On the 27th of December, the day before the National Manga Festival, Chen Ze and Lin Lan took a plane to Beijing.
Chen Ze had never been to Beijing, the capital of China for hundreds of years, whether it was in his previous life or this life. Therefore, Chen Ze, who was sitting in the car now, was very curious about Beijing.
Unfortunately, the fog in Beijing had been quite heavy recently. Chen Ze sat in the car and looked out the window, but he could not see any scenery. All he could see was a gray sky.
"I wonder what the Lotte Society is up to this time?”Lin Lan said as she sat beside Chen Ze.
She was the boss of the new animation magazine and was also invited this time. However, she did not want to come, but since Chen Ze wanted to come, she had no choice but to accompany him.
"Who cares what he's up to? We'll deal with whatever comes our way.”Chen Ze said as he looked out the window.
Their car soon arrived at the hotel. Lin Lan had already booked the hotel in Georgopol. There were two single rooms, and they were very close to each other.
Chen Ze entered one of the rooms. After putting his luggage away, there was a knock on the door. He opened the door and saw Lin Lan standing at the door.
"Let's go. It's not easy for us to come to Beijing. Let's go out for a walk today.”Lin Lan said.
It was also her first time in Beijing, even though she couldn't let go of the matter of the Lotte Club. However, what Chen Ze said was right. Since they were already here, they could just deal with whatever came their way.
Thinking of this, she felt much more relaxed. She even wanted to take a few rounds around Beijing.
"The magazine agency will cover the expenses!" Chen Ze smiled and said," That's a good relationship. I'll be right there after I pack up."”
Chen Ze quickly packed his luggage and followed Lin Lan out of the hotel.
Speaking of Beijing, the most famous one was of course the 600-year-old Imperial Palace. This scenic spot that was famous both at home and abroad was the first choice of Chen Ze and the others.
"The scale is really magnificent. I didn't expect the ancient people to be able to build such a complex.”After arriving at the Imperial Palace, Lin Lan looked at the scene in front of her and exclaimed.
"Of course, the Imperial Palace is the political and economic center of China's 600-year-old dynasty. It's the gathering of all of China's wisdom and power.”Chen Ze smiled.
He was usually more interested in these things. Although he had never been to Beijing, he had some understanding of the Imperial Palace. As Lin Lan's tour guide, he began to introduce the place to her.
"Lin Lan, look, these are the so-called Three Great Palaces.”Chen Ze stood outside Tai He Gate and pointed at the buildings inside.
"Inside the Gate of Supreme Harmony is the center of the Outer Court, located in an open courtyard of more than 30,000 square meters. Taihe Hall, Zhonghe Hall, and Baohe Hall were collectively called the Three Great Halls. These three halls were the main buildings in the Forbidden City. They were different in height and shape, and the roofs were also different. They were rich and varied, but not rigid.”
"Young man is right."
Just as Chen Ze was introducing the three palaces to Lin Lan, a man in his fifties appeared beside him. He had a pair of sharp eyebrows and a high nose bridge. It could be seen that he must have been a handsome man when he was young.
Although there were many wrinkles at the corners of his eyes, they did not ruin his temperament. Instead, they added a different flavor to his face.
"Well said. It seems that you have some understanding of the Imperial Palace.”He smiled and said," However, the Imperial Palace is 600 years old. It's not as simple as it looks.”
"Back then, after the founding ancestor of the dynasty successfully raised his army to suppress the opposition forces of the previous dynasty, he specially invited the world-famous physiognomist, Master Chunguan, to build this imperial palace in order to seal the dragon veins in the world.”
"Now we see that the so-called dragon vein is just nonsense. However, Scholar Chunguan, as the number one wise man, knew this. He built this palace because he wanted to take advantage of the situation.”
"Back then, the dynasty's founding ancestor was powerful. Those who followed him would prosper and those who opposed him would perish. Scholar Chunguan understood the times and was ordered to build the imperial palace for the founding ancestor. It lasted for more than 20 years and was said to be able to protect the dynasty's foundation for 10,000 years, but in the end, it did not escape the 300-year calamity.”
"Even so, Scholar Chunguan managed to ensure that he and his descendants would have endless wealth. This is the result of following the general trend. Everything in the world did not follow this Great Dao. Those who followed it would prosper and those who opposed it would die!”
"And you are?" Chen Ze said hesitantly. This handsome old man suddenly appeared in front of him and said such a great thing. It seemed like he was hinting at something. However, Chen Ze thought about it carefully and realized that he did not know him.
Lin Lan was also frowning. She seemed to have seen this person somewhere before, but she couldn't remember where.
"You don't know me, but I know you.”That person smiled and said," You are Chen Ze, the fastest rising artist in China today. You are the most popular newcomer to the manga, and you are the artist of the popular manga, Slam Dunk.”
"I remember now. You're, you're Lee Myung Sang!”Lin Lan suddenly thought of something and said.
Li Mingyang? Chen Ze was shocked when he heard these three words. It was actually him!
He was the number one man in China's comics industry, a man who could crush the entire Chinese comics industry with his name alone.
He was the highest-selling comic magazine in China!
He was the holder of the highest sales volume of Chinese comics!
The total sales volume holder of Chinese comics!
The highest sales volume holder in China!
The highest viewership ratings holder for Chinese manga adapted animations!
The box office holder of a movie adapted from a Chinese comic!
The highest sales volume holder of Chinese comic merchandise!
Just one person had contributed countless wealth to China. Even the country's top leader had said that Li Mingyang was not only a treasure in the comics world, but also a treasure in China.
Li Mingyang was the absolute number one person in the Chinese comics world. No one was even close to him.
Chen Ze understood how terrifying he was just by looking at his records. This was simply the combination of Akira Toriyama, Oda Eichiro, Inoue Takahiko, and Mitsu Anda. How could other cartoonists play with this?
Even Chen Ze, who had been reborn with countless comics, did not dare to say that he could reach his level. Sometimes, Chen Ze even wondered if Li Mingyang was a reincarnator like him.
As the boss of the magazine agency, Lin Lan knew better than Chen Ze how scary he was. Back then, the number one manga club, Afterseason Club, was even more powerful than the current Lotte Club, but they were defeated by Li Mingyang, who was still a newcomer at that time. Countless top gods 'confidence was destroyed by Li Mingyang. Such a huge entity seemed to have disappeared overnight.
As a small magazine, Lotte Society had become the largest one with the help of Lee Myung Sang.
Such strength truly caused Lin Lan to feel a little terrified. However, she had discovered Chen Ze. Based on her woman's intuition, Chen Ze had a talent that surpassed Li Mingyang. Otherwise, the Lotte Club wouldn't be so anxious to strangle him in the cradle.
However, why would Li Mingyang suddenly appear here and say such words? This made Lin Lan instinctively feel that something was wrong.
"It's me!" Li Mingyang smiled." I heard that you're here to attend the National Manga Festival. Believe me, as long as you are willing to go with the flow, you will definitely gain a lot this time.”
"What does he mean?" Lee Mingyang left after saying that. Chen Ze frowned and looked at Lee Mingyang's back.
"I think, maybe?”
Lin Lan was a little hesitant. Hearing the meaning behind Li Mingyang's words, she thought of a very bad situation.
