Hong Kong Comic Master

"Teacher Wansui, Mr. Li, please come this way!"

"This is where we usually play animations! Although the conditions are a bit simple, it is small but well-equipped. The animated short films produced by our workshop will be brought here for the first wave of playback!"

The day after the poaching storm, Li Wanshui and Li Wannian came to the Chinese University of Hong Kong Island together. ♦♦  ♦♦

The Chinese University of Hong Kong Island was established in 1963 and is located in Shatin, New Territories, Hong Kong Island.

Its establishment broke the iron rule that only one university was allowed to exist in the English colony, and at the same time set off the Hong Kong Chinese movement, successfully ending the situation where English monopolized the official language status.

Li Wannian and Li Wanshui came here today not for this university, but for the short-term animation workshops opened by the off-campus advanced training class, and the "Firebird Film Club" was established by animation enthusiasts.

This organization is a pioneer of independent animation in Hong Kong Island, because its establishment kicked off the prelude to independent animation in Hong Kong Island.

"Very good, you are all using Super 8 cameras!"

Li Wannian picked up a Chinon Super 8mm film camera and looked at it carefully.

"We all agree that if we want to make good animations, the equipment must be good. Even if other aspects can be made up, this aspect is definitely not good!"

The president laughed.

"Very good! It is precisely because of your attitude of striving for excellence that we want to donate to you!"

Although Li Wanshui did not understand these professional knowledge, he stood aside with his hands in his pockets and said coolly.

"Thank you so much, thanks to your donation, we have solved our urgent needs!"

Hearing about the investment, the president smiled.

Their film club itself is for love and does not make money at all.

Now there is a sucker... no, it is a kind-hearted person who is willing to donate to them, of course he is very happy!

"Since we are in the screening room, would you like to watch the short film we made? It's not long and won't take up too much of your time!"

"Of course! This is one of the reasons why I came here!"

Seeing that the other party invited him to watch the animated short film they made, Li Wannian certainly would not refuse.

So, Li Wannian, Li Wanshui, and his secretary Zhong Chuhong sat in the first row of the audience.

The short animations they made were not long, only a few minutes each, and Li Wannian watched five or six in one go.

The themes of the animations were varied, from the streets and alleys of the city to the lonely smoke in the desert of martial arts, from the love between young men and women to the cute animals. Although the production was relatively rough, it was enough to show their dedication and skills.

"You are really talented!"

After watching it, Li Wannian praised truthfully.

"Thank you, you are so polite. You are a role model for many of our companions..."

"Long live teacher, really long live teacher!"

Just as the president was praising Li Wannian, a group of movie enthusiasts in the club chattered into the screening room, quickly came to Li Wannian, and surrounded Li Wannian as excitedly as seeing a panda in the zoo.

"Hello!"

"Long live teacher, can you sign an autograph?"

When these people saw Li Wannian, they took out their weapons without saying a word.

Some took out a comic book, some took out a notebook, and some took a pen. It was a "gang crime"!

Looking at countless hands coming to Li Wannian, Li Wannian was even a little scared.

It was the first time he saw such a fanatical fan!

"Okay, come one by one!"

Li Wannian was quite patient with his fans.

Li Wanshui on the side was no longer surprised by Li Wannian's current influence, not to mention that the people here were all animation, and they were purified fans.

After about six or seven minutes of signing, Li Wannian had signed for everyone. With everyone watching, Li Wannian knew what he should say.

"Thank you for your love. My elder brother and I came here this time. We originally wanted to visit the Firebird Film Club, but we didn't expect to alarm so many of you.

In my opinion, although comics are very suitable for personal creation, they are not as good as animation in terms of promotion.

I have always believed that if the comics and animation industries in Hong Kong want to develop, they must go out of Hong Kong. Only in this way can we achieve better development.

And to go out, animation is the best booster, and among them, talents are indispensable!

In my opinion, the future of Hong Kong's animation industry lies here!

I feel the purest animation from you, and I feel the most sincere love for animation from you. Therefore, in addition to DreamWorks' investment of 1 million for you this time, I will personally sponsor you 500,000!

I hope you can attract more like-minded enthusiasts to join your film club, and make the animation industry in Hong Kong better and better together!"

"Hua La Hua La..."

At this time, the applause was thunderous all around, and Li Wannian's words made them excited.

In addition to their love for animation, they naturally want to gain recognition from others.

And now, they have received recognition from the most outstanding comics and animators in Hong Kong. What could make them happier than this?

Then, Li Wannian continued, "In addition, it is not enough to just work behind closed doors. I think you still lack the opportunity to communicate with the outside world. Independent animation and the animation our company is engaged in are two different things. I hope you can be inclusive!

Let me open a back door for you here. As long as you are a member of our film club, our DreamWorks Animation Company and Shenlong Animation Production Company will open 30 internship positions to you this year. Friends who are willing to come, we warmly welcome!

I hope you can experience a different animation production environment in the new environment!"

These words reveal the real purpose of Li Wannian and Li Wanshui's coming here.

Even if Li Wannian loves animation, Li Wanshui is not. He is a pure businessman, not a philanthropist obsessed with art.

The reason why the two want to invest money in the film club is that they hope to create a good image in this group and attract these animation talents to join their company.

In the original time and space, this film club has produced many talents, and finally joined the animation department of wireless stations and became the main professional animators in Hong Kong Island in the early days.

Now, the first choice of these talents who have received his favor and are his fans is definitely his animation company.

Moreover, even if they do not join, this internship position can also allow the two animation companies to obtain a batch of low-priced labor.

Because it is an internship, the salary for this part can be very low. If they are really greedy, they can be converted to regular employees. It is a win-win situation no matter how you look at it!

Here, the so-called win-win situation means that Li Wannian wins twice!
