Hong Kong Island Comic Master

Chapter 332 Female Assistant

Chapter 332 Female Assistant

After the bus arrived at Causeway Bay Station, a thin girl squeezed out of the bus.

The girl was ordinary-looking, wearing black-rimmed glasses, and her messy hair looked unkempt. She was looking at a residential building not far away and tightened the strap of her backpack that was strung across her body.

After taking care of herself briefly, she breathed a sigh of relief, and then walked towards the high-end residential building with firm steps.

When she came outside the gate, before she could go in, she found three people walking out of it. The girl recognized the identity of one of them at a glance, and it was He Zhiwen.

"Teacher, thank you so much these past few years!"

After walking out of the door and about to say goodbye, Dick bowed deeply to He Zhiwen.

Among these three people, apart from He Zhiwen, the other two are his assistants Dick and Liu Yunjie.

"You're welcome, you're going to become a cartoonist next, and you have to serialize comics well!"

Looking at his eldest disciple, He Zhiwen was filled with emotion and quickly helped him up.

Just some time ago, the comics drawn by Dick successfully passed the serialization meeting of the Second Dimension Magazine and will soon be published in the "Second Dimension Girls Weekly" to start his serialization journey.

For these assistants, no matter how long you work, you can only graduate if you can actually serialize comics in a magazine!

Only serialization can be regarded as the carp leaping over the dragon gate and starting one's real life as a cartoonist.

Today's era is completely incomparable to a few years ago.

When the two-dimensional comic magazine first came out, there were not many outstanding cartoonists. Basically, as long as your ability reached a certain level, it was a matter of course for you to serialize comics in the magazine.

However, in recent years, with the growth of a large number of young cartoonists, competition in serial comics has become very fierce.

Not only do you need to go through layers of screening, you also need to have good ideas and draw comics that are eye-catching.

In comparison, the competition among girls' comics is relatively small, but even so, Dick worked as an assistant for three years before he finally succeeded in having a comic that could be serialized in "Second Dimension Girls Weekly".

However, for cartoonists, serialization is only the first step in a long journey of thousands of miles!
  "you are?"

At this time, Liu Yunjie, who was beside the two of them, saw a girl standing at the door.

"Hello, Teacher He, my name is Chen Shaomei. I am an assistant recommended by the magazine. I am here to report today!"

Originally, the girl didn't know when to introduce herself. Fortunately, Liu Yunjie noticed her at this moment and finally gave herself the opportunity to introduce herself.

"Oh, you are Chen Shaomei? Welcome!"

Obviously He Zhiwen had received the news before this.

In fact, He Zhiwen was very impressed by Chen Shaomei because his teacher personally called him and asked him to train this girl well.

Although He Zhiwen didn't know how talented this girl was, he believed in his teacher. His teacher never misjudged anyone!

This is indeed the case, because at this time, no one except Li Wannian knew that this girl would become a famous girl cartoonist in Hong Kong Island in the future. She would later have a famous pen name: Xue Qing!
  At this time, Dick, who was behind He Zhiwen, his eyes lit up when he saw Chen Shaomei, and he whispered excitedly to Liu Yunjie: "Damn, it's a female assistant. I feel like I left early!"

Hearing this, Liu Yunjie couldn't help but roll her eyes at Dick, "How about we switch? I'll serialize the comics, and you will continue to be my assistant?"

"Hahaha, forget it, I'll leave this good fortune to you!" As expected, Dick was just talking about it. He really couldn't bear to give up his bright future as a serial cartoonist and become an assistant again!
  "and!"

Liu Yunjie, who had known that this would be the result, despised his senior brother in his heart.

Although the senior brother is usually a bit unconventional, he is still a very good person. During his assistant career this year, he has taken care of him a lot.

Now, knowing that the other party will have a better future, I still feel reluctant to give up.

At the same time, Liu Yunjie was also sighing in his heart, wondering when he would be able to "graduate smoothly" like his senior brother!
  During this year, although Liu Yunjie was very busy as an assistant, he also learned a lot of knowledge. He obviously felt that his abilities were improving rapidly.

That's the difference between being an assistant and being in school.

Although the studies in school will be more systematic, they are all about honing your painting skills and are only limited to the "technical" level. If you want to serialize comics, these alone are not enough.

If you want to touch the level of "Tao", you need to be taught by real serial cartoonists through words and deeds, or you need to understand it yourself.

Even though Liu Yunjie's own talent is not bad, he still needs to study hard at He Zhiwen!

Chen Shaomei did not expect that on the first day he came to report, a senior fellow student would leave just in time, which made him feel extremely embarrassed.

Fortunately, Dick officially left soon after, and Liu Yunjie also took Chen Shaomei on a tour and introduced the work.

"Honestly, I didn't expect that there would be a female assistant!"

After Liu Yunjie took Chen Shaomei to visit the small studio, he asked Chen Shaomei to sit at Dick's workstation.

"Why, Senior Brother Liu looks down on our female assistant?"

"No, that's not what I meant, it's just that I rarely see it!" Liu Yunjie quickly explained.

Today's Hong Kong cartoonists and female cartoonists are very rare. Take the two-dimensional magazine as an example. There are zero female cartoonists in shounen comics and young adult comics. In girls' comics, the proportion of female cartoonists is only It barely exceeded 50%, and the leader among them was still a man.

As for the situation of the [-]D magazine, it already has a large proportion of women on Hong Kong Island!

If you look at other magazines on Hong Kong Island, this ratio will only be even lower!

“It’s precisely because it’s so rare that someone needs to break this situation!”

Chen Shaomei, who had not spoken much before, suddenly had the courage to answer firmly.

Liu Yunjie was obviously shocked by Chen Shaomei's firm words. He was silent for a moment before speaking: "Okay, then come on!"

"Yes!"

When Chen Shaomei came back to her senses, she felt that she had just spoken rudely, and her face suddenly turned red again.

"Okay, let me tell you about the work we usually need to do!"

Liu Yunjie suppressed his smile and began to seriously explain to Chen Shaomei the things to pay attention to at work.

It has to be said that although Liu Yunjie is only 19 years old now, after a year of work, he has indeed matured a lot and behaves according to rules. This is why He Zhiwen dared to let Dick go.
