Chapter 843

"Son of a bitch!" On the same day, in Yanjing, Zhao Meng, President of "dream of stars", the second largest entertainment company in China, slammed vases onto the ground and cursed: "damn ho Xi, and that traitor, it's too much deception!"

His wife Xiao Shu is not surprised by his actions. She always sees Zhao Meng angry at home these days. She calmly orders the nanny to clean up the debris on the ground, and then slowly walks over until Zhao Meng has enough to vent.

"What's the matter?" "Can't you keep the four directors?" she asked

She knew that the reason why Zhao Meng was angry was that several directors wanted to change jobs. When they first offered their resignation, Zhao Meng felt that something was wrong. The result of the investigation made him even more angry - the directors wanted to help Phoenix company make animated films!

Zhao Meng was full of prejudice against Phoenix company originally. When he encounters this kind of thing again, he can calm down. Zhao Meng has been trying to persuade the directors to stay, but it doesn't seem to have much effect.

"They're gone." He sat on the sofa and said angrily: "today, everyone has gone, and some other elite employees have been taken away!" Xiao Shu was surprised: "how could this happen? Even if you can't keep them, as long as you are tough, they can't leave so soon, can they? "

Zhao Meng lit a cigarette and smoked it fiercely.

"They are not ordinary people, I can't accompany them to death." Indeed, if he forces these directors to stay, most of them will succeed. However, in this way, these directors will not work hard for him, and will also have an impact on the image of "dream of stars".

Each of the four directors is an old director with more than ten years of experience. They have a lot of contacts and influence. Although they are not famous as stars, they have a strong appeal in the industry and even in the star circle. If they are not in a desperate situation, Zhao Meng will not be able to accompany them.

"What should we do now? Just give them to Phoenix for nothing? " Xiao Shu frowned and asked. She didn't think that her husband would be such a simple person who admitted that he suffered losses. Zhao Meng's strength is indispensable if he can have his present position in the entertainment industry.

"Give it to Phoenix for nothing? Hum... "In a short time, Zhao Meng finished smoking. He reached out to put out the cigarette end, and didn't care about the heat at the top:" how can there be such an easy thing? Isn't He Xi going to have an animation broadcast soon? "

Xiao Shu was stunned, then flipped over the desk and found a newspaper: "ah, yes, the name of this animation is wine of eternal life, which premiered on the 11th."

She handed the newspaper to Zhao Meng, and Zhao Meng took it. As expected, the animation was reported in the newspaper. Although Phoenix company didn't do much publicity for wine of eternal life, the media still didn't miss the introduction of He Xi animation because of its attention to it.

"The wine of eternal life" - the story begins in 1711 on the Atlantic Ocean, the alchemists who have been away from home get something from the devil, the wine of eternal life. People who drink the wine of eternal life will not die no matter what kind of injury they suffer. The only way to die is for people who drink the wine of eternal life to kill each other. In the New York underworld in the 1930s, young Philo, the couple of stupid thieves, the 200 year old alchemist and his assistant, as well as Philo's childhood playmate, rich family daughter, members of terrorist organizations, young train conductor, and so on, all these people who had nothing to do with each other began to complicate their fate because of the recovery of the wine of eternal life.

——It's a long introduction, but like others, Zhao Meng has only one feeling after watching it.

"I don't know what to say!" He put the newspaper down, and the introduction to wine of eternal life was not short, but he couldn't understand what kind of story the animation was going to tell. Even the editors who made the report probably didn't know. They just copied down the introduction.

"Here's another one." Xiao Shu picked up another newspaper, but she didn't give it to Zhao Meng this time. Instead, she said, "this newspaper reveals the title of the first episode of wine of eternal life. It's called vice president doesn't talk about the possibility of being the leading role."

"... what a name!" Zhao Meng sneered: "sure enough, just like they said, it's a completely unintelligible animation."

"Who are they?"

"Some TV friends." Zhao Meng answered Xiao Shu's question and said, "they are all people who directly watch or indirectly get the news of the sample film of wine of eternal life. The information they provide is more authoritative than the reports in these newspapers."

Xiao Shu immediately burst out of interest. As soon as she turned her eyes, she immediately guessed that Zhao Meng was going to take revenge on He Xi around the wine of eternal life.

"Is that animation bad?" She asked aloud.

"It's more than bad." Zhao Meng sniffed and said happily: "according to the TV station, it's just chaos. He Xi is holding his popularity and willful. None of the people who have seen the sample has given it a score of more than five points. Can you believe the result? TV stations can't broadcast all kinds of animations. They want to keep their ratings. If it's not He Xi's animation, no one will want it for those TV stations. "Zhao Meng didn't believe it when he got the news at first, but after verification in many aspects, he is now fully sure that "wine of eternal life" is a rotten film, and it's not an ordinary rotten film. He can say it's the fighter in the rotten film.

"So bad?" Xiao Shu sat beside Zhao Meng and frowned: "but don't you think it's wrong? How can He Xi make such a poor animation? I heard that there was an animation called "magic girl's little circle" before. It... "

"Impossible, impossible!" Zhao Meng waved: "you want to say that wine of eternal life will be the same as magic girl Xiaoyuan, right? I tell you, it's impossible. The positioning of the two animations is totally different... The magic girl's little circle is just a bad story in the early stage, but the wine of eternal life is not a matter of story. "

He has made it clear for a long time that the problem of the wine of eternal life is not storytelling. If it is storytelling, it can be saved. No one knows whether it will be reversed. But it's not a matter of content at all, it's a matter of production technique.

"They describe wine of eternal life as a literary film. Do you understand that?" Zhao Meng said, "the wine of eternal life" is just like a literary film. The problem is not the story, but the narrative technique is too abstract and complex, which is no solution at all.

A narrative problem animation, if you can fire strange! Even in TV dramas, directors are avoiding complicated narration. Once the shooting is too complicated, no matter how good the story is, it's useless.

And what He Xi is doing is such a thing, which can be said to be a "TV taboo"

"He's too high on the television audience." Zhao Meng satirized: "if you put this kind of animation in the cinema, how many people can bear to watch it, after all, they pay for it... But on TV, how can people bear to watch it for you?"

He Xi made a fatal mistake. He put the wrong way on TV. Chinese TV audiences are generally relaxed, and the most disgusting thing is complicated TV dramas. They don't have to pay for TV as they do in cinemas. As long as they are a little impatient, most people will change channels.

Besides, there are many choices of animation in Huaxia. The audience can choose TV stations freely. With the movement of their fingers, there are many other simpler and easier animations to watch. Why can people watch the wine of eternal life?

After listening to her husband's words, Xiao Shu felt that He Xi was a little too young.

"You have made such a clear investigation that you intend to teach him a lesson from the wine of eternal life?" She asked aloud. Although she asked, there was no difference in tone and confirmation. How could Zhao Meng miss such a good tool? He nodded his head honestly.

"Phoenix company doesn't want to hype the wine of eternal life, so let me help them hype it. This time, we must humiliate him, or he will only make it worse!" Although Meng Huo didn't target Zhao Meng, Zhao Meng felt that he was humiliated too much.

He can't let this situation develop, and He Xi's intention to set up an animation film company has also touched his head. Zhao Meng is even more worried that this company will also have an impact on them in the film - this is not without a lesson.

"In fact, Zhongxia company has talked to me about the idea of making animated films before." Zhao mengdun, continued: "before I didn't plan this, now He Xi is pressing step by step, it seems that I have to seriously consider this matter."

Xiao Shu was surprised again: "do you want to make animated films?"

"It's not just movies..." Zhao Meng shook his head: "I want to further cooperate with Zhongxia company. Why can't we do what Phoenix company can do? This time those directors leave, I want them to come back on their own initiative. "

"And the traitor..." he recalled the culprit of the present situation, Alice, and was even more furious: "does she think I don't know what she's doing? Everything is caused by her, I will never let her go

Whether it's the rise of He Xi, the establishment of Shengyou office, or a series of actions of Phoenix company, He Xi is indeed the core, but in Zhao Meng's eyes, the person he hates most is not He Xi, but Alice.

If Alice had not been the editor in charge of Ho Xi, he might not have got up; Without her, Shengyou office will not grow, and He Xi will not be a Shengyou; Even without her, a few directors would not be able to get in touch with He Xi - who knows what Alice will do in the future?

Zhao Meng finds that her threat is much greater than He Xi's. as long as she can solve the trouble brought by this woman, no matter how serious He Xi is, He Xi is just an eagle who has lost both wings. No matter how hard He Xi is, He Xi can't fly.

However, Alice is not aggressive, and when she worked in "dream of stars", she didn't leave any black history and information. This made Zhao Meng very difficult, and he couldn't find a suitable place to start. He could only put her aside for the time being and take advantage of wine of eternal life.On Monday, March 11, "wine of eternal life" premiered on Suhua TV.

The broadcast time is noon, which is not consistent with the usual evening broadcast time. It can be seen that Suhua TV station is not very optimistic about the wine of eternal life, and in fact, this broadcast time is also the time Meng was approved.

Every TV station has prime time and non prime time. The animations broadcasted in prime time are generally popular animations. Putting the unpopular animations on it will only make the TV station's ratings decline and the loss will be great. The premiere price of wine of eternal life is very low, and it should also be put in non prime time at noon according to the price.

However, even so, this time still did not extinguish the enthusiasm of a large number of fans.

As a niche animation publicly acknowledged by Phoenix company, the extent to which "wine of eternal life" will be niche has also attracted the attention of many reporters and media. Before the animation starts, the audience and reporters sit in front of the TV and wait, including Yu Feihang and his editors.

Every time He Xi's new work premiered, Yu Feihang would never be absent. Today, he even asked the editors of the whole department to stay and order fast food outside, and then more than a dozen editors were waiting in front of the TV.

"I have a hunch that this animation will be very topical!"“ Do you mean bad topics? Are we going to add black water to teacher He Xi this time“ I think it's better to be the same as before. The first episode is not good-looking. Maybe it will be followed by the magic girl's little circle“ To be honest, I still can't believe that teacher He Xi will make a work that everyone thinks is bad. "

Before the animation started, the editorial department was full of noisy discussions, and the editors' news was also very sensitive. They had already got some inside details from the TV station, so their expectations for the first episode of wine of eternal life were not very high.

They have begun to talk about how to prepare for the news after the animation broadcast. Yu Feihang has always asked the editors to evaluate He Xi's animation from a positive point of view. But this time, if the inside story is true, it will be difficult for them to maintain a positive attitude.

"How can a bad film become a good one? Isn't that a lie? " They think so, and then very seriously wait for the animation broadcast, if the first episode really makes everyone feel bad, they can't advertise it in reverse.

However, Yu Feihang didn't say anything when the editors talked about it. From his experience, even if people all over the world said He Xi's animation was not good-looking, it's not something to believe.

"Teacher He Xi can't treat him according to common sense, we should believe him..." over the years, this idea has become Yu Feihang's insistence, and it has proved its correctness again and again.

What's more, He Xi will bring a rotten film to the market?

As long as people with normal IQ will feel that this is impossible, how can He Xi smash his own signboard? Some people in the TV station say that he is wayward, but even if he is wayward, will Phoenix company accompany He Xi to be wayward?

Phoenix company agreed to make "wine of eternal life" and push it out, which is a strong signal in itself - others say that "wine of eternal life" will not be like "little circle of magic girl". On the contrary, Yu Feihang thinks that this animation must be "little circle of magic girl" in another sense.

No matter what kind of way it is used, the wine of eternal life is bound to break people's eyes, which has happened many times in the past. Beyond the absolute trust of He Xi, Yu Feihang believes that this time will be no exception.

Of course, he also understood that other people's opinions could not be ignored. So many inside information said that the first episode was not good, so the first episode would not be good.

"This may be the biggest Jedi counterattack..." Yu Feihang thought that what he can do now is to try his best to find the highlights in the first episode. If He Xi's clues to the Jedi counterattack can be revealed in advance, their newspapers will be very hot.

However, according to past experience, it will be very difficult to find clues.

Before long, when the take out of the editorial department arrived and the editors began to have lunch, the animation began to broadcast. Just like many previous animations, the opening song made the editors refreshing.

"Another new song!"

"This song is also good, teacher He Xi is still the same, leaving no spare effort in the song, but its style seems to be a little different from the past Animation songs, this feeling is very strange, a bit like... Well, what is it like?"

"You mean like the western style of songs? This song seems to be a combination of jazz and wind instruments... In fact, I don't quite understand it, but I've heard some western singers' music before, and I feel a little familiar with them. "

"So this is a new way of music? Teacher He Xi even knows western music? No, it's very important. Write it down quickly... And I heard that wine of eternal life has an English name. Isn't that a direct translation? "Yu Feihang pointed his chopsticks at an editor and asked, "has the English name been investigated clearly?"

"Yes." The editor stopped his lunch box, looked for it on the table, and then took out a piece of paper: "Baccano - it doesn't seem to be pure English. This word has the meaning of" great disturbance "in Italian. If Mr. He Xi is on purpose, I doubt that the actual name of wine of eternal life may be" great disturbance "

"The great commotion?"

As soon as Yu Feihang's eyes brighten, it's interesting. Maybe it's true. The wine of eternal life is too confusing, but the word "the great disturbance" is much easier to explain - especially in line with some insider information.

According to the family members of the painters who have seen the animation samples and participated in the animation production, the characters and stories in this animation are very complicated and jumping around. If it is "the great disturbance", it can better show this situation.

"Is that true?"

Yu Feihang looks forward to it. The music rhythm of "wine of eternal life" is very happy, and the film's opening is also wonderful. Both the music and the picture are basically perfect. Such a beginning, there is no way to make people believe that the animation is not careful enough
