Hong Kong Comic Master

"Teacher, are you looking for me?"

Sun Jiayu walked into Li Wannian's studio carefully.

"Well, come in!"

At this time, Li Wannian and Chen Weixian were sitting on the sofa in the studio, talking about something. When they saw Sun Jiayu coming in, they waved him over.

Seeing that there were other people in the room, Sun Jiayu was relieved.

It seems that he is not going to criticize himself!

Three days have passed since Li Wannian's birthday dinner.

It must be said that the dinner was a great success for both the host and the guests, except for Chen Weixian who was a little upset.

On such an important day, Chen Weixian could only say "Happy Birthday" to Li Wanyue.

Before he could say the rest of the words in his mind, Li Wanyue was called away again.

In the end, the two of them parted in a hurry, and they have not been able to meet alone again until now.

Therefore, Chen Weixian has been scolded by his parents a lot in the past two days.

However, Chen Weixian did not have time to look for Li Wanyue in the past two days, but kept running to Li Wannian.

"Teacher, what do you want to talk to me about?"

Although Sun Jiayu ruled out the teacher's criticism of him, he was his teacher after all, which led to Sun Jiayu's natural fear of Li Wannian.

There was no way. Compared with other talented brothers, Sun Jiayu's talent was not worth mentioning in front of them.

Sun Jiayu was from Taiwan and was introduced by Ao Youxiang.

Originally, Sun Jiayu planned to be an assistant to Ao Youxiang, but Ao Youxiang's assistant position was full at that time, so Ao Youxiang recommended him to Li Wannian.

After all, only Li Wannian had a constant demand for assistants.

Sun Jiayu is 24 years old this year. Before coming to Hong Kong Island, he worked as an art editor in a media company. In order to realize his dream of drawing comics, he resolutely chose to resign.

However, after becoming Li Wannian's assistant, Sun Jiayu found that there were too many talented people and it was impossible for him to serialize at all!

In fact, Sun Jiayu was still thinking about something else. The assistants here are all the most outstanding comic talents in Hong Kong. It is normal that they cannot compete with each other.

Moreover, his ability to come here also proves Sun Jiayu's own strength.

However, seeing that the assistants who came in with him started serializing one by one, and the younger generation of assistants had already come in, Sun Jiayu felt that he had no hope of serializing, and he became quite depressed.

"Xiao Wen, come and take a look at this comic manuscript. What do you think?"

Just when Sun Jiayu was uneasy, Li Wannian handed him the comic manuscript on the table.

Sun Jiayu took it with both hands and started to read it.

"Four-wheel drive brothers? What kind of comic is this?"

The comic about four-wheel drive cars made by Li Wannian, needless to say, is "Four-wheel drive brothers".

In fact, in Neon, the earliest four-wheel drive car comic should be "Four-wheel drive boy" which was serialized in 1987.

However, after it was introduced to the mainland in the 1990s, it did not cause any waves. Instead, its descendant "Beyblade" took advantage of the introduction of domestic animation and became popular all over the country after the 21st century.

At that time, all the children were attracted by the four-wheel drive car in the animation, which was like a rocket engine fuel, and flew into the sky with the stunt of whirlwind charge tornado. Who would have thought that this thing could fly?

There is also the devil commander who controls the magic car with the infrared ring, which makes everyone who watches the animation hate the villain and envy this magical prop. Even after 2020, this magical four-wheel drive car has not been seen.

Therefore, after hesitating for a while, Li Wannian still chose "Beyblade", after all, this comic seems to be more likely to drive the sales of toys.

At this time, the story of the comic in Sun Jiayu's hand is almost the same as the original plot.

The four-wheel drive cars from Japan are extremely popular in Hong Kong Island, and many competitions have been held. Among them, a pair of brothers with very different personalities, Ma Xinghao and Ma Xinglie, also participated in the competition.

Although there was indeed a surname called Xing in ancient China, it is still too rare for modern people, so Li Wannian adjusted their names.

The brothers' competition styles are just like their own personalities. The younger brother Ma Xinghao is careless and arrogant, and his car is also rampant all the way, while the older brother Ma Xinglie is calm and careful, and his car pursues stability.

For the two people's cars, Li Wannian also mainly designs them according to the original, and also asked Chen Weixian to confirm that it can indeed be manufactured, and then he was assured to design boldly.

Because the two got the racing car "God of War" designed by Dr. Mu, they each transformed it into the "God of War" that focuses on acceleration and the "God of War" that focuses on turning, and showed their skills in the Hong Kong Island K4G competition.

However, during the competition, the two fell off the car and the God of War was damaged. With the help of Lie, the two won the right to participate in the finals together.

The story is simple, but under Li Wannian's pen, the rhythm, storyboard, and character design are all very mature, allowing Sun Jiayu to see the excellence of this comic just by looking at the original manuscript.

"Teacher, is this your new work?"

After reading it, Sun Jiayu asked Li Wannian.

"I don't have time. I have to serialize three comics every week. How can I have time to draw this comic?"

However, Li Wannian shrugged and said that he didn't plan to draw it.

"What do you mean?"

Sun Jiayu had an idea in his mind.

"This is Chen Weixian from the design department of Xingrong Company. This comic is a collaboration with a toy company. He needs to find a cartoonist who can draw this four-wheel drive car comic. I think you are more suitable. Do you understand what I mean?"

Li Wannian's words surprised Sun Jiayu, and he quickly asked: "Are you going to let me draw this comic?"

"I have this idea. Are you willing?"

"Of course!"

Sun Jiayu nodded repeatedly.

He knew how rare this opportunity was!

Now among Li Wannian's assistants, there are two types who can become serial cartoonists. One is a genius cartoonist who has taken charge of everything in the comics, such as Ma Rongcheng, Ao Youxiang and others. The other is a cartoonist with less talent but solid basic skills. Relying on the original works provided by Li Wannian, they are also famous in Hong Kong Island, such as He Zhiwen, Niu Lao, etc.

Sun Jiayu naturally belongs to the latter. His talent is not enough to make him a serial cartoonist, but with Li Wannian's original work, he can not only become a serial cartoonist, but also a serial cartoonist of popular comics, which is simply a situation like a carp leaping over the dragon gate.

"Well, go back and take a good look at my outline and character design, draw two chapters first, and then show them to me!"

"Yes! I promise to complete the task!"

Sun Jiayu agreed repeatedly.

"Can he do it?"

After Sun Jiayu left, Chen Weixian asked at this time.

"Give it a try! However, according to my observation, although he is a Taiwanese, his basic skills in comics are still quite solid!"

"Okay, I feel relieved with your words!"

"If you have any ideas in the future, you can contact me at any time!"

At this time, Li Wannian has already discovered that his old classmate in front of him has value in some aspects.
