When Meng Qi and Sunan returned to San Antonio, it was already the evening of the second day.
Due to the fatigue of the journey, Su Nan went to rest early, and Meng Qi had other things to deal with.
After all, today is the day when the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles finale goes on sale.
"Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles" has irreplaceable significance for Meng Qi's career as a cartoonist, and it is this comic that brought Meng Qi to the road of cartoonist, so he has a lot to say, but he doesn't know where to start.
He remembered the hardships he had to endure under the scorching sun, the bitterness of being repeatedly rejected from manuscripts, the girl who played the guitar in the subway station, Joe Smith saying "I am the last hippie of the American Federation", and the craze that comics set off after they were released.
At the same time, he also remembered the rumors and conspiracies against him, and remembered how he was planning to push Pacific Comics into the abyss step by step.
In short, at this moment, Meng Qi was sitting in the living room, and all the memories related to "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles" were surging and rushing in his mind, making him think a lot.
"It's finally over!"
After a long time, Meng Qi finally let out a long breath and sighed softly.
Then, he got up and walked to the workbench, pulled out a few pieces of paper, and drew four different colored blindfolds and four weapons in turn, then colored, scanned, and uploaded to the computer.
Finally, Meng Qi sent out a simple tweet with these four pictures that had just been drawn.
"Thank you!"
A thousand words, and finally a thank you.
Of course, Meng Qi must be grateful to his own readers.
After Meng Qi's tweet was sent, some netizens soon kept leaving messages below.
"Mr. Miller's debut novel is finally over!
"Congratulations Mr. Miller! I hope the anime is as classic as the manga!"
"The pictures are cool, I've bookmarked!" Someone also commented on the four pictures.
"It's worthy of being the creator of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.,I captured the essence of the Teenage Mutant Turtles at once.,Ask for a big picture.,I'm going to use it as a computer wallpaper!"
Meng Qi chose a few interesting comments to reply, and then sent another tweet with a small advertisement for the Wara Brothers and the NBO.
"The end doesn't mean the end, next Tuesday, lock in the Huala Bros. Anime Channel, the animated version of "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles" will be with everyone!
Since it is an advertisement, Meng Qi will definitely not be stupid enough to only publicize one family and do things that offend people.
And, more importantly, Kevin McHale and Byron Scott also have a bet on viewership.
That night, when Kevin McHale made the offer, Byron Scott gave it a little thought and agreed.
In the United States, the ratings of major television networks are counted separately, which means that it is possible that the ratings of the two television stations are the same, but there is a big difference in the actual number of viewers.
Considering that the two TV giants, NBO and Huala Bros., are of equal strength, especially the anime channel, the level of strength is comparable, and the competition is more intense, it is still fair to compare it with the absolute number of viewers.
However, Meng Qi doesn't care who wins or loses, after all, these two are big rich people, no matter what, the interests of their side will not be damaged, and even, healthy competition may greatly increase their profits.

January 22, 2008, 8 p.m. The "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles" anime was officially launched after a lot of publicity.
"Meng Xiaowolf, hurry up, your animation is about to start......" Su Nan sat cross-legged on the sofa and said to Meng Qi, who was immersed in painting.
Since the night of the reception, Su Nan used "wolf" to describe Meng Qi, and her title to Meng Qi suddenly became a little affectionate "Meng Little Wolf".
And Meng Qi also took it for granted that Su Nan's title became "Su Xiaoyang".
"Come, come......" Meng Qi drew the last stroke, then sorted out the sketch, walked to Su Nan and sat down.
On TV, the animation of the first episode of the first season of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles has just begun.
"My name is Leonardo da Vinci and my brothers and I are in trouble...... Behind us is a wall full of garbage, and to the east is the most powerful gang in the east of New York, driving us to a corner......"
With the voice of Leonardo da Vinci, wearing a blue blindfold and holding a double knife, the TV shows the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles confronting each other.
"Look at those monsters, what the hell is it like to wear that ridiculous outfit...... It's not Halloween!" said a kid with an exploding head.
"Little monsters, you're going to be finished...... "The leader of the little gangsters pulled out a long stick and waved it, "no one dares to go against the Purple Dragon Gang, especially these fools in turtle clothes!"
Leonardo da Vinci's eyes were sharp: "They were wrong, we didn't have any clothes at all......"
Then, the four turtles leaped high and slaughtered into the middle of the gangsters.
Immediately afterwards, the opening song sounded, and the strong rhythm of rock made people feel excited.
"Hello Mr. Miller, I'm a reporter for the Wara Brothers, what do you think of the animation adaptation of your debut novel?"
Taking advantage of the opening song, Su Nan used the TV remote control board as a microphone to Meng Qi, pretending to be a reporter, and interviewed Meng Qi with a smile.
"Not bad. ā
Overall, although he only watched it for a short minute, Meng Qi was still quite satisfied with the animation effect.
Whether it's the voice actors, storyboards, colors, or fight action, they all reflect the super level of animation production of the Wara Bros., and, more importantly, the animated version still respects the plot of the comics very much and does not make much adjustments.
"Then I see why aren't you excited at all? Your comic has been adapted into an anime, and now hundreds of people across the United States are watching it!" Su Nan changed his posture, knelt on the sofa, and continued to ask.
Meng Qi turned his head at an extremely slow speed, slowly looked at Su Nan, and then twisted his head back at an extremely slow speed, then suddenly stood up, raised his hands into fists, and shouted: "My comics have been adapted into animation, I'm so excited!"
After speaking, Meng Qi looked at Su Nan with a smile in his eyes and asked, "How is this reaction?"
Su Nan knew that Meng Qi was teasing her, but when she saw his funny appearance, she couldn't help but lie on the sofa and laugh.
An episode of the cartoon is only twenty minutes, but the plot is not dragged at all, the classic villains in "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles", such as robot dogs such as the ninjas of the Bigfoot Gang, have appeared, and at the end of the film, there is also a suspense, and the leader of the Purple Dragon Gang leads to a stronger villain, which makes people want to see the next episode as soon as possible.
"It's beautiful...... I don't think the number of viewers should be low, maybe the Wara Brothers will win this time......" When the end credits appeared, Su Nan commented.
"Not necessarily, although Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles has a huge fan base, don't forget, Avatar is also promoted under the words 'Frank Miller'...... I think that compared to "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles", which already knows the plot, you will be more inclined to Frank Miller's new work......"
"Then do you think "Avatar Magic" will win?" said Su Nan tilting his head.
"I can't guarantee it, but no matter who wins, I don't have anything to lose, right, Su Xiaoyang?"
"Meng Xiaowolf, don't call me Su Xiaoyang!"
