Chapter 915: Before the Carnival

readx;      After the out-of-print news was announced, Phoenix Company immediately attracted overwhelming media reports and interviews. [ads: This site has changed its website, shorthand method:,]

For two consecutive days, reporters surrounded the entrances of three cities of Phoenix Company, and animation fans everywhere were even more shocked - whether it was the Internet or real life, there were hot discussions everywhere.

"The Wine of Eternal Life is about to be out of print-!"

"I can't go home this summer vacation!!"

Suhua University Town ushered in summer vacation, but stimulated by the sudden news, many college students changed their minds of going home. In Liu Yi's dormitory, even roommates who were not fans of animation decided to stay.

"Why?" Liu Yi was surprised. He still had to prepare for the carnival on Comic Island this year. Phoenix's carnival has been determined as the summer vacation every year. Although a large number of temporary workers will be recruited during the carnival, these temporary workers are mainly from last year.

Several roommates in the dormitory did not work last year, and only one of them got the opportunity this year under the leadership of Liu Yi. The others were originally planning to go home, but why did they suddenly change their minds?

"Didn't you ask me knowingly? You can't take all good things..." The oldest boss in the dormitory raised his eyebrows to Liu Yi and said, "Although we don't understand comics, it's also seen that you have been in this industry for two years. This time "The Wine of Immortality" is out of print, and even fools can see the opportunity!"

Although they are not comic fans, as Liu Yi's roommates, they have long discovered that He Xi's things have many business opportunities. Especially this unprecedented out-of-print animation, "Wine of Immortality" will be sold to the public during the carnival, so of course you should cherish the opportunity.

"You are going to resell?" Liu Yi said in surprise.

"Of course, you will have to rely on you two at that time..." The boss patted Liu Yi and his roommate who was going to work in Manga Island, and laughed: "Don't act like we don't know. Now the first batch of "Wine of Immortality" BDs are priced above 2,000 Chinese coins, and they are priced out of stock - it's really profitable!"

In fact, the bd of "Wine of Immortality" has been sold since it was sold out and the price has increased. Then after Phoenix announced that it was out of print, these prices soared. Not only did it rise to 2,000, others refused to sell it.

This is still a 700 suit, and the luxury version with the original price of 1,000 has increased to four times.

"Wine of Immortality" has two steps to go before it is out of print. One of them is the second batch of online reservations and telephone reservations. The time has not yet been decided. However, what anyone can see clearly is that according to the current trend, the new batch of reservations will definitely be snatched if they are released, and it is difficult for ordinary people to grab them.

The chance of purchasing online is small, and the only chance left is this carnival. In order to make up for the impact of the announcement of out-of-print, Phoenix Company promised to sell bds on Comic Island every morning during the carnival and to distribute it as prizes for some events.

This is the best and the last chance. Nowadays, fans and dealers from all over the world are ready to go. If you can buy "Wine of Immortality", even if you don't collect it yourself, the lowest price difference will be twice!

"Resell one, we can eat and drink for nothing throughout the summer vacation... Why not do such a good thing? Liu Yi, you two have to help us. If you have the opportunity to get the goods, you can't just take it alone!"

Other roommates asked Liu Yi.

Liu Yi was a little embarrassed: "I don't know if there is any chance, and... the dormitory will be closed in a few days. Where are you going to live?"

"Where to live?" The boss was stunned: "Aren't there some small hotels around the school? I heard that they would rent them to students for a long time during the summer vacation, which is only two or three hundred a month. We rent one for a few people, and each person is enough."

"The news you heard was two years ago..." Liu Yi was speechless: "Since last year, those hotels have not been rented out like this."

Before Phoenix Company moved here, Suhua University Town was empty every summer vacation and few people were traveling. At that time, hotels were naturally rented out in a cheap price, and many of them even closed down. However, this situation completely changed since last year's carnival.

Last year, Phoenix's carnival was held during the summer season, and the prices of all hotels during the carnival increased several times. And there are people who come here rarely. They will stay on Manga Island for a long time, and the monthly rent of a hotel is over 1,000.

"I think I'd better forget it..." Liu Yi sighed: "I guess you can't book a room now." It's only more than half a month since Carnival, and the hotels in Manga Island and surrounding areas sold out tickets early. It's not easy to find a place to stay.

"No!" The boss didn't believe in evil, but he went out to see it that afternoon. Sure enough, the hotels around the school had all booked all the rooms during the Carnival days.

"Damn, Liu Yi, why didn't you tell us in advance!" The boss regretted it. If he had known this, he would have made a profit by deciding the house first and then handing it over to others: "Damn it, I realized that there are business opportunities everywhere in Phoenix Company!"

He gritted his teeth and said, "That's right, both Manga Island and He Xi are everywhere. There are business opportunities everywhere. Liu Yi has also found opportunities to make some fractions in recent years.

But he is not awesome yet. He even knew that there was a student organization called the "He Xi Alliance" in Suhua University Town. This organization is composed of some smart students from various schools, specifically looking for business opportunities for comic islands and He Xi.

These talents are so amazing. It is said that the monthly income of core members is comparable to that of white-collar workers, and they are closely related to some of He Xi’s fan groups, which almost cut off all business opportunities.

So Liu Yi is not optimistic about his roommates' plan this time. If "Wine of Immortality" is such a big-name thing, the "Hexi Alliance" will definitely do everything possible to reap resources. At most, the roommates will only sell one or two copies, and it is absolutely impossible to have a big deal.

"I think you'd better not to go to this muddy water. It would be great to go home." Liu Yi advised: "And when the carnival comes, you can't imagine how many people there will be in Manga Island."

Last year's Manga Island was crowded with people for several days, and it was troublesome to walk around. This year, there will be more people - not only because of "Wine of Immortality", but actually considering that you may not be able to buy "Wine of Immortality" when you come to the scene, it should not attract too many people.

However, there is another problem. "The Rebellious Lelouch". This animation happened to be completed on the week of the Carnival. Many people plan to witness the incident at the Carnival. It is said that He Xi will also appear to celebrate the completion of the animation.

The popularity of "The Rebellious Lelouch" is not overwhelming. This animation, which started last year, has skyrocketed this year and is known as the fourth most popular work in China! "The Wine of Immortality" is sold at the Carnival. In addition, there is a stage dialogue between the production team and fans, but "The Rebellious Lelouch" - Carnival has a series of activities prepared for it.

It is the super vip of this carnival. In addition, it will also release the succession animation of "Rebellious Lelouch" and "Wine of Life", as well as the new text adventure game, which will also attract a lot of people.

“This year’s carnival is absolutely terrifying!”

Just imagine the abortion of the Carnival. Liu Yi felt his legs were weak. Last year's Carnival's work made him sore hands and feet for several consecutive days. I'm afraid that this year's hard work will be even higher. Fortunately, he is not the person responsible for order.

"I don't think I can miss it when you say this." However, when Liu Yi persuaded me, the boss became interested, and other roommates were also very interested: "It seems good!", "I have never participated in such a lively event!", "It is said that there are concerts, annual voice actors gathering!"

Liu Yi was shocked: "You really plan to stay?"

"Of course!" Several roommates spoke in unison.

"But haven't you found a place to live?"

Liu Yi said strangely, but when he heard this, his roommates laughed: "We have found a cheaper way."

“What method?”

"Camping." The boss explained enthusiastically: "When we went to ask the hotel in the afternoon, we heard about Carnival. There are many areas in the University Town that are open for tourists to camp. You must not know this, right?"

Liu Yi shook his head. He really didn't know about this. In fact, there was no choice in the university town. During the carnival last year, some tourists who did not successfully order hotels simply set up tents in the university town. Many thefts occurred - and some people sued the university town in court.

This year's carnival has a larger number of tourists. The University Town initially asked for a ban on camping, but the management soon realized that they could not control the movement of all tourists. The University Town Island is vast and tourists can camp everywhere. The management team cannot arrange personnel to disperse tourists at all locations.

Since it is unavoidable, I have to choose to accept it. So this year, several campsites have been opened in the university town, and each person charges a management fee. Visitors can camp in these camps.

"There are tents for rent next to the school. It will be interesting to rent tents and camp with those tourists. I have never had any experience in camping in the wild. I must try this time!" The boss clenched his fists: "And some girls in the school will also go camping!"

"This is your purpose..." Liu Yi thought. Although he was surprised, this kind of outdoor camping activity was indeed very attractive. The management of the university town should also do his best to do a good job in security, and there should be no problems.

"There's one more thing." The boss paused and smiled, "There was a meteor shower during the carnival, which was simply a natural opportunity to camp!"

Liu Yi knew about this. It is said to be a spectacular meteor shower that happened once in 50 years, lasting for half an evening. Su Hua’s geographical location is very suitable for viewing. If there is no special weather such as rain, this meteor shower will also become the most memorable event for this carnival.

Manga Island has also prepared a special event to watch the meteor shower...

"I wonder if Meng Huo and Shen Jie will watch with us then." Liu Yi couldn't help but think that he had made an appointment with Liu Yun, Han Xuan and Li Yu to watch the meteor shower together, but whether Meng Huo and Shen Jie are free and whether they will come is a question.

Liu Yun had already sent an invitation, but neither of them had a positive reply. They were very busy at the carnival, and Liu Yi felt that most of them would not come.

"Even if they want to watch the meteor shower, they will accompany the rest of the company..." Liu Yi thought so. The employees of Phoenix Company will definitely watch the meteor shower together. Meng Huo and Shen Jie are unlikely to come out to accompany them.

He felt a little disappointed, but then he gave up this idea and looked at the boss's excited face, knowing that it was no longer realistic to stop these roommates from staying.

"Okay, if you must stay, I will try my best to buy "Wine of Immortality" for you." Liu Yi said this, but he still didn't dare to make a promise. In fact, he didn't know the sales plan of "Wine of Immortality".

On the same day, Meng Huo left Manga Island for the first time after returning to Su Hua, and Chen Jie came to pick him up.

"I didn't expect them to be so stubborn." Sitting on the high-speed train heading to Ninghai, Meng Huo sighed: "Even Alice can't convince them, do I really have a way?"

"Your words should be fine..." Chen Jie smiled and said, "Although Zhongxia Company doesn't say it on the surface, they only respect you in Phoenix Company. If you talk to them over and you can satisfy their face, they might agree."

Meng Huo left Su Hua to persuade Zhongxia Company to participate in the carnival. Of course, this does not mean inviting Zhongxia as a guest, but let Zhongxia Company launch an event at the carnival on Comic Island - just like Phoenix Company.

Since last year, Meng Huo's ideas have changed a little. He began to try to accept Zhongxia. In addition, if Manga Island wants to become a real manga holy place, it cannot be composed of Phoenix Company forever.

This carnival is an opportunity. Meng Huo wants to let Zhongxia enter and attract more small animation companies in the future to turn comic island into a real "comic island".

However, this invitation is not easy. Zhongxia Company will regard entering Manhua Island as a surrender to Phoenix Company - in fact, it is almost the same. As long as Manhua Island belongs to Phoenix Company, Zhongxia Company will not change as a guest.

So although Phoenix Company issued an invitation two months ago, Zhongxia never agreed. Alice had no choice but to let Meng Huo leave to convince them. Of course, Meng Huo could choose to go or not. He ignored Zhong Xia Company, but after thinking about it, he still set off.

"Even if it's just a small booth..." He thought so. Even if Zhongxia Company just sets up a small booth on Manga Island, it can have an inducement impact on other small businesses and will be of great benefit to the diversified development of Manga Island in the future.

In fact, 70% of the available resources in Manga Island are not used, and half of them have not been developed yet. This place, several times larger than Akihabara, can accommodate more comic companies and events. Phoenix Company can not digest it at present. (To be continued.)
