Chapter 144: Life is a Waste of Success

"This year, there is no time for "Qingcheng Sword Immortal"!" Huang Yulang asked the lawyer to look at the agreement of the "Ming Pao" Group, signed it, and said with a smile, "Next year, Yulang Company has signed contracts with graduates of art majors in major schools in Hong Kong." At that time, at least 100 students who share the same art skills will join Yulang Company! In addition, Yulang Company's recruitment advertisements in Hong Kong and Taiwan can also recruit some painters. When the time comes, there will be enough manpower. will organize people to draw "Qingcheng Sword Immortal"! ”

Zhang Shaojie smiled: "Okay! I wish "Dragon Babu", "Condor Heroes" and other works to make a lot of money, so that in the future, more Chinese novels can be adapted into comics by Yulang Company! ”

Soon after communicating with Huang Yulang.

Suddenly I heard an argument outside the door.

"Qi Wenjie! Don't bully others, didn't the comic "Chinese Heroes" agree to be published a few months ago? Why the backtracking now? ”

"Little Pony! A few months ago, "Datang" was not popular, and the adaptation rights of works such as "Dragon Babu" and "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" have not yet been obtained, and the company has more manpower! Now, there are so many popular comics in the Yulang organization, and you don't know how to release the unpromising "Chinese Heroes" in the future."

"Don't know how to lift? Okay, let's talk about it, what is the meaning of consciousness lifting? ”

"Lift? You can just join "Datang" or "Dragon Babu" and draw these more promising comics. With a salary of 5,000 yuan a month, you will know how to lift! "Chinese Heroes", a new work that does not know the blessings and misfortunes, you want to release it at this time, how can the company find an assistant to help you draw it? ”

"I'm painting alone!" Ma Rongcheng said loudly.

Qi Wenjie said: "Alone, don't be naΓ―ve!" Is it the speed of one book a month? For today's comic readers, the minimum requirement is to publish one every two weeks! Are you able to guarantee the quality alone and complete one session in two weeks? You're not God! Don't be so arrogant."

"What's going on?" Zhang Shaojie frowned.

Huang Yulang shook his head and said, "That Ma Rongcheng, it's really annoying!" The comic of "Chinese Heroes", I also read it, and it is general, not much different from "Dragon Tiger Gate", the company has "Dragon Tiger Gate" in serialization, in fact, there is no need for similar "Chinese Heroes" to fight in the ring and grab popularity! Let him come out next year, but he wants to come out now! Now the company's "Dragon and Tiger Gate", "Datang", "Dragon Babu", "Condor Heroes. There are not enough people, how can it be possible for him to release "Chinese Heroes"! ”

Zhang Shaojie was stunned, "Chinese Heroes" was even denied the release of the first issue? Damn, wouldn't it? Poor Ma Rongcheng!

At this time, only the sound of "Peng" was heard.

Ma Rongcheng actually slammed the door open.

Qi Wenjie followed behind and said embarrassedly: "Brother Xiaoma, you can just get angry in front of me, you actually knocked the door open, it's really embarrassing to appear in front of the boss and Zhang Shaojie."

Although Zhang Shaojie was taken aback, he waved his hand and asked, "What's the matter?" ”

Qi Wenjie explained the cause and effect, which was nothing more than because the company was going to adapt several popular comics, so he snubbed Ma Rongcheng. refused to let "Chinese Heroes" be published for a long time, so Ma Rongcheng was angry!

"Say no more!" Ma Rongcheng's face was arrogant.

He first bowed to Zhang Shaojie and said, "I'm sorry, Mr. Zhang!" You have given you so many ideas and suggestions, and I am grateful to this day. However, Ma Rongcheng has embarrassed you, and even the inaugural issue of "Chinese Heroes" has been rejected! Yulang Company doesn't want to stay anyway, I don't want to stay here, I have my own place to stay! It's really not good, go to this book, the comic market over there will not be dominated by Yulang Company like Hong Kong."

The more Ma Rongcheng spoke, the more excited he became.

Huang Yulang said coldly: "Want to resign? All right! You can endure it! That's right! You broke this door, you should pay for it, right? Your salary is about 3,000 yuan, and this broken door is worth 7,000! ”

Ma Rongcheng took a deep breath and said, "I'll accompany!" However, I didn't sell the copyright of "Chinese Heroes" to the company, and after I resigned, I went to another place to publish "Chinese Heroes"! Believe it or not, in the future, I will use more excellent results to make you ashamed! ”

Zhang Shaojie didn't know how to persuade.

I saw that Ma Rongcheng quickly took out his resignation letter, took out all the cash from his wallet, and threw it coldly on the desk

Zhang Shaojie was about to step forward to stop him.

Huang Yulang waved his hand and said, "Shaojie! Let him go! This Ma Rongcheng, really think he is a buried genius? When he begs on the street in the future, he will know how hard it is to work in Yulang Company."

Ay! Zhang Shaojie blamed himself a little.

originally thought that it would be a good thing to mention Ma Rongcheng and let "Chinese Heroes" come before the next life. Unexpectedly, because "Datang", "Dragon Babu", and "The Condor Heroes" changed their comics 20 years in advance, "Chinese Heroes" was rejected by Yulang Company at the beginning

Little Brother Ma, he won't think about it, right?

Zhang Shaojie is worried!

In the Hong Kong comics industry, only Ma Rongcheng can compete with Huang Yulang! Such an absolute genius is now so confused

―――――――― because he cared more about Ma Rongcheng, Zhang Shaojie said goodbye to Huang Yulang and others and chased Yulang International Company.

"Master, Zhang Shaojie seems to care about that Ma Rongcheng!" Qi Wenjie frowned.

"Shaojie is a person who values feelings, and it is said that some of the plots in "Chinese Heroes" are given by Zhang Shaojie to give him guidance. Now because the company's manpower is too tight, he has to give up "Chinese Heroes", and Ma Chengrong resigned. Zhang Shaojie felt a little guilty, thinking that he was sorry for Ma Rongcheng" Huang Yulang shook his head and said, "Zhang Shaojie is actually a soft mentality!" ”

Qi Wenjie said: "If Zhang Shaojie supports him to release "Chinese Heroes", what should I do? ”

Huang Yulang said disapprerovingly: "Just let him out!" Anyway, we have popular comics such as "The Legend of Double Dragons of the Tang Dynasty" and "Dragon Tiger Gate", and these two comics alone have occupied half of the Hong Kong comics market! In addition, Jin Yong's "Dragon Babu" and "The Condor Heroes" are also about to be adapted into comics, and the Hong Kong comics market is destined to have the exclusive market share of our company! Ma Rongcheng is the first to be famous, the second is not an excellent team, and the third is no smooth distribution channels! Doomed to fail! ”

"Huh!" Qi Wenjie also smiled, "It's me who is too worried!" In the Hong Kong comics market, the population base is so large, and the readers have stabilized. Forgive Ma Rongcheng and can't go against the sky! ”

"Actually, Ma Rongcheng has a way to go!" Huang Yulang said indifferently.

"Oh?" Qi Wenjie was curious, "He can turn the sky up by himself?" ”

"In Hong Kong, I estimate that Ma Chengrong can't turn the sky upside down, but what if he goes to Yueben?" Huang Yulang said.

"Let's go to Yuben, maybe try your luck. The comic market over there is relatively huge, and the single line of top popular comic episodes can sell millions of copies! The second-tier author, a single comic book, can also sell tens of thousands of copies, as long as it is not too bad, it is possible to make ends meet! Qi Wenjie said.

Huang Yulang smiled: "If he goes to the capital to develop, it's fine!" Hong Kong Man can only sell a few thousand copies in the current issue of the book,Ma Rongcheng's painting style,If it can be accepted in the book,It is equivalent to opening up the market for Hong Kong Man's painting style! ”

Huang Yulang, Qi Wenjie and others, they are too conceited!

Because, throughout the 70s, after the establishment of Yulang International, after several years of hard work, swept the crowd, the entire Hong Kong comic market, basically included in the territory of Yulang International. Other comic companies are basically not in the climate.

Yulang International's only competitor in the Hong Kong comics market is the only comics.

It is the unification of Hong Kong that makes Huang Yulang and others pay less attention to Ma Rongcheng's "Chinese Heroes"!

However, this incident is destined to become the biggest eye-catching case in the Hong Kong art world

―――――――――――――― tudu tudu, the bright sun on the street, and the shrill sound of cars, wearing a crumpled suit, cracked leather shoes, and about 200 yuan in his wallet.

Ma Rongcheng's heart is boundless miserable - it's over, everything is over, he has loved painting since he was a child, and he left school to engage in the comic industry at the age of 15.

So far, Ma Rongcheng has been in the comics industry for 5 years. 20-year-old young people are full of ideals and aspirations for careers. However, in exchange for only the present, nothing can be accomplished! Ma Rongcheng did not regret resigning from Yulang International Company, in fact, before he resigned, he thought about it, borrowing money to go to Yueben, maybe he could create a way in Yueben. Hong Kong's comic market is dominated by Yulang International, but the pattern of this book is full of flowers.

In any case, you can't waste your time like this!

Ma Rongcheng thought to himself, Huang Yulang became famous in his teens, and became a giant in the Hong Kong comics industry in his 20s, opening Yulang International Company to monopolize the art world. Although I don't dare to imagine that Huang Yulang is as beautiful, I must at least have a serialized comic with my name on it!

It really doesn't take much, Ma Rongcheng just wants his own "Chinese Heroes" serialization, even if it is serialized for more than ten issues, he is ordered to end hastily, it is better than now, being an assistant to other people's popular comics in Yulang International Company, it is better to do miscellaneous work, and the comic assistant - he is not even qualified to sign his name!

"Looking for death?" A car, emergency braking, the owner honked the horn and yelled at Ma Rongcheng dissatisfiedly.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry!" Ma Rongcheng felt bitter in his heart, and apologized to the owner in a low voice.

"Paralyzed! A poor rotten boy who wants to harm Lao Tzu! Lao Tzu's new car just bought 450,000 Hong Kong dollars! A layer of paint is worth your life! In any case, I want to give you a profound lesson, so that you will lose your soul in the future and harm other drivers" The owner of the car is tall and big, at least one meter eight, pulling the collar of Ma Rongche, and slapping it down continuously.

Ma Rongcheng begged bitterly, and was even beaten to his knees begging for mercy, but the owner still refused to let him go.

Zhang Shaojie caught up with him, and finally saw Ma Rongcheng and a car owner beating him, and immediately stepped forward and said, "Hey! What are you doing? If there is a law, how can you beat people in public? ”

The owner of the car said coldly: "This person is looking for death, he crashed like a lost soul on the road, and almost caused Lao Tzu to break into a car accident, it is still light to beat him, if you bring the little brother today, let the little brother cut him a few times!" ”

"How are you going to let him go?" Zhang Shaojie asked.
