Hong Kong Island Comic Master

Chapter 457 Unfounded Worry

"...

Seiya, they are all brave young men!

Seiya, the warrior of tomorrow!

Seiya, just like Pegasus!

Seiya, spread your wings now!

......"

Coming out of the bedroom, Zhong Chuhong found Li Wannian sitting on the sofa watching TV.

In his seriousness, he completely ignored that his son was drawing facial makeup on his face with a watercolor pen.

Sure enough, dad takes care of the baby and is fine as long as he is alive!

"Little ancestor, what are you doing? Wannian, is this how you look after your children?"

He quickly came to the sofa in the living room and picked up his son from the carpet. At this time, his son's face could be described in one word, that is... colorful!

"Hey, what are you doing?"

In the past, when Zhong Chuhong scolded Li Wannian, he would respond immediately.

But this time, Zhong Chuhong didn't wait for Li Wannian's response for a long time, so she looked over curiously and found that Li Wannian was still watching TV intently.

"Huh? What?"

Finally, Li Wannian came back to his senses and looked at Zhong Chuhong with confusion.

"You...why are you watching so seriously? Cartoons?"

At this time, Zhong Chuhong also turned to look at the TV and found that a cartoon was playing on the TV.

"You take a cartoon so seriously, and it's actually a TVB cartoon?"

"It's neon animation!"

"So what? Don't wireless stations always broadcast neon animations?"

Faced with Zhong Chuhong's confusion, Li Wannian did not continue to explain, but continued to watch the TV.

"Forget it, I'd better wash the child! It's so dirty!"

Seeing that Li Wannian looked distracted at the moment, Zhong Chuhong was too lazy to pay attention to him anymore, so he carried the child to the bathroom, leaving Li Wannian still sitting there, looking at the TV with lowered eyebrows.

In fact, let alone Zhong Chuhong, no one in the entire Hong Kong Island takes the radio station playing neon animations seriously, not even the radio station itself!

Over the years, wireless stations have fallen behind in the competition with Phoenix TV. The most important thing is that the children who once watched Li Wannian's animation have grown up, and many of them have even started families and have children of their own.

Coupled with the death of the older generation, the number of users of wireless stations began to shrink due to time-driven upgrading. On the contrary, the number of users of Phoenix Station was increasing and its market share was also expanding.

As for ATV, it had already begun to decline before the Qiu family sold its shares to the Lin family, and now its market share is almost less than 15%.

Naturally, wireless stations do not want to follow in the footsteps of ATV, so they are trying to save themselves from all aspects.

Don't tell me, as their three-blade ax chopped down, the effect was actually quite good.

Among them, the cartoon part mainly introduces neon animation, which has taken away part of Phoenix TV's share.

Wireless stations actually started introducing neon animations more than ten years ago.

However, after the effect was not obvious at that time, Wireless Channel reduced its expenses in this area, resulting in them not being able to introduce a few neon animations a year, which was not enough to defeat Phoenix Channel's dominance in the animation market.

So, they broke the pot and completely gave up on this market. Although the TV producers in the station were still working hard on production, they had little money, so they couldn't produce any good works, so they could only stay there. on one's last legs. However, with the beginning of last year, wireless stations discovered that young talents can control the future of TV stations, which made them pay attention to the youth market again, so they spent huge sums of money to purchase the latest and most popular animations from Neon.

Needless to say, it actually worked!

And this "Saint Seiya" is one of the best!

The animation "Saint Seiya" is adapted from the comic of the same name originally written by neon cartoonist Masumi Kurumada. It was produced by Toei Animation and began broadcasting in December 1986.

As for the original manga, it was serialized in "Weekly Shonen Jump" in December 1985.

In fact, Li Wannian also wanted to copy this comic at the beginning, but he had too much work at the time and had no time to draw it.

Later, Li Wannian also considered recruiting the author Masumi Kurumada to "Weekly Shōnen Century". However, Masumi Kurumada had serialized comics in "Weekly Shōnen Jump" as early as 1974, and her relationship with Shueisha was not at all Li Wannian can dig it out!

In fact, although Li Wannian has been very diligent in collecting the wool of Neon Comics, his family is really a big business. Even though he is so busy, his family is still very rich. There are still "Fist of the North Star", "Lucky Boy", " Excellent comics such as "Saint Seiya".

Therefore, after Li Wannian relied on his own efforts to resist Neon Comics throughout the 80s, when he was about to enter the 90s, Neon Comics still relied on its scale advantage to spread into Hong Kong Island.

Maybe to others, this is a trivial matter, but to Li Wannian, this is not a trivial matter.

Because this represents a signal, that is, the neon comic industry has sounded the clarion call to launch a counterattack.

"It's over, are you still watching?"

After an unknown amount of time, Zhong Chuhong walked out of the bathroom with her clean son in her arms. She saw Li Wannian still sitting on the sofa watching TV. The cartoon on the TV had ended and commercials were playing.

Obviously, Li Wannian was not watching TV at all at this time.

"Huh? Oh, it's over!"

Only then did Li Wannian react and switch the TV station to Phoenix Channel.

"You, you have been worried since just now. What happened?"

Zhong Chuhong, who had finished his work at this time, sat next to Li Wannian with his son in his arms and said with concern.

"It's nothing, I'm just worried that Hong Kong's comic industry will be impacted by neon!"

"What's this? Isn't it always a shock? What's there to worry about?"

"Forget it, I can't explain to you, what happened to the "Oolong Yuan" incident?"

"It has been signed. With our insistence, Zhu Yanping couldn't object at all. He just delayed it for two days and finally signed the contract reluctantly."

Speaking of this, Zhong Chuhong recalled the signing scene, especially Zhu Yanping's expression that made her laugh.

"He has something to gain from this, it's just a little less, what's the reluctance?"

At this point, Li Wannian sighed and continued: "Humans, they are always fighting for the little profit in front of them!"

"You are always worried about things that haven't happened yet!"

At this time, Zhong Chuhong tapped Li Wannian's tight brow with her finger.

"Okay, okay, I'm not worried!"

Seeing Zhong Chuhong comforting himself, Li Wannian smiled back and stretched out his right hand towards Zhong Chuhong.

"Hey, what are you doing? The child is still here!"
