Chapter 194: Saving the Country with a Curve
As soon as the Zhang family's ban order came out, the studio was already in danger, and the tax checks and licenses came in a hurry, and the studio was already in a state of suspension for rectification.
Fortunately, the Zhang family didn't know that Zhang Yao still had the identity of a cartoonist, otherwise "The King of Picture Books" would probably be unlucky, and the "King of Picture Books" in the original time and space died for an absurd reason.
Because of this, the rest of the studio was also panicked, Zhang Yao endured the unhappiness and took out ten more Cantonese songs, then recorded, filmed the MV, and spent two months to make the album.
During this period, no matter how they took the initiative to disclose the news, they still didn't see a single media come to interview, and Caiyun Satellite TV, which has always had a good relationship with him, just said sorry.
There is no news in the news media, a post is deleted, and the publishers who have had a very good relationship with them all just apologize, no matter how big or small, dare not take the risk.
"It seems that this time it is really a dead end."
Zhang Yao smiled bitterly, and Zheng Xiao also asked, "What did the Zhang family say, did they do this to take revenge on you, or for other reasons?" ”
"Almost, it seems to me to be the same."
Zhang Yao said: "Cheng Yuan and Zhang Yuanhao both called, saying that Zhang Yunwei just wanted me to retreat from the difficulty, but it was just like Song Li, just waiting for me to beg them." ”
"With the ability of the Zhang family. Indeed, don't take chances. ”
Ai Xiaoqi said: "How is the situation in Hong Kong and Taiwan? Maybe there's a glimmer of possibility. ”
Zhang Yao and Zheng Xiao also contacted TVB's Li Menglan. This female leader, who has seen strong winds and waves, can only express helplessness, although Hong Kong is a special administrative region, some situations will not change either.
The same is true for companies in Taiwan, although the hand of the Zhang family is not yet in Taiwan, but Taiwanese companies are cooperating more and more closely with the mainland, and unless they plan to give up the mainland market, no one will be willing to take the risk.
Zhang Yao looked around, but the albums that had been produced could only be stacked in the warehouse. It can't be distributed through online channels, and the music platform that was originally rushing to buy the copyright is now afraid of him.
"Things have come to this point, and there are only two ways to go."
Zheng Xiaoyi sighed and said: "Either you give up your persistence and recognize Zhang Yunwei as your father and return to the Zhang family, or you will bid farewell to the entertainment industry from now on and concentrate on drawing comics." ”
"I'm a person, and one of my shortcomings is that I eat soft rather than hard."
Zhang Yao shook his head and said: "The more they do this, the less likely it is for me to beg the Zhang family, and I will not give up music." Now that you have chosen this path, you have to finish it on your knees. ”
"It's not kneeling anymore. Is it okay to lie on your stomach? ”
Ai Xiaoqi complained, and Hoshino Asuka said: "If the Celestial Empire doesn't work, Zhang Yao, you can consider going to a foreign country for development, such as our island country, so that the Zhang family has no choice, right?" ”
"It's not so easy to go to a foreign country for development."
Ai Xiaoqi shook his head and said: "To put it mildly, the current situation in the Celestial Empire is that it is easy for the stick to develop, but it is difficult for the Chinese people to go out to develop. ”
"That's not necessarily, just because others can't do it doesn't mean I can't."
Zhang Yao was not so pessimistic, his eyes lit up and said: "Asuka's words reminded me that it is a good idea to develop abroad, mainly because my influence in the world is strong enough, I don't believe that the Zhang family can still ban me." ”
"There's a lot of faith, but have you thought about anything specific?"
Zheng Xiao also said: "What is certain is that it will be more difficult abroad than at home, and it is not okay for you to go out recklessly like this, even if you really want to go abroad for development, you have to plan carefully." ”
"I believe in Zhang Yao's ability."
Hoshino Asuka said: "If Zhang Yao is willing, you can go to our country first, I know some studios, although they are mainly engaged in animation, but anime music is also music." ”
"Speaking of which, I remember that some time ago, the school announced that it was possible to apply to go to the island country as an exchange student."
Ai Xiaoqi clapped her hands and said: "If you really want to go, then I'll go too, it should be easy to get a place if you have some connections." ”
"I also submitted my application to become an international student, but I think the quota will be finalized when the quota is finalized, and it is too late to regret it now."
Hoshino Asuka followed with a smile: "Anyway, I'm staying for you, so if you go, I'll go back, and I'll invite you to eat conveyor sushi when the time comes." ”
"Well, it looks like you've completely sat down and decided."
Zheng Xiaoyi rubbed her forehead, and Ai Xiaoqi asked, "Sister Xiaoyi, do you want to go together?" Anyway, now that the studio is blocked, there's nothing to do, so let's just go play. ”
"I don't know Japanese, and I'm just going to watch anime, so it's useless to go."
Zheng Xiaoyi said: "It's rare to be idle like this, I still think that I can take advantage of this time to go home more often to accompany my parents, you go first, if I miss you, I will fly over, anyway, it is also very convenient." ”
"We still have two album contracts with TVB's Huaxing Records, so it seems that it can only be over."
Zhang Yao sighed again, suddenly remembered something, and said, "By the way, it's not like that. The Zhang family is just targeting me, and Sister Xiaoyi, you will definitely not be so harsh, and the rest of the contract may be fulfilled by Sister Xiaoyi. ”
"You're gone, what's the point of me being alone."
Zheng Xiao also shook his head, looking lacking in interest, Zhang Yao said: "Don't be like this, it's not like I won't come, music is our hobby and dream, and we can't miss it if we have the opportunity." ”
"Now look at the Zhang family's attitude towards Sister Xiaoyi is the same, right?"
Hoshino Asuka said: "I said before that you shouldn't be lucky, according to me, Sister Xiaoyi should go with us, in this case, returning to the island country is no different from staying in Qingxi." ”
"This requires Xiaoqi's help, I think it's feasible."
Zhang Yao said: "Even if I and the Zhang family are family affairs, Sister Xiaoyi is not, if the Zhang family wants to hold on to Sister Xiaoyi, Ai Xiaoqi's parents should be able to handle it, they won't even sell this face." ”
"There's no problem with that, I dare to pack the ticket."
Ai Xiaoqi patted her chest and reassured, Zheng Xiaoyi glanced at Zhang Yao and said, "Okay, I'll listen to you." ”
I listen to you, a very common sentence, but the meaning contained is not unusual at all.
"Then it was decided. Sister Xiaoyi, if you're fine, you have to fly over to us often. ”
Ai Xiaoqi said earnestly, and then asked: "Zhang Yao, you are still famous at Caiyun University, and you can stay for a tourist visa for a short time, do you want to apply for an exchange student quota as well?" ”
"Forget it, go in the name of an exchange student, if you don't study well, you will be repatriated."
Zhang Yao said: "The visa is not a problem, the relationship between the king of painting books and Shueisha is so good, just find a reason, and besides, isn't there still Asuka." ”
Hoshino Asuka squinted her eyes and smiled, "That's right, if it doesn't work, I can also help with the work visa, so it won't be a problem." ”
When the matter was decided, Zhang Yao was busy applying for a visa, while Ai Xiaoqi and Hoshino Asuka were busy applying for it, and called Yang Tian to explain the matter, and the magazine was also willing to help after understanding the situation. Now Zhang Yao's manuscripts are sent by email, and it will not affect where he goes.
Ai Xiaoqi's application did not encounter any obstacles, the school was very smooth, her parents did not object, for her, the knowledge in the school is only the foundation, where to study is actually the same, and the quality of university teaching in the island country is not necessarily worse than Caiyun University, so she was quickly prepared.
When these things were over, the theatrical version of "Easy Girl" was also grandly released, and the box office on the first day of release had exceeded 20 million, and it performed well in the hit of many blockbusters.
Selling cuteness to save the world, some media use such exaggerated and sensational headlines to report, such articles will only be more exciting in the eyes of fans, and this box office dark horse is still soaring.
In the end, it is not surprising that "Easy Girl" became the box office champion of domestic animations, knocking some orc animations to the ground, and at the same time, it was also announced that this theatrical version will be released in the island country.
After such success, Shangmei Film is also becoming more and more confident, Le Xiaotian's "Legend of the Warlock" TV version has been launched, in addition to Zhang Yao's "Silver Soul", they also set their sights on Tang Rui's "One Piece".
Originally, Zhang Yao and Tang Rui both preferred the name One Piece, but after Tang Rui handed over the content of the first episode to the editor, the editor proposed to change the name, because the name One Piece was really indecent, so it eventually became One Piece.
Tang Rui has not serialized a few words yet, but his popularity has soared rapidly, and it has already exceeded the average level of domestic comics, closely behind "The Legend of the Warlock" and "Gintama".
Le Xiaotian has not forgotten to thank Zhang Yao for his help from time to time, and Tang Rui is the same, the opening shows that the comic has been guided by Zhang Yao, and it is estimated that this is also one of the wishes that the plot has not yet become so popular.
Now Zhang Yao has the support of a golden finger in the comics industry, as long as he points out whomever he can become popular, Yang Tian also said on the phone that many cartoonists under the "Picture Book King" have expressed their hope that the magazine will hold an annual meeting, in order to communicate with him, but unfortunately he is going to the island country.
