Chapter 319: 319 Chapter 319: 319 “Masterpiece! This is absolutely a masterpiece!”

“Oh my God! How on earth did such a brilliant idea come about?! The magical capsules, the fascinating world setting, the sassy Bulma, the adorable Sun Wukong… I can’t take it; this book is simply divine!”

“Yeah, although the characters are drawn like matchsticks, the dialogue and the distinct character traits are so lively and vivid! This book is so good, we must acquire it! We absolutely must!”

All the big shots in the animation industry present were dazzled; if they could secure this book, the sales would definitely hit new heights!

Now this is what you call a masterpiece!

“Director Guo, quick, contact the author!” As the saying goes, the early bird catches the worm; everyone present wanted to beat the others to it. Whoever could contact the author first would have the upper hand!

Business is like a battlefield, and speed is indeed the essence of war!

At this moment, everyone’s attention was focused on Guo Wending, and if looks could be machine guns, Guo Wending would have been shot dead within ten minutes. Well, if we’re talking about a certain rotund gentleman, he’d probably face a firing squad…

“Everyone, calm down, calm down,” Guo Wending had never faced such a situation since his debut! You should know, the people here are all magnates from the anime industry, especially those sitting in the guest seats–they’re all from major national animation companies!

But the looks they were giving him were filled with intense desire!

It was as if a wife who had long been neglected suddenly discovered her husband was home, and her unveiled yearning looked like she was about to take action right there!

“Let me see, let me see the contact information for this person,” Guo Wending said excitedly, his head sweating as he quickly logged into his station manager account. Soon, the phone number of the author, the great demon king who commands the sun, appeared before everyone!

Someone’s quick hands dialed the number immediately; Wang Hao’s phone at the front of the podium rang at once, but he yawned and “snap,” hung up!

The person was dumbfounded, “What’s going on? The author isn’t answering my call!”

Someone nearby said, “Your face isn’t good enough, watch me!” They dialed directly–Wang Hao’s phone rang again, and “snap,” he hung up again!

“He isn’t answering my call either!”

“I’ll try!” Another person began dialing–Wang Hao again “snap,” hung up!

At that moment, Cheng Dequan reminded Wang Hao, “Little Wang, this is an important time; can you set your phone to silent?”

Wang Hao: “Oh, sure.”

Set to silent.

The fourth person dialed, hung up! The fifth person dialed, hung up… The thirty-eighth person dialed, hung up!

Everyone went insane: “What is this author thinking?! Why isn’t he answering any calls?! The rights to this book must be secured! It’s our future hope!”

Detective Conan is produced by Golden Cloud Animation; there’s no hope for that. But this “Dragon Ball,” whatever happens, we must secure it!

“Try again!” Everyone present dialed simultaneously, and this time it was a busy signal…

“What on earth is going on!” Everyone was beating their chests and stomping their feet, such a fantastic work! The plot is simply divine! Just acquiring the rights and refining it a bit would unquestionably make it a masterpiece! A masterpiece that all comic lovers would treasure!

Forget about declining physical sales, forget about the era of smartphones; all that can go to hell! By the time this book is released, the first edition has to print at least a million copies!

But damn it, we can’t get through on the phone!

“Everybody, stop!” Cheng Dequan spoke up at this point, “Fighting over it like this isn’t the way. How about this–let Director Guo contact him alone, at least that way we’d all have a clue!”

Everyone looked at each other and nodded their heads; it had to be this way, otherwise, continuing this way, no one would benefit. As long as the call gets through, it would then simply be a matter of who offers the higher price.

“I’ll give it a try,” truth be told, Director Guo was also nervous. He took out his phone, then switched it to speaker mode, and Cheng Dequan even moved the microphone close to the phone’s speaker.

So, the dialing began.

“Doo doo doo–” after three rings, the call actually connected!

Guo Wending: “Hello, are you the great demon king who commands the sun?!”

Sitting two seats away from him, Wang Hao: “That’s me, Director Guo, hello!”

The people present looked at Guo Wending, then at Wang Hao…

Guo Wending checked his phone then looked at Wang Hao, “May I ask if you are…”

Wang Hao: “It’s me, Director Guo, hello! I’m Wang Hao. I’m right beside you. Look to your right, yes, two people over…”

Everyone at the scene looked at Guo Wending, then at Wang Hao…

Then everyone went crazy!

“Damn it! This book is also by Wang Hao! How is anyone supposed to compete?!”

“I can’t even, I’m going to cry! There goes our chance! This book is also his! Golden Cloud Animation is going to skyrocket now!”

“It’s over, no chance left! They have their own animation company, we might as well switch careers! One company, two masterpieces, what are we even doing here?!”

“Maybe I should just sell my company tomorrow; there’s no market left…”

All the competitors turned to look at Lin Xiaoyun, who was sitting there looking anxious…

That was it, the industry’s biggest dark horse had appeared. One company, two masterpieces, “Detective Conan” was already sold out, and now here comes another! There was no way to survive this!

After all, the cake was only so big, and now her company was going to take half, leaving the rest for so many other companies to divide…

Then, from the stage, Guo Wending cautiously asked Wang Hao, “Mr. Wang, are you the ‘Daytime Devil’?”

“Yes,” Wang Hao smiled, “That’s me. This ‘Dragon Ball’ is also our company’s creation. You all can forget about the copyrights, but to be honest, ‘Domestic Agent’ is a great film and could be adapted into a great comic book…”

At this, the whole audience was thrilled!

Adapting ‘Domestic Agent’ was one thing, establishing a relationship with the incredible Wang Hao was the real prize!

The crowd was pumped!

“Chairman Wang, how much are you planning to sell the adaptation rights for ‘Domestic Agent’ for?!”

“Name your price, Chairman Wang, however much it is, we’re all ears!”

“Well…” Wang Hao thought for a moment, then shook his head, “Actually, it really won’t work, oh dear, the series is too short, how much should I ask for…”

At this, one person nearby was completely shocked!

He never imagined Wang Hao could be this powerful!

“Brother Hao, please, have mercy!” the man pleaded sweating like a waterfall, no longer daring to stand there, he hurried to Wang Hao’s side and spoke timidly: “Please spare me, I really do want to sell the rights to my book…”

Wang Hao turned and looked at him, saying, “Now you know?”

The man nodded desperately, “I know, I know!”

Wang Hao said, “Write your books well in the future and don’t look down on people for no reason!”

“I understand, I really do!” the man nodded hurriedly, then carefully sat down to one side and remained silent.

“Brother Wang truly is a dragon among men, a young genius, incredible!” Cheng Dequan said with a smile, “Brother’s high-quality works are undeniable. Since we have this chance today, could you say a few words to everyone?”

“Say a few words?” Wang Hao thought about it and immediately nodded, “Okay, I’ll say a few words!”

Wang Hao was about to speak!

Seeing that Wang Hao really agreed, all the big names at the animation festival sat up straight, pulled out their notepads, and got ready to take notes. Their expressions were as devout as elementary school students listening to a teacher explain basic arithmetic!

“Hello everyone, my name is Wang Hao, Chairman of Golden Cloud Animation,” Wang Hao began, holding the microphone and slowly smiling, “Speaking of which, I actually came today just to make a brief appearance, didn’t plan on speaking, so I really didn’t prepare a speech.”

Below, everyone nodded in agreement; it was clear this guy really had been thrust into the spotlight at the last minute, but the more spontaneous, the better the insights would be, as everyone was tired of the usual bureaucratic talk.

“Mr. Wang Hao, could you please simply tell us how you managed to create such high-quality works?”

“Yes, yes, yes, we want to hear that, after all, no development trend is as important as good content, right?”

“Master Wang Hao, give us some solid advice, we’ve heard enough empty words!”

“Want something solid?” Wang Hao scanned the room, smiled and nodded, “Okay, let’s talk about something substantial. Today’s topic will be how to create a good work!”
