Chapter 369: The Comic Market
In a conference room, Luo Feng looked at the other party with a serious face, it was an old man with silver hair and well-dressed, the two sides were tense, those who knew understood that the two were negotiating, and those who didn't understand thought that there was any hatred between the two sides.

"Mr. Hanny, this is already my limit, you must know that I am not the only company you choose!" Luo Feng's fingers tapped rhythmically on the tabletop, and a hint of sharpness flashed in his eyes.
Five days ago, Luo Feng received Cameron's video, and then Luo Feng was preparing his plan to open a comic company, in his previous life, he was a Marvel fan, and his favorite was Iron Man, genius and arrogance, full of disdain in his words, arrogant, but he is a genius! Likes to be in the limelight, but he's a genius! Well, the most important reason is that he is a genius.
So now Luo Feng feels that he has an obligation to let Marvel's heroes reappear in this world, Black Widow, Captain America, Director Nick, and Agent Coulson are all people that Luo Feng particularly likes, on the contrary, Luo Feng is not very interested in DC Comics heroes, especially Superman who wears underwear, which is not as burning as Marvel's heroes at all! So flesh and blood!
So after Luo Feng inspected the American film market, he found this comic company called Dream Maker through the venture capital association, the comic industry in this life is not as hot as in the previous life, the comics of various countries have not gone abroad, and there are no world-renowned comic characters, and this is Luo Feng's opportunity and Luo Feng's challenge.
The opportunity is that there is not much competition, you can win with the story in your head, of course, a cartoonist with superb painting is indispensable, and the challenge is that it is not easy for Luo Feng to become bigger and stronger. In fact, an excellent cartoonist is not easy to find, drawing comics not only requires professional skills, but also his literary literacy can not be low, the words and sentences in the comics are particularly short, but they must show the character in a short clause, but also narrate the background of the story, this requirement is very high.
"Mr. Luo, but what you need is not a company, but an excellent comic creation team, right?" The old man smiled and spoke without a hint of fireworks.
The corners of Luo Feng's mouth flashed a trace of inexplicability, the reason why he fell in love with this second-rate company, a company that only supplies comics in the surrounding areas of New York, is because the person in front of him, Hanny, is now in his fifties, has been in the industry for decades, has superb painting skills, and has rich cultivation. Luo Feng has specially seen their company's works, but in fact, everything is in place, and they only lack a story.
Comics are just as much a story as movies, and if there is no story with an attractive plot, how can comics be attractive. But even if Luo Feng values Hanny, it doesn't mean that Luo Feng has to be him, he can kick his nose in the face.
"Mr. Hanni, let me be blunt, I don't like your company because of your distribution channels, but because of your creative skills." Speaking of this, Luo Feng paused, and a hint of smugness flashed on Hanny's face.
"But I don't need you to create it when I take over the company, because I've already conceived the whole story, the characters, and all you have to do is draw them. You're not as important as you think, and if you really can't buy it, I don't mind finding another company, it's all my idea anyway. ā
"Hmph, you are a naked insult! Are you a layman who thinks the comic book industry is as easy as you say? ā
Luo Feng dragged a piece of paper, drew a character in three or five minutes and handed it to Hanny, which was the famous Captain America in later generations, Luo Feng's expression was faint: "This is one of the characters I conceived, his name is Steve Rogers, and he also has another name, Captain America!" ā
"Captain America?" Hanny flashed a hint of confusion.
"Born on July 4, 1920 in Brooklyn, New York, USA, he was thin and small, but he was determined to participate in the just war of World War II........ Later, Captain America was frozen under the ice and slept for 70 years, and his story unfolded again. ā
Hanny licked his lips, clearly looking unsatisfied. Luo Feng stood up: "I told you the story of Captain America just to show that I really don't lack you, I just need the executor." Plus, this is just one of the heroes, okay, we'll see you later. ā
"Wait." Hanni couldn't help but shout, the four words of Captain America seemed to grow in his mind, making him can't wait to know what will happen next, and what S.H.I.E.L.D. heard from the story just now made him suddenly feel that if he didn't cooperate with Luo Feng, he would probably regret it for the rest of his life.
Luo Feng looked at Hanni with some confusion, "Mr. Hanni, is there anything else?" In fact, Luo Feng's heart is already happy, and it is easiest to get hold of these academic talents, as long as they release what they are interested in, they will naturally take the initiative to take the bait.
"Is the rest of the story integrated with our history, our world?"
"Of course, the birth of every superhero is not accidental, they all have their own lives, they are all modeled after the earth, but we will create a new world based on the earth!"
Hearing this, Haney muttered, comics similar to heroic biographies, and perfectly integrated with history, the sense of identity will definitely be particularly strong, this should be successful, right?
"How many years will the manga you conceived be published?"
"Decades, or even longer!"
Hanny's face was moved when he heard this, and decades were enough to make his work a cultural asset that the world could not ignore, if other stories could be as good as Captain America.
"Mr. Luo, I think I can promise you your decision to wholly acquire our company."
Luo Feng smiled reservedly: "Then we have a happy cooperation." ā
"It's a pleasure to work with, but first I'm going to go back and tell my colleagues about this decision, and I think I'll convince them!"
"Then I'll wait for good news."
Hanny's hurried departure, and even now in his mind how to convince his colleagues, is a great story, and we are likely to work a miracle...... Without these inflammatory words, Hanny felt that he would not be able to explain to his colleagues why he would sell the company wholly in his own hands.
Luo Feng looked at Hanny's hurried actions with some amusement, how could he not understand that Hanny had no intention of buying the company to him with full ownership, but he was still persuaded by himself, this was an upright conspiracy, which not only lured Hanny's interest, but also told him that Luo Feng did not have to be their company.
Either way, the first step has been taken by the comic company, and the most important thing next is to make the first shot!
