"I need a news story, a news story about Pacific Comics and the plagiarism scandal......" Meng Qi looked calmly at Will Benjamin and Bob Turner.

"Mr. Frank, are you trying to clear up the rumors about your plagiarism through a news report?" Will's face was oily, "With all due respect, you don't have any definite evidence that all this is the work of the Pacific Company, although the industry has heard such rumors, but, without evidence, everything is in vain......"

"No, you're mistaken...... I don't need to prove that I'm white, I just need to prove to the public that the Pacific Company is black!" Meng Qi's right hand clenched into a fist and smashed down forcefully.

"That's a good strategy, but then again, you still haven't cleared your name...... Bob Turner interjected.

"There is an old saying in China: Lu Yao knows horsepower, and he sees people's hearts for a long time. All justice is in the hearts of the people, and when the two gentlemen see my new comics today, they must never think that Frank Miller is a plagiarist again, right?" Meng Qi had a confident smile on his face, as if everything was in his hands.

Will and Bob looked at each other.

Obviously, in their view, in this era of incomparably complex and tragic entanglements of interests, "time" can no longer prove everything, and "time" is not a cure for everything.

Leaving everything to time is really a very passive and passive approach.

However, looking at Meng Qi's confident smile, the two couldn't help but have other thoughts in their hearts: Maybe the young man opposite has another way, right?

"Maybe, try it......" Will Benjamin muttered for a moment before speaking first.

"Mr. Turner, what do you think?" Meng Qi looked at Will with an inquiring gaze.

Will Turner knew very well that if he answered "no" at this point, it meant that he was out of the game and might have to leave the room in ten seconds.

"Of course, why not try, it doesn't cost us anything. ”

"Huh......" Will snorted softly.

"Two gentlemen, here's my plan......" Meng Qi simply told Will and Bob what he wanted to report, but he didn't say anything for purpose.

After listening to Meng Qi's plan, something faintly flashed in his heart, but he didn't catch it.

Will, the fat man, was confused, and said, "I really don't know how this will help you, Mr. Frank, and you can actually do a little more ruthlessly......"

Meng Qi was noncommittal, but said extremely shocking things to them.

"Sir, since both of you have heard about my plan, and I have to keep it a secret, I will offer you a new animated series for the losing side. ”

The losing side that Meng Qi is talking about is, of course, referring to the TV stations that did not obtain the rights to "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles" and the new manga animation.

However, Will and Bob are clearly not going to pay attention to these details.

Their minds are now full of question marks and exclamation points.

What?!And new animated episodes?!

"Mr. Frank, can you tell us what kind of story the new anime is, and is there a character for that?" asked Bob a key question, and after reading the new comics, he was looking forward to all of Frank Miller's work.

"I'm sorry, gentlemen, but I don't know what kind of story this is at the moment......" Meng Qi said, spreading his hands.

"What do you mean by that?" Bob frowned, thinking that Meng Qi was making fun of them.

"I mean, what you need, I paint. Meng Qi didn't care, paused, and then said word by word, "Create ...... on the spot, immediately"

"You mean, you're creating a new animation on the spot?" Bob unconsciously raised his voice.

"At least you can come up with the outline of the story and the characters of the main characters, and if the inspiration comes, maybe you can complete some story......boards," Meng Qi replied casually.

In fact, Meng Qi not only planned to win over the TV station and stand on the same front with him, but also wanted to show his hand in front of them, so that they were convinced of their ability and talent.

"So, gentlemen, what kind of animation do you want?"

Meng Qi had already taken out a pen and paper.

"Oriental. Will, who had not spoken for a long time, suddenly spoke.

"Adventure. Not to be outdone, Bob spit out the second word, since Meng Qi said so, what else was he worried about, he wanted to see what tricks could be played by the unashamed live creation.

"Myth. ”

"Action. ”

The two of them said the animation elements they wanted in one word.

At this time, Meng Qi's pen was already moving quickly on the paper, and characters with oriental style jumped on the paper.

"Oh my God, what a trick this is! it's so fast!" Bob exclaimed under his breath, "doesn't he even have to make a draft?!"

"This is a human design. ”

While Will and Bob were still in shock, Monge had already finished drawing more than a dozen characters.

"This is Aang, our hero. Meng Qi pointed to the first figure, which was a small child, bald, with a downward blue arrow drawn on his scalp, "He is the ...... of the incarnation."

"Incarnate superpowers?!" Will and Bob had already raised their interest.

"That's right, this is also the name of our new animation...... Meng Qi said eloquently, "In the world of the incarnation, the four divine powers of air, fire, water, and earth dominate this world, and at the same time, there are four different races living in the world, which are called water, earth, fire, and air, and the four divine powers correspond to ...... one by one."

"Each race has some people with strong talents, who can sense and control the divine power of their own nation through learning, and then use them to fight, these people are called clan ......"

"And those who can use these four divine powers at the same time are called incarnation supernatural powers......"

"Our main character, Aang, is an incarnation who looks like he is 12 years old, but his actual age is 112 years old, because he was frozen for 100 years, until he was accidentally discovered and thawed, and our adventure officially began......"

Unconsciously, Meng Qi had already spoken for almost half an hour, and he had almost explained all the stories of the first season of the animation of "Avatar: The Last Airbender".

Will and Bob, on the other hand, were half shocked and half stunned.

Meng Qi's story is too complete, in this world, there are really people who can complete the basic creation of an animation in such a short time?

No, no, no, it's disrespectful to say that it's basic creation, but in fact, if you have a storyboard now, you can just start making animation.

Most importantly, this is an anime that has a great breakthrough in setting and has great potential to become a classic.

As professionals, Will and Bob can naturally see the value of "Avatar".

"It's the story of the first season, and I named it "The Chapter of Water", and if it is storyboarded, it can be taken out in about a week. ”

A week is actually a deliberate extension of time for Meng Qi, and if he wants to devote himself to it, he may be able to finish the storyboard in two or three days.

Oh my God, is this still human?

Will and Bob were already in shock.

"Mr. Frank's plagiarism?ha, this is really the biggest joke of the century!" Will rubbed his chubby face, and expressed his appreciation and recognition of Meng Qi's talent in his own way.

"That's right, I bet you'll never find a more talented cartoonist than Mr. Frank this week!" Bob agreed with a wry smile.

"It's over, gentlemen, it's you who have inspired me......," Meng Qi smiled, his tone very modest, "Also, I think you can discuss how to distribute these comics ......"

Will and Bob nodded, stood up at the same time, stepped aside, whispered first, and then seemed to lower their voices again arguing something.

After a while, the two walked over, and Bob Turner said, "We Huala Brothers want Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles and the new comics, and we will give Avatar to the NBO!"

Although Will Benjamin was a little reluctant, he still nodded and agreed when he thought of the classic setting and wonderful plot of "Avatar", as well as Bob's promise just now.

Meng Qi didn't want to know what agreement they made in private, but he understood very well that he would not suffer any loss in the end by winning the NBO of "Avatar Powers". This is an Emmy-nominated animated series after all, how bad can it be?

After reaching a verbal agreement, Meng Qi was worried that the night would be long and dreamy, so he quickly arranged for someone to draft the agreement and sign it after both parties confirmed that it was correct.

As for the copyright fee of "Avatar", considering that Meng Qi needs to do all kinds of work such as making character design, writing scripts, and drawing storyboards, the NBO finally proposed an episode of $500,000, which is a reasonable and considerable price, and Meng Qi of course readily agreed.

At this point, Meng Qi's layout was finally completed, and at this point, his cobwebs had been laid out, just waiting for the worm to crawl over on its own.
