Chapter Seventy-One: The Boiling Editorial Department
The two of them looked embarrassed, Zheng Xiao also looked funny, Zhang Yao put away his smile and said: "How can I say that, I am a person who is committed to becoming a conscience in the industry." Of course, this has to be done with Sister Yi's consent. ”
"What do I disagree with, it's just to take advantage of you by pulling you in."
Zheng Xiao also said: "You have made Hatsune Miku very successful, in fact, I have long had such an idea, but I don't know how to speak, and now you bring it up and I can't ask for it." ”
Zhang Yao had also thought about releasing an album for Hatsune before, and his concerns should be similar to Zheng Xiaoyi, but now that he is one of the owners of the studio, those problems naturally do not exist.
After thinking about it, he continued: "Although Hatsune is a virtual character, I have always regarded her as a real singer, and in the future, I will treat Hatsune as an artist under our studio, Xiaoqi will continue to be a voice actor, and the contract will not have to be signed, lest Uncle Ai come to trouble again, and I will be stunned in front of Uncle Ai." ”
The Great Celestial Empire is a place where personal affection is greater than everything, and Zhang Yao's thoughts are the same, many things only need human affection, unlike Germany, where everything has to be done according to the rules and regulations.
Zheng Xiaoyi didn't feel that there was anything wrong with it, and had no objections, but said: "Although it is a good thing to go to the summer file to fish in troubled waters, it is still important for you to take the college entrance examination, so it is better not to focus on it." ”
"Sister Xiaoyi, this can't be delayed."
Zhang Yao smiled and said: "It's been a while since the song of pi now, originally I just wanted Xiaoqi to record the song today, and the five songs that have been released can be copied directly, and the remaining two songs are not difficult for me at all." ”
"The production of animation is more time-consuming than shooting a live-action music video, and it takes at least a month to write three songs."
If you're not too particular, a MV can be done in a day, but animation can't be rushed out in a day anyway, Zhang Yao said: "That's not right, isn't the summer file also starting in June, and then my album can also start preparation." ”
Although Zhang Yao didn't want to act too rebellious, the high production and sophistication that had always been surprising and numb made people a little numb, and he took out the remaining two songs before leaving for the imperial capital, anyway, Ai Xiaoqi and Zheng Xiao were used to it.
Now Hatsune's image is to be able to sing and dance, Zhang Yao will continue to dig Wang Xinling's songs, and Jolin Tsai's is actually very suitable, it is not difficult to make Hatsune a diva-level singer with just these two words, and now many people who don't like animation are also attracted by the song itself.
Leaving the rest of the matter to Zheng Xiaoyi to deal with, Zhang Yao asked the head teacher for leave again and flew to the imperial capital, how can he say it now, he is also a celebrity, and the first middle school is also honored, and it is much easier to ask for advice.
The treatment of coming to the imperial capital this time is much better than participating in the Gramophone annual ceremony before, "The King of Picture Books" not only arranged a hotel for him, but also directly sent someone to the airport to pick him up, so he didn't have to bump around like a headless fly.
Carrying a simple bag and getting off the plane, when he walked out of the terminal, he saw someone holding a sign with his name written on it, so he walked over quickly and greeted: "Hello, I am Zhang Yao." ”
The person who came to pick him up was tall and enviable, with a square face, wearing a gray jacket and black-framed glasses, which was very different from ordinary working men, and this temperament made Zhang Yao feel very close.
"Hello, we've been talking on the phone so much, you should be able to hear me, right?"
This person smiled, and he didn't feel any strangeness, Zhang Yao immediately heard it, and said, "Are you the editor Brother Yang?" ”
Brother Yang's name is Yang Tian, and he has been Zhang Yao's editor since he signed the contract with "The King of Picture Books", and he called to communicate everything, and the same was true of the previous blue and white stripes incident.
Yang Tian nodded, and Zhang Yao continued to smile: "Of course I can hear Brother Yang's voice, but I didn't expect that you are so tall and strong, and you can charm a group of beauties by your figure." ”
"You're trying to say that it's too incompatible for me to be in a comic book career with my stature, right?"
With a laugh, Yang Tiancai said again: "Actually, you kid let us be surprised, let's not talk about it, let's go." Well, the office building of our painting king is on Jiefang West Road, don't be too surprised when the time comes. ”
In the past, it was useless to get the geographical knowledge of City B now, Zhang Yao didn't know anything about the road conditions in this time-space imperial capital, and he didn't care, what he cared about was that Yang Tian wanted to remind him so deliberately, and said: "Brother Yang, is it possible that there is still any situation?" Can you reveal it in advance, I also have a bottom in my heart. ”
"You'll know when you get there."
Yang Tian sold the guanzi, Zhang Yao pouted and didn't ask much, got into his private car, chatted casually along the way and quickly entered the city.
Although Qingxi is the largest city in the southwest, it is much worse than the imperial capital, Yang Tian drove the car in the reinforced concrete forest and jumped left and right, and his eyes were full of towering buildings and dazzling outdoor advertisements, and soon Zhang Yao was already dizzy, and he couldn't even tell the direction.
After entering the city, it took about half an hour to get close to the destination, Yang Tian drove the car into the parking lot, and Zhang Yao saw the four words of the king of picture books hanging at the door.
Although this public building is not high compared to the surrounding area, it has at least ten floors, Zhang Yao has no idea how a company operates, and he can't figure out whether it can be used to build so many floors.
As if he understood his thoughts, Yang Tian said when he walked in with him: "After so many years of development, our painting book king has also grown a lot, and when it was first launched, there were more than a dozen people in a small office. ”
Originally, Zhang Yao hadn't been able to contact the "Picture Book King" in the original time and space, and when he fell in love with anime, he had been dead for more than ten years, and it was only after pursuing the development of domestic animation that he realized that there was such a pioneer.
Zhang Yao has always felt that the untimely death of "The King of Picture Books" is not only a cup for magazines, but also a good opportunity for domestic comics to start and develop quickly.
Thinking of this, I couldn't help but sigh a little, and said: "The king of painting books must have experienced a lot of ups and downs until now, but the more fortunate the harvest is, the happier it is." ”
"It's been nearly ten years since I graduated from university and joined the editorial department of the king of picture books, and I just heard from my predecessors before, but a lot of things have happened in the past ten years, and I have almost stopped publishing several times."
seems to recall the past, Yang Tian also sighed, but he has only been a responsible editor for nearly ten years, isn't it a bit of a cheat?
With a crisp sound of "ding", the elevator stopped, and Yang Tian said with a smile on his face: "It's here." ”
When Zhang Yao was suspicious again, the elevator door slowly opened, and then he saw that the corridor was crowded with people, both men and women, most of them were young people in their twenties, with different clothes and work cards on their chests.
"Wow, you're really young."
"Nonsense, it's said that it's a high school student, can you not be young, handsome is the point."
"It's more handsome than in the media photos, I heard that he doesn't have a girlfriend."
This is a woman's voice, and the other men are also shouting, Zhang Yao was confused by this situation, and was stunned and motionless, Yang Tian said after half a sound: "I said can you calm down, Zhang Yao was frightened by you, if you blindfold him, you still think that we are a bandit den." ”
"Hello, I'm Zhang Yao."
After coming back to his senses, Zhang Yao hurriedly said hello, but he looked very restrained, how could he have thought that these people would be so excited, not like editors, but like star chasers, Yang Tian asked him not to be too surprised before and said this.
"Welcome, welcome, we've been waiting for you for a long time."
A large group of people scrambled to say, Zhang Yao was pushed and dragged to the reception room of the editorial department, and along the way, he asked for warmth and then took a group photo, and soon the coffee was also placed in front of him.
After more than ten minutes of fuss, most of them dispersed, and Zhang Yao wiped a handful of sweat before his mood calmed down, which was too enthusiastic and quite nervous.
In the reception room, Yang Tian and a man and three women were added, and Yang Tian said: "Don't mind, the atmosphere in our editorial room has always been like this, and they are indeed looking forward to your arrival." ”
"Actually, I like this, but I feel flattered, and I'm a little weak."
Zhang Yaozhen didn't expect his arrival to cause such a sensation, after all, this is the editorial department, not a fan meeting, and he is just a newcomer with less than ten words.
"Because you are a hero in the hearts of everyone in our editorial department."
Yang Tian said meaningfully: "Although our painting king is successful, there has always been a problem that has been criticized, that is, the sales of the magazine are actually supported by Japanese comics, and the best-selling of magazines has actually played a role in promoting Japanese comics. ”
"Some people think that we supported the development of Japanese comics in China,Thus creating difficulties for the development of domestic comics,This can't be said to be wrong.,But it's not entirely right.,We're also very entangled ourselves.,It wasn't until your light girl appeared that we saw the dawn.,So it's not wrong to say that you're a hero.,It's not just our editor.,It's in the entire domestic animation market.。
Yang Tian's words were very heavy, and he also expressed the sadness of domestic cartoonists, Zhang Yao was speechless for a while, Yang Tian smiled again and said: "Gu said that I almost forgot to introduce you to this, these are your editors, this is Xiao He ......"
Yang Tian introduced everyone, and Zhang Yao also greeted them one by one.
