Hong Kong Comic Master

Chong Hing Plaza, Mongkok, Nathan Road, Kowloon, 8:50 am. ♡♢ ♦ ♦

Chen Weixian put on a shirt and trousers, combed his hair like an adult, got out of the taxi, looked up at the tall building, and was filled with emotion.

2D Magazine, here I come!

After the summer vacation began, Chen Weixian told his father that he wanted to intern at a magazine.

Of course Chen Jiarong fully supports it.

In today's Hong Kong Island, it is completely normal for 13- and 4-year-old children to go out to work. A child who can graduate from middle school is already a high-level intellectual.

Apart from anything else, in the Hong Kong comics industry alone, many great figures started working at this age.

For example, Shangguan Xiaobao entered the industry at the age of 11, Huang Yulang started contributing to newspapers and magazines at the age of 10, Ma Rongcheng joined "Good News" at the age of 15, etc...

Chen Weixian was very excited at the moment. He was one step closer to his idol. Could he come here and see the latest episode of "Death" earlier?

Thinking of this, Chen Weixian took steps towards the elevator.

It was the rush hour for work, and the elevator was very crowded. The smell of coffee, pineapple buns, pasta, and other breakfasts filled the small elevator.

Finally, after riding the elevator that looked like a sardine can and arriving at the 16th floor, Chen Weixian was finally able to get out of the elevator.

On the left side of the elevator was DreamWorks, and on the right side was A2D Magazine. After sorting out his crumpled clothes, Chen Weixian looked around, then turned right without looking back, heading towards the place he was looking forward to. magazine for a long time, but ignored that the company behind it is the parent company of the magazine.

Upon entering the magazine, the first thing that caught your eye was a wall with a huge poster hanging on it, and it was clearly Kuro Ichigo.

Seeing this scene, Chen Weixian felt inexplicably excited. He had indeed come to the right place!

In front of the wall was a beautiful young lady serving as the receptionist. After seeing Chen Weixian, she asked in a gentle tone: "Hello, what can I do for you?"

"Hello, I'm here for an internship. My name is Chen Weixian!"

"Okay, wait a moment, I'll check!"

As he said this, the young lady at the front desk began to rummage clumsily with a notebook.

"Found it, the second editorial team, Editor Yang's intern assistant, so you can report to the Human Resources Department opposite first, in... the third office on the left opposite!"

"Huh? On the other side? Thank you... thank you!"

Chen Weixian looked at this beautiful young lady and couldn't help but blush.

In order to save money, the magazine currently only has the editorial team. As for other departments, they are temporarily represented by DreamWorks. They will be separated separately when the magazine's income further increases.

Although this is illegal, it is very common in today's barbaric era. ]|I{•------» «------•}I|[

In this way, Chen Weixian could only turn around and come to DreamWorks, which he didn't pay attention to at all just now.

There is also a front desk here. After telling him his intention, he then entered the company smoothly. There were large offices separated by glass, with names written on the doors: Administration Department, Finance Department, Human Resources Department...

Found it!

I knocked on the door and entered. In less than an hour, after filling out various forms and information, I finally returned to the magazine and came to the second editorial team.

"Editor Yang, this is your assistant, summer job!"

"OK, thanks!"

In front of the desk, a middle-aged man who was reading a manuscript raised his head and said hello to the personnel, then lowered his head again, "You sit at the table next to me!"

"yes!"

When Chen Weixian saw this, he didn't bother to introduce himself and directly found the empty table and sat down.

I don’t know how long it took, whether it was 30 minutes, 40 minutes or an hour, but Editor Yang finally finished his work.

"Sorry to keep you waiting. We have a serialization meeting in the afternoon, so it took some time to prepare the materials!"

Editor Yang pulled over a chair and sat opposite Chen Weixian.

"No...it doesn't matter, I didn't wait too long!"

"Gululu..."

However, before he finished speaking, his stomach rang!

Today is the first time in his life to go to work. He has no experience and has not eaten breakfast at all. As a result, it is only 11:15 and he is already hungry.

Chen Weixian blushed for a moment.

"The canteen hasn't opened yet. I have snacks here. Do you want to eat some first?"

Chen Weixian quickly shook his head like a rattle.

When Editor Yang saw this, he felt inexplicably funny.

Yesterday, he received a notice from Uncle He, saying that a summer job from the magazine company was assigned to him and he was asked to take it with him.

And it was emphatically hinted that this child's identity was unusual.

Editor Yang understood immediately.

He has only been in the magazine for two months, but he has seen many second-generation ancestors with background come to visit the magazine. After all, with the promotion of two-dimensional magazines, there are very few children in Hong Kong who don't know about it.

But this was the first time I met someone like Chen Weixian who was going to be an editor.

Editor Yang originally thought this would be a troublesome matter, but through the recent contact, Editor Yang discovered that this child is quite well-behaved!

"Okay, then you just have to endure it for another hour! Let me talk about the specific work of editing!"

When he heard that Editor Yang was going to teach, Chen Weixian immediately pricked up his ears and listened attentively.

"Our editors are mainly looking for suitable comics to be serialized. As you know, there are only three comics in the "Second Dimension Youth Weekly", which is far from enough. Our magazine's goal is to serialize at least seven comics."

"Seven?" Chen Weixian asked in surprise.

If a magazine can have seven outstanding comics, what a sight it would be!

"That's right! But this goal is very difficult for us. We held two serialization meetings before, but all failed. No comics can be serialized!"

"It's so strict!"

"Yes! We all said privately: It's harder than climbing to the sky to serialize in the two-dimensional magazine!"

"But aren't there three serial writers in the magazine? It means that there are still people who can do it!"

"That's true, but the magazine has been established for more than three months, and no one has seen any of these three cartoonists!"

"Ah? How is this possible? How do they submit their manuscripts?"

Hearing this, Chen Weixian was disappointed. One of the most important purposes of coming to the two-dimensional magazine was to meet Wansui, but no one in the magazine had seen him. Didn't he come here in vain?

"Someone specially sent the manuscript to Uncle He, oh, that's Editor-in-Chief He, he is currently the head of the magazine! To be honest, if we hadn't seen the real cartoons, we would have doubted whether these cartoonists really existed?"

"Hey, don't tell anyone about this!"

"I won't, I'm very tight-lipped!" Chen Weixian promised hastily.

Editor Yang also realized that he had said too much, so he quickly stood up and patted Chen Weixian on the shoulder, forcibly ending the gossip topic.

"Okay, let's not talk too much for now, you will slowly understand it in the editorial office later, let me tell you what you are going to do first..."
