Hong Kong Comic Master

There was no rating system in Hong Kong at this time. Let alone comics, even movies were only formulated in 1988.

The current restrictions on comics are mainly based on the "Undesirable Publications Ordinance" that was implemented in 1975. For individuals or companies that violate the regulations, the regulations stipulate that for illegal acts that hinder execution, upon conviction, they may be fined 10,000 yuan and imprisoned for 6 months.

Faced with such a one-size-fits-all regulation, comics practitioners in Hong Kong have never thought of grading or other methods. Instead, they continue to test and find the so-called bottom line.

Compared with them, 2D Magazine is simply a good baby. It can even be said that their internal censorship is even stricter than that of the Hong Kong Island government.

Doing so will naturally drive away many readers and give Yulang Comics room to exist.

Within Hong Kong Island, there is even a saying that the second dimension is for children, and adults should watch Huang... Yulang.

In this regard, no one within the Second Dimension Magazine has raised the issue, hoping that internal censorship can be relaxed. After all, aren’t other comics alive and well?

But Li Wannian never relented. After all, Li Wannian had never set his sights on the three-thirds of an acre of Hong Kong Island. He always encouraged Hong Kong comics to go abroad, not only in Southeast Asia, but also further.

Therefore, he hopes that there will be no censorship issues for the comics of 2D Magazine when they come to any country in the world, because the internal censorship of 2D Magazine will always be stricter than the local censorship.

As for whether it can really go out, it still depends on the quality of the comics itself, rather than focusing on novelty and other aspects.

In this regard, Huang Yulang has never paid attention to the rise of the two-dimensional magazine.

Because he knows that the general customers of both parties do not overlap, and he can even rely on the popularity of the other party to open up the market and attract traffic for himself.

After all, the Second Dimension is only a weekly magazine. You have to wait a week after reading it. You are not allowed to find meal replacements at other times?

However, things are different now. When Huang Yulang looked at the "Second Dimension Youth Weekly" in his hand, a huge sense of crisis emerged from the bottom of his heart. The Second Dimension Magazine began to invade his own territory!

"Dong dong dong!"

There was a knock on the door, and Qi Yunjie walked in. Seeing Huang Yulang still looking at the comic in his hand attentively, he couldn't help but asked with concern: "Teacher, are you still reading?"

"Oh, Ajie is here?"

When Huang Yulang saw it was Qi Yunjie, he put down the comic in his hand and rubbed his temples with his fingers.

"Teacher, don't take it too seriously. Although this comic is good, it doesn't threaten our status!"

"Do you really think so? As for this "Parasite", who in our editorial department can draw it?"

"Parasite Beast" is a science fiction comic created by Iwa Akijun. Although the animation of "Parasite Beast" only started production in 2013, the comic was actually serialized very early, and it began to be published in Kodansha's "AFTERNOON" magazine in 1990. serialized. ♦♦  ♦♦

After being localized by Li Wannian, the story mainly tells the story of the male protagonist Quan Xinyi's right hand being parasitized by an alien creature. The two parties turned enemies into friends and fought to the death with other complete parasitic beasts.

Although the whole comic looks scary and depressing, its complete story structure, rich character creation, and the idea of ​​protecting the environment have made this comic highly praised.

But because of some of the horrific scenes of cannibalism, Li Wannian never considered putting it in a juvenile magazine. However, this time he took it out for the success of the youth magazine.

Such a novel subject matter can have some impact on Hong Kong Island in this era, right?

However, what Li Wannian didn't expect was that the impact seemed to be bigger.

Qi Yunjie immediately fell silent after hearing Huang Yulang's question.

Because he knew that no one in the entire editorial department could draw it.

What I mean here by not being able to draw well is not the comic style. To be honest, the drawing style of the parasitic beast is not good, it can only be called clean.

However, this story deeply shocked Huang Yulang and Qi Yunjie.

Hong Kong Island itself is a science fiction desert, and the best science fiction works are only at the level of "Wesley".

Therefore, how could Huang Yulang and Qi Yunjie not be shocked when Li Wannian took this comic, which even if it was released on Neon, was one of the top works of science fiction comics?

At this time, Qi Yunjie also didn't know what to say. Sometimes he really wanted to open Li Wannian's head to see what structure was inside. How could he think of these contents?

"Also, there is this "Heroes of China". Where did this Mayong City come from? Why haven't you heard of it before?"

This youth weekly has three comics in total, namely "Parasite Beast", "Chinese Heroes" and "Sword Laughter".

The comic "Sword Laughter" was originally serialized in Shonen Weekly, but because of its subject matter, it was not suitable for serialization in Shonen Weekly. It was only because Li Wannian was reluctant to let go of the comic that he was allowed to join the magazine. Serialized.

After all, this comic began to be hailed as the two peak works in the Hong Kong martial arts comics industry along with "Heroes of China".

However, with the emergence of youth magazines and Lao Feng's consent, finally, starting from this chapter, the comic was officially transferred to youth magazines for continued serialization.

As for the appearance of this "Chinese Hero", it was indeed beyond Li Wannian's expectations. He didn't expect that Ma Rongcheng would be so fast from conception to writing for this classic comic?

In response, Ma Rongcheng said: No, no, I can't compare to you, teacher!

Originally, Li Wannian had never considered that this comic would be published in the first issue of "Youth Weekly", but when Li Wannian saw that the finished product was almost complete and there was still a week before the release of Youth Weekly, Li Wannian finally chose to help Ma Rongcheng, allowing him to take fewer detours and successfully catch up with this first issue of the magazine.

"I know about this. This Ma Rongcheng used to be from "Happy News", and then he and He Zhiwen became Wannian's assistant!"

Qi Yunjie explained.

"Another Wansui assistant?"

Hearing this, Huang Yulang frowned even deeper.

It's already difficult to deal with Wansui alone, and now his assistants are also beginning to emerge. This means that Wansui is not only excellent in his own ability, but also in his educational ability. In this way, what can his Yulang Group use to fight against others?

"Teacher, do you want it?"

Qi Yunjie came to Huang Yulang, lowered his voice and gestured with his hands.

"What do you want? What kind of a small role do you think the other party is? Have you forgotten the reporter from the Oriental Daily two years ago?"

Huang Yulang glared at Qi Yunjie fiercely.

In fact, Huang Yulang has been following Li Wannian for the past two years, constantly copying... learning, and has accumulated a lot of wealth. Now he has become powerful and is ready to set up a large company like DreamWorks, and is no longer satisfied with being a family workshop.

However, he is completely incomparable with the other party. It only took the other party two years to grow to the point where it can acquire a TV station. This is a path that Huang Yulang has never imagined.

If it weren't for the youth weekly they published, Huang Yulang never even wanted to directly deal with Li Wannian.

Now there is no chance!

However, he was not going to sit there and wait for death, he had to fight back.
