"Cheers!"

The three glasses of wine clinked together, and because they were too strong, a lot of the wine in the glasses spilled onto the dishes on the table.

DreamWorks was very efficient, and they responded to them in just two days!

The three of them undoubtedly won the jackpot!

Two of them became Wansui's assistants, and one became Ho Chi Man's assistant.

Although being an assistant to a cartoonist won't make you instantly rich, but because of the special circle in the Hong Kong comics industry, once you become an assistant to a cartoonist, it means that you have officially entered this circle, which is of great significance to your future development.

At present, cartoonists in Hong Kong are divided into the "Royal Guards" and other cartoonists. Other cartoonists are mainly Huang Yulang and the Shangguan family. Their cartoons adopt the European and American assembly line model.

If you do the edging, you will do the edging all your life. If you draw the background, you will draw the background all your life. It can be said that these people are no different from the workers who screw screws in the factory, constantly repeating boring work.

Even if you are really talented and become the editor-in-chief of a magazine and can draw comics, the ownership of the comics still belongs to the magazine, not the individual!

In this way, any cartoonist with some ability is unwilling to go to their magazine.

On the other hand, the "Imperial Guard" system, especially becoming Li Wannian's assistant, although they can do these simple jobs, they can learn beside the cartoonists. Generally, after working for a few years, they can go to the magazines under the two-dimensional magazine to serialize comics.

Once you become a cartoonist who serializes popular comics, your income will immediately double or even become financially free.

Almost every year, you can hear news that someone serializes comics and pays hundreds of thousands of taxes.

Therefore, after years of publicity, everyone has a stereotyped impression, that is, if you want to make a lot of money, then go to the two-dimensional magazine to serialize, and if you want to serialize, go to those cartoonists to be assistants first!

Therefore, when they heard the news, they happily ran out to dinner overnight.

This feeling is like, the other people in the class are still studying hard to prepare for the college entrance examination, and I have received a recommendation quota for Wudaokou Vocational and Technical College.

It's so cool!

"Oh my, it's spilled!"

"Wipe it off!"

"Are you stupid? How do you wipe it off? Eat it!"

"How do you eat it?"

"Anyway, it will be mixed together after it's eaten, so what's the difference?"

The wine spilled, and several people were busy for a long time, and finally settled down.

"I never thought that we would have this day!"

Sitting back in the chair, Xu Jingchen couldn't help but sigh.

Unlike the other two, Xu Jingchen's family is not good. The reason why he came to the advanced class of Gezhi Academy is not because of his talent in painting, but because he can get a scholarship to reduce the burden on his family.

In addition, in terms of painting talent, Xu Jingchen is not as good as the other two because of his weak foundation.

Therefore, in order to make up for his shortcomings, he began to look for cartoonists suitable for him to imitate in addition to his usual studies.

Forget about Li Wannian. All the painters in Hong Kong Island are imitating Li Wannian, but none of them imitate like him!

After searching for a while, Xu Jingchen finally found a cartoonist suitable for him to imitate, that is, the famous cartoonist Ikegami Ryoichi from Japan.

As a famous cartoonist of the Japanese realist school, his works follow the adult route. His character modeling style, composition, storyboard techniques, story structure, etc. have influenced many later cartoonists, and even some Hong Kong Island movies with gangster themes have been influenced by his works.

After Xu Jingchen's hard imitation, now no matter the style, composition and story plot, it is 90% similar to the original work, and his classmates jokingly call him Ikegami Jingchen.

It was precisely because of this imitation that he was favored by Li Zhiqing and eventually made him successfully become Li Wannian's assistant.

However, Xu Jingchen also knew that with his imitation skills alone, he could be a good assistant now, and as for cartoonists, he was still far away!

He is not Fei Zhu, a genius!

"Tsk, how could I not think of it? Didn't we come to this class to become cartoonists?"

Speaking of this, Wen Rizhu was full of confidence, with his hands on his waist, looking like he was pointing out the world and writing passionately.

"Oh, it's great to be young!"

Liu Yunjie on the side complained listlessly.

Compared to the glorious Wen Rizhu and the calm Xu Jingchen, Liu Yunjie was very nervous.

Which of them who study painting doesn't like Li Wannian's cartoons, and who doesn't want to be Li Wannian's assistant.

And now that I have become He Zhiwen's assistant, I am equivalent to becoming He Zhiwen's apprentice and Li Wannian's grandson.

In this way, won't I be the nephew of these two guys in front of me in the future?

Good fellow, I treat you as brothers, and you actually want to be my uncle?

"Yunjie, don't worry too much. There's nothing wrong with being He Zhiwen's assistant! He is the current leader of Girls' Weekly. Following him, you can be serialized in Girls' Weekly in the future. Moreover, the competition pressure of Girls' Weekly is much less than that of Boys' Weekly and Youth Weekly!"

"Yes! The competition pressure is much smaller, and the money is much less!"

Nowadays, Boys' Weekly and Youth Weekly have sales of 200,000 or 300,000, while Girls' Weekly only has sales of about 100,000.

Although the sales volume is still higher than other comic magazines, it is not taken seriously within the two-dimensional magazine.

Therefore, although He Zhiwen is already the well-deserved leader of "Girls' Weekly", his income is not among the top three cartoonists of "Shonen Weekly".

Of course, this does not include the income from film and television copyrights. In this part, He Zhiwen's "Boys Over Flowers" and "Hong Kong Love Story" have made a lot of money. Even if Li Wannian takes the lion's share, He Zhiwen still makes a lot of money.

Therefore, everyone knows that if you want to make a lot of money by drawing comics, you still have to draw boys' comics and youth comics!

"You guy, you haven't entered this circle yet, and you're thinking about becoming famous?"

Seeing that Liu Yunjie was a little depressed, Xu Jingchen comforted him in a teasing way.

"Pa!"

At this time, Wen Rizhu slapped Liu Yunjie on the back.

"Yunjie, don't listen to him, we can definitely become famous! It's not wrong to think more now, but I think we should focus on it after you succeed. Who stipulates that your first comic is a girl comic, and the rest have to be girl comics?"

It must be said that Wen Rizhu's comforting method is more suitable for Liu Yunjie.

After listening to Wen Rizhu's words of comfort, Liu Yunjie's confidence finally came back a little!

Yes, as long as I work hard, I may not be worse than them in the future!

Who said that being He Zhiwen's assistant will make your future achievements inferior?
