――――――――――――――

"Whew...... Suspended, I request a pause...... Too tired, how many are these? Bob Turner watched the candidate walk out of the room, close the door, and finally let out a long exhale.

"Probably half there." Monch, who was sitting next to Bob Turner, responded with a smile.

"Oh, what a damn interview." Bob Turner let out a rare foul mouth, "Meng, why did I accept your invitation so naively?" ”

At present, the relationship between the Walla Bros. Animation Channel, especially Bob Turner himself, is getting closer and closer to Meng Qi, so the title of Meng Qi has also changed from "Mr. Miller" to a closer "Meng".

"Don't complain, my friend, look at the three of them, they're all in good spirits......"

"You are mistaken, Mr. Miller, I am too tired to speak. I swear I'll never do HR again. "I just want to hurry up and finish lunch and then take a good nap." ”

"That's right, I've decided to give our company's HR a salary increase...... It's really a chore. Joe Smith followed Mark Dujon's example and lay on the table.

Only Su Nan, who was sitting in the middle, although there was a trace of tiredness on his face, his mental state was obviously much better than that of the other three except Meng Qi.

"Oh...... Miss Su, don't you feel tired at all? Bob Turner said as he looked at Sunan.

"Today's interview wasn't fun at all, but it was very easy......

Su Nan showed a sweet smile of "You are weak", and especially accentuated the words "very relaxed", which was simply a spiritual attack on several other people.

"If you want to finish all the interviews before dinner, cheer up." Meng Qi followed behind Su Nan and tacitly repaired the knife.

Joe Smith let out a wail.

Today's interviewers are the above five people.

Meng Qi's invitation to them for the interview was also deliberate.

Needless to say, Bob Turner and Mark Dujon have been in this circle for many years and have a vicious eye, and AC Comics must be able to provide quality advice when it comes to picking the right people.

One of the main reasons for choosing Joe Smith is his sensitivity to comics. It was his acumen, which can be called a gift, that led him to take a fancy to and publish Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.

As for Su Nan, on the one hand, she is the CEO of AC Comics after all, and on the other hand, according to Joe Smith, Su Nan has served as a manager of some large enterprises and companies, and has rich experience in personnel recruitment.

Although Joe Smith was vague and reluctant to say how Sunan had come to these experiences, Meng Qi believed that he was right.

In fact, of the five people present, Su Nan was the only one who really had experience in personnel recruitment, and she was obviously much better at controlling the rhythm of the interview than the other four laymen, so although the final decision was in the hands of Meng Qi, she still naturally became today's chief interviewer and sat in the middle.

Although he said that, Sunan still let Bob Turner and them rest for a few minutes before nodding to the staff and saying:

"Next ......"

…………

…………

Ned Barty knocked on the door.

"Please come in." A nice female voice came from the room.

In an instant, his mood, which had gradually relaxed, became nervous again.

He gently pushed the door open and walked into the room, then turned to close the door, and glanced at the five interviewers in front of him quickly.

There are actually two Chinese, a man and a woman?

That fat man must be Mr. Mark Dujon, and the older one is Bob Turner, right?

Hey, who's that man on the very edge? AC Comic's top management?

Mr. Frank Miller probably wasn't in there, was he?

Ned Barty thought to himself as he walked over to the chair he had prepared and sat down.

"First of all, thank you for your support of AC Comics." Su Nan said succinctly, "Next, please introduce yourself." ”

"I ...... My name is Ned Barty, I'm from the University of Washington, and I'm applying for a comic book writer. ”

Ned Barty felt like he had a handful of sand in his throat, and it was dry.

"You're Ned Barty! I've read the novel you sent, and some of the ideas in it are very good. ”

Meng Qi heard the name of "Ned Barty", and without waiting for Su Nan to speak, he took the conversation.

However, in doing so, it confuses Ned. He had also participated in some interviews during his internship before, and those interviewers usually asked about the motivation for job hunting, job intentions, etc., but ...... What does this Chinese young man who is about the same age as himself mean when he comes up and says this?

Ned Barty was a little confused, and he vaguely noticed that this interview was different from the previous ones.

When the others saw Meng Qi speak, they all closed their mouths in unison, as if they didn't mean to ask questions.

Ned Barty stayed for a few seconds, and in order not to let the interview go cold, he had to bite the bullet and say, "That was one of my pen exercises last year......"

"Some of the ideas about parallel worlds in your novel are interesting...... Although it is not mature enough, there are still many shining points...... Meng Qi said with a smile, "So, what I want to ask is, what kind of situation would Superman be like if he appeared in a parallel world?" ”

"Uh......"

Ned Barty was speechless for a moment, he had no idea that the other party would ask a question based on his novel, and that it was a question with multiple possibilities for answers.

It takes a lot of deduction to answer this question well.

"Damn, how do I answer......" Ned Barty was silent for two minutes, unable to utter a word, and couldn't help but feel anxious.

"Don't be limited by yourself, Mr. Barty, think about what you need for a superhero comic......"

Ned Barty looked up and saw the Chinese man's encouraging eyes, took a deep breath, and tried to relax himself so that his mind could spin faster.

In today's science fiction novels and popular science theories, quantum mechanics is mentioned whenever parallel worlds are mentioned, but comics, as a more popular and entertaining product, do not seem to need such high-end things.

What do people want to see?

Of course, it is the superhero who represents justice to punish and eliminate evil and defeat evil.

As long as this core remains the same, the concept of superheroes is valid, right?

Ned Barty had a flash of inspiration in his mind and finally replied: "I think that no matter what kind of world Superman appears in, whether it is the age of dinosaurs, the Middle Ages, or the era of World War I or World War II, even if we change his nationality and skin color, he is the Superman who represents justice." ”

Meng Qi's eyes showed an approving look.

"So, I think the biggest key to introducing the concept of parallel worlds into comics is not what the story will turn out of, but that this parallel world brings a new background and new characters to the comics." Ned Barty continued, "That's right, as long as the core remains the same, a parallel world is a new setting! ”

In fact, Ned Barty's answer was pretty close to the correct answer.

American comics on Earth, DC and Marvel have all launched their own views of parallel universes, especially DC Comics, which have taken the concept of parallel universes to the extreme.

Take Superman as an example, in various parallel universes, Superman has a variety of different identities and stories, and in these parallel universes, Superman is sometimes no longer the embodiment of justice, but transforms into a supervillain named "Ultimate Man", or a German general during World War II, or the protector of the former Soviet Union, and even in the origin earth, Superman is the only superhero in the world, and Wonder Woman, Green Lantern, Batman and everything are all comic book characters.

Of course, if Meng Qi throws out the statement that "Superman may also be a villain", not only will he not get a good result, but he may also arouse the disgust of Superman fans.

Most people think the same way as Ned Barty: Superman equals justice.

But in any case, at this stage, Ned Barty's understanding of the parallel world of comics still satisfies Meng Qi.

This also achieved Meng Qi's purpose.

When Meng Qi saw Ned Barty's novel, he decided to let him come for an interview.

Although Ned Barty's writing is not very good, he is a good storyteller, it can be said that he wrote a wonderful story with poor writing, and if he can truly understand and agree with the concept of comic parallel universes, he will definitely relieve Meng Qi a lot of pressure in the future in the screenwriting work.

"Your answer is very good...... I hope you will be able to come and work at AC Comics. ”

Meng Qi quickly made a decision, and in the face of such a talent with great potential, he was certainly unwilling to let go.

"What? Did I hear me right? Ned Barty noticed that her voice was shaking.

"You heard it right, we have decided to hire you...... "Su Nan also said at this time, "Since you have not yet graduated, I suggest that you join as an intern, but you still need to grasp the specific things, and after you come down, the staff of our company will discuss with you in detail about the entry situation." ”

But by this time, Ned Barty didn't care about any of this, and he jumped up from his chair happily and shouted, "I made it!" I'm one step closer to my dream! ”
