Hong Kong Comic Master

"Next, let us warmly welcome all members of the Hong Kong Comics Association!"

"Wow, wow, wow..."

Following a burst of loud applause, on the stage set up in the hall on the first floor of the association, seven people, tall, short, fat, thin, men, women, old and young, stepped onto the stage one after another.

Standing in the C position in the middle of the seven people is naturally the association president Wang Ze. As for Li Wannian, he is standing closely beside Wang Ze.

Although he was not standing in the C position, most of the audience's eyes were focused on him, and his status and popularity were evident.

"Thank you all members for coming here. The Comics Association has always been committed to serving every member, creating a better creative environment, and continuing to contribute to the progress of Hong Kong comics..."

It has to be said that after becoming an official, Wang Ze became more and more official-like in his speech. Who would have thought that when he was getting old, he would actually become addicted to being an official.

"That's all I have to say. Next, I announce that the award ceremony of the 'Rising Star Award' has officially begun!"

As Wang Ze finished his speech, the highlight of the association finally officially began.

The host of this award ceremony is concurrently served by Liu Dingjian.

"First of all, the third place winner of the 'Rising Star Award' is Xue Qing's "Match!", which will be serialized in "2D Girls Weekly" and receive 5,000 yuan in cash."

Under a round of applause, Chen Shaomei stepped onto the stage that belonged to her.

Compared with 5,000 yuan, what really matters to everyone is the serialization opportunity.

That's "2D Girls' Weekly", the leader of Hong Kong girls' comics!

Anyone who draws manga about girls wouldn’t want to have it serialized in 2D Girls Weekly?

"teacher?"

After standing on the stage, Chen Shaomei discovered that it was her teacher He Zhiwen who presented the award to her. This was obviously carefully arranged.

"Congratulations! From today on, you are the cartoonist Xue Qing!"

He Zhiwen looked at Chen Shaomei in front of him with a smile, recalling that the little girl who came to him with a bit of shyness had finally grown up.

"Thank you teacher!"

Immediately afterwards, He Zhiwen handed the trophy to Xue Qing.

The top three winners this time will all have the opportunity to be officially serialized in comic magazines.

If several comic magazines take a fancy to one of the comics at the same time, the choice will come to the winner.

However, in this case, the winners will basically choose comic magazines with good sales and high reputation.

Sure enough, like Xue Qing, Chen Mou, who won second place, also chose "Second Dimension Youth Weekly".

To be honest, Chen Mou's comic book "Not Human" has been rated very highly within the association. Everyone said that his drawing style is somewhat like Zheng Wen. Therefore, through this award selection, there is even an additional "Young Zheng Wen" "The nickname.

I have to say that the Hong Kong comics community really likes to give people nicknames!

What? You ask what is Li Wannian’s nickname?

Not to mention the resources at Li Wannian's disposal, his status in the comics industry alone is enough for him to give up most of his nicknames.

Of course, this is not to say that he has none. One of the most widely circulated nicknames is "Long Live Hong Kong Comics", which is said to have originated from his fans!

"Congratulations, Chen Mou!"

"Second place is the biggest loser, teacher, what's there to congratulate about?"

On the stage, when Li Wannian was giving Chen Mou an award, he whispered in his ear, but he heard Chen Mou say this.

"According to what you say, my "Naruto" is often ranked second or third in the magazine, isn't it also a loser?"

"Teacher, how can this be counted? You are also the first!"

Chen Mou admired Li Wannian very much and would never allow anyone to slander Li Wannian, not even Li Wannian himself!

As a young genius, Chen Mou, who just turned 18 this year, already has drawing skills that far exceed those of most cartoonists in Hong Kong.

Ba Shu 69 new

Having just been admitted to Hong Kong Polytechnic University this year, he should have continued his studies at university.

But because his personal ability was really excellent, Li Wannian asked him to work part-time with him while he was in school. You must know that Li Wannian always hired assistants full-time.

Chen Mou was naturally very grateful for Li Wannian's trust in him. In addition, he had been reading Li Wannian's comics since he was a child, so he almost blindly worshiped Li Wannian.

"I mean, ranking is not that important! As long as you can draw comics that readers like, that's enough!"

"Yes, I will try my best!"

The conversation between the two was very low, so the people in the audience did not know what they were communicating.

"It's our turn soon, are you nervous?"

At this time, Chen Liwen, who was standing on one side of the stage and was about to take the stage, asked Mai Gabi who was on the side.

"How could that happen? I'm not nervous at all!"

Mai Jiabi smiled lightly at Chen Liwen.

When Chen Liwen saw this, he didn't say anything, but picked up Mai Jiabi's hand, which was trembling at this time.

"This is exciting!"

Unfortunately, Chen Liwen couldn't accept Mai Jiabi's pale explanation.

"It's true, but it's a pity that the person who gave us the award is not Mr. Long Live!"

As the first place winners of this "Rising Star Award", the person who presented the award to them was naturally Wang Ze, the president of the association.

Wang Ze's "Old Master Q" is good, but Mai Jiabi obviously likes Li Wannian more. She especially likes Li Wannian's "Pokemon". Her "Mai Ma" is inspired by this comic.

"Hush, don't say that!"

Chen Liwen quickly looked up and looked around, and found that no one noticed their whispering, so he breathed a sigh of relief.

They haven't become formal members of this association yet, but they have offended the president of this association. How can they survive in this association in the future?

Although this association is not official, its influence on the Hong Kong comics industry is much greater than many official organizations!

"Finally, let us welcome the first place winner of this year's "Rising Star Award", Chen Liwen and Mai Jiabi's "Mai Ma", they will have the opportunity to be serialized in the "Second Dimension Youth Weekly" magazine, and 100,000 Hong Kong dollars."

Hearing Liu Dingjian's words, Chen Liwen and Mai Jiabi walked onto the stage together and stood between Chen Mou and Xue Qing.

"Next, let's invite Mr. Wang Ze, the president of the Comics Association, to present the awards to the two winners!"

Then, Wang Ze slowly walked onto the stage, picked up the trophy and certificate held by the staff on the tray, and handed them to Chen Liwen and Mai Jiabi respectively.

"Congratulations!"

"Thank you, President Wang!

Looking at these two unfamiliar faces, Wang Ze was very happy.

These two are not talents cultivated by forces such as the "Imperial Guards" or the "Shangguan Family". Such people who do not belong to any faction are the talents he most desires!

"This is what you deserve! I am optimistic about your future development!"

"Thank you!"

The two thanked again.

"By the way, what comics do you like on weekdays?"

"Pokemon!"

"Dragon Ball!" "

The two of them said their answers without any hesitation, but Wang Ze's face suddenly froze.

Strange, is there anything wrong with this sentence?

In the end, the four winners took a group photo with the three committee members on the stage, leaving a precious photo.

Many years later, many comic fans called the newcomers who participated in the "Rising Star Award" this year the "Golden Generation".
