Hong Kong Comic Master

To be honest, although what Cai Zhizhong said is a bit exaggerated, it is not unreasonable. Li Wannian can really put down what he is doing and go see Ao Youxiang, even if he is in trouble now.

Since the release of the new issue of "Second Dimension Youth Weekly", the sales volume of the magazine has naturally declined, and there has been an overwhelming amount of abuse.

In particular, some die-hard fans of "Death" kept writing letters to the magazine, scolding the entire magazine and even Long Live!

"You old mother, I stopped all other comics and concentrated on "Death". Whoever likes "Dragon Ball" will read it. Anyway, I don't read it..."

"Isn't this scolding too harsh?"

Looking at the obscene words in the letter, Qiu Fulong couldn't help but feel his gums hurting, and subconsciously looked up at Li Wannian.

"What does this mean? I still have someone here who threatens to send me bullets!"

However, Li Wannian didn't seem to be affected in any way, and even shook the letter in his hand, as if he was showing off.

It's just...how can anyone show off how hard they get scolded?

Isn't that inappropriately masochistic?

"Crack!"

Just as he was saying this, Zhong Chuhong came from behind, lightly hit Li Wannian on the head with a letter, and said angrily: "I'm going to send you bullets, and you're still laughing?"

"You're just kidding. If he really beats me to death, who will draw "The God of Death" for him? Don't worry! These people are probably the ones who want me to live healthily the most.

With that said, Li Wannian held Zhong Chuhong's hand and comforted him.

When several assistants saw the master and his wife handing out sweets, they all lowered their heads and looked out the window, pretending not to notice.

As more and more people know about it, although the two still have not announced it to the public, they no longer hide it in front of some close people.

But this is quite painful for a few assistants.

Could you please feed us dog food during working hours? Even if you are the boss, you have to consider our feelings, right?

Whose responsibility is this reduced work efficiency?

Zhong Chuhong was the first to wake up. He blushed and retracted his hand from Li Wannian's hand. He covered his ears and said, "Who is worried about you? But, seriously, what are you going to do next?"

"What to do? Read the letter!"

As he spoke, Li Wannian folded a letter and stuffed it back into the envelope, then took out another one from the pile of envelopes on the table and opened it.

"You know that's not what I'm talking about!"

Regarding Li Wannian's misinterpretation of his meaning again, Zhong Chuhong didn't accept his words at all.

"Okay, okay!" Seeing Zhong Chuhong's burning gaze, Li Wannian finally gave up and put the letter on the table. However, he did not answer Zhong Chuhong directly, but asked Qiu Fulong, "Along, what do you think of " How about the comic "Dragon Ball"?

Hearing the teacher's question, Qiu Fulong couldn't continue to pretend to be dead. Like a student who was called on by the teacher in class, he was excited, straightened his body and said: "The painting is very good!"

"What's so good about it?"

"Uh...fortunately...the expressions of the characters are drawn very well?"

Qiu Fulong saw the prompting look in Niu Lao's eyes and gave an answer.

It's just that although he answered, he looked very unsure.

"Are you asking me?"

Qiu Fulong has been Li Wannian's assistant for almost half a year now, but because he is the youngest, he is still the one with the lowest professional ability among them all.

As a result, Li Wannian often asked Qiu Fulong random questions, causing Qiu Fulong to wake up in the middle of the night because he dreamed that Li Wannian was asking him questions.

Look at the poor child!

"Ah, no, ah no, yes!"

"Is that so?"

"I don't know!"

Qiu Fulong, this kid is almost crying!

Fortunately, Mr. Niu took action at this time and saved Qiu Fulong.

"I think not only the expressions of the characters, but the most outstanding thing about this comic is the storyboard and clear lines. The action scenes outlined with the simplest lines are simple and full of power, completely different from "Death"!"

Mr. Niu indeed had several years of work experience, and he spoke in a clear and logical manner, which made Li Wannian nod his head.

"Then do you think this comic is good?" Li Wannian asked again.

"It's pretty good, at least it's better than most comics on the market!"

"Does that mean my skills haven't declined?"

"How is that possible!"

After talking to Mr. Niu, Li Wannian turned to look at Zhong Chuhong and said, "Do you understand?"

"Understand what? Your skills haven't declined? I already knew this!"

"Of course, you have the most say on this point. Hey, hey, don't do anything!"

Seeing that Li Wannian was starting to be dishonest again, Zhong Chuhong immediately prepared to threaten him, and Li Wannian immediately returned to being serious.

"What I mean is, since the quality of my works has not declined significantly, and the level can still crush most comics on the market, why do I get scolded by so many readers?"

Zhong Chuhong vaguely understood what Li Wannian wanted to express, "Is it because readers can't evaluate it objectively?"

"Yes, a large number of my readers are Death fans. In their eyes, any comic is not as good as "Death", even my works! Therefore, he is not evaluating the new comics at all, he just wants to read "Death" "That's all. So, I don't have to listen to his opinion at all!"

"What about you now?" Zhong Chuhong looked at the messy studio and countless letters, and she wanted to complain.

"Ahem, isn't this just out of curiosity? Don't care about these details!"

"But the sales of the magazine are still declining!"

Due to the suspension of "Death", the sales of this issue of the two-dimensional magazine have dropped to less than 70,000 copies. Compared with the peak period of 100,000, this is not a discount, but a sales fracture.

"But it is still the number one in Hong Kong Island, isn't it? To be honest, it is better than I thought!"

Zhong Chuhong saw Li Wannian so calm, and she didn't know whether Li Wannian had a good mentality or had another trump card. Li Wannian didn't care about the loss of more than 30,000 sales.

"This is the time for the two-dimensional magazine to undergo a transformation. I just let this happen in advance!"

As soon as these words came out, even several other assistants raised their heads and listened carefully. This matter must also concern them.

"What do you mean?"

"Death will eventually end. If we wait until that day, will this situation occur? I guess it will be worse than the current situation!"

"How to solve it?" At this time, Niu Lao replaced Zhong Chuhong as Li Wannian's new supporting role.

"It's very simple. Just have a constant supply of 'Bleach'! A magazine can't last long with just one mainstay comic. I'm just letting readers adapt and transfer their love for comics to the magazine itself. What's more, it's just a break now, readers won't leave forever, we can still afford these losses!"

"So, there's only one question left, that is, can Dragon Ball replace Bleach?"

"It definitely can!"

Li Wannian said confidently.
