readx;? The last day of 2007 was sunny and sunny. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

The end of the year means the end of a phase, the beginning of a new one.

For Meng Qi, this is even more so. On this day, he took care of a few important things that made the whole of 2007 seem even more perfect.

The first thing was that he finally finalized the strategy for the first quarter of 2008 for AC Comics.

Prior to this, he had only one general idea about the development of AC Comics, and only the four origin comics of The Flash, Green Lantern, Martian Manhunter and Aquaman fell on paper, and the new "Superman" has been delayed due to the lack of a clear screenwriter and cartoonist.

But just yesterday, when Monch was still worried about it, Ned Barty surprised him.

This current student at the University of Washington spent a week completing the script for the first three episodes of the new "Superman".

This script is perfect, and it is not much different from the script in Meng Qi's mind, which is enough to show Ned Barty's strong grasp of the story plot and his talent in superhero comic script writing, and it also proves how correct Meng Qi's decision to hire Ned at that time was without hesitation.

After getting the script, Meng Qi immediately decided that Ned Barty would be the screenwriter of the new Superman comics, and as for cartoonists, he had oscillated between Nick Young and David Lane.

But he ended up choosing David Lane, who had a more stable style, and it was undeniable that Nick Young's talent for painting was even better, but because of his personality, his paintings were excellent and bad, and he was not suitable to be the main painter until he fixed his style.

As a result, the main creators of the new comic book became three people, the story: Frank Miller, the screenwriter: Ned Barty, and the painting: David Lane.

The new Superman manga is named Superman: A Legend and will release its inaugural issue in mid-January.

As the name suggests, this new comic will be an epic long-form adventure, and Meng Qi also intends to develop this comic into the main story of Superman.

In addition to Ned Barty, other new recruits also gave Meng Qi a lot of surprises.

In these days, he has created at least thirty superheroes, although many of them can't get rid of the shadow of heroes created by Meng Qi, such as Superman and Flash, but there are also many settings that are not lacking in highlights.

In order to showcase these new superheroes, Meng Qi decided to create a monthly magazine called "Shop Window", each of which contains short stories of 3-5 new superheroes, so that it can be used as a test bed for new works, and can also decide whether new heroes will stay or stay according to readers' evaluations and reactions.

At the same time, Meng Qi is also planning to publish some heroes from parallel worlds through such a magazine, so as to improve the worldview of the comics.

All in all, by determining the development strategy for the first quarter of 2008, Meng Qi basically laid the foundation for the superhero system.

The second thing is that AC Comics has a long-term relationship with the Redit forum.

In other words, in the next ten years, not only Meng Qi's comics, but also all the electronic copyrights of all comics of AC Comics will be exclusively owned by this forum.

However, Redit Forum also paid a price for this exclusivity, at least in the case of Frank Miller's comics.

Meng Qi did not participate in the specific negotiations, and the whole process was led by Su Nan. Under the contract, Frank Miller's four new comics, Redit Forum paid a buyout price of $3 million each.

Although this price is a bit premium, it is not an exaggeration, in fact, the Redit forum has at least $6 million in revenue on the electronic version of Superman, otherwise they would not have signed this premium contract.

As for the manga after Frank Miller and the manga of other cartoonists, the price is determined according to the actual situation.

It can be said that Su Nan almost got back countless checks that did not fill in the amount, and how to fill in this amount and how much to fill in the initiative, it is also in his own hands.

Being able to get the Redit forum to sign this kind of contract is probably the result of Sunan's many games and many battles of wit, right?

This also made Meng Qi personally feel Sunan's super ability in business.

The third thing, after almost two months of the animated version of "Superman", the dust has finally settled.

Bob Turner saw the synopsis of the story written by Meng Qi and the script of Ned Barty for the first time, which completely dispelled the last trace of doubt in his heart, and he signed a formal contract with Meng Qi very happily.

The licensing contract for the anime adaptation is divided into two parts, the first part is the "Superman" origin comic written by Frank Miller, and the Wara Bros. paid $1 million for the animation adaptation rights of this comic, of course, which is the friendship price given by Meng Qi, and the second part is "Superman: The Legend of the Story", which is worth $8 million for the copyright fee.

Considering Superman's influence, this price is actually not too high, but 35% of this money will be divided between Ned Barty and David Lane.

These two rookies probably don't know now that when their comics are released and the "Superman" anime is launched, they will become millionaires in an instant.

The last thing is a bit of a hassle compared to the previous three, but overall, it's not a bad thing.

Du Ziming brought the latest news about Letoy toys, but at the same time, he also brought his father, Du Jun.

Du Jun was a soldier in his early years, he was a strong red-faced man, his height was about the same as Meng Qi, and he walked with a tigerish style and a rough atmosphere.

Meng Qi originally made an appointment to meet them in the studio, thinking that it was just Du Ziming who came alone, so when he saw Du Jun, he was also stunned, but he quickly reacted, after all, Du Jun is the big boss who plays with toys.

"Hello, hello......" Du Jun stretched out his hand from afar.

Meng Qi shook hands with him, and soon in his eyebrows, he judged that he was probably Du Ziming's father, because the two of them looked too similar except for the red and white faces.

"Hello Uncle Du......" Meng Qi was very polite.

Du Jun swaggered on the sofa, looked around without hesitation, and said, "You can still make a place......

The standard Shu dialect made Meng Qi feel very familiar, and it was even more cordial when it came out of the mouth of such a rough and unpretentious man.

Du Ziming also sat down, his face paler than usual, and with deep tiredness.

Meng Qi probably also knew that he had been running back and forth between Huaxia and the United States during this time, and the constantly changing jet lag would definitely make his body extremely tired.

Meng Qi smiled, went to make tea, brought it over, and then sat opposite Du Jun.

"Xiao Meng...... Is it okay for me to call you Xiao Meng at my age?" Du Jun looked at Meng Qi and said, "Set up an honest dragon gate formation for you, I think you are a little unkind......

"Dad......" Du Ziming was anxious on the side.

"Why did Uncle Du say that......

Meng Qi remained silent, he knew that since Du Jun had come, most of the matter of investing in Letoi's toys had been decided, but it was Du Jun who came, and it was unknown whether there were any variables in it.

"Bet on this kind of thing, how can you bet on this baby in my house?" Du Jun said loudly, "I'm the one in charge, if you want to bet, bet with me ......"

What Du Jun said seemed to be said by a rough man, but it forced Meng Qi into a dilemma.
