Hong Kong Island Comic Master

Chapter 306 Dark Horse Movie
"What does the teacher want from you? What is this?"

As soon as Sun Jiayu came back, Gan Xiaowen, who had been pretending at the table, moved forward curiously, and then saw the comic manuscript in Sun Jiayu's hand, and his heart suddenly felt sour.

Nowadays, the most senior assistants around Li Wannian are Li Zhiqing and Gan Xiaowen.

However, when it comes to their painting skills, the difference between Li Zhiqing and Gan Xiaowen is Sun Jiayu.

Compared with Li Zhiqing, who already has master-level painting skills, Gan Xiaowen's painting skills are simply not worth mentioning.

"The teacher asked me to try drawing this comic!"

"Teacher's?"

"Yes!"

Facing Gan Xiaowen's expectant gaze, Sun Jiayu nodded and admitted.

"Congratulations! Ayu, now you have finally become a serial cartoonist!"

Although it was the same as his guess, Gan Xiaowen didn't feel any joy at all about his guess. Instead, he felt like needles pricking his heart.

Of course, although I was very envious, I still congratulated Sun Jiayu.

Speaking of which, Li Wannian's assistants are relatively united and have less intrigue.

Li Wannian once told them: You have never been opponents, but companions. Whether you are an assistant now or a cartoonist in the future, your opponent is only yourself!

It has to be said that Li Wannian's assistants all keep this sentence in mind, but at this point, how many of them can truly feel calm?
For example, Gan Xiaowen in front of him saw that he had arrived later than him, but now he was about to make his debut. How could he feel so good?

Gan Xiaowen, who was already 22 years old, thought of his teachers of the same age as him and then saw that he had accomplished nothing, and for a moment he even sighed about his future.

Sun Jiayu obviously noticed Gan Xiaowen's unwillingness, so he said: "Senior Brother Xiaowen, actually I envy you very much!"

"Envy me?"

Gan Xiaowen's first reaction was that the other party made a mistake.

"Yes! I envy your talent very much!"

"Pull him down! My painting skills are much worse than yours!"

Gan Xiaowen suddenly curled his lips and said.

Among Li Wannian's assistants, Gan Xiaowen is a special case.

Generally, Li Wannian's assistants are very good at painting. After all, if they were not good at painting, they would not be able to defeat so many competitors and get the top spot.

However, among them, Gan Xiaowen's painting skills are very poor. He cannot be said to be the last one, but he is still among the top three among all previous assistants.

That's why Gan Xiaowen's heart is so fragile.

“But the story you came up with is great!”

Sun Jiayu praised from the bottom of his heart.

"Story? What story?"

"I have seen some of your drafts, they are very exciting! It would be great if I could draw those funny cartoons like you!"

"Is it really that good?"

Gan Xiaowen didn't believe it.

"Yes! Those of us who draw with the teacher's original works are said to be cartoonists, but in fact they are just painters, because the essence of comics is stories, and they are not our comics at all!

Otherwise, Mr. Niu would not have drawn a second comic for so long after finishing "Rogue Teacher", just because he wanted to draw his own comics.

As for us painters, although we can also be successful and faster than many people, the ceiling is also very low. Look at Brother He, no matter how hard he works, whether it is fame, money or status, he is not as good as Brother Ma. of!It's because he doesn't have a work of his own! "

Sun Jiayu's words could be said to be from the heart, and they were also sincere, and Gan Xiaowen had to believe them. "Thank you, Ayu!"

In the end, Gan Xiaowen's thousands of words converged into one sentence of thank you.

"You're welcome, senior brother, if you really want to thank me, invite me to watch a movie another day!"

"Hahaha, no problem, what do you want to see?"

"Of course it's "Li Tianyi's Juvenile Event Book"!"

Sun Jiayu said with a smile.

This "Li Tianyi Youth Chronicle" is naturally the movie starring Zhou Xingxing!

In 1984, when film competition in Hong Kong was fierce, classic films were emerging one after another. However, during the prime time of the summer season from the end of July to the beginning of August, there was not a single film that could make waves.

Ever since, this low-budget film has suddenly emerged and topped the box office charts for two weeks in a row.

Speaking of this work, Kirin Entertainment didn’t pay much attention to it at first.

Although this is a comic written by Li Wannian, it is completely incomparable with those popular comics. After all, how popular can a comic that cannot even be guaranteed to be updated be?
Let’s talk about the cast. Although there is Lam Jieying, a member of the most popular band in Hong Kong, she is just a flower vase and her box office appeal is very limited.

And the leading actor Zhou Xingxing is not only a street actor, but also a TV drama actor.

You know, in this day and age, actors on the small screen all dream of making movies and appearing on the big screen.

why?
Because it means higher income, higher fame, and higher status!

However, such a TV drama actor who can't even understand TV dramas actually starred in a movie that grossed more than [-] million in box office in two weeks.

Everyone was completely confused.

Why?Why is this movie so popular?

Is it just because it’s Li Wannian’s comic?
The answer is of course not!
"Is this movie good?"

Gan Xiaowen obviously hadn't seen it either, so he asked.

"Of course, although I have read the comic, I heard that the film was very good. The leading actor in it can play both Li Tianyi's meanness and Li Tianyi's cleverness. The whole movie is funny, scary, and reasoning. It's really very nice!"

When Sun Jiayu talked about this, he started talking endlessly.

The reason why he was so excited was because Sun Jiayu had participated in the comic "Li Tianyi's Youth Time Book" before.

He liked this comic very much, especially Li Tianyi's reasoning and analysis of the case, which made Sun Jiayu praise him after reading it.

It's a pity that Li Wannian is too busy and cannot guarantee the update of "Li Tianyi's Youth Event Book".

When he heard that the movie was released, he didn't go see it immediately. After all, in his opinion, it was still difficult to restore the comic!

After reading the rave reviews in the newspaper and people around me saying it looked good, I became interested.

Like most comic book fans, they did not watch the movie "The Chronicles of Li Tianyi" when it first came out. Instead, many novice viewers went to watch it and found it unexpectedly good.

After the word-of-mouth fermentation, comic fans also started to read it.

"real or fake?"

Gan Xiaowen didn't believe it.

"Don't you know if you go and see?"

"Row!"

Gan Xiaowen readily agreed!
However, he soon realized, no, he was going to be a cartoonist, shouldn't he treat him?Why did I invite you?
