Chapter 874: "Dragon and Tiger" animation
The next animation is decided by Sakura Company!
After learning about this from Meng Huo, Eiji Takashima quickly called on senior management and all members of the animation department to discuss. Everyone agreed to vote to decide whether to return "Detective Conan". △↗
The voting result was beyond the expectations of many people. The number of people who supported the return of "Detective Conan" was almost the same as those who supported the new animation, but those who supported the production of the new animation actually won the victory with a very narrow advantage.
As soon as the result came out, the entire conference room was in an uproar.
"I thought "Detective Conan" would definitely win!", "Yes, I think so too! That's why I think it's okay for me to invest in a new animation alone...", "Damn it! It's your thoughts that led to this result!", "Now, "Detective Conan" has to wait again..."
Some of the painters started arguing. Meng Huo, who was sitting in front of the conference room watching the entire voting process, couldn't help laughing. These people were so funny. He thought the result must be "Detective Conan" won, but the result was really shocking.
However, this result was not caused by the negligence of some artists. The victory of the new animation at least means that many people still agree to make new animations - the artists do not seem to be disgusted with making new things.
"Winning three votes, what should I do with this result?" Meng Huo turned around and asked Eiji Takashima. After the voting results came out, he was also surprised. After discussing with other senior management for a long time, it seemed difficult to decide whether to accept the result.
But after Meng Huo asked Takashima Eiji, he thought about it and nodded helplessly: "That's all that is."
All votes have been voted. You can't say you don't count them - and it's not very serious when you look at the quarrels of the artists. Most of the artists are surprised, but accept this result calmly. "Detective Conan" is no longer so important to them.
"Detective Conan" is of course a strong job, but since Meng Huo scolded these painters last time, the mentality of the painters has also changed. They know very well that if they are too proud, even if "Detective Conan" returns, Meng Huo will move it away when he wants it to move it away.
Since this is the case, there is no need for them to stick to this animation. He Xi's other animations are also the best. The popularity of "Mobile Suit Gundam 00" makes the artists feel very accomplished. This animation proves that they don't have to stick to the popular "Detective Conan", and other animations can be done well.
Now that there is another new work, they are not afraid, but they are a little fresh. In less than half an hour, everyone accepted this fact. After the meeting ended, Eiji Takashima asked which new animation Meng Huo wanted to make.
The decision to temporarily change the animation was not made by Meng Huo, so the decision-making power of this animation was not entirely determined by Meng Huo. He himself wanted to produce some brand new works, but Phoenix Company was eager to animate the comics he saved.
Meng Huo compromised on the decision of this animation, and he promised to choose the previous comics for adaptation.
"It's not certain now. But it should be "Dragon and Tiger." He answered Takashima Hideji's inquiry.
Eiji Takashima was surprised: "Dragon and Tiger"? The adaptation of this comic is very difficult..."
"Dragon and Tiger" is a comic with a dual-leading perspective and is called the most difficult comic. In contrast, it is difficult to adapt it into an animation as if it is taking a balanced path - if it is too biased towards the male or female protagonist, comic readers will not like it.
"Yes, I'm really worried about giving it to you." Meng Huo smiled bitterly. This time he felt like he was self-inflicted. If he hadn't had a sudden change of technique, the animation would have been much less difficult now.
"But don't worry, I'll send...uh? That's..." Meng Huo suddenly stopped halfway and looked outside in surprise. Takashima Eiji looked at him in his sight. There was a building that was being renovated. The surface of this building looked normal, but the words on the surface of the building were not simple.
"You just noticed, President?" Eiji Takashima smiled: "That is the office of the voice actor firm, and it has been renovated for more than half a month."
Meng Huo was stunned. He did not pay attention when he came by the car. The five big words "Phoenix Firm" were engraved on the surface of the building. It turned out to be the new office of the voice actor firm. It was said to be the office or not enough. It should be precise. This is the branch of the voice actor firm in the mobile area.
"When the decoration is over there, it will be easier for our company's voice actors to start business in Jidong." Takashima Eiji looked at the building and sighed. This building is a key link in Phoenix's move towards groupization.
Just this year, Phoenix Company will independently establish subsidiaries and transform into a large group.
The businesses that have been decided to divide are voice actors and peripheral businesses. In terms of voice actors, the subsidiary that Phoenix Company will establish is called "Phoenix Firm". This firm will be a separate company, establishing branches on Manga Island, Ninghai City and Tokyo, responsible for all voice actors' affairs. In addition to the headquarters of Phoenix Company, voice actors will also actively expand their business outward and carry out business cooperation with other animation companies.
In the surrounding areas, Phoenix Company will establish an animation industry company to build a research and development, sales, commercial activities, enterprise alliances, etc. of various animation derivatives of Phoenix Company, a company with unlimited potential. It is the largest and most profitable company in the future. All commercial activities of Manga Island are also within its jurisdiction.
The management of these two independent companies has basically not changed, but the business will expand a lot this year. The top executive of the two companies is the general manager. If there is no accident, it should be Zhou Qian and the others. But above these two women, there is also a group vice president who manages them - it is obvious that she is Alice.
Whether it is voice actors or peripherals, the benefits of these two businesses are amazing. Alice is responsible for everyone. However, in addition to these two businesses, there are also comics and animation businesses.
First of all, the comic business, including comic weekly and cartoonist training. This is the most traditional and top-notch business of Phoenix Company. It is combined with the group headquarters. Although it is nominally independent, there will be no new construction.
The same is true for the animation business. Animation and comics stay in the same building, which should not change for a long time in the future. Both have traditional office locations in three areas, so although a new company has been established, the location will not change.
Because of its small scale, the film company has not been divided at this stage, but has been combined with the animation business and belongs to the same subsidiary. The same is true for the game production department. It will still exist as a department in the head office until one day Meng Huo changes his mind.
In fact, in addition to voice actors and peripherals, there is also a person in charge of all business businesses, namely Meng Huo.
Of course, each business has its own manager, but the most important part is undoubtedly Meng Huo. He said the same thing about these businesses, and even Xu Jing could not refuse. In fact, the combined benefits of these businesses are not as good as voice actors and peripherals, but they are the core business of Phoenix Company. Without them, voice actors and peripheral industries would have to be ruined.
Especially for comics, its revenue is the smallest at present, but it is the source of everything. Cartoonists and comic works determine the future of Phoenix. Although the current Phoenix can only rely on Meng Huo alone, ten years later, twenty years later - when Meng Huo does not plan to launch a new work one day, Phoenix will have to rely on these cartoonists.
In fact, this is what Meng Huo has always wished. He gave cartoonists the best treatment and wanted to cultivate a large number of excellent cartoonists. These cartoonists may still be very weak now, but ten years later, Meng Huo believes that many cartoonists' works will surpass him.
Ten years later, the comics industry will definitely be a golden era, with geniuses and masterpieces emerging one after another - and in order to guide this future, Meng Huo has been working hard for many years and must continue to persevere in the future.
Looking at the building opposite, Meng Huo thought a lot. The completion of this new voice actor building means that Phoenix has entered a new stage. This year is a crucial year and will also be a year for them to make great strides.
After staying for a while, Meng Huo retracted his sight.
He continued to walk towards the office, and Eiji Takashima followed him, fearing that he would forget what he said just now: "President, you just said to me not worry, who do you want to send to help produce "Dragon and Tiger"?"
Meng Huo remembered what he said just now and nodded, "I will send two assistants here. They know very well what the animation of "Dragon and Tiger" needs."
He has already handed over the skills of the comic "Dragon and Tiger" to Ning Hai's two female assistants. They are very excellent assistants, and in many aspects it is even more outstanding than the combination of Tomato and Xi Wenlin. Since those two men can help produce "Detective Conan" and "The Magician of the Early Century", the two female assistants should not supervise the production of "Dragon and Tiger".
"There is another director who will come." Meng Huo then added.
"Director? Isn't the president responsible for "Dragon and Tiger"?"
"Of course I will be responsible." Meng Huo laughed: "But that director is also very good, just give her the main job."
