This thin man was brightly dressed and tailored well, outlining his body line very well. He held a slender cigarette between his fingers, looked at him eagerly, and there was a faint charm different from ordinary people in his gestures and gestures.

When Lu Menglin saw this feminine and beautiful man, his heart skipped a beat, and he felt a little uncomfortable.

As for the other man in the room, he was sitting upright by the window sill, with a square head and big ears, and a short and fat body. He looked like a businessman, but his temperament was a bit special, and he always felt that he was not quite like other people. Same, but can't tell what's different.

"Xiao Lu, you came just in time! Let me introduce you, these two are very powerful friends." Uncle Ji Hu's voice sounded a little hoarse, as if he hadn't had a good rest, and then he said a lot of words, sobbing Like a lot of smoke.

Lu Menglin didn't like the smell of cigarettes, and he didn't like the feeling of being arranged. He shook his head and said, "No need, let's chat! I'll take some things and go for a walk."

Before he finished speaking, Uncle Ji Hu rushed to the door, stretched out his hand and grabbed Lu Menglin's arm, and said in a low voice, "Don't go, let's talk."

Lu Menglin saw that Uncle Ji Hu's eyes were bloodshot and his face was much haggard than yesterday, but his spirit was extraordinarily excited.

"Okay! If you don't mind, I want to open the doors and windows for some ventilation." Lu Menglin strode into the room and pushed the window open with his hand.

The fresh air poured into the house, which immediately dissipated the smell of smoke a lot.

However, such a small move by Lu Menglin caused the other two people present to shiver slightly.

Although this boy is young, it can be seen from this detail that he is very assertive and not someone who can be easily fooled.

"Xiao Lu, this is Ah V. He used to be the editor-in-chief of "The King of Painting Books", and now he is an independent publisher." Uncle Ji Hu introduced patiently.

The rather feminine man raised his head, looked up and down Lu Menglin's body, and finally fell on his face, and the two looked at each other.

Lu Menglin was not afraid to look directly at the other party, but felt that this guy's eyes seemed strange. It was easy to see that there was a bit of stubbornness, but there was also a hint of shyness.

"This person is so strange!" Lu Menglin had already made his first evaluation in his heart.

"There is also this one, Japanese businessman Tadao Hojo, who works in the investment department of Miura Co., Ltd." Uncle Jihu continued to introduce.

"Japanese?" Lu Menglin was taken aback for a moment. He really didn't expect to meet a Japanese in [-]. It seems that this trip to Beijing was really not in vain. It was interesting, very interesting.

Just hearing the positions of these two, Lu Menglin had already vaguely guessed Uncle Ji Hu's thoughts in his heart, but he naturally wouldn't tell the truth, just nodded his head, looking very indifferent.

Uncle Ji Hu continued: "We are discussing a business related to you. I want to buy the copyright of your "Anti-Material Warfare", and ask them to adapt it into a comic and re-publish it in a separate book, which will be published by Hainan."

Sure enough, Lu Menglin's heart skipped a beat.

Uncle Ji Hu is from Hainan Photographic Art Publishing House. This Ah V is the former editor-in-chief of "The King of Painting Books". Japanese businessmen have investment in their hands. They want to adapt "Anti-Material Warfare" into comics and integrate resources. Do Guoman and make a comeback.

Lu Menglin smiled slightly, and said casually: ""The King of Painting Books" is a very good publication, what a pity!"

That editor Ah V's eyes immediately lit up when he heard that.

This publication was once popular across the country and took the lead in introducing popular Japanese comics into China. Although it died in just one year, as a semi-monthly "Picture Book King", it drove the development of the entire Chinese comics, and also made Japanese publishing houses see China. Hope for the comics market.

I have to say that ginger is still old and spicy, and Uncle Ji Hu's idea definitely has a market.

He integrated the original team of Hainan Photographic Art Publishing House and the editorial team of "The King of Picture Books", and with the help of the Japanese capital, he bought the copyright of Lu Menglin's newcomer science fiction works. He wanted to use this set of the most powerful team to make pure Chinese manga.

If this work can be successfully published, I believe it must be a milestone masterpiece.

However, judging by Lu Menglin's future experience, this large-scale production of multi-party cooperation is very likely to be Huang Liang's dream, and it is difficult to truly realize it.

Because the production cycle is too long, it takes time to adapt a novel into a manga, and it also needs to be published and released to open up the market. Even if all of these can be completed by fire, the length of this "Anti-Material Warfare" is only [-] words. It can't support such a long front at all.

It seems that Uncle Ji Hu has no choice but to fight with his back.If he can't start the project as soon as possible, Hainan Photographic Art Publishing House will be completely shut down.

Seeing that Lu Menglin was silent, Ji Hu thought he was worried about the copyright price, and quickly said: "Xiao Lu, you don't have to worry about the price. Since we are going to jointly produce your book, the price will definitely be the highest in the industry, and we I also hope to promote you as a person. We are very confident!"

Lu Menglin smiled, shook his head and said, "This novel alone is not enough to save Hainan Photographic Art Publishing House."

"That's why we decided to change it to manga. We will invite the best painters in China to draw, and the Japanese side will also provide technical guidance, strive for high-quality products, and make a big hit, and reopen the domestic market." Ah V said sharply. .

Lu Menglin shook his head and said lightly: "Not enough! How long do you plan to spend on this matter? If the enthusiasm cannot be maintained, how long can the Japanese funds continue to burn?"

Unexpectedly, Lu Menglin, a high school student, hit the nail on the head, and the three people in the room were all surprised.

This key point was also the focus of the quarrel between the three in the room just now.

Ji Hu believes that we can take one step at a time, start to operate this popular novel by Lu Menglin, and then copy this successful model.

Ah V thinks this method is too risky, what will be the next work?Where is the copyright?When there is nothing, rushing to make a move is a dead end.

The management representative, Tadao Hojo, remained neutral. He neither objected to providing a sum of money to try, but also agreed with Ah V's point of view, that the gamble must be done only after seeing the way ahead.

For Ji Hu, this may be the last chance for Hainan Photography and Art Publishing House. Only by winning this project and getting this investment can the collapsed popularity be captured. If there is no team, there will really be nothing. .

And he also hoped to be able to repay Lu Menglin in terms of the copyright price, to repay this kid's righteousness.Even if the project really can't continue in the future, at least it will make an extra fortune for Lu Menglin.

"I have an idea, which may solve the problem you are currently arguing about." Lu Menglin blurted out with a flash of inspiration in his mind.

Hearing these words, Ji Hu's eyes flashed with astonishment, while Ah V had a sneer of disdain.

Only the Japanese businessman Hojo Tadao still maintained his trademark kind smile.

Lu Menglin sorted out his thoughts, and said seriously: "I'm not going to sell you the comic copyright of "Anti-Material Warfare"."

Upon hearing this, Uncle Ji Hu's face flushed immediately.

"The length of this novel is too short. I'm currently conceiving a super long novel. We can do it in serial form." Lu Menglin smiled.

"Long form?"

"Super long story?" Ah V and Hojo Tadao narrowed their eyes at the same time, staring at Lu Menglin intently.

You must know that a good author is more rare than a good article, and a long serialization will test the strength of an author even more.

This young man, who is only a sophomore this year, actually said that he wanted to write a long novel, which is really unconvincing.

"Xiao Lu, tell me, what are you going to do?" Uncle Ji Hu responded casually.

Hearing that Lu Menglin said that he was going to write a long novel, Uncle Ji Hu's first reaction was that he was finished. This kid probably thought that the money here was easy to earn, so he actually wanted to write a long novel. Isn't it clear that he wants to make a lot of money!

Lu Menglin smiled slightly, and said: "I plan to buy shares at the price of copyright, and you don't need to invest in copyright fees now to reduce costs. Moreover, this novel can not be published as a single book, but in the form of magazine serialization. Do."

"Serialized in a magazine? In which magazine?" Ah V's mind is very sharp, and he rushed to ask.

Lu Menglin laughed and said, "Why do you want to serialize it in someone else's magazine? We can start a new magazine together! With the experience and market influence of the two of you, is it difficult?"

Chapter 57 Publication plan

One word awakened the dreamer, Ji Hu and Ah V were shocked at the same time, and quickly began to conceive the feasibility of this matter in their minds.

As a result, the two couldn't help but look at each other, seeing a fiery light in each other's eyes.

With the marketing team of Hainan Photographic Art Publishing House and the editorial team of "The King of Picture Books", if you want to run a brand new juvenile magazine, it is definitely the strongest combination in China at this stage.
