Big Manga - Chapter 908
Chapter 906 : The Immortal Sword Strikes
The development model centered on He Shi has led to Phoenix Company not producing animation works. Although the animations and movies they produced at the same time seem to be many, they are insignificant compared to Zhongxia.
With three cities, three animation departments, plus an animation company that is a joint venture with Zhongxia to adapt text adventure games, and DreamWorks, which was born less than half a year ago, Phoenix has only five places to produce animation.
Now Meng Huo has four directors in his hands. After a period of running-in, these four directors can easily meet his needs. So whether or not other directors should join is actually not very important to Meng Huo.
But he stayed with Alice in the next few days, got in touch with her better directors, and signed three more. These three are excellent directors. Although they are not needed for the time being, Phoenix will expand this year!
The addition of three directors is prepared, and it can also reduce the risk of directors leaving, but after signing these people, Meng Huo quickly closed the door to ‘demand’. For at least one or two years, he no longer needs to increase manpower.
In addition to this incident, as the box office of “The Magician of the Early Century” continues to expand, Meng Huo’s daily schedule has also become hectic. He has to personally participate in various seminars, celebration parties, and many activities within Phoenix.
And in order to cooperate with the promotion of “The Magician of the Early Century”, he also accepted some media interviews. For a long time, he could see his photos in the newspapers, which also made many fans hooked.
that’s all. The total box office of “The Magician of the Early Century” continued to increase in the eyes of everyone’s envy, breaking through one billion, 1.4 billion… And when it exceeded two billion, many animation companies couldn’t sit still. One after another announced the production of animated films.
Soon after, Zhongxia Company made the same decision. On Monday morning, July 22, they suddenly held a new work conference.
“In the second half of the year, we will release a theater version of “Flaming Boy”!” Yang Liang announced at the launch of the new work: “The name of this theater version of the movie is “Strikes of the Sword”, and all members of the angel will participate. Creation. The rest of the production lineup is also very luxurious.”
Produced by Zhongxia Company, the lineup will naturally be luxurious.
However, despite seeing too much of Zhongxia’s luxurious lineup. This time, the production lineup of “Sword Attack” also surprised everyone. In addition to the cutting-edge director and voice actors, as well as the music and special effects team, this film also has an unprecedented change-joint investment.
That’s right, the producers of “Sword Strikes” are not only Zhongxia Company, but also Star Dream and China’s two major movie theater distributors.
The composition of this producer made the reporters at the press conference take a deep breath. Terrible, it is terrible! Zhongxia Company has strong financial resources and has never needed other people to share their interests. It is more than enough to produce an animated film with their capabilities.
But why does the producer of “Sword Strikes” have several other companies? The answer is simple, and there is no doubt that this is because Zhongxia Company is pleased with these companies and wants to rely on their resources to establish a firm foothold in the film industry.
Star Dreams can provide the best production team, excellent news influence, and publicity for “Sword Attacks”, and the two major theaters directly affect the filming situation after the release of “Sword Attacks”-yes The help of these three companies, coupled with the super popularity of the original “flaming boy” animation. “Sword Strikes” is impossible without fire!
“This is to deal with Phoenix Company, right?”
All reporters couldn’t help but think so, “Sword Attack” is obviously aimed at Phoenix Company, according to this rhythm. It is highly likely to surpass the box office of “The Magician of the Early Century”.
“What kind of story is “Sword Attack”?” Meng Huo got news soon and was very interested in the content of this mysterious movie: “Isn’t “Flaming Boy” a martial arts movie?”
He still remembers the theme of “Flaming Boy”. Although the name contains the word “flame”, this animation is a thorough martial arts animation, and it has nothing to do with Xianxia in theory-in fact this world The works of Xianxia are not particularly mature.
“Like the literal meaning.” However, Alice, who told Meng Huo about this new work, brought him unfortunate news. The content of the movie “Sword Strikes” is exactly the story that revolves around an unearthed fairy sword.
This fairy sword has supreme power, in order to **** the fairy sword. There was a **** storm in the martial arts, and even many hermit sects couldn’t bear it.
“This is a fairy movie!” Meng Huo was speechless after listening. The plot of “Sword Attack” can be regarded as the fairy movie of the previous life, but there are still some differences-except for the fairy sword, the rest The martial arts of mortals are still used by the martial arts.
The fairy-xia system in this world has not been fully established, but it has sprouted. There is no work that fully adopts the world-view of the fairy-xia. However, in martial arts novels, the addition of some fairy chivalrous elements in the martial arts background seems to become more and more popular.
Sometimes Meng Huo thought, if he hadn’t been a cartoonist, maybe he could also be a fairy-xia novelist and drive the development of fairy-xia works in this world.
“Then what is the relationship between “Sword Attack” and “Flaming Boy”?” He then asked Alice.
“Judging from the information revealed at the press conference, this movie should be something similar to a copy of the game, and it will not affect the development of the original plot of “Flaming Boy”.” Alice turned over the information in her hand, “Sword Attacks” Although the protagonist of “Flaming Youth” is the same, the main enemies are all hermit sects born for the immortal sword.
These hermit schools do not exist in the original work, and can be regarded as tailor-made for the movie. In fact, the script of the movie has not yet been revealed, only a few brief introductions have been revealed. Alice guesses that the fairy sword will either be destroyed or disappear again (seal) in the end of the movie.
Come this way. The story of “Sword Strikes” becomes a copy that has nothing to do with the main line, which is very clever.
Meng Huo was not surprised. In fact, Phoenix adopted the same approach. The so-called theater version of the movie generally does not conflict with the original plot, and a small number of them are in the same line with the original, and he has not created it yet.
But after receiving the news of “The Immortal Sword”, unlike many outsiders’ predictions, Alice and Meng Huo actually breathed a sigh of relief in their hearts: “It’s great. I thought they were very good at “The Magician of the Early Century”. “The box office is indifferent!”
They are not afraid of Zhongxia’s actions. In fact, with such a high box office in “The Magician of the Early Century”, Phoenix had long expected that Zhongxia would not let this opportunity pass. Make money using “Flaming Boy” to make a movie.
This is expected. If Zhongxia does not do this, it will make Meng Huo worry about whether the other party has other secret countermeasures.
“The list of producers for “Sword Strikes” is not all bad, at least it can contain the star’s dream.”
Meng Huo assesses the composition of the producers of “Sword Strikes”. I feel that giving Zhongxia and Star Dreams an opportunity to change the status quo will allow them to suppress and reduce the pressure on Phoenix in other aspects.
In fact, if you only watch movies, the cooperation value of those companies is very high. They are very confident against Phoenix. Even Meng Huo thinks that the box office of “Sword Attack” is very likely to surpass “The Magician of the Early Century.” .
If that animation film is successful, it will also become the most profitable business of Zhongxia in recent years. Under such circumstances, neither Zhongxia nor Star Dreams would be in a hurry to’tear’ with Phoenix.
Alice also recognized this and was very happy: “This movie should also be good news for her.”
The last two months. With the popularity of “Dragon and Tiger”, Takashima Kako’s popularity is also rising rapidly, but the rate of increase is not as fast as imagined. This is not because she is unwilling. But companies like Star Dreams are using various channels to restrict Takashima Kako, and the entertainment industry is unwilling to see the appearance of Phoenix’s fourth popular female voice actor.
This was a side effect of Alice’s announcement that she was popular with Takashima Kako, and there was no way to avoid it. Fortunately, Takashima Kako has experienced a lot of ups and downs in the past, and now she is very resistant to pressure, and the embarrassment of others has not troubled her.
“How is she now?” Speaking of Takashima Kako, Meng Huo suddenly heard something: “I heard that she had an accident while she was performing.”
“Yeah. She sang out of sound on the stage, which caused a lot of criticism…”
Alice nodded. She gets angry when she thinks of the incident. It was a famous celebrity show with huge influence. Kako Takashima was especially happy when she was invited. Unexpectedly, after taking the stage, the stage organizer did tricks on her microphone, making her in front of countless audiences. Sing a song with an out-of-tune voice.
This kind of vicious suppression has not appeared in the Chinese entertainment industry for several years. Everyone knows that this kind of thing cannot be done. Once done, it will completely destroy a star and offend the company behind the star-so Alice is in It was also shocked after the incident.
Fortunately, Takashima Kako’s performance exceeded everyone’s expectations. After detecting the out of tune, she did not stop panicking, but sang the entire song in an out of tune voice. At first, the audience was quite dissatisfied, but after hearing it, everyone heard that the problem was not with Takashima Kako, but with the equipment.
“Thanks to her persistence, I was able to stabilize the situation in time.” Alice sighed. If Takashima Kako didn’t insist on singing the song, which moved some audiences, she really couldn’t deal with the loss caused by this accident.
The stage is the lifeblood of a singer. It is a fatal mistake for a singer to walk on the stage.
Meng Huo’s expression was a bit bad. Although the matter was not directed at him, he still felt very angry: “Did you find out who did it? Is it a celebrity dream?”
“It should be… I checked for a long time, and all the signs indicated that they were induced. The director of the star show was a classmate of Zhao Meng-this is what I learned afterwards.” Alice gritted her teeth and said, “Unfortunately, I couldn’t find it. Definite evidence, otherwise I have to teach him a lesson!”
The arrangement of the microphone was done by the director’s order, but the process was all verbal explanations, and there was no solid evidence, which made it difficult for Alice to do. In fact, if she can find evidence to expose the conspiracy of the star’s dream, not only can she thoroughly cleanse Takashima Kako, but she can also take advantage of this opportunity to praise her in one fell swoop.
“Have you strengthened your precautions now?”
Meng Huo asked again.
“Of course.” Alice nodded. She held an emergency meeting after the incident, reminding every seiyuu’s auxiliary team, especially Takashima Kako. The voice actors are unlikely to encounter this situation in the future, and when they are prepared, the star dreams dare not act easily.
“If they are so excessive, I will be able to get them out!” She assured Meng Huo.
Meng Huo was a little relieved, and then his face became cold again: “You just said that it was a director who led this incident, right? What’s his name?”
“Hu Yaotian.” Alice looked at Meng Huo strangely: “Why are you asking this?”
He can’t teach that director, right? Although the director was indeed excessive, it was impossible to teach him a lesson. He was a person who had nothing to do with the animation industry, and Phoenix could not teach him a lesson through normal channels.
Irregular channels are also unrealistic. First of all, it is not good to use illegal means. And the other party knew in his heart that he had offended the Phoenix Company, he would definitely be prepared, if Meng Huo attacked him, but he caught the handle, this would be even more of a loss.
“Don’t do it for the time being, don’t worry…” Meng Huo glanced at Alice, how can he not know what she was thinking but he would not be so stupid that he would do bad things to others: ” I just want to remember his name first, and there will definitely be a chance to teach him a lesson in the future.”
However, Meng Huo also understands the same truth. If others are bullied to your door and you have no response, you will definitely have to suffer even greater losses in the future. Voice actors are a very important resource for Phoenix, and they must not be bullied.
He really can’t teach that person a lesson now, but now is the present, and the future is the future. The phoenix four years ago was an ant, and the one four years later is now a well-deserved golden phoenix.
In four years, no one knows how far Phoenix Company will grow-and Meng Huo’s memory is amazing, as long as he remembers the name, he will never forget it in the future.
“I almost forgot his memory…” Alice stared at Meng Huo’s cold eyes. Although it was still hot, she felt like she was blown by the cold wind. Thinking of Meng Huo’s amazing memory, she couldn’t help but pray for the director.
“It’s not good for you to offend someone, but you want to offend him…”
She thought this way, the person who made Meng Huo angry in this world would be remembered for a lifetime by him. (To be continued)
