Big Manga

Meng Huo expected "The Legend of Wukong" to be published by an influential company, but he didn't expect that the first person who found him would be Li Ming, the editor-in-chief of Longteng Novels.

"How does he know my family is here?"

Hearing Alice say that the other party had arrived downstairs, Meng Huo was a little surprised: "You leaked my address?"

"No, it's impossible for us to do such a thing." Alice shook her head quickly, and she explained: "Your address must be investigated by themselves."

In fact, it is more convenient to find someone in the same industry than the media. The comic circle says it is big or not. As long as Longteng Company has put their minds to it, it is not surprising to know Meng Huo's true identity. However, Li Ming didn't pay a visit directly, but sent a letter through Alice, which is considered polite.

"Tell him I'm not seeing you."

It's a pity that Meng Huo doesn't like others to investigate him.

"it is good."

Alice nodded, and quickly rejected Li Ming. Strangely, the editor-in-chief of the novel simply left.

"Teacher He Xi is inconvenient, then I will come again next time."

As he said this, he reappeared within two days. This time, Li Ming didn't go through Alice, but "met" Li Qin who came back from grocery shopping early in the morning and sent a lot of gifts.

"I don't see you." Meng Huo refused again. He didn't like Long Teng, so of course it would be better if he could see him.

But within two days, Li Ming came again. He asked Mr. Hua Meng to send a letter, in which Chen Ken expressed his apology and hoped to see Meng Huo again.

When Meng Huo read the letter, it turned out to be handwritten, and the words were very sincere.

"Let him come up." He didn't refuse this time, he came and went endlessly, and Li Ming would not give up if he didn't meet.

Li Ming is a handsome man. His actual age is unknown, but he feels very young.

This man was well-founded and witty, and he praised Meng Huo as soon as he entered the door. It didn't take long before Meng Huo had no influence, but Li Qin was delighted by the words.

"Okay, okay, don't talk about it, my Xiaohuo has been praised to the sky by you..." Li Qin still likes people to praise her son very much in her heart, and she is happy to serve tea and snacks: "Talk slowly, I Don't bother."

After she left, Li Ming stopped complimenting.

"Teacher He Xi, can you entrust us with "The Legend of Wukong" for publication?" His face became straight, and after only a short observation, Li Ming found that Meng Huo was mature. He had been flattering for so long that even Li Qin couldn't stand it, but Meng Huo's expression didn't change.

At the age of sixteen, he has such calmness and composure, somewhat beyond Li Ming's expectations.

Li Ming wanted to win Meng Huo over more and more: "We will provide the greatest publicity for "The Legend of Wukong". What about the 15% royalties? It is the highest in the industry."

The 15% royalties made Meng Huo slightly moved. Longteng Company can really spend money. Even top-notch novelists can hardly enjoy this amount of royalties.

After showing his sincerity, Li Ming waited for Meng Huo to answer. Maybe there was a lot of trouble in the past, but Li Ming felt that Meng Huo was not a narrow-minded person and would not hate Long Teng.

"..."

Meng Huo was also thinking quickly, but after much deliberation, the advantages of getting Long Teng to publish "The Legend of Wukong" outweighed the disadvantages. It is the leader in the publishing of novels in China.

"We can talk." He nodded: "Does Editor-in-Chief Li have time? I have a lot to talk about."

Meng Huo planned to take this opportunity to sort out his relationship with Long Teng.

Li Ming was trying to draw Meng Huo into the novel industry. This young man was too talented to draw cartoons, so he readily agreed, "I have plenty of time."

The two talked for several hours, and Meng Huo handed over the publication of "The Legend of Wukong" to Longteng Company, and the additional request was to give the greatest publicity to "The Story of Wukong" and him, and then not to interfere with his comics by any irregular means. develop.

Meng Huo would welcome any open and honest competition.

Li Ming got the desired result and left the building with a full face of excitement.

"How are things going, Editor-in-Chief Li?"

The person who greeted him downstairs was Wang Zhe, editor-in-chief of the manga. Wang Zhe and others were very anxious and couldn't wait to know the result.

"Successful, Mr. He Xi will give priority to us for his novels in the future." Li Ming replied with a smile, Wang Zhe's face turned pale, and then became rosy again: "So, why does He Xi no longer draw manga? "

"this……"

Li Ming smiled wryly, and shook his head: "He still mainly writes comics, and rarely writes novels."

"Both of us underestimated Teacher He Xi, he has a big heart." Li Ming looked at Wang Zhe and reminded: "Mr. , he does not object to your normal competition."

Wang Zhe was confused: "What do you mean?"

"It means that you don't need to use shady means, but you can safely and boldly compete with Teacher He Xi."

"His vision is far-sighted." Li Ming said with emotion: "Teacher He Xi is not simple. He has expectations for the future of comics. Competition is also good for him."

After talking for several hours, Li Ming did not persuade Meng Huo to write a novel, but was persuaded by Meng Huo instead.

Meng Huo said that he didn't write novels because the market for novels was already prosperous enough, and there was no big difference between him and him. He draws comics because he believes that comics can become as brilliant as novels, and he wants to witness and lead this process.

This idea overturned all Li Ming's views. Meng Huo is a young man with dreams. He mentioned animation, music, games, various peripheral industries, etc. Li Ming never thought that so many things could be created with comics as the core, and comics definitely have the potential to go side by side with novels.

Longteng Company focuses on novels, and its comic department exists for novels, and it can never put the cart before the horse. So relying on them, the development of comics will be very slow.

But Phoenix Company doesn't want to get involved in novels, so it can't pose a threat to Long Teng. It would be even better if it can develop the comics market.

The prosperity of comics is also a good thing for Longteng Company. Novels and comics are highly interdependent. With a larger market and more readers, the two companies are fully able to cooperate and make money together.

Of course, these are the futures that Meng Huo described, whether they can be realized or not is still unknown.

Li Ming was very satisfied with "The Legend of Wukong". If the cartoon industry could not develop as Meng Huo expected, he believed that Meng Huo would change his mind sooner or later.

"Let's go, let's go back."

Li Ming glanced at Wang Zhe, if Wang Zhe was smart enough, he would know what to do in the future.

A huge market has been opened up, which is a good thing for everyone in it. Longteng Company dominates the novel world, but other companies are also enjoying life.

Culture is not afraid of competition, it is afraid of no market.

only……

Li Ming thought that Meng Huo was just a cartoonist, and this identity was definitely not enough for him to open up the market.
