"The teacher should be reading comics in the study now. Chen Ze, Alan, please wait here. I'll go in and report to the teacher."
After entering Li Mingyang's house in the city, he Yuchao said.
"OK, we'll wait here." Chen Ze nodded. After he left, he and Alan looked at the house together.
Although it's in the urban area of BJ, Li Ming's house is big and frightening. Among other things, the living room where Chen Ze and his family are standing now covers an area of more than 100 square meters, not to mention that there are at least five or six rooms in it, with the second floor above. After that, the house is at least several thousand square meters.
Such a large area, coupled with BJ's most prosperous area, probably needs tens of millions. However, this did not attract much attention of Chen Ze. After all, with his present wealth, this kind of house is not really anything.
What really attracted Chen Ze's attention was the wall of the big living room, which was full of comic books and all kinds of peripheral works. It seemed that it was a total accumulation of Li Ming's comic career for more than 20 years. On it are all the works of Li Mingyang over the years.
"Wow, it's the first edition of the comic book magic boy. I liked it the most at that time. I always wanted to buy one, but I didn't buy it because my parents didn't allow me. I didn't expect to see such a cartoon here. Now it's worth at least several thousand yuan. I miss the days when I was chasing comics. I feel like it hasn't been long. "
Alan also noticed the furnishings on the wall. She went over, picked up a comic book and said excitedly. Then she read other comics, and naturally she exclaimed.
Li Ming's heyday was when Alan was a child. Therefore, Chen Ze is not surprised at Alan's performance.
"It's a teacher's habit. Since more than 20 years ago, every time he issued a comic book, he always had to keep a good copy of it by himself. He has persisted until now."
At this time, he Yuchao's voice came from behind Chen Ze. He turned to see that he Yuchao was smiling and said, "Mr. Chen Ze, and miss Alan, the teacher is waiting for you in the study. Please come in with me."
Hearing this, Chen Ze and Alan followed he Yuchao into the study.
As soon as he went in, Chen Ze looked around, and sure enough, the study was surprisingly large. And the study is full of all kinds of comics, but in addition to Li Ming's own, Chen Ze also saw other popular comics.
"Welcome both of you to my house. Please have a seat."
At this time, stand up in front of the desk, a person opens a way. He's in his fifties and has black rimmed glasses. But even so, the glasses did not affect his temperament. Instead, they made him a bit more bookish, which made people know that he must be a handsome guy when he was young.
This person is exactly like Li Ming who invited Chen Ze to meet him.
"It's very kind of you, Mr. Li Mingyang. It's an honor for all our cartoonists to be invited." Chen Ze said with a smile, while sitting opposite to Li Ming with Alan.
At this time, he saw on his desk a comic book that Li Ming had just read, which was actually his own "Dragon Ball". That is to say, before he came, he had been reading his "Dragon Ball" comic.
Chen Ze knows that with Li Ming's status, he doesn't need to show anything at all, so it must be true. Li Mingyang is actually reading his own cartoon. After discovering this, Chen Ze is very surprised.
"The dragon ball is the best fighting cartoon I've ever seen. From this point of view, Wu Jiahao doesn't complain that he lost to you at all. " Li Ming seems to have found Chen Ze's surprise. He holds up the "Dragon Ball" cartoon and says with a smile.
"To draw such a cartoon, Chen Ze, you should be able to win the Gaines prize as the youngest cartoonist in history. I'm still a fan of you. " Li Ming said with a smile.
"Mr. Li, you're joking. Who doesn't know that you are the first person in our Chinese cartoon industry? How can I afford your evaluation?" Chen Ze said with a smile.
He knows that Li Mingyang's saying that he is a fan of his own must be polite. He may have read his own comics, and he thinks his comics are good. But with his experience and status, what kind of comics have not been read, how can he be a fan of comics.
"I'm not kidding. Your" Dragon Ball "is really a very good cartoon." Li Ming shook his head and said, "throughout the decades of Chinese comic history, there is no fighting comic that can match you. Even if all the comics are included, your cartoon must be in the top five, and it can at least rise to the top three after the end. ""I have a habit of looking for the most popular cartoons. This habit has not changed for decades. Your "Dragon Ball" is my favorite cartoon now, so I'm a fan of you. I'm not exaggerating. "
Chen Ze didn't expect Li Mingyang to say such a thing. Although he didn't know whether it was true or not, Chen Ze said hurriedly: "thank you for your liking. It's the biggest affirmation of my" Dragon Ball "that you can be liked by Li Mingyang."
Speaking of this, Chen Ze felt at ease. He thought Li Ming would have something to do with him. Now it seems that the atmosphere is very good, and the next conversation should be completed smoothly.
However, he did not expect that after these words, Li Ming's style changed: "it's Chen Ze's age to be able to draw such comics. I should say that I have never seen such talent in my life. So I have a word here. I don't know if you can listen to Chen Ze. "
"What's that?" Chen Ze asked.
"I believe Chen Ze knows something about the current trend of Chinese cartoon industry. Although Lotte's sales and momentum have declined under the impact of your cartoon, there is no doubt that it is still the largest cartoon magazine in China, and its resources are not comparable to those of the new cartoon magazine."
"For a talented person like Chen Ze, only in such a magazine society can his talent be brought into full play and the best comics be created. Although you had some misunderstandings with Lotte club before, fortunately I still have some say in Lotte club. As long as I say hello, I believe they will not haggle with you because of the past. "
"What do you mean, Miss Li?" Hearing this, Chen Ze vaguely recognized the meaning of Li Ming's words and said in a deep voice.
"Very simple, our only condition is that you leave the new animation magazine and join our Lotte club. Your original treatment in the new animation magazine, all turned over, your own animation company and the surrounding store of those copyright, still belong to you. And I guarantee that after you join, you will get the biggest promotion from Lotte society. " Li Ming said with a smile.
But as soon as his words came out, Alan's face immediately changed. She knows Chen Ze very well and knows that Chen Ze will never agree to this request. But now it's Li Mingyang's face-to-face invitation. If he refuses, I'm afraid he will get married with him.
"Well, Chen Ze, do you think about my suggestion?" Li Ming's example.
"Don't think about it." Chen Ze shook his head and stood up, "Mr. Li, I appreciate your kindness, but I will never leave the new animation magazine."
As a matter of fact, for Chen Ze now, the income brought by the comic fee itself is very small, because no matter which magazine he is in, it has little influence on him. After all, his popularity is there.
But not to mention the relationship between him and Lin Lan, just say that he is in the new animation magazine, he will never leave it.
"Alan, let's go, Mr. Li. I appreciate your kindness, but I have something else to do, so I'll go first." Chen Ze opened his mouth and took Alan to the door.
"Wait for Chen Ze. Do you know what the consequences will be if you don't agree?" Li Ming, with a serious face, said, "the leader of Rakuten Society for 20 years will never be defeated by a cartoonist like you. If you don't want to join Lotte club, then I will go out and beat you personally to recover the reputation of Lotte club. Chen Ze, if you think about it well, you will have no regret medicine to take out of this door. "
"Don't think about it. I will never be ungrateful." Chen Ze side more than half a way, "also, I will never accept anyone's threat."
