Big Manga

Chapter 41: Betting

"Animate yourself?"

Alice brought Meng Huo to the company to ask about the animation, but Xu Jing, the chairman, refused: "Mr. He Xi, what you said is very simple, but we don't have an animation department."

He was making tea, poured out the tea with his own hands, and then poured hot water into the teapot. After several procedures, he was done.

"Dongting Biluochun, Mr. He Xi, try it..." Xu Jing put the fragrant tea in front of Meng Huo, and said with a smile: "As for the animation production, forget it, the company will not enter the animation industry within five years."

Phoenix Company is a publishing company, and it is a single publishing company with comics as its core. They do not have enough capital and technology to get involved in animation, and it is very dangerous to easily set foot in an industry.

Meng Huo picked up the teacup and took a sip. He could find that this cup of tea was the same as the tea used by Alice, but the taste was much better. Sure enough, Jiang was still old and hot. After all, his daughter was no match for his father. Meng Huo glanced at Alice who was standing beside him. The latter frowned slightly, as if he knew what he was thinking.

"Then, Chairman."

Meng Huo wants to seek the initiative to produce animation, but he does not necessarily have to do it himself: "Do you have an animation production company you are familiar with?"

"No."

Xu Jing shook his head, he was holding the teacup, a gleam flashed in his eyes: "But Mr. He Xi, if you really want to make animations, I have a proposal."

"What proposal?"

Meng Huo's eyes lit up.

"The development of the company is decided by the shareholders. As long as you convince the shareholders, you can enter the animation industry, but..." Xu Jing said with a smile: "80% of the company's shares belong to me, as long as I don't agree, you have nothing to do."

Then what a fart!

Meng Huo almost spit out what was in his heart, Xu Jing seemed to understand his thoughts, and said calmly: "So I want to make a bet with you, as long as you win, the company will add an animation production department. But If you lose, you have to agree to do something for me."

"What's up?"

"I haven't considered it yet." Xu Jing said with a smile: "But I won't embarrass you, I won't force you, and it's not something that hurts nature."

Meng Huo was moved: "What is the content of the bet?"

"Within half a year, your royalties will exceed 100 million Huaxia coins." Xu Jing stretched out a finger: "You can also use the royalties to buy the company's shares, plus the previous 5%, a total of 25% of the shares, but it cannot be compared with money. Taken together, you can only choose one criterion.”

Either the royalties of 100 million Huaxia coins or 25% of Phoenix Company's shares, this requirement is very strict in anyone's eyes. The market for the first booklet of Meng Huo's "Detective Conan" has become saturated, and the royalties are more than 20 million yuan. At most, three books can be released in half a year. To reach the standard of 100 million Huaxia coins, the average royalties for each booklet must be surpassed now. It is more than 33 million!

"Can I draw two comics?"

Meng Huo asked, and Xu Jing began to think. In fact, his purpose was to dig into Meng Huo's talent. If the author can get a royalty of 100 million Huaxia coins, then the money made by Phoenix Company will be amazing.

"Yes, but the second manga must be serialized in "Weekly Girls."

Xu Jing nodded and agreed. In fact, it is almost the same where you can make money, but Xu Jing hopes that the development of the company's departments can be more balanced. Meng Huo's painting style is very suitable for girls' comics, and it will definitely increase the sales of "Weekly Girls".

However, this sentence made Meng Huo a little nervous, girl manga? He hadn't read any shoujo manga in his previous life, so even if he had a photographic memory, he couldn't figure it out out of thin air.

"……All right."

But after thinking for a long time, he still agreed. Although there are no girl manga, there are many neutral juvenile manga. For example, "Detective Conan" is a typical juvenile manga, isn't it also read by a large number of female readers?

So the bet was established, and the animation production of "Pokemon" had to be postponed.

Meng Huo felt a little regretful, but he was confident that he would win the bet, and that he would be able to produce the animation by himself, and the copyright would not need to be handed over to others. You must know that any copyright of this animation would have amazing benefits.

After completing some details, Meng Huo was about to leave. Xu Jing also looked very satisfied, but just as he was about to send Meng Huo away, Alice suddenly coughed heavily.

"What's wrong?"

Meng Huo turned his head to look strangely, and Alice looked away in embarrassment.

"She's fine." Xu Jing smiled wryly, "Can I add another request to this bet?"

Meng Huo understood that the two were exchanging signs just now!

"Teacher He Xi, during the half-year period of the bet, I hope you can follow Alice's teaching arrangement." Xu Jing didn't pause, he said: "She prepares courses for you, but she won't restrict your daily life."

Alice and Meng Huo have been getting along for a while. Meng Huo is very proactive in doing things, and Alice is always out of control. Even the usual study, as long as Meng Huo didn't want to learn, Alice couldn't restrain him at all.

This made Alice feel like a failure. She hoped to guide Meng Huo better, so she asked Xu Jing to speak for her.

"I definitely didn't mean to force you." After Xu Jing finished speaking, Alice added: "If you don't want to learn anything, you don't need to learn, but you should listen to the opinions of me and Sister Qin more often, and don't just focus on it all day long. comics."

Meng Huo was taken aback. Did he give Alice such a feeling? He looked back and thought that he was indeed a bit self-willed, the days ahead were still long, if it wasn't for forced study, it would be too much to refuse Alice's kindness.

"no problem."

So Meng Huo agreed to this condition.

After returning home, Meng Huo posted the news of "Pokemon" on the official website. He did not give up the animation. Since CCTV thought it was worthless, He Xi made the animation by himself six months later.

This news is to appease the excited fans, Meng Huo is very confident in the bet.

Of course, this passage was ridiculed by many media, saying that He Xi backed down, but it really is Jiang Lang's talent. Meng Huo was too lazy to quarrel with them, but he found that the cartoonist Xifeng jumped up and down on the Internet and was very unhappy, so he kindly reminded him anonymously to maintain his image as a cartoonist.

But I don’t know if it’s because the cartoonists who adapted the novels have a mentality problem or something, Xifeng not only didn’t accept frugality, but boasted that if “Pokemon” is successfully animated in half a year, and it will surpass the ratings of “Tom and Jerry Couple” , he eats SHI live.

Many people lose their IQ as soon as they speak online. Of course, this is just Xifeng's casual remark, and most people forget it after reading it. As a kind person, Meng Huo just left a screenshot of this passage.

He didn't mind repaying Longteng's company for taking care of him so much. But it's impolite for the payback cycle to be too long. Didn't Longteng Company say that he was exhausted? The sales volume of this company's shojo comics is also very good, and it is completely comparable in this respect.

But before that, the day came for him to meet his fans.
