In the end, eight young men and women from all over the motherland and even overseas, who had practiced their painting skills for many years and would have become Chinese painting painters or oil painting painters, were inspired by the dream of revitalizing Guoman under the flapping of the wings of Meng Zhe's time and space butterfly, and successfully passed Meng Zhe's test and stayed in Tianjiao Society.

Meng Zhe did not directly prescribe the future route for the eight people, but just asked the eight people to follow as assistants first, and learn the most basic knowledge of comics while doing things.

Although these people with dreams now only know how to draw comics, but they don't know any of them, who can be sure that they will not be able to become famous cartoonists in the future?

Meng Zhe, who nodded to confirm that the eight people had joined the Tianjiao Society, could not know what the future of the eight people would become, the only thing he could be sure of was that the life trajectory of the eight people had changed because of him.

The current Tianjiao Society, which was originally empty and large, is now full of busy editors.

The big studio that used to be deserted, with only Yao Fei pulling the five of them, is now also crowded with new comics who have been summoned by Tianjiao Club one after another, plus a larger number of assistants, there is no way for everyone to sit down...... Fortunately, when the magazine office was renovated, a total of two large studios were renovated, so there were no big problems after the diversion.

Next to the magazine, a two-and-a-half-story building is now also contracted by Tianjiao Society, which should be Meng Zhe himself, and after a simple renovation, it has become the residence of the animation studio.

The studio, named 'Gigi Animation', has been crammed with all kinds of things related to animation production, and several Shueisha people have asked me to lead those young people who have been selected to be suitable animators, and they are making intermediate paintings for the TV animation "Chess Soul".

During the day, Tianjiao Club and Jiji Animation Studio are full of people, and at night, the lights are bright all night - those passionate comic lovers can even draw all night with only a few hundred yuan of living expenses.

"With such a low salary, I can work hard and do so much work without complaint...... Mr. Jiji, if these young people can persevere, sooner or later there will be a very powerful cartoonist among them! ”

One night, when he walked out of Tianjiao Club with Meng Zhe, he pointed to the two brightly lit studios with some emotion and said.

"Teacher Heyue, these young people are no different from us, they are also dream eaters."

Meng Zhe replied.

"Yes, they are also dream eaters to be admired! However, Yoshiyoshi-sensei, after talking to Kishimoto and Junichiro, I realized that there are a lot of restrictions on manga in your country. Compared to our book, your country's copyright protection is also very bad, and it is easy to buy low-quality pirated comics in bookstores...... In our case, the shopkeepers who dared to sell pirated publications in the bookstores they ran would have been fined and bankrupt, but your country's political axe seems to have turned a blind eye to this......"

He Yue Nobuhiro nodded in affirmation of Meng Zhe's statement, but then he turned the topic to the issue of piracy.

“…… Later, it will get better. ”

In addition to answering like this, what else can Meng Zhe say?

"Well, it should be like this, I heard that in Taiwan, the book publishing market used to be chaotic, but since last year, it has been banning pirated publications on a large scale! My editor-in-charge said that several Taiwanese publishing houses have been actively contacting Shueisha, and if they want to obtain the authorization for the original distribution, my upcoming serialized "Rogue Kenshin" should also be able to make a small profit in the Taiwan market, hahaha......"

Unexpectedly, Nobuhiro Heyue actually believed Meng Zhe's statement, and he made the judgment that China's publishing market will become more and more on the right track.

"Taiwan?"

Meng Zhe's eyes lit up, Taiwan, which began to sweep up pirated copies, is also a big market, Sister Lan is from Taiwan, I don't know if it's difficult to open an anime boy's branch in Taiwan...... "Good evening, Mr. Jiji!" ”

Just when Meng Zhe was thinking about this question, someone asked him goodnight.

"Good evening!"

Meng Zhe looked up, but found that it was Zhang Cheng and Liu Kang, each carrying two hot water bottles, coming from the direction of No. 1 Middle School, obviously to stay up late to learn the skills of drawing comics.

In order to settle everyone, Tianjiao Club rented some suites in the residential building next to No. 1 Middle School, which served as a staff dormitory for Tianjiao Society's editors and temporary residences for cartoonists and assistants.

The six women and two men from the Oil Painting Department and the Chinese Painting Department of the Provincial Academy of Fine Arts were naturally arranged to live in these suites.

This arrangement is the result of Meng Zhe's deliberate efforts, and he wants these young people who love comics to understand that enthusiasm is not enough, and that there must be excellent comic works to get more - whether it is wealth or status.

Although it was late at night, on the way home, Meng Zhe still encountered several freight cars running by, and he didn't know whether the cars were loaded with the newly launched 'Chinese Little Master' brand instant noodles, or the simplified single books of "Chess Soul" and "Light Girl".

At Meng Zhe's suggestion, the bag was paired with instant noodles for the "Stupid Guardian of the Three Kingdoms" Three Kingdoms character card, which was named the "Chinese Little Master" brand by Meng Zhe, and Meng Zhe also specially drew the character image of the Chinese Little Master for the packaging bag.

Of course, no one in this era can know where the prototype of this 'little Chinese master' comes from.

As for the two single books,It's another business expansion of Tianjiao Society,In order to be safe, Tianjiao Society adopts the strategy of pre-ordering and then printing,In order to stimulate sales, each book will be paired with a gift of exquisite bookmarks、Bookmarks such as keychains。

Ten copies of the surname are scheduled at a time.,There will be an additional Q version of the character gacha two.,This gacha is a peripheral product designed and produced by the mud bomb over there.,The mud bomb has developed a series of peripheral products of "Chess Soul" and "Light Sound Girl", and the gacha is just one of them.

Of course, authorizing the production of these peripheral products has made Meng Zhe earn a lot of money...... has already got more than one million, and it is not clear how many Meng Zhe will follow-up, in short, there must be more.

The editor in charge of Meng Zhe of Shueisha is now resident in Tianjiao Society, and he only revealed to Meng Zhe yesterday that after this year's Shueisha annual meeting, he will give Meng Zhe's family remuneration and signing money, and the specific amount has not yet been decided, but it will definitely not be less than 50,000 yuan per manuscript.

Convert Chengren coins to 4,000 yuan each?

Oh, this is interesting - it has already won the highest price in the history of Jinhong, but Jinhong's 4000 each is in China, and our 4000 each is in the mud, and if you compare it with the actual price, it is a little low.

"Teacher Jiji, see you tomorrow!"

When he walked near the entrance of No. 1 Middle School, He Yue Shenhong bent down to salute Meng Zhe, and after Meng Zhe returned the salute more casually, he walked towards the place where he lived.

And Meng Zhe, after looking back, glanced at the main avenue of the county where there were still cars coming and going, and then turned around and walked in the direction of the No. 1 Middle School Family Hospital...... Wufeng County, where there were not many vehicles coming and going, quietly changed the traffic flow because of the existence of Tianjiao Society, and there would be vehicles from morning to night every day, coming in and out of the printing factory that was expanding more and more from the Jiang family.

With the increase in the flow of people, the county's business has also become significantly prosperous, and there are no other places to say, but there have been six more restaurants and a small shop near Tianjiao Club since the New Year.

Although Tianjiao Society itself enjoys the benefits of tax reduction and exemption because of Kong Lan's status as a Taiwanese compatriot, the cartoonists under Tianjiao Society all have to pay taxes, and the Jiang family's printing house also has to pay taxes...... Meng Zhe heard Guan Yingluo say that Wufeng County, which is still firmly in the top 100 national-level poverty-stricken counties in this era, has now completed a quarter of the original annual tax plan.

And the time, but it was just the middle of March, and the sixth issue of the main issue of "Anime Boys" had just been finalized and was sent to the Jiang family's printing house.

Well?

Wait a minute!

Is it already mid-March?

Doesn't this mean that my wife and sister-in-law Mel are about to die?!

Meng Zhe, who was already a little dizzy, suddenly remembered that he seemed to have almost missed something very important, but after thinking about it carefully, he was relieved - the Chinese are calculated according to the lunar calendar, so there is still some time.

However, this time he was almost busy forgetting about his future wife's birth, which also sounded a wake-up call for Meng Zhe, so Meng Zhe planned to prepare a birthday gift tomorrow.

In order not to forget, Meng Zhe also deliberately took a red pen and drew a big circle on March 17 of the lunar calendar before going to sleep with peace of mind.

The next day, Meng Zhe asked his editor in charge of Shueisha, who was based in Wufeng County, to order some things from the mud bombardment, and after the editor patted his chest and said that he would definitely deliver all the items ordered by Meng Zhe as soon as possible, Meng Zhe finally got into the small studio with peace of mind.

In the small studio, the two big loli of the Jiang family had already arrived early, and when Meng Zhe entered the door, they were communicating with Kishimoto Saishi and Eiichiro Oda in the form of stumbling Chinese, stumbling Chinese and dancing sign language.

"Meng Jiji, what are you calling me and my sister for?"

Jiang Xiyao, who was originally excited about what Kishimoto Qishi was talking to, saw Meng Zhe who pushed the door in at a glance, so she left Kishimoto Qishi and ran to the door without hesitation.

"Of course there's something!"

Meng Zhe said with a smile, although he didn't show it on his face, but Meng Zhe was proud in his heart: Hehe, my sister-in-law is really close to us!

"What the hell is going on, my sister and I are very busy right now, and we want to draw a new short ...... Yikes! Can't tell Meng Jiji yours! My sister and I didn't draw anything! ”

Jiang Xiyao glared at Meng Zhe in annoyance, and then pouted and said this, but in the middle of the sentence, there was a fierce mouth in my mouth, and then this girl tried to cover up, but unfortunately the words to cover up were simply three hundred taels of silver here.

"Stupid, are you sure you really didn't mean to give me a tip-off?"

The funny appearance of the sister-in-law, Meng Zhe laughed no, no, this girl is simply a pistachio.

"Only, not yet!"

Jiang Xiyao stomped her feet and replied with great annoyance.

So Meng Zhe was even happier, and now he has roughly mastered how funny it is, and Meng Zhe, who will not be crazy with his sister-in-law Jiang Xiyao, stopped talking between the two in moderation, and then walked in front of his sister Jiang Weirui and asked softly: "Xun'er, what are you and Mei'er painting a new short story?" ”

"I'll show it to you when it's done!"

Jiang Weirui glanced at Meng Zhe a little shyly, then lowered her head and whispered.

"So? Okay, I'll look at it when you're done, but I guess it's going to be something that will make my eyes shine, right? ”

Meng Zhe continued with a smile, probably because of the Xi Shi in his lover's eyes, he felt that the shy appearance of his future wife was really cute!

“…… Well. ”

Feeling Meng Zhe's gaze, the shy Jiang Weirui's head drooped lower and lower, but even so, she still hummed softly, saying that she would not live up to Meng Zhe's expectations.

"Wait for me."

Because there were still outsiders, Meng Zhe put away his affection in moderation, and after asking a few people to wait for a while, he walked out of the small studio and called the four suitable people who were waiting outside the door, selected by a few Meng Zhe, into the house.

Among the four people, three of them were from the eight art academy students, and among the three, Zhang Cheng and Liu Kang, two living treasures, there were many of them.

After everyone else in the house, except for Ken Obata in the house, everyone else fell on him, Meng Zhe coughed and opened his mouth and said, "Gather everyone, in fact, I just want to announce one thing!" I need everyone to co-create a robot comic with me, called Neon Genesis Evangelion, or Eva for short. ”

After a slight pause, Meng Zhe continued: "Although I haven't started painting yet, this comic has been confirmed to be the first animation work of Jiji Animation Studio I established. In addition, I think this work is enough to make everyone's name shine for decades, and remember that everyone will not only be remembered by anime fans, but also educators, scientists, historians, and religious people! Life...... But it's only been a few decades, and if you can participate in the work that is destined to be remembered by future generations, you can go away with a smile even if you die in the future, right? ”

After finishing speaking in Chinese, Meng Zhe repeated these two sentences in Chinese, and after listening to Meng Zhe's words, Eiichiro Oda stood up exaggeratedly, he was obviously bewitched by Meng Zhe!

"Teacher Jiji, you're so right! A person's life is as short as a cherry blossom that will wither as soon as it blooms, if you can't do something meaningful in your short life, then what's the point of living?! Mr. Gigi, please let me be involved in this work - please!! ”

After speaking, Oda Eiichiro bowed deeply to Meng Zhe, if it weren't for the fact that there were no tatami mats on the ground in China, maybe the excited Oda Junichiro would have taken more drastic actions.

Although I can't understand what Eiichiro Oda said, who is full of birds, but the four Chinese people who were called by Meng Zhe to participate in this work, where can they not see what Eiichiro Oda wants to express with this bowing expression?

His grandmother's, even this little Yomoto named Oda, has already expressed such a resolute statement, how can we Chinese who have the same blood flowing in the veins as Teacher Yoshigichi lag behind?

As a result, the four Chinese people also shouted that they were determined to participate, and the bald guy Liu Kang exaggerated, claiming that if Mr. Ji Ji did not let him participate in this glorious and arduous comic and animation production task, he would 'look up to the sky and laugh and go out, and go out to hang the southeast branch'...... Just when everyone was in chaos and asking for battle, the door of the small studio was suddenly pushed open from the outside, and then a middle-aged man who was even more bald than the bald guy Liu Kang rushed into the studio despite the obstruction of the editor of the magazine, pointed at Liu Kang's noses and roared: "Liu Kang, you are a rebel!" If you give it to Lao Tzu, I'll go back to the Academy of Fine Arts immediately! Do you hear that?! ”

After yelling at Liu Kang, this bald middle-aged man who looked a little similar to Liu Kang looked around the room viciously, then locked his eyes on Meng Zhe, and then said in an extremely contemptuous tone: "You are the Meng Zhe who was blown into a genius boy, right?" These days, even cats and dogs dare to claim to be geniuses? It's really - the world is down!! ”

Without waiting for Meng Zhe to open his mouth to speak, this bald middle-aged man who was obviously Liu Kang's father changed his breath and continued to point at Meng Zhe's nose and roared: "What kind of new comics can draw a few ugly strokes, I don't know how thick the sky is?" How dare you trick my son into working as a coolie for your shabby magazine?! I don't care if you lie to others, but - my son Liu Kang is destined to become an excellent Chinese painting painter in the future! Do you know what Chinese painting is? You know what elegance is?! ”

"Dad! What are you talking about? Do you know how good Mr. Jigi's drawing skills are?! ”

Liu Kang rushed over with a red face, blocking between his father and Meng Zhe, and his emotions became obviously very excited. Liu Kang felt that his father didn't understand what he was going to do now, what a meaningful thing it was!

Moreover, will Mr. Jiji not understand Chinese painting? Teacher Jiji doesn't understand what elegance is?!

Yes, Mr. Gigi is still very young! But after only a few days of contact, Liu Kang had already discovered that this young teacher Jiji was really a big genius just like what was written in "The Boy Here", and he was a genius whose thinking was far more mature than that of an adult!

"Bunny, get out of the way for me! I'll clean you up later!" Liu Kang's father, with great strength, pulled Liu Kang to the side, and then he continued to point at Meng Zhe's nose and roared: "The painting skills are very powerful, right?" Then tell me, you are a young genius with great painting skills, how many cents can you earn for a painting with hard work?! Great drawing skills?! Bah - can't make money, not even bullshit! Do you understand the theory of Chinese painting according to the flat ruler? The teacher of the Academy of Fine Arts said that Liu Kang's Chinese paintings can now be sold for 50 yuan per square foot, do you understand? ! ”

Patiently hearing this, Meng Zhe finally smiled and said, "Hmm...... Uncle Liu, right? Do you know how much an area is in one square foot? And are you sure you really want to know the current price of each of my comics? ”
