to the animation of "Ad", he began to adjust some of his ideas and no longer regard Zhongxia as his mortal enemy.
They are opponents, but they cannot be defeated in the process of confrontation. It would be best if the benefits of both sides can be achieved. In this way, the winner will be decided in the future, and the two companies will be stronger than they are now. With the merger of strong forces, the comics industry will be able to unify the world.
The merger of Zhongxia and Fenghuang - this is not only Dong Ding's hope, but also Meng Huo's hope. Meng Huo raised his head and looked at the door sign for a while with some feelings. This studio will become the first step for him and a very important step for his intimate contact with Zhongxia.
"Let's go, let's go in."
He turned to Alice and said, then took the lead in walking in.
In October, when "The Rebellious Lelouch" was about to appear on TV, the animation production of "ad" officially kicked off with Meng Huo's arrival, but at this time, no reporter discovered that "He Xi" and "Zhongxia" were together.
For some reason, Zhongxia Company suddenly made a suggestion to Meng Huo: "If no one found out that the director of "Ad" was Mr. He Xi during the animation production process, what if he didn't announce this matter?" (To be continued)
