Hong Kong Comic Master

While serializing three comics every week, he also had to look up information and write the script for "Neon Genesis Evangelion". Li Wannian didn't know how he spent his summer?

It was a dark summer for him.

Anyway, from the moment he opened his eyes to the moment he closed them, he was either drawing or writing, so Li Wannian secretly swore that he would never take on such work again.

Of course, Li Wannian had sworn like this countless times, but how many times could he do it?

Unfortunately, not once!

Whenever Li Wannian had a new idea, he would do it without caring about anything.

Fortunately, he didn't swear in front of a woman, otherwise the lightning in Hong Kong Island would not be enough to strike him alone!

Just when Li Wannian was busy drawing, a movie was released in Hong Kong Island. It was the movie "Super School Overlord" directed by Wang Jing, starring Zhang Weijian, and with supporting roles by Liu Dehua, Zhang Xueyou and others.

The movie was released on July 15. In more than a month, the box office successfully exceeded 20 million, becoming the seventh movie in Hong Kong to exceed 20 million in the whole year.

It also became the second movie starring Zhang Weijian to break 20 million in Hong Kong.

If "Parasyte" is luck, then now both movies have exceeded 20 million, which can never be explained by luck alone.

Moreover, even if Zhang Weijian relies on luck, there is no shortage of movies to shoot.

After all, in the film industry of Hong Kong Island, no matter how high your acting skills are and how good your image is, as long as your box office is not high, no one will use you, and even give you the title of "box office poison"!

There is no way, everyone doesn't like actors with bad luck.

While Zhang Weijian is in the limelight, Li Wannian's prestige in the film industry has been getting higher and higher!

His comics are adapted into movies, and each one is popular. What is this? This is simply a goose that lays golden eggs!

Especially now that Jin Daxia's novels are a bit out of date in the film industry, everyone is in urgent need of finding new IPs.

Therefore, many directors of Qilin Entertainment, and even many directors and bosses of other companies, have set their sights on Li Wannian.

Unfortunately, since Li Wannian was in seclusion, everyone couldn't find him, so they began to look for him from the people around him.

In the dim light, there was an old-fashioned electric machine, a microphone with wires, and a young girl holding the microphone and singing softly.

This is a karaoke bar, which is the favorite form of entertainment for Hong Kong Islanders, even big stars are no exception.

Karaoke was first born in Japan and is called one of the three most influential inventions in the world by Japan, the other two being instant noodles and animation.

As for why it is called karaoke?

First of all, the "卡ラ" (Ka ラ) in "Karaoke" is Japanese, which means "empty"; secondly, "OK" (オケ) does not mean "good", but "symphony", which means that no matter how bad you sing, the beautiful accommodation will always be beautiful.

Since Japanese musician Daisuke Inoue invented the world's first karaoke machine, Juke8, in 1971, karaoke has quickly become popular in Japan and even in Asia.

Unfortunately, Inoue did not apply for a patent for Juke8 at that time, which was a huge loss. Someone helped him calculate that if he applied for a patent at that time, he could collect 150 million US dollars in patent fees without doing anything.

After more than ten years of development, karaoke bars have now spread all over Hong Kong Island.

"......

Finding old love

The two people have long had a wish in their hearts

Who is willing to count how far

No matter how far!"

"Pah pah pah..."

"You sing really well, but why don't I have an impression of this singer?"

On the sofa, after Jackie Chan finished clapping, he casually put his hand around the waist of the young girl next to him and asked the girl who had just finished singing a song.

"This is Ou Ruiqiang's "The Returning Man on the Stranger". His sister Ou Guifen is from the Moonlight Girls!"

"Oh, it's him!"

After hearing the girl's explanation, Cheng Long suddenly realized. Although he still couldn't remember who the other party was, he knew Moonlight Girls. With this relationship, Cheng Long couldn't say that he didn't know.

"Why haven't I seen him release songs recently?"

"He is now semi-retired and opened a music farm to teach some students!"

"Wow, teaching and imparting knowledge, what a great ambition!"

Cheng Long raised his thumb and praised perfunctorily.

"Haha, Brother Long, don't blame me. Ah Zhen has been a fan of Moonlight Girls since she was a child. She knows all the members well!"

The fat man sitting next to Cheng Long was none other than Wang Jing, who was in the limelight. Even so, he was still at a disadvantage in the face of a senior in the film industry like Cheng Long.

"You guys go out first!"

After three rounds of drinking, Cheng Long patted the butt of the girl next to him with a red nose, motioning them to leave.

Wang Jing knew that Cheng Long was about to start the real show he had asked him to do this time, so he also gave his female companion a look.

After the two left, Cheng Long put his arm around Wang Jing's shoulders and said with a smile: "Brother, I have always admired you and wanted to work with you!"

"Yes, yes, I have always wanted to work with you, Brother Long, but unfortunately we are not in the same company!"

"That's right! I often feel sad about this, but now it's good, our chance to work together is here!"

Suddenly, Cheng Long changed the subject and patted Wang Jing's shoulder hard, scaring Wang Jing so much that he almost lost the wine in his hand.

"What...what chance?"

Wang Jing said doubtfully.

"Hey, my godfather and Mr. Zou have decided to open a film company for me and I will be my own boss. Can I cooperate with anyone I want?"

Seeing the smile on Cheng Longlian's face, Wang Jing finally understood why the other party was looking for him.

"Wow, congratulations to Brother Long, oh no, you should be called Mr. Long now!"

"Hahaha, how about it? Let's work together now?"

"Brother Long, you are the boss and I am just a part-time worker. I can't make up my mind about this kind of thing!"

At this time, Wang Jing pretended to be confused.

"Don't worry about it, just agree, and I'll do the rest!"

Cheng Long waved his hand and said confidently.

"this……"

Seeing that he couldn't shirk it, Wang Jing finally began to think about this matter seriously.

"Brother Long, what are you going to take pictures of?"

"Of course it's Nian Zai's comics. Which of his comics do you think is more suitable for me?"

"Brother Long, Mr. Li's comics are not so easy to photograph!"

Wang Jing tried to persuade him, but Cheng Long didn't care.

"Just say it and leave the rest to me!"

In fact, Cheng Long can definitely make money by making his own movies, but after all, this is his company's first movie, and the pressure is not as high as usual, which also requires him to ensure that nothing goes wrong.

Therefore, he fell in love with the shortcut of Wang Jing + Li Wannian IP.

Happy New Year, fellow book lovers! I wish you all a prosperous future in the new year!
