The Strongest Animator [Rebirth]

At [-] o'clock in the evening that day, there will be a celebration party for Huaying.

Mu Suxing has never been interested in this type of event, but Mu Xingxue is very persistent-although the celebration party is just a group of people eating, drinking, and talking about business, but thinking about it carefully, in the past three years of Huaying's development, it has indeed never been It is still necessary to properly exchange "feelings" with partners without holding similar activities.

"Are you going to communicate?"

"of course."

After Mu Xingxue said this, Mu Su Xing also calmed down. As long as he is not asked to deal with those people, it is easy to say how long the celebration banquet will be held.Because of this, when dozens of familiar or unfamiliar partners came over with wine glasses, Mu Xingxue pushed Mu Xingxue out without hesitation.

The partners present are obviously no strangers to the operation mode of Huaying Animation - the professional Gui Mu Xing Xing, and the rest can only learn from Mu Xing.

But Mu Xingxue is obviously a difficult master to deal with.

Those who have never offended Huaying before, it is okay to say, at most they just suffered a little loss in the negotiation-but considering that Huaying is now rising, it is said to be a profit, but in fact it is still a coveted win-win deal.As for the distributors who were embarrassing before, especially during the critical period of the development of "Hua Ying Manga"...

Several people looked at each other, and when their eyes fell on some restless people in the field, they felt a little more gloating.

Seeing that Mu Suxing whispered a few words to Mu Xingxue, he turned around and walked out. Everyone tactfully moved out of the way, knowing that he would not want to have an interview with the real master tonight, but at this time, originally Shepherd Xing, who was about to walk out of the door, seemed to have remembered something, and suddenly stopped in his tracks.

Mu Suxing said casually: "I heard that Boss Li has the intention to develop in the newspaper industry?"

Crowd:! ! !

Considering that the distributor of "Huaying Manga" in Xingning Province has not yet been confirmed, the meaning of these words could not be more obvious.In an instant, countless eyes of envy, jealousy and hatred fell on Li Mingrui. If the eyes had any substance, they might have pierced countless holes in him.

Li Mingrui was also stunned.

In fact, this is not the first time the two have mentioned this topic - the last time Mu Suxing took the initiative to bring up this business, it was when the channel dealer took advantage of the fire to rob. The two companies have always cooperated happily, and Li Mingrui had another intention He wanted to give charcoal in the snow, so he immediately patted his chest and said that as long as Huaying needs it, he is willing to accompany him at any time.

Li Mingrui knew in his heart that Mu Su Xing actually said that at the time, just to suppress the arrogance of the channel dealers, and he did not sell "Huaying Comics" in Xingning Province afterwards, so the cooperation naturally came to nothing .

To his surprise, Shepherd Xing still remembered this incident.

Although it hasn't been released yet, anyone with a discerning eye knows that with the current popularity of the Sherlock Holmes series and "The Fall of Las Vegas" just in time for the finale, the sales of "Hua Ying Manga" will definitely make a profit. The most important thing is , once the cooperation with "Huaying Manga" was reached, it can be said that his company directly climbed to the top of the channel provider on the first day of entering this industry!

With the development of computer technology, the audio-visual industry will only deteriorate day by day. Li Mingrui was already thinking about gradually transforming or opening up new markets. To him, Mu Suxing's move is almost equivalent to the sky. cake.

Li Mingrui took a deep breath, stabilized his nervous state of mind, and tried his best to remain calm and said, "That's right, we have already applied for the 'Publication Business Permit', which can be completed in about 3-5 days. It's just a matter of supply..."

"That's such a coincidence," Mu Suxing said casually, ""Hua Ying Manga" just happens to be short of a distributor. I wonder if Boss Li is interested?"

"Of course, it's my pleasure."

In a few words, the issue of the channel provider of "Huaying Manga" was finalized. Xing Musu didn't stay in the venue for a long time, nor did he look at anyone again, and left the venue directly.Li Mingrui, who was originally hovering far away from the crowd, got the opportunity to discuss cooperation details with Mu Xingxue under the envious eyes of everyone.

"Who is this person?" Someone couldn't help asking.

"It seems to be the CD distributor of Huaying Animation. It is said that when the incident of "Huying Comic" happened, the distributor who was originally scheduled had nothing to do. He said that he wanted to increase the share ratio, which annoyed Huaying. When Boss Mu called Today, the audio and video package was guaranteed on the spot, saying that as long as Huaying is willing, he is willing to expand the business scope of Huaying at will..."

Some people were indignant: "To put it bluntly, I was just lucky. If Boss Mu called me at that time, would I still refuse? Not everyone is as ignorant as those fools."

The few people did not deliberately lower their volume when they spoke, and because of this, the faces of the other group of parties they talked about—the channel dealers who had threatened to reduce the proportion of Huaying's share, suddenly looked even uglier.

But at this moment, they have no way to refute it, and they have no face to refute it - the superiors have already explained that no matter how much they pay, they must win the distribution rights of "Hua Ying Manga".

As long as the profit is huge enough, what's the point of bowing to Huaying?

-

I didn’t know that the high-spirited channel dealers in the past had already made the decision to “win the distribution rights of “Huaying Manga” no matter what”, and they would not take it to heart if they knew it—now the initiative is only in Huaying’s hands , although Mu Su Xing does not hold grudges, but he is not tolerant and generous enough to continue to cooperate with these channel providers.

In contrast, it is better to support a partner who has already cooperated well, at least it looks much more pleasing to the eye.

……

Three days later, the sixth issue of No.20 of Huaying Manga was officially released.

Baiyun Comics Editorial Department.

Jing Huahao sat alone on the sofa chair in the office, absently browsing through the electronic manuscripts compiled by the editors, and didn't even notice that the pen he was playing with had dropped to the floor.

He is waiting.

Waiting for a result, also waiting for a give up.

The door of the office was knocked without warning at this moment, Jing Huahao stood up all of a sudden, and opened his mouth and said, "How is it? What is the total sales volume of the latest issue of "Hua Ying Manga"?"

The door opened with a creak, and the editor who was asked was stunned for a moment, then quickly shook his head: "The sales volume of "Huaying Manga" hasn't come out yet..."

"Didn't come out?" Jing Huahao sat back on the chair in disappointment, frowned and said, "If you didn't come out, why did you come here?"

The editor looked hesitant: ""Night Watchman" is over, Mr. Meng Zhiyuan intends to terminate the contract with "Baiyun Comics", editor-in-chief, look..."

Meng Zhiyuan?

Jing Huahao remembered the comic author.

Meng Zhiyuan, once one of the pillar-level cartoon authors of "Baiyun Comics", unfortunately, after the end of the previous work, the response of the new work "Night Watchman" was mediocre, and the reader's popularity vote has always remained in the bottom two.When Mu Su Xing came to discuss the animation copyright of "Night Watchman" in person, Jing Huahao also had hope for "Night Watch Man" based on his trust in Mu Su Xing.

Anyway, Meng Zhiyuan is an author who has drawn phenomenal cartoons, maybe "Night Watchman" is just a slow rise?

With this in mind, when Baiyun Culture and Huaying Animation talked about the final step of the animation copyright of "Night Watchman", they resolutely changed their minds and handed it over to Yunsu Animation, which offered a higher price——"Night Watch" produced by Yunsu Animation The Night Watchman was broadcast some time ago, but it was a pity that it also failed to stir up any splash among the audience.

But it was in such a situation that he couldn't rush any more, Meng Zhiyuan told his editor brazenly that he would continue to draw the second part of "The Night Watchman".

Because of this matter, Jing Huahao often tried to persuade Meng Zhiyuan, but it was a pity that the other party insisted on going his own way. Over time, Jing Huahao became a little angry, and now Meng Zhiyuan offered to terminate the contract...

He thought of "The Night Watchman", which had received no response in the past two years, and his expression became more and more impatient: "Then terminate the contract, and you can make your own decision on such a small matter. Tell me what to do? Do you still expect me to keep him?"

Seeing the displeasure of his editor-in-chief, the editor bit the bullet and continued: "That's right, Mr. Meng hopes that I can ask on his behalf, if "The Night Watchman" continues to draw the second part, how will the copyright be calculated then?"

With the popularity of "Night Watchman", which comic magazine is willing to give him the opportunity to draw the second part?Jing Huahao snorted, and said without thinking: "Of course the copyright of his works after he left "Baiyun Comics" belongs to him. If you are still worried, I can add this to the contract."

The editor nodded, turned around and went out to inform.

At the same time, the sales of the sixth issue of "Hua Ying Manga" No.20 were also announced——

1300 million.

Rao Jing Huahao had prepared early in the morning for the sales volume of "Huaying Comics" to surpass that of "Baiyun Comics". When he reached the number of double kills, he was still in a daze.

Too high.

If it is 800 million, or 900 million, Jing Huahao can barely hold the idea of ​​"relying on the discovery of new comic authors", with the hope that one day he will overtake "Huaying Comics", but 1300 million...

Jing Huahao rubbed his forehead and leaned helplessly on the back of the chair behind him.

It was at this moment that he clearly realized that the current momentum of "Hua Ying Manga" was no longer something they could stop.

If you don't fly, it's all right, soar into the sky.

At the same time, knowing that the app ranked first in the search list, "Hua Ying Manga" also appeared——

Deserved.

In terms of the quality of the comics serialized on "Huaying Comics", it is not surprising that it has achieved a sales volume of 1300 million. Not to mention other comics, only one Sherlock Holmes series is enough for "Huaying Comics" to stand out from the crowd.

The other answerers have analyzed a lot of specifics, so I won't repeat them here.As a member of this industry, I would like to say a few words from another perspective—if I had to use one sentence to describe the impact of the high sales volume of "Huaying Comics" on the comics industry, this sentence should be——

Its daybreak.

That's right, it's dawn.

Those who don’t know the inside story may think that I’m exaggerating. In fact, as long as you, as a comic author, have drawn serials for any other weekly magazine that is not "Hua Ying Manga", you will understand what it feels like: popularity first, serial The manga with the lowest popularity ranking in the three issues was directly cut in half. The exclusive system in the contract guaranteed the interests of the magazine, but made the manga authors lose the guarantee of writing.

During the serialization period, he didn't understand the author's ups and downs, and blindly asked the author to squeeze out all his energy.Finally, when it was time to end, the manga was also required to continue serialization because of its high popularity, until the manga itself was squeezed out of popularity, and finally ended sloppily.

In the past, comic book authors were honestly squeezed because the world is as black as crows, and there is no choice.In the past, although the contract of "Hua Ying Manga" was superior, but its own background was not enough, it was not attractive to comic authors. Even newcomers mostly used "Hua Ying Manga" as a springboard.

But it's different now.

The sales volume of 1300 million means that from now on, "Hua Ying Manga" is no longer a new magazine that has no resistance to the old three major comic magazines - in other words, for those who are dissatisfied with the old three major comic magazines For long-standing comic book authors, they have another choice.

On the other hand, for the three old comic magazines, as long as they want to retain their great writers and find potential newcomers, their contract restrictions must be guaranteed to be at the same level as "Huaying Comics", and That is to say, even if some authors are reluctant to leave the original comic magazine due to nostalgia, they will no longer be squeezed and forced by the original.

Its daybreak.

-

At the same time, the editorial department of Flame Spirit comics.

"We've come this far..." Chang Tianlu let out a long sigh as his eyes fell on the new version of the contract that had been discussed and finalized at the company meeting, and he couldn't tell what mood he was in at the moment.

As expected?Or is it so?

Chang Tianlu had thought about this possibility when he first received the news that Zhuo Liming had switched to "Hua Ying Manga"—once "Hua Ying Manga" reached the same level as the three old magazines, the entire industry would inevitably follow suit. There was a change, but at that time Chang Tianlu never imagined that his whimsical thoughts would become reality within reach.

"Editor-in-chief!"

Chang Tianlu was in a trance, when a strange voice suddenly sounded outside the open office door—it was a young man in his early 20s, who looked familiar.

Seems like a new author?

Just as this thought flashed through his mind, the next second, the panting young man stopped and stood in front of him.

Chang Tianlu: "What's the matter?"

The young man pursed his lips, as if he had made some important decision, and bowed to him: "Editor-in-chief, please give me another chance! I..."

Before the young man finished speaking, he was interrupted by the editor who arrived later: "Mr. Mo, the elimination system for the last place is a rule established by our "Flame Manga" since its inception. It has been ranked at the bottom of the readers' popularity vote for five consecutive issues, and with all due respect, we have given you enough opportunities."

"No," the young man said anxiously: "The previous plot is just foreshadowing. The real plot of this comic has not yet fully unfolded. Believe me, the latter will be really exciting!"

"That's what every author who wants a chance says, but it turns out that in comics, most slowness is tantamount to boredom—" The editor probably had a good relationship with the young man, and then He softened his tone, and said helplessly, "Xiao Mo, I know you just graduated and are eager to prove yourself, but things like comics should not be rushed for a while. You are still young, and you will have plenty of opportunities in the future."

"But……"

Chang Tianlu remained silent.

According to the regulations of Flame Spirit comics, every comic author is in charge of a dedicated comic editor. In other words, even if there is something wrong, the author in front of him should go to his own editor to solve it instead of making a fuss with him.

but……

Chang Tianlu felt that he probably had some demonic obstacles.

Like the words of the young man in front of him, since the day he entered the industry, he has already heard his ears callused. However, for some reason, for a moment, an interview he had accidentally seen in Anime Weekly , suddenly appeared in his mind——

"I say this not to hope that animation companies will give up low-risk animation projects and take risks instead, but I hope that both capital and audiences can be more patient with this type of work, and not because of the beginning or temporary. If you are depressed, you will give the work a boring death sentence.”

The young man lowered his head and let the editor take him out of the office.

"Wait a minute." Chang Tianlu said suddenly.

"Editor-in-chief?"

"Go and get your manga," Chang Tianlu said calmly, looking at the dejected young man in front of him, "Since you think your manga is slower and the follow-up plot is more exciting, then tell me the follow-up story now." I'll listen—if the plot of the manga impresses me, I'll give you the chance to continue serializing."

……

"The exclusive system should also be removed? What about comic creation? Will the author be given complete creative rights? In this way, will the loss to the magazine be too great? If a comic author contributes to other comic magazines at the same time, it will lead to us What should I do if the quality of my serialized works declines? This is too passive!"

"Don't I know about this problem?" Jing Huahao also became irritable in the huge conference room: "Now that all comic magazines are changing, do you think we still have a choice?"

In the conference room, the drafting of the terms of the new contract was still in dispute. Outside the hall separated by a wall, Meng Zhiyuan walked out slowly with a contract representing graduation.

As one of the veteran authors of "Baiyun Comics", Meng Zhiyuan's popularity in the editorial department is quite good. When he came out now, people kept greeting him with smiles along the way.Meng Zhiyuan froze for a moment, and then showed a slightly forced smile.

He stood still outside the gate of the Baiyun editorial department, and took a last look at the place where he had been working for nearly ten years without realizing it.

After all...it's over.

Meng Zhiyuan didn't know what mood he was in at the moment.

relief?have.Happy?It doesn't seem to be the case.

It's not that he doesn't dislike the overlord clause of "Baiyun Comics", nor is it that he is indifferent to Baiyun Culture's decision-making that does not take into account his personal feelings and wishes. Of course, there is resentment accumulated over the past ten years, but the hard work that has been done for so many years can't be faked. of.

Unfortunately, it's all over.

Meng Zhiyuan closed his eyes, then opened them again.He turned around, stopped looking back, and walked towards the busy street.

Just stopped a taxi on the street, and then sat down in the back seat, the phone in his pocket vibrated, he took out the phone, and saw the incoming call notification on the phone screen at a glance——

Zhuo Liming.

This made Meng Zhiyuan smile subconsciously. The phone call from his old friend undoubtedly made his slightly melancholy mood a lot better at the moment. He connected the phone and was about to chat with the other party, but there was a sudden sentence: "San Que One, Lao Meng, do you want to play mahjong together?"
