Hong Kong Comic Master

"Azhi, is the latest ACG out?"

"Of course, I'll keep it for you! Director Xu, why are you up so late today?"

"I slept too much!"

A man with a pointed face, a monkey face, and glasses, who looked like Sun Wukong pretending to be a college student, yawned and came to the newsstand.

Because he comes here often, he seems to be familiar with the boss.

What people didn't expect was that he was actually a director. You can't judge a person by his appearance!

His name is Xu Ke. He was born in Sai Kung. His family moved to Hong Kong Island in 1966. In 1969, he went to America to study in college. He didn't return to Hong Kong Island until last year and joined TVB.

This year, he switched to Jiayi TV and finally filmed his first TV series "Golden Sword Lover", which was broadcast on TV last week.

As one of the new wave directors of Hong Kong movies, Xu Ke made this TV series adapted from Gu Long's novel "September Eagle Flying" as a movie.

Whether it is character modeling, photography composition, lighting, montage editing, film stunts, actor scheduling, costumes, art direction, etc., they are all highly sophisticated, and even went to South Korea for filming.

Although I don’t know why you have to go to South Korea to shoot a martial arts film?

But the evaluation of this TV series is still quite high. Xu Ke combines the suspense, horror, and strange elements of the movie with the Chinese martial arts genre, and the effect is unique and impressive.

Except for one disadvantage, that is, it is expensive!

If it was released in the past, what does it have to do with me if it is expensive? That’s the TV station’s business!

But these two days are different. He has heard that the TV station has no money!

If this goes on, let alone whether I can spend lavishly on filming in the future, it is a problem whether I can still film!

Of course, Xu Ke’s worries are useless. He is just an ordinary director, not a big shot in the TV station who can solve the funding problem.

After buying the magazine, Xu Ke turned and walked towards Jiayi TV Station across the street at 1A Broadcast Avenue, Kowloon.

Xu Ke, who was lazily, came to the office, but was surprised to find that the office was empty, and the few people who were there looked like they were still asleep.

"What happened? Does everyone know? It seems that I miscalculated. Compared with my lateness, others chose to be absent from work directly! It's really a big loss!"

After Xu Ke sighed secretly, he unwrapped the sandwich, took a big bite, and then quickly opened the comic magazine. He would talk about the lack of money later, and he would read the latest episode of "Bleach" first!

Little thing, I finally waited for you!

This is what most readers of "Second Dimension Youth Weekly" would do, and Xu Ke is no exception.

Although Xu Ke is 28 years old this year, he accidentally saw this comic magazine after coming to Hong Kong Island last year, and was immediately impressed by the poetic composition of "Bleach".

Xu Ke's own painting skills are very good, and later many of his storyboard manuscripts were drawn like comics.

However, this comic brought a different impact to Xu Ke.

Moreover, due to the recent high-energy plot, Xu Ke can't wait!

This episode is called "Ichigo the God of Death Reappears", and the content is just the continuation of the previous episode. When Lu Qiya is about to be executed, Ichigo appears.

At the beginning of this episode, it is Lu Qiya's big watery eyes. Xu Ke even reads joy, surprise, worry and other emotions from them.

Is this something a 16-year-old child can draw?

Although the two met again only after a month in the comics, two years have passed in the real world.

When all readers saw the two meet again, they had endless emotions in their hearts.

After going through many levels, Ichigo faced Lu Qiya again and simply said, "Hi!"

"Ah... idiot, why are you here again?"

After waking up from the initial surprise, Lu Qiya quickly blamed.

"Ah?"

"You should know very well that you can't beat my big brother! You will definitely die this time!"

Just as the two were arguing, the captain and vice-captain of the Gotei 13 under the execution platform saw Ichigo suddenly appear, and their expressions were different.

Some were surprised, some were secretly happy, and some were confused. Of course, the most complicated mood was Lu Baiya, whose face did not fluctuate at all, but his heart was already surging.

Then, under the gaze of a group of death god captains, Ichigo destroyed the execution platform with a knife.

During the whole process, Baiya did not move, just stood under the execution platform, watching Ichigo and Lu Qia.

Obviously, the next two people will duel!

However, this episode came to an abrupt end.

"What's going on? It's like this every time!"

When Xu Ke saw that there was no more episode of "Bleach", he couldn't help but complain that Wansui was just right for breaking the chapter.

When he thought that he would have to wait another week before he could see the next episode, Xu Ke felt like a cat scratching his heart.

In desperation, Xu Ke could only read other comics to relieve his stress.

Currently, there are five comics in "Second Dimension Youth Weekly", including Li Wannian's three comics: "Death", "Mobile Suit Gundam" and "Pokemon", as well as Wang Sima's "Pretty Susan" and Feng Zhiming's "Sword Smile".

Feng Zhiming was once a member of the founding team of "Xi Bao". He applied for the position of Shangguan Xiaowei's assistant twice within half a year and was finally successfully hired.

However, since last year, the sales of "Happy News" have begun to decline, and it seems that the future is already somewhat precarious.

Unexpectedly, the boss and the second in the Hong Kong comics industry are fighting fiercely, but the third is really dying.

Another point is that Huang Guosheng was in trouble.

After Li Wanshan found out that it was Huang Guosheng who found out Li Wannian's identity, he secretly attacked "Happy News" and used various shameful tricks to frequently use "Happy News" and "Shengbao" newspapers.

Huang Yulang can still bear it, but Shangguan Xiaobao can't bear it.

Although the Shangguan family is called a family, in fact, the connection is not close, and most of the apprentices below are separated and reunited, coming and going.

It was at this time that Feng Zhiming submitted his work to "Second Dimension Youth Weekly" after resigning and successfully serialized it.

It can be seen that these old-fashioned cartoonists are really good.

However, compared to martial arts, Xu Ke prefers the science fiction themes of "Second Dimension Youth Weekly". This Gundam makes Xu Ke very interested, so he decides to look at Gundam first.

"Mr. Li, please come this way!"

At this moment, the door suddenly became very noisy. He looked up and found that the person who came was Li Wanshui, the general manager of DreamWorks.

Why is he here?

However, almost in an instant, he reacted. Could they be here to invest?

Thinking of this, Xu Ke took another look at the comic in his hand, quickly put the comic down, put the sandwich on the table, and got up and walked out the door.

Thanks to Yue Ye Shen Yin for the reward!
