Chapter 1074: Persuasion and Vacation(1/2)

When he got home, Meng Huo had several more books on his hands.

These books contain illustrations by Zhao Mei. When he returned to the room, he began to look. As Chen Jie said, the illustrations were indeed very beautiful, and not ordinary.

The most important thing is that her illustrations are not stiff. Zhao Mei can always express the atmosphere described in the novel. Each illustration is very vivid and beautiful. No wonder she is more popular.

This is a comic genius who has carefully examined it. Meng Huo made a judgment that Zhao Mei is one of the few people who can draw artistic conception and temperament. She is very suitable for drawing comics. She has no reason to become a cartoonist. Meng Huo also found it on the title page of a book.

The biggest threshold for a cartoonist who does not have talent for creation is not painting, but creation. Among the professional cartoonists, many cartoonists have little difference in painting skills. The first criterion for measuring their popularity is not painting, but story.

A cartoonist's painting skills are the basis, and the outcome lies in the stories they create. This situation is very common for Zhao Mei. Among the ten people who can draw cartoons, only one or two can write stories. However, Zhao Mei is not good at creating, and her painting skills are also excellent among professional cartoonists.

"This is the best person..."

Meng Huo thought so, then picked up his cell phone and called Dong Ding: "I found a talent who can act as my agent and draw comics at Zhongxia Company."

He was straight to the point, and Dong Ding's voice started to sound: "Who?"

"Zhao Mei, have you heard of this person?"

"Zhao Mei? That illustrator?" Dong Ding immediately reacted, Meng Huo's eyes lit up. It seemed that Zhao Mei was even more famous than he thought: "Yes... it's her... you help me get her..."

"good."

Dong Ding reacted faster than Meng Huo expected. After finishing the phone call, he immediately called the secretary: "Go and investigate the illustrator named Zhao Mei, where is she now?"

In less than ten minutes, the secretary came back to report: "She is in Ninghai, Longteng Company."

"Help me contact Li Ming!" Dong Ding stood up. Since Zhao Mei was in Longteng Company, the matter would be easy. Longteng Company was a company he established, and Dong Ding still has a considerable influence there.

He decided to take a trip himself,

The next day, Dong Ding came to Longteng Building, and Li Ming came out to receive him personally. At the same time, he also called Zhao Mei for him.

"Ms. Zhao, this is our first time meeting. Do you know me?"

Dong Ding looked at Zhao Mei secretly. This was the first time he had seen this illustrator, a beautiful woman. Although she was inferior to a cartoonist like Qin Ya, she was still outstanding. No wonder she became so popular.

"Mr. Dong, I know you..." Zhao Mei nodded. She knew everything about the comics industry, so she naturally would not know the president of Zhongxia Company: "Do you have something to ask me for?"

Dong Ding nodded and said, "I want to ask if you would like to debut as a cartoonist in our company with others."

"cartoonist?"

"Yes, cartoonist..." Dong Ding nodded: "I investigated your situation. Your paintings are very good. You have always wanted to be a cartoonist, right? Now we can find a partner for you."

"Who?" Zhao Mei became curious.

Dong Ding shook his head: "I can't say this..."

"I don't even know anyone. Do you think I will agree?" Zhao Mei shook her head and said, "I have my own plan. I won't waste my paintings unless I give me an excellent partner."

"Miss Zhao, do you think I will come here for you?" Dong Ding asked, and Zhao Mei was slightly stunned: "What does it mean?"

"Mr. Dong may mean... he wanted to invite you as the person you partnered with, not to invite others for you." Li, who was sitting on the side, clearly understood the meaning of Dong Ding's words better.

"Mr. Dong, that person is very valued by you. What I said is correct?"

He looked at Dong Ding, and Dong Ding nodded: "That person deserves the attention of all companies."

A light flashed in Li Ming's eyes. Today's things are interesting. Who can make Dong Ding come to him and smiled at Zhao Mei and said, "This is a good opportunity, you should seize it."

However, Zhao Mei did not believe it.

"I have seen all the comics of Zhongxia Company, except Jingyue. I don't admire anyone." She said to Dong Ding: "The most outstanding combination of Zhongxia is the angel, but if they send representatives, I will not lose to any of them."

Dong Ding shook his head: "He is not inferior to the angel."

"I don't believe a cartoonist who can't even name it..." Zhao Mei shook her head. Why did she cooperate with such a person: "Someone has agreed to draw comics with me, and I found a partner."

Dong Ding frowned: "Who?"

"Teacher Linhai."

Zhao Mei said. Dong Ding knew that this person was a novelist who was close to the front line. There was such a writer who was willing to give up his figure and debut with Zhao Mei, which surprised him a little.

But Dong Ding was not much shaken.

"What if I say... this person is better than Linhai?" He turned his brain and said calmly: "What I want to introduce to you is a newcomer who has been following our company for many years. He has not made his debut yet, but his talent is no less than He Xi. If there is someone in this world who can fight against He Xi, then he is the only one who can change the fate of the comics world."

Dong Ding's words are half true and half false. Zhongxia Company has indeed paid attention to He Xi for many years, but it is not the focus of being a newcomer, but as an opponent. As for talent, He Xi's talent will certainly not be inferior to He Xi, which is correct.

However, when this passage came out, Li Ming and Zhao Mei were both frightened.

"Not less than He Xi's talent?", "Can you fight against He Xi?"

The two of them were thinking in their hearts, "How is that possible!" Many people had said this in the past, but those who said this now shut up without exception. Even the angels dare not say that they can fight against He Xi.

He Xi has spent time proving his supreme position in the comics and animation worlds, and no one can challenge him. Although Zhao Mei has always disliked Phoenix Company and regarded He Xi as her target, she understands that she can't catch up with He Xi anyway.

Come back to the surprise brought by Dong Ding, Zhao Mei's voice became cold: "That person can compare with He Xi, you said too much. If he had such talent, why didn't you let him out earlier?"

She intuitively believed that Dong Ding was lying. In fact, according to common sense, Zhongxia Company had such a genius. They could not wait until today to use it.

"It's not that we don't want him to come out, it's that he doesn't want to come out." Dong Ding said calmly. Many geniuses have an alternative temper and personality. While he fulfills this lie, he can also highlight the image of that genius.

Dong Ding told Zhao Mei that it was not him who chose Zhao Mei, but the genius who had never made his debut, just because he didn't like other people's paintings, but he now likes Zhao Mei.

He couldn't say all of these words was lies. The one who liked Zhao Mei was indeed Meng Huo. If it weren't for him, Dong Ding wouldn't have come here at all.

No one doesn't like to listen to flattery. These words made Zhao Mei feel a little better, and she didn't feel so disgusted with the mysterious genius in her heart.

But even so, she was still quite suspicious. She looked at Dong Ding's face, and his expression had never changed, not as if she was joking.

"...even if that's the case... I still don't want to cooperate with such a person..."

Finally, Zhao Mei shook her head.

"That's it." Dong Ding stood up, and seemed to have no intention of continuing to persuade: "There are many talented painters in this world. If he likes you, he may also like other people. Since you don't want to, I won't force you."

He walked out the door, as if he didn't care about Zhao Mei at all.

Zhao Mei's face changed slightly. When Dong Ding was about to go out, she suddenly frowned and said, "Can you let me see his works first?"

Dong Ding, who walked to the door, smiled, but disappeared quickly. He turned to Zhao Mei and said, "Have you agreed to cooperate?"

"I want to take a look at his works first." Zhao Mei said.

Dong Ding nodded: "This is OK. But I have a condition."

Zhao Mei held back his anger: "What conditions?"

"I want you to receive training from our company." Dong Ding said: "You draw very well, but this does not mean that your comics will be well drawn. I will arrange professional editors and cartoonists to train you, and only then will you give his works to you when you can draw them well."

Zhao Mei was furious: "I can draw comics!"

She has been reading comics for many years. She was learning to draw comics four or five years ago when she was an illustrator and studied them seriously. Zhao Mei felt that as long as she gave her a story, she would be able to draw it without losing to a first-class cartoonist.

But Dong Ding did not retreat: "What we are asking for is not ordinary comics, but ultimate comics. You still need to improve your standards. Now you can't draw his works well."

One reason he insisted was to give Meng Huo plenty of time to create new stories. Now he has no work left to Zhao Mei.

"It's not bad for you."

Zhao Mei frowned and thought that although it was a bit unhappy for being dominated by others, the training of comics is indeed not harmful to her, and it is a rare opportunity.

And after hearing Dong Ding say this, Zhao Mei has already begun to believe what he said, so much trouble. Those who want to cooperate with her may be really a very powerful person.

"No matter what, I'm not happy at that time, no one can force me..."

Zhao Mei finally nodded, and she decided to look at that person's work. Regardless of whether things succeed or not, she would have no loss. If it was really as good as Dong Ding said, it would naturally be a good thing.

"I will make arrangements for you tomorrow."

Dong Ding smiled and left with satisfaction.

"Mr. Dong..." On the way to send him away, Li Ming asked curiously: "When did you discover such a talent? Why haven't I heard of it?"

He did not doubt Dong Ding. Dong Ding was Long Teng's master in the past. Li Ming knew that Dong Ding would not make such jokes. Today, when he saw him coming here in person, Li Ming knew that things were going to be fine.

Zhongxia must have found a very powerful creator, which made Dong Ding value it so much.

However, strangely, Li Ming had never heard of any rumors before.

Of course, Dong Ding did not answer Li Ming's question. He was not worried about keeping it in hiding it. If this matter was announced, no one would suspect that the person was He Xi.

“The comics world will be interesting next year…”

When Dong Ding thought so, he had a little expectation for next year's comics industry.

The next day, Meng Huo got the news that Zhao Mei had been persuaded by Zhongxia Company to be lured into it.

"I got it, I will prepare a work as soon as possible."

Meng Huo said to Dong Ding, and then on that afternoon, before getting off work, Xu Jing heard the news and came to the company.

"I have heard Dong Ding say that... Are you planning to debut in Zhongxia Company?" Xu Jing asked.

"Yes..." Meng Huo nodded. He had this idea very early.

He needs freshness, and sometimes he feels that Zhongxia and Phoenix will compete better. The comics industry, which has no competition at all, is too monotonous. If Phoenix Company forms a monopoly, there will be more enemies in the future.

Since the news that he is a shareholder of Zhongxia has not been leaked, Meng Huo is not worried that he will be suspected.

He could not put so much energy into Phoenix in Zhongxia, so Phoenix Company will still have the upper hand in the future, and Zhongxia can also raise fighting spirit, which is great. Although he is not sure how much Zhao Mei can do it now.
