Chapter 40: Autobots, Departure

In the early 80s, the comic industry in Hong Kong, like the film industry, ushered in a golden age, and at this time, the comic industry was the most proud of Huang Yilang.

In addition to the unauthorized reproduction of Japanese comics, the main market for Xiangjiang's current comics is occupied by underworld martial arts comics, among which Huang Yilang's 'Dragon and Tiger Gate' and Shangguan Xiaobao's 'Li Xiaolong' are the most popular. After several years of fighting between the two comics, Huang Yilang's comic company finally gained the upper hand recently, and some time ago finally persuaded Shangguan Xiaobao to agree to consider 'Li Xiaolong' under his own Ichiro company. The two comics have been fighting in Xiangjiang for nearly ten years, firmly occupying the position of champion and runner-up, and no one can beat the rest of the works, and now Huang Yilang is finally going to pocket both works, and it is not far from monopolizing the comic market.

But a comic that suddenly fell into the sky recently brought Huang Yilang's mood from the peak to the bottom.

In the comic production room of Ichiro's company, a 'Transformers' comic book was spread out on the table, Huang Yilang flipped through the pages one by one, and there was a circle of people along the table, some people followed Huang Yilang to watch silently, and others were whispering.

"Is it a beautiful manga? It looks a lot like that. ”

"The story looks like a comic, we haven't seen a serious sci-fi comic in Xiangjiang, but the style of reading and painting is still more like Xiangjiang comics, it should be drawn by our Xiangjiang people."

"That's not necessarily, maybe it was copied from Meiman, and this thing is not new." At this time, Xiangjiang was not so strict about copyright, and it was normal to directly translate and copy foreign comics, and he had not paid anyone any copyright. However, in recent years, it has begun to be somewhat regulated, and after more than ten years, it has almost disappeared, but it is mainly more and more diffuse.

"I sent this book to a friend abroad, and asked him to help see if there are similar ones in Europe and the United States, but it seems that there are no works with the theme of machine qì people in the United States now, or those people Batman or the like."

The voices became more and more noisy, Huang Yilang glanced around dissatisfiedly, and the argument slowly quieted down until it stopped.

"Why are you arguing about these useless things, if they are copied sooner or later, will they be used by you? Ah Ming, how about our Longhumen sales? ”

"It's not bad now, it hasn't affected me too much. But it's hard to say in the future.,The momentum of sales of this comic is too good.,It's very low-key in the early stage, and no one is there.,Now I feel like I'm going to sell crazy.。 Amin replied.

"Fortunately, the subject matter does not conflict." Huang Yilang sighed. 'Dragon Tiger Gate' and 'Li Xiaolong' fought fiercely, in addition to competing for the championship title, the main thing is that the themes are similar and compete for market share. But these two works are more suitable for adults because of the bloody and violent plots. Although there are also children who love to watch it, because it has been resisted by both parents and schools, sales are limited in this group. It is said that these two comics were also banned for a period of time in the past few years because of more violence and pornography, and then they were reined in. But how is it possible that a gangster martial arts manga is completely free from violence? Both can only play the side ball, carefully so that the scene does not cross the line, and at the same time play the sad card, so that all walks of life are more tolerant of Xiangjiang Comics, but it is impossible to eliminate violence.

But this machine qì man comic is different, the theme is like preaching 'justice will win', which is quite like a beautiful manga, because both good and evil are machine qì people, and there is no bloody violence. And because the overall plot is relatively positive, the media reversed the previous dislike of comics, and said good things about this comic, and some more enlightened parents also tolerated their children's behavior of reading comics, and even many people took the initiative to buy comics for their children to read, saying that it was to cultivate children's interest in science.

When I heard this, Huang Yilang wanted to complain, why didn't he cultivate his interest in martial arts? But I know my own affairs, and my comics have nothing to do with serious martial arts.

In short, this comic has captured the youth market coveted by Huang Yilang in one fell swoop, and in the case that all walks of life boycotted a number of Xiangjiang comics, including his own works, but gave the green light to Transformers, all the way unimpeded, and sold more than 300,000 copies in just one month, leaving the rest of the comics in the dust.

Huang Yilang smiled bitterly, touched the beautiful cover of the comics, and could see that the opponent had done it very carefully, each picture was drawn exquisitely, and he didn't even engage in weekly serialization and went directly to the single book. This made Huang Yilang secretly relieved, at least his comic weekly would not be affected. Look at the two steel machine qì people in the comics, called 'Optimus Prime' and 'Megatron', right? It's so well designed, and it has a sense of power when you look at it, so it's no wonder that those little boys are fascinated like this. Huang Yilang suddenly had an idea: "Why don't I try to paint this subject as well?" ”

Repulse Bay is a place where the wealthy of Xiangjiang gather, as well as Taiping Shan and later Victoria Bay, all of which are rich and wealthy. In comparison, Kowloon Tong, where Li Xuechu is located, feels far worse. drove the Volkswagen into front of a mansion in Repulse Bay, honked the horn, and a man immediately came inside, and after reading the license plate number, he opened the door directly without asking anything, and Li Xuechu drove in directly and stopped on a small parking apron.

"How can a rich man drive a car like this?" The man who opened the door complained silently. When Li Xuechu came for the first time, he was stopped outside by the man for a while, but he never passed it again.

Li Xuechu got out of the car, opened the trunk and took out an adult-height box and walked directly to the house.

"Mr. Li, I'll help you get it." The man hurriedly stepped forward to take the box.

"No, this thing doesn't weigh much." Li Xuechu refused with a smile.

"Brother Li!" An eleven or twelve-year-old boy immediately greeted Li Xuechu with bright eyes, but he was more looking at the box he was holding.

"Hehe, Ah Zhi, I brought you what you wanted, and there is nothing on the market." Li Xuechu said with a smile.

The little boy's name is Lin Wenzhi, and he is the little master of this house. Hearing this, he immediately took the box and opened it.

"Zhizai, why are you so rude." Lin Yujia also walked downstairs when she heard the sound, and a trace of joy flashed in her eyes when she saw Li Xuechu, but she still taught her younger brother a lesson first.

Chi Tsai turned his head and gave him a grimace, and then opened the box intently.

Lin Yujia glared at him angrily and funny, and said to Li Xuechu: "Don't bring him something every time, now he is playing wild." ”

"What's the matter, my grades are good, okay?" Chi Tsai protested, and at this time, the box was also opened, and inside was a large toy truck. Zhi Tsai didn't have time to pay attention to his sister, so he studied the truck again to see where to start.

"Zhizai, do you want me to help you?"

"No, I'm going to do it myself." Chi Tsai doesn't want others to do it, it will be a lot less fun.

Li Xuechu smiled and didn't care about him anymore, and asked Lin Yujia, "Grandpa is not here today?" ”

"Is your name Grandpa?" Lin Yujia blushed and said, "He went out today and won't come back until the evening." ”

It's not good! Li Xuechu actually came when he knew that Old Man Lin was not there, and if he wanted to, he would be dragged by him to talk for most of the day. The old man has already given the family property to his son, usually at home, what he likes to talk about most is his past eventful years, and he often asks Li Xuechu about the operation and management of the company, this thing Li Xuechu is not good and doesn't want to care, except for the financial and general directions, the specific affairs are thrown to Ye Zhiming to do, I don't know if I ask three questions, and I am taught a good lesson by the old man. Old man Lin is really ruthless when he teaches people, and he makes himself a little afraid of coming here, but if he doesn't come, he can't do it, Yujia is really a church school, the management is quite strict, almost completely closed, and it is troublesome to go in.

This time, it was thanks to the last time I came, Yujia 'accidentally' said that she leaked her mouth. The opportunity is rare, Li Xuechu said: "Let's go up and talk, shall we?" ”

Lin Yujia glanced at Zhi Zai, who was facing away from them, and nodded slightly. Li Xuechu was overjoyed, and took Yu Jia's hand and was about to go up, but Yu Jia struggled lightly and didn't break free, so he let him pull it.

"Hey, the girl is not in the middle." Zhi Tsai shook his head and whispered, but it was just enough for the two of them to hear.

Lin Yujia was ashamed and annoyed: "Do you want to die?" ”

"Ah, did I say anything?" Chi Tsai pretended to be stupid.

"I'll clean you up later, Chuzai, and ignore him." gave his younger brother a boost, Lin Yujia showed a bit of toughness, and pulled Li Xuechu up mainly because of the anti-guest. Li Xuechu is not embarrassed, his face is still quite thick.

"Hmph, think I don't know anything?" Chi Tsai fiddled with the truck and muttered to himself.

This thing is not difficult, Lin Wenzhi didn't get it long before an adult-tall Optimus Prime stood in front of the little boy.

"Hey, hey." Zhi Zai laughed with satisfaction, and then imitated the imaginary Autobot leader and shouted: "Autobots, out!" ”
