Hong Kong Island Comic Master

Chapter 337 Fengyun Comics
  "Which martial arts tournament did Wukong use his feet to perform the turtle style Qigong?"

"The 23rd edition!"

"Where is the first area drawn for 'Bik Day'?"

"Xidu District!"

"Okay, time is up!"

A fierce competition came to an end. Chen Baixiang, who was the most tired on the field, could not rest at this time and had to continue: "Gu Tianle answered 5 questions correctly, Chen Jiawei answered 3 questions correctly, Gutian Le won, and he won the last promotion." A spot in the finals!”

The one-on-one PK competition used in the semi-finals allows for topic selection. As expected, Furuta Raku is an expert in shounen comics. He passed all the way, won three battles and won three victories, and successfully entered the finals.

There are three people in the finals, one is Gu Tianle, one is the young editor of "Sing Tao Daily", and the other is the fat middle-aged man named Jiang Zhengfeng.

It can be regarded as a competition between three generations of young, middle-aged and young people!
  There was another break between the semi-finals and the final. It was not long, probably only more than ten minutes.

However, it is necessary to do this. After all, the program has been recorded for more than three hours, and the audience in the audience is already tired.

Li Wannian was okay at this time. After all, he usually spent much longer than this sitting and painting.

Where is this?
  Therefore, he had no intention of getting up to rest. Instead, he was chatting with the two disciples beside him.

"How is Chen Shaomei's work lately?"

"It's pretty good, no worse than the male assistant at all, and she's more attentive!"

It can be seen that He Zhiwen is really satisfied with this female assistant.

"Huh? Female assistant?"

Ma Rongcheng on the side heard the keyword and immediately became interested.

"Yes, the teacher chose a female assistant for me this time, and I am really satisfied!"

"Teacher, this is a bit unfair to you. He Zhiwen is single, and so am I!"

"Go away! Are you still short of girls by your side? Don't harm these female assistants anymore!"

What Li Wannian said was true. Now the two students around him are both wealthy men. It is not easy to find a girlfriend!
  "But I've never seen a female assistant like this before. She sounds just like a female secretary..."

Speaking of this, Ma Rongcheng suddenly thought that Li Wannian's girlfriend Zhong Chuhong had been Li Wannian's secretary. If he said so, it might be a reflection, so he quickly shut up, fearing that Li Wannian would think too much.

Fortunately, Li Wannian did not take it seriously, but continued: "Don't bring trouble to these female assistants, they are the future of Hong Kong girl comics!"

After talking about Ma Rongcheng, Li Wannian looked at He Zhiwen again and continued: "You too, train that Chen Shaomei well. Don't you want to transform? Cultivate Liu Yunjie and Chen Shaomei in your hands, and you can do whatever you want. What are you doing!"

"Teacher, don't worry, my two assistants are indeed very good. I estimate that after training them for another two or three years, they will be able to serialize!"

"Well, actually, if I weren't too busy and didn't have time to draw girls' comics, I would really like to train them myself!"

After hearing this, He Zhiwen realized that Li Wannian valued them so much, and he became even more concerned about these two assistants!
  "Teacher, I will work hard to train them!" He Zhiwen said solemnly. "Rongcheng, you have to work hard. The only assistant you have now is Liu Dingjian?"

"Yes, although his painting ability is average, he is very good at stock market structure. I now give him a lot of content for "Heroes of China" to conceive!"

After hearing this, Li Wannian nodded, and then suddenly thought of something, "Do you want to draw new comics?"

Ma Rongcheng didn't expect that Li Wannian was so sharp that he discovered his thoughts, so he nodded quickly and said: "Yes, I have been painting "Heroes of China" for seven years, and I plan to finish it in one year at most!"

Compared with other comic magazines, the best thing about [-]D Magazine is that it is much smoother for cartoonists to complete their works than in ordinary magazines.

For other magazines, if they have a hit movie in their hands, how can they easily finish it?

Then why not serialize it for decades and squeeze out the last remaining value of it?
  For example, Huang Yulang's "Dragon and Tiger Gate" and Shangguan Xiaobao's "Bruce Lee" have been serialized for more than ten years, but they are still far away from completion.

Later "Bruce Lee" was completed in 2009, and after "Dragon and Tiger Gate" was serialized in 2000, Huang Yulang re-drawed "Dragon and Tiger Gate" and renamed it "New Work on Dragon and Tiger Gate". As a result, it continued to be serialized until Li Wannian's sudden death, and it was not finished!

This is not only true for Hong Kong Island, but also for Neon and Omi’s comics!

Whenever you encounter a fat sheep, you can pluck out the sheep's wool, and you won't stop until you pluck it into Geyou!
  But this is not the case with Li Wannian. Although the magazine is very profitable, it is still a small amount of money compared to other industries.

In Li Wannian's plan, the Second Dimension Magazine should be an IP incubation base. The works incubated from here will be more profitable when adapted into animations, TV series, movies, and games!
  Therefore, instead of leaving the work unfinished until it is unfinished, it is better to finish it in the best possible condition, which will also allow the cartoonist to devote more energy to the creation of the next comic.

As for the works he creates are not as good as before, that doesn’t matter, since Li Wannian is there anyway!
  As long as he is here, [-]D Magazine will never lack good works!
  "Is there any new comic currently in development?"

"A little bit, this time I want to create a comic with two protagonists. With just one protagonist, the plot that can be written is a single line, which is a bit too little!"

When Li Wannian heard this, he immediately became interested. Could the comic about the two protagonists be "Wind and Cloud"?
  The reason why Ma Wing-shing is known as the "God of Hong Kong Comics" is indispensable to the comic "Wind and Cloud"!

If "Heroes of China" is Ma Rongcheng's famous work, then "The Storm" is his pinnacle work!
  The Hong Kong comic that Li Wannian first came into contact with in the original time and space was "The Wind and Cloud". There are countless famous scenes and jokes in it that are still enduring even twenty years later.

"that's it?"

"Yes, the main focus at the moment is still on "Heroes of China", there is just a general framework here!"

"Okay, if you have any ideas for new comics recently, you can tell me!"

Li Wannian couldn't help but feel a little regretful when he saw that Ma Rongcheng hadn't fully conceived the idea yet.

"Thank you, teacher!"

Ma Rongcheng naturally believed in Li Wannian, and Ma Rongcheng was naturally grateful that the teacher could take time out of his busy schedule to discuss the plot of the new comic with him!

"Welcome back, the peak moment of tonight will be next, the finals of "Second Dimension Knowledge Competition" are about to begin!"

The few people chatted for a short time, and the program recording resumed again. As Chen Baixiang said these words, the last moment of tonight's program was about to begin.
