Hong Kong Island Comic Master

Chapter 96 It's Impossible
Just one day after TVB announced its animation broadcast plan, DreamWorks also announced its recent broadcast plan.

In January 1979, after the finale of "Chinese Master Chef", the animations that followed were "Bleach" and "Mobile Suit Gundam".

As soon as this news came out, the entire Hong Kong Island was in an uproar, especially the "Death fans", it was more like celebrating the New Year!
After nearly three years of accumulation, the number of "Death fans" in Hong Kong has become very large, especially among young people under the age of 30. The proportion is much higher than that of other comic fans.

For them, they have been looking forward to the animation of "Bleach", and now this dream has finally come true.

In this way, the news released by the wireless station was overwhelmed by the news of the animation of "Death" before anyone even had time to notice it.

"Astro Boy"?
who cares!
All we have to do is watch Death!
Uncle Shao Liu and Fang Yihua were obviously shocked by the recent public opinion. They didn't expect "Death" to be so influential?

The kids around me are all going crazy, right?
"Animation? Okay, great! Hahahaha..."

At this time, Uncle Shao Liu and Fang Yihua looked at Jiro Tsunoda next door, and sighed in their hearts at the same time: Oh, another one is crazy!
That's our competitor, can you be more careful?
"Hey, it's a pity. It would be better if "Parasite" could also be adapted into an animation!"

After laughing, Tsunoda even muttered to himself, feeling sorry for DreamWorks.

Jiro Tsunoda did not realize that there was anything wrong with his behavior. Instead, he still lamented that "Parasite" could not be adapted.

As a cartoonist, although Jiro Tsunoda has also created other types of works, most of them are most famous for horror comics, such as "Horror News" and so on.

Therefore, compared to the young-blooded comic "Bleach", the more realistic theme of "Parasite" touches Tsunoda's heart even more.

After reading the first volume that night, Tsunoda fell deeply in love with the manga.

As for several other comics by Li Wannian, Tsunoda has already finished reading "Gundam" and "Chinese Master Chef". He gave up after reading only one volume of "Hong Kong Island Love Story" and "Pokémon". They were not his cup of tea. !
But after reading so many comics in a short period of time, Tsunoda has been deeply impressed by Li Wannian's talent.

There are so many different types of comics, different painting styles, different types such as passion, fighting, reality, love, cuteness, etc., all of which can reach the top level. With such talent, Tsunoda even thinks that he has surpassed Osamu Tezuka.

"Hey, by the way, how are the arrangements for me to meet with Banzai?"

Speaking of this, Tsunoda thought about meeting Banzai again. At this time, he really wanted to meet Banzai to discuss comic creation.

But when Uncle Shao heard this, his face suddenly turned ugly. He really wanted to send Tsunoda away as soon as possible.

Uncle Shao Liu smiled and said, "President Tsunoda, aren't you in a hurry to get back to Neon?"

"I'm quite anxious, but I can stay for two more days. It's totally worth it to be able to communicate with such a talented cartoonist!"

"Well, as you know, cartoonists are usually very busy, so it's difficult for us to arrange a meeting with you in two days!"

Fang Yihua naturally knew what Uncle Shao Liu meant, so he chose the dragging technique and dragged Kakuda away.

"That's it! Let's forget it!"

Tsunoda said with a disappointed look on his face.

"There will be opportunities in the future. When President Tsunoda comes next time, I will personally arrange it for you!"

Uncle Shao raised his glass and finally smiled again.

However, when the meal was over, Tsunoda said to his translator: "Let's go!"

"Where?"

"Go see Banzai!"

"Didn't President Shao and the others say that Long Live is unavailable?"

"They clearly don't want me to see them!"

Although Tsunoda was dumbfounded, he was not stupid. He had obviously seen the methods of Shao Liushu and others at this moment.

"Why do you say that?"

"As a cartoonist, of course I know the schedule of a cartoonist! If you want time, there will always be a squeeze!"

Just like that, Tsunoda took a translator and took a taxi towards DreamWorks.

"Dingling bell..." A rapid ringing sound suddenly sounded in the quiet studio.

"Hey, you? What? Neon Man?"

Zhong Chuhong put down the phone and came to Li Wannian's side.

"There is a cartoonist from Neon over there in the company who wants to make an appointment with you!"

"Who is this from Neon?"

Li Wannian put down the pen in his hand and said doubtfully.

"The other party said his name is Jiro Tsunoda, the vice president of Insect Production Co., Ltd.!"

"Isn't he someone invited by the wireless station? Why do you want to see me?"

Li Wannian really couldn't understand it now.

"Want to meet then?"

"See you!"

Zhong Chuhong drove Li Wannian to DreamWorks, and just like that, Li Wannian met Jiro Tsunoda, who had come from afar, in the company's reception room.

"Are you long live?"

"Yes, I am long live!"

"How can you be Banzai?"

"Why can't I be Banzai?"

On the way here, Li Wannian imagined countless scenarios when meeting Tsunoda, but he really never thought about the current scene.

With question marks on his face, Tsunoda shook hands with Li Wannian, and then he was still immersed in shock.

"It's impossible!"

After reading the manga of Banzai, Tsunoda had an image of Banzai in his mind.

I think he should be the kind of person who is less than 30 years old and has an unattractive appearance, but his eyes are full of wisdom.

However, when he saw the real person, Tsunoda still couldn't accept it. This is not a cartoonist, he is clearly an actor!
Since when did our comics industry have such good-looking people?

And he's still so young, maybe he hasn't graduated from college yet?
"What does President Tsunoda want from me?"

Sitting generously across from Tsunoda, Li Wannian asked.

"I came to Hong Kong Island and read your comics. I liked them very much and wanted to communicate with you... Do you know Japanese?"

Originally, Tsunoda had already suppressed his excitement, but he realized later that when Li Wannian was communicating with him, he actually spoke Japanese.

And his pronunciation has no accent. He sounds like someone who has been in Tokyo for a long time, not like a beginner at all.

Tsunoda was not the only surprised person in the room. The translator and Zhong Chuhong on the side also looked at Li Wannian in surprise.

"Did I say I couldn't do it?"

In his last life, he studied and worked in Neon for almost ten years. Li Wannian's Japanese language ability is almost the same as that of ordinary Neon people.

"But... isn't this too standard for you?"

"Ah, my talent is great, I can't help it!"

No one expected that when the two cartoonists met, the discussion at the beginning was not about comics, but about language.
