Text Chapter 24, Hong Kong Comics

In the next month or so, Lei Weidong lived a very comfortable life, you have to ask why, of course the days with the big beauty around him are always nonsense.

What Lei Weidong does every day is to dictate the content of "The Legend of Double Dragons of the Tang Dynasty", and then Wang Wei and Liu Tao record it, and one person records it for half an hour, so that the workload can be maximized, and people will not be tired and sick.

Working twelve hours a day, recording an average of more than 8,000 words per hour. completed a 100,000-word manuscript in one day, and it only took a little more than a month for "The Legend of Double Dragons of the Tang Dynasty" to be completed.

Seeing the finished manuscript of "The Legend of Double Dragons of the Tang Dynasty", Chen Haiming's eyes almost popped out, is this still human!

It took more than a month to complete the creation of a novel of more than 3 million words, although Lei Weidong only needs to dictate and have someone responsible for recording it, but you have to make up the storyline in your head.

Last time Lei Weidong said that the storyline was all in his head, Chen Haiming thought that Lei Weidong was just listing the outline, but now it seems that Lei Weidong has written all the novels in his head. What kind of brain is this!

Chen Haiming had a strong urge to cut off Lei Weidong's head and see what was inside, it was incredible.

What Chen Haiming thinks, Lei Weidong doesn't know and doesn't want to ask, it's better to chat with Zhong Da Beauty when he has that time.

The relationship between Lei Weidong and Zhong Damei has been very heated in the past month or so.

has already broken through the first base and reached the second base, as for the legendary third base, with Lei Weidong's current age, in order to live a few more years, so as not to become a eunuch after the age of forty, it is better to endure it, some things are still waiting for adults to talk.

After all, there was a terrifying divine beast that had been hovering over Lei Weidong! It's better to be careful.

There is also the matter of going to school, the start date of school has long passed, Wu Bo asked Lei Weidong to report to the school to see when he will go back to class.

But now that there are so many things, how can Lei Weidong have time to go to school, and besides, you let Lei Weidong be an uncle in his thirties, at least psychologically.

Go to school with your teenage children. Then you might as well kill him. Anyway, his parents are not there, and Uncle Wu can't take care of it.

However, what surprised Lei Weidong was that when Lei Weidong went to the school to go through the withdrawal procedures, the principal did not agree to Lei Weidong's withdrawal.

What the principal meant was that it didn't matter if Lei Weidong came to class or not, even if he didn't take the exam. The school can let Lei Weidong stay in the school until graduation in the name of a special student. If needed, the school can send Lei Weidong to university.

For the principal's hospitality, Lei Weidong, who was bent on dropping out, was strange but still refused.

But after everything was settled, the headmaster turned around and took out a large stack of notebooks and asked for signatures. Lei Weidong realized that the principal was also a fan of novels.

A single edition of the first half of "The Legend of Qin" also began to be published, as expected.

As soon as the novel was published, it was snapped up by fans of "Xun Qin". The first printing of 200,000 copies sold out in less than a month, and although many of them were bought by fans in the bend-bent and Southeast Asian regions, the popularity of "Xun Qin" was still beyond everyone's expectations.

The publishing house urgently printed another 200,000 copies and put them on the market. It temporarily alleviated the enthusiasm of Hong Kong book lovers.

What makes Lotus Publishing even happier is that the popularity of "Xun Qin Ji" in Hong Kong has also attracted the attention of Taiwan and Southeast Asia.

Before the Lotus Publishing House could exert its efforts in these places, many booksellers went to the Lotus Publishing House to buy goods.

In Xu Dong's words to Lei Weidong, the sales of "Xun Qin" are only the beginning, and Taiwan and Southeast Asia are the big sellers of the novel.

Judging from the sales situation in Hong Kong, "Xun Qin Ji" can still sell at least one million copies in these regions, which can be said to be second only to Master Jin in these years.

The booming sales results have also brought rich profits. The first two printing sessions alone brought Lei Weidong more than 3 million Hong Kong dollars, and now Lei Weidong has almost 4 million in cash. It can be said that Lei Weidong already has the capital to enter the comic industry.

In fact, according to the current standard of living in Hong Kong, 4 million is not to mention entering the comic industry, it is okay to enter the newspaper and film industry, but Lei Weidong likes to work steadily and does not like to take risks because of the influence of his character in his previous life.

This kind of personality can be said to be a big taboo in doing business. In the early stages of business, few people succeed in being indecisive and indecisive.

In his previous life, Lei Weidong was like this, just a small person. However, in Hong Kong in the 70s, Lei Weidong, who had advanced memory, this kind of character could make him lay a solid foundation and avoid attracting attention because of too fast development, and finally being swallowed up.

Because he wanted to enter the comics industry, Lei Weidong first had some understanding of the current comic market in Hong Kong.

I know that Hong Kong comics have actually begun to flourish since the late 60s, but at this time, Hong Kong comics were influenced by a large number of foreign comics.

At that time, TVB Hong Kong released a large number of Japanese cartoons, such as "Green Water Hero", "Judo Donkey Kong", "Astro Boy", "Spark of Youth" and "Superman", etc.

Clever comic publishers have seized the opportunity to reprint a large number of such comics, and the Hong Kong comic market is flooded with a large number of unauthorized reprints of Japanese comics, which has caused a lot of impact and influence on young comic artists who have been deeply influenced by Chinese comics.

Huang Yulang, Shangguan Xiaobao, Shangguan Xiaoqiang and others followed suit and devoted themselves to the creation of new comic strips, showing their own style and forming their own models in publishing, thus driving and influencing the entire Hong Kong comic industry and comic publishing industry.

The single-frame comics of the older generation are no longer able to compete with the martial arts skills of cinematic and storyboard comics, as well as comic strips with social realism.

At the beginning of 1974, due to the same social atmosphere in Hong Kong at that time, comic strips (also known as doll paintings) were influenced by the liberation of Europe and the United States, and some of the works were overly rendered. Sentiment and violence have drawn condemnation from people from all walks of life in Hong Kong.

The Hong Kong Association of Social Workers and the Rotary Club 345 International Junior Service Corps jointly published the doll painting on violence and color. A report of the situation.

The Hong Kong Legislative Council also passed the "Undesirable Publications Act" on July 2, 1975, which caused a wail in the Hong Kong comic market at that time, and a large number of comic strip companies closed down and changed careers.

And in this case, Huang Yulang has suddenly stood out from the comic industry.

Two years ago, Huang Yulang launched a self-discipline campaign to stop publishing pornography because the Hong Kong government officially passed the "Bad Publications Law", and the police sent officers to the newsstand to ban and arrest people. Love letters are famous.

Created Yulang International Co., Ltd. and started his own comic dynasty.

I am very familiar with Huang Yulang Lei Weidong's previous life, of course, I am familiar with Huang Yulang's company name and his painting style, after all, as long as the Hong Kong comic painting style is almost the same in later generations, it is all Huang Yulang's style, I am not very familiar with him, but I know Huang Yulang, formerly known as Huang Zhenlong, and his early pen name was Huang Xuansheng.

He is a famous cartoonist in Hong Kong, the godfather of the Hong Kong comic industry, and the founder of the Jade Dynasty (later Wenhuaxin), the largest comic publishing group in Hong Kong.

The comics published by him are not only extremely popular in Hong Kong, but also occupy an important position in Chinese-speaking regions such as Southeast Asia, Taiwan and Chinese mainland, and his representative style has been in action for more than 30 years, creating a historical record for long-form comics in Hong Kong.

He introduced the modeling and drawing techniques of Japanese comics, combined with the traditional Chinese comic book form, and created a new era of Hong Kong comics.

It's just that in 1991, Huang Yulang was acquired by Huang Yulang International Co., Ltd. because of tax evasion, and he was imprisoned.

It can be said that because of the Hong Kong government's suppression of comic publications in 1975, the comic industry is not very prosperous until now, and many comic publishing houses have changed careers and regarded comic publications as hot and thin.

And there are no good comics on the market at all, except for Huang Yulang's, and Shangguan Xiaobao's is quite good. This is also why Li Rui scratched his head when he heard that Lei Weidong was going to enter the comic industry.

However, although the comic market is not very prosperous now, this shows that the threshold for entering the comic industry has been lowered a lot, which is just right for newcomers like Lei Weidong to enter.

More importantly, entering such an industry, Lei Weidong does not need to worry about being suppressed by those old Hong Kong giants before he grows.
