"Teacher He Xi, long time no see."

That evening, the banquet was held on time. When Meng Huo was talking with several leaders of TV TOKYO, several people approached him.

"Long time no see, Miss Masako."

Meng Huo heard the voice and turned his head to look. It turned out to be someone he knew, Xia Chuan Masako, the female artist who borrowed the stage when he first came to Jidong. He also asked her to participate in the dubbing of the animation two years ago. But in the past two years, the two have not had any contact at all.

After two years of absence, Masako Xiachuan has changed a lot. She was more like a girl in Meng Huo's impression, but now she has a sense of maturity and melancholy, exuding the breath of an adult woman. Last time I saw her, Ms. Masako was still full of confidence, and now she can tell from her face that her career is not developing smoothly.

This can also be verified from her agent.

"Miss Suzuki, long time no see." Meng Huo nodded to the agent, and the female agent barely smiled: "Long time no see, teacher He Xi."

There was also worry on her face, but Meng Huo's relationship with them can only be said to be acquaintance, and he has not had contact with them a few times, so he didn't want to go into the reasons for their strange faces. And compared to these two people, Meng Huo was more interested in the people in front: Alice and a man in his forties and fifty years old came over talking and laughing.

"Are you... Mr. Fukuyama?"

When they walked in front of them, Meng Huo searched his memory, and first said the man's name.

This man is the same as Natsukawa Masako. Both Meng Huo met several years ago. He seemed to be a friend of Alice, and he was able to use Masako's stage performances when he was helped-but Meng Huo had less contact with him. Only had a fate a few years ago.

"Unexpectedly, it was just a fate of four years ago. Teacher He Xi could remember me!" Fukuyama and Meng Huo shook hands with surprise and panic. After such a long time, He Xi remembered him. Name, this fact makes him so surprised and proud!

Meng Huo is a star in the hotel, in this hotel where TV station leaders, media representatives, cartoonists and some artists and experts are gathered. Everyone is paying attention to his every move, his words just now. What Fukuyama said just now about the fate of one side attracted people's attention to him in an instant.

"Four years ago, the fate of one side was remembered by Teacher He Xi? Who is this man?"

"He's really lucky, did you see it? The person who greeted him just now was Miss Alice, who is in charge of the Phoenix Voice Actors Office. It seems that his identity is unusual..."

It seemed to hear the discussion from the surrounding audience. Fukuyama couldn't help but straightened his chest to make himself look higher.

"What, it's just an ordinary agent..."

Some people from the entertainment company in the hotel couldn't help muttering sourly. Of course they knew what was going on. Four years ago, Alice, who left the entertainment industry, suddenly wanted her friends in Tokyo to help provide a stage for He Shi, but everyone thought that she had left the entertainment industry, so few people paid attention to it, and Fukuyama seized the opportunity. .

He helped to provide He Xi with a small stage. He did not expect this favor to be remembered by He Xi all the time. Even four years later, he still remembers his name.

"Damn it, I knew I should have helped!" At this moment, I don't know how many people are screaming in their hearts. Being able to be remembered by He Xi is a remarkable thing in Tokyo.

Today is different. He Xi is no longer a little figure that few people knew about four years ago. Now everyone knows his power, especially in the entertainment industry—the voice actors and animations of Phoenix Company, and even movies, are gradually eroding. The entertainment market. There have been many discussions on the'Why Threat Theory'.

Some people say that the emergence of voice actors and animation is a revolution, even if it does not ruin the entertainment industry. It will also overturn the future of China Entertainment. And the most terrifying thing is that China's hottest star with bare hands is not a shame in the nature of its influence. Although this cartoonist is not a star, he has an influence that a star cannot match.

His number of fans and readers is not less than that of first-class stars, but his cohesion and loyalty far exceed those of any star. Many people even believe that if He Xi enters the entertainment industry and receives professional training and operation, no one at China Entertainment will be able to match him-he is a natural idol.

Many guests envied Fukuyama's luck for this. He was remembered by He Xi. If he could take this opportunity to invite He Xi to do a performance, he would have made a lot of money. Even if you don't do a show, there are many benefits to have a good relationship with He Xi and Phoenix, not to mention that it can also please Suhua TV station by the way.

Fukuyama's thinking is exactly the same. He is not greedy, so after chatting with Meng Huo for a few words, he smiled and gave him to other guests. Meng Huo is today's protagonist. Fukuyama stood by and watched the young man and other guests question each other. He couldn't help but sigh: "A few years ago, I never thought he would become such a big man."

At that time, he was only helping with Alice’s friendship, and he didn’t know anything about the cartoonist, and to be honest, even if he knew it, he wouldn’t care too much—because the Phoenix Company and his company at that time were half a cat. , They are not particularly powerful companies. What is so great about a cartoonist in such a company.

But now the situation has changed. Phoenix is ​​already a behemoth. It’s the cherry blossom animation that produced "Detective Conan" in Tokyo alone. Its economic benefits have surpassed that of Fukuyama's brokerage company. Speaking of the entire Phoenix company-that It's the big business he must look up to.

The world is developing so fast that Fukuyama feels like he is in a dream.

"You are Mr. Fukuyama, right?"

At this time, a man walked over, and he reached out and handed out his business card to Fukuyama, but he knew his identity without looking at Fukuyama: he was the chief director of TV TOKYO's "Today's Star" column, which has a very high ratings in the Far East. , Will only invite the most famous stars to debut.

"Mr. Fukuyama is not Shimada's agent now, right?"

The man asked, Fukuyama suddenly became excited. He seemed to have expected something, and quickly nodded and said: "Yes, I am Mr. Muto's agent now."

Fukuyama’s original artist was Shimada. This is the most powerful male star in their company. However, because of some conflicts between the two, Fukuyama has not acted as Shimada’s agent since last year, but has cultivated a middle-level company in the company. Level star.

The star’s surname is Muto, and he has a good temperament, but he is not well-known and has never appeared on TV Tokyo’s good shows.

"Muto-san? Well... he's a bit mediocre..." The man frowned slightly, and when Fukuyama was pulling his heart, he laughed: "But I'm quite interested in him. Mr. Fukuyama can bring him when he has time. Our TV station sits down and I want to ask him if he is interested in participating in our program recording."

"Yes, of course!" Fukuyama yelled in his heart, but he still hid the joy on his face and nodded steadily: "Of course, I will take him to visit!"

He knew in his heart that the man would look for him not because of Muto, but because of the conversation between him and He Xi just now, which caused the big man in this TV station to misunderstand their relationship and deliberately draw him. The effect of the cooperation between TV TOKYO and Phoenix Company has already appeared, and the TV station will gradually pull in the relationship with Phoenix Company in all aspects.

The man sent an invitation to Fukuyama, all because of He Xi's face, he said a few words to Fukuyama, and then left with a smile.

"...Today is right!"

Fukuyama was happy, he looked up, and there were people from Xiachuan Masako and his agent who passed by, and it seemed that they were also welcomed.

The circle atmosphere of this celebration banquet is very obvious. The celebration of "Detective Conan" is only superficial, but in fact it is to cultivate a small circle. Whether it is TV TOKYO or Sakura Company, they will help shape the circle. Only when the circle has influence, everyone present hopes to use this opportunity to broaden the social circle.

"But there is really no gloomy atmosphere..."

After carefully observing the banquet, Fukuyama was a little surprised. The news that "Detective Conan" ended in the media today was not so good. He thought he would feel a boring atmosphere when he came to the scene. As a result, when I saw it in the hotel, everyone Generally don't care about this.

The atmosphere of the hotel is very lively~www.ltnovel.com~ The guests gathered together more or less, introduced each other, talked and laughed, and took the opportunity to expand their network. Some animation companies were also invited. Representatives of these animation companies We gathered around a few well-known cartoonists, Takashima Takako and others, as if they were discussing the issue of animation cooperation.

Phoenix's attitude changed a few months ago. They opened up the copyright of comics and lowered prices to promote voice actors. Instead, they only produced He Shi's works. In this way, a large number of animation companies stood with them.

However, most of the guests here are from TV TOKYO and Sakura, and they probably don't want to be depressed. Especially for TV Tokyo, no matter what the newspapers say, the end of "Detective Conan" is a good thing for them, at least it can guarantee the smooth broadcast of "Mobile Suit Gundam 00".

TV Tokyo’s expectations for "Mobile Suit Gundam 00" can be seen by others at a glance. Animation production has just started, but it started advertising a few days ago, and even replaced the prime time commercials with "Mobile Suit Gundam 00". The promotional show of "Warrior Gundam 00" is said to continue until the first broadcast of this animation.

The previous life-to-animation "Light Tone Girl" was a big success, which made TV TOKYO even more impatient for the new Gundam. (To be continued)
