Hong Kong Comic Master

"It's me. Didn't you lose your wallet? Take it!"

Looking at Hojo Temple who was in a daze, Li Wannian waved his right hand holding the money, and finally made Hojo Temple sober up.

"I..."

But when he stretched out his hand, he was stunned again.

The reason why he submitted his work to "Champion" was that he hoped that one day he could draw a work that defeated Wansui.

But once he accepted his money, even if he owed him a favor, how could he compete with him in the future?

No one knew what Hojo Temple's brain circuit was like, and no one knew what the essential relationship was between owing favors and competition?

Li Wannian certainly didn't know either.

Therefore, when he saw Hojo Temple stunned, he thought he was moved, so he stuffed the money into Hojo Temple's hand, "This money is just a loan from me. When you succeed in the future, return the money to me!"

"Hojo Temple, why don't you thank Wansui teacher!"

Sawajiri Fumi, who was standing aside, was almost going crazy and reminded him out loud.

"Thank you... Thank you!"

Hearing that it was a loan, not a gift, Hojoji was tangled in his heart, but finally he felt relieved. It was just a loan, and he had to pay it back, so it didn't count as a favor!

"Sawajiri, is this also the author of "Champion"? "

Just now, when Li Wannian heard the name of Hojoji, he was really surprised.

After all, this is a genius cartoonist of "Jump", how could he come to "Champion"?

"Yes! He submitted his work to our editorial department before, and I saw it, so now he has become an author under me. I hope he can become an outstanding cartoonist like you one day!"

"I will!"

As soon as Sawajiri Shi finished speaking, Hojoji couldn't wait to say.

"Hey, wait till you finish learning the knowledge of comics before talking about serialization, okay?"

"Editor Sawajiri, don't worry, I will definitely work hard!"

"What's the comic knowledge you just mentioned?"

Li Wannian didn't know much about Hojo Temple, but more about his deeds after he became famous, but he also knew that in terms of drawing skills, Hojo Temple was enough to rank in the top five of "Jump".

If you ask which author in "Jump" has the highest achievements, there may be many answers, but if you ask which author has the smoothest career, there is only one answer, that is Hojo Temple.

In the original time and space, he entered the finals of the "Tezuka Award" in 1979, and then attracted the attention of Shueisha editor Horie Nobuhiko.

Then, without giving up his studies, he published the short comic "I am a man" in the supplement of "Weekly Shonen Jump" in 1980, and officially entered the ranks of professional cartoonists.

Then in 1981, after graduation, he immediately published the short comic "Cat's Eye Sisters" in the 29th issue of "Weekly Shonen Jump", which was a great success. ♦♦  ♦♦

Then in 1985, "City Hunter" was launched, which became a classic manga that went down in history. It was even remade by Hong Kong Island Jack Long, South Korean Lee Myung-ho, and Gallic Philippe Lachaux, and became famous all over the world.

"Although Hojo is a genius, his foundation is too poor and he needs to hone his painting skills!"

Sawajiri Fumi said helplessly.

"Is that so? I will stay in Neon for a few days. If you have any questions, you can come to me and I will tell you everything I know!"

Sawajiri Fumi and Hojo Temple were shocked by Li Wannian's enthusiastic invitation.

Sawajiri Fumi: Li Sanren is so nice. He can take time out of his busy schedule to help a stranger in a foreign country.

Hojo Temple: Asshole, why are you so nice to me? What's the matter with this touching me?

Li Wannian: I'm sorry, brother. I want to copy your "City Hunter" later, just as a compensation for you!

"Editor Sawajiri, Editor-in-Chief Kabemura is free now!"

Just then, the clerk of the editorial department came over.

"Okay, I'll come right away!" Sawajiri Shi hurriedly agreed, and then winked at Hojo Temple: Hurry up and agree, agree!

"Then...thank you!"

Looking at the sincere Li Wannian, Hojo Temple couldn't say no.

"Hahaha, keep going, you are definitely the next pillar of "Champion"!"

Li Wannian patted Hojo Temple on the shoulder and turned to Kabemura's office.

Sawajiri Shi took the opportunity to come to Hojo Temple and said: "These two days, you stay with Wansui and learn from him well, okay?"

"He is quite nice!"

Looking at Li Wannian's back, Hojo Temple couldn't help but sigh.

"Good for you! Did you remember what I said?"

"Remember, remember!"

Hojo Temple, who was scolded for no reason, hurriedly replied.

Sawajiri Fumi didn't care to continue to tangle with Hojo Temple, but turned around and quickly caught up with Li Wannian.

"Editor-in-Chief Bimura, long time no see!"

"Li-san, I'm really sorry, I was suddenly summoned by the president just now, and kept you waiting for a long time!"

"No, it's also good to visit the editorial office!"

The two of them had a pleasant cooperation, but when they met again, there was a little more distance between them.

As the saying goes, you can only share adversity, not wealth. At this time, there is still a long way to go before real success, but both sides are preparing for a rainy day and preventing it before it happens.

In the final analysis, the two are in a loose cooperative relationship, and both have limited trust in each other.

"This time, the magazine has invested huge resources to promote Li-san, and the president summoned me just now for this matter!"

"Thank you so much, I will work harder in the future!"

The other party's meaning is very clear, that is: we spent a lot of money to promote you.

And Li Wannian's meaning is also very clear: Isn't this what you should do? If I become famous, won't the sales of the magazine be higher?

"Hahaha, that's really hard work, Mr. Li! By the way, Mr. Li, there is one more thing I want to discuss with you!"

"Please go ahead!"

"I heard that Mr. Li's company has a lot of peripheral products, but they haven't landed in Japan yet, right?"

When he heard Bicun talking about peripheral products, Li Wannian immediately understood why the other party invited you to Japan.

"Is your company interested in this?"

"Of course, I think there will definitely be Dragon Ball products here in the future?"

"Yes, we are already doing it, but isn't your company a bookstore? Most of my peripherals are toys!"

"Our Akita Bookstore has cooperative relationships with many supermarkets and convenience stores!"

"Sorry, my brother is in charge of the company's peripheral products. If your company is interested in this, you can go directly to Hong Kong Island to talk to the company!"

For the other party's "sudden attack", Li Wannian needs time to weigh the pros and cons.

They are definitely not free as middlemen, and it is hard to say how much they will get from it!

But on the other hand, they did facilitate DreamWorks' products to enter the Japanese market.

How much benefit they can get from this and whether they will lose money need to be carefully analyzed.

Therefore, he used the tactics of throwing the pot and dragging the pot to buy himself time to think.
