Chapter 950: The Vortex of Choice
"Teacher, I heard you have prepared a new comic?"
"You'll know so soon?"
In the evening, Meng Huo, who had just arrived at the door of the studio, received a call from Ye Xiong. He was a little surprised that the news about "Natsume Friends' Account" was spread so quickly.⊥, but Ye Xiong said that he learned the news from Wang Hui, and others were not aware of it.
"Teacher, are you too biased?" Ye Xiong said: "Why don't you give us that comic? We are the boy comics!"
"Natsume's style is more in line with the girl's comics..."
"No matter what style it is, as long as the protagonist is a boy, he can be placed in "Weekly Boy"!"
Ye Xiong was a little excited. After receiving the news, he had always been very sorry that he could not learn about "Natsume Friends' Account" before Wang Hui, otherwise he would have got it. The classification of comic style may be very important to other cartoonists, but it has a very small impact on He Xi.
As long as it is He Xi's comic, no matter what the style is, "Natsume Friends' Account" can be featured in the Youth Manga Magazine, and the sales will definitely not be bad.
However, at this time, Meng Huo had already handed over "Natsume Friends Account" to Wang Hui, and he didn't plan to get it back. Ye Xiong fought for a long time without results, and finally had to give up. However, he did not gain anything. Meng Huo agreed to prepare the boy comic for the comic.
Although I don’t know when Meng Huo’s next comic will be released, Ye Xiong felt a little better.
After hanging up the phone, Meng Huo pushed open the door of the studio. However, as soon as he opened the door, he saw several women inside scattering from the door and running back to their respective painting tables in a mess. He started painting like "nothing".
"..." Meng Huo walked into the studio with a helpless look on his face. He sat behind his painting table and said, "Don't tell me what happened just now."
The air in the studio slammed, and then the responses of female cartoonists quickly rang out.
"I understand, Teacher He Xi!"
"I won't say much!"
Qin Ya and three female assistants immediately promised that they had just found Meng Huo calling outside the door. They were curious to hide behind the door and heard Meng Huo and Ye Xiong's conversation, so they also learned about the new comics.
The new comic has not been released yet, and it is still a secret now. Of course, Qin Ya and the others know the right way.
But even so, these women still seemed quite curious. At work, they wanted to explore the content and news of "Natsume Friends' Account" from time to time, but they were all simply sent away by Meng Huo.
At 10:30 pm, after the work of "The Legend of the Galaxy Song" was completed, three female assistants bid farewell one after another, while Qin Ya stayed and Meng Huo continued to finish "The Soul of Chess". When there were only two people left, Qin Ya relaxed a lot and asked, "I said, "Teacher, you have opened a new comic again. Could it be that you won't be tired if you succeed?"
She thought Meng Huo would act as stress-free as usual. But unexpectedly, Meng Huo shook his head this time.
"It's still a little bit of pressure." Meng Huo quickly finished drawing the last picture of his subordinates and said, "But the impact of one more book is not very big. Qin Ya, I want to borrow someone from you."
Qin Ya was stunned: "Who?"
"Bai Han."
Meng Huo said the name of an assistant he had just left. From the beginning of meeting, he was quite optimistic about Bai Han's strength. In this serialization of "Natsume Friends Account", it would be much easier if he could bring her to serve as an assistant.
Moreover, the work location coincides with "The Legend of the Galaxy Song" and Bai Han only needs to work one or two more hours in the studio during the day.
"Sure enough, teacher, you have already set your sights on her!" Qin Ya reacted and showed a bitter smile on her face, but she didn't look surprised. Bai Han was her best assistant, and she had long felt that Meng Huo would not let her go.
"But... this matter is really difficult... I don't want to let her go."
Qin Ya looked puzzled. If it were a few months ago, she would definitely agree to Meng Huo. But the situation is different now. After the animation production of "The Legend of Galaxy Song" began, several assistants were also indispensable for help in the animation.
If Bai Han is allowed to serve Meng Huo as the assistant to the new comics, she will have to draw hands from the animation production of "The Legend of the Galaxy Song".
"Why can't it work?" Meng Huo looked at Qin Ya.
Qin Ya frowned slightly, and after looking at Meng Huo's eyes, she quickly glanced open again: "Okay, you won, who told me to owe you!"
Thinking that Meng Huo has helped herself a lot, Qin Ya is really reluctant to refuse. Once she agrees, Bai Han doesn't have to worry about the desire of Phoenix Company. No cartoonist can resist any temptation to cherish her assistant.
In fact, after receiving the news, the female assistant was so excited that she couldn't fall asleep all night. At the same night, when many people were asleep, a girl sat in front of another middle-aged man in a hotel in Yanjing with trepidation.
"...Don't worry, we are responsible for the liquidated damages. After you come to our company, you will definitely not be less than Phoenix." The man is the minister of a well-known entertainment company named Li Sheng. He comforted the girl with calm words.
"Miss Kirishima, our company will prepare you a bigger stage and a more professional team to train you into a first-class star."
Li Sheng took out a stack of documents from his bag and placed them on the table, and then pushed it in front of Kirishima. Kirishima picked up the documents a little nervously. She was very nervous. This was the most nervous one she had after signing up for the voice actor interview that year.
Kirishima is a voice actor affiliated to Phoenix Company. She has been working for two years. Although she is not a super popular voice actor, she has at least gained a certain reputation. Because she often participates in animation dubbing, many people know her when walking on the street.
She opened Li Sheng's document and just looked at two pages, her eyes widened: "This, this is..."
"This is the training plan we have prepared for you." Li Sheng smiled. There was a very detailed training plan in the document. As long as Kirishima agreed to transfer to their company, they would train her, promote her, hold concerts, various activities, and even there were two actors in the document.
Kirishima couldn't help swallowing. Her heart was beating rapidly. She had no idea of changing jobs when she first met this man. But when she saw this detailed plan, Kirishima began to be moved. With such careful consideration, the other party obviously valued him very much.
"Why do you value me so much? I'm just a second-rate voice actor, right?" Kirishima asked after enduring the urge to agree immediately.
"You are not a second-rate voice actor, your talent is just buried!" Li Sheng stood up and said excitedly: "Since your debut, we have been paying attention to you. Your performance on the stage is impressive. You are a talented person. As long as you are professionally trained, you will definitely become an important star."
He skillfully began to convince Kirishima. What Kirishima didn't know was that Li Sheng had already used these words very skillfully, but this did not mean that he really optimistic about Kirishima.
Although he kept praising Kirima, Li Sheng was very dissatisfied. He didn't think Kirima could become a big star at all. In fact, this girl's ability is similar to other third-tier stars. Without Phoenix Company, it would not be much development, and it was not worth their company's plan for her.
The reason why she was valued by the company and the reason why Li Sheng had to visit her in person to express her sincerity was actually just to ensure that she could be successfully excavated from Phoenix Company.
This is a huge "people arrest" operation. Several large-scale star companies joined hands and joined forces with ten small companies, planning to "catch all the voice actors of Phoenix Company in one place" and make that voice actor firm never turn over again.
Due to the bright prospects of Phoenix Company and the price of "catching people" is quite expensive, Li Sheng and the others have to give each voice actor a reward that exceeds their value to convince them, but that doesn't matter, anyway, it's not their company that acts.
Moreover, after the event is successful, the voice actor market will be reshuffled, and the voice actors you poach are not useless. Moreover... those large companies also promised to give them some benefits afterwards.
Kirishima was almost convinced by Li Sheng's sweet words. Such a big man came to see him with such a detailed plan. If he was not talented, why would the other party do this?
"Can I really become a big star?"
The girl thought a little joyfully.
Seeing her heartbeat, Li Sheng continued to say: "Miss Kirishima, please think carefully. You have absolutely no development in Phoenix Company."
"The lineup of Phoenix ding voice actors has been formed. They are pressing on you. You can't go up to the next level. But if you join our company, even if the dubbing cannot beat them, there will be other channels for improvement, and maybe they will become more popular than them!"
In this regard, what Li Sheng said makes sense. Phoenix Company mainly uses dubbing as the upward channel. Voice actors without special dubbing are difficult to become top idols. However, other star companies are more diverse. They can cultivate different stars according to different types. If they can't sing, they can act, and if they can't act, they may have other talents to explore.
"I...I..." Kirishima almost agreed, but just before agreeing, she suddenly hesitated in her heart: "Can I think about it?"
"Of course..." Li Sheng did not refuse, he was sure to win. Years of experience told him that Kirishima has been persuaded now, and it would be bad to force her too much: "Let's do this, you will give me a reply tomorrow, how about it?"
Kirishima nodded. Seeing Li Sheng's tolerant attitude, she felt that she should agree to him.
"After going back, just talk to the agent..." Kirishima thought so when she bid farewell to Li Sheng: "If she was willing to leave with me, maybe Minister Li would agree."
The agent was still in the room, and she made an excuse to secretly come out to meet Li Sheng without telling the agent.
If the agent agrees to change jobs with her, she can leave. However, if the agent does not agree, Kirishima does not intend to give in. Anyway, the liquidated damages will be borne by Li Sheng and the others, and Kirishima is not worried about punishment.
She slowly walked back to her room, took a breath at the door to enhance her courage, and then opened the door.
"Kijima! Where have you been??" As soon as he walked in, the agent walked over with a cold face: "Didn't you tell you not to run around? Why don't you disappear after taking a shower? I don't even notify the bodyguard next door!"
Kirishima shrank his head: "I'm sorry, Sister Li, I just... just want to go out for a walk."
She suddenly felt a little scared to say about changing jobs. This sister Li would be very scary when she got angry for several hours, so she would wait until she calmed down before talking. But what surprised Kirishima was that this time the agent only taught a few lessons and his face quickly calmed down.
"Forget it, maybe I'm too restricting you." The agent suddenly became reasonable and smiled: "By the way, Kirishima, do you want to listen to good news?"
"Good news?" Kirishima was confused: "What news?"
"Our salary has increased!" said the agent with a smile on his face. "Today, a new supervisor came. She ordered the voice actors' compensation and the salary of us agents to be increased, and the amount is not small!"
Kirishima opened his eyes wide in surprise: "Raising the salary?"
"Yes, it's a surprise!" the agent said with a smile: "Guess who this supervisor is? You must have never imagined that I was scared by this person when I first heard the news, and I never thought that she would become our supervisor."
“Yes…who…”
"Shen Jie." The agent reached out and touched Kirishima's head and smiled: "It's Shen Jie from our firm. She was appointed by the deputy general manager as the new supervisor of our firm. She is the same as the ministers and the others. Are you scared?"
"Senior Shen Jie?"
Kirishima was indeed frightened, but while being frightened, she felt her head was in chaos. Why did Shen Jie become the supervisor? Why did she have to get a salary increase? And... can she still change jobs like this?
Suddenly thinking of this, Kirishima became nervous and asked, "Are you going to change the contract after paying a salary increase?"
"Of course." The agent nodded and said, "We will go back tomorrow to change the contract. It is said that the new contract has many new treatment and training plans. If you change it earlier, you can get benefits faster."
"New treatment and training plan?" Kirishima felt strange, why was it a bit similar to the plan that Li Sheng showed her, and it was at this time. Could it be a coincidence?
"Is there anything else?"
"I don't know the others very well, I will only know after I go back." The agent thought for a while and said, "But I heard that the liquidated damages have also increased a lot. Is there any legitimate reason to resign and change jobs and receive some special punishment..."
She smiled: "But it doesn't matter, you won't leave the company anyway."
