Chapter 175 Is the pancake delicious? [Chu Yun] Anyone here?
Suda was born in 72 and is 22 years old this year, which is younger than many of the girls He Xi knows and is close to.
However, He Xi didn't seem to have any desire to develop a relationship with her beyond work.
She's too average-looking.
However, this woman, who is of average appearance, has a very impressive resume from the original timeline.
He graduated from the Animation Department of the Beijing Film Academy in 94 and then joined the Shanghai Animation Film Studio.
He served as animation designer, director, executive director and other positions, and eventually worked his way up to become the director of Shanghai Animation Film Studio!
During this period, he directed the long-running animated television series "Big Ear TuTu".
He also served as the executive producer for two "Chinese Fantastic Tales" films and as the art consultant for "The Little Monster of Langlang Mountain".
In the future of Chinese animation, it will definitely be considered a major force.
But in this time and space, these sisters have come to [Tonight Comics].
I don't know what she's thinking now, whether she'll stay here after graduation or go to the Shanghai Animation Film Studio like she did in the original timeline.
However, since she's already here, [Big Ear TuTu] and [Chinese Fantastic Tales] naturally fall under He Xi's control.
【Big Ear TuTu】Although it's for young children, it has a market in mainland China!
Hearing He Xi call out his name, Su Da was very happy and immediately smiled broadly.
"Brother Xi, you like Vivian, and I like Vivian too, so we're on the same side!"
"Could you get me a signed album by Vivian? It'll be helping a comrade, okay?"
[Tonight Comics] Since they are all young people, He Xi has never put on airs as a boss from the beginning, so many employees are very close to him.
In formal settings, he's called "Boss," but most of the time he's called "Brother Xi."
Although they are generally older than He Xi.
He Xi rolled her eyes.
God the hell we're from the same country.
If that's the case, then I'm on the same side as Liu Kaiwei, Luo Jin, and Wu Qilong.
"Want Vivian's autographed album? Your idea is... well, you get the idea—"
He paused, shook his head and sighed, making Suda's smile almost disappear, before continuing.
"It's too easy!"
"Are you satisfied with just one autographed album?"
"If I were you, I'd ask to go to Hong Kong Island, attend Vivian's concert, and take a photo with her there!"
Suda was already starting to get emotional, and several people who were on good terms with her tried to come up and say a few nice things for her.
But when they heard He Xi's next sentence, everyone's expression changed instantly!
"Go to Hong Kong Island to attend Vivian Chow's concert, take a photo with her, shake hands, hug her, and get her autograph?"
"Do we—do we also have a chance?"
Everyone immediately looked at He Xi expectantly.
Although not all of them are fans of Vivian Chow, no dog would not want the opportunity to travel to Hong Kong Island and attend a concert!
These days, anyone who can travel abroad is a big shot!
Whether you're going on a business trip, studying, traveling, or immigrating!
Strictly speaking, going to Hong Kong Island is not considered going abroad.
However, the process and the feeling are quite similar.
Seeing their expectant looks, He Xi waved again.
"Vivian will have at least 12 concerts in June and July!"
"As long as everyone can complete their work with high quality and quantity during this period, everyone will get a share."
Let's go to Hong Kong Island together!
"The company covers all expenses, including food, accommodation, and transportation!"
The moment those words were spoken, the entire room erupted in chaos.
"Brother Xi is awesome!"
"Brother Xi is so great, I love you! Long live Brother Xi!"
"Brother Xi, I wish you and Vivian a healthy baby soon!"
"Brother Xi, I want to have your child. I don't want any title, I don't want to compete with Vivian for your affections, I just want our child to be as handsome as you!"
"Are you making a wish here?"
He Xi waited until they quieted down before continuing.
"That wasn't all!"
"If you can exceed the target, you will be eligible for a family member to accompany you."
"All expenses will be covered by the company!"
After he finished speaking, the scene suddenly fell into an eerie silence.
Then, without prior arrangement, everyone turned around and hurriedly returned to their seats, quickly getting to work.
He Xi has already praised me; saying more won't make him any happier.
Rest is not necessary.
If you're sleepy, take a nap; if you're not sleepy, work like crazy!
Rest? After you die, there will be plenty of time to rest!
Right now, all they want to do is work!
"Taking friends abroad at public expense" can directly improve your chances of finding a partner.
Seeing that all the employees had transformed into beasts and horses under his "encouragement," He Xi nodded in satisfaction.
【Impermanence】is a weekly publication and has been officially published 15 times in Hong Kong Island.
The average sales volume per issue reached 10 copies, and sales continue to rise.
It is currently competing with "Legend of the Emperor" for second place on the sales chart.
It is only 30,000 to 40,000 copies away from the number one book, "Fengyun".
However, closing this gap will not be so easy.
Hong Kong Island is too small, and the audience for comics is limited. Even the most popular works will find it difficult to sell more than 20 copies.
The mainland has a large population, but the income level is too low, so not many people can afford to buy genuine comics.
He Xi is already considering whether to produce a batch of pirated copies and distribute them in mainland China.
Piracy may not earn much, but the base number is large enough that the income can still be quite substantial.
He Xi can be a hater of his own in Hong Kong, and now he pirates his own books in mainland China, with almost no sense of immorality.
In addition to the Hong Kong Island and mainland markets, He Xi has also sent people to discuss the Japanese market.
Hong Kong comics can still sell some in Taiwan, Singapore, and Malaysia, but they have a hard time selling in Japan and South Korea, let alone Europe and America.
He Xi's "Impermanence" follows a style similar to Japanese manga, and combines the advantages of various Japanese manga genres.
The characters are distinctive, the clothing details are exquisite and fashionable, the lines are simple and clear, and the content is rich and substantial.
In addition, there's cinematic-quality shot composition and a captivating storyline.
Japanese and Korean readers will find it easy to accept.
In fact, several manga magazines in Japan have also expressed interest.
There are only some details left that I want to discuss with He Xi in person.
He Xi was also a little unsure about the real purpose of the Japanese side wanting to see her.
Although some Japanese people had previously gone to Hong Kong Island hoping to become apprentices and learn the real Karate Dansui-ryu style.
However, he had crippled several people in He Xi after all.
Who knows if there are any resentful people or those who harbor grudges and want to take revenge?
Therefore, going to Japan should be considered carefully.
We should at least wait until the security team is in place before making any decisions.
Regardless of the situation in Japan, the total sales of issue 15 in Hong Kong alone, amounting to 150 million copies, is quite considerable.
Each Hong Kong Island comic book costs HK$8, and He Xi, as the author and owner, receives about HK$2.
150 million copies, that's 300 million in revenue.
10 copies per issue, 40 copies per month, that's 80!
That would be enough to pay the salaries of the employees at [Tonight Comics] and cover all their travel and accommodation expenses for taking someone to Hong Kong Island.
After leaving the comic book company, He Xi received a call from Liu Hongmei.
"The school gave us two tickets, do you want to go see the show?"
"What kind of performance?"
He Xi asked casually.
"A musical, 'Chu Yun'!"
