Chapter 46: Dark Horse Comics
Ten minutes later.
Jean was dropped off at the school gate by a temporary nanny.
Lily and Jean were then led by the school staff to go through the enrollment process.
Accompanied by Lynn, Wang went to the principal's office to discuss the upcoming speech.
It has to be said that there is a certain reason why Herris Mann Private can become the two most famous educational institutions in the United States on a par with Harvard Westlake Private in California.
Just by looking at the fact that it can have a beautiful campus in New York, where every inch of land is at a premium, you can see how deep the school board of trustees behind the school is.
Wang gradually looked at the trees on the campus, which were hung with precious plant logos.
I thought about the harsh environment in the Bronx when I first crossed over.
He couldn't help but shake his head, and he had a deeper understanding of the so-called capitalism in his heart.
A moment later.
Led by Lynn, Wang gradually came to the principal's office.
A middle-aged white man with small stature and glasses appeared in front of him.
"Hello, you are the author of the Arcane Throne, Wang Yan?" the other party stretched out his hand and said, "I am the headmaster of Herris Mann School, you can call me Dave. ”
"Hello. Wang Jian also stretched out his hand and said, "It is a great honor to be invited by your school to come and speak. ”
"This is my speech, please correct. ”
With that, he handed the speech to the other party.
Unexpectedly, this middle-aged white man named Dave just glanced at the speech at random, and then handed it back.
Then, he said, "Actually, I invite you this time, in addition to hoping that you, as the author of "Arcane Throne", will encourage students to study seriously. The main thing is that there is another person who wants to take this opportunity to discuss something with you. ”
With that, he used the office phone to inform the secretary outside the door, "Invite Mr. Mike Richardson from the VIP room." ”
Wang was stunned for a moment, then looked at the red-haired Lynn.
I saw that Lynn was also at a loss, obviously not knowing who this Mike Richardson was.
Just when Wang gradually and Lynn looked at each other, thinking about what was going on.
The door to the principal's office opened, and a very tall middle-aged white man walked in.
When the white man entered, he just gave the principal and Lynn a casual look.
Then, he put all his attention on Wang Yan.
He walked two quick steps, came to Wang Yan's side, and said, "It's a great honor to meet you, I like your 'I Am an Archmage' and 'Arcane Divine Throne' very much. ”
Wang gradually was still confused at the moment.
Who is this grandson?
It can make the principal of Herris Mann School as an introducer, and it looks like a lot of energy.
Wang gradually shook hands with the other party and asked, "Who are you?"
"Oh, I forgot to introduce myself. The tall white man said, "I'm the chairman of Dark Horse Comics, Mike Richardson. ”
Dark Horse Comics?
What is it?
Wang gradually still looked at each other blankly.
And Lynn, who was beside Wang Yan, reacted.
She whispered to Wang: "Dark Horse Comics is the third largest comic company in the United States, second only to DC Comics and Marvel Comics. ”
"However, the difference with these two comics is that. ”
"Dark Horse Comics will put more energy into non-comic works that have gained a certain degree of popularity, and then adapt them into comics for sale. ”
"The comics of "Star Wars" were adapted and distributed by the Dark Horse comics. ”
Comic book adaptation?
Wang was stunned at first.
However, because there has already been an advertising authorization for "I Am the Archmage".
He reacted quickly.
The other party should be that they want to get the rights to adapt the comics of "I Am an Archmage" or "Arcane Throne".
I just don't know which one the other party is looking at, and how much the license fee will be.
Mike Richardson just smiled as Lynn introduced himself to Wang.
After his introduction, he said again: "I think there is a basis for cooperation between Dark Horse Comics and you." ”
"The main focus of our Dark Horse Comics is to make comic adaptations, so there are certain flaws in the original comics. ”
"And you, as a best-selling fantasy author, we naturally have a basis for collaboration. ”
"What's more, you have this original website under your name. ”
"In particular, at present, your website has been revised, and all the works published on it, the copyright around it, and the website have priority. ”
"Then, I think Dark Horse Comics can cooperate with us in depth, and we will use a very good price to package and obtain the comic adaptation rights of the works on the website. ”
Cooperate with the whole?
Wang's heart jumped.
Immediately afterward, it felt like something was a little strange.
The revamp of the website is currently known only to himself, Tom, Rossi, and the author of "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone" in Europe.
Even the authors of some of the most popular works on the site only know a rough idea.
How did this Mike Richardson know?
Could it be Tom or Rosie who is in collusion with each other?
Wang Yan, who has lived in the financial capital of New York for a period of time, has been affected by the environment here, and his personality has changed to a certain extent.
This is especially true when it comes to interests.
Therefore, he looked at Mike Richardson across from him warily.
But he didn't expect that on the surface, Mike Richardson was talking about cooperation with him.
In fact, Richardson also has a strong dislike for Wang gradually in his heart.
It all stemmed from the sudden collapse of the star card market this year.
Then, the downturn in the star card market affected the comics' periphery.
All kinds of comic memorabilia can't be sold, and comic book companies, including DC and Marvel, are in financial crisis.
As a result, the comic giants began to find another way.
Now, Marvel is beginning to deepen its cooperation with Hollywood.
DC Comics, on the other hand, began to strengthen its cooperation with TV drama production companies.
And Dark Horse Comics, as a giant of comics, has fallen into a very embarrassing situation.
Because most of the best-selling products in hand only have comic copyrights, it is impossible for Dark Horse Comics to learn from Marvel and DC Comics for in-depth development.
Then, Dark Horse Comics can only seek transformation.
Mike Richardson saw the creativity of the Marvel Studios model and was ready to come to New York to hire some down-and-out writers.
Let them provide ideas for comic creation.
Then, further development is carried out.
As a result, when he came to New York and was about to find a down-and-out writer who was optimistic about it, he was actually rejected when he invited the other party to Dark Horse Comics.
This confuses Richardson.
After many contacts with this down-and-out writer.
Richardson only learned that there was such a website.
