Chapter 883: Dinner
However, Chen Jie did not agree to Alice's proposal.
She left Ninghai after the concert, and Alice could only contact her by phone. The two of them didn't seem to have a good chat. But to Meng Huo's surprise, Alice attached great importance to this matter. In order to convince Chen Jie, she gave up the long-term escape and went to talk to her.
Meng Huo was a little worried about whether the two would have a conflict, but now he could only believe Alice. And it was at this time that the animation of "Mobile Suit Gundam 00" was broadcasted in the last episode, and Meng Huo had several celebrations to attend.
In the Far East, Sakura Company held a large dinner to celebrate the end of the animation. In addition to the production team members of "Mobile Suit Gundam 00", representatives and reporters from many TV stations were also invited to attend. Meng Huo and Bai Yan also appeared at such a dinner for the first time.
Of course, this is not only the ending dinner for "Mobile Suit Gundam 00", but also the stage for announcing some news about the subsequent successor "Dragon and Tiger".
"This is Director Sasaki of Tokyo TV." Meng Huo introduced Sasaki to Bai Yan, but both of them couldn't help but laugh.
"Teacher He Xi, you don't need to introduce me. Director Bai and I have an old friendship." Sasaki stretched out his hand to Bai Yan and said with a smile: "Director Bai, I was really scared when I heard that you left the Star Dream before. I didn't expect you to join Phoenix Company."
"I'm not the only one who joins." Bai Yan smiled and shook hands with Sasaki: "However, please support me more in the future."
She learned from Meng Huo that Phoenix Company had a hidden rule with the TV station when making animations. The animation produced by Sakura Company will premiere on Tokyo TV, while the animation of Manga Island is premiered by Su Hua TV. Therefore, the largest partner of the animation "Dragon and Tiger" is Tokyo TV.
"Where? I want to ask Director Bai for more support." Sasaki was very modest. Animation has become a pillar of Tokyo TV. As one of the future directors of Phoenix Animation, he naturally had to have a good relationship with Bai Yan.
"But then again, is Director Shiraki fully responsible for the production of "Dragon and Tiger" this time?" Sasaki hesitated a little and then said, "If you offend me, please don't mind, but Director Shiraki has not been exposed to animation for a long time, right?"
Because the two knew each other, Sasaki knew that Bai Yan had a bad temper. He had concerns about this and didn't mind saying it out loud.
"I'm mainly responsible. Although it's the first time, you can trust me more." Bai Yan laughed. She had been studying with Meng Huo for several months, and she is a professional director herself, so she is still very confident in producing "Dragon and Tiger".
"And I also have the cartoonist of "Dragon and Tiger"."
"cartoonist?"
"She refers to the two cartoonist assistants who painted "Dragon and Tiger". "Meng Huo interjected: "They all say experienced cartoonists. Previously, "They were the two of them in charge of "The Male Public Relations Department of Yinglan College". Now, the current comic series of "Dragon and Tiger" is basically responsible."
As soon as he said this, Sasaki immediately felt relieved.
"So that's the case. Since such an outstanding person is helping me, I'm just worried." He smiled and toasted Meng Huo and Bai Yan, then looked at Meng Huo and asked, "After that, I care about one thing very much. Teacher He Xi, you shouldn't mean to move "Detective Conan" away?"
"Dragon and Tiger" is a very popular comic, and its animation will inevitably be a great success. However, even so, its weight is still not comparable to "Detective Conan". Meng Huo has delayed the production time of "Detective Conan" twice in a row, which makes Sasaki quite worried.
Meng Huo shook his head and smiled, "Of course not, I promise it will come back this year."
Sasaki's worries disappeared immediately. He talked to Meng Huo about the topic of the Phoenix Carnival broadcast a few months later, and then satisfiedly gave the opportunity to talk to Meng Huo to other reporters.
Bai Yan has been following Meng Huo. In fact, the protagonist of the dinner was Meng Huo on the surface, but it was Bai Yan in secret. Taking advantage of this opportunity, Meng Huo officially introduced Bai Yan to various media in the comics industry, which can also be said to be Bai Yan's debut show in the comics industry.
On the second day, in addition to the completion report of "Mobile Suit Gundam 00", news that Bai Yan served as the director of "Dragon and Tiger" was also rumored.
Although Phoenix Company did not conceal this news before, there were not many animation fans in society. This time, through contact with many media, reports about Bai Yan suddenly increased. As a famous director with rich experience, Bai Yan's transformation has been recognized by many animation fans.
However, many people question whether Bai Yan's rapid transformation can produce the animation of "Dragon and Tiger", especially the comic fans of "Dragon and Tiger", and many people complained to Phoenix Company by phone.
"Why didn't Teacher He Xi produce "Dragon and Tiger"? In the past, he made animations, so why did he get biased when he encountered "Dragon and Tiger"?" "It is obvious that animations like "The Wine of Eternal Life" were produced by Teacher He Xi himself. Can "Dragon and Tiger" be an exception?" "We don't want so-called famous directors, we want Teacher He Xi!"
The level of this complaint was beyond Meng Huo's expectations. Some fans even made more extreme actions to protest this matter and affected the original comics - such as tearing up the serialized weekly magazine of "Dragon and Tiger", and even malicious negative reviews.
In order to appease these readers, Meng Huo had to publish a short statement in comic weekly, saying that although the animation "Dragon and Tiger" was produced by Bai Yan, he would strictly check and would never destroy the classics of the original comics.
After such a statement, the fans' complaints gradually subsided, but after experiencing this incident, Bai Yan felt the pressure of **.
"I didn't expect "Dragon and Tiger" to be so popular." She hasn't had such pressure for many years. If the movie is given her name, it would be a symbol of quality - how could the animation be produced by the audience not believe.
However, the pressure is the pressure. With these pressures, Bai Yan's enthusiasm in her heart burned wildly.
"I don't have this kind of struggle anymore. I will definitely do a good job in the animation of "Dragon and Tiger"... Teacher He Xi, don't blame me for snatching away your animation audience in the future!"
Her confidence is stronger than Meng Huo. (To be continued, please search for Astronomy, novels are better, updated and faster!
