Hong Kong Comic Master

The sun sets, and the sunlight close to the horizon stretches all the shadows on the ground very long, including the towering buildings, the pedestrians passing by, and the cars speeding on the road.

A silver-white BMW 5 Series E28 is speeding on the road.

In the car, He Zhiwen, who is sitting in the driver's seat, feels the nervousness of the woman next to him, so he persuades her: "Don't be nervous, the teacher is very kind!"

"Yes!"

Although the woman answered like this, her finger joints, which turned white due to being tightly clenched, still exposed her nervousness.

"Don't worry, Wentong, the teacher won't mind what you did!"

Despite He Zhiwen's comfort, it still didn't make the woman feel much at ease.

Don't mind? How is that possible?

Not to mention others, even she herself is very concerned about what she has done.

Her name is Jin Wentong, a cartoonist, but also a cartoonist who can't be put on the stage, because she used to draw romantic comics!

In Hong Kong Island, although romantic comics have been hit, they have never disappeared.

On the contrary, these comics not only did not disappear, but they are still alive and well!

Today, the so-called "Undesirable Publications Ordinance" is a typical example of only preventing gentlemen, not villains.

Those small workshops that commit crimes against the wind will never stop doing it just because it is illegal!

However, because the Hong Kong Island Comics Association never recruits this type of cartoonists, nor does it recognize this type of comic magazines, they are not well known.

Just like Jin Wentong, she used to be a student studying painting. Because her mother was sick, she became a gunman for others for money and painted many "classic works".

As a result, after graduation, she found that it was not easy for her to turn over a new leaf!

Although her painting ability is not bad, because she has drawn romantic comics, her painting characteristics are always unable to adapt to regular comics, so she can neither be a cartoonist nor enter the editorial department.

Fortunately, Dick knew her and introduced her to Ho Chi-man, and she became Ho Chi-man's assistant. It has been more than a year.

Under Ho Chi-man's careful teaching, Jin Wentong finally corrected that painting style.

However, He Zhiwen has now transformed into a cartoonist of youth comics. Although his "Rogue Lawyer" is not as popular as the two leaders of youth comics, it has always been in the top five of "Second Dimension Youth Weekly".

He has successfully transformed and naturally no longer cares about the track of girl comics. After all, drawing youth comics is slow, with higher income and wider popularity.

More importantly, this is his own comic.

If he really wants to go back to drawing girl comics, I'm afraid he won't be willing to do it. After all, he can't draw a better girl comic than "Hong Kong Love Story" and "Boys Over Flowers"!

Therefore, Jin Wentong was destined to be buried here, but a phone call yesterday made He Zhiwen realize that Jin Wentong's opportunity has come!

So, this afternoon, He Zhiwen took Jin Wentong to visit!

"Teacher!"

"Oh, Awen, you're here pretty fast, the meal is not ready yet!"

Not long after, He Zhiwen drove to Li Wannian's house, and Li Wannian opened the door for him personally.

"Is this the assistant you recommended to me?"

"Yes, Wentong, say hello to the teacher!"

He Zhiwen noticed that Li Wannian was looking behind him, so he quickly stepped aside and reminded Jin Wentong.

"Hello, Mr. Li, my name is Jin Wentong, and I am the assistant of Teacher He Zhiwen!"

Li Wannian first took a look at the appearance of the girl in front of him. The thick glasses like beer bottle caps covered most of her face, and the remaining part also proved that the girl's appearance was not bad.

But this is rare for female cartoonists.

That kind of beautiful girl cartoonist can only be regarded as a rare one.

Li Wannian just took a look and then retracted his gaze. After all, it would be too rude to look at her for too long.

"Come in!"

After taking the two to the hall, sitting on the sofa and drinking the tea brought by the Filipino maid, Li Wannian and He Zhiwen chatted for a while before saying to Jin Wentong: "You were introduced by Awen. I believe in your ability, but we still need a small test to see if your style matches my comic."

"No problem! I will definitely work hard!"

Hearing Li Wannian talking to her, Jin Wentong, whose nervous heart had just eased a little, suddenly felt nervous again.

"Don't be nervous, it's very simple. Go over there. There is a story outline and the characters of the comics on the table. You choose a paragraph and draw a small section of the comic. There are also tools!"

"Yes!"

Jin Wentong followed the direction of Li Wannian's finger and saw a drawing table on the balcony with something like a book on the table.

So she walked over quickly, sat behind the table and found that the tools on the table were complete. I think this should be what Li Wannian used on a daily basis.

However, she didn't have time to look at other things, but saw the story outline placed in the middle of the table at a glance. The name of the comic was written on it, "Itazura na Kiss".

For the name "Itazura na Kiss", many people's impression comes from a Wanwan idol drama. The confused and simple Yuan Xiangqin and the cold-hearted Jiang Zhishu have become the childhood memories of many girls and even some boys.

But in fact, this TV series is adapted from Tada Kaoru's manga Itazura na Kiss.

This manga was serialized in the manga magazine Bessatsu Margaret from 1990 to 1999, and then it was changed into the Japanese drama Itazura na Kiss in 1996. Later, Taiwan, South Korea and Thailand bought the copyright for adaptation.

This manga is known as the "love bible" and is the author's masterpiece. The work is inspired by the bits and pieces of Tada Kaoru's acquaintance, love and getting along with her husband. However, because Tada Kaoru unfortunately passed away due to cerebral hemorrhage in 1999, the whole work was not completed.

Although from this perspective, Li Wannian felt a little sorry for Tada Kaoru, but for the development of Hong Kong comics, he could only say sorry.

Just when Jin Wentong was attracted by the story outline of Itazura na Kiss, Li Wannian was also chatting with Ho Chi Man.

"Teacher, there is one thing I need to explain to you in advance. This Jin Wentong used to draw erotic comics! But don't worry, she is really good at it, not the kind of..."

"Okay, no need to talk about that, isn't it just erotic comics? Don't forget, our printing factory once published "Urban Jade Girl"! Oh, by the way, that was the comic that your grandfather decided on!"

Li Wannian's words were like a decisive blow, which directly made He Zhiwen no longer feel any uneasiness in his heart.

Yes, my grandfather also did this thing!
