After explaining to Editor Sun, Meng Zhe first smiled apologetically at the Jiang sisters, and waited until Jiang Weirui, who was the elder sister, said that he would let him go to receive the people from Mango Terrace first, and then Meng Zhe went to find Kong Lan and Jiang Ling and Hu Qianrong, the original paintings of "Princess Huanzhu".

It is necessary to find Kong Lan, firstly, Kong Lan is the president of Tianjiao Society, who is responsible for external affairs, and secondly, Meng Zhe, who is bargaining or something, he is completely talented, let him talk about it by himself, and it is estimated that Dingtian can only keep the bottom price, and only Kong Lan can get the greatest benefit.

Jiang Ling and Hu Qianrong, who are looking for the original painting, are out of respect for the two, although the original of this comic is actually Meng Zhe himself, but it is this Jiang and Hu who worked hard to draw the comic, so Meng Zhe feels the need to explain this matter to the two.

Naturally, after Meng Zhe informed Jiang Hu and the others of the news that the comics of "Princess Huanzhu" might be adapted into a TV series and put on the screen, the two of them were almost speechless in surprise - not to mention how much copyright fee they can get for the adapted script, but the name of the first Guoman to be adapted into a TV series will be very face-saving when you say it in the future!

Therefore, Jiang Hu and the others couldn't wait to immediately go to reach an agreement with the people of Mango Terrace, even if the other party's copyright fee was less!

Meng Zhe can actually understand this kind of mood, for example, the bearded Zhang Jizhong in later generations filmed the CCTV version of "Shooting the Condor" or something, and the original author Jin Daxia Zha Liangyong only symbolized the surname and only took a dollar of authorization fees...... This does not mean that Jin Daxia is an old man, and his conduct has been noble to the extent that he regards money as dung.

To be honest, Jiang Hu's feelings Meng Zhe is understandable, but he can't let the two of them learn from Jin Daxia, which is almost equivalent to selling the copyright for free, and even Meng Zhe hopes to sell the copyright at a sky-high price.

The reason is actually very simple, because we have now reached the era of market economy, so the more profitable things will be, the more people will participate, if the live-action TV series adaptation copyright of the "Princess Huanzhu" comic can be sold at a high price, then after the news spreads, more people will be willing to pay attention to the animation industry.

The reason for this is that Meng Zhe is engrossed in the production of animated films, and he does not hesitate to rack his brains to make all kinds of gimmicks and hype rabbits, the purpose is nothing more than Meng Zhe He hopes to make this market bigger, and then he doesn't have to worry about life for the rest of his life.

All in all, Meng Zhe's real purpose is nothing more than to entrap his selfishness of making a fortune in the overall environment of making domestic animation bigger and stronger.

Therefore, Meng Zhe did not directly take Jiang Hu and the others to meet the people from Mango Terrace, but told two very high-sounding and philosophical stories with the excited Jiang Hu and the others-"...... During the Spring and Autumn Period, there was a law in the Lu State that the Lu people were reduced to slaves abroad, and if someone could redeem them, they could go to the treasury to reimburse the ransom. Once, Confucius's disciple Zigong (Duanmu Ci) ransomed a Lu man abroad and refused to accept state compensation after returning to China...... Guess what Confucius said when he heard about it? ”

When he said this, Meng Zhe deliberately stopped talking, and looked at Jiang Hu and the others, who were extremely excited, as if they were very meaningful.

"Huh? Confucius will definitely praise this Zigong, right? ”

Jiang Ling thought about it and replied, because she felt that since Confucius was the representative of Confucianism, he would definitely like this kind of thing of doing good deeds without trying to reciprocate. Hu Qianrong next to Jiang Ling also nodded again and again, obviously she thought so too.

"Hehe, that's wrong—Confucius's assessment of this matter is completely opposite to what you think."

Meng Zhe smiled and shook his head, in the nineties, people were most concerned about whether they could make money and whether they could make a lot of money.

Of course, Jiang Ling and Hu Qianrong, who are cartoonists and are drawing comics with ancient Chinese backgrounds, also think that it is a little wrong.

Meng Zhe has always felt that even if he is a cartoonist, he needs to have a deeper understanding of the thoughts of the ancient sages...... In this way, the drawn comics will not seem to have no connotation and connotation, and can only rely on the sensory stimulation of selling cute meat to win the attention of readers.

Which of those truly classic comics does not permeate the worldview and outlook on life of the cartoonist himself that is different from others?

As for the comics that sell cuteness, sell meat, buy and kill, and die.,When you first read it, you will find it very attractive.,But after watching a few more films, it's not very attractive.,After reading it, it's quickly forgotten...... But then again, although these anime with no connotation are basically forgotten after watching them, it is still quite good to use them to cheat money out of readers' pockets. After all, this is the same as the starting point in the later life, Xiaobaishu can get a good income, because the readership base is too large, and the old birds who have read too many books will pick and choose, while new readers are in the stage of being hungry and looking good at any book.

However, if you want readers to pay real money for a long time and willingly to support, you have to move closer to the level of classics with connotation.

When he thought of this, Meng Zhe finally found that he was actually distracted, so he looked at Jiang Hu and the others who were waiting for him to answer with a puzzled face, and then coughed dryly.

"Ahem...... When Confucius heard about this, he called Zigong, that is, Duanmu Ci, to him, and said in a serious voice: "Ci, what you have taken is not a good way. From now on, the people of Lu will no longer be willing to redeem their compatriots who have become slaves. If you recover the compensation from the state, it will not impair the value of your actions; And if you refuse to get back the money you paid, others will not redeem them. ’”

After saying the answer, Meng Zhe swept Jiang Hu and the others with the afterglow of his eyes, and found that both of them showed thoughtful expressions before the corners of his mouth turned up with a smile - although Guoman is sluggish, how can a person who can emerge from it and be somewhat famous in the future generations, how can he be stupid?

Therefore, Meng Zhe, who was more satisfied with the reaction of the two, continued: "Later, Zilu, another disciple of Confucius, rescued a person who fell into the water, and the rescued person gave a cow in order to thank Zilu, and Zilu accepted it. At this time, Confucius commented: 'At this moment, the people of Lu will definitely have the courage to save those who have fallen into the water.' ’……”

With Meng Zhe's second story as a comparison, Jiang Hu and the others finally fully understood that Meng Zhe was actually criticizing them euphemistically, so after the two of them glanced at each other, their faces were slightly feverish.

Oops!

We just said that we are willing to sell the copyright at a low price or even for free, which is simply doing the same thing as that Zigong! Although some of the comics are drawn for the sake of ideals, more people must value the income from drawing comics, right?

If they see that we have drawn such a popular "Princess Huanzhu", and when it is adapted into a TV series, they will not earn much from the adaptation licensing fee, maybe they will be disappointed because of it, right?

And if you can get a large amount of TV series change licensing fees, maybe...... No, it will definitely inspire more people to start creating comics!

Sure enough, we are still too far away from Teacher Jiji!

…… Jiang Hu and the others, who were thinking like this, looked at Meng Zhe involuntarily, and they couldn't help but change their respectful and admiring appearance when they first arrived at Tianjiao Club.

The only difference from the beginning is that Jiang and Hu admired Meng Zhe's talent in comics, and now what they admire is Meng Zhe's far-sighted and profound thoughts that far surpass mortals.

It's a pity that Meng Zhe didn't know what the two of them thought, and if he knew, he would probably be quite ashamed and blush, because Meng Zhe's real purpose for making these demon moths was actually just out of selfishness.

It's just like those corrupt officials who take advantage of the opportunity to develop the local economy, and then take bribes from their hands in it, and most of the opinions of such corrupt officials among the people will not be bad, because in the eyes of the people, although these corrupt officials do make money, they do make the poor land rich, and let the grass people also share the benefits of economic development...... So sometimes, a corrupt official with achievements is actually more useful than ten clean and mediocre officials with clean sleeves but no action.

Although Jiang Ling and Hu Qianrong, limited to their experience at this time and the information they have, they can't see what Meng Zhe's true thoughts are, but in fact, even if they really understand Meng Zhe's selfishness, they will still admire and worship Meng Zhe.

After all, compared with those corrupt officials who have made a difference, but in fact have also encroached on the interests of the grass people, Meng Zhe's actions are actually for personal gain, and they have not harmed anyone's interests...... Well, after all, Jiang Hu and the others are not traversers, so they will never know that Meng Zhe's stunning creations actually infringe on the interests of the original authors.

…… In short, under Meng Zhe's 'teaching', Jiang Hu and the others, who were originally very likely to sell the TV adaptation copyright cheaply, reported a very high adaptation authorization fee in front of the visitors of Mango Station according to Kong Lan's arrangement.

Just when the business was about to collapse, Kong Lan, who was good at dancing in the business field, finally made a move, and finally the person sent by Mango Taiwan to negotiate happily accepted the price proposed by Kong Lan, although it was far lower than the price of Jiang Hu and the others, but it was actually far higher than Meng Zhe's bottom line...... Because of the high price I bought, it is not only the TV series adaptation authorization fee of "Princess Huanzhu", but also "Sword of Immortals"!

This situation made Meng Zhe, who witnessed the entire negotiation process on the side, involuntarily admire Kong Lan to a higher level.

"How tall?"

Kong Lan, who was victorious, asked sideways.

"This ...... To say the least, it has to be as tall as Everest! ”

Meng Zhe blinked his eyes and said in a tone that seemed to be flattering.

"Sycophants!"

Kong Lan pursed his lips and smiled, and then pinched Meng Zhe's cheek with his habitual surname.

And Meng Zhe fell into a state of distraction, because in Meng Zhe's eyes, Kong Lan at this time was so radiant and beautiful that it was suffocating...... Meng Zhe's stupid appearance was naturally quickly noticed by Kong Lan, so a faint red glow appeared on Kong Lan's face, and the hand that was originally holding Meng Zhe's face affectionately also loosened.

After a long while, Kong Lan broke the silence again and said, "Brother Xiao Zhe, I heard that you rejected Bian Xiaochun's plan to adapt "Sword of Immortals" into a game again? ”

"Well, dismissed! According to the plan they submitted, the game will be no different from Taiwan's Daewoo's "The Legend of Sword and Fairy", so there is no need to do it. After all, Meng Zhe is a teenager with the heart of a strange uncle, so he is not so tender that he is embarrassed to answer.

It's just that when he replied, Meng Zhe couldn't help but think about it, recalling the posture of the little child that Kong Lan showed just now - because Meng Zhe could clearly feel that Kong Lan's pretty face was slightly red just now and definitely didn't treat him as a younger brother.

Therefore, Meng Zhe couldn't help but think of Kong Lan's breathtakingly beautiful appearance just now.

Sister Lan just now, it's so good-looking...... For a while, Meng Zhe was a little stupid again, although he quickly realized that he was in a trance, so he shook his head and threw this thought out of his mind...... It's just that you really won't think about it anymore?

Meng Zhe didn't know, because he didn't dare to continue thinking about it, because Kong Lan was his sister.

When Meng Zhe was thinking nonsense, Kong Lan was also obviously in a state of distraction, so the two of them said a few more words in a mess and then found a reason to separate.

After returning to his office and studio and being quiet for a while, Meng Zhe finally 'escaped' from Tianjiao Club and went to school for a rare time.

When he arrived at school, Meng Zhe suddenly found that the original time had quietly reached the end of the semester, but after sitting down in his seat, Meng Zhe was surprised to find that Mu Huaying, who was sitting next to him, was not reviewing his homework but reading extracurricular books.

A copy of the original Spanish version of "One Hundred Years of Solitude" and a thick Spanish dictionary were quietly placed in front of Mu Huaying.

Can this girl really understand?

Meng Zhe doesn't actually know Spanish, but he knows "Cien-A? os-de-soledad", because in later generations, his beloved wife Jiang Weirui also bought the original Spanish version of "One Hundred Years of Solitude".

As soon as Mu Huaying was engraved like this, Jiang Weirui also looked at the book while flipping through the dictionary, while Meng Zhe, who was intoxicated with comics, only remembered the string of Spanish characters as the title of the book.

Although he has not read the original version, Meng Zhe has also learned this "One Hundred Years of Solitude", which won the Nobel Prize for Dynamite and wrote the entire history of Latin America in a magical way, in a high school textbook.

To be honest, when he was studying the text, Meng Zhe just thought that the story told in "One Hundred Years of Solitude" was absurd but very interesting.

It wasn't until Jiang Weirui bought the original version of "One Hundred Years of Solitude" after marriage, and after reading it, she intentionally or unintentionally said some of the contents of the book to Meng Zhe, Meng Zhe didn't know the breadth and profundity of the book and the author's own compelling talent.

But even Jiang Weirui, who was in her twenties at that time, once said that she couldn't understand them all...... Probably aware of Meng Zhe's puzzled gaze, Mu Huaying, who was originally concentrating on reading, finally raised his head, and after seeing Meng Zhe observing himself suspiciously, Mu Huaying nodded at Meng Zhe with his usual surname.

"You're here."

After a brief greeting as usual, Mu Huaying moved her gaze back to the original "One Hundred Years of Solitude", but this time she obviously couldn't continue to concentrate on reading the book.

Biting her lip slightly, Mu Huaying reached out and took out a thick notebook from her schoolbag.

"The focus of the exam, the teachers circle, and ......" When putting the notebook in front of Meng Zhe, Mu Huaying finished the words in an almost inaudible voice: "...... I guess. ”

Looking at Juanxiu's handwriting on the notebook, Meng Zhe didn't know how to answer.

Probably having guessed Meng Zhe's reaction a long time ago, Mu Huaying, who was small, smiled at Meng Zhe, slightly revealing two rows of teeth as white as braided shells.

"Meng Zhe, you guy, won't you even say thank you? This is this stupid girl of Jacaranda...... Specially for you, a busy man—preparative! ”

Someone pushed Meng Zhe's shoulder very hard, and said in a very dissatisfied tone.

There is no need to look back, Meng Zhe also knew that the person who was fighting for Mu Huaying was Guan Yingluo, so Meng Zhe could only reply with a wry smile: "I said Guan Yingluo, are you announcing a personal vendetta?" ”

The so-called communiqué personal vendetta is because after Guan Yingluo finished "The Emperor of Qin", the original manuscripts of several new novels were all killed by Meng Zhe mercilessly, so the annoyed Guan Yingluo gritted her teeth and said that she would never write a damn novel again, while trying her best to collect all kinds of writing materials...... "Cut, do you think I am you?" Guan Yingluo glared at Meng Zhe fiercely, and then continued to urge: "Don't interrupt, hurry up and say thank you to the jacaranda!" ”

Guan Yingluo, this Nizi is good at everything, but occasionally when she is hot-blooded, she can't help but be uneven, even if Mu Huaying does these things in her opinion, they already belong to the category of love rivals.

"Thank you, Jacaranda-san, but then again...... Aren't you afraid that after I look at your notes, your final exam score will surpass you? When the first grade becomes the second grade, don't cry! ”

Meng Zhe said on the donkey, although he was still pretending to be confused, what was the meaning of Mu Huaying's notebook Meng Zhe understood.

And Mu Huaying didn't say anything more, she just smiled with curled eyelashes...... "Stupid!" ”

Guan Yingluo was behind and muttered angrily.

What's the difference between who of you is the first and who is the second? Won't you still be at the same table next semester?
