Rebirth of the God of Comics

Chapter 364 Lando Bookstore

After two or three days of adjustments, Chen Ze's time difference was finally adjusted. Up to now, he has basically adapted to the schedule of the United States.

The publishing house that invited Chen Ze and Lin Lan to the United States seemed to know about this situation. Early this morning, they sent someone to their door and brought Chen Ze and Lin Lan to the headquarters of their publishing house in New York.

The publishing house that Chen Ze and the others are cooperating with this time is Lando Bookstore, one of the three major publishing houses in the United States. Literary works, etc., are not only one of the largest publishing houses in the United States, but also a prestigious publishing group in the whole world.

In recent years, due to the great development of the domestic comics industry in the United States, Lando Bookstore has also expanded its business scope to the single volume of comics. He not only publishes and distributes comics in the United States, but also pays attention to the introduction of overseas comic copyrights.

However, in the past, their comics were mainly based on American cartoonists and Western European comics. In Asia, they also introduced Chinese comics like Li Ming, but unfortunately the response in the United States and the entire West was mediocre.

Because of this, Lando Bookstore temporarily gave up the introduction of comic copyrights in China and even the entire Eastern world. They believed that there was a big gap between China and the United States in terms of thinking patterns and behavior habits, and China's excellent comics were not treated well by Americans See.

In this situation, until recent years, comics in the United States and the West as a whole have been quite sluggish. New excellent comics and cartoonists have failed.

Under such circumstances, they set their sights on the East again, hoping to find cartoons and cartoonists in the East to break this predicament. At this time, they noticed Chen Ze.

Chen Ze's talent in comic creation over the years. Let them think that maybe Chen Ze will be a cartoonist who can become popular in the West. Therefore, after assessing the value of all Chen Ze's comics and his whole person, they took the initiative to contact Lin Lan's new animation magazine, hoping to cooperate.

then. This was the trip of Chen Ze and Lin Lan to the United States.

"Mr. Chen, Mr. Smith from our group is already waiting for you and Miss Lin Lan in his office. He asked me to bring you and Lin Lan there as soon as possible."

Inside a black Mercedes-Benz car speeding on New York Avenue, a blond man in his thirties said to Chen Ze and Lin Lan beside him.

However, unlike his typical western appearance, he actually speaks pure Chinese now. Yes. Quite pure, if they covered Chen Ze and Lin Lan's eyes, they would never have guessed that the person speaking would be a pure American.

This person's name is George Johnson, and he is the person in charge of entertaining Chen Ze and Lin Lan at Lando Bookstore this time. He was sent here because he had studied in China for ten years and could speak Chinese quite well.

"Really. We also really want to see Mr. Smith soon, and want to talk to him about this cooperation." After listening to George's words, Chen Ze nodded and said.

This Mr. Smith is the person in charge of the comic copyright publishing business of Lando Bookstore. He came to meet Chen Ze in person. It can be seen that Lando Bookstore attaches great importance to Chen Ze.

After all, although Chen Ze is not well-known in the United States, he is currently the most popular cartoonist in China and even the entire Eastern world.

Chen Ze also knew of Smith's position in Lando Bookstore. Knowing that if his comics want to open the door to the Western world, then his character can be said to be quite the key.

"Mr. Chen, don't worry, there are still about ten minutes before we can reach the headquarters building of Lando Bookstore." George looked at Chen Ze, and he seemed to have something to say, but he swallowed the words a few times went back.

"What's the matter, Mr. George, you can speak up if you have any questions." Chen Ze smiled.

He discovered George's behavior. In his impression, the United States and the entire Westerners can say whatever they want. And George in front of him actually showed this kind of expression unique to oriental people, coupled with his proficient Chinese.

It really made Chen Ze wonder if this guy is a Chinese with a Western appearance, otherwise how could he be like this.

"Since Mr. Chen asked, I'll say it. Actually, I have a small request." George looked at Chen Ze and said, "I really like your comics "Naruto" and "Slam Dunk". Can't sign my name."

As he said that, George actually took out two books from the other side of the car. One is a booklet of "Slam Dunk" and the other is a booklet of "Naruto".

Moreover, these two books are actually in the Chinese version.

Hearing what George said, Chen Zexian was a little surprised. He didn't expect that the person in Lando Bookstore in front of him would be a fan of his own, so he was a little stunned here for a while.

Lin Lan was actually a little dazed, but having studied in the United States, she knew that with the continuous rise of China's economy, a group of Westerners who liked Chinese and Eastern culture also appeared in the United States and the entire Western world.

This George, who can speak Chinese and also likes to read Chen Ze's cartoons, is obviously a representative of them.

Seeing that Chen Ze was still there in a daze, Lin Lan quickly poked him, which made Chen Ze react.

Chen Ze smiled embarrassedly at George, and said, "No problem, I am also very happy to be liked by Mr. George."

After speaking, Chen Ze took the pen and two books handed over by George, and signed his name. When he just debuted, when he held the "Slam Dunk" signing event, Chen Ze practiced his signature very nervously before, so as not to let his fans feel that his handwriting was too bad.

But it's different now. So far, Chen Ze has held several signing events, big and small, and he has practiced signing well and quickly.

With two or three strokes, Chen Ze's name appeared on George's two comic books.

George obviously didn't want to please Chen Ze, but really liked Chen Ze's comics. After Chen Ze finished signing him, he looked at the signature on the book with a happy expression on his face.

"Mr. Chen, I absolutely believe that your comics will become popular in the United States." George looked at Chen Ze and said firmly.

After more than ten minutes, the Mercedes-Benz carrying Chen Ze and Lin Lan finally arrived at the destination - Lando Bookstore headquarters building!

This Lando Bookstore is indeed one of the most prestigious publishing houses in the West, and the whole building is quite grand. Sitting in the car, Chen Ze looked through the window. This building was built in the center of New York, where every inch of land was expensive, with dozens of floors.

The exterior is inlaid with floor-to-ceiling glass, which looks very grand under the sunlight.

"Mr. Chen, Ms. Lin, let me take you up. Mr. Smith is waiting for you two on the sixty-seventh floor." George got out of the car first, and while talking, he led Chen Ze and Lin Lan into the building , walked towards the elevator entrance.

After Chen Ze entered, he looked at the decoration inside the building. There are many books and paintings on the walls. Compared with the appearance, it has a bit more cultural atmosphere, showing the connotation of its cultural publishing house.

"It is indeed a company that has been established for nearly a hundred years. It is really a perfect combination of style and cultural heritage." Looking at the decoration inside, Chen Ze couldn't help but whispered to Lin Lan beside him.

"Companies in the United States and the West have this kind of tradition. Our country's market economy started relatively late. I believe that in another fifty years, there will be such companies with profound cultural heritage." Lin Lan obviously was relatively Learn about American companies.

"That is, I also believe that by then, our magazine office will definitely become a magazine office that is not inferior to the Lando Group." Chen Ze laughed.

After getting on the elevator, it didn't take long to reach the sixty-seventh floor. George took Chen Ze and Lin Lan out of the elevator and brought them to a door. He knocked on the door, and there was a burst of pure English voices from inside.

After the English sound was over, George also spoke, and he also spoke English.

Although Chen Ze didn't understand the conversation between the two, he could guess that the person who spoke inside should be Mr. Smith.

With a creak, the door was opened. Chen Ze hurriedly looked inside, he wanted to see what Mr. Smith looked like.

In the end, Chen Ze froze there, because the person who opened the door was actually a woman in her twenties. This woman has the same blonde hair and blue eyes, and she is quite beautiful.

"This, this is Mr. Smith? No way!" Chen Ze said in his heart. (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to come to Qidian () to vote for recommendations and monthly tickets. Your support is my biggest motivation. Mobile phone users, please go to read.)
