Chapter 964

On the day of the premiere of "the sword comes", Meng Huo left for Suhua. But the next day, an acquaintance came from afar.

"Good afternoon." After work, Meng Huo met the director Bai Yan in the restaurant and asked, "why do you come from Tokyo when you have time?"

Bai Yan smiles and shakes her head: "I'm much more free than my teacher. I was in Yanjing two days ago."

"Yanjing?" Meng Huo ordered a good lunch to the waiter standing by, and said with a little surprise, "so you came to see me today for" latius and latios, the patron saint of the city of water "

Latias and latios, the patron saint of the city of water, is the first theatrical film of the upcoming series of "the little elves of Chong". It is not the first theatrical film in the original book, and the box office is not ideal.

It can't even be said that it's not as simple as ideal. The film "latias and latios, the patrons of the water city" ranked fourth in the animated films of that year, and it was also the lowest income work in the theater version of "Chong Wu elf" in all previous dynasties.

However, when Meng Huo chose to make the theater version of "Chong Wu elves", he still put it in the first place and gave up the first work which had a good box office. The reason is precisely because the box office of "latias and latios, the patrons of the water capital" is not good and more challenging.

As a matter of fact, he likes the theater version of the movie, which has lost heavily at the box office. It is quite classic in Meng Huo's mind, even more classic than some of the box office movies. As the fifth anniversary of the movie series of "Chong thing elves", latias and latios, the patrons of the city of water, are the first films based on real scenes.

Its story is set in Venice, the capital of water. There are many accordion music in the movie. The whole movie has a mysterious and romantic atmosphere which is different from the animation atmosphere of "Chong thing elf".

Meng Huo wants to show that breath and further enrich the world outlook of "Chong Wu elf". However, it is a pity that Bai Yan did not come for latias and latios, the patrons of the city of water.

"The film is over, and the publicity and premiere preparation are going on. I don't need to go again." Bai Yan said, "I came here for Tokyo this time. I went to Yanjing two days ago because my teacher was very busy."

"I see..." Meng Huo took a sip of the boiled water on the table and nodded: "so it's about dragon and tiger? I remember the end of the animation, right

The animation arrangement of dragon and tiger is half a year. However, it has been five months since the first episode of the first half of the year was broadcast, and it will be over in two or three weeks. Meng Huo said with a smile: "well, I haven't thank you yet《 The animation of "dragon and tiger" is very good. It didn't let me do one more snack

For nearly half a year, the ratings of "dragon and tiger" that the TV station gave back to Meng Huo were quite good. Bai Yan's performance exceeded Meng Huo's expectation. During the whole animation broadcast, he basically didn't need to do any interference - in the past, this was something he didn't even dare to think about.

Bai Yan looked relaxed: "thank you. The success of" dragon and tiger "is also the success of the script in the final analysis, and it comes from your teacher's hand - I just moved it back into the animation, which is not so powerful."

Meng Huo shook his head: "don't be modest. Handling also needs skills. You can ask Kaoshima Xiangzi if she is willing to change a director."

"What does this have to do with Miss Xiangzi?" The white goose was a little surprised.

"During the broadcast of dragon and tiger, Xiangzi's popularity has increased more than ten times - this is a report given to me by the sound studio." Meng Huo said with a smile: "now her popularity has steadily ranked fourth among female voice actors. Isn't it all your credit? The same story, if put in the hands of another person, may not be able to cause this effect

Kaoshima Xiangzi's rapid rise based on "dragon and tiger" is the best proof of Bai Yan's ability. Xiangzi is the dubbing of the heroine of "dragon and tiger", and the reason why her popularity is so exaggerated is that Bai Yan deeply shows the image of the animation heroine.

The heroine of "dragon and tiger" is a typical proud heroine. Meng Huo once worried that Bai Yan couldn't master it. As a result, she did a good job, leading the heroine of animation and Kaoshima Xiangzi to fit together perfectly, and none of the key plots fell off the chain.

Meng Huo is most familiar with Christmas, when the heroine first discovers her love for the hero. In the original animation, after the man leaves the woman's home, the scene where the woman suddenly tears and chases out is the classic of the whole animation of dragon and tiger. He once thought it would not reappear - but Bai Yan perfectly copied the details of the cartoon.

There is little difference between the copied plot and the original one. Just because of this, less than a month after the plot, Kaoshima Xiangzi's performance fee has increased by nearly 100000, and her growth rate is even faster than that of Shen Jie and Xia Chuan.When Meng Huo said that, Bai Yan naturally had nothing to say and could only accept Meng Huo's praise.

Of course, she didn't come to let Meng Huo praise herself. Without two words, Bai Yan brought Meng Huo into today's business: "I'm a lobbyist for the animation department in Tokyo. Mr. He Xi, the staff there hope you can make time to go there earlier..."

"Wait!" Meng Huo raised a hand to interrupt and said with a bitter smile, "I don't have much time now. They are for the next animation?"

He just left Suhua a few days ago, and now he has a lot of things to do. In addition to work and internship, there will be many activities and premieres for latias and latios, the patrons of Shuidu. At least in half a month, Meng Huo will not have time to go to Tokyo.

But after Bai Yan said that he was a lobbyist for Tokyo animation department, Meng Huo guessed her purpose.

"It's Detective Conan, isn't it?"

Meng Huo asked.

Bai Yan nodded: "dragon and tiger is still a few weeks away. Tokyo wants the teacher to prepare for the animation return of Detective Conan as soon as possible... Teacher, you have a criminal record of changing your mind. If you can't give the plan earlier, they can't rest assured."

"Detective Conan" has stopped broadcasting for a long time. It should have been back long ago - but Meng Huo delayed it again and again. This time, as the end of "dragon and tiger" approached, the staff of Cherry Blossom company learned to be smart and made the idea early.

Meng Huo's expression was a little embarrassed: "they won't change their mind this time. Please let them rest assured! As long as the end of things here, I will go to Tokyo immediately to prepare for the return of Detective Conan. "

"The same hexagram?" White goose eyebrows pick, the expression becomes a little delicate.

"What's the matter?" Meng Huo is very strange, he gave a promise, how white goose instead seems unhappy?

"Nothing..." Bai Yan shook her head and continued: "another thing is the cartoon of dragon and tiger. Teacher, when do you plan to finish it? After the end of the animation, the attraction of the cartoon "dragon and tiger" to readers will also decline, right

The cartoon hairstyle of "dragon and tiger" is earlier than that of cartoon hairstyle. It is on sale at the same time as "Legend of Galaxy singer". However, the progress of animation is obviously faster than that of cartoon. Now the animation plot has caught up with the progress of cartoon.

In a few weeks, the animation of dragon and tiger will be finished, and the ending has been determined. Then readers' expectations of comics will naturally decrease. Bai Yan suggests that comics and animation should end in the same week.

"This... There is no problem in the operation..." Meng Huo nodded. It's not a big problem that the comics are finished now. The stories are almost all told. Adding more pages in the next few weeks can make the comics end at the same time.

The problem is that Meng Huo still has two assistants working for "dragon and tiger". If the cartoon is finished, Meng Huo can't ignore their work. He has to replace the new cartoon accurately. These two assistants are girl caricaturists, but Meng Huo doesn't want to draw girl caricatures any more.

He hasn't thought about the next comic book, so he doesn't want to finish it for the time being. He plans to let the comic book "dragon and tiger" continue to run for two months.

"Forget it. I think it's OK to finish the cartoon later." Meng Huo said that even if the animation spoiled the cartoon ending ahead of time and some readers lost interest, it would not make the cartoon popularity of "dragon and tiger" plummet. It would be no problem to keep it for several months.

But hearing what he said, the white goose was in a hurry.

"No, it must end at the same time!" "This is the best time to finish," she said, clapping the table. "The week that animation and comics end at the same time," dragon and tiger "will be the most popular work."

"Even if it doesn't become the most popular work, it doesn't matter..." Meng Huo looked at Bai Yan strangely: "Why are you so eager, even if" dragon and tiger "can't become the most popular work, but when" Detective Conan "returns, it will certainly become the most popular work of the week!"

Bai Yan was discouraged: "well, Mr. He Xi - I won't cheat you any more. In fact, I'm not interested in Detective Conan. If I can, I'd like to borrow your two female cartoonist assistants to set up a new animation studio. They are really excellent employees. "

Meng Huo's eyes are wide open. Is it for the two female assistants that Bai Yan wants him to finish the cartoon of dragon and tiger? Are they really so good?

However, on second thought, he understood Bai Yan a little bit, because in terms of work attitude alone, the two female assistants were really not picky. They have worked under Meng Huo for several years, and they have always been conscientious and responsible for comics.

If such a woman falls into the hands of Bai Yan, she will naturally become the object of her reliance, not to mention that in addition to her far superior sense of responsibility and rigorous work attitude, these two female cartoonists are still genuine cartoon power faction, otherwise they would not be Meng Huo's assistants.Powerful painters, excellent working attitude - no wonder Bai Yan treats them like a baby.

"If those two guys knew about it, I don't know if they would be ashamed..." Meng Huo murmured from the bottom of his heart. He thought of tomato and Xi Wenlin, who had been under Bai Yan in the past《 The magician at the beginning of the century is the result of their cooperation with Bai Yan. However, in Bai Yanxin and Xi Wenlin, it is obvious that they are not as useful as those two female cartoonists.

After stopping thinking, Meng Huo looked at Bai Yan and said in surprise, "don't you want to make Detective Conan? Why? Other people dream of being its director

"Whoever wants to do it, do it for him!" White goose a face meaningless said: "I don't like" Detective Conan ", but this animation is too long, I don't want to be a long animation director."

She doesn't hate Detective Conan, but she has a big opinion on its length. Such a long animation, as a director of the result may be several years, or even more than ten years to knock on such an animation, but this is not what Bai Yan hopes to see.

After her transformation from a film director to an animation director, Bai Yan has made new discoveries every day. The animation industry is a new and magical world for her. She wants to make more contact with and make different types of interesting animations.

To achieve this goal, she has to stay away from the long animation.

"There are two directors in DreamWorks who are very interested in Detective Conan. Teacher, you can arrange for them to go there." "Detective Conan originally has a mature production team, and you have two male assistants to help. The importance of the director is lower than other animations, so that the two directors will not have problems in the past," Bai Yan suggested

Meng Huo knows that there will be no problem. Even if there is no strong director, "Detective Conan" is easy to get on the right track after its return - after all, it is an old work and the production team is very mature.

He didn't worry about Detective Conan, but he was very interested in Bai Yan's idea.

"Where do you plan to build a new animation studio?" Meng Huo asked.

"Animation studio in Tokyo is OK!" Hearing Meng Huo's words, Bai Yan's eyes brightened. She found that Meng Huo's attitude was much more enlightened than she expected. She quickly elaborated her plan: "some painters in Cherry Blossom company are willing to give up the famous detective Conan and start a new studio with me. I asked Kao Daoxian that the painters in the Far East District have sufficient resources to support our two studios."

Meng Huo was surprised, and then suddenly found that he did not pay attention to the special situation in the extreme East District. In the past, he wanted to set up animation studios in Ninghai, Suhua and Yanjing, where there were so many animation departments that good painters were robbed by Zhongxia.

However, the comic atmosphere in the Far East is no worse than that in these big cities, and the market is almost dominated by Phoenix company. Although there are many small animation companies, if Phoenix company wants to set up a second studio, it's too easy. Few painters can't move.

Bai Yan's plan is highly feasible, but

"What kind of animation do you want to make?" Meng Huo asked again, he didn't think that Bai Yan would like the works of other cartoonists. Most of them had to take them from his own hands
