Big Manga

"Jingle Bell……"

　　 The fierce ringing awakened Meng Huo from the bed. He picked up the phone with sleepiness and connected in a daze: "Alice, what's the matter?"

　　 "Who is Alice!"

　　 There was a crisp young girl's voice on the other side, and Meng Huo reacted: "Shen Jie, it's you, why are you calling me?"

　　 He checked the time. It was only seven o'clock in the morning. It was too early. The school hadn't started class yet. How could Shen Jie call him early in the morning?

　　 "Meng Huo, have you been online? What a shame, he has published a new novel online, super classic, he is so talented, you don't want to see it early, don't miss it!" Shen Jie said excitedly.

"Oh."

　　 Meng Huo muttered feebly: "I know, I'm going to continue sleeping."

　　 "Hey, wait, I have one more thing!" Shen Jie hurriedly stopped: "Next week is a holiday, can you accompany me to a place on November 22?"

"it is good."

　　 Meng Hao yawned and agreed.

　　 "That's great, I will inform you of the specific things before then, so be prepared."

　　 Shen Jie happily hung up the phone.

　　 Meng Huo became sober all of a sudden, ready, still need to prepare? Could it be that Shen Jie wants him to do something? He actually agreed without asking, making a mistake.

　　 He sighed and couldn't sleep anymore, so he got up and went out to wash. Li Qin left the house very early, and soon came back with vegetables and started breakfast.

　　 During breakfast, a piece of news flashed on the TV.

"Yesterday, the famous cartoonist He Xi publicly published the novel "Wukong Biography" on the Internet, with more than a million hits in half a day. Some people said that this was a response to the princess Qin Ya's launch of the girl manga. This station has an exclusive interview with Qin Ya to see how she evaluates this This novel."

"Hello everyone, this is Qin Ya. I read "The Story of Wukong", which is a very good novel. I didn't expect He Xi to be as good at two skills as me. I admit that I underestimated him. I hope He Xi can continue to work hard. , Get promoted to first-class novelist early."

　　 "Ms. Qin Ya is already a first-rate novelist. Of course, the above are all personal views of the reporter and do not represent the views of this station."

　　Meng Huo stopped at the dining table. It was not that he was afraid of Qin Ya, but that Li Qin had always opposed him for being too eye-catching and didn't know how he would react at this time.

　　 "You have done such a big thing again." Li Qin ate the noodles without changing the color, very calmly: "Don't be nervous, I knew it last night, I won't be surprised now."

"Yes."

　　 Meng Huo wiped his sweat.

　　 "However, I have to say something."

　　 Li Qin put down the dishes, his face suddenly turned cold, and his eyes stared at Meng Huo: "If you do something all night for ten hours later, don't blame your mother for being angry."

　　 She is already angry.

　　 Meng Huo quickly apologized, but he didn't dare to go against the mother who pulled him up and grew up.

　　 After breakfast, the tomatoes came.

　　 "Teacher He Xi, I'm here for work!" When Tomato entered the door, his expression was unusually excited: "Teacher He Xi, after the publication of "The Story of Wukong", you must sign for me. That novel is so good!"

　　 Meng Huo nodded cheerfully: "Let’s talk about it after publication."

　　 He was a little worried about whether it would be published smoothly. Alice came home last night and told him that Phoenix Company would not publish "The Story of Wukong."

　　 This surprised Meng Huo. He didn't publish if he had money. What is this for fun? However, Alice's explanation is also very clear. Phoenix is ​​a professional comic publishing company. There is no need to get involved in novels for a while, and they do not intend to compete with Longteng in the novel market.

　　 The novel market is even more cruel, and doing a good job in comics is very good.

In fact, just publishing a novel is not a very troublesome job for Phoenix. The main problem is that what Meng Huo wants is not ordinary publishing. He wants to use "The Story of Wukong" to increase his influence. The company must spend a lot of money in advertising. , Otherwise there is not much effect.

　　 Phoenix Company believes that there are too many variables inside. If the advertisement is too large, it will even mislead the company's external image, attracting vigilant hostility from many novel groups. If this is the case, it is better to hand over the copyright of "Wukong Biography" as a show of sincerity.

　　 Meng Huo was a little disappointed with this decision, but at the same time he admired Phoenix's decision.

Xu Jing, who is leading the development of Phoenix, is a cautious person who can stand up to sex. He knows that "The Story of Wukong" will create great economic benefits, but he gives up in order not to enter the novel market. This behavior is not easy to say before. The idea of ​​getting involved in animation is the same.

　　 Xu Jing is very careful every step of the way. Phoenix has his leadership. Let alone the future development, at least the possibility of accidents is very small.

　　 But in this way, Meng Huo had to negotiate with other publishers. He wrote "The Story of Wukong" completely for no money. Money is of secondary importance. What is important is the influence that "The Story of Wukong" can bring. This novel will draw more people to know him and become interested in his comics.

　　 How far is the gap between Huaxia's novels and the comics market? Meng Huo can understand more and more through investigations.

A very simple example can be used to illustrate: CCTV Culture Channel will report the news of the novel industry almost every day and introduce the newly published excellent novels, which is equivalent to all-weather sales advertisements~www.NovelMTL.com~It is conceivable that the novel industry is in China. status.

　　 And comics have not been separately listed on CCTV so far. As a new and fast-growing industry, only a few local TV stations have opened comic programs, and all of them are based on novels and comics.

　　In this world where intellectual copyright is strictly protected, comics are still a niche, but novels have become popular culture comparable to TV and movies...

　　 He Xi's "Wukong Biography" will enter the mainstream media within a few days. It is not that it is much better than comics, but that the novel itself has a promotion advantage.

　　 If he can find a powerful publishing company, he does not need to worry about the promotion and advertising. Under this promotion, it will inevitably lead more readers to read the comics.

　　 Qin Ya proved this point. The novelist launched comics, and the sales were booming. In addition to some readers who were originally comics, there are also many people who buy comics for Qin Ya. They usually have the habit of buying books. There is no pressure for people to buy a comic...

　　 "But who should I give the publishing rights..."

　　 Meng Huo thought about this question. In the morning, Teacher Tomato suddenly asked a question between work.

　　 "Teacher He Xi, you won't leave the comics world, will you?"

　　 This sentence was asked by Tomato after thinking about it for a long time. Now people have seen He Xi's novel talents, and many people are wondering if he will leave the comics industry.

　　 "No."

　　 Meng Huo smiled slightly: "The comic industry in the future will definitely not lag behind the novel industry. Why should I leave?"
