A few days later, Meng Huo arrived in Tokyo by plane.

It has been a while since the first animation of "Mobile Suit Gundam 00" was completed, and various celebrations and exciting activities that the audience is looking forward to have also been held in great success. Meng Huo returned to Tokyo this time to kick off the second part.

On the night he arrived in Tokyo, before he met the painters, Meng Huo was the first to receive an invitation from Tokyo TV Director Sasaki to share dinner at a restaurant with the department.

Sasaki's invitation was to thank Meng Huo for continuing to premiere the second part of "Mobile Suit Gundam 00" on their TV station. This Gundam animation has brought good results to Tokyo TV station before, and he also believes that the ratings of the second part can be improved to a higher level.

During dinner, there were still a few outsiders present as usual. Every time Sasaki invited Meng Huo, he would always bring a few strangers with him. Perhaps he was selfish, but this was the case in the social circle. Meng Huo did not refuse to expand his connections.

Last time, Sasaki brought people from the Go world, and this time he brought people from the entertainment industry. To be more precise, he brought several directors and film producers. Meng Huo had never had much contact with such people. Seeing these directors, he felt quite fresh in his heart.

Another one of these people is very special. Wu Linfang - although his name is ordinary, he can be among the top twenty in the entire Chinese director rankings. Even Meng Huo, who has never watched TV series and movies much, knew him very early.

"I often see you appear in some shows and news." Meng Huo laughed: "But I didn't expect that I would meet you here in Jidong."

"I didn't expect to meet you, Teacher He Xi, so early..." Wu Linfang is a slightly fat middle-aged man with a pair of black glasses, long and a little messy hair. There is a lot of difference with the director in Meng Huo's mind.

But he has an artist's temperament. He speaks very casually: "I am attending an event in Tokyo. After hearing that Director Sasaki wanted to invite Mr. He Xi to dinner, he immediately came over with shamelessness."

Wu Linfang looked at Meng Huo as if he was looking at rare treasures. Just as Meng Huo knew him, Wu Linfang naturally wouldn't know the cartoonist "He Xi". He is also a famous figure in the Chinese director circle, of course - that's not a good reputation.

As a young man who created the animation industry to take off, He Xi is not inferior to the beast in the hearts of many directors. A large number of directors and artists gritted their teeth at him, thinking that he is a rule breaker. But there are also many people who are curious about him.

Wu Linfang was one of them. He was shocked by He Xi's achievements. This young man only took a few years to make a new thing - "animation", bear fruit all over China, and permanently changed the concepts of many TV stations.

This is a change, and the traditional TV industry is the most injured. In recent years, animation's net worth has increased, but the prices of TV series have become increasingly sluggish, and even the number has been greatly reduced. Wu Linfang really wants to unearth Meng Huo's secrets and find out why he can use animation to change the world.

"I heard that Teacher He Xi came here this time to produce the second part of "Mobile Suit Gundam 00"?" Wu Linfang said at the dinner table: "I wonder if I can visit it too? I'm very curious about the production process of the animation."

Meng Huo was stunned, and then smiled and said, "Of course, welcome." At this time, a thought suddenly flashed across him, which made him feel that he had a solution to a long-standing trouble.

After dinner, Wu Linfang and Meng Huo exchanged contact information. In the following days, he watched the entire production process of the first episode of the second part of "Mobile Suit Gundam 00" and gained a new understanding of the animation.

Meng Huo saw him watching for a few days and felt it was time, so he found a time and asked: "Mr. Wu has been watching for a few days. Are you interested in animation now?"

"It's quite interesting." Wu Linfang nodded: "Although the performance is different, the production of animation stories is very similar to TV series and movies. If Teacher He Xi makes a movie, he will definitely do it well."

Meng Huo shook his head: "It's too difficult for me to transform into a movie. How to control actors is a big question... However, animation directors are much simpler than film directors. If Mr. Wu is interested in animation, why not come to do animation? Our company needs a director like you to join."

He suddenly threw out an olive branch. When Wu Linfang asked to watch, Meng Huo was thinking that he knew who he lacked the most - what he lacked was such a capable director. If there was an excellent director by his side, some of his animations could be handed over.

For example, when the animation adaptation of "Clannad" is adapted, the director's main work is not much different from other directors. If he leaves the animation to a big director, he will definitely not do it worse than Meng Huo.

"This..." Wu Linfang was startled by Meng Huo's invitation, but came back to his senses and immediately shook his head: "Sorry, although the animation is interesting, I am still more suitable for my current job."

Animation is indeed a very novel thing, and transformation doesn't seem difficult. But it doesn't mean it's not difficult. If you really want to make animation, Wu Linfang still has many things to learn from again. He doesn't want to give up what he is now.

Furthermore, no matter how many animations are now developed, the identity of an animation director is nothing compared to that of a TV series, and the director of a movie is simply unable to compare. The glory and identity of the three are different. How could Wu Linfang bend down to serve as an animation director?

"Just forget it, but I believe there will be a chance in the future." Wu Linfang smiled and said: "Anime is developing so fast. If Teacher He Xi is interested, you can find our company to cooperate in making animations in the future."

His words disappointed Meng Huo, but that's right. Such a great director can't just say that he can pull it. Without enough attractiveness, he will definitely not change jobs. As for the "cooperative animation" that Wu Linfang mentioned, Meng Huo was no longer interested. It was not that he refused to cooperate with others, but that there was no need to cooperate at all.

Now that I want to make an animation, Phoenix Company can be self-sufficient in the painters, music, scripts and other things it needs, and they also have sufficient funds to guarantee it. In this way, why does Meng Huo have to cooperate with other companies?

He doesn't need an actor, he just needs a director...

"it's a pity."

Meng Huo felt regretful that he did not cater to Wu Linfang.

Anyway, the direction has been found, and the director does not agree. Meng Huo can also find other directors. There are always some people who are willing to join Phoenix. (To be continued, please search for Astronomy, novels are better, updated and faster!
