"Oh......" Smith let out a long sigh as he cupped his forehead, "Dear Meng, is it really your enemy who is doing these things?!" ”

"It doesn't have to be an enemy. You have to know that human beings are profit-driven animals, and it is not surprising that they do anything in order to obtain more benefits and maximize profits. ”

"What do you want to say?"

"Did you find the biggest problem in this article?"

Meng Qi tapped his finger at Cartoonist magazine.

"Questions? Ha, it seems to me that this article is bullshit, nonsense, there is a problem with every word. ”

"Calm down, Mr. Smith." Meng Qi smiled slightly, grabbed the pen on the table, and circled the words "Mr. Yellow Skin from Huaxia".

"That's what I'm talking about."

"Yellow-skinned? What's wrong with that? Smith was still puzzled.

"Before Elk Books published and released Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, I had contact with a total of thirteen comic companies and publishers, and eight of them were turned away by the front desk without even seeing the editor-in-chief.

Hearing Meng Qi say this, Smith finally understood.

"You mean, the remaining five companies are behind this incident?"

"That's right. The only people who know that I am the author of "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles" are these five companies, as well as you and Su Nan. I believe in Su Nan, you will not do anything that harms your own interests, so it can only be these companies. ”

Meng Qi said as he wrote down a few names on a piece of paper.

Pacific Comics, Phantom Studios, Paradise Press, Black Knight Comics, Bell Comics.

After writing it, Meng Qi drew a large triangle next to Pacific Comics.

"Also, I had a little conflict with Aaron Crowder, the executive editor of Pacific Comics......"

Meng Qi briefly described what happened that day at Pacific Comics.

Smith angrily grabbed his hair and said, "It's disgusting, I bet it's going to be the Pacific Comics guy this time, you damn bastards!" ”

"No, it's not entirely certain right now, and while Pacific Comics is the most suspicious, we still need to figure out a few more things."

With that, Meng Qi walked to the computer, opened the browser, entered the official websites of the above five companies, and browsed carefully.

"What the hell are you looking at?" Smith walked up behind Meng Qi and asked.

"Publication Plan." Meng Qi clicked on the pages of several official websites in turn, and said, "You see, in the past two months, only Pacific Comics has new comics to be released, and it will be two weeks later. ”

"Kung Fu Detective", is the name of this comic.

According to the introduction and preview of the official website, Meng Qi probably knew the creative intention of this comic. Pacific Comics tries to integrate elements such as suspense, detectives and law enforcers walking in the dark, and add a little fresh oriental element - kung fu to break through the current dilemma faced by American comics.

I have to say that although this kind of innovation is not bold enough, it can be regarded as a small breakthrough compared with the traditional American comics on the market.

Because of this, Pacific Comics probably invested a lot of resources and money in "Kung Fu Detective", and also had great ambitions and expectations.

It's just that what they didn't expect was that "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles", which was currently rejected by them, came out with a more subversive setting and a story that had never been seen before, and achieved shocking results in the industry.

At this time, "Kung Fu Detective" will be released, even if it will not be doomed, but there is a great possibility that it will be far from the original expectation.

How can this make them not regret it?

How can this make them swallow this breath?

Do you just give up "Kung Fu Detective"?

Of course not.

Therefore, under the passive situation of their own interests being eroded, they must do something to reverse the situation as much as possible and strive to maximize their interests.

Smearing "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles" and then using the opportunity to vigorously promote "Kung Fu Detective" is certainly a good strategy.

But in Meng Qi's opinion, these are all small tricks that do not enter the stream, which is as ridiculous as scumbags slandering and cheating on school bullies.

"Whew...... Now it's certain that it's really Pacific Comics. Meng Qi didn't panic at all, but instead had a smile on his face.

"I'm going to notify the relevant media right now and hold a small press conference to clarify the matter!" Smith picked up his computer and was about to call the outreach department.

"Wait!" Meng Qi pressed Smith's hand, "We don't have any direct evidence in our hands to prove that they are the masterminds behind the scenes, besides, didn't you go to the press conference to give them a chance to promote their comics?" ”

"So what should I do? Just watching these bastards attack us maliciously?! Smith was furious with nowhere to vent, and he was a little angry.

"Of course, we have to fight back, and we have to fight back fiercely, not only to make Pacific Comics unable to raise their heads, but also to let other people know that we are not so easy to mess with, we must kill chickens and monkeys once and for all, and make them dare not do the same thing to us again!"

Although Meng Qi has been calmly analyzing the whole incident, this does not mean that he is not angry or angry in his heart, and Meng Qi is a character of "people don't offend me, I don't offend people, if people offend me, cut the grass and eradicate the roots", he is good at protecting himself, and he is also good at treating all people with bad intentions mercilessly.

So, when Meng Qi said that, he had already decided to give Pacific Comics a little color, no, to be exact, to give them and all the people involved in this thing a lot of color.

Smith also heard the hint of cruelty in Meng Qi's words, which made him inexplicably calm down.

"Meng, do you have any way?"

"Borrow." After Meng Qi spit out this word, he did not rush to continue answering, but pondered for a moment, and after carefully going through the actions he was about to take in his mind a few times, he slowly spoke: "I need you to do the following things. ”

"First, find out the relationship between "Cartoon Man" and Pacific Comics as soon as possible."

"Second, find a media ...... that has a long-term relationship with your company and has a good relationship."

"Third, contact the RDIT forum ......"

"Fourth, contact FOX, NBO, Huala Bros. and other TV stations...... I'd like to talk to them about the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles anime adaptation......"

Regarding the plan, Meng Qi did not say in detail, just a general idea, because the joints involved multiple interests, and some of them must be handled by himself.

"You're done...... Then, just wait and see the show! ”
