Chapter 181: : Hidden Cartoonist

It took Shen Jie a day to trick two roommates back to school.

On Sunday, Phoenix has a collective holiday. Some departments have been working for two consecutive weeks. No amount of overtime pay can compensate employees for their grievances.

Meng Huo also didn't have to go to work, which made Shen Jie happy. She planned to do something, but just after breakfast, Meng Huo put on his coat and went out.

"What are you going to do?"

Shen Jie followed up and asked.

"Go and see a CCTV director." Meng Huo turned around and replied: "She wants the animation copyright of "Detective Conan". I have to meet her."

In order to prove his words, Meng Huo took out his business card and showed it to Shen Jie, and asked, "What else do you have?"

"No." Shen Jie looked very lost.

She felt that she had been hit, but even if she knew that Meng Huo deliberately avoided her, Shen Jie still couldn't stop him from working. She didn't want to make Meng Huo angry.

"Bon Voyage."

With a reluctant smile, Shen Jie stood at the door watching Meng Huo leave.

She was very sad. Although she could ask for leave from school, it was actually very difficult to spend two days a week with Meng Huo.

Shen Jie’s life is very busy. In five working days, she took a day off to dub at Phoenix Company, and she had to learn singing skills with Huang Ye every day. In order to prevent falling behind others in school, the girl has less than five hours of sleep.

But Shen Jie has never felt that this kind of life is not good. As long as she can be with Meng Huo on vacation, she will be willing to be busy no matter how busy she is. It's a pity that they haven't had much contact in the past two days, which left Shen Jie's heart empty. She wasted two days in vain.

She will be back to school in the afternoon. But obviously... Meng Huo will not come back.

Phoenix Company. Except for a few security guards and front desk girls, the whole building is quiet.

Here, Meng Huo met Su Yuhua, the female director of CCTV Animation. This is a capable woman, wearing glasses, her appearance is about 30 years old, but the actual age may be more than 40 years old.

After greeting, the two talked about animation.

"I want to ask first." Meng Huo asked first: "The animation of "Detective Conan", is this the meaning of you or the CCTV animation group?"

Su Yuhua glanced at Meng Huo unexpectedly. He smiled and said, "Although Mr. He Xi is young, he thinks very much like adults. Frankly speaking, the animation of Detective Conan is indeed the decision of the entire animation team."

"Teacher He Xi's "Pokemon" was treated unfairly. This is our mistake. We want to apologize to you through this new animation."

Su Yuhua's words sounded very comfortable.

But Meng Huo couldn't fully accept this statement. CCTV wanted to apologize to him. Why didn't CCTV apologize directly or express it in other ways, but wanted to adapt his animation?

It seems to be taken for granted, but the popularity of "Pokemon" has caused many media to question CCTV animation. They want the copyright of "Detective Conan", perhaps to clean up their own stains.

However, Su Yuhua's attitude was fairly polite, and Meng Huo didn't think deeply about it. Regardless of the purpose of CCTV, it is not wrong for it to come to him for cooperation.

"How do you plan to buy "Detective Conan"?"

Meng Huo asked.

"1.5 million per episode. One-time buyout." Su Yuhua reported a number. The price of 2 million is very good for ordinary comics, but it is a bit less for "Detective Conan".

"Can it be divided?"

Meng Huo asked.

"Shared?" Su Yuhua immediately refused: "We don't accept the share, how about 2 million? This is the highest price. We have to adapt and produce animations, and the budget is not enough."

Her expression was solemn, and the next step was the highlight. In fact, the price was not nailed to two million. Su Yuhua first stated a lower price, and then Meng Huo would definitely increase the price.

This is a process of bargaining and compromise, which used to be very troublesome. However, Su Yuhua did not expect that Meng Huo's answer turned out to be-"Okay, there is no problem with the price, but I have the conditions."

Hearing these words, Su Yuhua shook her head in her heart. He was a child, and he believed it when someone said a number.

"Tell me, what are the conditions?"

"Let me be the deputy director..." Meng Huo said slowly: "I am solely responsible for the soundtrack. As long as these two conditions are agreed, I will hand over "Detective Conan" to you."

He doesn't care how much profit "Detective Conan" can make. Meng Huo can accept this figure of 2 million, but he is very worried that CCTV will make a bad animation.

The best way, of course, is to participate in and watch by yourself.

"Associate director?" But after hearing the conditions, Su Yuhua's face became cold: "He Xi, the deputy director of CCTV won't hand it over to others casually. Take back this sentence..."

"As for the soundtrack, we have a very good music team, and you don't need to intervene."

Su Yuhua looked at Meng Huo's slightly frowned eyebrows and continued to add: "I think you may have misunderstood, we want the animation copyright of "Detective Conan", including the subsequent value of animation, music, live-action movies, etc..."

"We want to buy out all at once."

Meng Huo was stunned: "What do you mean... Do I only have the copyright of the comics?"

"You still have a game copyright."

Su Yuhua replied faintly, Meng Huo almost laughed, how is this animation, CCTV took all the copyright, it was a robbery!

"Sorry." He said, "I won't agree to your terms."

"No?" Su Yuhua's face became colder: "I suggest that Teacher He Xi seriously consider it. It is an honor for your animation to be broadcast on CCTV."

"We have the largest audience and the best channel. As long as "Detective Conan" is broadcast on CCTV, Mr. He Xi, you can become a well-known cartoonist in China."

"Although we and CCTV News are not in the same department, we are usually in contact with each other, so why do we regret that the teacher does a few more advertisements."

Her eyes looked at Meng Huo with a smile but a smile. It's impossible for this young man to know how much the news brought to Phoenix last time. How could he refuse to be tempted?

"If Teacher He Xi is unwilling, then we have to find a cartoonist from Zhongxia Company."

Su Yuhua does both soft and hard, which makes

Meng Huo is very upset, she wants to threaten him?

Indeed, he has seen the power of CCTV news, but can the news be posted casually? If it weren't for the sales miracle of "Five Centimeters Per Second", how much influence can it have even if it's on the news?

"The Couple of Cat and Mouse" has been broadcast on CCTV news many times, but it still can't beat "Pokemon". Propaganda is very important, but more important is strength, and Meng Huo doesn't like to show his face. There are too many CCTV news, and he doesn't want it yet.

In just six months, Meng Huo went from scratch to the present. His future is still very long, even if the speed is a little slower, in one or two years, he will definitely be the blue ocean in China's comic market. Does he need CCTV's support?

The company has gone through the most dangerous moment, and Meng Huo is now very confident.

"Find whoever you like..." He replied: "If I can't participate in the production and supervision of "Detective Conan", I won't sell it."

Meng Huo's words made Su Yuhua secretly angry. He reminded this young man that he was still so stubborn. Should he be stupid or stupid?

She sneered.

"Teacher He Xi, I don't think you understand the situation yet."

"Do you really consider yourself to be China's No. 1 cartoonist? If so, then you are very wrong! If "Pokemon" had not caused controversy, our CCTV animation department would not choose your cartoon at all."

When she said this, Meng Huo had fully understood it, and sure enough, the starting point of CCTV was still for themselves.

But Su Yuhua's words have not stopped.

"Zhongxia Company has been established for a few months. Teacher He Xi is very clear about its strength, but you definitely don't know one thing." Su Yuhua raised his eyebrows and said: "The elite cartoonists of Zhongxia Comics have not yet come out. They launched All comics in the series are the works of ordinary cartoonists."

"The first batch of comics graduates from Yenching University is the highest quality group, especially the top ten are all elites. I have seen the work of the fourth comic artist. His drawing skills are definitely not inferior to that of Mr. He Xi. !"

Meng Huo was stunned.

There were waves in his heart, and Su Yuhua's words might be true. Meng Huo had this feeling for a long time. Zhongxia Company is coming aggressively, but strangely there are no outstanding cartoonists.

This is obviously abnormal, and Zhongxia Comics did not expend resources to favor the action of a cartoonist. For them, it should be a simple matter to become popular with a cartoonist.

They didn't do this. Meng Huo always wondered if it was because the outstanding cartoonist hadn't come out yet. The first thing after the establishment of Zhongxia Company is to enrich the library and develop magazine readers.

Relying on dense bookstore channels, Zhongxia has already completed this step. If it wants to develop further, it will be about the time to launch its signature cartoonist.

"Don't underestimate those elites, Zhongxia Company has equipped each of them with a studio, which is responsible for researching their comic content and marketing. The launch of the new serial will surely make a sensation in the market."

"They may not have as much control over the content as you~www.ltnovel.com~ but there is a team behind them. What a pity, you have no chance of winning!"

Su Yuhua warned.

"If those cartoonists come out and we choose their cartoons to make animations. What a shame, teacher, you are very dangerous. You are not as good as them in funding, channels, and promotion..."

"Teacher He Xi, think about it, you can give us "Detective Conan" to have a chance to survive when they come out!"

But Meng Huo was not listening to Su Yuhua's words, and there was still a powerful cartoonist in Zhongxia that did not appear. This incident attracted his attention.

What kind of person will it be?

Meng Huo wanted to meet these people very much. He even wondered if there were no good cartoonists in several other areas of China.

"It seems I have to work hard..."

Meng Huo has a new fighting spirit. (To be continued...)
