"Jingle Bell ......"

The fierce ringtone woke Meng Shu from the bed, he picked up the mobile phone with sleepiness, and connected in a daze: "Alice, what's the matter?" ”

"Who's Alice!"

A crisp girl's voice came from the opposite side, and Meng Shucai reacted: "Shen Jie, it's you, why are you calling me?" ”

He looked at the time, it was only seven o'clock in the morning, this was too early, the school hadn't started yet, how could Shen Jie call him early in the morning?

"Meng Shu, have you been online? It's a pity to release a new novel on the Internet, super classic, he is so talented, you didn't read it and go to see it earlier, don't miss it! Shen Jie said excitedly.

"Oh."

Meng Shu muttered weakly: "I know it, I'm going to continue sleeping." ”

"Eh, wait, I have one more thing!" Shen Jie hurriedly stopped: "Next week's holiday, can you accompany me to a place on November 22." ”

"Okay."

Meng Hao yawned and agreed.

"That's great, I'll let you know the details before then, so you can prepare."

Shen Jie happily hung up the phone.

Meng Shu suddenly sobered up, ready, still preparing? Could it be that Shen Jie wanted him to do something? He agreed without asking, and he made a mistake.

He sighed, couldn't sleep any longer, so he got up and went out to wash. Li Qin went out very early, and soon came back with the dishes and made breakfast.

At breakfast time, a piece of news flashed on the TV.

"Yesterday, the famous cartoonist He Xi publicly published the novel "The Legend of Wukong" on the Internet, with more than one million hits in half a day, and some people said that this was a response to the romance princess Qin Ya to launch a girl's comic. This station interviewed Qin Ya to see how she commented on this novel. ”

"Hello everyone, I'm Qin Ya. I read "The Legend of Wukong", which is quite an excellent novel, but I didn't expect that He Xi could be as good at two skills as me, I admit to underestimating him, and I hope He Xi can make persistent efforts and be promoted to a first-class novelist as soon as possible. ”

"Miss Qin Ya is already a first-class novelist, of course, the above are the reporter's personal views and do not represent the views of this station."

Meng Xu's movements at the table stopped, not that he was afraid of Qin Ya, but Li Qin had always objected to him being too eye-catching, and he didn't know how Lu Dao would react at this time.

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

"Yes."

Meng Shu wiped his sweat.

"But there's something I have to say."

Li Qin put down the dishes and chopsticks, his face suddenly turned cold, and his eyes glared at Meng Shu: "If you do one thing for more than ten hours all night in the future, then don't blame your mother for being angry." ”

She's already angry.

Meng Huo hurriedly apologized, not daring to disobey this mother who had brought him up.

After breakfast, the tomato came.

"What a pity, teacher, I'm coming to work!" As soon as Tomato entered the door, his expression was extremely excited: "What a pity teacher, after the publication of "The Legend of Wukong", you must sign for me, that novel is so good!" ”

Meng Yu nodded happily: "Let's talk about it after publication." ”

He was a little worried about whether it would be published, and last night Alice came to his house and told him that Phoenix would not publish "The Legend of Wukong".

This surprised Meng Shu, he didn't publish it when he had money to make, what was this playing? However, Alice's explanation is also very clear, Phoenix is a professional comic book publishing company, there is no need to get involved in novels for the sake of momentary pleasure, and they do not plan to compete with Dragon Teng in the novel market.

The novel market is even more brutal, and it is very good to do a good job in the comic industry.

In fact, just publishing a novel is not a very troublesome job for Phoenix, the main problem is that what Meng Xu wants is not ordinary publishing, he wants to use "The Legend of Wukong" to increase his influence, and the company must spend a lot of money on advertising, otherwise there will be little effect.

Phoenix believes that there are too many variables, and if the advertisement is too large, it will even mislead the company's external image, attracting the vigilance and hostility of many novel groups. If this is the case, it is better to hand over the copyright of "The Legend of Wukong" to show sincerity.

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

Xu Jing, who leads the development of Phoenix, is a cautious personality and a person who can withstand **, he knows that "The Legend of Wukong" will create great economic benefits, but he gives up in order not to get involved in the novel market, this behavior is the same as the idea of not getting involved in animation easily.

Xu Jing is very careful in every step, Phoenix Company has his leadership, and the future development is not to mention for the time being, at least the possibility of an accident is very small.

But in this way, Meng Huo had to negotiate with other publishing houses. He didn't write "The Legend of Wukong" for money at all, money is secondary, the important thing is the impact that "The Legend of Wukong" can bring, this novel will attract more people to know him, so as to be interested in his comics.

To what extent is the gap between the Chinese novel and comic markets, Meng Huo can understand more and more through the investigation.

A very simple example can be used to illustrate: CCTV Culture Channel reports the news of the novel industry and introduces newly published excellent novels almost every day, which is equivalent to all-weather sales advertising, and you can imagine the status of the novel industry in China.

As a new and fast-growing industry, only a few local TV stations have opened comic programs, and they are all based on novels adapted from comics.

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

It's a pity that "The Legend of Wukong" will enter the mainstream media in a few days, not that it is much better than comics, but the novel itself has a promotion advantage.

If he can find a good publishing company, then there is no need to worry about the promotion and advertising, and under this promotion, it will inevitably drive more readers to read the comics.

Qin Ya proved this, and the novelist launched a comic book that sold well. In addition to some readers who were originally comics, there are also many people who buy comics for Qin Ya, and they usually have the habit of buying books, and there is no pressure for people to buy a comic......

"But to whom is the right to publish......"

Meng Shu thought about this question, and in the morning, Mr. Tomato suddenly asked a question in between work.

"Why don't you leave the comic world, teacher?"

This sentence was boldly asked by Tomato after thinking about it for a long time, and now that people see what he has for fiction, many people wonder if he will leave the comic book industry.

"No, it won't."

Meng Shu smiled slightly: "The comic industry in the future will definitely not lag behind the novel industry, why should I leave?" ”
