Chapter 149 A hundred years of loneliness and the heart of a girl

After telling editor Sun, Meng Zhe first smiled at the Jiang sisters apologetically. When Jiang Wei, as a sister, said that he should go to receive the people from Mango Channel first, Meng Zhe went to Kong Lan and Jiang Ling and Hu Xirong, the original painting of Princess Princess Huanzhu.

It is necessary to find Kong Lan. On the one hand, Kong Lan is the president of Tianjiao Society, who is responsible for foreign affairs. On the other hand, Meng Zhe, who is not talented at all. Let him talk about it by himself, he can only keep the reserve price. Only Kong Lan can get the greatest benefit.

Jiang Ling and Hu Qianrong, who were looking for the original painting, were out of respect for them. Although the original work of this cartoon was actually Meng Zhe himself, it was Jiang and Hu who painstakingly drew the cartoon, so Meng Zhe felt it necessary to communicate this matter to the two.

Naturally, after Meng Zhe told Jiang and Hu that the comic "Princess of Pearl" might be adapted into a TV series and brought to the screen, the two of them were almost surprised - not to mention how much copyright fees can get for the adapted script, but the first Chinese cartoon that was adapted into a TV series. It will be very face-to-face when you say it in the future!

Therefore, Jiang Hu and Jiang Hu can't wait to run to reach an agreement with the people of Mango Channel immediately, even if the other party gives less copyright fees!

Meng Zhe can actually understand this kind of mood. For example, in later generations, the bearded Zhang Jizhong shot the CCTV version of "Sing the Eagle" and so on. The original author, Jin Daxia, Cha Liangyong, only symbolizes the authorization fee of the surname and only took one yuan... This does not mean that Jin Daxia's old man's character has been so noble that he regards money. The degree of manure.

To be honest, Meng Zhe's mood between Jiang and Hu is understandable, but he can't let them learn from Jin Daxia, which is almost equivalent to the free transfer of copyright. Even Meng Zhe hopes to sell the copyright at a sky-high price.

The reason is actually very simple, because it has come to the era of market economy, so the more profitable things are, the more people will participate. If the copyright of the live-action TV series adaptation of "Princess of Pearl" can be sold at a high price, then more people will be willing to pay attention to animation production after the news spreads. The industry.

The reason for this is that he devoted himself to the production of animated movies with Meng Zhe, and did not hesitate to rack his brains to create all kinds of gimmicks to hype the rabbit. The purpose is nothing more than Meng Zhe's hope to make the market bigger, and then he doesn't have to worry about the rest of his life.

In a word, Meng Zhe's real purpose is nothing more than to bring the selfishness of making a fortune into a bigger and stronger domestic animation environment.

Therefore, Meng Zhe did not directly take Jiang and Hu to meet the people from Mango TV, but told two very high-sounding and philosophical stories with the excited Jiang and Hu - "... During the Spring and Autumn Period, there was a law in the State of Lu. The people of Lu became slaves abroad, and some people could redeem them. Reimbursement of ransom in the treasury. Once, Confucius' disciple Zigong (Duan Muci) redeemed a man from Lu abroad and refused to accept the state compensation after returning to China... Guess what Confucius said after hearing about this?

When he said this, Meng Zhe deliberately stopped his words and seemed to look at the excited Jiang and Hu.

"Ah? Confucius will definitely praise this tribute fiercely, right?

After thinking about it, Jiang Ling replied, because she thought that since Confucius was a representative of Confucianism, she would definitely like this kind of good deeds without expecting anything in return. Hu Xirong next to Jiang Ling also nodded repeatedly. Obviously, she also thought so.

"Ha ha, it's wrong - Confucius's evaluation of this matter is completely opposite to what you think."

Meng Zhe shook his head with a smile. In the 1990s, people were most concerned about whether they could make money and whether they could make a lot of money. Those who have money are heroes and those who don't have money are bears. It is normal for no one to understand these Chinese allusions.

Of course, as cartoonists and painting cartoons with ancient Chinese background, Jiang Ling and Hu Xirong also take it for granted that it is a little wrong.

Meng Zhe has always felt that even if he is a cartoonist, he also needs to have a deeper understanding of the thoughts of the ancient sages. The so-called poetic and scholarly spirit... In this way, the drawn comics will not appear to have no background and connotation, and can only rely on the sensory stimuli of selling cute and meat to attract the attention of readers.

Which of those truly classic comics is not permeated with the cartoonist's own world outlook and outlook on life different from others?

As for the comics of selling cute meat and killing, I will find it very attractive when I read it for the first time, but it is not attractive after reading a few more. Not to mention that, it will soon be forgotten after reading it... However, although these animations with no connotation are basically forgotten after reading, they are used to read. It's good for people to cheat money in their pockets. After all, this matter is the same as the Qidian Novel Network in later generations. Little White Books can get a good income, because the reader base is too large. Old birds who read too many books will pick and choose, while new readers are in the stage of being hungry and looking good at all kinds of books.

However, if you want readers to support it for a long time and willingly, you have to move closer to the level of classics with connotations.

When he thought of this, Meng Zhe finally found that he was absent- distracted, so he looked at Jiang Hu and others with a slightly embarrassed face waiting for him to answer, and then coughed dryly twice.

"Cough... After hearing about this, Confucius called Zigong, that is, Duanmu, in front of him, and said earnestly, "Give me, you didn't take a good way." From now on, the people of Lu will refuse to redeem themselves for their compatriots who have become slaves. If you recover the state's compensation, it will not damage the value of your behavior; and if you refuse to take back the money you paid, others will not redeem it.

After saying the answer, Meng Zhe swept Jiang and Hu with the afterglow of his eyes. After he found that both of them showed thoughtful expressions, he smiled satisfactorily at the corners of his mouth - although the country is depressed, how can people who can emerge from it and be stupid to be somewhat famous in later generations? How about going in?

Therefore, Meng Zhe, who was quite satisfied with the reaction of the two, continued: "Later, Zilu, another disciple of Confucius, saved a person who fell into the water. In order to thank Zilu, the rescued sent a cow, and Zilu took it. At this time, Confucius commented: 'In this way, the people of Lu must have the courage to save those who fell into the water.' ......"

Compared with Meng Zhe's second story, Jiang and Hu finally completely understood that Meng Zhe was actually criticizing them euphemistically, so they both looked at each other and had a slight fever.

Ouch!

We just said that we are willing to sell copyrights at a low price or even free of charge. This is simply doing the same thing as Zigong! Although some people draw comics for the ideal, more people must value the benefits of drawing comics, right?

If they see such a popular "Princess of Pearl" that we have drawn, they can't earn much money from the adaptation license fee when it is adapted into a TV series, they may be disappointed, right?

And if you can get a large amount of TV series to change the authorization fee, maybe... No, it will definitely stimulate more people and start to create comics!

Sure enough, we and Mr. Jiji are still too far away!

... Jiang Hu, who coincidentally thought like this, looked at Meng Zhe involuntarily, and became the kind of respect and admiration when they first arrived at Tianjiao Club.

The only difference from the beginning is that what Jiang and Hu admire at the beginning is Meng Zhe's talent in comics, and now they admire Meng Zhe's profound thoughts that are far-sighted and far-reaching than ordinary people.

It's a pity that Meng Zhe didn't know what they were thinking. If he knew, he would probably be quite ashamed and blushed, because Meng Zhe's real purpose of making these demon moths was actually just selfish.

It's just like those corrupt officials who take the opportunity to develop the local economy and then take bribes. In fact, most of the comments of such corrupt officials among the people will not be bad, because in people's opinion, although these corrupt officials do make money, they do make the poor land rich. The common people also share the benefits of economic development... So sometimes, a successful corrupt official is actually more useful than ten clean but inactive but inaction.

Although Jiang Ling and Hu Xirong can't see what Meng Zhe's real thoughts are, limited to their experience and the information they have at this time, in fact, even if they really understand Meng Zhe's selfishness, they will still admire and worship Meng Zhe.

After all, compared with those corrupt officials who have made achievements, but have actually infringed on the interests of the people, Meng Zhe's deeds are actually doing things for personal gain. In fact, they have not harmed anyone's interests... Well, after all, Jiang and Hu are not time travelers, so they will never know Meng Zhe's amazing ones. Creation actually infringes on the interests of the original authors.

... In a word, under the 'teaching' of Meng Zhe, Jiang Hu, who was very likely to sell the copyright of the TV adaptation cheaply, reported a very high adaptation authorization fee in front of the people of Mango Channel according to Kong Lan's arrangement.

Just when the business was about to collapse, Kong Lan, who was good at dancing with long sleeves in the business, finally took action. Under her means of elimination and fighting, the man sent by Mango Station to negotiate happily accepted the price proposed by Kong Lan. Although it was far lower than the price proposed by Jiang and Hu, it was actually far away. The adaptation authorization fee is higher than Meng Zhe's bottom line... Because of the high price, it is not only the adaptation authorization fee for the TV series of Princess Pearl, but also the Fairy Sword!

This situation made Meng Zhe, who witnessed the whole negotiation process, involuntarily reach a higher level of admiration for Kong Lan.

"How tall is it?"

Kong Lan, who won the flag, asked sideways.

"This... At least it has to be as tall as Mount Everest!"

Meng Zhe blinked his eyes and said in a flattering tone.

"The flatterer!"

Kong Lan squeezed his lips and smiled, and then got used to pinching Meng Zhe's cheek.

And Meng Zhe fell into a state of distraction, because Kong Lan in Meng Zhe's eyes at this time was suffocatingly beautiful... Meng Zhe's infatuated appearance was naturally soon discovered by Kong Lan, so a faint red glow appeared on Kong Lan's face, and the hand that originally pinched Meng Zhe's face intimately also loosened.

After a while, Kong Lan broke the silence again and said, "Brother Xiaozhe, I heard that you rejected Bian Xiaochun's plan to adapt "Sword of Immortals" into a game?"

"Well, it's rejected! According to the plan they submitted, the game will be no different from Taiwan Daewoo's Legend of Sword and Fairy, so there is no need to do it. After all, Meng Zhe is a teenager with a strange uncle's heart, so he is not so tender that he is even embarrassed to answer.

However, when he replied, Meng Zhe couldn't help recalling the child's posture shown by Kong Lan just now - because Meng Zhe could clearly feel that Kong Lan's pretty blushing appearance just now was definitely not treating him as a younger brother.

So Meng Zhe couldn't help but think of Kong Lan's suffocating and beautiful appearance just now.

Sister Lan just now was so beautiful... For a moment, Meng Zhe was a little crazy again. Although he soon realized that he was in a trance, so he shook his head and threw this idea out of his mind... However, will he really not think about it again?

Meng Zhe doesn't know, because he dares not continue to think about it, because Kong Lan is his sister.

When Meng Zhe was thinking nonsense, Kong Lan was also obviously absent-headed, so the two of them said a few more words in a mess and then separated.

After returning to his office and studio, he was quiet for a while. Meng Zhe finally 'escaped' from Tianjiao Club and rarely went to school.

When he arrived at school, Meng Zhe suddenly found that the original time had quietly reached the end of the semester. However, after sitting in his seat, Meng Zhe was surprised to find that Mu Huahua, who was sitting next to him, was not reviewing his homework but reading extracurricular books.

A Spanish original version of One Hundred Years of Solitude, a thick Spanish dictionary, is placed quietly in front of Mu Huahua.

Can you really understand this girl?

Meng Zhe doesn't know Spanish, but he knows cien-a? The word os-de-soledad, because his beloved wife Jiang Weiwei also bought the original Spanish version of "One Hundred Years of Solitude" in later generations.

At such a moment, Jiang Weiyu also read the published book while flipping through the dictionary, while Meng Zhe, who was intoxicated with comics, only remembered the string of Spanish characters as the title of the book.

Although he has not read the original version, Meng Zhe has also learned the "One Hundred Years of Solitude" in his high school textbook, which once won the Nobel Prize in Explosives Literature and wrote the whole history of Latin America in a magical way.

To be honest, when he was studying the text at that time, Meng Zhe just felt that the story told by "One Hundred Years of Solitude" was absurd but very interesting.

It was not until Jiang Weiqi bought the original version of "One Hundred Years of Solitude" after marriage, and deliberately said something about the book to Meng Zhe after reading it. Meng Zhe didn't care about the extensive and profoundness of the book and the author's own compelling talent.

But even Jiang Weiyu, who was in his twenties at that time, had said that he could not understand all of them... He probably noticed Meng Zhe's doubtful eyes. Mu Huaying, who had been concentaving on reading, finally raised his head. After seeing Meng Zhe observing himself doubtfully, Mu Huaying nodded to Meng Zhe.

"You're here."

After a brief greeting, Mu Huayu moved her eyes back to the original "One Hundred Years of Solitude", but this time she obviously couldn't continue to concentrate on reading.

Gently biting her lip, Mu Huahua stretched out her hand from her schoolbag and took out a thick notebook.

"The key points of the exam, the teachers circled, and..." When putting the notebook in front of Meng Zhe, Mu Huayu filled up the words with an almost inaudible voice: "... I guess."

Looking at Juanxiu's handwriting on the notebook, Meng Zhe didn't know how to answer.

I have guessed Meng Zhe's reaction for a long time. The small Muhuahuan smiled at Meng Zhe, slightly revealing two rows of white teeth.

"Meng Zhe, you guy, can't you even say thank you? This is the stupid girl of Huayu... specially prepared for you, a busy man!"

Someone pushed hard on Meng Zhe's shoulder and said in a very dissatisfied tone.

There is no need to look back. Meng Zhe also knew that the person who was fighting for Mu Huaying was Guan Yuluo, so Meng Zhe could only reply with a wry smile, "I said, Guan Yuluo, are you taking private revenge in public?"

The so-called public revenge is because after Guan Yuluo finished "Cangsheng Qin Huang", the manuscripts of several new novels were killed by Meng Zhe without mercy, so Guan Yuluo was annoyed that he gritted his teeth and said that he would never write damn novels again, while collecting all kinds of writing materials with great effort... ... "Cut, do you think I'm you?" Guan Yuluo stared at Meng Zhe fiercely, and then continued to urge, "Don't get in the way. Hurry up and say thank you to Huaying!"

Guan Yuluo is good at everything, but occasionally she can't help fighting injustice when she is hot-blooded, even if these things that Mu Huaying does in her opinion already belong to the category of rivals in love.

"Thank you, Hua Yu, but then again... Aren't you afraid that your final exam results will surpass you after your notes? Don't cry when the first grade changes to the second grade!"

Meng Zhe said to the donkey at the bottom of the slope. Although he is still pretending to be confused, what does Meng Zhe understand in Mu Huajie's note.

And Mu Huahua didn't say anything more. She just smiled with her crooked eyelashes... "Idiot!"

Guan Yuluo was behind and muttered angrily.

What's the difference between the first one and the second one? Aren't you still at the same table next semester?
