Chapter 178: What is that

On Wednesday, as soon as Meng Huo went to work, Xu Jing called him to the office.

"Sit down, I'll pour tea..."

The chairman comforted Meng Huo on the sofa and smiled and took out the tea to make tea. He put the cup in front of Meng Huo and carefully ordered a cup of hot tea for him.

"Drink and see."

Under his sign, Meng Huo picked up the tea cup with some doubts and took a sip slowly.

"How?"

Xu Jing asked with bright eyes.

"Huh? It's not like the usual tea..." Meng Huo frowned slightly: "How can I say it, it's bitter when I drink it, but after drinking, only a scent stays."

"Yes, that's right! This is Jiangnan special grade tea. The aroma after drinking is not variegated." Xu Jing clapped his hands and praised: "This kind of tea is not sold in the market, and there is no brand. It can only be obtained through acquaintances."

"But Meng Huo, most people can't notice the difference between it and other teas. It seems that your kid has a talent for drinking tea!"

Xu Jing wanted to sell his tea studies again.

"Well, you didn't find me to invite me to drink tea!"

Meng Huo interrupted him. Xu Jing must have encountered happy things when he took out such good tea.

"You are right, there are two main things." Xu Jing sat opposite Meng Huo, and then smiled: "After a few days of CCTV News, the sales of our company's magazines have grown gratifyingly."

"Many bookstores in the mainland have increased the number of bookings for "Weekly Boys" and "Weekly Girls". This week's book has not yet been released, and the book sales have increased by 300,000 copies before you come. Our company also has a year. Can't add so many reservations."

Xu Jing looked at Meng Huo's eyes full of admiration. This child is really the lucky star of Phoenix Company. Since Meng Huo made his debut in Phoenix, Phoenix's performance has surpassed the previous ten years in just six months.

This is quite incredible. Now, "Weekly Boy" and "Weekly Girl" have been cut in half, the quality has improved, and the prospects are bright. The most worrying issue of Zhongxia, after the broadcast of CCTV news, the market is also full of confidence in Phoenix, and they have taken a firm foothold with the momentum of thunder.

Although the future remains to be seen. But in a short period of time, Phoenix will no longer be overwhelmed by the pressure of Zhongxia.

"How powerful is CCTV news?"

Meng Huo was surprised.

"The power of CCTV is of course great." Xu Jing poured himself a cup of tea and replied: "But for the news itself, the time is too short, and the audience may not care too much about it. The power of CCTV news is mainly its influence. force."

He explained to Meng Huo in detail that CCTV news is a weather vane for all media, and its influence on the media far exceeds its influence on the audience. CCTV introduced He Xi. Many viewers didn't feel much about it, but the media was different.

The local media discovered that the central government actually broadcasted news about a cartoonist. Naturally follow the trend for a while. The result is that follow-up reports about He Xi will appear in various regions, and these reports are what attracts readers' attention.

CCTV news flashed by. However, the follow-up effect it brings is very large, and it is difficult for Phoenix to do this by relying on its own advertising.

"And Meng Huo, except for the two periodicals, the sales of "Five Centimeters Per Second" has increased even more." Xu Jing took a sip of tea, put it down with satisfaction, and smiled: "The publishing house has been busy these days. It is conservatively estimated. , CCTV’s press conference will increase the total sales volume of "Five Centimeters Per Second" by 5 million."

Five million sales, which is half of the current sales of "Five Centimeters Per Second". There are many reasons for this situation, and the key is the difference in advertising before and after. A few months ago, the booklet "Five Centimeters Per Second" was released, and when the Phoenix Company was preparing to promote it with much fanfare, Zhongxia Comics was born.

The arrival of Zhongxia is like a big mountain, it has occupied people's sight. Phoenix Company's investment in the promotion of "Five Centimeters Per Second" was in vain, and Xu Jing was regretting that the timing was not good in his dreams for the past few days.

But just when he thought there was no hope, "Five Centimeters Per Second" was very competitive and broke through 10 million sales. Seeing this result, Xu Jing gritted his teeth and went to Yanjing, saying it was for "Dream Eater", but why not to prevent "Five Centimeters Per Second" from being buried!

However, the biggest hero is Meng Huo. Without him, the following things would not happen. This is one reason why Xu Jing came to Meng Huo today, and he wanted to thank this child well.

"Meng Huo, the company is up to now. It's up to you. I won't talk about the manuscript fees and royalties. The company will listen to you within half a year. I don't care about it." Xu Jing said cheerfully: "You have worked so hard these two weeks. What other rewards do you want, say it, I can give it all..."

"How about I paid for the house for you? Or do you want a sweaty car? Other things are okay...except for my daughter, whatever you want."

Meng Huo was a little moved. This old man made a clear distinction between public and private. If he wanted to reward Meng Huo with things, he would only spend his own money, and would never use company property. To be honest, Xu Jing treated Meng Huo's righteousness and righteousness. To the end.

He even handed over the company to Meng Huo. At this time, in any case, Meng Huo couldn't make any high demands, but he couldn't dispel Xu Jing's interest.

"Then cake..." Meng Huo thought for a while and replied: "I want a big cake, enough for hundreds of people to eat, so I can host a banquet in the company!"

He doesn't need anything, he can pay for the house later, and he has no interest in cars. Xu Jing wants to be rewarded, it is better to reward the employees of the entire company, and the cake is very cheap, which is just a drop in the bucket for Xu Jing.

"Cake?" Xu Jing looked astonished, and then laughed: "You kid, okay, the cake is just the cake, I will prepare a super big cake for you!"

He was very pleased with Meng Huo's answer. Meng Huo knows how to accept and be grateful, which is why Xu Jing feels relieved to him.

Phoenix must be in Meng Huo's hands and nothing will happen. Xu Jing believes that even if he leaves the company one day, Meng Huo will still treat Phoenix and his family well...

Xu Jing felt very lucky to find such a child as his heir.

"You said there are two things to find me, what is the other one?" Meng Huo asked again.

"Wait." Xu Jing nodded, got up, picked up a card from the table, and handed it to Meng Huo when he came back: "This is the director of the CCTV animation team, um...not the one who reviewed "Pokemon "Director of the manuscript."

Meng Huo looked through the card. It was a business card. It said CCTV Animation Group B, director Su Yuhua, and a female director: "Why is this director looking for me?"

"She wants to shoot the animation of "Detective Conan" and wants to buy the copyright." Xu Jing smiled and said: "I think this is an opportunity. CCTV's animation channels and publicity are better than ours. Your "Detective Conan" "It will definitely be famous in her hands."

"And it will also greatly promote your development..."

Xu Jing looked at Meng Huo’s expression and added: “Our company has its own animation production team. It’s a pity to give up "Detective Conan", but there are too many people producing an animation, and hundreds of people can maintain efficiency. "Pokemon" is a full-length animation. I don't know how many years it will be serialized. We don't have the energy to make "Detective Conan"."

Meng Huo understands this very well. Animation production is very difficult. It is already quite good to serialize one series, but it is impossible to serialize several series at the same time. Phoenix Company is unable to gather so many artists.

And "Detective Conan" and "Pokemon" are not short animations. It is a good choice to hand over one of them, especially CCTV is the top choice.

Of course, Meng Huo is still a bit reluctant. "Detective Conan" is an animation that can be serialized for decades and can even maintain the long-term survival of an animation team. Is it a loss to others?

"I think about it..."

He put away his business card and decided to think about it again: "By the way, how was the ratings for "Pokemon" last week?"

"33.8%..." When he mentioned this, Xu Jing's expression changed slightly. He looked at Meng Huo, and the more he looked at him, the more he didn't understand: "What the **** did you kid do? Others say "Pokemon" takes a month to work. Exceeding the ratings of "Cat and Mouse Couple", you almost surpassed it in a week."

"The hearts of many film critics are almost scared by you..."

33.8%. This figure surprised Meng Huo. It was only 28% last week. The spread of "Pokemon" is beyond imagination. Who said this animation was bad in the last life? Okay... Maybe the latter ones are not good, but the first ones are the essence.

"By the way, there is one more thing..."

Xu Jing clapped his hands, as if he had just remembered: "From the night before yesterday, there was a group called s5 that wanted to find you... What is it to apologize, do you want to take time to meet them?"

"S5?"

Meng Huo remembered that there seemed to be a celebrity group who had said bad things about "Pokemon"~lightnovelpub.net~ and also made a bet with Xifeng. Could they come here to bow down and beg for forgiveness?

Imagine the appearance of five people kneeling in front of him. The goose bumps on Meng Huo's body are about to come up.

"I don't want to see them." He has been so busy lately that he didn't have time to pay attention to these people who appeared. Moreover, once contact with such things as celebrities, he may be hyped again. He wants to work quietly.

"You make people reject them, just say that I didn't take their words to heart." Meng Huo said, and suddenly felt wrong. Does he always forgive others for cowardice? What if it encourages unhealthy trends and more people will use him for hype in the future?

"Well then, you tell them to apologize publicly, but you don't have to eat the real thing..."

"So what is it?"

Xu Jing asked amusingly.

"Knowingly asking..."

Meng Huo got up and left. (To be continued...)
