Chapter 667: Meng Huo's Judgment (500 words in this chapter)
"No, someone is so interested in my new manga?"
At the dinner table, Meng Shu looked surprised after hearing Xu Jing's intention, he just showed a thought to the readers yesterday, he hadn't considered the specific details of the new comic, and he didn't expect it to bring such a big reaction outside.
"And why didn't anyone come to me directly......"
Meng looked at the secretary sitting at the table, who shook his head at him, indicating that he had not received a similar invitation.
Xu Jing laughed: "It shouldn't have come so soon, if they are looking for you, they must be fully prepared." β
The news of the new comic has not been exposed for a day, and most interested people are thinking about it, and as the number one cartoonist in China, no one wants to contact him for this matter without preparation, and it is a good way to try it through GuΓ² Xujing.
Of course, there are inevitably some people who want to see the situation first.
"That's ......"
Meng Shu reluctantly accepted Xu Jing's statement, and he frowned slightly, feeling that the next period of time would be more sad.
"President, I'd like to ask." At this time, Ye Xiong suddenly opened his mouth and asked Xu Jing, "What do they want about the teacher's new comics, right?" Is there a bid for this? β
This question made other people also look at Xu Jing.
"Yes, and the price is not low...... Xu Jing took a sip of tea calmly and quoted a number: "The minimum bid is 100 million Huaxia coins!" β
In an instant, the others took a breath of cool air, and Ye Xiong was dumbfounded, 100 million Huaxia coins, this figure could be worth a year's income of Phoenix Company a few years ago. And now the new comics haven't come out yet, and the choice of themes alone is worth such a high price......
As soon as the news spread. I don't know how many people will go crazy about it!
However, I think about it from the actual effect. It is not a loss to buy a new comic theme with 100 million Huaxia coins. The big corporations and sports businesses spend more than that amount on advertising every year, but with a bit of luck, the money spent on new comics can turn into years of massive advertising.
"What a pity teacher, if you don't take this money for nothing!"
Zhou Qian said excitedly to Meng Shu, many people at the table have the same idea as her, what a pity, the new comic theme is worth hundreds of millions, but this is just the subject matter, and it has nothing to do with the content of the comics: "Teacher, you can choose the subject you like to write." And then knock the money in that industry, it's the best of both worlds. β
They knew that Meng Shu definitely didn't like to be interfered with in the choice of new comics, but in this matter, he could have made a windfall while making his own choiceβeven Xu Jing thought it was a good idea, but he didn't say anything.
Alice nodded in agreement: "This money can be used for charity." β
Since you have money to take, it is natural not to be in vain. Meng Huo wants to draw this kind of technical comics, no matter what, it will have a positive impact on the industry, and it is natural for others to pay a little money, and it will be too lucky if they don't pay anything.
It's a pity that Meng Shu didn't think so.
"I'm not going to take money for this subject."
He replied that what he wanted to paint was his freedom. And if you make your own choice and take money from others, although no one will come out to blame this kind of thing. But in the end, it still doesn't fit his philosophy.
Xu Jing nodded secretly, he guessed Meng Shu's choice, in fact, Meng Shu is not a qualified entrepreneur, he adheres to many principles in doing things, and he will fall behind in the fierce market competition...... However, he has the talent to overcome this flaw, so it will not be a problem.
"Alright, that's the end of this matter, everyone eats!"
Xu Jing clapped his hands and called on everyone to stop talking about lunch.
Alice sat with her mother, and despite the excitement at the table, the blonde woman seemed to be reluctant to speak, smiling as she watched the interactions of the crowd - especially Meng and Alice.
At this table, Meng Shu and Alice sat far away, and there was very little dialogue and interaction, even if they observed, they couldn't seem to find anything wrong, but they were still found by the attentive woman.
After lunch, several cars depart from the hotel and head to Manga Island.
"Has your relationship with that kid changed for the better again?" Alice was sitting with her mother, who had drunk a lot of wine and was a little red, and was about to squint in the car, when she was suddenly startled by her mother's words.
"What did you say?"
Alice's amount of alcohol was already good, but after her mother's words, the wine disappeared in an instant.
"I see you're turning dishes for him." The woman stroked her daughter's hair and smiled, knowing that the daughter Mo Ruomu, if she was just guessing before, then now seeing Alice's reaction, she has a number in her heart.
On the table just now, Alice turned the turntable a few times, ostensibly to make it easier for her to choose dishes, but the woman noticed that the dishes were not Alice's favorite dishes, but on the contrary, there were always a few popular dishes that were accidentally transferred to Meng Shu.
Maybe even Meng Shu didn't notice about it, but the woman noticed it.
"Alice has this side too......"
The woman was relieved that she had never thought that her daughter would have such a feminine side, and that Alice, though she had always been very good at taking care of others, had never shown such a detailed care for a man.
She could be a good wife, the woman thought, but at the same time felt sad, the possibility of the two children being together was too small.
In front of them, Xu Jing and Meng Shu sat in another car and began to talk about the matter before lunch again.
"There will be a lot of people coming to you in the future, and of course it's up to you to decide how to reject them, but I have to warn you that you must not turn them all away." Xu Jing reminded Meng Shudao: "There are some things that should be seen, and they must be seen." β
Meng Shu nodded: "I understand." β
Xu Jing's meaning is very simple, there will definitely be some big people who come for the new comics, and these big people can't be turned away, even if they can't agree to their requests, others still have to be politely received when they visit.
"I'm sure you can handle this matter......" Xu Jing looked at Meng Shu and nodded, his expression relaxed: "Then again, are you interested in tea?" β
Meng Shu was stunned, why did he suddenly mention tea?
"I mean that...... cough ......" Xu Jing saw that Meng Shu didn't understand, and coughed a little embarrassed: "Tea ceremony can also be included in the alternative theme of the new comics!" β
Meng Shu suddenly smiled bitterly, and after talking about his feelings for a long time, Xu Jing was also interested in his new comics.
"Can I draw this to help with tea planting?"
He thinks that if others are too mythologizing themselves, how can his new comics be so great.
"Why can't it, even if you can't help tea planting, at least it's okay to advertise to those tea merchants?" Xu Jing turned his mind carefully, he also suddenly thought of it when he was eating just now, since others wanted Meng Huo's new comic so much, why couldn't he use it in the tea ceremony?
If you ask him to draw a caricature of the tea ceremony, no matter what, those tea merchants are indispensable to provide them with tea, right? In order to make He Xi draw cartoons and promote his own products, there will definitely be tea merchants who take the initiative to send ding-grade tea......
Won't Xu Jing be able to get some blessings at that time?
"No, no, this is ridiculous."
Meng Shu said with a smile, Xu Jing's idea is too whimsical, in fact, he can also paint the tea ceremony, but the things he said before do not include this kind of thing, and the words are actually said, and it is not easy to change it now.
He expressed this opinion to Xu Jing, who was a little disappointed, but in the end he did not continue to force it.
"How's the carnival going?" Xu Jing focused on another matter, the carnival on Cartoon Island is still a month away, and this carnival is bigger than last year's carnival, but the preparations have not yet been reported.
"Almost." Meng nodded and said: "The most critical manpower problem has also been solved, we have recruited a lot of summer workers in the university town, and they will start preparing for us after the holiday this month." β
For this carnival, Phoenix Company has been preparing for several months, plus the college students who stayed behind, and the preliminary work was seamless.
"That's good, I'm looking forward to the carnival......"
Xu Jing smiled expectantly.
After arriving at Comic Island, Meng Shu first asked Xu Jing and his wife to rest, the purpose of their visit this time has been achieved, but it is impossible to return to Ninghai immediately, just stay for a day to play on Comic Island.
Alice also left, Meng Shu looked at his phone, although it was not yet work time, he still walked to the office with the secretary.
"Teacher!"
"What a pity for the teacher!"
As soon as he walked into the elevator, Ye Xiong and the editor-in-chief of the girl's editorial department got out of the car behind and hurried over.
"What's wrong?"
Meng Shu saw that the expressions of the two people were a little excited, and he felt strange.
"What a pity teacher, this new work is a shoujo manga or a shonen manga!?"
Ye Xiong asked straightforwardly, after learning that Meng Huo's new comic was so popular at noon, the editors-in-chief of the two editorial departments couldn't sit still, they both wanted to get this new comic, so they quarreled all the way on the road, but the range given by Meng Huo couldn't tell whether it was a teenager or a girl, which whetted their appetite.
"The range is some ball games and board games...... No matter how you look at it, this should be a teenager, right? Ye Xiong thought so, expecting Meng Shu to give an affirmative answer, completely extinguishing the heart of the girl's comic department.
"Hmm...... This one...... I didn't think about it either......" However, unexpectedly, Meng Shu seemed to be entangled in this issue: "I have the idea of shonen comics, and I also have the idea of shouen comics...... Sorry, I can't give you an answer right now. β
The scope of this new comic is actually not large, and Meng refused to answer the reader's orientation, which will make his choices more numerous. The editors-in-chief of the two editorial offices were a little disappointed and relieved when they heard the answer, and they both still had hope. (To be continued......)
