Hong Kong Island Comic Master

Chapter 366 Slam Dunk Master

The earliest new comic magazine in mainland China is the semi-monthly comic magazine "Picture Book King" founded by Mr. Wang after his retirement in 1993.

This comic magazine not only serializes Neon's latest comics, but also new comics drawn by mainlanders themselves, such as "Jiang Ziya", "New Story Painting", "Peach Club" and other comics.

Although these mainland comics still have obvious traces of comic strips and the style of painting is slightly outdated, they are an important symbol of the start of China's new comics industry.

The first issue of the magazine was printed with 2 copies, and they were quickly sold out. Additional printings were urgently made, and more copies were printed. The sales volume is still in short supply.

The highest-selling issue even reached 55 copies, and in less than a year, the total circulation reached more than 400 million copies.

Unfortunately, it was stopped after only 24 issues were published.

The reason was that the cartoons in the magazine contained bad ideas and were urgently stopped.

It is said that the comic is "City Hunter".

Well, I understand everything...

Having learned from the past, Li Wannian naturally made the subject selection of this new magazine a top priority.

Fantasy themes are not allowed, bloody themes are not allowed, marginal themes are not allowed, etc...

After this selection, there really weren't many themes left for Li Wannian to choose from.

Therefore, Li Wannian chose...

"Quick! Pass the ball!"

"Defend, pay attention to defense!"

"Three points, beautiful!"

In front of Li Wannian, there was a unique basketball game, but these people were all high school students.

The place where Li Wannian was at this time was Foshan Sports School.

This is a sports school that was founded just two years ago and was built on the basis of the amateur sports school in the city center.

It is located on the bank of Fenjiang River and connected to the beautiful Xiuli Lake of Zhongshan Park. It is a secondary sports professional school that cultivates outstanding athlete reserve talents and sports professionals.

Li Wannian came here naturally to examine the life of students in mainland sports schools in this era.

There is no doubt that the comic Li Wannian finally chose was "Slam Dunk"!

The reason why Li Wannian passed "Slam Dunk" in the first place was mainly because basketball's mass base in Hong Kong Island is very poor, and it is difficult to hold competitions like football to make reality conform to comics.

But now that he can come to the mainland to draw comics, Li Wannian has found another way, which is to localize "Slam Dunk" in the mainland, and put the basketball story that originally took place on the Neon Campus in a mainland sports school. make sense.

After all, the essence of what readers love about "Slam Dunk" is the fierce competition, the fighting spirit that never admits defeat, and the passionate story!

"Mr. Li, how do you feel?"

President Ding was accompanying Li Wannian and still said with that same smile that would last forever.

Li Wannian glanced at President Ding, who was smiling beside him, and was very surprised. The other party's energy was greater than he thought, and he actually arranged his schedule in such a short period of time.

"It's very good. Although the conditions are not very good, the basic skills are very solid. It can be seen that everyone is training very hard!" Based on Li Wannian's two-day inspection, although limited by funds, teachers and other reasons, today's sports schools have various Conditions are very poor.

But I have to say that the students of this era are really hardworking. Although everyone does not have enough to eat, the positive temperament on everyone's face can be infected by Li Wannian.

"Hey, the main reason is that the current government is really in trouble and can't create a better environment for the children!" President Ding couldn't help but sigh.

Hearing this, Li Wannian's heart moved and he suddenly said: "How about this? When our magazine is launched later, the profits I get can be used to set up a foundation to help children across the country develop their basketball careers! "

Li Wannian's words made President Ding couldn't help but take another look at him.

Such a level is really too high. After all, such a noble and upright person is really rare. The key is that he is still so young!

In fact, it’s not that Li Wannian’s consciousness is high. In fact, in the next ten years, the money he can earn in the mainland will only amount to tens of millions for a year. The key is that he can’t take it out in these years, so he can only keep it in the mainland.

Therefore, Li Wannian might as well spend this money to build a good reputation for himself and earn more money in the future.

In short, with Li Wannian’s words, President Ding has more room for maneuver!

On the other side, after Li Wannian inspected the situation of sports schools in mainland China for three consecutive days, he finally had a problem with it.

After returning to Hong Kong Island, I began to think about how to draw "Slam Dunk".

There are still a few months until next year, enough for Li Wannian to prepare first.

In Li Wannian's writing, the story of "Slam Dunk" took place in Foshan in the 90s.

The protagonist Yingmu is a track and field student who has just been promoted to Foshan Sports School. Because he is two meters tall and only 16 years old, he is noticed by teachers from several other subjects and wants to draw him to his side. 's class.

Originally, Yingmu didn't particularly like sports. For him, this was just a job for him to earn a living, not a hobby.

However, after confessing to a girl for the 50th time and being rejected, he fell in love with a girl named Mu Qingzi, but she liked basketball, so he decided to play basketball too.

So Yingmu joined the school basketball team and met many teammates and friends.

Mu Tiezhu, Haruko's brother, team captain Mu, height 203cm, serves as center;

Liu Chuanfeng, Haruko's crush and Hideki's lifelong enemy, is 196cm tall and plays the role of small forward;

Gong Cheng, who was also rejected by women and also had a crush, was 178cm tall and worked as a point guard;

Shan Jingshou, a genius who has lost his way, is 188cm tall and plays the role of shooting guard.

In this way, the "Foshan Five Tigers" gathered together, and just like that, their legendary basketball journey began.

It can be seen that Li Wannian has increased the height of these five people. After all, this is the mainland, not Neon. Even a group of student players aged 16 to 18, with the height in the original work, would not be able to mix in the sports schools in the mainland. Get down!

After determining the background of the comic, the entire comic story was too simple for Li Wannian. The characters could just be copied from the original work.

After that, Li Wannian made some modifications to each character's image, and soon drew the original draft of the first episode.

Next, as long as the law is implemented next year and the other party has reviewed their comics and there are no obvious problems, the comics can be serialized in mainland China smoothly.

In addition, comics can also be serialized simultaneously on Hong Kong Island and Neon, and the background does not need to be changed. After all, during this period, whether it was Hong Kong Island, Neon, or other places, there was still a curiosity about the mysterious mainland.
