Chapter 962

Among the hundreds of guests, Meng Huo's three are undoubtedly the most prominent ones.

"Good evening, Mr. He Xi." As one of the representatives of the organizer, Jiang Tianshi welcomed him with a smile. His eyes turned around Meng Huo and the two women around him, and he said with a smile, "two beautiful women are with me. Teacher, you are the luckiest man here."

Whether Alice or Shen Jie, they can be called peerless beauties. They are exotic and full of star style. When they accompany Meng Huo into the banquet hall, many guests around them look at them.

Jiang Tianshi looked at Shen Jie and said, "I didn't expect that Miss Shen would come too. Today is an artist's present?" Zhongxia company didn't send an invitation to Shengyou of Phoenix company, so Shen Jie's appearance surprised Jiang Tianshi.

"She is now a director of our company." Alice helped Shen Jie and said, "come here today as one of the representatives of our company." Not only the three of them, but also several other department directors were sent by Phoenix company to attend the banquet. Shen Jie was also qualified to attend.

Jiang Tianshi was a bit surprised, but he just asked, and actually didn't care whether Shen Jie was present or not.

Meng Huo looked around: "there are no reporters here?"

When he came in just now, he always felt that something was wrong. After careful observation, he found that there were no reporters with cameras in hand, and the guests in the hall seemed to be representatives of enterprises related to movies.

"Yes, there are no journalists." Jiang Tianshi nodded: "tonight is a commercial dinner. Only holding an invitation can we come in. Reporters should be blocked out. If Mr. He Xi wants to see reporters, I can let them in."

Meng Huo recognized the ridicule in his words, shook his head and said, "forget it. It's better not to have a reporter."

He looked up at the center of the hall, where there was a surrounded place. He could see the figure of Dong Ding. He was talking to the guests around him. Meng Huo was a little curious, so he let Jiang Tianshi lead them.

Just outside, they heard Dong Ding's voice.

"We expect the box office of Xianjian to reach 1.5 billion..." Meng Huo only heard this sentence, because after this sentence, the crowd in front of him began to talk and covered Dong Ding's voice.

"1.5 billion box office..."

Meng Huo was a little surprised. Is the expectation of Zhongxia company to the box office a little conservative? According to the past practice, Dong Ding should say that the box office of "the magician at the beginning of the century" is close to, or surpasses, more than 1.5 billion.

There was a blonde man outside the crowd. After hearing the number, he suddenly covered his head.

“oh，mygod！” He said: "this is China..."

Shen Jie asked, "what happened to him?"

"I think the box office scared him." Alice saw each other's identity, this should be a real foreigner, said with a smile: "the highest box office in other countries will not exceed one billion, generally hundreds of millions of films are high box office works."

Shen Jie nodded: "after all, there are few people!" She is not surprised. On this planet, the total population of China is close to half of the world's population. Naturally, the box office is beyond the imagination of other countries: "but... Will" sword attack "also be shown abroad?"

"It seems that it should be..." Alice found that there were a group of foreigners with different skin color beside the blonde man. They should be cinema operators from other countries. The location of "sword" was definitely not limited to one or two western powers.

Alice was very surprised. She didn't expect that Zhongxia company would be so well prepared. Although Phoenix's films will also be shown abroad, they are not as important as Zhongxia's - they have been increasingly ignored in recent years.

Meng Huo is the same. He would care about the development of foreign comics when he was in high school, but outside comics are even poorer. After a period of time, he never paid attention to other markets. After all, the development of Chinese Comics is at the forefront of the world, and in the period of great leap of comics led by Meng Huo, he does not believe that foreign cartoonists can keep up with the pace better than Chinese cartoonists.

In this world, the vast majority of Chinese enterprises are not very interested in the markets of other countries. When the population base is not at the same level, sometimes the word "Huaxia" itself represents the meaning of internationalization.

Before that, Phoenix had also been doing hairstyle comics abroad, but the market was not big. The combined market of several western countries was not even as prosperous as Jidong. As time goes by, Phoenix could not see the foreign market. The box office of "the magician at the beginning of the century" was not taken seriously.

However, it seems that Zhongxia pays more attention to the foreign market"The box office of 1.5 billion is very simple for you, isn't it?" At this time, Shen Jie asked Jiang Tianshi, "why not set the target at two billion?"

"Miss Shen, do you think everyone is teacher He Xi?"

Jiang Tianshi is helpless, and the actress doesn't understand the market. Although the hit of the sword has the popularity of the original book, it doesn't mean that the box office of 2 billion can reach 2 billion: "the box office of 1.5 billion is already very good. This film is the beginning of a new business of our company, and the IP value of" Flame Boy "will be proved in the film, We don't want any accidents. "

We can't expect to report the box office too high or too low. The box office of 1.5 billion is just right - this box office has been ranked in the forefront of animated films. Except Meng Huo's animated films, almost no animated films can exceed 1 billion. Therefore, the box office of 1.5 billion will not damage the popularity of Zhongxia company.

As long as it can reach the box office, all the members who make "sword is coming" will be rewarded. It can also prove that the animation popularity of "Flame Boy" is genuine. It can give Zhongxia enough confidence to make more animated films, and even improve the audience rating of the original animation.

Of course, if the box office can be close to or more than "the magician at the beginning of the century", it will be a surprise for Zhongxia.

"You can let it go. I thought your demands would be higher." Said Alice.

"That's what it was. We're all ready." Jiang Tianshi didn't hide his idea. Originally, Zhongxia really wanted to achieve a bigger goal through "Xianjian attack" and reverse the pressure brought by Phoenix company recently - but it was obviously very difficult to do so.

"In addition, the situation is different now..."

Jiang Tianshi turned to Meng Huo and said, "our company's requirements for" sword comes "have become smaller. We don't expect this film to reach a super high box office. Mr. He Xi, guess what our company has lowered its requirements for?"

"Destiny..."

Meng Huo answered without thinking.

Alice looked at him suspiciously, but Jiang Tianshi laughed: "it's a teacher... That's it. Because of the appearance of destiny and Jingyue, the company puts more expectations on Jingyue. The future Jingyue teacher... He may become a more popular cartoonist than angels."

Even Meng Huo couldn't help frowning. He had expected that Zhongxia company would attach great importance to the mysterious cartoonist, but he didn't expect that they would. When he realized that he had lowered his requirements for angels, he hinted that Zhongxia company no longer expected angels to fight Meng Huo.

Meng Huo recognized this taste. If the angel's "sword attack" did not become a prop against "the magician at the beginning of the century", it means that Zhongxia company has a better choice.

In any case, Zhongxia can't give up the psychology of confrontation with Meng Huo, because giving up means admitting defeat. Meng Huo doesn't think Zhongxia company has made such a decision. The reason why they lower their expectations of the sword is that they have a better choice: fate.

It is estimated that this comic book will soon be made into an animated film. Meng Huo is a little surprised that the value of Jingyue in Zhongxia company has surpassed that of angel.

However, to achieve this, it is absolutely not a cartoon that can decide. Zhongxia trusted Jingyue so much, and Meng Huo was very vigilant about what the cartoonist did to make them change so much.

He seemed to smell something out of his control.

"Say..." Meng Huo left and right to see a few eyes: "mirror month teacher did not come?"

Jiang Tianshi kept smiling: "Teacher He Xi wants to see him?"

"Of course... I'm curious. If only I could see him."

"... it's a pity, teacher. You may be disappointed. He didn't come here." Jiang Tianshi shook his head and said, "in fact, I've always wanted to see Mr. Jingyue, but I haven't had a chance. I still don't know what he looks like."

Meng Huo was stunned: "have you ever seen Jingyue?"

It's hard for him to believe that Jiang Tianshi knows the identity of Jingyue?

"I haven't met... Teacher, you may have misunderstood." Seeing Meng Huo's doubts, Jiang Tianshi quickly explained: "the information I know from my teacher and I should be the same. We all know that he is not a newcomer, and we also know his previous works - but we only know these. Only a few people in our company know the specific identity of Mr. Jingyue."

Meng Huo was full of disbelief: "your identity in Zhongxia is extraordinary. It's not easy to know?"

"I don't know."

Jiang Tianshi shakes his head. Meng Huo guesses wrong this time. Jiang Tianshi really doesn't know. Not only he, but also the director of the personnel department doesn't know the true identity of Jing Yue. But brother Jiang Tianshi seems to know, and so does Dong Ding.These two people did not disclose to Jiang Tianshi. Although they learned about the author of "the land of ice and fire" from Yang Liang, after actually hearing the rumor, Jiang Tianshi found that the author of "fate" was probably not the man.

The true identity of Jingyue seems not to be the useless cartoonist that the editors rumored, but a very mysterious figure. It's like a miracle that Zhongxia takes special care of him when he doesn't show up. Jiang Tianshi's curiosity is no less than Meng Huo's.

"Aren't you angry?" Meng Huo looked at Jiang Tianshi quite interestingly: "Zhongxia attaches so much importance to Jingyue teacher, are you not afraid that he has robbed your popularity?"

"Of course not afraid, he and I are not rivals..." Jiang Tianshi waved his hand: "Teacher He Xi, teacher Jingyue is different from you, we can have better cooperation."

Meng Huo immediately understood that Jingyue and Jiang Tianshi belong to Zhongxia company, one is good at original comics, the other is good at adaptation and animation production. They should be competitors, but they can actually complement each other.

Angel and mirror moon can work together to create excellent original animation or movies. They may become the strongest team of cartoonists. Angel originally based on adaptation of animation, plus mirror month, they can get a huge leap in the field of original animation.

Under such circumstances, how could Jiang Tianshi hate Jingyue? The other party is a hard to find content creator, who can provide him with outstanding original works and make angels produce better animations. It's too late for Jiang Tianshi to be happy!

"I see..." he simulated the cooperation between Jingyue and angel in his head. Meng Huo thought that Zhongxia company was more and more interesting - this combination might bring him a lot of fun.

In Meng Huo's opinion, this news is the best gift for the banquet.

The next day, the premiere of "the sword is coming" started, but this time only Shen Jie was left with Meng Huo. Alice was powerless - she left a lot of work and was dragged back to the company by Xu Jing. She had no time all day.

Meng Huo sits in the first row of the cinema, next to Dong Ding, but they don't say much. Meng Huo finds that Dong Ding's expression is very tense. He doesn't know whether he cares too much about the achievements of the film or has any other thoughts.

"Mr. Dong, relax when you go to the cinema..." another young man sitting next to Dong Ding reminds him with a smile that his appearance is quite similar to Jiang Tianshi. He is a young master of the Jiang family and a major shareholder of Zhongxia company. He is not bad.

Meng Huo met the young master at the dinner party last night. Jiang Tianen was gentle. When he talked with Meng Huo, he didn't appear to be condescending, respectful or hostile. Although it was only a one-sided relationship, Meng Huo had a lot of good feelings for him.

Meng Huo's only curiosity is how this young master of the Jiang family suddenly attended the dinner and Premiere of an animated film?

He had heard of this young master several years ago. However, Jiang Tianen never expressed his views on comics and animation. Meng Huo thought that he had no interest in comics, but he did not expect to see him at the banquet of "attack of immortal sword".

Is Jiang Tianen's appearance a whim? Or for my brother? Or

"He's suddenly interested in comics. Does it have something to do with that mirror moon teacher?" Recalling what Jiang Tianshi said last night, Meng Huo thinks that Jiang Tianen is not just a whim, nor a support for his younger brothe
