Chapter 34: Seeking Help

Xiang Junfei is a man of action, and after making up his mind, he is thinking about how he can make "Full Time Hunter" and "Next Stop Superstar" land in the Hong Kong comic world. The reason why Xiang Junfei was able to debut in the mainland was with the help of the solicitation of "The King of Paintings", but can he get such an opportunity in Hong Kong?

Unlike the mainland, Hong Kong began their new comic movement as early as the 70s, and the highly functional and aggressive martial arts masterpiece "Little Rascals" launched by a generation of comic master Wong Yuk-lang set the future development direction for Hong Kong comics. In addition, the publishing mechanism of Hong Kong comics is also very different from that of the mainland, in Hong Kong is allowed to publish by individuals, Huang Yulang synthesized the techniques of Chinese comics, American comics, and Japanese comics, and finally determined that his comics were printed in color on A4 paper, with a thin copy of about thirty or forty pages, published in the form of a weekly magazine, that is to say, Hong Kong cartoonists want to launch comics, and their first choice will not be to serialize them in a certain comic magazine like Japanese cartoonists, and then release a single book after the drafts are sufficient. Instead, he jumped out of the serialization of comic magazines and published a single book with thirty or forty pages of drawings per week through the publishing house.

As far as the current Hong Kong comic scene is concerned, the trend of dragon and tiger hegemony has been formed, and the "dragon" is the Jade Dynasty Publishing House led by Huang Yulang, which gathers comic masters including Huang Yulang, Qi Wenjie, Xu Jingchen, Qiu Fulong, etc., and is the largest comic publishing house in Hong Kong; "Tiger" is the world publishing house under the command of Ma Rongcheng, although the influence is not enough for the Jade Dynasty, but with Ma Rongcheng's personal influence flag and Shaojie, Danqing, Shaojie, Wen Riliang, Ye Ming, Wen Riliang and other comic elites are still the only comic publishing house in Hong Kong that can compete with the Jade Dynasty, if the entire Hong Kong comic market is compared to a big cake, and cut into ten parts, then these two comic publishing houses together occupy eight of them, The remaining two copies were divided among other small comic publishers.

If he could, of course, Xiang Junfei hoped that he could become a cartoonist of the Jade Dynasty or the world, but the Hong Kong comic industry is very particular about seniority, and it is not after years of hard work that he can become a cartoonist written by major publishing houses, and there are complex interpersonal relationships in it. Although Xiang Junfei currently has the reputation of "the first person in mainland comics", how many people in Hong Kong will care about him as the "first person"?

All of this makes Xiang Junfei uncertain, but Xiang Junfei still thinks that gold will always shine, since his "Full-Time Hunter" and "Next Stop Superstar" have proven that they are all good comics that are extremely popular with readers in the mainland, then there is no reason why they are not favored by Hong Kong readers, and now they are just one platform away from allowing them to prove themselves in the Hong Kong comic world.

If you can, Xiang Junfei really wants to fly to Hong Kong immediately, and then go to every comic publishing house to promote himself, but not to mention that as a junior high school student, he doesn't have this time, more importantly, during this period, Hong Kong has not yet returned to China, how easy it is to go to Hong Kong, just to apply for a visa and a series of troublesome things I don't know how much time it takes, so after thinking about it, Xiang Junfei came to the conclusion that the only way to do this is to turn to Wang Yongsheng to see if the other party has this way, so that "Full-time Hunter" and "" Next Stop Superstar" has entered the field of vision of Hong Kong comic fans.

Because the painting king magazine has been disbanded, he will not receive it if he sends a letter to Junfei according to the original address, so Wang Yongsheng left a phone number in the letter he sent to Xiang Junfei a few days ago, saying that if Xiang Junfei has anything to do after that, he can call him directly.

Originally, Xiang Junfei didn't expect that he would trouble others so soon, after all, the suspension of "The King of Painting" dealt a great blow to the old man, in this period, it is best to let the old man recuperate at home with peace of mind, but Xiang Junfei thought left and right, in this matter, the person who may be able to help him is also the only Wang Yongsheng, otherwise he has no way, how to let those two comics enter the Hong Kong comic world.

Xiang Junfei no longer hesitated, took out the letter in the drawer, copied the phone number inside on a small note, and then put it in his pocket, ready to call Wang Yongsheng after school today, and tell the other party his request.

At the entrance of Nantian Middle School, there are green trees and flowers, and everyone who comes to this school for the first time can't help but admire the beauty of this school. However, the good scenery did not bring a good mood to Xiang Junfei, and when he walked to the school gate with his schoolbag on his back, he was still worried and melancholy.

There is no doubt that Xiang Junfei is worried about whether his two comics can successfully enter Hong Kong, although Xiang Junfei has no doubt that Wang Yongsheng will help him after hearing his request, but what if the other party has no way in this regard like himself? If this is the case, Xiang Junfei only gave up Hong Kong, patiently waiting for the "5155" project announced during the summer vacation next year, with his current popularity in China, "Beijing Cartoon", "Juvenile Comics", "Comics King", "Cartoon Pioneer", "China Cartoon" These five comic magazines, no matter which one, will rush to invite themselves to join the "first person in mainland comics" when it is launched. He was only able to choose one of them to continue the serialization of the two comics.

As soon as he thought of this, Xiang Junfei couldn't help but sigh, and prayed in his heart that such a thing would never happen.

Suddenly, a hand was put on Xiang Junfei's shoulder: "What are you thinking?" So focused? ”

Hearing this familiar voice, you knew that it was Ma Qiang. Although Ma Qiang's grades are not enough to go to this key middle school, his family is willing to spend money for this only child, and after spending tens of thousands, Ma Qiang finally became a member of Nantian Middle School, but now Ma Qiang and Xiang Junfei are not students in the same class, Ma Qiang's class 7 is specially set up for these students who are not enough to rely on money to enter the school. Although they are in different classes, Xiang Junfei still regards this colleague in elementary school as a friend, and after entering junior high school, he still often gets together to talk about the world and talk about topics of interest to both parties - animation.

At this time, Xiang Junfei didn't want Ma Qiang to find out what was on his mind, so he forced a smile and said: "It's nothing, I'm thinking about a math problem assigned by the teacher yesterday, and I'm thinking about whether there is a simpler way to solve the problem." ”

"Oh my God, thinking about this kind of brain-hurting thing early in the morning, I really don't understand you honor students, being a man, having fun as soon as possible is the truth, haven't you heard Bai Juyi say that life must be happy, don't make the gold bottle empty to the moon?"

Fortunately, Xiang Junfei wasn't eating in his mouth today, otherwise he would definitely squirt out on the spot when he heard Ma Qiang's words.

"You kid can't say it, don't talk nonsense, when did "Will Enter the Wine" become Bai Juyi's poem, this is Li Bai's poem, fortunately, I am the only one who heard it today, otherwise you wouldn't be laughed to death by others!"
