785. Sister Mingjue and Guoman

Zhou Fangyuan didn't need to ask more, he knew that his mother would explain Sister Jue's affairs again.

Sister Mingjue has come to this point, how to say it, it is very cool, and the psychological pressure is really great. Of course, since the five suits have been released, it is natural that you can fall in love and get married, and the national laws don't care, if you really want to talk about it, other people are not qualified to care. It's just that how to say it, Zhou Fangyuan's own private life is relatively chaotic, some people he can not care, but some people he can't not care.

He also wants to cut the nail on the line, isn't it impossible?

So if my mother wants him to make a choice, he can only turn around and run, otherwise what should I do, is it not easy to tell my mother how difficult it is to be scolded?

Speaking of Sister Mingjue, Zhou Fangyuan picked up his mobile phone and looked at it, but did not call.

In fact, he often practices with Sister Mingjue every day,Sister Mingjue has recently become obsessed with Guoman,After organizing several animation conferences,It began to be of great help to Guoman。 After all, she is an acting background, has directing skills, and knows people of all ages, such as screenwriters, dubbing, and post-production...... With the support of Zhou Fangyuan's side and the support of national policies, Sister Mingjue has gradually changed her original ideas and began to pay more attention to Guoman. Even followed by Zhou Fangyuan's strength,Component a small studio,Currently looking for a suitable script or comics,Want to trial produce anime,No,It's Guoman。

In today's society,Guoman has become the abbreviation of domestic animation,In fact,Guoman should be the abbreviation of domestic comics。

And domestic comics, with its long history, are unimaginable.

The earliest origin of the word "comics" comes from Li Shizhen's "Compendium of Materia Medica", which refers to an alias for a kind of bird, which really has nothing to do with today's comics.

It wasn't until 1771 that Suzuki Hyungo of the island nation published "Manga Essays" because he admired the character of "manga birds" and referred to himself as "manga birds", and 40 years later, the ukiyo-e master Katsushika Hokusai also published "Hokusai Manga". However, at this time, "comics" were still used as adjectives and were not specifically referred to as caricatures in the form of paintings. In the following 100 years, it was used several times, and it was finally in 1902 that the name "comic" officially appeared in Fuso.

On March 17, 1904, Shanghai's "Alarm Bell Daily" published cartoons in the column of "Current Affairs Cartoons", which was the first time that the name "cartoons" appeared in domestic newspapers and periodicals. Unfortunately, this appearance was only a flash in the pan, and the term "comics" was no longer used for more than 20 years. It was not until 1925 that the Literary Weekly marked the word "comics" under Feng Zikai's paintings, and this name was rediscovered. Then, Zikai Comics was published in 1926, and two years later, the Shanghai Comics Weekly, edited by the Shanghai Comics Society, was also officially published. Since then, the name of the painting "comic" has finally been unified, and it has quickly become popular in society and is still used today.

It can be seen from the above that it is not accurate to say that the name of the comic began with Feng Zikai, but the historical role of "Zikai Comics" and "Shanghai Comics" in unifying and popularizing the name of comics cannot be ignored.

The Chinese nation, Zhou Fangyuan privately thought that it was really the greatest nation in the world, and there was no one.

The reason is very simple, because this nation has too many world firsts.

Whether others admit it or not, the facts are objectively like that.

Let's talk about comics, comics, yes, it was first proposed by Fusang, but this genre, did it pass from the Chinese side?

After 5,000 years of accumulation, the Chinese civilization is constantly developing and updating, and the ancient cultural content that seems to have settled has long been excavated into new deposits, bringing people one surprise after another, and the same is true for domestic comics.

Although the name of comics has not yet been determined from ancient times to the Ming and Qing dynasties, if we look at the artistic characteristics of comics such as satire and humor, we can find that there were already artistic treasures with comic characteristics in ancient China.

For example, from the stone carving of the Han Dynasty "Xia Wei" to the first satirical painter of the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms, Shi Ke's "Jade Emperor Huitu", to the Ming and Qing dynasties of the Ming Xianzong's painting "A Mass of Harmony", Luo Liangfeng's "Ghost Fun Map", etc., both in content and form, have long contained the characteristics of comics with exaggerated images and profound meanings, and also expressed the distinctive characteristics of Chinese civilization.

In addition, in the traditional ink painting of ancient China, such as the loneliness and the mood of the lonely and unmet state of mind expressed by the Bada Shanren Zhu Qi in the late Ming Dynasty, and the eight monsters of Yangzhou in the Qing Dynasty dared to despise the ancients and challenge the traditional frankness in the paintings, such as Shi Tao compared himself with the "bitter gourd monk", these literati freehand paintings reflect the author's cynical attitude to life, strong personality and inner feelings, and its implicit hints and style for the purpose of satire all have the characteristics of comics. Although there is still a certain gap between them and comics in the modern sense, they do show the clues of the development of ancient comics.

The satirical characteristics embodied in the ancient "comics" of China as the role of "appreciation" have also changed a lot due to the change of dynasties and the changes of the social system.

For example, from the Han Dynasty to the heyday of feudal society in the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms, the imposing sculpture style and the painting language with lines as the backbone of the modeling have been basically established, and the expression techniques and artistic skills have become more and more sophisticated, and the development of art has affected the cultural policies of the rulers, the means of expressing the mind.

Therefore, the theme of seclusion and indifference to the world is not uncommon, and the painter focuses on the understanding and expression of the charm of things in his creation, as well as the embodiment of cultural accomplishment, which makes the irony in the painting creation of Song Yuanming more subtle.

Later, the corruption of the regime at the end of the Qing Dynasty and the anti-imperialist and anti-feudal wave of the people prompted the "comics" to come all over the world for a first time.

Some people may think that this is a strong argument, but in fact it is not? Isn't the origin of Fusang comics inspired by the "Compendium of Materia Medica"? Is there anything wrong with the origin? To put it mildly, it is not good to say that most of the culture of Fusang was inherited from ancient China, and to this day, the streets and alleys of Fusang are also full of Chinese characters.

The characteristic of Chinese comics lies in the fact that they were conceived in a long and thick history, as well as in the development of painting art, to the end of the Qing Dynasty and the beginning of the Republic of China. With the advent of newspapers and periodicals, the intuitive satire and spicy criticism of social power became a special "weapon" and developed into an independent genre of painting.

After the Opium War, China at that time entered a semi-colonial, semi-feudal political society.

At the end of the 19th century, European lithographic technology was introduced to China, and various political factions used lithographs to establish a large number of newspapers and pictorials in order to publicize their own political ideas. During this period, a large number of pictorial and newspaper newspapers boldly reflected various contradictions in social life and exposed the corruption and atrocities of the Qing government, and their propaganda methods were not limited to words and slogans, but also used cartoons to express the idea of saving the country, such as the "Russian Affairs Alert" and "Shenzhou Pictorial" in Shanghai, and the "Current Affairs Pictorial" in Huacheng, and other newspapers and periodicals, which published many cartoons against the aggression of foreign powers and against the feudal rule of the Qing government.

The rapid development of this large number of cartoons that satirized current affairs, anti-feudalism, and anti-invasion by foreign powers prompted the establishment of comic strips around the time of the Xinhai Revolution.

If we count from the "Map of the Current Situation" by Xie Zhangtai in the 24th year of Guangxu of the Qing Dynasty and the anti-imperialist cartoons of the Boxers in the 26th year of Guangxu of the Qing Dynasty, it can be said that China's cartoons have developed from independence to the entire 20th century.

In the years that followed, the development of comics was basically ups and downs, sometimes more brilliant, sometimes more silent, after all, this hundred years ...... It is really a hundred years of ups and downs for the Chinese nation, from suffering to forging ahead, every step is very difficult. The country is still like this, the people are still like this, and the comics must be the same.

It was not until 1978 that our party convened the Third Plenary Session of the 11th Central Committee that literature and art finally had a broad space for development.

Since then, Chinese comics have entered another period of prosperity. During this period, cartoonists paid great attention to their positioning and their own tasks, so a large number of cartoons praising the present appeared, reflecting the process of contemporary reform and opening up and modernization, so that cartoons still maintained the role of public opinion supervision in the era of reform and opening up. At this time, the entire comic creation atmosphere showed a diversified development trend.

In 1979, the first issue of the comic supplement "Satire and Humor" of the People's Daily was launched, and comic newspapers and periodicals from all over the country also came out one after another, and at the same time, comic societies and research societies were established in various places. In 1982, the second National Manga Exhibition was held more than a decade after a gap of more than a decade from the first exhibition. In 1984, comics participated in the 6th National Art Exhibition as an independent painting genre, marking the independence and maturity of comics as an art form in the new era.

In addition, with the continuous deepening of reform and opening up, the exchanges between the mainland and Hong Kong, Hong Kong Island, and foreign countries have increased year by year, and they have also made great achievements in the theoretical research of comics, and the development trend has become more mature and detailed.

Since the 90s, comics have entered a stage of diversified development. In addition to the inherent functions of satire and praise, it also has the function of educating and intellectually cognizing, and at the same time strengthens the function of entertainment and cultivating temperament; humorous comics, science comics, world comics, advertising comics, etc., have all been developed and are also welcomed by readers. In addition, the scope of comics has become more extensive, and they have begun to explore themes from various aspects and angles, no longer limited to class struggle, but have presented a rich and diverse appearance.

But what makes people sigh is that in the last decade of the twentieth century, domestic comics and the entire animation industry have suffered a great blow while developing. There is a massive brain drain, which is the most heart-wrenching. But there was no way, at that time, the country could be said to be in ruins, there were too many things to do, and there were too many important areas to be vigorously developed. Comics and animation, such a huge industry, could never become the center of development for the country at that time, which was completely contrary to the policy of national and national rejuvenation.

Therefore, the brain drain can only be said to be a helpless thing.

After that, it is the 21st century, the domestic comics of the 21st century are mainly circulated on the Internet, due to the shortage of comic talents in the 21st century and some intricate reasons, China's comics are in a very embarrassing bottleneck period. The domestic comics of the 21st century are mainly in the style of imitating Japanese comics, which also shows that China's comics are being explored with difficulty, but today, there are still very good comics, including Ao Youxiang's "Oolong Courtyard", Zhang Xiaobox's series, Mao Xiaole's "Cats and Three Dogs Four", Yanlong Zixu's "Detective Xiao Yu" and so on. On the Internet, Mo's "The Legend of Brother Chun" and "Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf" are the most famous.

But Guoman still has big problems.

Today's post-80s, post-90s, and even post-00s for Ali live in an era of pop culture explosion.

From "Cat and Mouse" to "EVA" and "Gundam series", to "Sword Art Online" and "Life in a Different World from Scratch...... In fact, there is no shortage of excellent animations to watch.

Therefore, animation lovers in China have a good viewing foundation and will have certain requirements for the quality of domestic animation. This is a good thing for domestic animation. Because animation is a complex industry, and in China, it is an emerging market, for such a market, we need to be tolerant, but we must also have a strict attitude in order to supervise its progress.

Especially for most ordinary audiences, their taste determines which direction the creative tendency of the market is tilted. So in this regard, our opinion is very important, because in the field of creation, there will be good authors and good works when there is a good audience. To a certain extent, one of the main problems of domestic animation is also the contradiction between the growing spiritual and cultural needs of animation lovers and the insufficient development of domestic animation.

To be honest, domestic anime still lacks too much.

For a simple example, on the Fuso side, voice actors are a complete professional system, and people can get to know some excellent voice actors through some excellent animations, not to mention the local audience in Fusang, that is, the audience on our side, and many voice actors are also treasured, and often because a group of voice actors gather in a drama, they can attract a lot of audiences to watch. And in China, how many famous voice actors can we name?

Lack of money, lack of people, lack of technology. This is an objective problem of domestic animation, no one can avoid it, the brain drain in the last few years of the last century is not a simple brain drain, it is a degree closer to the severance of inheritance.

Sister Mingjue wants to be Guoman, Zhou Fangyuan is a reborn, he knows very well that even after more than ten years, Guoman has only just improved, and it has not reached the level of real rise at all, so Sister Mingjue wants to do it, and Zhou Fangyuan supports it. However, among the colleagues who support him, he also hopes that Sister Mingjue can see the market clearly and will not be hurt by reality.
