Hong Kong Island Comic Master

Chapter 279 Employment Pressure
Li Wannian's alma mater, Gezhi Academy, is now a well-known secondary school in Hong Kong Island.

Due to the presence of Li Wannian, an alumnus of the school, the school has appeared in many popular cartoons such as "Little Football Team" and "Parasite". As a result, children on Hong Kong Island are familiar with the name of Gezhi Academy.

In addition, thanks to Li Wannian's funding, the school's painting specialty class is ranked first in Hong Kong Island.

By this year, the students in the first batch of specialty classes have reached the age where they are about to graduate.

As graduation approaches, the increasing pressure to study further means that graduating students have less and less time to rest, let alone extracurricular activities.

In this way, the only physical education class has become an important short break for them.

"Ah, I can't do it anymore, you guys go ahead and kick me!"

The fat Wen Riling panted slowly from the court to the off-court, and sat down on the bench on the sidelines.

After a while, classmates Xu Jingchen and Liu Yunjie also came off the stage and sat next to Wen Riling.

"Fei Hao, can you do it?"

"That's right, how long has the fight lasted?"

The words of the two made Wen Riling couldn't help but said angrily: "Come on, you two are kicking the ball, what about me? I am being kicked! Is it easy for me as a goalkeeper? Curve shots one by one, tiger shots, Is that a shot? That's a shot at me!"

Speaking of this, Wen Rili became angry.

Although Li Wannian's "Little Football" has ended, its popularity has not dissipated much. It has been widely circulated among children in Hong Kong Island and inspired their enthusiasm for playing football.

Of course, they also learned all the skills in the second grade and thought it was very cool to shout and play like this. As a result, the football fields on Hong Kong Island campuses almost turned into murderous footballs!
"Okay, okay, let me rest for a while! I'll tell them later, it's too much!"

"Forget it, football is not suitable for me, I'd better go back to reading comics!"

Wen Riling had no interest in playing football at this time and just wanted to go back and read comic books.

"Are there any new comics recently?"

"Without the new manga, can't I take out Naruto and read it again?"

"Don't tell me, Naruto's fight is so beautiful! I heard it sells very well in Neon!"

"Fighting is second, the main thing is that there are so many things that can be learned here, such as that wide-angle composition!"

"Yes, and using black to focus on the key points of the picture is really a very practical technique for comics!"

"That's right. Every time Mr. Wannian changes a comic, he will show some unique techniques for drawing comics. It's really amazing!"

When talking about majors, a few people naturally talked endlessly.

What they call wide-angle composition is actually a special composition effect formed by using thin lines to describe the blank space when painting the background, plus some fisheye perspective effects.

Applying this kind of painting technique to comics is a very novel technique in this era. Therefore, when "Naruto" began to be serialized, it naturally attracted endless discussions among these professional students.

"Hey, Mr. Long Live is so awesome! When can we draw such a cartoon?" I don't know how long they had been discussing, but Liu Yunjie suddenly leaned back and couldn't help but sigh.

As a few of the better students in the painting specialty class, who doesn’t take Li Wannian as their role model?

It’s no wonder that nowadays, any child who can draw will be praised by their parents: “My child, you are so awesome, draw well, learn how to draw comics and make a lot of money in the future!”

These poor children have been forced to learn painting by their family members since they were young. Their parents don't even think about how many people in the world are learning painting, but how many of them are Li Wannian?
What's more, is Li Wannian's core competitiveness in painting?
But it's a pity that every parent feels that their child is the protagonist, not the NPC!The result is that not only the children are in pain, but the parents are also in pain because their children's development is not as good as expected!

"By the way, what are your plans after graduation this year?"

Xu Jingchen on the side also asked at this time.

The three of them are similar in age, are in the same class, and have similar interests, so they have a very good relationship.

“Send your resume to Two-dimensional magazine!”

"Yeah, for people like us who want to learn painting, where else can we go besides DreamWorks and Two-dimensional?"

Nowadays, in Hong Kong Island, whether it is the comics industry or the animation industry, Li Wannian's company cannot be bypassed.

After all, whether it is Two-dimensional Magazine, DreamWorks, or Shenlong Animation Company, they are all leaders in the industry. Not only do they have high salaries, but they also have broad development prospects.

As for other companies, they are all small businesses. Not only are the salaries low, but they are also precarious. No matter what kind of graduate they are, they will not be the first consideration.

"You think, should we also submit to Two-dimensional? Long live when we were our age, we had already started drawing "Dragon Ball"!"

"Brother, are you still awake? Are you comparing yourself to Long Live? How hard are you thinking about it?" Xu Jingchen, who was on the side, couldn't help complaining after hearing Wen Ritu's words.

"I think what Fei Liu said is right. Don't say Long Live, didn't Ma Rongcheng, He Zhiwen and others also start submitting articles at our age?"

Liu Yunjie disagreed with Xu Jingchen's words.

"Even they have great talents! How can we compare? Moreover, have you noticed that they have all been assistants to Long Live?"

"Nonsense, they are all Imperial Guards, who doesn't know?"

The idea of ​​Long Live Lord's Imperial Guard has spread from cartoonists in Hong Kong through newspapers and other media. Nowadays, every comic lover knows this idea.

"So, if you want to submit a manuscript, you probably have to be Banzai's assistant first, right?"

"Isn't this more difficult than going to Two-dimensional magazine to serialize comics?"

I don’t know since when, there has been a saying in the entire Hong Kong comics circle that if you want to become an excellent cartoonist, the first step is to start as an assistant.

Some rumors are even extremely exaggerated, saying, "Long live a golden hand. If you click on it, you will be able to fully realize it and open up the two channels of Ren and Du..."

Although everyone knew these words were false as soon as they heard them, they couldn't help but adhere to the principle that they would rather believe what they say than what they don't!
Therefore, it is also very difficult to be Li Wannian's assistant now, and the degree of involution is no less than submitting an article to Two-dimensional magazine.

"Hey...oh my god, what should I do?"

Xu Jingchen rubbed his already messy hair irritably.

"Hey!"

"Hey!"

Liu Yunjie and Wen Riling on the side also sighed together.

As graduation approaches, these children who have no worries about food and clothing are finally beginning to face employment problems!
