Chapter 43 Signing the Dongli Contract (4)

Originally, Dong Li decided to return to Guangzhou early tomorrow morning, and Hong Kong Dongli was the last comic publishing house he visited before leaving. However, after handing over the sketch to the assistant general manager and asking the other party to transfer it to Deng Cheng, he had been in the living room for an hour, but he didn't reply for a long time, so he subconsciously thought that the other party had refused to sign "Full-Time Hunter" and "Next Stop Superstar".

In the past few days, he has visited many comic publishing houses for these two comics, but each publishing house disdains these two comics, refuses to sign a contract, and comes to visit Hong Kong Dongli on the last day before leaving with the attitude of being entrusted with loyalty, and he is unexpectedly treated coldly, which makes Dong Li can only sigh that he has done his best, although he regrets, but he can only tell Wang Yongsheng that he has not completed his entrustment.

Just as Dong Li walked out of Hong Kong Dongli Company and came to the bus stop to take a ride back to his residence, he heard someone behind him panting and shouting: "Mr. Dong, Mr. Dong, etc." ”

Dong Li subconsciously turned around and found that the assistant who had just received him was waving to him while running over him.

When the other party ran in front of him, Dong Li asked suspiciously, "Sir, what are you?" ”

The assistant bent over while panting and said, "...... Mr. Dong, it's a good thing you didn't go far...... Manager Deng has just come out, and I can see that he attaches great importance to your sketches, so I must ask you to go back. ”

Dong Li didn't expect that things would take a turn for the better, but since things were developing on the good side, Dong Li was naturally willing to return to Hong Kong Dongli Company with this assistant.

Since he just asked his assistant to go out to find the "pit boy", Deng Chengcheng has not returned to the office, but has been walking in circles at the door of the company. Deng Cheng, who watched "Full-Time Hunter" and "The Next Stop Diva", fully believes that these two works can become important tools for Dongli to open up the market in the future.

Just when Deng Cheng was upset and remembered like an ant on a hot pot, he saw from a distance that his assistant was leading a middle-aged man towards the company, and he was immediately relieved, knowing that he finally didn't let a "thousand miles horse" slip under his nose.

When the assistant led Dong Li into the gate of Hong Kong Dongli Company, Deng Chengcheng hurriedly greeted him, held Dong Li's hand, and said earnestly: "Mr. is the author of "Full-time Hunter" and "Next Stop Superstar", I'm really sorry just now, please forgive me for not being able to receive it, snubbing Mr., it's really that the two cartoons you drew are so attractive, I can read it for a while and forget that Mr. is still waiting outside." ”

"Mr. Deng, don't be sorry, I was anxious just now, and I thought you couldn't read those two comics."

Deng Cheng hurriedly shook his head when he heard it: "How can it be, to be honest, I have been engaged in comic publishing for some years, whether it is Japanese comics, Taiwanese comics or Hong Kong comics, I have seen a lot, but there are very few comics that can reach the level of "Full-time Hunter" and "Next Stop Superstar", it can be said that even in Japan, a big comic country, these two works are definitely rare masterpieces. ”

Although Dong Li had heard a lot of praise from the other party before accepting Wang Yongsheng's commission, and he himself felt that they were both good works after browsing the two comics, but the repeated rejections these days made him think that the two works were really out of stream or that they were just brilliant in the mainland comic world, and they were sparse and ordinary in the Hong Kong comic world, but at this time, he heard Deng Cheng praise the two comics so much, and couldn't help but wonder: "No, are these two comics really that brilliant?" ”

"Of course, I'm still very confident in my own vision. But then again, what surprised me the most this time was not the two manga themselves, but you, sir. Although there was also this kind of situation in the early days of the Japanese manga industry, where male cartoonists drew both shonen manga and girl manga, but since the Japanese shoujo manga market was occupied by female manga artists, there are very few male manga artists to draw shoujo manga, let alone someone like you, who is involved in both shonen manga and shoujo manga, which is really remarkable! ”

"Mr. Deng, you misunderstood, I am not the author of these two comics, but I was entrusted to bring these two comics to Hong Kong to see if any publishers will be interested in the two comics."

"Bringing it to Hong Kong? Could it be that these two comics are from the hands of mainland cartoonists? ”

"That's right, in fact, the author of these two comics is called Xiang Junfei, a mainland cartoonist, originally both works were published in a comic magazine called "Painting King" in the mainland, but last year, for some reason, "Painting King" was discontinued, and there are no other comic publications in the mainland now, so the two comics can't find a place to publish."

"Well, that's a pity." Although Deng Cheng felt sorry for the suspension of the magazine "King of Painting", he was secretly calling for luck in his heart, "If it weren't for the suspension of "King of Painting", maybe I would have missed this cartoonist, but I really can't imagine that there can be such a level of cartoonists in the mainland, it seems that the company can not only pay attention to the comic circles in Japan, Taiwan, and Hong Kong, but also pay more attention to the mainland comic world, who knows when, there will be some cartoonists like Xiang Junfei who can emerge there." ”

"By the way, sir, can you tell me the phone number of Mr. Xiang, because I have decided to sign those two comics, so I want to get in touch with Mr. Xiang as soon as possible to discuss related matters." Deng Cheng said urgently.

If Dong Li knew Xiang Junfei's phone number, then he would definitely tell Deng Cheng immediately, but he did not have Xiang Junfei's phone number, so he could only tell: "This, I don't have his phone number either, I just know that he lives in Chongqing and is a thirteen-year-old boy." ”

"Wait, I'...... Did I hear me right, you said that the author of "Full Time Hunter" and "Next Stop Superstar" is a thirteen-year-old boy? ”

"Well, that's right, this author is only thirteen years old, and he is still in his first year of junior high school."

Deng Chengzhou looked at Dong Li dumbfounded, he couldn't believe that the painting he had just heard, a thirteen-year-old child, could achieve such attainments in comics, which was completely beyond the scope of what he could understand.
