Chapter 18: "Hulu Little King Kong" and "Go Boy"
The next day, a rainstorm came and went as fast as it came. It only cooled Xiangjiang for half a day, and the weather was hot again.
In the afternoon, after school, Wu Ming, who was scolded by Zhu Yin's little girl, came to Phoenix Publishing House.
In the president's office, Zhang Dexin was looking at some documents with a serious expression.
"Knock Knock"
Zhang Dexin heard the knock on the door and looked up, it turned out to be the little boss Wu Ming coming.
"Xiao Ming, you're here. ”
"Well, Uncle Zhang. I'm here to tell you something today. ”
Wu Ming walked in, picked up a glass of water from the desk, took a sip of water, and said seriously: "My father and I have thought about it carefully, and decided to give Uncle Zhang five percent of the dry shares of your Phoenix Publishing House. ”
"What?"
Zhang Dexin stood up excitedly. He has been following the Wu family for more than a year, and he clearly knows what his ability is, although his ability is not bad, he can only keep it. The ability is much stronger than him, but luckily, when the Dole Toy Company was first established, he joined in and became a veteran.
He understood that he couldn't scold Fang Xuan like Huo Jianning, so when Wu Bingan told him about the comic publishing house, he was moved and wanted to go back to his old job. Unexpectedly, the boss's son Wu Ming was a genius, and the first comic "Hulu Brothers" became popular throughout Xiangjiang.
The Phoenix Society's development to the present level is all due to Wu Ming's comics, but I didn't expect that now I can actually get dry shares. You must know that even if there are only 5% of dry shares, at this rate of development, dividends are not a small amount.
Wu Ming saw Zhang Dexin's excited appearance and knew that he was moved.
"Uncle Zhang, you have been following my family for so long, and you have both merit and hard work. What's more, in the future, I will only be responsible for the development strategy of the Order of the Phoenix in the general direction and draw comics to stabilize the position of the Order of the Phoenix. The Order of the Phoenix also relies on you to preside over daily affairs and give you shares to be worthy of Uncle Zhang's hard work. Uncle Zhang, you don't have to refuse. ”
Then Zhang Dexin thanked him for a thousand thanks, saying that he would definitely work hard in the future and repay the Wu family.
"Uncle Zhang, you go and gather all the company's senior executives to the conference room, and I'm going to have a meeting later. ”
After Wu Ming finished speaking, he walked out of the president's office and went to the conference room.
Zhang Dexin heard Wu Ming's order, and immediately went to gather various high-level personnel.
A quarter of an hour passed, and all the high-level personnel came to the conference room one after another.
Wu Ming glanced at it, called everyone to come, and announced the start of the meeting.
"The first thing I said at today's meeting was the serialization of "Hulu Brothers". "Hulu Brothers" is a short comic, with only thirteen chapters in total, and I finished drawing them all. Later, the first issue of "Hulu Brothers" was adjusted to 3 episodes, and it was serialized in just three weeks. ”
As soon as Wu Ming said this, the pot suddenly exploded below, and they all dissuaded Wu Ming from finishing the serialization so quickly.
"Boss, "Hulu Brothers" is on fire, why is it serialized so quickly, at least there must be a hundred words!"
"yes, yes. ”
"Xiangjiang doesn't have such a short comic yet, so why don't you write as long as possible. ”
"How much do you lose in that case?"
If these people weren't still sensible, remembering that Wu Ming was their boss, they would probably have to ask Wu Ming if he was crazy, and if he didn't take advantage of the popularity of "Hulu Brothers" to make more money, it would be over at once, wouldn't he be a fool.
How do they know the childhood memory complex in Wu Ming's heart, and they are not willing to destroy the good memories of "Hulu Brothers" in his heart. So no matter how much they persuaded him, it was useless, Wu Ming still insisted on his decision.
Wu Ming saw that he slowly calmed down below, and then continued.
"In addition, I want to draw a "Hulu Little King Kong", which is a sequel to "Hulu Brothers". ”
Yes, Wu Ming wants to paint "Gourd Little King Kong" to take over "Gourd Brothers".
However, this time, Wu Ming no longer copied the plot of his previous life, and is ready to make some changes to make the whole comic more exciting.
After all, there were many failures in the previous life of "Hulu Little King Kong", which added a very fatal weakness to the gourd baby who had no weaknesses in skills in the front - the ass of the third baby, the absorption of the fifth baby, and the fragility of the gourd of the seventh baby, which are all very deadly, with weaknesses and grasp these weaknesses, not to mention that the monsters are even more powerful ordinary people can take them down.
And the most helpless thing is that in the story of the first part of "Hulu Brothers", it can be seen that the weaknesses here can be overturned with actual evidence: the third baby's ass is also iron and not afraid of attack, the fifth baby can spit water as soon as he is born, and the seventh baby's gourd is so strong that it can blow the mountain, which is a loophole.
In addition, the weakness of the little King Kong after the combination is also very big, losing the necklace is the same as losing the gourd of the seventh baby, and it is really a three-year-old child, in fact, there is no need to add these weaknesses to the gourd brothers.
Perhaps the creators at that time wanted to bring some private goods in "Hulu Little King Kong", hiding a bunch of metaphors about the disadvantages of needles.
For example, the big baby symbolizes the ability of the person, even if the personal ability is strong, sometimes it is difficult to resist the temptation of money, and finally falls into the eye of money.
The second baby symbolizes a person who distinguishes between right and wrong, and then is blinded by crooked tendencies.
Sanwa symbolizes the incorruptible person who stands in the world and is "inviolable", this kind of person is usually difficult to deal with, and as a result, he is wearing small shoes and struggling step by step.
The fourth baby is in front of the big pot of rice, and even if a person who does practical things is strong, he can only end up exhausted and feel that his body is hollowed out.
The five babies swallow mountains and rivers, but what if they have the ability, they are in a big dye vat, and they are inevitably poisoned by the environment.
Liuwa represents the "hermit" in society (workplace), staying out of secular disputes. Sometimes, however, it is a sin not to take sides! There are no mistakes, but mistakes can be made! Likewise it is impossible to get out of the way. Put on a small tail and buckle a big hat.
As for Qiwa, his magic weapon gourd was an invincible existence in the first animation, but in "Gourd Little King Kong", it collapsed completely because of the destruction of moths from the inside, this metaphor is really obvious, and it is clearly internal corruption.
Except for the two snake spirits, the other monsters are basically five scum, useless, and the only thing they are good at is whiskers and horses.
After all, anime is for people to see, the plot comes first, and some metaphors are okay, but you can't let the whole content have obvious flaws and ruin the development of the plot.
Like "Hulu Brothers" is handled well, there are no loopholes, so they are all praised. And "Hulu Little King Kong" is not handled well, so there are many failures and are often picked on.
As for the later creations of "King Kong Gourd Sister" and "Gourd Brothers and Sisters", they are even worse than before, and they cannot be compared with the first two at all. So Wu Ming is not going to paint these two, "Hulu Little King Kong" is the last part of the Hulu Baby series.
Hearing Wu Ming say that there was a sequel, all the high-level personnel were secretly relieved. If there is a sequel, you should have said it earlier, so that we are worried in vain.
It's a pity that before they can relax their hearts, their hearts are suddenly like a roller coaster, just enjoying the scenery in the sky from a high place, and immediately fall to the bottom of the abyss.
However, "Hulu Little King Kong" is also a short story, with only twelve words. There will be no sequel after the end. ”
Everyone was tortured by Wu Ming like this, and they all looked at Wu Ming with blank eyes. It seems to be saying don't play with us anymore, if you have any news, you make us all scared.
Wu Ming couldn't help but be happy when he saw everyone's expressions, and he stopped selling Guanzi.
"In addition to "Hulu Little King Kong", I am also going to draw a comic, which means that I want to open it double. The name of this comic is "Go Boy", and I am going to draw fifty or sixty chapters of this comic. ”
And this "Go Boy" comic, needless to say, is the same as "Hulu Brothers", Wu Ming plans to adapt CCTV's classic animation "Go Boy" into a comic in the future. And I only plan to draw the first part, and I don't plan to paint the second part of the dog's tail continuation mink. I believe that when the time comes, this comic will be as popular as "Hulu Brothers".
Hearing that Wu Ming was finally willing to draw a little longer, although it was only a novella of fifty or sixty words, everyone was still overjoyed. But as soon as I heard the name of the manga was "Go Boy", it was obviously about Go. I couldn't help but look bitter again, after all, there are no comics of this kind in Xiangjiang, and the prospects are unpredictable, who would go to see something boring like Go.
Editor-in-chief Hu Junguo couldn't help it, stood up, and expressed his opposition.
"Boss, you can just draw "Hulu Little King Kong", you don't have to draw "Go Boy", it's too rushed. Moreover, there is no market for Go comics in Xiangjiang, and Go is all played by the elderly, and not many people read it when they draw it. ”
Wu Ming replied confidently: "Don't worry, I can guarantee that the children will like to watch it." I am determined by myself, and you do not need to persuade me anymore. Okay, that's it for today's meeting, adjournment. ”
After speaking, Wu Ming left the conference room first.
When the others saw that the boss gave the death order and left directly, they also sighed, and then left the conference room to do their own business.
The news that "Hulu Brothers" will end in only three weeks, and then the sequel "Hulu Little King Kong" will take over, and Wu Ming will draw a Go comic book from the Phoenix Society in an instant.
The bosses, editors-in-chief, and cartoonists of major comic companies laughed disdainfully. Children just don't know the height of the sky, and they are lucky to have a "Hulu Brothers". I didn't draw for a long time, and I was going to draw some Go comics. When he saw that "Go Boy" couldn't be sold, how did he cry.
Major newspapers and magazines also reported on this the next day.
"The little genius Wu Ming is not able to do anything, thinking that he can paint anything. ”
"Will the little genius fall because of this in the future, this newspaper continues to track and report. ”
"The sub-department is a wolf in the mountains, and the ambition is rampant. Expose the various shortcomings and black materials of the little genius Wu Ming. ”
Even on Friday, "Hulu Brothers" was not affected, and it was still selling well, exceeding 150,000 sales. These people still haven't changed, and they still sing down "Go Boy" and criticize Wu Ming's arrogant behavior.
