Restaurant.

After Caroline, the "Captain of the United States", made a dream declaration, and the atmosphere of the dinner party became better and better, and everyone talked about the dream of the United States around Caroline.

Adam smiled bitterly in his heart, but he could only carefully reduce his sense of existence, as if he had returned to the era of drama spirits.

No one noticed that there was a dream blue lurking in the crowd.

Compared with Phoebe's various true fragrances, Adam can see that Caroline really has the feeling of 'Captain Mi' Wei Guangzheng.

It seems that the death of her father has indeed had too great an impact on Caroline.

Adam was respectful of this, but he didn't actively agree with it or have it on top.

He is long past the age of secondary two and is hot-blooded, and he sees everything in two.

Zhou Renshu said: Don't look at what others say, but look at what people do.

Adam was convinced.

Like an audience, he couldn't help but be a little distracted, and he thought of the Avengers from Caroline's 'Captain Mi' temperament, and his imagination diverged his thinking: "Captain Mi couldn't beat Loki, he almost knelt, Loki said: I said, kneel down ......"

After the dinner, the next period of time.

Adam finally got a taste of what it was like to be famous.

The 100,000 copies of the reprint were fully rolled out, and comments from the Lord of Mysteries began to appear in the newspapers, and Joey would happily show Adam the relevant reports whenever he saw the relevant reports when he took the newspaper to wrap the ham.

Of course, newspapers are just tabloids, not high-profile newspapers like the New York Times, and the 'booming scene' is actually just a small circle of excitement.

But compared to the previous unattended, it is much better.

What really touched Adam was the comic book companies and production companies that he kept finding through Jack, but they were all small production companies and small comic companies.

The idea of these small production companies is to buy some works that have potential but have not yet exploded, and then sell them to large companies that want to buy at a high price after the big hit, and act as middlemen to make the difference.

Adam naturally refused.

Even if the other party is sincere and not a middleman, he will not agree.

Because that's even worse.

For example, the copyright of the hard sci-fi god's work in the previous life was sold to a small company, and this small company is indeed not a middleman to make the difference, and wants to create a sci-fi blockbuster, but the strength does not allow it, and it ends up being pornographic.

That's pretty good.

Think about it, if what comes out in the end is a sci-fi romance movie, then it is really disgusting.

The comic company I found was slightly better.

But Adam still rejected those small comic companies, because the other party's channels and other resources were too poor, and even the quality of the master of comics and mysteries could not be guaranteed.

Until the dark horse company came.

The three major companies in the comic industry in the United States, DC, Marvel and Dark Horse.

DC and Marvel don't need to be introduced, they are both continuing their own superhero series, and if they can't be drawn, they will be restarted, but comic book fans will eat this set, so naturally they don't have to think about anything else.

The dark horse company mainly adapts some well-known non-comic works into comics, and uses the fame of the original to eat a wave of peripheral dividends.

The fame of the Lord of Mystery gradually increased, and naturally it also attracted the dark horse company.

After negotiations, under the promotion of Random House, Dark Horse Company gave a high royalty of 30%.

Comics are generally issued in a single book, a thin booklet, the general sales price is 4 dollars, and the first volume of the master of mystery clown, enough to be divided into more than 30 single books for sale, the total price can reach more than 120 dollars, starting from more than twice the novel.

As long as the average sales volume reaches 50,000 copies, deducting 30% of the contact fee to Random House, Adam can get 5 * 120 * 0.3 * 0.7 = 1.26 million dollars.

This is only comics, and copyrights such as film and television, games, and commercial licensing are the majority.

Harry Potter, Star Wars, Marvel, DC, and the full copyright industry chain of the fantasy universe is tens of billions or hundreds of billions at every turn.

So don't blame Dongguo for talking about IP later, it's really too fragrant and profitable to develop all copyrights.

The adaptation of the novel is much simpler than the original, and the dark horse company is also a large company, so it quickly organized a cartoonist to get the first single book, and took advantage of the convenience of the novel's release to launch the comic of the same name at the same time.

Compared with the mysterious master novels that are mostly text, the coexistence of images and texts in comics is more in the form of movie storyboards, and the small size and unit price are less than one-tenth, which is more suitable for large-scale promotion and dissemination.

4 U.S. knives, you can't buy them, you can't buy them at a loss, you can't be fooled.

New Jersey.

Leonard left class happily and walked out of the campus.

Ever since Adam scared Jimmy away with his 'I could fight all day' force, word spread that Leonard had a ruthless friend, and no one dared to bully him anymore.

After all, Jimmy's tall figure is one of the best in the rugby team, otherwise Sheldon's father, who has the same face and physical condition, would not have played rugby first and later became a rugby coach...... Serious face.

Not only that, but Becky, who he always thought was his girlfriend but had to hide underground for various reasons, no longer said the same sentence when he helped with his homework while she kept pouring white Russian cocktails into her mouth: "Leonard, you are so good, I wish all men were like you." ”

Occasionally, I also care about where Leonard's ruthless friend came from.

At this time, Leonard's wit came out, summing up the routines in the comics, all kinds of nonsense.

But Becky, who was always drunk and vomited, really believed it, and while vomiting, she was confused and discussed with Leonard who was holding her Adam Captain Rice, Spider-Man, Batman, ......· Duncan's saga.

In the future, such a Becky took the paper written by Leonard and went to Cornell University, one of the Ivy League schools.

Of course, the real reason is not that Leonard helped write the essay and the GPA of the high school homework perennial, but that Becky's family conditions are good.

Not everyone can drink White Russian cocktails every day at such a young age.

Except for the fact that Beverly, a cold and demanding mother who has never changed from beginning to end, and a normal birthday and holiday that has not been celebrated, the sun really shines into his life.

In his memory, the only time that was closest to the atmosphere of his birthday was when his grandfather died, and all his relatives got together, well, and cake, although he knew that it was not good, but he was quite happy that time.

Since childhood, he doesn't give gifts on holidays, but only sends papers to each other, which is actually quite fond of him for those who love science.

Leonard thought as he walked, as long as he blocked the family chores such as wetting his pants in public when he was so old and harmed by his cold and harsh mother, he would be full of happiness.

"There are new comics~"

Passing by the comic shop, Leonard's eyes lit up, and he pushed the door open with a smile on his face and walked in.

"Huh, Lord of Mysteries, Adam Duncan?!"

Because of the publicity, the comic book store put the master of mystery in a prominent position, Leonard saw it at a glance, and the painting style that was very different from that of superheroes attracted him at once, and when he opened it casually, his eyes were immediately given by the author's name.
