Chapter 60

"Ding Ling Ling..."

Meng Huo was woken up by the fierce bell. He picked up his cell phone drowsily and connected it vaguely: "Alice, what's the matter?"

"Who is Alice?"

A clear girl's voice came from the other side. Meng Huo responded: "Shen Jie, it's you. Why do you call me?"

He looked at the time. It's only seven in the morning. It's too early. The school hasn't started yet. How could Shen Jie call him early in the morning?

"Meng Huo, did you surf the Internet? He Xi has published a new novel on the Internet. It's super classic. He's really talented. If you don't read it earlier, don't miss it! " Shen Jie said excitedly.

"Oh."

Meng Huo said, "I know. I'm going to continue to sleep."

"Well, wait a minute, I have one more thing!" Shen Jie quickly stopped and said, "it's a holiday next week. Can you accompany me to a place on November 22?"

"Good."

Meng Hao yawned and agreed.

"That's great. I'll let you know the details before that. You're ready."

Shen Jie happily hung up the phone.

Meng Huo suddenly sobered up, ready, still ready? What does Shen Jie want him to do? He even agreed without asking. It was a blunder.

He sighed and couldn't sleep any more, so he got up and went out to wash. Li Qin went out very early, and soon came back with vegetables to make breakfast.

Breakfast time, a news flash on TV.

"Yesterday, He Xi, a famous cartoonist, published his novel The Legend of the monkey king on the Internet, which received more than one million hits in half a day. Some people say that this is a response to the comic strip of the Romantic Princess Qin ya. We have an exclusive interview with Qin ya to see how she evaluates the novel. "

"Hello, I'm Qin ya. I read Wukong Zhuan, which is a very excellent novel. I didn't expect that He Xi could be as good at two kinds of skills as me. I admit that I underestimated him. I hope he Xi can keep up his efforts and become a first-class novelist as soon as possible. "

"Miss Qin Ya is already a first-class novelist. Of course, all of the above are the personal views of reporters, not the views of Taiwan."

Meng Huo stops at the dinner table. It's not that he's afraid of Qin ya. It's just that Li Qin always opposes him. He's too eye-catching. I don't know what reaction he will make at this time.

"You've done so much again." Li Qin's face unchanged eating noodles, very calm: "don't be nervous, I knew last night, now won't be surprised."

"Yes."

Meng Huo wiped his sweat.

"But there's one thing I have to say."

Li Qin put down her chopsticks, her face suddenly turned cold, and her eyes glared at Meng Huo: "if you do one thing for more than ten hours all night, don't blame your mother for being angry."

She was already angry. Meng Huo quickly said that she would not be so willful in the future.

After breakfast, tomatoes come.

"Teacher He Xi, I come to work!" As soon as tomato came in, he looked very excited: "Teacher He Xi, after the publication of Wukong Zhuan, you must sign for me. That novel is so good-looking!"

Meng Huo nodded happily: "let's talk about it after publication."

Last night Alice came home and told him that Phoenix would not publish Wukong Zhuan.

This surprised Meng Huo. He didn't publish when he was rich. What's the game? But Alice's explanation is also very clear, Phoenix company is a professional comic book publishing company, there is no need to set foot in the novel for the sake of instant, and they do not intend to compete with Longteng in the novel market.

The novel market is even more cruel. It's very good to do a good job in comics.

In fact, just publishing a novel is not a very troublesome job for Phoenix. The main problem is that Meng Huo doesn't want ordinary publishing. He wants to use Wukong biography to enhance his influence. The company must spend a lot of money on advertising, otherwise it won't have much effect.

Phoenix company thinks that there are too many variables in it. If the advertisement is too large, it will even mislead the company's external image and attract the vigilance and hostility of many novel groups. If so, it's better to hand over the copyright of Wukong Zhuan to show sincerity.

For this decision, Meng Huo was a little disappointed, but also admired Phoenix's decision.

Xu Jing, who led the development of Fenghuang, was a cautious man who could stand the challenge. Knowing that Wukong Zhuan would create great economic benefits, he gave up in order not to get involved in the novel market. This kind of behavior is the same as the previous idea that he would not easily get involved in animation.Every step of Xu Jing is very careful. Phoenix company has his leading role. Let's not talk about the future development, at least the possibility of accident is very small.

But in this way, Meng Huo had to consult with other publishers. He wrote Wukong Zhuan not for money, money is secondary, the important thing is the influence of Wukong Zhuan, this novel will draw more people to know him, so they are interested in his comics.

Meng Huo can more and more understand the gap between the Chinese novel market and the comic market through investigation.

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

Comics have not been listed separately in CCTV so far. As a new and rapidly developing industry, only a few local TV stations have set up comics programs, and most of them are based on novels adapted from comics.

In a world where intellectual property rights are strictly protected, comics are still a minority, while novels have become a popular culture comparable to TV and movies

It doesn't take a few days for He Xi's Wukong Zhuan to enter the mainstream media. It's not that it's much better than comics, but that the novel itself has promotion advantages.

If he can find a powerful publishing company, there is no need to worry about the promotion and advertising. Under this promotion, more readers will surely come to see comics.

Qin Ya proved this point, the novelist launched comic books, sales blowout. In addition to some readers who used to be comic books, there are many people who buy comic books for Qin ya. They usually have the habit of buying books. Buying a comic book has no pressure on people

"But who will be given the right to publish..."

Meng Huo thought about this problem. In the morning, teacher tomato suddenly put forward a question between work.

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

This sentence was boldly asked by tomato after thinking for a long time. Now people see He Xi's novel talent, and many people wonder if he will leave the comic world.

"No

Meng Huo said with a smile: "in the future, the comic industry will not lag behind the novel industry. I have no reason to leave."
