Meng Fan returned home, sent Wu Tong a WeChat message to "report safety", and began to paint.

"Strange People in the Mountains and Seas" is currently four words, Meng Fan has to prepare some manuscripts, after the official serialization, even if it is the first issue or even the second issue of the comic magazine after the comic begins to be serialized, the serial position will be given more, two words are the minimum, and it is possible that the first three words will be three.

In addition, Meng Fan also wants to let himself enter the creative state as soon as possible, the beginning is a long time ago, and the character design, scenes, plot, etc. have been polished back and forth many times, and the test for Meng Fan is after the beginning.

"Huh?"

Meng Fan suddenly remembered something, glanced at the achievement task of [News Person], and found that the experience of international well-known media reporting required by the sub-task had increased by 4, which should be related to the brawl at the Kyoto Dome, which was an unexpected gain.

The next day was Saturday and the weather was fine and sunny.

Meng Fan got up and came back from a morning run to continue drawing comics, and when it was about 9 o'clock, the doorbell rang, and then he heard the sound of the door opening.

Ringing the doorbell was Wu Tong's order to remind Meng Fan that someone had come in, and then unlocked it with his fingerprint, carrying the vegetables he bought.

After a few times of cooking, the things that should be prepared in the kitchen are ready, and I made another meal yesterday, and there are some leftover ingredients, so today Wu Tong is not like two big bags like before, a bit like passing by the vegetable market and buying some casually.

"Have you eaten breakfast?"

Wu Tong carried the bag to the kitchen.

Meng Fan leaned against the door of the study, poked his head out, and smirked: "Eat." ”

"Go ahead and do what you want. ”

Wu Tong put his things away, went out of the kitchen, went into the bathroom and threw the clothes in the dirty basket into the washing machine, turned his head and glared at Meng Fan: "Go to work." ”

"Oh. ”

Meng Fan continued to giggle and returned to the study.

At this time, Wu Tong blushed and picked out his underwear from a pile of clothes, washed it off and dried it.

Prepare the ingredients and take out the laundry from the washing machine to dry.

The room is very clean, and every once in a while an aunt comes to clean it, so naturally there is no need for Wu Tong.

Then boiled the rice and stewed the soup, made a pot of tea, poured a cup and brought it to Meng Fan, as for the ice that Meng Fan hid when he saw Wu Tong coming in, Wu Tong just didn't see it.

Out of the study, I took the tea set to the balcony.

The balcony was large with a small coffee table and two stools.

I put the tea set away, went back to the house and took out the flowers and bottles I bought, and arranged flowers on the balcony while drinking tea, which was very pleasant.

At 10:45, several vases were arranged, the vases were arranged, and the kitchen began to cook, the dishes were ready, the soup was stewed, and the time was just right.

"Eat. ”

"Good. ”

After eating a meal, Meng Fan touched his stomach and smirked: "You are like this, I will easily get fat back." ”

Wu Tong glanced at Meng Fan: "Do you think I will do it for you every day." ”

Meng Fan continued to giggle, and then began to help clean up the table, as if it was an exercise after dinner.

After cleaning up, the two sat on the balcony and drank tea and basked in the sun.

It's easy to fall asleep in the sun on such an afternoon.

Meng Fan pretended to squint his eyes and waited for Wu Tong to fall asleep...... Zizi came to the phone, squinted his eyes and touched the phone, and when he came over, he looked at the caller ID, and his eyes popped open.

Wu Ji called.

Seventh brother, you can't have something in the dark, right?

"I'm going to Hangzhou in the evening, do you have time to meet? ”

"In the evening, I'll be free, but it might be late. ”

"Okay, I'm in Hangzhou at night anyway. ”

The call ended quickly, Meng Fan hung up the phone, and when he saw Wu Tong looking at him, although he didn't ask, he still said with a smile: "A sales call." ”

"Salesmanship, what are you meeting again?"

"This guy is more interesting, not to sell the house or reimbursement, but to sell his sister, so I have to go. ”

Of course, Wu Tong knew that it was Wu Ji, so he didn't bother to pay attention to Meng Fan, so he stood up and was a little hot in the sun.

"You said someone from Neon came to sign a contract today, what time is it?"

"It's tentatively three o'clock. ”

"Then you can sleep for a while or draw for a while, I'll go back and ask my roommate to go shopping. ”

Wu Tong didn't give Meng Fan another opportunity to take advantage of.

Meng Fan sighed, let's have a long future.

At around three o'clock, Meng Fan came to Damei Studio, and not long after, people from Penguin Animation Network and Kodansha also came.

Penguin Animation Network has one more person, and it seems that it should be a translator.

There were three people from Kodansha, Goro Takahashi is a senior editor who has a certain say in Kodansha, and he is fully responsible for the signing of the contract, as well as a person from the legal department and a translator.

Because the copyright is in the hands of Meng Fan, Meng Fan also stated that it is a regional partial authorization, with this premise, there is no conflict of interest between Penguin Animation Network and Kodansha, and the only entanglement is undoubtedly the ownership of animation copyright.

It's okay for other copyrights to be regional, but it's difficult to distinguish between regional copyrights, to put it bluntly, after the animation production is successful, it can be broadcast in Huaxia or in Neon and other parts of the world, and the benefits of regional broadcast can be distinguished, but there is no way to distinguish between production.

On animation production,Neon is more powerful in this area and has more experience, which is undeniable,Over the past few years,Although Huaxia animation production has kept up with a lot,If you burn the funds, you can indeed produce some high-quality products,It's just that animation production involves too much scope and too many details,Animation director、Character designer、Storyboard personnel、Main mirror animators、Grassroots animators、Music design、Color draft personnel、Editors、Packaging design and post-dubbing、 Sound synthesis, and so on, it's not something that can be configured overnight.

Maybe some of them, there are also top teams on the Huaxia side that can be comparable to the neon side, but the overall is still a lot behind.

To be honest, if you really want to fight with real knives and guns, there is not much chance on the Penguin Animation Network, but the focus is on Meng Fan. Meng Fan didn't want to watch the two of them fight, but wanted to promote cooperation between the two sides.

In terms of the quality of his works, Meng Fan is of course the first choice to hand over the operation of Kodansha, and as for whether Kodansha will be handed over to Toei Animation or other animations to produce at that time, that's another matter.

However, after people have the ability, especially after they can choose not to be constrained by interests, the sense of social responsibility is naturally born.

This is really not who is born with high consciousness, but who stands tall and sees far and thinks clearly.

Meng Fan's idea is very simple, on the premise of ensuring a certain quality, he wants to promote the two companies, whether it is cooperation or learning, at least, if Penguin Animation Network or other Chinese animation studios send a team to participate in the production, whether it is Toei Animation or other animation companies, then they can always learn something, at least, they can always add some experience.

What is to promote the development of Chinese animation, Meng Fan does not dare to say, but if you can add bricks and tiles, why hide your strength.

In the end, the animation copyright was temporarily left in Meng Fan's hands, and an additional supplementary contract was signed, which was probably the final animation production that must be completed by two companies, which was over.

In this regard, Penguin Animation Network readily agreed, Kodansha took into account the reason why the plate of the Chinese animation market is getting bigger and bigger, and in addition, the strength and resources of the parent company of Penguin Animation Network are much stronger than Kodansha, and they also agreed.

After this tangled point, the next tangled point is the update.

Because it is a cooperation agreement, "Strange People in the Mountains and Seas" will definitely not be able to be serialized on "Shonen Weekly M", at least not at present, unless it is really good or even good enough to increase the circulation of the weekly magazine.

In the end, it was determined that the serial position was "Magazine-special", which was a supplement to "Shonen Weekly M", and the circulation was of course not high, but there was really no other choice. The circulation is higher than it, either semi-monthly, monthly, or youth or girl.

"Strange People in the Mountains and Seas" is a juvenile manga, and Meng Fan is at least weekly, so there is only this choice.

The serialization time is synchronized, every Wednesday, which is also the release date of the "Magazine-special", and Kodansha is also a website and app, and the update time is later than the release of the manga.

How many updates a week has become the most tangled point, strictly speaking, the most tangled point of Kodansha.

Meng Fan proposed to change three times a week, and Penguin Animation Network hoped that the more the better, and Kodansha would definitely not be able to give so much.

The first and second phases can still be squeezed out, and there will definitely not be so much to be given later.
