Hong Kong Island Comic Master

Chapter 149 Provoking Discord
"Ding dong! Ding dong!"

A rapid ringing of the doorbell woke up Mayongcheng, who was concentrating on painting.

"Who?"

Ma Rongcheng, who was disturbed, replied casually, but found no one answered.

In desperation, Ma Rongcheng had to get up and walk towards the door.

This slightly shabby-looking apartment was rented by Ma Rongcheng as a studio. The address was in the same building as Li Wannian's studio.

As for the original studio, He Zhiwen rented it first.

I have to say, that guy started really quickly.

In fact, if you want to talk about Ma Rongcheng's current income, it is definitely a lot. Among Li Wannian's assistants, he can also be called No. 1.

The writer signing system of "Two-dimensional Youth Magazine" is similar to that of "Teenage Magazine". Except for a certain reduction in sales volume requirements, everything else is similar.

At present, his "Heroes of China" has been serialized for less than a year, and he signed a golden contract. He can get at least 5 Hong Kong dollars in one month.

In August, after I am promoted to platinum contract, my monthly income is estimated to reach 8.

You know, this was 1979, and even 50 years later, most people would not be able to earn a million dollars a year!
And this is just a small amount of money, the real bulk of their cartoonists' money is in single books!
Therefore, he is not short of money at all now and has money to rent or even buy a better house.

But that studio has a special meaning to their assistants, and it is a beautiful memory of their hard work.

Therefore, everyone wants to rent it there, as if just renting that studio can become Li Wannian's successor!
Therefore, when Ma Rongcheng learned that He Zhiwen rented the house, his thought was: I am obviously the eldest prince, why should he sit in this position?I should be the one to inherit the throne from my father!
Li Wannian: I regard you as my friends, but you actually treat me like my son?
With a click, Ma Rongcheng opened the wooden door inside, and a strange face appeared behind the security door.

"you are?"

Seeing that he did not recognize the other party, Ma Rongcheng immediately increased his vigilance.

Since his "Heroes of China" began to be serialized, his popularity has also begun to skyrocket, attracting many fans.

Naturally, many fans gave him "kind" greetings.

There is no way, who asked him to write the protagonist Hua Yingxiong so miserable!

It is simply a lone star of evil spirits!
He was obviously very skilled in martial arts, but his two masters, his wife and his daughter died one after another.

If this were to be published on the Internet in future generations, which reader would be able to endure such abuse of the author?This work has already been sold out!
"Okay, Mr. Ma, please introduce yourself. My name is Qi Yunjie!"

Across the security door, the gentle-looking man outside introduced himself.

"It was you?"

Ma Rongcheng had naturally heard of the name of this "General Manager of the Royal Forest Army".

"I've already introduced myself to my home, but Mr. Ma doesn't invite me in?"

Ma Rongcheng was not afraid of what the other party would do to him, so he opened the security door.

Qi Yunjie walked in and looked around Ma Rongcheng's studio.

"I didn't expect that Mr. Ma, who is already a famous cartoonist, would still live such a simple life?"

"What do you want to say?"

Ma Rongcheng frowned, feeling very uncomfortable after listening to Qi Yunjie's words.

"Two-dimensional magazine is still too harsh on great contributors like Mr. Ma. Talents like you need better treatment!"

After hearing Qi Yunjie's words, Ma Rongcheng seemed to understand the purpose of his visit, but he pretended not to know.

"What better treatment? Are you trying to persuade me to join you?"

"Hahaha... of course not. How can a temple as small as ours accommodate a giant Buddha like yours? I mean, don't you want to go it alone?" "Go it alone?"

Qi Yunjie's words really surprised Ma Rongcheng.

He originally thought that the other party was here to recruit him to join the Jade Dynasty, but he didn't expect that the other party actually wanted to make him the boss.

"That's right, it's better to be controlled by others than to make one's own decisions. Now you're saying that Potian is just a part-time worker, so how can he feel comfortable being his own boss? With your talent, it's easy to start a magazine, and you'll definitely earn more than you do now!"

Qi Yunjie obviously came prepared.

It's not that he doesn't want Ma Rongcheng to join Yulang International, but he knows himself. Why should he give up the promising Two-dimensional magazine and go to Yulang International where the sun is setting?

Such advice is completely useless.

Therefore, if you want to break Li Wannian's right-hand man, you must come up with a bargaining chip that can seduce Ma Rongcheng.

What could be more tempting than being your own boss?
Due to Hong Kong Island's unique geographical and cultural environment, people have a fanatical idea of ​​being their own boss. Countless people from all walks of life want to be their own bosses, regardless of whether they are suitable or not.

The comics industry is no exception!

"Since being the boss is so good, why shouldn't you?"

Ma Rongcheng did not show the excitement Qi Yunjie imagined, but asked Qi Yunjie very calmly.

"How can I have such a great talent like you?"

Qi Yunjie's words were obviously modest.

As the general manager of the Royal Forest Army and in charge of all the comic assistants of Yulang International, Qi Yunjie did not only rely on his status as Huang Yulang's disciple.

His painting ability and ability to control the entire work are among the best on Hong Kong Island!
"I think you do. Do you want you to join me? Let's set up a new company together?" Ma Rongcheng stared at Qi Yunjie and smiled.

"I'll forget it! I won't hold you back anymore!"

Faced with Ma Rongcheng's proposal, Qi Yunjie decisively declined.

Back then, as Huang Yulang's neighbor, he lived in poverty and was often helped by Huang Yulang. Therefore, he was so loyal to Huang Yulang that even in the original time and space, Qi Yunjie never left him even when Huang Yulang was in prison.

Until Huang Yulang was released from prison, Qi Yunjie made a comeback with him!
Of course, as for the subsequent breakup between master and apprentice, that is another matter!
At least for now, Qi Yunjie has never thought of betraying Huang Yulang.

When Qi Yunjie said these words, Ma Rongcheng certainly knew what Qi Yunjie was thinking, so he sneered, "General Manager Qi is really loyal!"

"No, I'm really just out of my ability!"

But at this time, Ma Rongcheng didn't believe Qi Yunjie's lies at all.

"You, Qi Yunjie, are allowed to be loyal, but I, Ma Rongcheng, are not allowed to have other intentions? Qi Yunjie, it is too clumsy of you to sow discord! Let me tell you, even if you, Qi Yunjie, betray Huang Yulang, I, Ma Rongcheng, will not leave the teacher's side !”

Every word Ma Rongcheng said was categorical, leaving no room for error.

"Mr. Ma, you misunderstood! In fact, I..."

"Okay, I think we have nothing to talk about, so let's go!"

Ma Rongcheng didn't give the other party a chance to continue talking and directly issued an eviction order.

Seeing that there was no way he could do anything, Qi Yunjie stopped staying any longer and really turned around and left.

He came in a hurry and left in a hurry. Qi Yunjie stayed here for a short time and then left. This really made Ma Rongcheng feel strange. Is the other party really jumping over the wall in a hurry?Otherwise, why do such useless work?

However, I can’t do nothing!
