Chapter 46: Unexpected Joy (2)
"Is it Grandpa Wang? I'm Xiaofei, I don't know the ......" On the phone, when Xiang Junfei just wanted to ask the other party about the signing result, Wang Yongsheng interrupted him: "Hehe, do you want to think about whether your two comics have found a publishing house and are willing to publish them?" Don't worry, the general manager of Dongli in Hong Kong called me and said that their publishing house was willing to sign a contract with you, and asked me for your home address, saying that I would come to Chongqing in person and sign a contract with you. ”
"It's actually Hong Kong Dongli, this ...... It's just amazing! Originally, Xiang Junfei was mentally prepared for the worst outcome, but he didn't expect things to take such a turn. His works not only found his "in-law's family" in Hong Kong, but also this "in-law's family" is also the Dongli he is familiar with. Although Dongli's current situation is not very good, Xiang Junfei, who understands the future trend of the comic world, knows that in 2003, Daran Publishing House was sued in court because of long-term arrears of copyright fees owed to Japanese comic publishers such as the Shogakukan Baiquan Society, and because it could not pay a huge amount of copyright fees, Daran Publishing House, which was once a leader in Taiwan's comic industry, was forced to close down, and Dongli took the opportunity to annex most of Daran's market business and became the undisputed leader of Taiwan's comic industry.
In addition, Dongli not only has a deep-rooted influence in Taiwan and Hong Kong, but also has a certain connection with many publishing houses in Japan.
And now Hong Kong Dongli is willing to sign a contract with Xiang Junfei, which means that "Full-Time Hunter" and "Next Stop Superstar" will soon meet readers in Hong Kong and Taiwan, and entering the Japanese comic scene has become just around the corner. Originally, Xiang Junfei was still frustrated that the two comics could not sign contracts with Hong Kong local comic publishing houses such as "Jade Dynasty" and "Tianxia", but now he can be glad in his heart that those publishing houses are fortunate not to have seen his comics, otherwise how could he sign a contract with Dongli, this is really a loss of horses, and peace is not a blessing.
"Of course it's true, I can still lie to you about it. Manager Deng is very sincere, just waiting for your reply, as long as you are willing to sign a contract with their company, then he will immediately fly to Chongqing to discuss specific matters with you. Wang Yongsheng responded with a smile while thinking of the scene of his phone call with Deng Cheng that day.
At that time, Deng Cheng repeatedly asked for the actual address of Xiang Junfei's house, and confirmed the actual age of Xiang Junfei's house to Wang Yongsheng more than once, because Wang Yongsheng himself did not know Xiang Junfei's home address, and Xiang Junfei called him every time he called, so there was no way to answer Deng Cheng's first question, but he could give the other party a positive answer to the second question.
When Deng Cheng confirmed from Wang Yongsheng that Xiang Junfei was only 13 years old, the excitement was also felt by Wang Yongsheng on the other end of the phone, of course, Deng Cheng's emotions were also understandable to him, you must know that after he got "Full-time Hunter" and "Next Stop Superstar" from Zheng Nan and them, he was also shocked and speechless.
After that, Deng Cheng repeatedly lobbied in front of Wang Yongsheng, boasting that Dongli was a great comic publishing company, and had influence in Taiwan and Hong Kong that could not be ignored, and they attached great importance to Xiang Junfei, a mainland comic prodigy, and asked Wang Yongsheng to persuade Xiang Junfei to choose to sign a contract with them Dongli. However, listening to Xiang Junfei's current tone, Wang Yongsheng felt that he no longer needed to be a lobbyist.
"No problem, no problem, I signed a contract with Dongli this time, and my contact address is ......" On the phone, Xiang Junfei did not say his home address, but told Wang Yongsheng his school address and class. At this time, Xiang Junfei still didn't plan to let his parents know that he was drawing comics, so he didn't want the other party to find a home to negotiate a contract, and he didn't have so many worries at school, even if his classmates or teachers found out that he was talking to the other party, it was easy to get mixed up, just like Deng Nan looked for him last time.
After saying the contact address, Xiang Junfei sincerely thanked Wang Yongsheng on the phone: "Grandpa Wang, thank you very much this time, if you didn't help me, I would ......"
"Don't say anything, in fact, I didn't help you much this time, it was you who won the other party's recognition with your own strength. Your Uncle Dong also called me and said that Renjia attaches great importance to your two comics, and will not only serialize them in their comic magazines, but also release single books. You must know that before you, there was no cartoonist in our mainland who could launch comics in Hong Kong and Taiwan, and this time your comics can be published in these two places, which can be regarded as winning glory for our mainland comic industry. The suspension of "Painting King" has dealt a great blow to Wang Yongsheng, and Xiang Junfei, who was once cultivated by him, can now land in Hong Kong and Taiwan comics and show on a larger stage, which undoubtedly makes Wang Yongsheng feel very gratified, making him feel that he did not create "Painting King" in vain in the past, and the first batch of new cartoonists in Chinese mainland trained by "Painting King" will continue to be active in the Chinese comic scene like a phoenix nirvana, and illuminate the direction of Chinese comics as soon as possible.
Deng Cheng can be said to be living like a year these days, when the assistant invited Dong Li back that day, he also thought that the matter was already ** ten, and after signing a contract with Dong Li, he could take "Full-time Hunter" and "Next Stop Superstar" into his bag, but who knew that Dong Li was not the author of the two comics, of course, what surprised him even more was that Dong Li actually told him that the author of the two comics was a mainland cartoonist, and more importantly, the author's age was only thirteen years old.
What kind of concept is thirteen years old, Deng Cheng naturally knows that most students of this age in Taiwan are in the first grade of middle school, just like Deng Cheng's daughter, who is now a first-year student in middle school. Half-old children of this age are not yet mature in their thinking, all day and night are like becoming adults quickly, and then they no longer have to be controlled by adults, but they don't understand that they still can't get the kind of freedom they imagine after becoming an adult, you will be bound by the company's rules and regulations in the company, and there will be laws in the society, if you trigger these rules and regulations, after crossing the legal cordon, you will not only face the painless chatter of your parents, but the ruthless punishment.
Deng Cheng really couldn't believe that a child like this, who should still have naïve ideas, could draw comics like "Full-Time Hunter" and "Next Stop Superstar", which even he looked fond of, but both Dong Li and Wang Yongsheng explained to him that the two comics were made by a 13-year-old child, which made Deng Cheng full of strong curiosity about Xiang Junfei and wanted to meet each other immediately.
