Hong Kong Island Comic Master

Chapter 36 genius painter
"What's going on? This is Li Wannian, the younger brother of Mr. Li of our company, and he is also a company consultant. You actually stopped him?"

After Uncle He came out, he scolded Zhong Chuhong.

However, even when facing the editor-in-chief of the magazine, the young Zhong Chuhong did not back down at all.

"According to the procedures of the company and the magazine, internal employees of the magazine need to have a work permit to enter. Can't we make an exception just because he is the brother of the general manager?"

"you……"

Hearing that Zhong Chuhong dared to talk back, Uncle He became even more angry.

"Forget it, Uncle He, what Sister Zhong said is fine, go back and help me get a work permit!"

Seeing that the quarrel between the two was getting more and more intense, Li Wannian quickly stepped forward to persuade them.

"Okay, since Wan Nian has spoken, let's forget it. I invited this Li Wannian. Can we go in?"

In fact, Uncle He was not really as angry as he appeared on the surface. The main reason was that he was afraid that the younger Li Wannian would be dissatisfied.

Since he wasn't angry when he saw him, of course he took advantage of him.

"can!"

In this way, Uncle He took Li Wannian into the magazine.

There is a lot of gossip in the office. The quarrel between Uncle He and Zhong Chuhong just now attracted everyone from the magazine to watch.

"What are you looking at? No more work?"

Following Uncle He's words, everyone immediately dispersed from the corridor and went back to their respective offices.

"The little girl at the front desk was so brave. She actually blocked Mr. Li from the door! Chief Editor He had to go and pick him up in person!"

"Hahahaha, this little sister is really brave!"

"However, Mr. Li only comes to the magazine once in a while. No wonder little sister. When was the last time he came? Oh yes, it was the last serialization meeting. At that time, little sister Zhong at the front desk hadn't come yet!"

The editors' chatter all fell into the ears of Editor Huang, who was also in the office.

Editor Huang's real name is Huang Guosheng. He is usually very low-key and doesn't like to talk, but his business ability is very good. Therefore, he was able to successfully pass the assessment of Two-dimensional magazine and become an editor.

Originally, Huang Guosheng was not a gossip, but when he suddenly heard this sentence, an idea suddenly came to his mind, and he quickly took the calendar from his desk.

After Huang Guosheng circled a few numbers on it, his mind suddenly became enlightened.

Because he discovered a pattern. After every serialization meeting, Mr. Li would come to the magazine, and the next day, the final result of the serialization would be announced.

And among these serialization meetings, Li Wanshui actually didn't come once!

What does this mean?
This shows that the person who really decides whether the comic can be serialized is not Li Wanshui, but Li Wannian!
According to Uncle He, the serialization of comics requires Uncle He, Li Wanshui and Long Live to make the final decision. However, Uncle He has always been at the magazine, but Li Wanshui does not participate in every serialization. There is only one answer, the person who can influence the serialization. , is long live!

At this moment, Huang Guosheng had a bold idea: Could this Long Live be Li Wannian?
At this moment, Huang Guosheng felt that his conjecture was flawless, but he was also slightly afraid.

This child is only 13 years old?Could he have painted something like "Death"?
But who else could it be besides him?
Based on the usage of the magazine's fax machine, it can almost be ruled out that Uncle Ho sent the original comic manuscript overseas, and the magazine basically did not send the manuscript back from overseas.

This almost rules out the possibility of Banzai being overseas.

Eliminate all impossibilities, and the result, even if it is impossible, can only be a fact.

Banzai is really just a 13-year-old kid?

On the other side, Li Wannian was sitting on the office chair in the editor-in-chief's office, looking through the comics that had passed the serialization meeting.

"No, their painting skills are pretty good, but the storyline is really bad and not interesting enough at all. How can readers like it?"

After reading it hastily, Li Wannian sighed.Although the comics industry in Hong Kong is developing rapidly, there are still very few people there, and most excellent cartoonists are still monopolized. It is really difficult to bypass them and find outstanding cartoonists!

Putting the comic manuscript on the table, Li Wannian discovered that the author's name, Zheng Wen, was written on the first page of "The Assassin's Biography".

"Who is the author of this comic?"

"Oh, my real name seems to be Zheng Jinwen, and he is a crooked person!"

Sure enough it was him!

Who is Zheng Wen?

He is a talented cartoonist who is known as Wanwan. He is the first Chinese cartoonist to be serialized in Neon Kodansha, the first non-Neon winner to win the Excellence Award, and is praised by the Neon comics industry as one of the 20 He is a "genius, ghost, and extraordinary talent" who is unparalleled in this year and is known as a treasure in Asia. His representative works are "Abi Sword" and "Zheng Wen's Chronicle of the Three Kingdoms".

Recalling Zheng Jinwen who had just come with him, Li Wannian felt that he was really lucky. He didn't expect that he could pick up a treasure when he came to the company!
"He's very good. Although his story is terrible, he's a good painter. He's very similar to me!"

"Yeah! That's why he passed the serialization meeting!"

"By the way, the magazine owner who came with me just now should still be in the editorial office at the moment. He Boqian can go meet him and ask him if he is willing to work as my assistant?"

"Don't you have Xiao Wen and Ma Zai?"

Uncle He was surprised.

"I plan to let Awen participate in this year's comic contest, and I will have one less assistant by then!"

"Can Xiaowen participate?"

Uncle He was even more surprised now!
"Awen's level is not low, we can let him try!"

"Okay, then I'll go meet him!"

As soon as Uncle He heard that it was related to his grandson's future, he was full of energy.

"Boom boom boom!"

At this time, the door of Uncle He's office rang.

Li Wannian immediately jumped down from the office chair skillfully and sat on the sofa nearby. Then Uncle He said: "Come in!"

The visitor is the manager of the company's administrative department, surnamed Wang, introduced by his eldest brother's classmate.

"Editor He, Mr. Li, I'm really sorry. The new person at the front desk is not sensible. I have already told her. In addition, there is a problem with my training. I came here to review it!"

Manager Wang is a good person. What just happened, he immediately came to the magazine from the office next door.

Uncle He did not speak, but looked at Li Wannian.

Manager Wang is from DreamWorks. As the editor-in-chief of the magazine, he has nothing to do with others.

"No, I think Ms. Zhong has done a good job, and there is no problem in following the rules and regulations. I will pay for it as a reward for her dedication to her duties, and you will also be embarrassed!"

"No, no, we can just pay for it from the administrative department, Mr. Li doesn't need to pay for it!"

"Okay, please, Manager Wang!"

"No trouble, I should thank you on her behalf. You are so generous! I admire you!"

After hearing this, Manager Wang was able to confirm that Li Wannian really did not hold any grudge against Zhong Chuhong. What he said before was all true. Now he felt a lot more relaxed. This matter should be over safely.
