Chapter 114 BOSS You are a good person!

Unconsciously, the second Lunar New Year after Meng Zhe's rebirth came.

Although Tianjiao Club has taken annual leave as usual practice, unlike last year, not all people have gone home. Some of the guys who are full and the whole family are not hungry, and some of the guys who work much harder than others, stay in Tianjiao Club to continue their respective work.

Among the people left behind, the most eye-catching one is probably Zheng Xusheng, because Zheng Xusheng's serial comic "Robots Don't Cry" has been ordered to cut the waist, and the serialization must be finished in late March, and then make room for Yan Kai's serial "Converting into a Sword Fairy".

Before Zheng Xusheng, "Anime Youth" had cut off "Lao Fuzi" according to the reader's voting situation, but after all, the author of "Lao Fuzi" was not in front of everyone but far away in Hong Kong, so when the waist cut order was issued, all the cartoonists in Tianjiao Club could not help but give birth to the feeling of rabbit death fox sad things. I feel.

From the bottom of my heart, Zheng Xusheng's current painting "Robots Don't Cry" has been greatly improved compared with his previous works, not to mention that two books with a total sales of more than 50,000 copies have been released.

However, with the continuation of the serialization, Zheng Xusheng, the original work, has more and more differences with the female novelist in the original work. These differences are not only about the work itself, but also about the distribution of income - if the purpose and motivation of the cooperation between the two at the beginning are pure, then in this era, it can be called Due to the emergence of the economic benefits of 'a lot of money', the cooperation between the two has a contradiction due to the distribution of benefits.

Speaking of which, in fact, there must be a surname for this kind of bullshit, because there was only a verbal agreement between the two at the beginning and no written contract. After all, the remuneration of this comic serialization and the income of the single book have added up to more than 80,000 yuan, not everyone can be indifferent to this money?

Therefore, the female cartoonist proposed to Zheng Xusheng that the proportion of benefit distribution should be modified from half of the original person to take two-thirds for her, on the grounds that the original author of the story was her and Zheng Xusheng was just a painter.

Although the editor of Tianjiao Society also tried to mediate this matter, the final result was still that it was still unremitting, and Zheng Xusheng, who affected his creative mood, naturally dropped the level of the new comics.

How can readers who have been raised by the high level of "Anime Boy" accept these reluctant works? Therefore, readers responded to Zheng Xusheng's reluctant works by voting through their favorite works - after the short comics were transferred to "Anime Time", the original ranking of "Robots Don't Cry" has been relatively low, and it has won three issues in a row by the last issue before the Lunar New Year. The penultimate one.

So Meng Zhe made a final decision - in view of this poor achievement, according to the magazine's waistline "Robot Don't Cry" and terminate the contract with the original author of the comic.

This decision is on the surface, and there is also a decision that has not been put on the desktop. It is all the magazines and publications of Tianjiao Society. In the future, it is absolutely not allowed to accept any type of contributions from the original author of Robots Don't Cry.

In other words, Meng Zhe added the other party to the blacklist of Tianjiao Club - blocking.

Although it is said that people have been blocked, the comics can't stop serialization directly like this. Even if it is a tiger's head and snake's tail, it must have a tail, right? Therefore, Zheng Xusheng must also condense the remaining stories into three episodes and serialize them until the early March issue according to the original manuscript of the novel.

According to the new system just established in 1995 as an animation teenager, a serialization meeting will be held every quarter, that is, three months. At the serialization meeting, it is determined which serial comics need to be cut in half and which new serializations can be serialized.

It's good to do this - when the unpopular old comics are cut in half and make room for the new comics, the comics that can be used so that readers who buy new comics in the bookstore will not be published in the magazine are all cases such as XXX Episode 195, yyy Chapter 288 and so on, and then to the magazine Looking away from it.

There are not many people who like to watch stories with no beginning and no end, don't they?

It's different with the continuous emergence of new serials. These new serials will stimulate the desire of new readers to buy, and readers who buy comic magazines can't only read new serials, so even 195 episodes of XXX can only grit their teeth and watch them, right?

Then, because you are attracted by the story with no beginning and no end, it is very likely that it will happen to spend money to buy a bound book of a comic magazine or a comic book.

And the time and place of Meng Zhe's speech is on the first serial meeting after the opening of the new system.

After I was shocked to hear that "Robots Don't Cry", which earned a lot of money for myself, must be finished within three issues. The original female author, who was obsessed with money, finally remembered and regretted it, but how could Meng Zhe, who had made a decision, give the other party a chance to regret?

"Sooner or later, people will have to pay the same or more tragic price for their mistakes, and you... are no exception."

Meng Zhe, who was unmoved, said such a sentence to the earnest plea and expressed his willingness to accept the editor-in-chief of Zheng Xusheng entrusted by Meng Zhe before.

Meng Zhe is the boss of Tianjiao Society, so he must do this kind of thing to maintain the dignity of Tianjiao Society. If this matter is dealt with mud, what if someone will learn from it in the future?

The buttocks determine the head. How can Meng Zhe be free from vulgarity?

In this way, in the first quarter of 1995, "Anime Boy" confirmed that it was Zheng Xusheng's "Robots Don't Cry", but there were two new serials to start.

In late February, Yan Kai's "In Transforming a Sword Fairy" began to be serialized. In late March, there will be a comic called "Dragon Man" to be serialized. This serialized cartoon is born from "Dragon Species" which is the second place in the short story competition run by the first issue of "Anime Time".

Whether it is the short story "Dragon Seed" or the long story "Dragon Man", it is a story of superhero mode.

Speaking of superheroes, we can't help but mention Uncle Sam's America, because the Yankees first created the concept of superheroes. In 1938, a comic magazine called Action Comics showed for the first time that Superman with red boots held a car high. The image of the top. By 1940, the monthly sales of this comic series reached one million copies, and the era of superheroes kicked off.

In 1956, DC Comics, which published the first Superman story, launched Batman, Wonder Woman, Green Lantern... and other superhero images to meet the needs of the public. In the 1960s, Marvel Comics, which broke away from DC, was created as Fantastic Four, Hulk and Avengers... Ah, it seems that the concept of superheroes has not been explained for a long time?

Well, the so-called superheroes are condensed, which refers to some people who are active in the city and have power or kung fu or high-tech equipment. The only value they exist is to replace the police uncles who always appear after the end of the crime to save their lives in deep trouble. Speaking of the American people... Speaking of superheroes and so on, there are also projections on the Chinese website of the starting point that Meng Zhe liked before his rebirth. These projections are basically summarized in the category of 'Urban Power'.

However, after having the power, the urban powers that are different from the superheroes in the United States have the power, the first thought is not to save the Chinese people, but to use these powers to report revenge, pretend to pick up girls and make a fortune... Of course, this is actually understandable, because trying to write superheroes. The starting point writers of the mode urban power novel are all in the street without exception. As for the reason, the readers who brought themselves into the protagonist of the novel are, after all Chinese, and the personal defense of Confucian culture is 'righteousness, self-cultivation, family unification, governance, and peace of the world'.

So, "Dragon Seed" has been inherited by the power of the real dragon, so it can be transformed into a 'dragon warrior' to support justice. It is a little beyond Meng Zhe's expectation that it can win the love of readers.

But unexpectedly, since the reader's response is so long, this kind of thing of course is naturally done.

Even Meng Zhe has been considering whether to go to the Copyright Bureau to apply for the personal portrait copyright for the 'Dragon Man' created by Zhang Cheng. The superheroes created by DC and Marvel have been applied for this kind of copyright... Of course, to apply for the copyright of comic characters or something, Meng Zhe has to buy the copyright from Zhang Cheng, who created the superhero 'Dragon Man'.

Litically, the original author of this short story "Dragon Seed" and "Dragon Man" who is about to be long, returned to China to study traditional Chinese painting in the name of international students, but he had already given up his studies and several students from the Academy of Fine Arts, and slipped to the American Chinese Zhang Chengtong's shoes of Tianjiao Club.

Probably because he has been an assistant for a long time, Zhang Cheng's American comic-style superhero comic "Dragon Seed". The characters are no longer as hard as orthodox American comics. Both decent characters and villains are designed to be more beautiful, and the female characters do not have freckles and pricklyps on their faces. .

After obtaining the serial qualification, Zhang Cheng, who grew up in the United States, had a Western-style surname that was not modest and restrained. This man began to brazenly pursue a soft girl in the name of serial cartoonist.

Although there is nothing wrong with clearly conveying love and pursuing to the person you like, Zhang Cheng talks about what a superhero is when he pursues a girl, which makes Meng Zhe can't help but want to cover his face - hey, when chasing girls, you What superheroes are you talking about?

It's good to send a bunch of roses! If you think roses are tacky, you can send a bunch of dog tail flowers to be funny!

So, Meng Zhe, who finally couldn't stand it, decided to let Zhang Cheng understand that he was destined to have no way out when he talked about superheroes in front of his sister.

Meng Zhe's method was to call Zhang Cheng to his editor-in-chief's office on the pretext of reviewing whether Zhang's long-length cartoons were qualified.

After reading the original manuscript of the first three episodes of Zhang Cheng, Meng Zhe held his chin with his hands and asked, "Zhang Cheng, what do you understand the superheroes look like?"

Zhang Cheng didn't even think about it and said the superhero he knew: "There is extraordinary power or far beyond normal scientific and technological equipment! Have a strong sense of justice that others don't have! There is a set of signature equipment that anyone can blurt out their names when they see it!"

After listening to Zhang Cheng's words, Meng Zhe nodded in agreement, but before Zhang Cheng smiled proudly, Meng Zhe said, "Sixties, I partially understand the meaning of superheroes."

"Ah?!" Zhang Cheng's proud smile turned into stunned, and then he blurted out, "BOSS, are you talking nonsense? This is obviously all the characteristics of superheroes. You must have read too many DC and amazing comics, so you have this kind of obvious idea..."

Meng Zhe smiled and then said, "In addition to the points you said, superheroes also have the characteristics of - first, refuse to kill their opponents. But in the 1970s, there were some examples of exceptions, such as Wolverine and the Punisher; second, a special motivation to fight against evil because of their own misfortune; third, some have a weapon with a surname. Such as the shield of Captain America and the whip of Wonder Girl; fourth, a close supporter, or a friend at work or a lover in life; fifth, there is a specific organization or demon to fight with it; sixth, most of them have careers in real life. Or a millionaire like Batman, or an ordinary journalist and photographer like Spider-Man; seventh, a secret headquarters or base. Like Batman's Bat Cave and Professor X's mutant school; the eighth has a story about the origin of superheroes or his origins. Or tell how he obtained superpowers or introduce the tragic story behind him and his relationship with evil forces..."

Under the narration of Meng Zhe like a treasure, I originally thought that looking at the whole Tianjiao Society and even the whole Chinese comic industry, no one knows what a superhero Zhangcheng is more than himself. The bigger his mouth grows, the bigger it is - worship! Too much worship!

Gigi BOSS is simply a god! He even knows so much about American comics!

After telling the characteristics of superheroes, Meng Zhe smiled and looked at Zhan Cheng, who had shown an expression of worship for him. He asked such a sentence: "Young man, don't you know how to chase the girl so that the girl can give up on you?"

"I want to!"

Zhang Cheng nodded like a chicken eating rice.

"It's very simple. You need to prove that you have the charming talent of superheroes and that you are a good man who can reassure her to entrust herself to you. This is enough for the new comic series you are about to start. Then, you need to make her feel that she is the second and the first in your heart, so you can't talk about work in front of your sister without praising her..."

As soon as Meng Zhe's words came to this point, Zhang Cheng's child had already shown a tearful expression of gratitude.

"Ah, I said, Xiaoyue, why does she always ignore me! BOSS, you are a good person! Thank you--"
