Chapter 1045

In late December, a sudden news shocked the whole Chinese animation circle.

At the end of an ordinary press conference in Angel studio, when reporters were packing up their notes to leave, Jiang Tianshi suddenly came in.

"Don't hurry, everyone. Don't leave until I announce the news." His words made reporters sit down again, but instead of going on stage, Jiang Tianshi said directly: "next month, angel will cooperate with Phoenix company to make teacher He Xi's" pirate king "into an animation."

For a moment, the reporters on the scene thought they had heard wrong.

"... it seems that you have nothing to ask," Jiang Tianshi looked around for a week, then turned and walked out.

The reporters reacted and jumped up with a hula, catching up quickly.

"Wait! Mr. Jiang, what you just said is true“ Mr. Jiang, Mr. Jiang, you were not joking“ next month? Why is there no news from Phoenix company? "

These reporters immediately surrounded Jiang Tianshi. He waved his hand and said, "don't be so flustered. It's true. As for Phoenix company, they should announce the news now."

He was right. Although Phoenix did not hold a press conference, five minutes ago, the news also appeared on the official website and the homepage of he Xizhi's forum.

The announcement time of the two sides is basically the same, because angel and Phoenix have just reached an agreement on the membership list of the new studio - the matter is completely settled.

Meng Huo had finished discussing the details of cooperation when he came to angel's studio two weeks ago. However, both sides decided to wait for the final membership list to be officially announced, and the main obstacle to the list was Phoenix company.

Fortunately, Phoenix company has been selecting several weeks in advance. Today, after discussing the list with He Xi and Jiang Tianshi, they have no opinion, and the matter is completely settled.

Compared with Jiang Tianshi's concise speech at the press conference, Phoenix's news on the official website introduced the details of the cooperation in more detail.

This cooperation mode is very similar to the previous Qinglong studio. Angel and Phoenix company each hold half of the shares and set up the animation studio "pirate" - this studio's name is simple. It was only set up for the creation of "pirate king". There will be no cooperation in other animation in the future.

This also satisfies the psychology of most people in angel and Phoenix company. The members of angel do not want to lock themselves completely in He Xi's chariot, so they take the initiative to set up an exclusive animation studio. Once the pirate king is over, the studio will be over.

But they put forward such opinion, Phoenix company is happy instead, angel does not want to lock up his future, but why does phoenix company want to continue to share more profits with others?

He Xi and angel cooperated to produce "pirate king", which is considered by many people in Phoenix company as an expedient measure. The main reason is that Phoenix company has not enough animation teams, but this situation will not continue forever. Now Phoenix company has begun to reserve future teams, assuming that He Xi will launch any new animation in the future, Most of them don't need the help of external forces.

In such a situation, the name of the studio directly uses the word "pirate" in "pirate king". Even the logo of the studio simply uses "skeleton in straw hat" - that is, the logo of the straw hat Pirate Group in the cartoon.

Of course, no matter what is behind the logo and cooperation, the announcement of this news has caused a huge sensation.

The forum of he Xizhi's home is about to fall out. The comic section of "pirate king" broke hundreds of pages in less than ten minutes after the news was released. When they learned that the comic was finally going to be animated, the comic fans felt like they were dreaming.

"The pirate king is going to be animated! Ha ha, it's going to be animated at last. I'll wait until all the flowers are gone! "

"Oh, my God, this is the best news I've got this year. I'm going out to celebrate with my classmates in the dormitory at night. They are so excited!"

"Our whole office is boiling," pirate king "ah, it's funny and hot-blooded, I've been looking forward to its animation! After so many years of waiting, it finally appears now! "

"I don't know if" pirate king "can be broadcasted before Chinese New Year. As soon as teacher He Xi comes back, he will watch a lot of animations. There will be a new animated film next month. I can't watch it!"

In addition to the forum, a variety of animation chat rooms also set off a wave of cheers. The only exception is Weibo, where people are always arguing.

The reason for this quarrel is that after hearing about it, angel fans made such a voice: "He Xi can't do the pirate king well, so he came to ask angel for help!"As soon as He Xi's fans saw this voice, they naturally began to argue: "Teacher He Xi cooperates with angels. It's obvious that He Xi is pitying them. How can he be an angel?"

In this way, the microblog became lively, the quarrel became more and more big, and even started a curse war. Of course, when the curse came back, all kinds of personal attacks and slanders about He Xi and the angels came.

That night, Qin Ya didn't come to paint. There were only Bai Han and Meng Huo in the studio.

Meng Huo turns on the computer and looks at the micro blog during the rest, which makes Bai Han look strange.

"Teacher, you..."

"What's the matter?"

"Don't you get angry when you watch these people scold you?"

Bai Han asked, there is a lot of content in the micro blog, she can't bear to see, what words are said.

Meng Huo's eyes left the computer and looked back at Bai Han: "Bai Han, there is no work that everyone likes, and there is no cartoonist that nobody scolds."

"But how can you still laugh?"

"Well?" Meng Huo said strangely, "did I laugh? Maybe it's because the reaction on the Internet is very positive. I feel like I've made the right decision. "

Bai Han didn't understand. Meng Huo pointed to the computer and said, "didn't you find that no one spoke ill of the pirate king?"

Although some people scolded him, none of these fans questioned that the cooperation between him and the angel would bring about poor animation quality, but only quarreled over the dominance of their cooperation.

This means that everyone believes in the quality of animation produced by him and the angel, and this trust is what Meng Huo wants. As long as there is trust, the audience will look forward to the pirate king.

Bai Han wants to continue to ask, but Meng Huo's mobile phone rings.

"Again." Meng Huo took out his mobile phone and saw that it was the secretary who called. This is the number of calls I don't know. After the animation news of the pirate king was released, the calls kept coming. Meng Huo set the anti riot function of his mobile phone, but someone still came to him through the secretary.

"Who is it this time?" Meng Huo got on the phone and asked, "didn't you say that most people don't use it to inform me?"

"Of course, Vice President... This is Mr. Guo from Ninghai TV station. I think you may want to answer his call." The Secretary said that he didn't want to disturb Meng Huo, but he selected some important guests for him.

Before that, both Tokyo TV and Suhua TV had already talked to Meng Huo on the phone, this time Ninghai TV.

"Guoletong?"

Meng Huo frowned. The person surnamed Guo he knew on Ninghai TV station was actually a guoletong.

"Yes, that's him." Secretary nodded: "vice president, do you need me to connect his phone?"

"... you take it!"

Meng Huo thought about it, but he asked his secretary to pick up the phone. While waiting for the connection, he stood up and told Bai han to continue painting, but he went outside.

The phone was transferred in less than a minute. For a long time, I didn't hear guoletong's voice. Obviously, the other party was much more enthusiastic.

"Teacher He Xi, you and the angel have such a big cooperation, why don't you give a notice in advance?" After the greetings, guoletong said his purpose: "since we are cooperating with angels, can we also participate in the premiere auction of the pirate king?"

This is Meng Huo's expected goal. The former Tokyo and Suhua TV stations are also interested in the premiere of "pirate king". By the way, they are also worried that if He Xi and angel cooperate and divide the two into five parts, then "pirate king" can't be said to be the exclusive animation of Phoenix company. Does that mean that more TV stations can compete for the premiere?

Ninghai and Xiangjiang TV stations, in particular, were on the same side with Zhongxia. They had already lost their mind on "the pirate king". However, the situation has suddenly changed, and they seem to be on the same starting line as Tokyo and Suhua TV stations.

"Minister of state, did Jiang Tianshi ask you to make this call?" Meng Huo asked.

"This... Really can't hide teacher He Xi." Guoletong smiles bitterly on the other side. As soon as he gets the news, he certainly can't call Meng Huo. Instead, he immediately asks Jiang Tianshi who is in charge of the new studio "pirate" and whether Ninghai TV station has a chance to get "pirate king".

However, Jiang Tianshi only answered his four words "strive for it as much as possible". The meaning of these four words is very simple, which means that Meng Huo is still in charge of the "Pirates" - so it is.

In the agreement between Meng Huo and Jiang Tianshi, the animation copyright of the pirate king is in his hands, including the first TV station. And because the revenue is 50% or 50%, Jiang Tianshi doesn't care where it's broadcast. Even if it's broadcast on Tokyo or Suhua TV station, it will increase the exposure and popularity of angels, and there's no harm.Jiang Tianshi knew that the premiere right was a hot potato, so he was willing to let it go. Because of this, guole Tong called Meng Huo again to test his ideas.

"I can't tell you the answer to the premiere question." Meng Huo replied to guoletong, "but I can explain to you that I treat all TV stations equally, so when the time comes, the animation will be broadcast on TV stations, and you can compete fairly with Suhua TV station."

Guoletong was overjoyed: "Teacher He Xi, are you serious?"

"Of course, seriously!" Meng Huo nodded, and then added in his heart: the premise is to broadcast on TV.

In fact, he already has a plan for the broadcast of "pirate king". This broadcast may be different from previous animations, and it may not be premiered on TV. So he played a text trap. When he answered to the national music children, he said that he could not answer the premiere, but he could answer the broadcast on TV.

Guoletong obviously didn't realize this writing trap. After Meng Huo's reply, he was overjoyed and determined to take down the pirate king no matter how much it cost.

After finishing the contact with Ninghai TV station, Meng Huo was about to return to the studio when his secretary came back with the news, this time from CCTV.

The content of CCTV's inquiry is the same as that of Ninghai TV station. Meng Huo also repeated it according to the reply just now, but what he didn't expect was that his answer would have an unexpected effect.

"Fair play?" After the call, Zuo Peng was stunned by his mobile phone. He Xi even said that he wanted all TV stations to compete fairly? Isn't he going to give Su Hua and Tokyo TV a discount?

"Deputy director, look at the answer..." Zuo Peng looked at deputy director Liu standing in front of him with inquiring eyes. The phone call just now was heard by the deputy director, and the deputy director's face was a little confused.

"It's a surprise that He Xi should have made such a decision."

The deputy director said, walking left and right for a few steps, and then said: "then we can not rush to throw the olive branch, and wait until the premiere right of the pirate king is decided."

He originally wanted Zuo Peng to give advice on strengthening cooperation to He Xi and Phoenix company in this phone call. After a few days of investigation, the deputy director of Taiwan already believed in the fact of the division of Zhongxia.

But now He Xi's point is that he obviously won't let the animation of "pirate king" go to two close TV stations. In this way, CCTV's olive branch can be a little slow. Since he is not partial to that side, it's useless for CCTV to show its kindness.

Moreover, if it is fair competition, CCTV is unlikely to lose to other TV stations. Assuming that they can win the premiere of the pirate king, they may not need to have closer ties with Phoenix.

The premiere right of a "pirate king" is enough to support a TV station. It can also guarantee CCTV's long-term animation audience rating, so that they have a stronger base to make other decisions. Even in the huge audience brought by "pirate king", they may once again develop their own original animation.

Although it may be only a dream to develop an original animation comparable to his in the world of Ho Xi, no matter what, CCTV doesn't have to be so anxious to make a choice. Even if it wants to make friends with Phoenix company, it can be slow now.

"Zuo Peng, go and see how many TV stations want to buy the premiere rights of the pirate king." Deputy director Liu ordered: "and... Try to find out the highest price they can offer, so that we can make preparations."

This deputy director has confidence in CCTV's financial resources and conditions, but if he has more confidence, this time the pirate king is not an ordinary animation, it is very likely to surpass the famous detective Conan and the little elf of Chong. As long as he is aware of this, other TV stations will surely win
