Chapter 947: Test of Loyalty

Xia Chuan was standing at the gate of a welfare home, staring blankly at the gate.

“Is this where I perform today?”

She turned around and asked, the staff behind her were moving various instruments from the truck. Ryoko Natsukawa was supervising them. After hearing her daughter's question, she replied with a smile: "Yes, I'm going to perform charity here today."

Charity performances are performances that do not charge any fees. Although this is not the first time that Xia Chuan has charity performances, she is a big star. In the past, even charity performances would be arranged on a large stage. She has hardly been to such a small place in recent years.

"Why is this?" Xia Chuan was a little confused.

"This is the company's arrangement." Xia Chuan Ryoko smiled and said, "This welfare home is funded by Teacher He Xi. I think it's better to let you come to such places occasionally."

"Brother's support?" Xia Chuan was shocked: "But isn't this Tokyo?"

She had heard a long time ago that Meng Huo had established a charity fund that specializes in funding various youth welfare homes and poor places. However, the fund was not long before it was established, so how could it expand to Tokyo so quickly?

Ryoko Xia Chuan smiled and explained to her daughter that after several years of development, Meng Huo's charity fund can no longer be said to be his personal fund. He Xi's actions have led to the cooperation of many cartoonists, including animation companies. The fund has now become a special fund shared by the comics industry.

Due to the expansion of the source of funds, the development speed of funds has been growing. Tokyo is not a remote city. In addition, the comic atmosphere here is strong, so the welfare home here will naturally be supported.

However, after listening to his mother's explanation, Xia Chuan was still in a state of disbelief: "Why do you want to help Teacher He Xi?"

"Not to help." Ryoko Nakachuan replied: "At the beginning, Teacher He Xi led the donations from the cartoonists in our company to take care of these cartoonists. After obtaining Teacher He Xi's consent, Miss Alice changed the nature of the fund."

When this charity fund was still dominated by Hexi, the cartoonists and companies of other companies would not be interested. But Alice slowly left it alone in the past two years and established a separate company. It was positioned as a company used by the entire comics industry to support charity, and that was different.

In fact, the current shareholding structure of this fund is no longer the only one, but has been divided into many shares. Even Zhongxia Company has invested a lot, and it has become a charity company commonly recognized by the comics industry.

Of course, the reason why everyone is enthusiastic is also related to the company's business. Although it is claimed to be a charity, nearly half of the aid of this charity company is focused on cultivating new cartoonists and painters.

The booming development of Chinese comics has led to a serious shortage of painters in the entire industry. The transformation speed of higher education schools is still one step slower. In order to cope with larger demands in the future, charity companies provide comprehensive comic training to many children with physical incomplete or poor, so that they can at least become painters after they come out.

In fact, the entire comics industry has been seeking such a channel. He Xi’s charity fund has just relieved his thirst. Many companies have trained artists in different places through this fund, and now they have begun to show results.

"The children of this welfare home may become the painter of our company in a few years." Natsuchuan Ryoko smiled and said, "I heard that some people have been trained to work in the company now."

The demand for painters in various departments of Phoenix Company, whether it is animation, comics, games, publicity or other related industries, is quite high. Meng Huo has already taken a step ahead of other companies and has now obtained new painters that have been trained two years ago.

Xia Chuan had never considered this at all, but in fact she often saw the shortage of artists. Take her performance as an example. As an animation voice actor, she always needs some animation-related posters and venue layouts every time she performs. These should have been handed over to her own team, but there are few painters in her team, so she has to carry those things from the company thousands of miles before each performance.

Phoenix Company has a special department to prepare performance posters for these voice actors. It is said that the number of people in this department is as high as 200, but in order to support so many voice actors to perform, they have to work more than ten hours a day.

The needs of painters are not limited to comics and animations. All activities and enterprises related to these two require a large number of painters, which is the reason for the emergence of the "painter shortage".

But even so, Xia Chuan was very worried: "Is it okay for brother to do this? Isn't this restricting others' choices? Will it be questioned..."

"What are the doubts about this?" Nakachuan Ryoko shook her head: "Not every child must become a painter. They can choose whether to accept it themselves, but there are still quite a few people who accept it."

In her opinion, the so-called charity is not support without reason. It would be great if the charity company established by Meng Huo could use half of its funds to support poverty alleviation, and the remaining half was not wrong at all for cultivating talents.

He did not deprive others of the right to choose, but gave others an additional right to choose, and those children could choose to accept and not accept. Accepting would have the opportunity to gain a skill, and if they did not accept it, they would not lose anything.

"But do we need so many painters?" Xia Chuan said in a puzzled manner: "What if... there are too many painters in the future?"

This is not impossible. There may be a shortage of painters now, but the comic education in China is also popularizing. Perhaps in another five or six years, six or seven years, when the comic industry stabilizes, painters will be saturated.

If too many painters are trained and Phoenix Company cannot absorb them, isn’t this harmful?

Xia Chuan Ryoko patted her daughter's fuss: "You can think of this if you worry about anything, are you still afraid that Teacher He Xi will not think of it?"

"If the painter's needs are almost met, the fund will become a real charitable fund." She smiled. Although one of the main purposes of the fund now is to cultivate painters, as long as there are enough painters, this purpose will naturally not exist.

At that time, the funds used to train painters will be placed to support these children in learning other work skills, just like ordinary charitable funds. However, at this stage, it is meaningless to think about these things.

"Okay. Let's go, go in!"

Ryoko Xia Chuan turned around and saw that the instruments needed for singing were almost all moved, so she took her daughter's hand and walked towards the welfare home. In fact, their performance was not only a charity performance, but also to give the outside world a message: there is no problem with Xia Chuan's relationship with Phoenix Company.

There are many real rumors about Xia Chuan recently, and there are even many people saying that she will terminate the contract with Phoenix Company. Even the people at home have heard of it, which makes Xia Chuan Ryoko a little alert.

"Who is making a fool of himself?" She thought so. She didn't have the idea of ​​letting her daughter change jobs. Her real achievements are already very satisfying. She doesn't want to see the real one leaving Phoenix Company, even if... that can make her a big star that everyone is sought after.

Big Star. Now Xia Chuan is already a big star in terms of popularity, but her status is still not generally recognized.

This is because she is not a star in the traditional sense. Nearly half of Xia Chuan's real popularity is obtained from animation dubbing, and her stage performance only accounts for half. Many singers say that she is not a real singer, and many artists do not recognize her status.

The real big star in China is not a singer, but an actor, and the status of an actor is even more noble than that of a singer. There is a saying in the entertainment industry that top stars are a combination of actors and singers, second-rate ones are popular actors, while popular singers are only third-rate ones.

Xia Chuan's real popularity is comparable to that of a top-notch singer, but she is not recognized as a real singer. Many people say that her popularity is entirely based on automatic and animated songs, not herself. Therefore, she is regarded as a nouveau riche in the entertainment industry, in fact, it is not just her, but Shen Jie and Long Xue and others are the same.

"Voice actors are a new industry after all. If you want to gain recognition, it is still unlikely in just a few years..." Alice sighed on the phone. It was Meng Huo who called her. He told Alice about the truth about Xia Chuan's true rumors, and then aroused her feelings.

Voice actors are just like comics. However, the rise of this industry is shorter than that of comics, so the status of voice actors has not yet reached the eyes of many celebrity experts.

This status quo cannot be changed immediately, and can only be proved by time, just like comics. The speed at which these two industries are accepted by the world has actually shocked other industries, and their popularity has increased. It is not a problem to enter the Great Hall in a few years.

The problem is now...

"I also thought before that someone would poach when he became a voice actor, but I didn't expect it to be so fast." Alice said. Xia Chuan was really facing poaching. Although it was just a prelude, she could guess the subsequent development.

The person who is really interested in Xiachuan this time is not a separate company, but what surprised Meng Huo was that there were at least three companies that spread rumors, and these three companies were among the top three of the Chinese star companies.

If three companies do one thing at the same time, things will not be simple.

"They definitely think that they can cultivate the truth into super stars!" Alice said: "It's the kind of superstar who can make the whole country excited, which is more crazy than any star now."

Meng Huo didn't think of this: "Can it be done?"

"Yes." Alice did not hesitate at all: "There are two people in this world that can do it. Their popularity has reached the standard of first-line stars. In addition, they do not have the characteristics of other stars, and their personal qualities are excellent and their image is quite good."

"Shen Jie...real?"

Meng Huo seemed to have guessed these two people.

"right."

Alice nodded. The two super popular voice actors she and Meng Huo have cultivated have actually made history. Because He Xi has long been the standard for voice actors to be "clean" and voice actors are a group of "clean" stars in the hearts of fans.

The trait of "cleanness" is quite difficult to find in the entertainment industry. Although celebrity companies always try to say how clean their artists are, the various impressions accumulated over the years have actually stopped people from truly believing in the character of celebrities.

But voice actors are exceptions. They have emerged in a short period of time and are incompatible with the entertainment industry and can always bring good impressions to fans.

Among them, Chen Jie and Xia Chuan Zhen are representatives. They are super popular and have excellent qualities. If they can poach further cultivation and shaping, they will have a chance to create super stars that are popular all over the country.

"Maybe it was because Chen Jie transformed that they looked at Xia Chuan Zhen." Alice explained, but what made Meng Huo a little puzzled was: "Where is Long Xue? Why is it true?"

"Long Xue can't do it."

Alice shook her head. The two most valuable voice actors of Phoenix Company are Xia Chuan Zhen and Shen Jie, because they have outstanding characteristics and are young enough. Long Xue is a little older, and the room for cultivation and rise has become smaller, but Xia Chuan Zhen and Shen Jie are full of possibilities.

Two such young women have such a huge popularity now, so what will happen in the future?

Of course, what Alice didn't say explicitly is Meng Huo. He is the real super popular star. If he gave up being a cartoonist, no matter how high the price, there would be someone who would compete for it. That would obviously be impossible.

Therefore, she did not mention this matter, but just told Meng Huo that this matter would not end with Xia Chuan Zhen.

"Since the truth has been noticed, and the three companies are tampering with each other... Then in the near future, other voice actors should encounter similar situations." Alice said: "We must be prepared and we can't let the job change happen again."

The job-changing incident of male voice actors made Phoenix seem very passive and learned from their mistakes. Alice didn't want the same thing to happen.

Meng Huo frowned: "We have improved a lot of treatment in recent years and added restrictions. They will not change jobs easily, right?"

"That might be..." Alice disagreed with Meng Huo's words: "Whether to change jobs or not depends on whether the conditions proposed by the other party are attractive. Suppose someone pays a medium voice actor in the company to participate in the main role performance of a popular TV series... I think he is likely to jump away."

She was just giving an example, but this is a very likely thing. The top three companies in China have made up their minds to Xia Chuan at the same time, which proves that more than one person is targeting voice actors now. They may want to dig out all the mainstays of voice actors, and their conditions are definitely much better than those when male voice actors changed jobs back then.

If you leave Phoenix Company, you can transform into an actor and singer, enjoy better rewards, and your voice actor career can continue to continue. Many people will be moved.

This is the time to test voice actors’ loyalty to Phoenix. (To be continued)
