Hong Kong Island Comic Master

Chapter 144 Two Comics
"Huang Yulang wants to surrender?"

Li Wannian, who was reading a stack of comic manuscripts, raised his head in surprise.

"That's right, but I think it might be a delaying tactic!"

Sitting in Li Wannian's new studio, Li Wanshui carefully looked at the surrounding environment.

This is his first time coming to Li Wannian's new studio.

Li Wannian's assistant team has been expanded again, and the number has been expanded to five people at once. The original apartment is completely insufficient.

Therefore, Li Wannian bought a villa in Kowloon Tong as his own painting studio.

Surrounded by trees and shaded streets, this place has a suburban feel. However, with the completion of the subway at the end of the year,

Car, transportation here will be very convenient.

I have to say that working in such a large villa is quite unique.

"Mr. Li, I'm sorry, there is no coffee in the studio, only tea!"

Zhong Chuhong brought tea to Li Wanshui.

"It doesn't matter! I just want to try Nianzi's tea too!"

After taking the tea cup, Li Wanshui didn't drink it in a hurry, and asked Li Wannian, "Nianzi, what do you think?"

"Removing the possibility is his tactic to delay the attack. Huang Yulang has never been a person who would give up easily!"

Although Li Wannian has never met Huang Yulang until now, judging from Huang Yulang's experience in his previous life, how could a person who wanted to continue his business after being released from prison surrender now?
"Then what are you going to do with him?"

"Deal with him? No need to deal with him! I have a lot of things to do, how can I have time to deal with him?"

After saying that, Li Wannian lowered his head again and continued to read the comic manuscript in his hand.

Seeing what Li Wannian said, Li Wanshui said nothing more. After all, this was his own business, and it was inconvenient for him to overstep his authority.

"Jin Wen, there's nothing wrong with this comic, but are you really sure you want to draw the Three Kingdoms?"

After reading for a while, Li Wannian put down the comic manuscript in his hand and asked Zheng Jinwen beside him.

"I've thought about it! I'm really not very good at storytelling, so let's start with adaptation!"

Zheng Jinwen, who has been with Li Wannian for two years, is now much calmer, but his words were quite firm and were obviously well thought out.

"You should think clearly, after all, Hengshan Guanghui's "Three Kingdoms" is the most precious one!"

Although Kouki Yokoyama is not well-known in China, he is indeed a very famous comic master in Neon. His works include giant robots, ninjas, history, comics with super powers, detectives, racing cars, girl comics and other themes. He is a versatile cartoonist.

"The Combination of Six Gods - King of Thunder" that Li Wannian watched when he was a child is the most inconspicuous of all his works!
Of course, if we want to talk about the most influential themes in his works, apart from "Iron Man 28", they are historical themes!
Among historical comics, he created a large number of Chinese historical comic series, including: "Historical Records", "Heroes of Chu and Han", "Legends of Yin and Zhou Dynasties", "The Long March" and so on.

Yes, you read that right, a neon man actually drew a comic of "The Long March", and the key point is that he was pretty good at it.

He adapted it from the work of Okamoto Ryuzo and described that magnificent history through the perspective of Huang Liangcheng, a poor tenant who joined the Red Army. Although it is not as passionate and interesting as the entertainment comics, the plot is basically consistent with the original work and there is no trace of it. The distortion and smearing are really commendable.

As for the most influential work among his historical comics, it is undoubtedly "Three Kingdoms" created in 1971.

This comic, which has been serialized for 15 years, has been published in 60 volumes, and has sold 5000 million copies, has set off a wave of "Three Kingdoms fever" in Neon. It can be said that the obsession of later generations of Neon people with the theme of the Three Kingdoms is closely related to Hengshan Guanghui's this comic. "Three Kingdoms" has a lot to do with it.

Faced with such a classic comic, Zheng Jinwen actually wanted to face hard steel, which is commendable for his courage, but the difficulty can also be imagined. "Because of this, I want to draw even more. Why should our Chinese story be drawn by a neon man?"

Seeing that Zheng Jinwen had already said this, Li Wannian could not object at all and could only nodded.

"Okay, but let's start with the ugly words. If your work is not interesting and exciting enough, I will cut it in half!"

"Of course, don't worry!"

After receiving Li Wannian's affirmative reply, Zheng Jinwen showed a bright smile on his face.

"Congratulations, Brother Zheng!"

"Brother, you are great!"

At this moment, the tall Youxiang suddenly stood up and came to Li Wannian with a stack of original drawings in his hand.

"Teacher, I also created a comic. Could you please take a look?"

As soon as Ao Youxiang said this, he immediately attracted the attention of other assistants in the studio.

Since Ma Rongcheng and He Zhiwen "graduated", Zheng Jinwen has become the oldest one among all assistants.

What's more, he also won No. 1 in the first comics competition.

With such achievements, people are still with Li Wannian, who has studied hard for two and a half years, so his serialization is highly anticipated.

And what about Ao Youxiang?
He is just a "newcomer" who has only been here three months. In terms of qualifications, let alone Zheng Jinwen, even Niu Lao and Qiu Fulong cannot compare.

With such a restless mind, what qualifications does he have to serialize?
Therefore, when they saw Ao Youxiang acting like this, some of the assistants present were scornful and envious, but no one was happy about it.

But Youxiang turned a deaf ear to everyone's reactions, and kept looking at Li Wannian.

"Okay, let me take a look!"

Li Wannian didn't feel much about this. Any qualifications were just a cloud. Being able to draw good comics was the king.

Li Wannian picked up the original painting and took a closer look, and found that there were three big characters "Wulongyuan" written on it.

He actually drew it?
Li Wannian was very surprised when he saw this comic.

Last month, when Li Wannian was chatting with Ao Youxiang, Li Wannian accidentally mentioned it. Unexpectedly, Ao Youxiang actually wrote it down and drew it according to his own ideas.

Like the classic comic in my memory, the Wulongyuan in front of me is also a classic four-frame comic, telling interesting anecdotes about four masters and apprentices with different personalities, practicing martial arts behind closed doors while challenging the world.

Master Changmei, Fat Master, Senior Brother, and Junior Brother are all drawn by You Xiang with different and vivid expressions.

As for the story itself, it's equally wonderful and laugh-out-loud.

After reading it, Li Wannian smiled and said: "The painting is good, enough for serialization!"

As soon as these words came out, Ao Youxiang was naturally overjoyed, while the assistants around him all had extremely rich expressions on their faces, and they didn't know what they were thinking.

Regarding the crowd's reaction, Li Wannian said: "I still say that, no matter who it is, as long as they can draw good works, they can be serialized!"

Li Wanshui on the side didn't say another word from beginning to end, but when he saw Li Wannian's high-spirited look at this moment, he suddenly understood why Li Wannian didn't care about Huang Yulang.

When the work of any of my assistants is enough to defeat you, what qualifications do you have to make me care?
