Less than ten days after the Spring Festival, Suhua university town is empty, students have not come back, and comic island is not as busy as before.
However, at this time, many departments of Phoenix company have already started to work, and employees have returned to their posts from all over the world. For the newcomers who just joined last year, this is the shortest vacation since they went to university.
Han Xuan and her four have all returned to comic island. They have been back for a few days. They are busy with their own work and haven''t seen each other yet.
In the guild hall with a huge stage on comic Island, Han Xuan and the staff of the office nervously prepared the largest party ever held by Phoenix company.
The name of the party is "Phoenix company''s new year''s festival". It is a grand festival in the new year. It is jointly held by Phoenix company and several TV stations. It is the first variety show in the comic world.
The host of the evening party is matched by famous hosts sent by different TV stations. Many professionals are invited to participate in the layout of the stage and the planning of the program.
This is destined to be a grand party. There are still a few days to go before the party. The stage is still decorated around, but rehearsal has begun on the top.
"Han Xuan, move that cherry tree to the right!"
"Good."
Han Xuan and some of her staff went to the right side of the stage with a cherry tree in their arms. At the new year''s festival, the core of the stage layout is phoenix and cherry blossom. Phoenix represents the company and cherry blossom represents spring.
At the moment, the stage has been decorated very beautiful and the style is bright. When the new year''s festival is held, the lighting effect will be turned on, and the whole hall will be like cherry blossoms.
After moving the cherry trees, Han Xuan stands on one side to have a rest. On the stage, a band is singing the animated song "the pirate king".
"I don''t think I''ve heard that song before?"
"It should be the song that will appear in the animation of the pirate king in the future. It''s just a surprise for the audience at the party."
Two colleagues talked about the Animation songs on the stage, while Han Xuan looked down the stage, where several directors were discussing the program.
The new year''s festival of Phoenix company is not only a festival to celebrate the new year, but also a channel for propaganda. Many popular animations will be arranged.
Just like the band on the stage, which is the official band of the pirate king, several songs were performed in this new year''s festival, and the major TV stations also actively won the opportunity to create momentum for the pirate king in the new year''s festival.
Of course, the same is true for other animations. Phoenix company has invested tens of millions of money in this evening party. Both programs and special effects should be the best.
"Well, that''s all for rehearsal this morning."
At the end of the song, a director came out and said to the performers in the audience, "disband. A new round of rehearsal will start at 3pm."
"Great, it''s over!"
"I''m going to stink. I sweat a lot during rehearsal. I''ll have to go back to take a bath later!"
"Goodbye, director Bai!"
The bands and voice actors in the audience are clamouring out.
Han Xuan is envious that these artists can finish their work ahead of time, but they can''t leave immediately. In order to get the stage ready in time, they often have to order takeout here for dinner.
But the busiest work is over. Today, they didn''t work overtime. Han Xuan successfully got off work at 12 o''clock and rushed to the hot pot shop in comic island with sweat.
Liu Yun will leave manga island tomorrow to work in Yanjing. At noon, Han Xuan and Li Yu plan to see her off at a self-service hot pot shop.
When Han Xuan arrived, the three had already sat down, and the ingredients were already on the table.
"If you don''t come again, we''ll start eating."
Liu Yun is going to put the ingredients into the hot pot. When she sees Han Xuan running in, she jokes that she came in time.
"Sorry, I''ve been busy all morning."
Han Xuan sat next to Li Yu and put down her bag. Li Yu looked at her sweating and handed her a tissue. She asked, "isn''t the stage decorated yet?"
"There are also some details." Han Xuan wiped her forehead and said, "I guess she will be busy until the new year''s festival."
At this time, Liu Yun has started to make hot pot.
"The new year''s festival, I heard it''s a big plan."
"Yes, for the company, it can further enhance our influence in the online world - it will be broadcast live on ho Hsi''s home app."
Han Xuan replied that Phoenix''s new year''s festival was broadcast live. App and special settings can enhance the interaction of the online audience. At the same time, in order to attract the audience, they also prepared a lot of prizes.The importance of this party to Phoenix company is self-evident, in which there are many new business model experiments, reward function is also expected by many people.
"It''s also a big deal for our firm." Han Xuan said with a smile: "many voice actors have the opportunity to appear, and after this party, many future voice actors'' concerts may be broadcast on the app."
"That''s good. That''s great!"
Liu Yun clapped. She wanted to see concerts before, but she often couldn''t see them. This is good. She can watch concerts directly on the Internet.
"But compared with the real concert, we have to delay it by a week to a month." Han Xuan added.
This is in order not to damage the interests of the concert itself. If you can see the concert on the Internet at the same time, how many people will be willing to spend money to watch it?
In order to ensure the quantity and quality of the live audience, it is normal for the concert to be delayed on the app - as for how long it will be extended, the partners of each concert may have different requirements.
"It''s OK. It''s OK later than not seeing it." Liu Yun doesn''t mind this. She is curious: "does our department also have activities in the new year''s festival?"
"Of course."
Han Xuan nodded. Liu Yun''s business department is a direct consumer oriented department. Naturally, there is no lack of surrounding and commodity marketing at the gala party.
"I seem to hear that this year''s Carnival will also be broadcast on the app?" Li Yu asked at this time.
Han Xuan nodded: "I seem to have heard of this plan."
Phoenix does have this plan. The annual carnival is their biggest event, so it is likely to be broadcast live on the app, using the sections of different TV stations to broadcast all the carnival activities.
"If the festival is successful, it may become a common festival like Carnival in the future."
Han Xuan also said that this new year''s festival is an experiment. If it is successful, it is likely to become an annual New Year''s festival. It''s not as big as a carnival. The definition is just a party, but it''s still useful.
If it can be realized, in the future, Phoenix company will have a new year''s festival on the day of winter and spring handover, and a cartoon carnival on the day of summer and autumn handover - an activity for half a year, but it will not be troublesome.
"Is there any program in the game department at the new year''s festival?"
Li Yu looks at Liu Yi.
Liu Yi shakes his head. He has been back to work for a week, but he has never heard of what the Department is going to announce in the new year''s festival. This party should mainly focus on the voice actors of the office.
"Don''t you have a game to sell this year? That demon... Yeah, world of Warcraft! " Li Yu said that the name of the game is a bit strange, she almost read out "magic world".
"Isn''t the new year''s festival a good time to announce news?"
"World of Warcraft" is planned to go on sale this year, but whether it can go on sale or not is still possible... "Liu Yi shakes his head. There are many variables in this game:" besides, the sale is also in the second half of the year. It won''t appear in the new year''s festival. "
If world of Warcraft wants to do marketing and promotion, it will have to operate in the carnival half a year later. The app of he Xizhi''s forum has a good response now, and the game department doesn''t have such a big sense of urgency.
He Xizhi''s app is the most important promotion channel of world of Warcraft, and also the communication channel between the game department and the players in the future. If this app is ready, the promotion will be simple in the future.
"Other people''s online games start marketing one or two years in advance, but your game is very calm."
"Teacher He Xi seldom disclosed his information."
"I''m curious if its sales can match that of Pokemon. Its version is also updated quickly and its sales are super high. It''s hard to surpass it!"
The girls smile, Liu Yi''s face with self-confidence: "Pokemon and world of Warcraft are two kinds of games, which can''t be compared, but if I can do it, world of Warcraft is certainly more powerful."
He also said that it''s not that the game department is calm, but that after "pirate king" has been on air for half a year, and the voice actors are also operating on he Xizhi''s App - that app will become the best tool for "world of Warcraft".
According to the development track of the app, in half a year, the number of its users has exceeded 100 million. How can world of Warcraft worry about its publicity?
"It turns out that this app has so many functions."
Li Yu is surprised. After listening to Liu Yi''s words, it seems that the app is the core business of Phoenix company this year.
When she first heard it, she didn''t expect it to have so many functions.Han Xuan and Liu Yun don''t know much about the potential of app, but they are more concerned about the upcoming new year''s festival than this, and soon turn the topic to the new year''s festival.
"When it comes to the new year''s festival, Shen Jie is sure to show up?" Li Yu asked.
Han Xuan nodded: "of course, I''ve asked the office. Every voice actor who comes out has to come out. She''s a famous voice actor who can''t escape."
"And what''s her show?"
"I don''t know that." Han Xuan shakes her head. Shen Jie doesn''t come back to rehearse. She doesn''t understand: "but the real program of Xiachuan has been scheduled. She is the princess of the new year''s festival."
"Princess?" The other three looked at each other: "what do you mean?"
"On the surface, she is the" central role "of this year''s new year''s festival, and the theme song of the party will also be sung by her. The" central role "has a special title, and the girl is called Princess."
Han Xuan replied that although the new year''s festival has not yet created a brand, Phoenix has made some special plans for its future. Every year, there is a "central role" in the new year''s festival. The female is called the princess, and the male is called the prince. It refers to the person who has made the greatest contribution to the comic and animation industry in the past year.
It turned out that many people wanted to vote for He Xi in the voting for this role, but He Xi was absent for half a year, and he didn''t want to, so he finally had to cancel.
Although she left for a few months last year, it was really a brilliant year for her, so people chose her as the heroine of this year and the princess of the first new year''s festival.
"How handsome..." Li Yu heard the word "Princess" for the first time, her eyes shining: "is this princess only a voice actor?"
Han Xuan shook her head: "No
In this vote, many people voted for Qin ya, which shows that there is no limit to career, but voice actors do have many advantages.
"Is Xiachuan really coming back? How did I hear... "
"She will come back." Han Xuan already had the news: "yesterday, the office got the news that she would come back to attend the new year''s festival."
"It''s no wonder that Xiachuan is so popular that she is the leading role." Liu Yun nodded.
Liu Yi muttered: "in fact, there is another person who is more powerful than her..."
"You say Meng Huo? Ha ha... Didn''t Han Xuan just say it''s impossible? He never appears on such occasions
"It''s so important this time that you can''t even play? His carnival comes out every year! " Liu Yi looked at Han Xuan and said, "do you have any news?"
"Meng Huo... Didn''t..." Han Xuan shook her head. "I heard that there was a simple speech, but it didn''t say what the program was. It seemed that there was no other arrangement."
Liu Yi was disappointed. In fact, he really wanted to see Meng Huo play. He hadn''t seen Meng Huo play the piano for a long time. Last year, his songs were basically handed over to the band.
"Don''t be disappointed too soon." Han Xuan said with a smile: "I''m not sure that the program list will change. And if he''s going to do something, everyone else will give him time, and it can''t be said that he really won''t show up. "
He Xi is special. As long as he has a need and doesn''t need to reserve in advance, the stage will change immediately because of him, so no one is sure whether he will come out to perform - in fact, there are many people looking forward to him, and he may meet the expectations of some people.
"So it is."
Liu Yi nodded in relief.
"The new year''s festival is broadcast live on the app. Many tickets are not for sale... If you want, I can get them for you."
Han Xuan said.
"I want it!"“ I want it, too! "
Li Yu and Liu Yi immediately said to, Liu Yun some helpless: "it''s very kind of you, I can''t come back to see, the new year''s Festival I''ll watch on my mobile phone."
When her hot pot was ready, Liu Yun called, and several young people moved their chopsticks.
On this day, Alice is sitting in the courtyard in the sunshine. Meng Huo and Xia Chuan actually get on the flight back to Suhua. Shen Jie begins to practice singing during her working break. Qin Ya walks into the station with the white dog in her arms.
The new year is coming
