Hong Kong Island Comic Master

Chapter 224 The future is bright

"There are basically no problems with your manuscript, and it is Mr. Li's original work. It should be able to pass the serialization meeting easily!"

"Thank you so much, Ah He!"

In a cafe near Two-dimensional magazine, Mr. Niu drank coffee with a young man sitting opposite.

"No matter where we are, no matter what our relationship is, I will definitely do my best!"

This young man's name is Zheng Jianhe. Like Mr. Niu, he is also from the "Shangguan family".

At that time, the fierce battle between Two-dimensional and Yulang Company was in full swing. The third brother's "Good News" was in decline. People were moved, so they jumped to Two-dimensional magazine together with Mr. Niu.

However, he did not have the talent and luck of Niu Lao to become Li Wannian's disciple, so he gave up being a cartoonist and became an editor in a magazine.

Since the two had similar backgrounds, they had a good relationship during "Good News", so Mr. Niu immediately found Zheng Jianhe after completing the original drawing.

"Anyway, I still want to thank you. Now among the editors in the group, I only know you!"

Before DreamWorks went public this summer, a large number of departmental adjustments were made, and Two-dimensional magazine was no exception.

After adjustment, Two-dimensional magazine has four groups, namely:
One group is responsible for "Two-dimensional Boys Weekly", the second group is responsible for "Two-dimensional Youth Weekly", the third group is responsible for "Two-dimensional Girls Weekly", and the fourth group is responsible for "Two-dimensional Information Station".

Most of the editors who came from the Shangguan family were divided into the second group, and Zheng Jianhe was the only one left in the first group.

"By the way, this comic of yours should be more suitable for youth magazines, right? Why would you want to serialize it in a Shonen Weekly?"

Niu Lao's "Rogue Teacher" is full of social issues such as young and dangerous boys, gangs, school bullying, school education, etc. Logically speaking, such a large scale should be more suitable for youth comics.

"I thought so at first, but the teacher said that I didn't understand the comic. It took me a long time to understand that these social problems are just superficial, and the real core is salvation!"

"save?"

"That's right, although Zhong Yingji's behavior is absurd and his behavior is different, his heart as a teacher is real! In Zhong Yingji's eyes, there is no difference between good and bad study. This is what many students hope for. Deep in our hearts, we hope What is important is a teacher who values ​​the spiritual growth of students, and Zhong Yingji does it, so he is the best teacher!"

After listening to Mr. Niu's words, Zheng Jianhe touched his chin, thought for a moment and then said: "It seems that Mr. Li's pattern is bigger than I thought, but that's okay. With the guarantee of Mr. Li's original work, at least the work can be guaranteed." The lower limit, then you have to paint well and strive to be a blockbuster, just like He Zhiwen!"

"I don't want to be He Zhiwen, I want to be Mayongcheng or Aoyouxiang!"

Having said this, Mr. Niu puffed up his chest and his eyes were shining.

Zheng Jianhe understood what Mr. Niu meant. He didn't want to be a painter all the time, but wanted to be able to draw his own stories.

Hey, it’s great to have ideals. So what if I were to be a painter all the time?That's Li Wannian's painter!
How many people want to kneel down...ah, I don't think there is such a way yet!

"I support you! Come on, great cartoonist!"

"Hahaha, but I still need you, the editor, to help me!"

"That's absolutely no problem. As outsiders, we will naturally stick together!"

Zheng Jianhe's words made Mr. Niu frown, "Did they bully you?"

"That's not true, but intrigues are inevitable. You know the workplace! Even in "Good News", there are many such things!"

Since Li Wannian's apprentices come from all walks of life and from all over the world, although there are small groups, they are relatively not serious, especially since Niu Lao died relatively early, and those who are more senior than him have gone to draw comics, so as a temporary " He is a "big brother", and the juniors will not bully him.

But Zheng Jianhe's situation is different.

The magazine where he works has many seniority rankings, and the internal factions are even more complicated. They can be roughly divided into veteran faction, latecomer faction and outsider faction. Each faction has various small factions within it.

A magazine with just over 100 people can be divided into more than a dozen small groups, and the relationships are very complicated.

Therefore, Zheng Jianhe is not as lucky as Niu Lao! "Thank you for your hard work. I'll ask you for a drink another night!"

"Hahaha, it's not that serious. Two-dimensional has the highest salary and is the industry leader. What does this difficulty mean? When you become famous and I become your editor, who among them will look down on me?"

Thanks to Two-dimensional magazine's leading position and profitability in the comics industry, the salary of the magazine's editors is not only much higher than that of their counterparts in the comics industry, but even in the entire newspaper industry on Hong Kong Island, the salary They are all among the best!
"That would be great!"

"However, I have made a note of your drink, but it will have to wait until after the serialization meeting. It will be your celebration drink!"

"Lend your auspicious words!"

After walking out of the cafe and saying goodbye to Zheng Jianhe, Mr. Niu came to the roadside and planned to take a taxi back to his home.

Today he and Li Wannian asked for leave in order to come to the magazine. Now that things ended early and it was rare to rest, he planned to go home and have a meal with his family.

Although I used to make money as an assistant, how could I make money as a cartoonist?

Thinking that he could earn tens or millions in the future, his heart felt hot!
Mr. Niu's family is very poor. The family of five people live in a public house of several tens of square meters in Lantian Village. He and Liu Dehua are neighbors, but they are not in the same building, and the two do not know each other at this time.

In fact, at this time, most people on Hong Kong Island are crowded into such public housing, so it is very normal who is the neighbor.

Therefore, Mr. Niu made a wish since he was a child. If one day he could make a lot of money, he would buy a luxury home for his family and no longer have to live in such a public housing!

Now, this wish seems to be getting closer and closer to me!

Just as Niu Lao was thinking about a bright future, a private car stopped in front of Niu Lao.

"Old Niu?"

"Old... teacher?"

The rear window rolled down, and the person who came was not Li Wannian, but a middle-aged man wearing glasses.

The reason why Mr. Niu calls him teacher is because he is Mr. Niu's mentor Mo Junyue.

When he joined the Shangguan family at the age of 13, although Shangguan Xiaobao was his master, it was Mo Junyue who really led him.

"Long time no see, Mr. Niu!"

"Yes, teacher, long time no see!"

"Now that we have met, would you like to have dinner together?"

"This...is not appropriate, is it?"

Niu Lao looked troubled.

"Why, you have a good future and you have forgotten me, an old man?"

"how could be?"

"Then get in the car!"

After saying that, Mo Junyue moved her butt in and made room for Veteran Niu.

When Mr. Niu saw this, although he was very reluctant, the situation prevented him from turning around and leaving. So after thinking for a moment, he opened the car door and got in.

Then the car started again, and soon merged into the traffic and disappeared!
