Hong Kong Island Comic Master

Chapter 51
"So, the core audience Mr. Li mentioned is the female audience?"

After listening to Li Wanshui's opinions, Liang Shuyi was a little noncommittal.

Do female viewers matter?Of course it’s important!
Otherwise, Liang Shuyi would not have made popular TV series such as "Frenzy" and "Family Change".

But is it enough to rely solely on female viewers?Are male viewers just giving up?

That doesn't mean giving away half of the market to others.
"Yes! The female market has always been a neglected market. Our company believes that this will be a direction for our efforts in the future!"

Speaking of this, Li Wanshui remembered the joke Li Wannian told him again.

“In terms of spending power, the ranking in the family should be: women, children, dogs and men!”

Although it is extreme to say this, it is very interesting!

"So, this will be the future direction of Jiayi TV?"

"I'm just making a suggestion! I said what if before!"

Although this matter has become a generally accepted secret, Li Wanshui did not leave anything to say.

"In that case, why did Mr. Li tell me?"

"Of course I want to see what Mr. Liang has to say about this?"

"What insights can I have?"

"Mr. Liang is a professional after all. I would like to hear Mr. Liang's opinion!"

"I think the idea is great!"

Then, Liang Shuyi stopped talking.

When Li Wanshui saw this, he immediately understood that Liang Shuyi had rejected his solicitation.

In fact, it is not difficult to understand that Li Wanshui is young and an outsider. He has already planned to interfere in the management of the TV station before he joined the TV station. Such behavior will definitely infringe on Liang Shuyi's interests.

Although the TV station is deteriorating, Liang Shuyi still believes in her own abilities. If it were the young man in front of her, Liang Shuyi would not believe in his abilities even more!

"Really? Excuse me then. Thanks for the exchange with Mr. Liang. I have benefited a lot!"

"You're welcome, me too!"

Seeing that Li Wanshui could not win over Liang Shuyi, he immediately chose to give up.

Originally, he had no hope of being able to convince Liang Shuyi. He only wanted to work hard because he cherished Liang Shuyi's talent. But now it seemed that the other party did not accept the olive branch he offered, so he no longer persisted.

After leaving Liang Shuyi's office, Li Xuelu, who had been following Li Wanshui, said, "Lin Sheng invites you to have dinner at the Peninsula Hotel at noon, why don't we go there directly?"

"That's fine!" Li Wanshui nodded.

He came to the TV station today mainly because he wanted to ask questions and explore the depth of the Jiayi TV station. Now that he knew it, he naturally had no interest in staying any longer.

After all, you still have to talk to your boss about the acquisition!
At the same time, Li Wannian, who was lying on the bed, finally opened his eyes.

He was busy until two o'clock in the middle of the night last night, and it was only now that he slept, which relieved his fatigue a little.

Compared with other cartoonists during the serialization period who could only sleep four or five hours a day, Li Wannian's life was really happy!
Even so, Li Wannian was still not satisfied.

He wished he could have his assistant do all the work for him just by using his mouth.

I have been writing non-stop for two and a half years. The level of hard work is comparable to that of Kun Kun. Why can’t I enjoy it?
But now that the workload has increased, Li Wannian feels that if this continues, three assistants may not be enough!
Because there were no mobile phones in this era, Li Wannian also lost the meaning of staying in bed and got up from the bed soon after waking up.

Li Wannian's studio has two bedrooms and one living room. If placed on Hong Kong Island, it can be regarded as a "thousand-foot mansion"!

If this were placed decades later, why would the price not be tens of millions?

One of the two bedrooms belongs to him, and the other is shared. If the assistants go back late on weekdays, they can stay in that bedroom!

Walking out of the bedroom door, Li Wannian was surprised to find that He Zhiwen was telling Li Wanyue and Lan Jieying something.

"What are you doing?"

"Teacher!" He Zhiwen stood up quickly.

"Brother, you're finally awake! The sandwich Yammie made for you is almost spoiled!"

Li Wanyue became furious when she saw Li Wannian's sloppy appearance.

However, at this time, Lan Jieying pulled Li Wanyue's sleeve, "Xiaoyue, don't say that!"

Li Wanyue gave Lan Jieying a roll of her eyes, "I'm really defeated by you!"

"Really? Thank you, Jieying!" Li Wannian didn't bother to pay attention to their sisters' whispers, but thanked Lan Jieying.

"You're welcome. It's cold now. Do you want to eat it while it's hot? No, I'll heat it up for you..."

Lan Jieying was so nervous that she was a little incoherent.

"It's almost lunch now, so I'd better put it in the refrigerator first, and use it as a late-night snack when I get hungry at night!"

"Then it's not all because someone woke up too late?"

Li Wanyue said unceremoniously from the side.

"Yes, it's all my fault. As compensation, I'll take you out to eat?"

"Yeah! I want a big meal!"

Looking at the happy Li Wanyue, Li Wannian was very suspicious. She had been waiting for him all morning just to have this meal, right?

10 minutes later, a private room in Cuihua Restaurant.

"...Curry fish balls, buttered pig, piglet buns and fish soup noodles, well, that's all for now!"

Li Wanyue read a bunch of dish names eloquently, and then handed the menu to the waiter.

"I thought you were talking about a big meal, but I didn't expect it to be here!"

"It's delicious! Usually it's just me and the band members, so we can't eat much, but now, with so many people, I can order so many different kinds!"

In addition to Li Wanyue and Lan Jieying, Li Wannian also called on three assistants.

After all, you can't go out to eat by yourself, but let the three of them eat instant noodles, right?

Although the salary Li Wannian pays the three of them is not very high, only 2000 ants a month, the treatment given to them is very good, much better than other comic assistants in the same industry in Hong Kong!

This can be proven from He Zhiwen’s words.

"Then you can eat as much as you want today!"

After chatting with Li Wanyue, Li Wannian said to the other three assistants: "You should also eat more today. You will start to get busy in the afternoon!"

Although the level of the three assistants has improved, they are now able to share a lot of Li Wannian's work, which is no longer just putting up grid paper.

In fact, in terms of painting skills, the three of them are already qualified for serialization. It's a pity that none of them have a good story.

After all, comics serve the story!
After explaining, Li Wannian got up and prepared to go to the bathroom first, then walked out of the box door.

At this moment, two people were sitting in the hall outside and saw Li Wannian passing by.

"It's actually him!"

"Who?"

"Long live!"

"He is Long Live?"

One of the men, a dry and thin man, looked at the direction Li Wannian was leaving and took a long drag on his cigarette.
