Shen Zhenghui chose to meet Liu Xin and his party in the conference room of Kasuga Pictures instead of the president's room, although the president's room was also large enough. Liu Xin looks calm and capable, like a professional woman who has worked for many years, and she is very familiar with the place where she greets people she knows in Japanese in the office building of the spring day. The people who greeted her responded to her very enthusiastically, which showed the nervousness of the Chinese with Ah Heng behind her.

Ma Zhen came with Liu Xin, and introduced to Ah Heng and his party as he walked, "This is Chunga Pictures, it seems that Boss Shen also has investments here, although Chunga is not particularly good at film production, and the annual film output is not particularly large, but it is very powerful, and several of Gonzo's movies, including our "Puhai Fortress", are all from Guò Kasuga Pictures." ”

After Ah Heng and his entourage saw the location and scene of the spring work, they could only look up. The expression on Ah Heng's face became heavier and heavier.

Horiguchi Nazumi came down to greet Liu Xin, the two women got together and talked for a long time, Horiguchi Nazumi nodded to the large group of men behind, turned around and led Liu Xin to the elevator.

Liu Xin turned her head, "Shen Zhenghui is waiting for us in the conference room," she said with a straight face, "If you have anything to say in a while, just tell him." ”

Ah Heng scratched his head, the group of Chinese cartoonists behind him were a little cramped, and it was completely inevitable that they had arrived in a completely unfamiliar place.

Shen Zhenghui ushered in the visiting group in the conference room, led by Ah Heng. brought seven comic book authors out for inspection, these seven comic book authors are the most Hong Kong comic style authors he promoted, two of them are still Hong Kong people, as soon as he saw the appearance of the eight King Kongs, Shen Zhenghui felt speechless for a while.

"Anyway, I did talk about going abroad for an inspection last time, but why didn't you inform me about this matter?" Shen Zhenghui frowned, "Didn't you say that Li Hong should lead the team?" When did you guys come out? ”

Ah Heng was a little cramped.

"Sister Hong called me, but I couldn't get in touch with you at the time." Liu Xin said that this can be regarded as an explanation, but Shen Zhenghui knows it in his heart. Li Hong: This can be regarded as trying to save the country in the curve. Sure enough, Liu Xin continued, "Sister Hong is going to divide the investigation into two phases, one phase is led by Ah Heng, and the first phase is led by her. So as not to affect the reorganization of Jinhong Comics. ”

Shen Zhenghui raised his eyebrows. No longer mention Li Hong's careful thinking that he wants to continue to maintain his influence in Jinhong Comics. Everyone was seated, and then a staff member came forward and served a variety of drinks and coffee for everyone to choose from. The beautiful girl brings a drink or coffee and asks in Japanese what you want and if you want to make more tea. This group of young people who are deeply influenced by the otaku culture are all cramped and uneasy. Shen Zhenghui ignored the embarrassment of these guys, and asked Liu Xin first, "What's the matter with you?" ”

"The main thing is that the production of 'Rebellious Lelouch' makes you look at the sample," Liu Xin replied, "We made this kind of organic cartoon for the first time, and we were a little unconfident. ”

"Shouldn't this be directly asked to the professionals at Gonzo?" Shen Zhenghui asked.

Liu Xin snorted, "They're busy making "Battle Fairy Snow Wind", I don't want to trouble them." ”

Shen Zhenghui understood Liu Xin's mind a little, in front of Gonzo's record, Liu Xin felt that she was one level shorter, and asked Gonzo to hurt her self-esteem, in fact, she was quite proud when the box office of "Puhai Fortress" came out.

Shen Zhenghui looked at Ma Zhen, and Ma Zhen hurriedly said, "We have no experience in this kind of cartoon, we think it's pretty good to watch it ourselves, but I'm afraid it won't suit the taste of Japanese audiences." ”

"Then you're going to show it to the Japanese, to C1amp?"

"They think it's good, too."

"Isn't that the end of it? You guys should be confident, isn't it good to have Full Metal Mania? ”

"But they are women, women say yes, men don't necessarily buy it!"

"So you think I can represent the quintessential Japanese?" Shen Zhenghui asked rhetorically, he looked at Liu Xin, "What about your question, you still have to communicate with Murahama Shoji, although the TV animation is handed over to you to make Zuò, but it doesn't mean that he doesn't care about this at all!" Although he focuses on film animation, he doesn't just care about film animation and doesn't pay attention to the rest of his company's business. ”

Seeing that Liu Xin's expression was getting more and more ugly, Shen Zhenghui rolled his eyes and looked at the ceiling, "...... But since you brought it, let's take a look. ”

The projector was quickly taken and placed, and Shen Zhenghui asked Nazumi Horiguchi to go busy with her own affairs, and a group of Chinese here gathered together to speak Chinese with various accents, and it really didn't make much sense for the Japanese secretary to stay here.

Ma Zhen brought over some of the TV episodes that were made and good, connected to the notebook, and the projector projected the image of the TV animation on the white screen. Ah Heng and his group also began to watch the images of this cartoon seriously, although they had already seen it at work.

C1amp's character design focuses on feminine femininity, but men can still accept it, and the plot of the story Shen Zhenghui feels that it is very similar to the story he watched back then, although the appearance of the characters has changed, but it still looks and feels the same.

Ma Zhen specially showed Shen Zhenghui the scene of the mecha battle. The Japanese love for Gundam has become a national trend, so Liu Xin and they are so worried about the scene of the mecha battle, but for Shen Zhenghui, he doesn't have to care about this at all, you must know that this story is actually a middle two story dressed in the skin of a politician, so the key to the story is not on the mecha at all, as long as there are no loopholes in the big setting. The key to the story is to show the temperament of these protagonists in the story. So Shen Zhenghui said on the spot after watching a few episodes that the effect is very good, don't worry.

Liu Xin was naturally dissatisfied with Shen Zhenghui's perfunctory attitude, but she had no choice. Ma Zhen seemed to have put down a big stone in his heart because of Shen Zhenghui's expression.

"New in October?"

"Yes, Tokyo TV has already decided." Liu Xin said. "Now we're going to think about the next one."

"There's no need to rush this," Shen Zhenghui turned to Ah Heng and them, "Do you have anything to say to me?" ”

Ah Heng looked very cramped, and first glanced at his companions, who were also embarrassed and shy, scratching their ears and cheeks, and fidgeting. This made Shen Zhenghui have a bad guess about what Ah Heng was going to say.

"Mr. Shen." Ah Heng shouted, but then he changed his title again, "Uh, chairman." ”

Shen Zhenghui nodded.

"We visited Mr. Liu's studio and were really shocked. Mr. Liu's achievements and achievements are very worthy of our learning. It is also very effective for the training of animation workers, and we all admire Mr. Liu's ability and your vision. ”

Shen Zhenghui continued to nod and did not interrupt him. On the other hand, Liu Xin moved his body with a somewhat impatient look.

"Since the last time I heard you talk about the reorganization of the magazine. I've also been thinking a lot about myself. Ah Heng spoke more and more difficult. Every word seems to be squeezed out.

"Do you have any ideas?" Shen Zhenghui asked.

Ah Heng gritted his teeth. "I think so, my personal style is too Hong Kong, which may be contrary to the direction of the magazine's future exhibition. I want to try...... Start your own business. ”

"Start your own business?"

"Last time you mentioned that the Hong Kong film industry was interested in making cartoons, I thought about it carefully and felt ......," he began to deliberate, "I can open a small animation production company and produce some Hong Kong comic-style cartoons." He looked at Shen Zhenghui's face a little nervously, for fear that Shen Zhenghui would get angry and drive them away.

"This is also an attempt, after all, I think we should master the ability of animation production in various styles, and of course, I also hope that you can invest in this animation production company."

Under Shen Zhenghui's gaze, Ah Heng was finally finished, his breathing was a little short, and he felt very nervous.

"Are you done?" Shen Zhenghui asked, "Is this the thing?" ”

Ah Heng nodded.

Shen Zhenghui glanced at the cartoonists around him again, this is Ah Heng's team, the production team that has helped him make "The Legend of the Demon" recently. Shen Zhenghui scratched his head and asked, "Have you told Li Hong about this idea?" ”

Ah Heng pursed his lips, "She doesn't approve of it, so she asked me to come to Japan to talk to you first." ”

"It's a very good and motivated thing to be the boss," Shen Zhenghui said with his back against his chair, "I may have made it clear when I was in Pengcheng, but you should also know the virtues of the Hong Kong film industry, what films can make money, they just swarmed up, Japanese animated films made money in Hong Kong, and they also wanted to do animation, but with so many people in the Hong Kong market, how big do you think the animation market is?" How did our animation department come to be? It's not relying on Pengcheng TV and the entire Lingnan Province to show up, Hong Kong's TVB and ATV can be your backstage? Keep buying films so you don't starve to death? Or will Star TV be able to buy your film? Do you just listen to me and make a decision? Don't do your own market research? ”

"Uh......" Ah Heng opened his mouth, "This, the big 6 should also have a market." ”

"It's impossible, you want to make a Hong Kong comic-style cartoon, and you don't want to think about the big 6 market in a short time." Shen Zhenghui shook his head, "You yourself know what kind of style Hong Kong comics are, do you think the approval can be passed?" ”

Ah Heng swallowed a mouthful of saliva, he mustered up the courage to think about it and finally made up his mind, he didn't expect that he would be beaten by Shen Zhenghui here, and the posture of being beaten was not what he imagined. He originally thought that Shen Zhenghui would be furious for him to set up his own door, or he was thinking about cleaning himself out, the patriarch of Jin Hong, but what he didn't expect was that his plan was actually worthless by him.

"So what you said about taking Hong Kong cartoons is lying to us?" A stunned young man opened fire, which made Liu Xin on the side couldn't help but glance at him.

Shen Zhenghui took a deep breath, "I don't know if you've seen McDull, it's just that cartoon of a pig, that cartoon is also a Hong Kong comic, but it is different from the general Hong Kong muscle comics." After a pause, Shen Zhenghui continued, "Obviously, the market for violent comics is not too big, and Hong Kong people themselves know that especially when the market they can influence is getting smaller and smaller, it is impossible for them to risk being rejected by Big 6 to make cartoons in the style you expect, so the animation market I am targeting is similar to our young animation from the beginning." In a few years, the subject matter may be relaxed, anyway, I am an outsourcing unit, and the risk is not on me. He spread his hands.

Dumbfounded, he was speechless and buried his head.

"We are a big company," Shen Zhenghui said, "this piece does not make money, there are other parts that make money, you resign yourself and go out to the black, the risk is too great, you think about it yourself." Shen Zhenghui said.

Ah Heng is a bit wolf. "But ......"

"How are your comics selling in Hong Kong?" Shen Zhenghui continued to ask. "Is the single book out? How are the sales? ”

Ah Heng was completely defeated, "It's not satisfactory." ”

"Hong Kong's economy has been very bad in the past two years, and the film industry is not profitable." Shen Zhenghu snorted and said, "Jiahe's "2ooo A.D." at the beginning of the year claimed to have invested 140 million. The box office was only 10 million. There is no return for nothing. "There was a pause. He asked Ah Heng, "You don't have all kinds of channels, so you want to make cartoons." Have you not considered your own failures? Can you go back to the days when you were desperately trying to draw comics alone? ”

Ah Heng stood up suddenly, gasped a few times, and sat down again, "I still have some savings." ”

"Your little savings are not enough for you to lose." Shen Zhenghui pursed his lips, "Have you gone to the animation department to ask about their production cost?" "Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf" is something you definitely can't look at," he glanced at Liu Xin, "The price in Japan is inflated, and it's not realistic, take a middle number of 3o million episodes, how many episodes can you make?" What should I do if I can't sell it? Do you know the price of cartoons on domestic TV stations? If it weren't for the state subsidy, many animation companies would have gone out of business. ”

Ah Heng buried his head down, and the entire conference room fell silent.

Liu Xin asked softly on the side, "How to deal with this?" She also has a stake in the comic club and has a lot of affection for Jin Hong.

Shen Zhenghui glanced at Ah Heng, "That's it," he said, "You have two paths, one is to work in the animation department after returning to China, start with the most basic things, learn well, first understand the entire animation production process, and then when the time comes to set up a new animation department, I will put you in it - of course, not to be the boss of the department, but to start from a middle-level position." Ah Heng used to be the art director of the comics department, he was the boss when Li Hong didn't speak, Li Hong had to take into account his feelings when he spoke, and now he was actually kicked out of other departments as ordinary employees, who could stand it.

Liu Xin was a little unbearable on the side, and pulled the corner of Shen Zhenghui's clothes.

"The other way is to continue to stay in Japan, to study in Mr. Liu's studio for a while, and of course, to get familiar with the process of making animation zuò. When you have learned well and figured it out, talk to me again and see what you think at that time, and I will arrange your work. Shen Zhenghui knocked on the table, "Now if you have any ideas, you can kick them out together, and I can also consider it." ”

Ah Heng shook his head, "No, I'll stay." This choice can only be said to be a delaying tactic, it is a temporary and decent choice, Ah Heng did not have the courage to stand up and leave Jin Hong completely, after all, this is still the best comic and animation company in the country so far, Ah Heng has experienced a hard entrepreneurial life, he is not afraid to let him start again, but he is not confident that he will succeed.

Shen Zhenghui looked at Liu Xin.

Liu Xin nodded and said, "That's fine, but your visa needs to be changed." Let's stay in our staff dormitory first! ”

Everyone present breathed a sigh of relief.

Liu Xin continued to instruct, "Mr. Ma, send them back first, and I will talk to Mr. Shen about the next topic." ”

Ma Zhen nodded and stood up. Ah Heng and his party also stood up, and Shen Zhenghui shook hands with them one by one and told them to cherish this opportunity.

Looking at Ah Heng's dejected appearance, Shen Zhenghui couldn't help but shake his head, "Contact Li Hong, let her come to Japan as much as possible, and also contact me." ”

Ah Heng nodded. Shen Zhenghu called Nazumi Horiguchi to send them out. Liu Xin sat on the sidelines, and when everyone was gone, she stood up, "Go to your office!" She said.

"Mitsumi Fukuda is not in good health, you have time to see her more during this time." Shen Zhenghui said as he walked.

Liu Xin was obviously not in a good mood, in Shen Zhenghui's opinion, it was probably because of the influence of Ah Heng's incident, "She is not in good health, why don't you go to see it?" Aren't you old friends with her? ”

Shen Zhenghui couldn't help grinning, he and Mitsumi Fukuda were indeed old friends, but after knowing each other's identities, Shen Zhenghui always had an embarrassing feeling in the face of Mitsumi Fukuda, so he subconsciously reduced his meeting with her, and most of the things were communicated by phone.

"You're a woman, it's more convenient." Shen Zhenghui can only say this.

Liu Xin glared at him fiercely.

When he arrived at Shen Zhenghui's office, Liu Xin sat down and said, "Don't say anything else, take out your manuscript and take a look, let's choose a theme from the middle." ”

"Don't talk about this yet," Shen Zhenghui waved his hand, remembering another thing, "I asked Thomas from Colombia to have dinner tomorrow night, and I need to bring a female companion, why don't you go with me?" ”

Liu Xin's eyes widened and he stared at Shen Zhenghui, and then he had a skeptical expression, "Why did you choose me?" ”

"You're more suitable."

"I don't think," Liu Xin pouted, "It's obviously Mitsumi Fukuda who is the most suitable, but she's not feeling well, shouldn't you bring a female secretary on this occasion?" Otherwise, you know what you talk to people about? ”

"Everything in principle has been negotiated, and this meeting is mainly a lala relationship." Shen Zhenghui pouted, "I may go back to China to continue making movies in the future, and if I want to go international, I still have to hug the thighs of Sony Colombia, and if you make animated films in the future, don't you want to go to North America?" ”

Liu Xin blinked, pursed his lips and smiled, "You're right, I should thank you for inviting me." When is it tomorrow night. ”

"At dinner time, Natsumi and I are coming to pick you up?"

Liu Xin smiled, "Of course." (To be continued!)
