On Thursday, Meng Huo had just walked into the office.

"How was Mobile Suit Gundam 00 going yesterday?"

He asked the secretary who followed up, and the secretary made a brief report, and then reported an unexpected news: "Vice President, Mr. Xu's secretary called this morning and said that Mr. Xu will come to Cartoon Island this morning." ”

Will Xu Jing come to Comic Island?

Meng Shu was a little surprised, Xu Jing had also been to Comic Island several times in the past two years, but that was when it was an important matter. He usually doesn't come over, and he leaves everything to Meng Shu and them to deal with by himself, and now it's not a big deal, how did he come over.

"Is it a whim?"

This thought turned in his heart, but Meng Shu still ordered to adjust his time, Xu Jing finally came once, and he would definitely find time to receive him.

However, what Meng Shu didn't know was that the reason why Xu Jing came was related to his new comics, after the readers spread the news of the new comics last night, Xu Jing was not clean all night, and old friends kept asking him for help, Xu Jing couldn't sit still, and he came to Suhua in person today.

Elsewhere, the matter is just fermenting.

On this day in Yanjing, the Huaxia Sports Bureau held a mobilization meeting for the summer national sports event 'Huaxia Cup', which was attended by presidents, representatives and leading figures of various sports associations, and the director of the National Sports Bureau presided over the meeting.

The meeting lasted until half past eleven, and before the end of the game, the director of the sports bureau suddenly said a word.

"Ah, by the way, do you know why cartoonists are going to put out new comics?"

The crowd who was about to get up and leave was stunned, some thoughtful, and some inexplicable.

"Director Li. You're ......"

Liu Yurong, president of the Volleyball Association, asked tentatively. However, the director of sports only said this sentence. Then he left with a smile on his face, and he didn't mind at all how many people here could understand what he meant.

However, after the director of the sports bureau left, the president of the football association snorted coldly.

"It's this cartoonist again."

His words made the others stop and shift their gaze, Liu Yurong frowned slightly, and asked, "President Wu, what does this mean." Could it be that you know the hint of the director? ”

"There's nothing you don't know."

The president of the football association glanced at the vice president beside him, who had been whispering in his ear since last night: "Why do you know? It is said that this is a somewhat influential cartoonist......"

"It's not a little, it's very big, he's the No. 1 cartoonist in China, and he'll be ...... president."

The vice president reminded.

But the president of the Football Association continued, as if he hadn't heard it: "It's a pity that he broke the news to readers yesterday that he might launch a craft comic, and our sports themes are also included in his selection of materials, and the director's words are a hint that we can seize this opportunity." Let the new comics help us promote the movement. ”

The vice president's face turned white at once: "President, how can you come out!" ”

He was in a hurry. Isn't it plain for others to know about it when you say it in front of so many people? This president is really brainless, he didn't grasp such a good opportunity, and he even sued others.

"Just a cartoonist." The president of the Football Association shook his head: "I really don't know what the director is thinking, what can a comic do?" Instead of thinking about it, think about how to get the ratings of the Summer Games right! ”

In his heart, he was dismissive of what a pity, what is a comic, and how much of a promotion can it have? It is better to put more advertisements in major cities.

After listening to his words, the eyes of the president of the basketball association on the other side lit up, and a smile suddenly appeared on the corner of his mouth. However, this smile was fleeting, and within a few seconds, the president of the basketball association laughed and said: "That's right, the director occasionally says this kind of small building, there is no deep meaning, just let it go about that cartoonist...... I'm hungry, let's go eat early! ”

The president of the basketball association said a word, and many people who knew it also cooperated.

"Also, eat, eat!"

"Mr. He, wait...... How about seeing you once, how about getting together at noon? ”

"Okay!"

The conference hall ended quickly, and many representatives of small sports projects didn't take the topic seriously, but Liu Yurong noticed that the director of the sports bureau would say that sentence after such a heavy meeting, not like a small building.

He invited two close friends: the president of the volleyball and badminton associations to have dinner together, and he also talked about it in the middle.

"I think it's a bit of a problem." Liu Yurong said.

"When you mention that, I also noticed a detail just now." The president of the volleyball association frowned and recalled: "President Wu of the Football Association was dismissive of that cartoonist, but the president of the Basketball Association seemed to smile before speaking...... I don't think he takes it as seriously as he says. ”

"Is that really the case?" Liu Yurong was taken aback, he thought about it for a while, and frowned: "Speaking of which, many people are wrong just now, the president of the table tennis has always been a relatively silent person, but just now he was the first to open his mouth to eat after the president of the basketball association finished speaking...... As if deliberately diverting the subject. ”

Liu Yurong and the platoon leader glanced at each other, and both saw the doubts and suspicions in each other's eyes, the scene just now is really wrong in retrospect, if you think about it deeply, the conclusion will be quite terrifying.

"Could it be that those people are aiming for that new comic?" "Is that new comic really that scary?" ”

The eyes of the two looked at Dai Fei, the president of the Badminton Association, who had been eating silently: "Brother Dai Fei, why haven't you spoken, what do you think about this matter?" ”

Dai Fei calmly finished the mouthful of food in his mouth, then stopped his chopsticks and sighed slightly: "You really don't know who the cartoonist is?" ”

"I don't know!" The two presidents shook their heads: "Is he famous?" ”

“…… Not very famous, very famous. Dai Fei said with a complicated expression, he actually didn't want to talk about this matter to increase his opponents, but as a friend, now that these two people asked, he couldn't help but answer honestly.

"If you don't know, go home and ask your son or daughter, or even your wife." Dai Fei said: "There will definitely be one of them who will be able to tell you about his identity and influence. ”

"What identity? Isn't it just a cartoonist? ”

Liu Yurong looked surprised, didn't the director say that he was a cartoonist, how did Dai Fei say it as if he was a big man.

"He's not just a cartoonist, he's an animator, a writer, a composer, a pianist, an entrepreneur, a young icon...... And they all have top influence in these industries......"

Dai Fei was a little helpless, although they were born playing sports, and they usually don't have contact with comics, but how can anyone not know what to do? However, after he continued to explain a few words, the two friends reacted and even stood up in shock.

"What, "Detective Conan" and "Pokemon" and "Madoka Magica" are all produced by these animations? Oh my God! My kids love these animations! ”

"Damn, it turns out that he is the young genius of the Phoenix Company, I have heard of his actual ...... But what a pity his name is! Damn, I almost missed it! ”

As it turned out, it was not that the two presidents had not been exposed to He Xi's works and deeds, they just did not connect them. There are quite a few such people in China, and even some people who read comics will not go out of their way to remember the author's name.

And it's a pity that it's not a particularly conspicuous name, even if you've heard it on weekdays, it's normal for others to not remember it for a while.

"Now you understand what the director means, right?" Dai Fei asked.

"Understood, understood...... If you can draw a comic for our cause, this is indeed a good advertisement! Liu Yurong nodded, but then he frowned and said, "It's a pity that this is a comic, and it won't help much." ”

"Yes, no wonder the president of the Football Association is dismissive, why is the new work of limited help...... It's better if it's an animation. ”

The platoon leader nodded, although they knew who He Xi was, they also knew his influence. But the lack of familiarity with the comic book industry still can't make them make the right judgment - the vast majority of people do.

Comics are developing too fast and fiercely, and now many people's minds are still stuck in the past, and it is difficult to imagine the current sales and influence of comics, and it is impossible for them to have too much enthusiasm for He Xi's new work.

Especially for a behemoth like the Football Association, Chinese football is the first sport in the country, with hundreds of millions of fans, and it is impossible to see the promotion role of cartoons at all.

"You still don't understand." Dai Fei shook his head and sighed, he decided that good people should be good people to the end, so he would remind these two people again.

"It's because it's a comic that this matter is important, because what a pity that the manga will definitely be made into an animation, and there will be no exception......" He paused, wanting to take "Detective Conan" as an example, but in the end he didn't say it, but explained it in a simpler way.

"What a pity, a comic, it is said that the average reader is tens of millions, that is, when one of his comics comes out, tens of millions of people will know the content in it."

Glancing at the two stunned friends, Dai Fei slowly put down the bomb: "And after the adaptation of the animation, its influence will explode further, the animation audience is more than the comic reader, and the timeliness is longer, an animation can be broadcast for many years like a TV series, what a pity is the influence of animation......"

"The most conservative estimate is that there will be hundreds of millions of viewers."

Hundreds of millions of viewers are indeed the most conservative estimates, and the reason why Dai Fei understands it is because he is an animation fan himself. It is said that "Detective Conan" has now seen more than 500 million viewers, and it has been ...... for a long time

Moreover, even if it is a short anime: "Madoka Magi" has been reported to have been seen by more than 800 million people in ten years.

What is this concept? If He Xi's new comics have this kind of influence, then the subject matter he chose is equivalent to a long-term advertisement with hundreds of millions of people...... (To be continued......)
