Chapter 127: The Annual Meeting with Schrödinger's Cat

After the end of the day's activities, in the evening, Tianjiao Club rewarded the serial authors who had achieved various reward conditions in this new cycle.

Because Meng Zhe took the initiative not to participate in the selection, the most fruitful domestic cartoonist became Hu Qianrong and the free bird Jiang Ling's "Princess Huanzhu", although "Infinite Horror" and other excellent new serials continue to emerge, so in the first half of the year, basically did not fall out of the top three "Princess Huanzhu", and now the ranking has been hovering in the fifth or sixth.

However, the sales of the single book of "Princess Huanzhu" have been very good, and the number of most popular votes accumulated over the past year has steadily ranked first among all old serials.

Since "Sword of Immortals" was made into a TV animation, readers have been writing to ask when "Princess Huanzhu" will be animated, and even avid fans have expressed their willingness to invest...... Of course, after learning about the amount of money needed to produce TV animation, the people who expressed their willingness to invest were basically silent.

And Hu Qianrong and Jiang Ling, after receiving the 20,000 yuan award awarded by Kong Lan himself, expressed their excitement when they delivered their acceptance speeches, saying that they would continue to draw hard, and hoped to see this comic become a TV animation one day...... When Meng Zhe replied to the reader named Tu Fei in the afternoon, the sentence "Good-looking comics, Jiji Animation Studio will consider making them into TV animations for broadcast......" has spread among serialized cartoonists, which makes the serialized cartoonists very excited.

Looking at "Sword of Immortals" and "I Am Legend", which have skyrocketing ratings, how can everyone not have ideas? Because Meng Zhe instilled the concept of ACG to everyone a very early on...... Because of Jiji Animation Studio, Kong Lan was tossed by Meng Zhe without interference at all, Hu Qianrong and Jiang Ling naturally said this to Meng Zhe.

All the serial cartoonists, after Hu Qianrong and the two finished speaking, they all paid attention to Meng Zhe, in this case, of course, Meng Zhe had to stand up and say a few words.

"Rest assured, just like I said to the little girl Tu Fei who cosed Han Lingsha in the afternoon, the good-looking and popular comics are all considered by Jiji Animation Studio to make animations! The reason why I took my two works first.,I'm just afraid that if I take everyone's comics.,If you succeed or fail, you'll be sorry for the big guy.。 Now it seems...... The situation is not bad, so after the production of the second season of "Sword of Immortals" is completed, the animation studio will select one of everyone's serialized comics and make it into a TV animation! ”

Before Meng Zhe's words were finished, Zhang Cheng's guy couldn't wait to shout: "Boss! Hey, boss! Let's animate my Dragon Man first! I have a unique spirit of selflessness and self-interest, really...... I won't say anything if I fail.,As long as I can make a TV animation, then I'm dead and I can laugh at Jiuquan.,Wow! Of course, if a hundred years later, Sister Xiaoyue can smile with me, then the world will be completely perfect. ”

"Die! Zhang Cheng, you guy, die! Who, who's going to laugh with you......"

Luo Xiaoyue, who was specially mentioned by Zhang Cheng, made a fuss.

The others were amused by Zhang Cheng's half-truth joke, and said that even if the animation failed, it didn't matter, as long as it could make a cartoon that could be seen by the whole country.

Everyone is sincere.,Although everyone is because of the existence of Tianjiao Club and "Anime Boy", so they earn comic manuscript remuneration that they couldn't even imagine, but everyone's dream is still very simple and simple - draw comics, draw comics that you want to draw and readers like.

As for animation, if it weren't for Meng Zhe who drummed up Jiji Animation Studio and successfully produced "Sword of Immortals" and "i-am-legend", there would probably be no one among these local cartoonists who would have thought about such a thing that they would never have dared to think of!

Meng Zhe also laughed twice, and then said: "After the Lunar New Year, the reader survey of "Anime Boys" will add the option of 'comics that I want to animate the most'. ”

Although Meng Zhe didn't finish his words, it is obvious that his subtext is "Whoever has the first vote at that time will animate whose comics"!

This is actually something that can't be helped.,After all, Jiji Animation Studio is still at the stage of 'Lao Tzu's team has just opened.,More than a dozen people come to seven or eight guns',So it's completely unrealistic to animate all the serialized comics in one go...... Hmm, why don't you give the unsuccessful comic works a radio drama or a stage play or something?

In his heart, Meng Zhe thought like this, and the more he thought about it, the more he felt that his thinking was correct - speaking of which, although he had already started to do TV animation, radio dramas and stage plays or something, he really hadn't started to do them yet.

But then again, being able to draw comics is due to more than ten years of hard work before being reborn.,I can do animation because I watched a lot of anime before I was reborn.,And some anime even watched it more than once, so I can draw cats and tigers...... But radio dramas and stage plays, Meng Zhe is a complete layman!

In fact, these things are actually not difficult to solve, as long as you have money, people who can do these things can always be found, right?

Of course, this kind of thing doesn't need to be bothered for the time being, and now just guiding the drawing of comics and making animations has almost exhausted all of Meng Zhe's energy.

Let's stay up for another year or two!

After another year or two, about Jiji Animation Studio, you will be able to grow up qualified animation production talents, and then you won't have to work so hard and get twice the result with half the effort.

After gritting his teeth, Meng Zhe began to reveal the 'most popular foreign serialized cartoonist' - since it is divided into the 'domestic serialized cartoonist group', then there is naturally a corresponding 'foreign serialized cartoonist' group.

Although the foreigners serialized in Tianjiao Club are actually only the two great gods of Eiichiro Oda and Kishimoto Saishi, this award is still to be awarded, isn't it?

Therefore, the title of "the most popular foreign serialized manga artist" quickly fell on the head of Eiichiro Oda. Eiichiro Oda's "One-Piece" has still gained a lot in both serialization and single-line books, even if it has changed some of the background and serialization country, and has also successfully landed on Shueisha's "Shonen Jump".

Even, there is already an animation production company on the side of the book, and Shueisha has proposed a plan to make "0ne-piece" into an animation. It's just that because the copyright part of "OP" belongs to Meng Jiji, this animated project can only be abandoned.

After Eiichiro Oda got the prize money, a good bow and thanks, it was time for the traditional funny awards - although, this tradition of funny awards was actually only tried once at the first annual meeting last year.

Like last year, this year's funny awards are still full of jokes, for example, Meng Zhe won the 'Best Digging Pit Without Filling Award', and the prize is a mug without a bottom.

As for the reason for awarding this award to Meng Zhe, it comes from the readers' resentment that "Dream Eater" has been suspended until now, and there is no sign of resumption.

"It seems that I can only use it as a pen holder, and it will motivate me to dig more and deeper holes! Of course, as a newcomer to socialism with morality, quality, talent, and appearance, I will fill in the hole next year...... Well, I mean maybe, although Conan, the scourge who dies wherever he goes, there is always only one truth. But the reality is that I really want to...... It's like the poor kitten who was put in a box by the madman Schrödinger, so no one knows whether it is alive or dead until the box is opened. ”

In order to match the atmosphere, Meng Zhe held the specially made bottomless mug and delivered such an acceptance speech.

Meng Zhe's remarks naturally made everyone laugh constantly, and gained a small amount of contempt.

Of course, except for Meng Zhe, when they won these funny awards, what they said was also funny. For example, Zhang Heng, who drew "Infinite Terror", also blinked his eyes when he was awarded the "Most Brain-Cell-Consuming Comic Award": "This award...... Wrong! What a grievance I have gained! This award should be sent to my editor-in-charge, Huai Liu, because the content of those brains was proposed by her, in fact, ...... Actually, I wanted to draw the protagonist and supporting characters as hot-blooded stupid. ”

It was not until the award of the most popular male and female characters that the funny atmosphere became a little more solemn again, and Editor Xiao Zhao, who was still acting as the host, personally ran to the backstage and carried two life-size pillows covered with red cloths.

"Gentlemen! Ladies! The time has come to witness the miracle – because when the red bra opens, the answer will be revealed! So, who is the lucky one who can carry these two special life-size pillows? Everyone, please guess first, there is a prize for guessing correctly! If you guess right, you will be rewarded! ”

Wiping the sweat on his forehead that didn't actually exist, editor Xiao Zhao said with the microphone in his hand.

So, everyone guessed wildly, but the interesting thing is that the characters with female surnames mentioned are basically characters written by Meng Zhe, while the characters with male surnames are not all characters written by Meng Zhe.

When the red cloth was finally lifted, everyone was surprised to find that they had been tricked, because under the cover of the red cloth were actually two life-length pillows - Saber and Han Lingsha.

"It's a pity that everyone's turnaround is not enough! This year's most popular female characters are two! As for the most popular male character ......" Editor Xiao Zhao, who gave a smug smile, pointed in the direction of the backstage and continued: "The most popular male character is still in the background, because I have no interest in running around the street with a man who is more handsome than me!" Naturally, if you are a beautiful woman, you will be happy to ......"

After saying this, editor Xiao Zhao finally said the reason why it would be two - very simple, because these two two-dimensional beautiful girls have already appeared in the cartoon.

According to the normal procedure, these two life-size pillows should be carried home by Meng Zhe, in fact, all these two such large pillows appeared, which was also to make up for Meng Zhe's decision not to participate in the selection of the most popular cartoonists.

But at this time, Jiang Xiyao's girl was full of stars, and she said to Meng Zhe that she wanted Saber's body-hugging pillow.

For this kind of request of his sister-in-law, Meng Zhe naturally has nothing that he can't agree, but in order to tease Jiang Xiyao, Meng Zhe said that he can only take it away if he wins by guessing with him - two wins in three punches.

So rock-paper-scissors began, and Meng Zhe gorgeously lost two games in a row.

So Meng Zhe's face was not red and his heart was not beating, saying that he didn't make it clear just now, so it was not a win-of-three punch but a win-of-five game.

So rock-paper-scissors continued, and Meng Zhe gorgeously lost three games in a row again...... Then the best-of-five games became the best-of-seven games, although Jiang Xiyao's Nizi had already pouted to the elder shouting Meng Jiji's big laipi, but after all, he was still reluctant to put the huge saber pillow on the stage, so he stretched out his small fist again.

This time, Meng Zhe finally won two games in a row, but before he could be happy, he lost three games in a row again, and finally lost with a total score of 4:5 after finally winning two more games.

"Meng Jiji, don't be leaning anymore!"

Afraid that Meng Zhe would change five wins in seven games to seven wins in nine games again, Jiang Xiyao, who won seven games in nine games, got up and ran to the stage without waiting for Meng Zhe to speak.

"Mine my! Brother Xiao Zhao - that saber is mine! Meng Jiji and I lost to me! ”

After running onto the stage, Jiang Xiyao, the girl, held the saber who was a little taller than her and waited for the pillow, and this kind of unexpected thing naturally caused everyone to laugh again...... "Xun'er, that Han Lingsha doll will be given to you." ”

Meng Zhe, who was also smiling, turned his head sideways and said this to Jiang Weirui.

In this way, Meng Zhe, who should have been able to go home with two beautiful girls and other pillows in the jealous eyes of everyone, could only look at his future wife and sister-in-law, each holding a huge pillow and showing a happy smile.

Although Meng Zhe has never said in front of outsiders who he likes, everyone is not blind, is he? So whether it is the serial cartoonists or the editors, after witnessing this scene, they all showed such a smirk - the editor-in-chief of Xiao Meng is really amazing! Drawing is great! Pickled girls are also amazing!

Meng Zhe naturally knew what everyone was thinking, but he felt that there was nothing wrong with this kind of thing - his body was now fifteen years old, so what was wrong with liking girls of the same age?

Besides, there's nothing wrong with letting everyone know that they like one of the two girls in the Jiang family, right?

If there is a famous flower of the Lord, it is naturally not easy to be coveted.

And because of this unexpected incident, the next awards for the most popular male character have become less eye-catching...... By the time the commotion was over, it was already the second half of the night, so everyone went back to their respective homes to find their own mothers, of course, Meng Zhe must have sent the Jiang family's two big loli home first.

The next day, the excitement continued, and after two days of lively and noisy noise, the second annual meeting of Tianjiao Society ended with a satisfactory attitude, and the reason why it was said to be satisfactory was because the original goals were basically achieved.

With the departure of enthusiastic readers who came to attend the annual meeting, Tianjiao Club and Jiji Animation Studio have returned to their normal work track.
