Hong Kong Comic Master

"Oh, little uncle, I'll go over right away. By the way, let me introduce you. These two are the authors of "Mai Mark", Chen Liwen and Mai Jiabi. ơɱ"

"Hello!"

The young man with a slightly proud look, after hearing Chen Shaomei's introduction, just glanced at them, then replied lightly, and then said to Chen Shaomei: "Hurry up, and save the teacher's anger!"

After saying that, he stopped talking to Chen Shaomei and turned around to leave.

"He is?"

This young man never even introduced himself from beginning to end, which made Chen Liwen very curious.

"Oh, his name is Chen Haifeng, his pen name is Chen Mou, and he is the second runner-up in this 'Rising Star Award'. Don't mind, he is just jealous of you!"

Chen Shaomei covered her mouth and snickered.

"How come?"

"What did you mean by calling him Junior Uncle?"

Compared to Chen Liwen's greetings, Mai Jiabi on the side was puzzled.

"Oh, he is Teacher Wanzai's new assistant last year. You should also know that my teacher is a disciple of Teacher Wanzai. We have a tradition of ranking based on seniority, so he has become our junior uncle!"

"I see!"

After Chen Shaomei's explanation, the two of them immediately understood.

This is the assistant of Long Live, the number one cartoonist in Hong Kong. No wonder he is so arrogant. He has this capital!

"Okay, let's go there quickly, the awards ceremony should start soon!"

After that, Chen Shaomei led the two of them towards a room in the hall, where there were specialized staff who told them the subsequent awarding process.

There were so many people at the scene today. In addition to most of the cartoonists in Hong Kong, there were also many media reporters and photographers from Phoenix TV.

Because it had been some time before the awards ceremony started, everyone was chatting with each other in the hall.

Of course, the real high-level members of the association, the so-called seven committee members, gathered together in twos and threes to discuss matters in several private rooms on the second floor.

Naturally, Li Wannian was included.

"Mr. Li, your disciple failed to win the first place this time. It's not because he is not strong, but because there are too many outstanding people in this year's 'Rising Star Award'! Although we are all very optimistic about Chen Mou and think that his His painting skills definitely rank first, but unfortunately, he still lost to "Mai Mark" in terms of popularity."

"It doesn't matter, he should have experienced it!"

Li Wannian didn't care at all when faced with the visitor's apology.

But the other party did not take Li Wannian's casual words seriously, but continued: "However, Chen Mou's comic "Not a Human" is very unique. The painting style and storyboard are somewhat Japanese-style, which is relatively It’s slim and much better than the rough martial arts style currently popular in Hong Kong.”

"Hahaha, if others knew that you, a troll, are so complimentary, they would be dumbfounded, right?"

"Hahaha, I'm a troll who only targets things, not people!"

For Li Wannian describing himself in this way, the man was not angry at all, but accepted it happily, because his nickname in the circle was "Troller".

This person's name is Liu Dingjian. He was Ma Rongcheng's assistant before. Later, he set up his own business and created the "Super God Z" comic.

However, compared to his achievements in comics, he is most famous for his mouth.

Before working as an assistant to Ma Rongcheng, he was a screenwriter at Phoenix Entertainment and was an outsider. But when he entered the comics industry, he suddenly discovered: Come on, the comics industry is full of illiterates and semi-illiterates.

Later, after he had comics of his own, he became the editor of the "Second Dimension Information Station" and completely transformed into a troll, criticizing the various shortcomings of comic creation in Hong Kong, including routines, no innovation, being conservative, not thinking about progress, and stealing. Copying the idea of ​​​​Banzai.

He scolded Wen Riliang for being uneducated and finding typos on every page; he criticized Feng Zhiming for being the same painter for many years and showing no progress at all; he also called Huang Yulang a "black pig man" and said the company's management was in a mess.

I have to say that he is indeed a cultural man. He cursed Hong Kong all over the place, but no one dared to say that what he said was wrong.

After all, I can't scold him.

However, when facing Li Wannian, he didn't look arrogant at all. Those who didn't know better thought he was Li Wannian's lackey!

"However, speaking of which, you should also rein in your temper. I heard that you have offended many people?"

"It doesn't matter, what can they do to me?"

As a troll, Liu Dingjian naturally offended many people in the industry, but he didn't care at all.

When Li Wannian saw this, he stopped talking and changed his words: "How is the association doing now?"

In addition to being the editor of "Second Dimension Information Station", Liu Dingjian is also the deputy director-general of the Hong Kong Comics Association.

Of course, the Hong Kong Comics Association has something to do on weekdays, but the seven committee members are either respected seniors or popular cartoonists like Li Wannian who have many things to do. How can they have time to take care of the affairs of the association.

Therefore, the seven committee members selected people from among the members who were suitable to preside over the work of the association on weekdays.

Liu Dingjian had serialized "Comics" before and was a member of the Comics Association. Now he is a magazine editor and no longer serializes comics. This makes him less busy on weekdays. In addition, he also has ideas, so he serves as the daily director of the Comics Association. Deputy Director General.

"It's calm on the surface!"

"Where's down there?"

"Of course it's going to be rough!"

Liu Dingjian shrugged, as if he was not surprised.

"Tell me carefully!"

The specific personnel of the seven committee members of the Comics Association have already changed.

At present, the chairman of the Hong Kong Island Committee has been replaced by Wang Ze. The original chairman Li Fanfu was too old and retired the year before last.

Among other committee members, Guan Shanmei has resigned as a committee member, but is still a member of the association.

Among the remaining committee members, Li Wannian, Shangguan Xiaobao and Li Huizhen have not changed. Ma Rongcheng and He Zhiwen were replaced before, and there are still seven members.

However, this time, as Huang Yulang was imprisoned, his status as a committee member could only be temporarily removed. As a result, there was another vacant spot.

"Currently, there are three people vying for this committee member. One is your disciple Ao Youxiang, one is Shangguan Xiaowei, and the other is Feng Zhiming. Needless to say, the first two people, it is Feng Zhiming who has something behind him."

"Oh? Isn't he a serial cartoonist in our magazine?"

Li Wannian was a little puzzled. According to his status as a two-dimensional serial cartoonist, Feng Zhiming should be his own talent. But according to Liu Dingjian, it seems that it is not that simple.

"He has had a close relationship with Chairman Wang recently!"

Liu Dingjian's simple words made Li Wannian frown, and he suddenly understood a lot in his heart.
