Chapter 8 Are you a potato stew with tomatoes?
Wang Yongsheng returned to Lu Province thousands of miles away, but he did not go to his hometown Longkou as soon as possible, but rushed to the port city not far from Longkou as soon as possible, because a genius cartoonist was waiting for him in the city surrounded by mountains and seas.
"There is still no change in this city!" Mr. Wang Yongsheng shook his head. Compared with the front-line of the capital, the Magic City, the port city has developed too slowly. He could see that the development speed and enthusiasm of the island city, which is also a port city, is far higher than that of here. The development speed of a city without ambition is the most severely affected, but it is in this critical period of reform and opening up.
According to the address on the phone, Mr. Wang took a taxi to XX Road, then knocked on the door, and soon a crisp childish voice came from the door: "Who is it!"
"Well! Do you have two children in this family? Is this the younger one?" Mr. Wang was puzzled. It was obvious that the child's voice was too tender and he could not be a high school student!
"I am Wang Yongsheng, editor-in-chief of the editorial department of the calligraphy and painting kings. I'm here to discuss the serialization. Can you please ask your elders to open the door?" Mr. Wang said kindly.
"Oh! It's coming so soon. Mr. Wang is so dedicated!" Wang Huan whispered and went up to open the door. His mother was busy stewing chicken. She was now very relieved of Wang Huan's judgment ability, so she let him decide.
When Mr. Wang Yongsheng saw the thin black child behind the door, he smiled and said, "Little boy, your adult family will do it again."
"My grandpa invited me in. My mother had cooked the meal. We were having a chat while eating. It's okay to run it. The problem is that I still have to go to school now! How many stories do you plan to serialize at a time?" Wang Huan was talking while inviting someone in. The other party was a legendary figure, and he was a little excited.
"You, you, you! Are you just potatoes with tomatoes? Are you kidding kids?" Mr. Wang Yongsheng was all Spartan. What's this? It's not rare for primary school students to draw comics, and it's not too rare to draw well, but it's rare in China. And it's unheard of that. He was already mentally prepared to face a mature and mature high school student genius, but he can't do it now, and it's completely messy in the wind.
"That's right! Mr. Wang laughed. This pen name is just a floating cloud. We are not a literary youth, so it's not a pen name for the love and joy of the world. But I'm not a young man, so I can't stand it. Anyway, I'm a foodie, so it's better to use the name of the dish! Tomato stewed potatoes with tomatoes is a must-have dish for killing people and setting fires at home!"
Wang Huan started to fool him freely. Poor Mr. Wang has seen such a great elementary school student in his life! He was dizzy after tricking him one by one. Is this still a human? Is it not a reincarnation of a fairy?
Bang! Wang Huan's mother couldn't stand it anymore, so she slapped Wang Huan in the head. Recently, she has become addicted to it. She doesn't listen to her son fooling him every day and then hit him a few times and feels uncomfortable all over.
"I'm sorry, sir, my son is so naughty, you forgive me!"
"It's okay, children should be more lively. What do you call me? Lao Jiu's surname is Wang, Wang Yongsheng."
"It turns out it's Mr. Wang. My surname is Lin. This is my son Wang Huan. Call grandpa quickly." Mom Lin took out a gesture of teaching her son a lesson and stared at Wang Huan fiercely.
"Hey, you're looking at people with such scary eyes, which makes people suck their hearts." Wang Huan started spoofing again. This crayon new style of words made Mr. Wang choke and cough. What a monster! No wonder he could write such a funny dialogue. He is such a genius child!
"Well! This is where you draw the manuscript?" Old Master Wang saw the white paper, various pencils and dip pens on Wang Huan's desk at a glance. He had a lot of tools. This was done by Wang Huan according to the information from the comic lectures of the Dream Eater and the King of Painting.
Mr. Wang looked at a few storyboards and drafts and nodded involuntarily. The painting skills are really good, the lines are very soft, the characters are also very good, the space comparison is very professional, the proportions and lines are particularly pleasing to the eye, especially the background is very good, not rough at all, and it has the atmosphere of a small Chinese city. These are things that ordinary comic lovers don’t pay attention to.
"Xiao Wang! Don't mind if I call you like this? In my eyes, you are qualified to communicate with us as equally as an adult. We are very satisfied with your Doctor Cat comic. We plan to sign a formal contract with you. The tentative price is 15 pages!" Mr. Wang temporarily ruthlessly raised the price again.
"Hehe, it's so much! But old man, why do I hear that it costs only a few hundred yuan for a Japanese cartoonist to serialize it!" Wang Huan asked curiously with innocence.
"Cough cough. It's different! Japan's income is high but the prices are also high. They have to spend hundreds of drops per pound of pork." The old man said it right, but please add a yen to the 100-word. The exchange ratio between the yen and the RMB is not high, especially since August 1993, the exchange rate between the US dollar and the yen was 1 to 100. This is when the RMB was 1 to 100 against the US dollar, which means that one yuan can be exchanged for ten yen. No matter how expensive the meat is, it is just a few dozen yuan, let alone the total income is high.
Wang Huan told this question with a puzzled look, completely speechless. Damn a ten-year-old child caring about the international currency exchange rate is a magical situation? It's a monster!
"Old man! Increased authors' income is the motivation to encourage them to create good works. At least one page is about 150! In this way, cartoonists can be considered as high-income positions, and people will also take a high look. The improvement of social status is true. Otherwise, it will be easy to be harmonious by the country if they are instigated by those who do not understand!"
Wang Huan revealed some secrets to the other party, Mr., you should pay attention!
"There is also the serialization of Japanese comics. I think you should talk to the Japanese side, even if you pay for money to cooperate! Otherwise, the Japanese comics industry will protest against their government, and our government can only crack down on it severely, otherwise it will lose face! The king of calligraphy and painting will become the target!"
Wang Huan's words shocked the old man, and he had already noticed it, but he was not too serious yet. Now he thinks that China-Japan relations have not been very good. This will never be spared if our country's leaders are embarrassed. When he goes back, he will find a way to cooperate!
