Chapter 844: The Killer
Dongfangxing agreed to Meng Huo's bid.
Alice completed the 100% share acquisition of Oriental Star on behalf of Phoenix Company the next afternoon, but as soon as the acquisition contract was signed, she threw the rest to her subordinates and hurried to the train station with Meng Huo.
"Don't you leave it to them?" After working on the two schools, Meng Huo was much more relaxed on the way back, but he wanted Alice to stay and completely solve the Dongfangxing matter, but he was still rejected.
"It's okay." Sitting on the high-speed rail, Alice expressed her trust in her subordinates: "They are all professionals who can do the rest of the work - and there are not many things to say, kick out the unwanted people and keep the needy people, it's that simple."
After acquiring Oriental Star, Alice's first order was to clean up the portal, and within a few days, they would fire all the unwanted people without any politeness, leaving only the talents they needed. Oriental Star painters would also have a week's vacation and move to the location of the new company in a week.
Meng Huo has no objection to this plan, but he has one more thing to ask: "What should those four directors do?"
"I have told them about the acquisition of Dongfangxing, and I will send someone to negotiate with them about the shares in the next few days." Alice replied, because suddenly the poaching changed to the acquisition, and they had to re-discuss the distribution of shares with the directors, but this matter is very simple. Just take the money from the directors according to the previously agreed ratio, and Alice doesn't need to deal with it personally.
Now, Meng Huo's questions were solved.
The acquisition of Oriental Star has accelerated the establishment of the film company, and the gap between the artists has also been filled. As long as the painters and directors are allowed to work together for a period of time, "The Magician of the Early Century" can be officially started.
"The most troublesome place has passed..." Meng Huo sighed. Yanjing's film company was on the verge of the string, and the animation company established in cooperation with Zhongxia only had the last step left. After the problem of the most troublesome artist was solved, his future work would only focus on animation and movie creation.
"Will you still hire a new painter?" Alice asked. Since they acquired Dongfangxing, would they not have to recruit other painters from the outside world?
"Yes, of course!" However, Meng Huo said firmly: "Why not to ask... We should not be afraid of too many painters."
After experiencing this lesson, Meng Huo plans to recruit painters for a long time to prevent such a shortage of scenes from happening in the future. With the current development trend of Phoenix Company, no matter how many painters Meng Huo can guarantee to use them.
The high-speed rail is near the station in Ninghai. It is already dark.
Meng Huo originally planned to break up with Alice here, but Alice laughed: "My car is placed nearby, I'll send you back, and by the way, I want to meet Sister Qin too!"
She took Meng Huo out of the station and then found her Porsche in a nearby parking lot. This was placed here for custody by Alice before going to Yanjing. It had been kept for a while.
"Have you driven Su Hua's car?" Alice asked on the way back to Jiayuan Community.
Meng Huo shook his head: "Not yet, there is no time to drive." Shen Jie has been with him, so he dared not drive that car - Alice seemed to have thought of this reason too. Although she was a little disappointed, she didn't say anything next.
Back to Jiayuan Community, Meng Huo's house was very lively, and you could hear the noise inside outside.
"It seems that you have a lot of guests at your house today." Alice said.
But she was also familiar with these guests. As soon as the car stopped, someone found it inside and walked out to open the door. It was Teacher Hua Meng. She was stunned when she saw Alice, and then immediately smiled: "I love to write it up, you are here too!"
Alice has been promoted to the vice president of Phoenix Company, but Hua Meng still has not changed her name.
"She came back from Yanjing with me." Meng Huo said to Hua Meng. Hua Meng quickly asked him ok, and then took them in enthusiastically, shouting to her like a host than Meng Huo: "Teacher He Xi is back!"
After shouting, many people stood up in the room, all of whom Meng Huo was familiar with, as well as a few children. Li Qin also walked out and met Alice. After she smiled and said, "Since you are here, let's have supper together!"
Alice accepted happily. After having a "big pot meal", she stayed for another half an hour and chatted with Li Qin for enough, and then said that she wanted to go home to rest when she was tired.
"I'll pick you up tomorrow morning." She said to Meng Huo before leaving.
"No, I have a driver..." Meng Huo wanted to refuse, but Alice couldn't allow him to refuse, so she set the time on her own: "At 8 o'clock in the morning, I just told Sister Qin that she would let you finish your breakfast before 8 o'clock."
Meng Huo turned to look at Li Qin, and after seeing her nodding, he had to agree.
"Sister Alice, can you take me on the way?"
Wang Yanmeng left in Alice's car. After the two of them left, Teacher Huameng and Mach's wife also took the children home one after another, leaving Meng Huo and his son, Mach, Bamboo and Xi Wenlin.
Among these three people, Mach took the initiative to stay, while Tomato Teacher and Xi Wenlin were the people Meng Huo asked to stay.
"What's wrong with Teacher He Xi leaving us?"
The two of them seemed a little nervous and began to recall whether they had made any mistakes, but the quality of the comics in "Detective Conan" did not decline, and they were still popular in the magazine - there should be no problem.
Seeing their pale face, Meng Huo couldn't help but smile: "You don't have to be so nervous. This time you are leaving you to give you a new job and ask for your opinions."
Tomato and Xi Wenlin were relieved and asked curiously: "What new job?"
"The work of a movie..."
Meng Huo sat down and told them about the theatrical movie "The Magician of the Early Century". In fact, when choosing to make this theatrical version, Meng Huo also considered one thing--the two assistants of "Detective Conan" could also share the pressure on his movie.
In terms of familiarity with "Detective Conan", the two most important people besides Meng Huo are Tomato and Xi Wenlin. They can play an important role in the production of the film, which has been shown in previous animation production.
When "Detective Conan" released an animated version a few years ago, in order to relieve the pressure, Meng Huo asked these two assistants to supervise the production of the animation. It turned out that his choice was right. Now facing a similar situation, he certainly wanted to use the abilities of these two assistants again.
In the work "Detective Conan", they are actually two "reduced versions of He Xi". They have better understanding of the style, details, and their vision of the picture than others. If they are willing to help produce "The Magician of the Early Century", Meng Huo even dares to let go completely with the premise of a detailed script.
Of course he didn't plan to let go completely, but Tomato and the others are indeed very good helpers. They can act as consultants for the directors during Meng Huo's absence, helping them understand the work better and make the film better.
Meng Huo made some estimates in advance. Without Tomato and Xi Wenlin, he might have to spend nearly half of his time in directing directors in Yanjing, which is very difficult. With the participation of the two of them, the directors' mistake rate will be very low, and the movie will not go wrong. It is enough for him to help correct small mistakes every half a month.
"I just don't know if you want to do it..."
After saying everything, Meng Huo looked at the two assistants with his Exploration.
Tomato and Xi Wenlin were shocked by this incident, movies - they never thought they would participate in the production of movies one day.
"I'm willing, of course I do!" Xi Wenlin stood up excitedly: "I'm happy to help. "The Magician of the Early Century"... It's great. Even if I don't have a salary, I want to participate!"
This is the first theatrical version of "Detective Conan". How could he miss it? Moreover, the movie is highly respected in China, and participating in the production of the movie is also the dream of many people. Xi Wenlin is the one who has such a dream.
"So, I do, too!" After Tomato reacted, his face turned red with excitement. He never dreamed that he could help make a movie. Moreover, after the movie "Detective Conan" came out, it can be predicted that it would increase the popularity of the original comics, so that their income would also increase greatly. Why not do it!
"That's good..." Meng Huo felt at ease: "I will hand over the detailed arrangements to you in a few days. You may have worked harder in the past six months, but this hard work is definitely worth it." He let go of his heart and with the help of two assistants, the problem of "The Magician of the Early Century" is not big.
While listening to Mach was very envious. He used to be animated when he was doing animations. Now he saw that "Detective Conan" is going to release a movie again. Mach felt a little anxious: "Teacher He Xi, when will "One Piece" be released? "
Mach now sees that if One Piece launches an animation or movie, he and Wang Yanmeng will benefit.
"One Piece?" Meng Huo was stunned, and then smiled and said, "This is not urgent, it's still early, but there will be that day sooner or later, don't worry..."
He doesn't want to release "One Piece" so quickly. This work is even more powerful than "Detective Conan". It would be better to gather more popularity in the comics stage. Moreover, Meng Huo doesn't want to add a burden to a "long animation" on it for the time being.
The burden of the two long animations now is huge enough. The third long animation will not be released after Phoenix Company expands again. In addition... Meng Huo also plans to use "One Piece" as a killer weapon, and the killer weapon will not be used so simply.
Sometimes he deliberately did not adapt "One Piece" to create a sense of fear and crisis for other companies outside the world. (To be continued...)
