Chapter 59 Prohibited publication

"One foot is 33.3 centimeters, so a flat foot is about 1108.9 square centimeters. The size of the original paper of the comic is 20 centimeters multiplied by 26 centimeters, which is equal to 520 square centimeters, that is, a little more than half a square foot. As for the remuneration for each of my comics... Now my remuneration for each copy of animation teenagers is 100 yuan, which is slightly higher in Japan than in China.

Meng Zhe didn't say that the remuneration of the Japanese manuscript was going to increase the price to 4,000 yuan per sheet, nor did he say that he had rolled back millions in the Japanese manuscript, but gently brought it with the word slightly higher.

"A flat foot, so likely to be so big?" Liu Kang's father shouted in surprise, but then he said, "Even so, it doesn't work! Can you get a reward of 100 yuan per piece to guarantee that my son can get the same price?!"

"Oh, Dad, don't say such stupid things! Mr. Jiji is on the other side of the Japanese book. It's just the copyright of the animation adaptation of the comic, and he took more than 20 million yuan! How can I get the same price as Mr. Jiji?! Dad, let's go outside and say it's okay. Don't be embarrassed in front of Mr. Jiji..."

After listening to his father's stupid question, the bald Liu Kang's shameful bald head turned red. As he said this, he tried his best to drag his father out of the door of the small studio.

"Two or twenty million?!" Liu Kang's father's eyes widened. He stared at Meng Zhe incredulously and continued, "It's a lie!"

Although his attitude is still a little bad, from the quietly changing tone, Meng Zhe has noticed the change of Liu Kang's father's attitude, so he nodded with a smile to prove that Liu Kang was not a lie. Then he continued: "Uncle Liu, I can understand your expectations of Liu Kang. Chinese painting is also worth investing in. Entering a lifelong career, but have you ever thought about how many Zhang Daqian we have made in China in the past few decades? How many Xu Beihong are there?

"Ah? This... Zhang Daqian and Xu Beihong, those are the top painters, of course, the number is scarce. Liu Kang's father opened his mouth. How did he know about this problem?

"Well, Uncle Liu, you are right to say that. But there are so many people who learn traditional Chinese painting, and only a few people can get fame and wealth in the end, right?

Meng Zhe nodded and gave a positive answer to Liu Kang's father's answer, but then he continued to ask questions.

"This... seems to be true."

Liu Kang's father has been suppressed by Meng Zhe's income. In fact, he is not sure that 20 million yuan is actually only equivalent to about 1.6 million yuan, but even if it is only 1.6 million yuan, it is enough to control him - how old is this Meng Zhe now?

If you can make so much money now, how about it when you grow up in the future?! It seems that this new cartoon is indeed more effective than traditional Chinese painting... "The new comic industry is different." Meng Zhe has no ability to read his mind, so he can only continue to tell the truth: "Uncle Liu, the new comics are an industry that has just begun to rise in our country. Now it can be called a cartoonist. In addition to me, there are only Yao Feila, Chen Xiang, Jiang Ling, Hu Xirong, Zheng Xusheng and Jin Hong of our Tianjiao Club. Ah Heng, there are only a few people in the Yankai District of the painting king. Uncle Liu, a cartoonist who is engaged in the new comic industry, has dozens of famous cartoonists, and there are more second- and third-tier cartoonists with a slightly lower reputation.

After saying almost, Meng Zhe thought about it and added another sentence: "What about me, in terms of income, it is actually only equivalent to the second-line cartoonist on the other side of Japan."

After listening to Meng Zhe's words, Liu Kang's father, who was originally aggressive, was completely hoarse. He hummed for a long time and finally said, "That old... My son turned to draw this new cartoon. Can he really do it?"

"I can't guarantee whether it will work." Meng Zhe shook his head, and then he added: "However, I think as long as Liu Kang continues to maintain his current level of hard work, even if he can't be an excellent serial cartoonist with his talent and surname, he can become an excellent and characteristic illustrator. He will not earn less money than I am now."

"Son of a bitch! Go out and talk to me. Don't disturb the teachers' painting here!"

After listening to Meng Zhe's words, Liu Kang's father happily dragged Liu Kang out of the small studio. Before going out, he did not forget to say to Meng Zhe repeatedly, "Teacher, you are busy! You are busy!"

"This uncle is so annoying and doesn't like him!"

After Liu Kang's father pulled Liu Kang out of the door, Jiang Xiyao whispered to Meng Zhe. The little girl frowned and looked unhappy.

"Ha ha, stupid Meier, there has never been a shortage of such people in this world, so people summarize this as a saying - birds are big, and there are all kinds of forests!"

Meng Zhe turned his head and looked at Jiang Xiyao, and then said with a smile.

"The bird is big, and there are all kinds of forests... Huh? Meng Jiji, did you say something wrong? Why do people think that the saying you said is very awkward?

Jiang Xiyao blinked her beautiful big eyes and looked very confused.

"...Meier, don't listen to Meng Zhe's nonsense. It's right that the forest is big and there are all kinds of birds!"

Jiang Weiying, who was listening, sneered. She reached out and dragged her confused sister back to her side. When she spoke, she didn't forget to throw a white look at Meng Zhe - really, Meng Zhe, don't always take my sister bad.

... Although Liu Kang's father came aggressively, he not only did not take Liu Kang away in the end, but also apologized to Meng Zhe, who was scolded by him, and then quietly took the long-distance bus away.

Because of this matter, Liu Kang also became very embarrassed in front of Meng Zhe. Meng Zhe had to talk to Liu Kang clearly and said that he didn't care, and then Liu Kang finally returned to his normal state.

The production of the comic version of EVA continues. This time, Meng Zhe is only responsible for setting the characters and storyline. The painting work is cooperated by Kishimoto Qishi and Oda Eiichiro. Jiang Weiyu, Jiang Xiyao and Liu Kang took over the work of assistants - not only EVA's assistant, but also Light Voice Girl and Chess Soul. The assistant.

Because of the large number of people, Meng Zhe moved the studio to a large room on the other side of his 'Jiji Animation Studio'.

"Meng Jun, you are so crazy. You make three serial comics at the same time. Are you sure you can really think so much at the same time..."

Ken Obata was so worried. After Meng Zhe said that there was no problem, he shook his head and volunteered to guide Kishimoto and Eiichiro Oda. In the opinion of Ken Obata, Kishimoto and Oda's painting skills are not good now, and even the unscated man He Yue can't catch up with him.

In a word, although the people who work together occasionally have disputes or something, the relationship with each other is getting more and more harmonious, and the production speed of the manuscript is also faster.

Kong Lan, who is guided by public opinion in Yanjing, basically calls Meng Zhe once a day to communicate with each other about the two sides of the matter - with Kong Lan's efforts, many famous publications have published articles related to new comics, and Meng Zhe's name and the name of "Anime Boy" are constantly mentioned.

Kong Lan modified part of Meng Zhe's ideas. She artificially divided the now popular new comics into domestic new comic magazines with "Anime Boy" and Meng Zhe as the banner, promoting national essence, science fiction, and red ideas; and those who are full of the whole market, and most of them are promoting bad ideas- Although the foreign comic magazine does not mention the name of the painting king, the 'largest new comic pirated publication in China' refers to who can be seen at a glance.

Meng Zhe can't say anything about Kong Lan's propaganda. Kong Lan is now doing comics as an industry. What's wrong with biting hard when she can hit the main enemy? After all, it's the painting king. They are not clean under their buttocks, aren't they?

With the continuous guidance of public opinion, the effect has gradually been seen from readers' letters. Some parents have changed their original negative views on animation teenagers, which is obviously a good thing to be happy about.

And the good thing is not only the guidance of public opinion to take effect. The first print number of 50,000 copies of Chess Soul and Light Voice Girl have all been sold out, and a large number of unpurchased fans have sent a large number of letters, requesting to be reprinted.

There are also 'Chinese Little Home' instant noodles that are also out of stock. Because of the gift of the Three Kingdoms character card in "Stupid Guardian of the Three Kingdoms", the three shifts in the factory can't meet the sales. Every day before dawn, many sellers will drive at the door of the factory and compete for the new factory. Goods.

However, it is not possible to follow Meng Zhe's wishes. While good things continue to happen, there are also bad things happening - Jin Hong's side euphemistically rejected the proposal to relocate the studio to Tianjiao Society and jointly produce EVA together.

Although Meng Zhe didn't think that Jin Hong would refuse, he was still a little bored after it really happened.

The second bad thing is that "Anime Boy" is a formal publication, so when he submitted the EVA copy to the relevant departments for review according to the requirements, he got an unexpected reply: "There are too much content involved, there is a promotion of fatalism, and the end theory. Tendency... According to the relevant laws of the country, publication is prohibited.

Meng Zhe didn't know, because he was already a well-known figure with 'domestic and international influence', and some high-level central figures' attention to the new animation caused by the public opinion guidance carried out by Kong Lan, so all the new comics made by Meng Zhe were registered in the relevant departments and enjoyed a higher level. The review.

"Prohibit publication? How can it be banned from publication?!"
