After staying at home for half a day, Meng Huo set off for Tokyo.

Alice didn't go with him this time, but he stayed in the same apartment, where he had a night's rest and the next day he got to work.

The production of the first episode of "Mobile Suit Gundam 00" has been launched, and the preliminary preparations have been done sufficiently, and the painters' brushstrokes have also gotten rid of the inertia of "Detective Conan", and they have been a little tired of making the same animation for a long time, and this new animation brings a new feeling, and everyone is highly motivated.

However, the animation production zuòshun lì, even with Meng Shu is also concerned about the progress of the animation song, the song of "Mobile Suit Gundam 00" has been handed over to the professional music team as early as two weeks ago, and each song has also been assigned a voice actor, but there is no news that the recording has been completed.

On this day, Meng Shu went to find Takashima Takako for this matter.

When she was found, Takashima was standing on the phone from a walkway with a good view overlooking the city's streetscape, and she had her back to Meng Huo, so she didn't spot him at the first time. Meng was about to shout, but before approaching Takashima Takako, he was surprised by her words on the phone.

"Yes, we bought one of his mistresses, and the mistress said that she had seen a few of the manga he kept, but they didn't seem to be finished, and it was a bit like a scrap ......manuscript that someone else didn't want," Takashima told on the phone, but what she said left Meng in confusion.

"We investigated his movements after coming to the Far East, and found no suspicions, and we can be sure that the original owner of those comics should not be a resident of the Far East, and it is most likely that he brought it from Europe...... We have limited ability to do things over there, so it's better for you to investigate it yourself, Miss Alice......"

“…… Right. I will send you the details to your email. Including his first flight to the Far East. I think this information should allow you to lock in the scope of your investigation......"

After Meng Shu arrived, Takashima Takako talked on the phone for two minutes, and after she hung up the phone, she turned around and saw Meng Shu obviously startled: "He, what a pity teacher, why are you here!" ”

"Just here." Meng Huo looked surprised: "You were talking to Alice on the phone just now?" What are you talking about? ”

He listened for two minutes and still didn't hear what Alice and Takashima Takako were investigating, but he knew it had something to do with the manga. Takashima put her phone in her pocket and explained with a wry smile that she hadn't planned to tell Meng Shu about it. But since she was discovered, she can only tell her honestly, it's not a secret anyway.

After Meng Shu listened, he roughly understood what happened: "That is to say, Alice didn't sign a contract with that animation company last time she came to Yokohama, and she found that the source of their animation was very suspicious, so you started investigating?" ”

"Yes." Takashima Takako nodded: "But there are no results from the investigation yet, but the clues are just pulled away." ”

This investigation has been pulled to Europe, and if you want to know who the original author of "The Land of Ice and Fire" is, you can only start from the source of Matsumon. As for the investigation in Europe, Takashima Takashima felt that it was not her own. It's better to let Alice do it—she's also a person of Western descent, and she must know more Europeans than Takashima Takako.

Meng Shu understood. Then I was a little curious: "Alice is actually optimistic about other animations?" ”

Alice has been by his side for many years, and there are quite few works that can make her look at them, let alone this kind of investigation. Meng Yu believes that if it was just an ordinary excellent animation, Alice would definitely not go out of his way to investigate, so she was willing to investigate the original author's animation, which was definitely not a simple animation.

Maybe he's a genius cartoonist.

"But Europe, ......"

However, thinking about the place, Meng Shu still shook his head, even if there are such powerful cartoonists in Europe, the possibility of Phoenix Company getting it is very small. The first is the difference in region and sense of belonging, and then there is the control of people, and Meng Huo wants to come to Anthony and an old pedant will not give up such a good cartoonist.

So this thing was interesting on the surface, but Meng Shu didn't expect it and threw it to the back of his mind.

"How's the Mobile Suit Gundam 00 songbook......

He got his mind back to his work.

However, at the same moment, at the Matsumon Animation Company in Yokohama, there was a guest in the conference room that Meng Huo and Alice did not expect, a representative sent by the Nakatsu Company, and sitting in the middle of them was Yangliang. The big screen in the conference room is showing a sample of "Land of Ice and Fire", which has not yet been broadcast, but many people can see the excellence of this work.

"It's a rare good animation, Minister." A young man with glasses whispered beside Yang Liang: "I also read the manuscript and script just now, the potential of this animation is very high, and only angels in our company may be able to surpass it...... I think I should sign this company. ”

"I agree." Another young man agreed: "We can't just rely on Sherlock, why don't you want to release a few new animations this year, if we don't have enough good animations to stabilize the situation, we will fall into passivity in the second half of the year." ”

Zhongxia Company once won, but this is only temporary, what a pity that "Mobile Suit Gundam 00" will be released soon, more than two months later, "Light Girl" will end and there will be a new animation, and half a year later, the end of "Pokemon" will also be a big pain period in Zhongxia.

If they want to keep the scene, they have to dig out more and better quality animations at this time. "The Land of Ice and Fire" is an unexpected joy, although its quality cannot be compared with what a pity, but it can still form a huge boost to Zhongxia Company, if there are a few more high-quality animations like this, Zhongxia Company will not be afraid.

Yang Liang frowned slightly, he glanced at the people of Songmen Animation Company who were sitting on the other side, and then said in a low voice: "But they invited Phoenix Company before, and Phoenix Company didn't give them an answer, there must be a reason for this...... I just looked at the information and found that the author of "The Land of Ice and Fire" turned out to be a major shareholder, and was not involved in the creation of the details - I suspect that there is something wrong with its author. ”

He inadvertently guessed the truth, but if it weren't for the fact that Phoenix Company rejected Matsumon Animation, Yang Liang would not have poured out this suspicion.

"Is the minister worried that something will happen?" The young man in glasses asked.

"Yes." Yang Liang nodded: "This major shareholder is also reluctant to meet us, I think he has a problem." ”

The young man with glasses smiled immediately: "Minister, you are too cautious - we are not Phoenix Company, what is the reason for this trouble?" As long as you get the animation, even if something happens in the future, are you still worried that others will be able to beat us? This Songmen animation may not even be worthy of lifting shoes for our company!"

Yang Liang was stunned, this is right, how can the influence and power behind Zhongxia Company be comparable to Phoenix Company? If you don't go to Guan Yi and take the animation with one eye closed, no matter how awesome "Land of Ice and Fire" is in the future, it will be impossible to splash dirty water on Zhongxia.

Even if it is a big matter, Zhongxia Company also has a professional team of lawyers, and it is completely possible to beat them upside down - "It's not that Zhongxia made a mistake, but that Songmen Animation didn't explain things clearly and deceived them." ”

"En......"

After thinking for a moment, Yang Liang felt that he could settle this matter. He doesn't have time, maybe the Phoenix Company is investigating the truth of this animation at the moment, but if they wait for the results of the investigation, Zhongxia will have no chance, and "The Land of Ice and Fire" will definitely be transferred to the Phoenix Company.

"Gotta take it down first!"

Yang Liang secretly thought to himself that in order to prevent long nights from dreaming too much, he signed a long-term cooperation contract with Matsumen Animation as a representative of Zhongxia Company soon after.

In this contract, Zhongxia Company will provide "Land of Ice and Fire" with funds, songs, voice actors, animation promotion and broadcast channels and other support, and the final income will be after deducting various expenses, the majority will be handed over to Matsumen Animation Company, and Zhongxia will only receive the remaining part of the benefits.

Matsumon Animation was overjoyed, the contract was even more satisfying than they expected, and it was a pie in the sky.

Of course, Zhongxia is not a philanthropist, and Yang Liang put forward a very harsh condition: that is, the animation works of Songmen Animation in the future can only be launched by Zhongxia Company, and they are not allowed to cooperate with others - and the liquidated damages for violating this condition are very large, which is enough to bankrupt Songmen Animation.

Matsumon Animation was not without consideration, but under the temptation of huge profits, they quickly agreed to this condition. In fact, the cooperation with Zhongxia Company did not do them any harm, because they spent their whole lives and could not make the company grow as huge as Zhongxia.

It's a contract that both parties are happy about.

"Cheers to our cooperation!"

After the contract was signed, Matsumon Animation invited representatives of the Zhongxia Company to celebrate at the hotel - they had money, and the hotel chose the best.

"Cheers!"

Yang Liang and the others enjoyed the dinner with satisfaction.

In this contract, Zhongxia Company is also the winner, and on the surface it looks like they are wasting money, but monopolizing Songmen's animation, in essence, is equivalent to buying the company. Although this company may not be able to make a lot of money for Zhongxia, the influence brought by its animation will be a dowry for Zhongxia and its two partner TV stations.

"I'll help you choose a voice actor as soon as I get back, so you don't have to worry about songs." Yang Liang said to the personnel of Matsumon Company: "But you have to speed up the progress, I hope to see the feature film of "Land of Ice and Fire" in August, and let it premiere before September!" ”

There is quite plenty of time, and naturally no one in Songmen Company has any opinions. The people in this company were so excited, and even after bidding farewell to Yang Liang and his party in the evening, the president of Songmen Animation also sighed at the airport: "That young lady from Phoenix Company is too stingy, and the people in Zhongxia Company are different, look at how generous Mr. Yang Liang is!"
