Chapter nine hundred and seventy-six: eye-burning Shana

Two days later, a white car drove away from the airport in Tokyo. (.)

"Miss Lu, what are you looking at?" Lu Yanqiu sat in the car, looking out the window with curiosity, and his actions attracted Bai Yan's attention: "Is this your first time in Tokyo?"

"Ah, yes..." Lu Yanqiu was startled and turned around and said, "I have never been here before, and it feels quite fresh."

Bai Yan couldn't help but smile and said, "Actually, if you stay for a few days, you will find that Tokyo is the same special place as other cities in some attractions and you can't see it on the streets. I will take you to have a walk when I have time."

"Thank you... Director Bai, you seem to know Tokyo very well." Lu Yanqiu said curiously. When she found that the person who came to greet her at the airport was Bai Yan. As a well-known Chinese director, she certainly knew Bai Yan and knew that Bai Yan was not from the extreme east.

But from the conversation, Lu Yanqiu saw that Bai Yan was quite familiar with Tokyo.

"I used to come to this city to make movies." Bai Yan smiled and said, "A person like me who has been a director for decades has basically visited the main areas of China, and there is no big city I don't know yet."

Lu Yanqiu understood: "So that's how it is."

"Speaking of it..." Bai Yan looked at Lu Yanqiu and asked, "Has Teacher He Xi told you about the new animation?"

It was because she wanted to know about this that she came to the airport to greet her in person.

"New animation?" But Lu Yanqiu looked puzzled: "No, the teacher didn't tell me about this."

"Then what did he ask you to come here and do?"

"Before he said, Teacher He Xi asked me to wait here first. He seemed to ask me to write a script... But what exactly it was, he would have to wait for him to see the situation in two days before talking about it." Lu Yanqiu replied.

"That's right." Bai Yan's eyes lit up. Lu Yanqiu came over and must have helped the animation. "Detective Conan" doesn't need her, so she can only be used for herself.

She knew that Lu Yanqiu was one of the team writers responsible for adapting He Xi's works into novels, and there were more than a dozen people in the team. He Xi just found Lu Yanqiu Baiyan to guess that the "new animation" she was about to obtain must be Lu Yanqiu's work that Lu Yanqiu was responsible for adapting it into novels.

Only in this way can He Xi send Lu Yanqiu here.

"Miss Lu, I heard that your writers' work is carried out in a scattered manner. Why are you adapting what works by Teacher Xi?" Bai Yan couldn't wait to ask.

"My? I adapted part of "lannad"..." Lu Yanqiu did not hide it and replied: "But many people are responsible for the novelization of this work. Now everyone has basically submitted the manuscript, and several writers and editors are sorting it out. I think I will see the novel published soon."

Because the comics, animations and games of "Lannad" have been developed, and a lot of details and scripts can be used to refer to, the adaptation of novels is quite fast, and the work has started a few months ago. The writers have completed 70% or 80% of them.

Bai Yan was secretly surprised, and then frowned again.

The new animation cannot be "lannad", because this work has been produced by a joint venture between Zhongxia Company and Phoenix Company, and the final series "clannad~aftertory~" was successfully completed last month.

She clearly remembered the specific time of the completion of "clannad~aftertory~", which really made people want to forget it but couldn't forget it. On the day of the completion, you could see all kinds of posters in Tokyo. There were also many viewers spontaneously forming celebrations on the street where the Sakura Company was located.

One month after the completion, the BD sales of "clannad~aftertory~" broke through the best record in the animation industry. It is said that the trend of purchasing peripherals has not decreased. This animation has brought equally generous returns to Zhongxia Company and Phoenix Company, so that the animation adapted from the second text adventure game has begun to be produced.

Obviously, "lannad" and other text adventure games cannot become the new animation of Bai Yan.

"Am I wrong? Didn't she come to help me?"

Bai Yan began to doubt her judgment, but she did not make a rash judgment and continued to ask: "Miss Lu, in addition to "Lannad", has Teacher He Xi handed you other works?"

Most people may not imagine that He Xi might hand over the two works to Lu Yanqiu, but Bai Yan knows that He Xi has always made full use of it. If Lu Yanqiu is outstanding enough, it would not be strange to be responsible for the adaptation of the three works.

"This..." Sure enough, Lu Yanqiu's expression hesitated for a moment. She paused for a few seconds. Then she said, "Yes, yes, but I don't know if it can be leaked."

"It's okay, don't worry..." Bai Yan's eyes lit up and she said quickly: "I'm not a spy from other companies. If you tell me, if Teacher He Xi blames me, I will take the responsibility."

Lu Yanqiu thought it was true, and this was actually not a secret news. She nodded and said, "I am also responsible for the adaptation of "Shanna with the Eyes". The teacher asked me to adapt the content of its first volume into a novel before the Spring Festival."

"Shana with the Eyes?" Bai Yan said awkwardly. She seemed to have never heard of this work, so she couldn't help but ask the driver in front of her, "Kinda, have you heard of this work?"

"Yes, Director Bai." Although he was just a driver, Kimda, who had worked in Sakura Company for several years, had a good understanding of He Xi's works, just like other employees.

"Shana with the Eyes" is a comic launched by Mr. He Xi a few years ago. It is not serialized in comic magazines, but is specially released directly in a single-line version mode. The release time is also very unstable. On average, it only has one episode per year. This comic is often overlooked by new readers."

Bai Yan understood, no wonder she didn't know. Her understanding of comics actually only started this year. She has basically heard of Meng Huo's comics and animations, but she has not logged in to weekly magazines and has only been released once a year. She doesn't know that it is normal.

"What kind of work is this?" she asked.

"How to say it, the subject matter is very fresh..."

Jinda introduced "Shana with Burning Eyes", which tells the story of an ordinary boy living an ordinary life. When he met a monster that suddenly appeared, a girl who claimed to be a "scarred attacker with burning eyes" rescued him from the monster, and then showed the truth of the world in front of him...

"Shana with the Eyes" is a work that is between the boy and the girl's comics. It includes the passionate battles and persistent dreams of boy's comics, and the delicate emotions and gorgeous style of girl's comics. The worldview and themes of the comics are very special and are loved by many readers.

"Because of insufficient sales and publicity, many people in the company call "Shana with the Eyes" a buried comic." Kimda continued: "But readers generally have good reviews. If they were serialized like other comics by Mr. He Xi, their popularity should not be worse than them."

"Then why... Teacher He Xi doesn't change the serialization method?"

"It seems to be a problem of pressure..." Jintian shook his head: "I don't understand very much, but Teacher He Xi is serializing enough comics, and the company doesn't want to force him."

Bai Yan understood. "Shana with the Eyes" is a comic that was buried but of good quality.

"That's right!" she clapped her hands and said, "The teacher must be planning to hand over this comic to me and make it into an animation to enhance its influence, so she sent you Miss Lu to help."

She stared at Lu Yanqiu happily, but Lu Yanqiu was very worried: "Is this really the case? But I am responsible for adapting the first novel of "The Burning Eyes Shana". The original comic is not finished yet."

"It doesn't matter if it's not finished, how many animations can be divided into!"

Bai Yan can no longer listen, and the more she thinks about it, the more she is, the more she is right. Meng Huo must have wanted to use animation to increase the popularity of "Shana with the Eyes" so that it will no longer be ignored, and it doesn't matter if it is not finished, it may be just a part of the production.

Moreover, after listening to the content of the comics mentioned by Jinda, "Shanna with the Burning Eyes" has a very girlish comic style, which is suitable for He Xi's two female assistants to play, and it just met Bai Yan's request for He Xi a while ago.

Bai Yan believed in her thoughts. After settling down on Lu Yanqiu, she immediately asked someone to find all the single-books that had been released in "The Burning Eyes Shana" and then finished reading it in one breath.

After reading a few single-line books, Bai Yan felt that this comic is a rare and easy to adapt into an animation. The character and plot of the comic are very good, and each single-line book tells a complete story, which is also very convenient to make a series of animations.

"It must be "Shana with the Eyes"!" Bai Yan believed that she had seen through He Xi's thoughts.

Two days later, Meng Huo's plane landed at Tokyo Airport.

After a long time, Meng Huo came to Sakura Company as soon as possible and first went to the production office of "Detective Conan". The importance of this animation is obviously more important than another animation by Bai Yan.

With the help of Takashima and his wife, Meng Huo carefully checked all preparations for the return of "Detective Conan". His two assistants, Tomato and Xi Wenlin, have been here for half a month. The script of "Detective Conan" has been written, and the painters have experience. Nothing happened to the entire team that worried Meng Huo.

And when he arrived, the painters had already started the production of the first episode after the return of "Detective Conan", and the progress was quite smooth.

"Very good. As long as I maintain this momentum, it's the same whether I'm here or not." Meng Huo was very satisfied with the progress of "Detective Conan". Another director who was transferred from DreamWorks also adapted to his role. Meng Huo talked with the director for several hours, thinking that there was basically no problem with handing it over to him.

The seeds he planted in the past have gradually begun to sprout, and animation and movies are quickly becoming independent. I believe that in a while, Meng Huo will be able to pull himself away from many animations and create more exquisite works with all his heart.

After the inspection of "Detective Conan", Meng Huo soon came to a new animation studio.

This studio is also located in Sakura Company and is divided into two floors with another studio. When Meng Huo arrived, Bai Yan was already waiting outside the door with a smile on his face: "Welcome, teacher, before introducing the members of the new studio, I want to give you a surprise first!"

"surprise!?"

"Yes, it's just a surprise..." Bai Yan let out and pointed to the pictorial posted on the white wall behind him: "How about it, it's a great painting!"

Affixed to the door of the new studio is a pictorial of "Shanna with the Burning Eyes", which is a heroic figure of a girl with a long sword, and the pictorial is also printed with another line of small words "Flying Bird Studio's first animation."

“…”

After a long time, Bai Yan did not hear Meng Huo's praise, but instead saw his strange expression: "...What is this?"

"...Eh?" Bai Yan was stunned: "Shana with the Burning Eyes!"

"I know I'm painting "Shana with the Eyes", but what do you do to make it?"

“…Isn’t the animation the teacher intends to produce “Shana with the Eyes”?”

"Who said that?"

The two were completely in a dialogue on parallel lines. Lu Yanqiu, who was hiding at the door and eavesdropping, couldn't help but cover her head. She knew it would be like this. "Shanna with the Burning Eyes" was not the lower animation at all. If Teacher He Xi was going to make this animation, he should have told Lu Yanqiu about it before, and there was no need to hide it.

Outside the door, Bai Yan was stunned for a long time.

"Ha... Teacher, don't joke, the next part is not "Shanna with the Burning Eyes"?" She smiled bitterly, "What did you ask Miss Lu to come here for?"

"She? I asked her to come and help write the script." Meng Huo said naturally: "I don't have much time to stay here. She has strong writing experience. I think she might be able to help me."

“…”

Bai Yan fell into silence and had a headache. She didn't expect that she would make such a big mistake, but it was a little troublesome now. Of course, the pictorial of "Shanna with the Burning Eyes" was not her painting Bai Yan, who had already told the other people in the studio that the news was told to the rest of the studio. Everyone thought it would be this work.

This kind of misunderstanding occurred when the studio was established. Bai Yan felt a little embarrassed. She thought about it and simply made a mistake to the end and gritted her teeth: "Teacher, don't give me a new animation. I think "Shana with the Eyes" is good. Please make it in the lower animation!"

"Shana with the Eyes?" Meng Huo looked at the pictorial on the white wall. He was a little embarrassed. In fact, it took him several days and now he has a very good work to take out.

However, "Shana with the Eyes" seems to be a good choice. This comic was more popular than the original in its previous life, and the production difficulty was not very high.

The key is to choose "Shana with the Eyes". Meng Huo also spared the effort of preparing the script and character design. Although he had a new idea in his mind, he had not written it out yet, and this process would take a lot of time.

"……All right."
