Chapter 80: Every man has a Gundam dream in his heart

The red Porsche speeded past, causing a burst of marvel at passers-by on the street, but the car was very quiet.

Meng Huo couldn't stand the silent atmosphere and took the initiative to speak: "Don't you scold me?"

“…can’t.”

Alice drove without looking straight, her voice slow: "Dad is old and will leave sooner or later, maybe you will be a good heir."

She did not let Meng Huo see through her thoughts, and on the way home, the two did not have any extra conversations.

Porsche parked under the building.

"Get out of the car and go back to bed early."

"Thanks."

Meng Huo thanked her and then walked out of the car.

He was about to close the car door when a voice suddenly came from inside: "If you get the Phoenix, would you still want me to help?"

Alice may not know whether Meng Huo can succeed, but he has created so many miracles, and even if he succeeds this time, it is no wonder.

"Yes." Meng Huo looked back in the car and smiled, "As long as you want, I will have a place to stay by my side."

"Yeah?"

Alice muttered, her lips seemed to be tilted upwards. She didn't say anything and drove away quickly.

In the next two days, Xu Jing formulated specific requirements to improve the standards of other cartoonists.

Starting from December, Phoenix Company will add a column "He Xi's Guidance Room" to "Weekly Boys" and "Weekly Girls". This column will launch a new short comic every week, and the submissions of this short story are fully reviewed by He Xi.

He had to guide and accept other cartoonists' submissions, and then Phoenix Company conducted a reader survey. The weekly short stories have special and public questionnaires. If the reader satisfaction reaches the top three, the short stories will be transferred to the official serialization. After December, Meng Huo would succeed if he added two new serials to "Weekly Boy" and "Weekly Girls".

In terms of quantity, this requirement is not very difficult. There are five issues in "Weekly Boy" in December and four issues in "Weekly Girl" and half of the success rate is enough.

However, reader satisfaction is not simple. He Xi's comics are the first to be satisfied with in the two magazines. The two short stories require ranking in the top three, so it is almost certain that these two comics will rank second and third. This can indeed be regarded as a best-selling comic in magazines with 10 or 20 comics serializations.

"What a strict standard..."

Meng Huo couldn't help but feel tricky about this request, but he soon realized that this request would not be more difficult than he thought. Because the new comic only surpassed other people, and the others added up to him.

He began to prepare, except for routine comics, he did not even surf the Internet or learn piano, so he would not know about some sensational and fermenting events for a while.

On Wednesday, Ye Xiong, editor-in-chief of Weekly Boys, walked into his house at the invitation of Meng Huo.

"Teacher Tomato, are you here too?"

After entering the door, Ye Xiong found that besides Alice, the professional cartoonist Tomato was also sitting in the living room, but Meng Huo was not there: "Where is Teacher He Xi?"

"He is printing the information and it will come out soon." Tomato turned around and replied: "Teacher He Xi was figuring out new topics two days ago. I came here today to see it."

"New subject?"

Ye Xiong's eyes lit up. He remembered "He Xi's Guidance Room". The editorial department received an order to launch a new short story. The past two days have made everyone excited, and each editor has notified his cartoonists to prepare to submit.

But Meng Huo, who is in charge of this column, has not appeared for a long time, and everyone is disappointed, and is still wondering if Meng Huo does not intend to guide others.

Ye Xiong discovered today that it seemed that this was not the case.

"It turns out that Teacher He Xi has requirements for the subject matter."

He sat down with anticipation. What subject would it be? Not long after, Meng Huo, who had printed the information, walked out of the study.

"Give it." He put the information on the table: "Look, I ask for short submissions to be written according to this subject."

Ye Xiong and Mr. Tomato quickly gathered together to look at it. The information was only ten pages, full of text and some simple robot portraits.

"What is this?" Mr. Pomoto was surprised: "Huge robot!"

"Yes, that's what I can say."

Meng Huo nodded, and a light flashed in his eyes: "I just name them Mobile Suit Gundam, just call them Gundam for short."

Gundam, this is a very popular anime series in the previous life.

Since its debut in 1979, this series has had a significant impact on the global subcultural community. It has appeared widely in movies, ova, comics, novels, video games, special photography, models and other places. It is one of the most famous, enduring and huge series in animation works. Even university professors and critics regard Gundam as a research topic.

"Every man has a Gundam dream in his heart."

Meng Huo believes in the potential of this series, but the Gundam series has to be gradually accepted through market development, and this is more convenient for others to do than himself. Meng Huo opens up the subject matter and allows other cartoonists to create stories, and he will bring out several masterpieces when it is appropriate.

He was not worried that others would surpass him because the information he brought out was relatively old. Those cartoonists could not reach the maturity stage without ten years of exploration and exploration. Meng Huo always stood at the top of the subject.

"This huge robot is actually driven by a human!" Ye Xiong and Tomato flipped through the information, and the more they read it, the more shocked it became. This information opened up a brand new world.

The structure of a robot like Gundam is clear and charming, and the setting of being driven by a person is even more amazing. The information does not clearly explain how to fight, but a few simple sketches can show that Gundam can be accompanied by close combat, lightsabers, guns and cannons, etc. Its battle is as comprehensive as a human.

“Cool, so cool!”

Teacher Tomato's mind flashed. He seemed to see a huge robot fighting in the sky and the ocean. It was a battle of steel, a battle between long swords and shells, and a passionate battle of pure men! The structure of this robot is very suitable for readers to accept quickly, and the violence and pleasure of the battle scenes are also very sufficient.

"I, I want to learn this! Teacher He Xi, please teach me how to draw Gundam!"

Teacher Tomato was excited. He stood up excitedly, but before he could stand firm, he was suddenly pushed away by Ye Xiong.

"Teacher He Xi, you are so amazing!"

The comic editor took two steps first, holding Meng Huo's hand excitedly, and he shook up and down: "This subject can become popular, but it will definitely become popular! It is unprecedented. It is our company. No, it is a revolution in the comics industry!"

Meng Huo smiled slightly. This is of course a revolution. The comics industry is blank now, and it is not only this time that he can revolutionize.

The editor-in-chief of "Weekly Girl" will come tomorrow, and he will also revolutionize her.

"Editor Ye, let's discuss the cost of borrowing topics..."

Of course, what Meng Huo needs most is money.

(Thanks to Zi Xie Nixi for your reward!!)
