Chapter 63 Qiu Fulong, Situ Jianqiao

——I accidentally banned myself from the comments--! I can’t reply to the problem.

After Shangguan Xiaobao said this, Zhao Chen remembered it. He believed in Shangguan Xiaobao's vision.

Since Ma Rongcheng successfully signed into the World Comics Company, he naturally needed help from an assistant, otherwise Ma Rongcheng would inevitably affect the quality if he was the only one.

The three of them immediately walked to the room where the assistant competition was played. Sure enough, a few of them had completed it, and they were checking the drawn drafts solemnly.

These assistants have good psychological qualities. When Zhao Chen and the other two entered the room, they just looked up and continued to calm down to draw the background.

Zhao Chen observed several assistants who had already drawn it, and his eyes finally focused on a boy who looked a little shy.

The boy looked similar to Zhao Chen's age. He was dressed simply and had a slightly short figure. He only looked very serious with his eyes. He carefully checked the drawn drawings, but his face was a little unconfident.

"It looks a bit familiar!" Zhao Chen couldn't help but think in his heart when he looked at the boy.

Zhao Chen thought for a while, but couldn't think of it, so he had to ask Shangguan Xiaobao next to him: "Uncle Shangguan, what's his name?"

"You said he is Qiu Fulong. Although he is young, his talent is quite good. As long as he is well trained in the future, his achievements may be not low."

Shangguan Xiaobao subconsciously held up his glasses, looked at the boy with obvious smile, and expressed his point of view in order to attract Zhao Chen's attention.

"Qiu Fulong! Isn't this the exclusive art director of Yulang International Co., Ltd. and the Yuhuang Dynasty in later generations!" When Zhao Chen heard the name Qiu Fulong, he thought to himself that it was no wonder he looked familiar. It turned out to be this famous cartoonist and art director in later generations.

Qiu Fulong entered the Xiangjiang comic circle in 1978. At that time, he followed the main writer Bai Jinlun and was responsible for his assistant. Unfortunately, a month later, due to his strong opposition from his family, he had to leave his job and return to school.

But he did not give up his dream and still improved his painting skills at school. This time, he saw the news that Zhao Chen was recruiting assistants while reading "Good News Magazine", so he immediately became active. Regardless of his family's opposition, he came to the Holy Fire Publishing House for an assessment.

It can be said that due to Zhao Chen, Qiu Fulong's life trajectory has undergone tremendous changes. According to later generations, Qiu Fulong joined the Yulang organization in January 1980, but now he has entered the comics industry half a year ahead of schedule.

Qiu Fulong can be said to be a famous art director in later generations. He is mainly responsible for character setting, cover drafts and drafting, but it is difficult for him to take into account his works. In the final analysis, the problem of the Hong Kong comic assistant system makes Qiu Fulong unable to escape the objective view of "the limited role of being a comic assistant".

Although Qiu Fulong's future achievements are not as good as Ma Rongcheng, and there is no classic work that truly belongs to him. However, his vigorous style and Ma Rongcheng's meticulous style are in line with the Hong Kong comics industry. It can be said that no matter how Qiu Fulong paints this time, Zhao Chen will tie him up with Qiu Fulong's future achievements.

When Zhao Chen was observing Qiu Fulong, an assistant had already come to him and respectfully handed the drawn draft to Zhao Chen, standing aside seemed quite nervous.

Looking at the rough style of the four drawings, Zhao Chen didn't know what to say. This name was really too influenced by Hong Kong comics. He paid attention to speed, but the quality inevitably decreased a lot. If it was just an ordinary Hong Kong comic work, it would be OK, but the "Two Dragons of the Tang Dynasty" that integrates the Japanese comic style is not good, let alone "Football Young Player".

"The painting is OK, but the style does not match. I hope to continue to work hard in the future!"

Zhao Chen was afraid of damaging the assistant's confidence, so he did not say too much. Instead, he said it from the perspective of painting style.

The expression on the assistant's face became much dimmed, and he finally left the Holy Fire Publishing House in frustration.

Due to the failure of the first assistant, some assistants who wanted to submit the manuscript obviously hesitated for a while, and then carefully checked the drawings again before handing them to Zhao Chen.

Zhao Chen checked them one by one, but they all shook their heads. The style of the assistants was exactly the same as the one before. If they were accepted, the quality of the comics would probably decline.

Qiu Fulong, who had already drawn it, did not come up immediately, but still looked at the drawing carefully and modified the small details. This rigorous attitude made Zhao Chen, who was secretly observing, appreciate it.

At this moment, a young man with a round face handed the finished drawing to Zhao Chen, with a little nervous face, fearing that he would be brushed down too.

When Zhao Chen turned his gaze on the drawing, his face became much more solemn, making the young man with round faces who had been observing even more nervous.

The background of these four drawings is different from the roughness of the assistants just now. Instead, it is more delicate and gorgeous, with a faint Japanese comic style.

"The background is well drawn! Sit for a while and wait until the others have finished before making a decision!"

In the nervous expression of the round-faced young man, he finally got Zhao Chen's affirmation, which made the round-faced young man suddenly become excited, but knowing that everything had not been decided, he became a little worried about gains and losses again.

After the round-faced youth was affirmed by Zhao Chen, other assistants who had not submitted the manuscript suddenly became nervous. For them, the round-faced youth was already the ultimate competitor.

"It's really good! Although the integration is not thorough enough, there is already a shadow of Japanese comics!" After the round-faced young man was affirmed by Zhao Chen, Shangguan Xiaobao, who was standing beside him, couldn't help but praise him, and Ma Rongcheng next to him nodded.

"If you can get the recognition of Uncle Shangguan, this guy may achieve some success in the future!" Looking at the restless young man on the side, Zhao Chen's mind changed rapidly. He was able to get the recognition of three people at the same time, which shows the painter of the young man on the round face.

Just as Zhao Chen was about to ask the name of the round-faced young man, an assistant handed the drawing to Zhao Chen.

After Zhao Chen denied the assistant, Qiu Fulong on the other side felt that there was nothing to change, so he stood up and handed the drawing to Zhao Chen. Perhaps because he was not psychologically correct, his legs were trembling unconsciously.

"Although the painting style is still a bit immature, the painting is OK. Let's make a decision after they complete it!"

I read Qiu Fulong's drawings. Although the pen tip is not so sophisticated, I already have the style of an art director in the future. It can also be seen that Qiu Fulong's talent in this area.

Qiu Fulong's reaction was very big, and it could even be said to be crying with joy. For the sake of comics, he gave up his studies despite his family's opposition. Now he has received Zhao Chen's affirmation. It can be said that he has expectations for the future, at least not as restless as before.

After Qiu Fulong was also granted a pending decision, the remaining assistants also stood up to submit the drawings. Unfortunately, except for one of the female assistants who received a pending agreement, the rest were denied by Zhao Chen. However, Ma Rongcheng, who was beside him, gained two assistants with a pretty good painting style to assist "Chinese Heroes".

"Okay, although everything is still to be decided, no matter what, your painters have been recognized by me. Even if they are eventually eliminated, they can join the World Comics Company!"

Looking at the final three candidates, Zhao Chen organized some words, and in the principle that he would rather miss than let them go, he gave them the opportunity to join Tianxia Comics Company.

"Tianxia Comics Company?" The three of them frowned slightly, but they could never think of such a comics company.

"You must have doubts about Tianxia Comics Company in your heart, so I will explain it a little. Tianxia Comics Company is a comic company I founded not long ago!"

When Zhao Chen talked about this, all three of them were a little disappointed. Even though Zhao Chen is a well-known cartoonist in Xiangjiang, his background is not as good as other well-known cartoonists, and he has fewer loyalties, not to mention that Zhao Chen's age is a flaw for them.

"Don't be disappointed, I'll tell you something now. Uncle Shangguan has agreed to resign from his position as Holy Fire Publishing House and prepare to join the World Comics Company!"

Before they could be disappointed, Zhao Chen's next words gave them confidence. Even Shangguan Xiaobao planned to join Tianxia Comics Company, so the future development prospects of Tianxia Comics Company can be imagined.

"There are two assistants this time, so I decided that you two are! As for Qiu Fulong, you still need to exercise a little and join the World Comics Company. Your potential is good, and Uncle Shangguan should be happy to guide you."

Zhao Chen pointed his finger at the round-faced young man and the female assistant, but in order not to let Qiu Fulong go, he couldn't help but carry Shangguan Xiaobao out. As for Guan Xiaobao to teach his apprentice's ability, he thought that Qiu Fulong would join the World Comics Company even if he was disappointed.

After the round-faced young man and the female assistant were affirmed, his nervous mood suddenly became relaxed. As for Qiu Fulong, he was not too disappointed. Perhaps he had already known himself and it was quite good to be able to get the guidance of Shangguan Xiaobao.

"Okay, everyone will introduce themselves now!"

Needless to say, Qiu Fulong is the female cartoonist with a baby face, and the painter can be said to have the delicateness of women, and his style tends to be Japanese cartoons.

As for the young man with round faces introduced, Zhao Chen suddenly became excited in his heart. The reason was that the young man with round faces was Situ Jianqiao!

Situ Jianqiao will be a famous cartoonist in Xiangjiang in the future. His representative work "Super God Z" became the first Hong Kong cartoonist to be adapted into an animation. He is also a representative figure of the science fiction theme of Xiangjiang.

Zhao Chen naturally would not miss the opportunity to tie Situ Jianqiao to the same warship. Even if Situ Jianqiao's style of painting was not yet fully mature at this time, it would be enough to become an assistant to "The Legend of the Two Dragons of the Tang Dynasty".
