Chapter 150

March 1, Phoenix Building

Xu Jing looks down at the scene below through the reinforced glass wall. The streets are crowded with people and traffic. This is the same scene as usual.

In the past, He Xi's comics caused a frenzy when they came out. People can be seen reading comics more or less on the street and in bookstores. But this time "pet elf" after broadcast scene actually is very insipid, as if cannot see its effect.

If the newspaper on the desk didn't tell Xu Jing when the animation was broadcast and how lively it was in Ninghai, maybe he would have thought that the animation had failed. The difference between animation and cartoon is here. When the animation data is not released, it is difficult to judge whether it is successful or not from the social scene.

"No, maybe I got out of the crowd..."

Xu Jing laughed at himself when he thought about it. There is no doubt that "pet elf" is a great success, but he does not live in the crowd. If an ordinary old man goes for a walk, shopping, taking the bus and subway, he should be able to hear a lot of people talk about the animation.

Breaking away from the crowd is a sign of one's success. Xu Jing has worked hard for most of his life. He can't find the feeling of groping at the bottom of the society, and his body can't support that kind of life.

If he can, Xu Jing hopes that he can always maintain his present life and status.

But this kind of thing has been impossible to continue, last night after "pet elf" broadcast, overnight, many things are unconsciously changed, today's world and a day ago's world is completely different.

Xu Jing's eyes turned to the door of the Phoenix building. A bright red Porsche stopped there and stepped down from the car. There were two teenagers, a man and a woman. Xu Jing didn't pay attention to the girl. He stared at the boy with complicated thoughts.

"Meng Huo, how can I keep you in Fenghuang?"

Today is the day for Phoenix company to start work. The editorial department has not been in full operation yet, but all the people in the animation department have arrived《 No one dares to be lazy.

Meng Huo leads Shen Jie into the building.

"Hello, Mr. He Xi..."

"Good morning, Mr. He Xi..."

All the people on the road greet Meng Huo with respect. Now the whole company knows that He Xi is the manager of the animation production department. Naturally, he is very enthusiastic. In contrast, Shen Jie seems to have been forgotten, which makes Shen Jie feel very novel. Wherever she goes, she will be noticed by others, but when she walks beside Meng Huo, she becomes a green leaf.

"Good morning."

Meng Huo responded to other people's greetings with a smile and came back when he came to the office.

"Teacher He Xi."

In the office, Li Hua and Zhong Yue had been waiting for Meng Huo for a long time. When they saw him come in, they stood up and said, "good news, the ratings of pet elf animation are very high!"

"Teacher He Xi, we can wait for other TV stations to come to us!"

They both looked excited. Meng Huo noticed what they said: "has the ratings come out yet?"

"No, not yet." Li Hua said with a smile: "but we know someone in the TV station who told us that the audience rating of pet elf is at least 15%!"

“15%？”

Meng Huo frowned slightly. The ratings of "cat and mouse couple" seem to be 34%, and "pet elf" still has a long way to go. But it doesn't matter. After all, it's just an episode.

"Li Hua, take Shen Jie down." Meng Huo said, "she promised to continue to be a voice actor. You can find some people to teach her."

Shen Jie learned dubbing for a while before Chinese new year, but if she wants to become a professional voice actor, she has to go through more professional guidance.

"Good." Li Hua nods and then takes Shen Jie away. Shen Jie says goodbye to Meng Huo before she leaves.

"And hessy?" After the two women left, Meng Huo asked Zhong Yue, "didn't you say she wanted to work in the company?"

He didn't see He Xi beside Li Hua and Zhong Yue. He felt very strange.

"Not so early." Zhong Yue said with a bitter smile, "she just left the hospital and has to rest for a while. We'll bring her back later."

"Then let her rest a little longer." Meng Huo nodded, feeling that it was OK.

"Teacher He Xi, this is today's work schedule..." then, Zhong Yue took out a work schedule, and they began to work.

This day is very busy. Shen Jie stays in the dubbing room separated by transparent glass. She can always see Meng Huo passing by. Some adults follow him and keep talking with information and images. As long as Meng Huo points out some problems, these adults will be very depressed."It's amazing..."

Shen Jie was stunned to see, several times dubbing out of tune.

However, Meng Huo is really busy. Just after the Spring Festival, many painters and employees can't find their status and make mistakes everywhere. Meng Huo had to check the situation of various departments, had a meeting to study, and even had a rest at noon. However, guoletong from Ninghai TV station came.

"What did he come for?"

He was surprised that Meng Huo took the time to meet him.

The purpose of guoletong's coming to Phoenix company is to fight for more broadcasting rights of "pet elf". Ninghai TV station wants the exclusive Premiere of this animation, one week ahead of other local TV stations, and on the basis of existing broadcasting, it will have a replay on Wednesday afternoon.

After a series of bargaining, Ninghai TV station gave a price of 1 million yuan for each episode. This figure surprised Meng Huo. The TV station was so generous that he agreed immediately.

Immediately, Meng Huo announced the news to important members of the animation production department.

"A million!"

"My God, that's too high!"

Everyone was stunned by the amount of money. With the broadcast cost of 1 million yuan per episode, Ninghai TV station alone filled up the production cost of "pet elf". It not only filled up the production cost, but also made several times of profits, which was unimaginable when they were still Huayue animation studio.

"Animation is really important in content..."

"Fortunately, the current leader is teacher He Xi, not Li Tianhui..."

"We're going to be developed in the future!"

A lot of people think like this. Their hearts are surging and their eyes are shining. They seem to see the rapid rise of wages.

"In the future, the production cost of each episode will increase to 400000." Meng Huo looked at the excited faces and said with a smile, "if you do this animation well, you will definitely get a pay increase in the future."

He knew what these people were thinking and made a promise.

Long live teacher He Xi

"Chief, I love you!"

The passion of the backbone of the animation production department immediately came up, and after going to work in the afternoon, the news quietly spread to other people's ears, the whole animation production department was boiling up, and the work efficiency increased greatly.

Meng Huo watched the progress, and two days later, the second episode of "pet elf" will be released.

In the afternoon, when she was about to leave work, Alice went to Meng Huo and said, "my father wants to see you."

"Good."

Meng Huo thought it was a new subject matter, so he put down his work.

"I saw your new comic book today." When taking the elevator, Alice said, "the story is very good, the rhythm is very good. I like the picture when saber comes on the stage. If only you could make it more beautiful."

She looked at Meng Huo tentatively, and Meng Huo guessed that she wanted to draw that very beautiful picture herself.

"Fate StayNight" is a story about a group of people fighting for the Holy Grail to realize their wishes. Saber is a very important role in it, even the heroine.

saber It's called by the hero. The picture of her appearance is of course important. Alice's request is not too much.

"All right."

Meng Huo simply agreed.

"What's more, I always have a strange feeling when I watch this cartoon. Just in case, I want to ask you first, those heroes..." Alice wanted to say something else, but when the elevator jingled, she had to stop talking: "I'll ask you this question later. You go to see my Dad first."

Meng Huo nods, walks out of the elevator and walks into Xu Jing's office with Alice.

His office is always full of the fragrance of tea. Meng Huo once studied with Xu Jing here for some time, and he is very familiar with the smell.

"Here you are, Alice. Sit first." Xu Jing asked her daughter to sit down and said with a smile to Meng Huo, "Meng Huo, please help us make tea. I haven't drunk the tea you made for a long time."

"Good."

Meng Huo nodded slightly and went to get the tea skillfully.

Xu Jing was satisfied with his attitude. Then he shook his head and sat down on the sofa opposite Alice with a pile of materials. Xu Jing put the materials on the small table. These materials are the materials that Alice gave him during the day, and now she has finished reading "Oriental Fantasy town".

"Is this subject OK?"

Meng Huo made the tea, put it on the table and asked carefully."Well, it's an interesting subject." Xu Jing took a few sips of the cup and said with admiration, "your tea making skills are not unfamiliar. Do you drink tea at home?"

"This..." Meng Huo was stunned, then shook his head and said, "I don't drink tea at home."

In his opinion, there is not much difference between tea and water.

"No way! Tea is the essence of Chinese culture. Drinking more tea will do you no harm! " Xu Jing stares. He is a standard tea fan and wants to promote his tea philosophy whenever he has a chance.

However, Meng Huo had long been used to hearing it. He went in his left ear and flew out his right.

Xu Jing talked about the benefits of drinking tea for a few minutes, and finally turned the topic back.

"It's interesting. It's interesting." He said: "but the operability is too low to let the company's cartoonists draw directly..."

The answer is the same as Alice's. Meng Huo is a little disappointed, but after Xu Jing says he can't, the topic suddenly changes.

"Meng Huo, the company wants to hold a reader meeting for cartoonist He Xi. What's your opinion? This" Oriental Fantasy town "... You can let it out at the party."
