Hong Kong Island Comic Master

Chapter 59
August 1978, 8, Qixi Festival.

On the busy streets of Tsim Sha Tsui, a thin figure squeezed through the crowd.

"Borrow it, borrow it, be careful with boiling water!"

Zhou Xingxing, who was carrying a Shinigami Ichigo schoolbag, moved around in the crowd and ran into an electrical appliance store.

"Welcome light...it's you!"

The moment Zhou Xingxing walked into the store, the salesman lying behind the glass cabinet was about to say a welcome speech. When he saw it was Zhou Xingxing, he immediately swallowed back the words he said.

"Awei, are you disappointed to see me?"

"Hmm!"

This salesman is none other than Zhou Xingxing’s good brother Liang Chaowei.

Liang Chaowei finally dropped out of school last year because his family was very poor.

He originally worked as a newsboy in his uncle's grocery store, but it used to be part-time and now it's full-time.

However, the life of his uncle's family was not easy after all, so this year, he went out to find a job on his own and came to this electrical appliance store to work as a clerk.

The salary is much higher than that at his uncle's grocery store. Not only can he support himself, but he can also subsidize his family's income.

"You actually said such things to me, it really chills me!"

Zhou Xingxing pretended to have an exaggerated expression and covered his heart.

"Don't be ridiculous, or you'll scare away all the customers in my shop!"

"Guest, are there any customers in your shop?"

Zhou Xingxing turned around and looked around. There was no one else in the small store except him.

"Stop being so verbose, just stand outside and watch your TV!"

Liang Chaowei was too lazy to pay attention to him and gave him a blank look.

"Will you go too?"

"I went to look at the store for you?"

"You're stupid, can't you tilt the TV and see it?"

In this way, Liang Chaowei finally couldn't withstand Zhou Xingxing's insistence, and tilted the TV set facing the outside 45 degrees toward the glass display cabinet.

At this time, the TVB children's program "Jumping from a Plane" was hosted by Sunny's brother. The name of this program was taken from the popular game of the same name among Hong Kong children at that time, "Jumping from a Plane", which was broadcast in February 1976.

Later in 1982, it was replaced by the new program "Shuttle 430".

Yes, it was the "430 Shuttle" that was hosted by Zhou Xingxing, Liang Chaowei, and even Lan Jieying in front of the TV later.

Although there was no one in the store at this time, there were four or five children standing outside the store. They looked about 10 years old and were watching TV intently.

As a result, after adjusting the angle, Liang Chaowei directly chose to change the channel!
"Hey! What are you doing?"

Liang Chaowei's actions immediately aroused the dissatisfaction of the children outside the door!

"Go, go, what's there to see here? Let me show you something good!"

Zhou Xingxing's expression and tone made him sound like a weirdo whose parents had always warned him not to talk to him.

However, although they were scared, they had TV to watch and were reluctant to leave, so they could only stay where they were, neither standing nor walking!
"It rained all night
It's good weather when you get up early

I dreamed of you again last night

our happy game

It's all my fault

Blame yourself for being too careless

Can't find your address
But Dad has to go to the post office
......"

At this moment, the music from the TV attracted the attention of the children.

It’s actually a cartoon!
Sure enough, compared to live-action children's programs, cartoons are more lethal to children.

But what the hell is the Phoenix TV station logo?Why have I never heard of it?
Phoenix TV is officially the newly revised version of Jiayi TV. The new logo is two fiery red phoenixes intertwined, which is taken from the meaning of "Phoenix Nirvana".

Today is the first day after Jiayi's revision. Brand-new programs have been continuously advertised as early as the revision a few days ago.

This is also the reason why Zhou Xingxing specially went to Liang Chaowei's store today, because they are looking forward to the broadcast of the same animation.How did the children know that there were so many inside stories? They just thought that this song was so good!
This song "Hurry Up Tell You" was actually not sung by Li Wanyue, but by Jiang Peili.

After all, this gentle style of music is not suitable for Li Wanyue, who sings rock music, but Jiang Peili is more suitable.

This song not only attracted the children's attention, but Liang Chaowei and Zhou Xingxing no longer struggled with the children at this time, but looked at the TV.

"...

tell you quickly

Understand some truths
The most important thing between friends is friendship

My heart is with you
My heart is with you! "

As the music ends, a logo with a smiling face of the sun appears on the screen, with the words "Animation City" written underneath.

"It's started, it's finally about to start!"

Zhou Xingxing shouted excitedly in his heart.

"Travel through the wonderful animation city and take you to watch interesting animations. Hello everyone, I am your sister Dudu!"

On the screen, the person hosting this program at this time was Zheng Yuling, a new actress from Jiayi TV.

Because her nickname is Dudu, she just used it.

Although Zheng Yuling is very beautiful, how can these children care about this?

What does it mean to be a pretty girl?Are there any good cartoons?
They had already been attracted by the animation mentioned by Zheng Yuling, and they hated this young lady who kept doing it.

All I can say is that children will be children after all, and they will definitely regret it when they grow up!
"Pokémon"?What animation is that?
Compared with this group of confused children who have never read comics, Zhou Xingxing and Liang Chaowei obviously know more.

After all, they are old players who have been buying Pokémon cards since two years ago!

Although both of them had no money at home, after seeing that a card could be sold for 100 mosquitoes, why did they care about this?
So although the two of them lived frugally, they also contributed all their little pocket money to DreamWorks.

Today, Liang Chaowei still has more than 300 pieces, and Zhou Xingxing has more than 600. However, compared to Zhou Xingxing's large number of low-level Pokémon, Liang Chaowei not only has a lot of high-end Pokémon, he even sold a dozen of them, not only did he not lose money , but I still made money!

European emperors and African chiefs continue to do so.

Regardless of whether they make money or lose money, after two years of collecting cards, they have become loyal fans of Pokémon intentionally or unintentionally and follow Pokémon comics.

Now, after learning that the Pokémon animation is going to be broadcast, I am naturally even more excited!

"Okay, now I won't talk nonsense. Please watch the animation!"

After talking nonsense for almost 5 minutes, Dudu Zheng Yuling finally announced that the animation had started.

As the screen went black, a bunch of energy balls representing the Pokémon's attributes flashed quickly, and a crisp voice sounded.

"Pokémon, I'm going to catch you!"

Then, exciting music sounded.

"Try your best, go, go, go, go, go

listen to me quietly

Laugh, laugh, laugh, laugh, laugh, laugh

Increase your skills

Dance, dance, dance, dance, dance, dance
Flash for evolution

Just scream as hard as you can without speaking.

Dance as hard as you can, come along
YE-YA YE-YA YE-YA YE-YA YE-YA YE-YA
In fire, in water, or in my bag

The earth and the sky are also controlled by me (Pikachu~~)

Please exercise your bravery and be able to travel in the starry sky together

It’s always hard work, but my wishes won’t be dashed in an instant.
Traveling together on a journey to a distant place is not guaranteed to have a map

I will be proud of you as your power gradually increases (you want to become the leader of the elves)
Let’s go to distant places together and search the world map

To know which one is more capable
......"
