Lu Menglin also wanted to ask this uncle about the situation in Beijing, if he wanted to submit the report materials, should he send it directly to the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection or the National Textile Bureau?

After greeting the editor-in-chief Hu Yiming in the hotel lobby, Lu Menglin decided to go back to the room to have a look, what if Uncle Ji is there?

As a result, when I reached the door of room 402, I heard a fierce quarrel coming from the room.

Lu Menglin's first reaction was that Master Wang had come to make trouble again, took out his room card, and swiped open the door.

As a result, as soon as the door opened, good guy, it was full of smoke inside, and even the figure couldn't be seen clearly, so shocked that Lu Menglin almost thought it was on fire.

"Is it Xiao Lu, come in!" said Uncle Ji's deep voice in the smoke.

Lu Menglin didn't go in, but opened the door first, letting the smoke inside disperse.

Only then did he see clearly that there were three people in the room, who were devouring clouds and fog, and the ashtrays on the table were almost full.

Except for Uncle Ji, Lu Menglin didn't know the remaining two people.

However, the appearance of these two seems to be quite eye-catching.

The man sitting directly opposite Uncle Ji gave people the first feeling that he was thin, extremely thin, about thirty years old, although his cheekbones were a little high, but his nose and eyes were high, and his whole face line had a kind of feminine beauty.

This thin man is brightly dressed and well-cut, and the body line is well outlined, he has a slender cigarette between his fingers, looking forward to the eyes, and there is a faint charm between his gestures.

As soon as Lu Menglin saw this man with feminine beauty, his heart suddenly chuckled, and he felt a little uncomfortable.

As for the other man in the room, he sat upright by the windowsill, with a square head and big ears, a short and fat figure, and looked like a businessman, but the temperament on his body was a little special, and he always felt that he was different from other people, but he couldn't tell what was the difference.

"Xiao Lu, you came just in time! Let me introduce you, these two are very powerful friends. Uncle Jihu's voice sounded a little hoarse, as if he hadn't rested well, and then he talked a lot and smoked a lot.

Lu Menglin didn't like the smell of smoke, and he didn't like the feeling of being arranged very much, so he shook his head and said, "No need, let's talk! I'll take something out for a walk." ”

Before the words fell, Uncle Ji Hu jumped to the door, stretched out his hand and grabbed Lu Menglin's arm, and said in a low voice: "Don't leave yet, let's talk." ”

Lu Menglin saw that Uncle Jihu's eyes were full of bloodshots, and his face was much haggard compared to yesterday, but his spirit was extremely excited.

"Okay, if you don't mind, I'd like to open the doors and windows to let me in. Lu Menglin strode into the house and stretched out his hand to push the window open.

Fresh air poured into the room, and the smell of smoke was immediately dispelled.

And Lu Menglin's small move made the other two people present feel slightly stunned.

Although this young man is young, it can be seen from this detail that he is very assertive and is not an object that can be easily fooled.

"Xiao Lu, this is Ah V, he used to be the editor-in-chief of "The King of Picture Books", and now he is an independent publisher. Uncle Ji Hu patiently introduced.

The man with a rather feminine beauty raised his head, looked up and down Lu Menglin's body, and finally fell on his face, and the two looked at each other.

Lu Menglin was not afraid to look directly at the other party, but he felt that this guy's eyes seemed to be weird, and it was easy to see that he was a little stubborn, but with a touch of shyness.

"This person is so strange!" Lu Menglin had already made his first evaluation in his heart.

"There is also this one, the Japanese businessman Tadao Hojo, who works in the investment department of Miura Corporation. Uncle Ji Hu continued.

"Japanese?" Lu Menglin was stunned for a moment, he really didn't expect that he would meet the Japanese in 98, it seems that this trip to Beijing was really not in vain, interesting, very interesting.

Just listening to the positions of these two, Lu Menglin had already vaguely guessed Uncle Ji Hu's thoughts in his heart, but he naturally wouldn't say anything, just nodded, looking very indifferent.

Uncle Ji Hu continued: "We are negotiating a business related to you, I want to buy the copyright of your "Antimatter War", ask them to adapt it into a comic, re-publish a single book, and publish it by Hainan Publishing. ”

Sure enough, Lu Menglin's heart moved slightly.

Uncle Ji Hu is from Hainan Photography Art Publishing House, this Ah V is the former editor-in-chief of the magazine "Picture Book King", Japanese businessmen have investment in their hands, they want to adapt "Antimatter War" into comics, integrate resources, make Chinese comics, and make a comeback.

Lu Menglin smiled slightly, and said casually: "The King of Picture Books is a very good publication, it's a pity!"

When the editor Ah V heard this, his eyes suddenly lit up.

Although it was a short year, the semi-monthly "Picture Book King" led to the development of Chinese comics, and also made Japanese publishers see the hope of the Chinese comics market.

I have to say that ginger is still old and spicy, and Uncle Ji Hu's idea is definitely marketable.

He integrated the original team of Hainan Photography Art Publishing House, plus the editorial team of "The King of Picture Books", and with the help of the strength of Japanese investors, he bought the copyright of Lu Menglin's newcomer science fiction works, and wanted to use this strongest team to produce pure Chinese comics.

If this work can be successfully released, I believe it will be a milestone masterpiece.

However, if Lu Menglin's experience in later generations seems to be, this large-scale production of multi-party cooperation is very likely to be Huang Liang's dream, and it is difficult to really realize it.

Because the production cycle is too long, adapting the novel into a comic itself takes time, and it also needs to be published and distributed to open up the market, even if these can be completed by fire, but the length of this "Anti-Material War" is only 30,000 words, which cannot support such a long front.

It seems that Uncle Jihu's side has no choice but to fight against the water. If he can't start the project as soon as possible, Hainan Photography and Fine Arts Publishing House will completely shut down.

Seeing that Lu Menglin was silent, Ji Hu thought he was worried about the copyright price, and hurriedly said: "Xiao Lu, you don't have to worry about the price, since we want to work together to create your book, the price will definitely be the highest in the industry, and we also hope to bring you out." We're confident!"

Lu Menglin smiled, shook his head and said, "If you want to save Hainan Photography Art Publishing House, this novel alone is not enough." ”

"That's why we decided to change it to comics, and we will invite the best artists in China to draw them, and the Japanese side will also give technical guidance, and strive to make high-quality products, and reopen the domestic market. Ah V said sharply.

Lu Menglin shook his head and said lightly: "It's not enough! How long are you going to spend doing this? If you can't maintain the continuous heat, how long can the Japanese side's funds be burned?"

Unexpectedly, Lu Menglin, a high school student, was surprised by the three people in the room.

This key point is also the focus of the quarrel between the three people in the house just now.

Ji Hu believes that it is possible to take one step at a time, start operating Lu Menglin's popular novel first, and then replicate this successful model.

Ah V thinks that this method is too risky, what to do with the next work, where is the copyright? When there is nothing, it is a dead end to make a rash move.

The management representative, Tadao Hojo, remained neutral, and he was not opposed to providing a sum of money to try, and agreed with Ah V that he had to see the road ahead before he could start the gamble.

For Ji Hu, this may be the last chance for Hainan Photography Art Publishing House, only by winning this project and getting this investment can the scattered popularity be gathered, if there is no team, there will really be nothing.

And he also hopes to repay Lu Menglin on the copyright price and repay this kid for his righteousness. Even if the project really can't be done in the future, at least it will make more money for Lu Menglin.

"I have an idea that might be able to solve your current controversy. Lu Menglin had a flash of inspiration in his mind and blurted out.

Hearing this, a hint of surprise flashed in Ji Hu's eyes, but a disdainful sneer appeared on Ah V's face.

Only the Japanese businessman, Tadao Hojo, still maintained his signature kind smile.

Lu Menglin sorted out his thoughts and said seriously: "I'm not going to sell the comic rights of "Antimatter War" to you. ”

As soon as he heard this, Uncle Ji Hu's face immediately turned red.

"This novel is too short, and I've recently been working on a super long story that we can do in a serialized format. Lu Menglin smiled.

"Long?"

"Super long?" Ah V and Tadao Hojo narrowed their eyes at the same time, staring intently at Lu Menglin.

You must know that a good author is more rare than a good article, and a long serial is a test of an author's strength.

This young man, who is only in his second year of high school this year, actually said that he wanted to write a long story, which is really unconvincing.

"Xiao Lu, tell me, what are you going to do?" Uncle Ji Hu said casually.

Hearing Lu Menglin say that he wanted to write a big novel, Uncle Ji Hu's first reaction was that it was over, this kid probably thought that the money here was easy to earn, and he actually wanted to write a big novel, didn't this make it clear that he wanted to make a lot of money!

Lu Menglin smiled slightly and said: "I plan to buy shares at the price of copyright, you don't need to have any investment in copyright fees now, in order to reduce costs, and this novel can be made in the form of magazine serialization instead of a single book." ”

"Which magazine is it serialized?" asked Ah V, who had a sharp mind, and rushed to follow.

Lu Menglin laughed and said: "Why should it be serialized in other people's magazines, we can start a new magazine together! With the experience and market influence of the two of them, is this difficult?"
