Just when Xiang Junfei lamented that Chinese comics were in an unprecedented period of development, in the country of abundance - Sichuan, a young man less than 20 years old, was crawling on the drawing table, carefully outlining the lines, under his dexterous brushstrokes, after a while, a playful and cute animation image jumped on the paper, vivid, in the era of China's new comics, there are not many people with such comic skills, plus this person is so young, he is definitely a rare comic talent.

With this person's strength, he will not be an unknown person, in fact, he is the first local cartoonist to win the recognition of the Chinese people in the era of "Painting King" - Chen Xiang.

Chen Xiang is a native of Zigong, Sichuan, since he was a child, he has a strong interest in painting, in 1991, he started his comic career in the "A Cat and Mouse" column of the People's Fine Arts Publishing House's "Children's Comics" magazine.

For Chen Xiang, it is an opportunity to serialize comics in comic magazines like "The King of Paintings", which has a significant influence across the country, which is an opportunity that can be attained but not sought, so he also works hard at home. Because when he was a child, he always fantasized about a world where a person and animals could communicate freely without any constraints, and he was influenced by Akira Toriyama's works "Aralei" and "Dragon Ball", and he created the funny manga "Koyama Diary". The story is about the protagonist Xiaoshan is an inventor who has never met in the city, due to several sales failures, so he decided to return to live in the big forest, on the way to the forest met the greedy Sha Ren and the honest soybean brothers, and finally Xiaoshan used the intelligence machine to make the rabbit this gentle housekeeper, but unfortunately it backfired, on the way to the city when the mountain left home, the rabbit used the intelligence machine of the mountain, all the animals were intellectualized, and thus, began a funny forest process

However, just as Mencius said, so the heavens will descend on people, and they must first suffer their minds and muscles...... Chen Xiang's creation of this comic was by no means smooth, in fact, when he was full of confidence, he sent the first chapter of the work to the editorial department, and was sent back by Wang Yongsheng, the editor-in-chief, and asked him to rework and revise. In this way, in three months, Chen Xiang has revised the draft five times in a row, but still has not been affirmed by Wang Yongsheng, and now he is revising the draft for the sixth time, to be honest, Chen Xiang even had the idea of not painting if he can't pass this time, but this idea only survived in his brain for three minutes, and he was shot by himself.

After all, the reason why he draws comics is not to be famous or for money, but to really love this art, and what flows in him is the blood of a young cartoonist, so he still made up his mind to pay attention, no matter how many revisions he has to make in the end, he will definitely change to the extent that Wang Yongsheng is satisfied, and finally let his works meet with fans across the country through the platform of "Painting King".

"Final...... Finally got better! After eight hours of continuous fighting, Chen Xiang finally revised the last two pages of the drawing, and was so tired that he didn't even bother to put down his pen, so he leaned back on the chair and stretched out.

After closing his eyes and resting for a while, he had a strong spirit, and began to review his revised picture, after the guidance of Mr. Wang Yongsheng, Chen Xiang also thought that he had a big jump in each grid at the beginning, and some of the plots that should be explained clearly were not explained clearly, causing readers difficulties in reading. However, after this sixth revision, Chen Xiang felt that this problem had been solved, and he also increased the funniness of the story, and Chen Xiang was still full of confidence in this sixth draft.

Without further ado, after carefully reviewing the cartoons, Chen Xiang carefully sorted out all the sketches, put them in the large envelope that he had bought in advance, and then rushed out of the house and went straight to the post office.

God willing, let me pass the audit this time. After reciting it silently in his heart, Chen Xiang handed the envelope in his hand to the staff at the post office.

"Yes, yes, the children can be taught, the children can be taught." When Wang Yongsheng looked at Chen Xiang's sixth revised draft, he finally nodded yes, it seems that this time Chen Xiang can finally stop revising.

In fact, when Wang Yongsheng saw the sketch sent by Chen Xiang for the first time, he had already seen that this young cartoonist who was less than 20 years old had great potential, although the painting style imitated Akira Toriyama and did not form his own style, but with the help of Akira Toriyama's influence, his style of painting is also extremely easy to be recognized by readers, plus his comic is a funny comic, and funny comics are the most popular type of comics favored by readers, so at that time Wang Yongsheng thought that "Xiaoshan Comics" This comic has the potential to become popular, and it is precisely because of this that he is so strict with Chen Xiang, and in three months, he asked the other party to make six revisions.

In the end, Chen Xiang did not live up to Wang Yongsheng's expectations for him, and after six revisions, he finally handed over a satisfactory draft, which made Wang Yongsheng feel very relieved. For him, there is no reason why such a young, talented and hard-working cartoonist should not support it, so after reviewing the draft, he immediately made a decision and published "Xiaoshan Diary" in the tenth issue of "The King of Paintings".

In addition to this decision, Wang Yongsheng also decided to publish a call for papers in the tenth issue to solicit original comic manuscripts nationwide.

In fact, don't look at the scenery of "The King of Paintings" on the surface, but it is also full of dangers behind the scenes, first of all, because the popularity of "The King of Paintings" is based on a large number of pirated Japanese popular comics. Nowadays, the influence of magazines is getting bigger and bigger, and it has even attracted the strong attention of Japanese publishers who have always ignored the Chinese comic market, and Wang Yongsheng has recently received news that the Japanese Publishing Bureau has notified the Central Information Bureau of the piracy of Japanese comics by "The King of Paintings" and demanded that he be held accountable.

Although the Central Information Bureau has not yet given a clear answer to the Japanese side, if "The King of Paintings" continues to pirate and publish Japanese comics in this way, sooner or later it will attract disaster, so it is necessary to change the current situation in which the magazine focuses on Japanese comics, and it is the right way to publish a large number of original local comics.

In fact, Wang Yongsheng's original intention as the editor-in-chief of "The King of Paintings" is to support Chinese original comics, but there is always a process of priorities in doing things, at present, China's new comics are still in their infancy, relying only on local cartoonists, not to mention whether they can open the market, or even whether they can get together enough manuscripts is a debatable issue, so during this period there must be popular Japanese comics to support the scene. Then, with the gradual development of Chinese comics, "Drawing King" gradually adjusted the publication ratio of Chinese and Japanese comics, until it finally evolved into a 100% original comic magazine.

According to Wang Yongsheng's development plan, it will take five years to reach this goal at the earliest, but now he is forced by environmental pressure to adjust the policy from now on.

"I don't know how many excellent comics can be recruited when this call for papers is released, and if only more cartoonists like Xiao Chen could emerge!" Wang Yongsheng walked by the window, looking at the blue sky with anticipation.

When the tenth issue of "The King of Painting" with "City Hunter" as the cover was listed, almost all readers were discussing two issues, the first hot topic of discussion was naturally "Xiaoshan Diary", almost all readers who read this comic felt that the style of this comic was similar to Akira Toriyama, if it weren't for the author's name in black and white indicating that it was Chen Xiang, saying that this cartoon was created by Akira Toriyama, almost no one would doubt it.

Of course, if this comic is just a brilliant style, it can't attract more readers' attention, and more importantly, the story of this comic is quite interesting, so that readers can't bear to laugh after reading, plus the author is a local cartoonist, the three factors add up, if "Xiaoshan Diary" is not popular, there will be ghosts!

""Xiaoshan Diary" is really a good-looking comic, I hope your magazine can continue to be serialized, I will always support you!"

"Excuse me, can you tell me Chen Xiang's contact address, I really admire him, I want to ask him if he learns to draw, my ideal is to be a cartoonist like Chen Xiang and contribute to Chinese comics!"

"Wow! I found out, I found that the style of "Koyama Diary" is super similar to Akira Toriyama, and it can be said that the author is also a supporter of Akira Toriyama like me. But this imitation of Akira Toriyama's painting style,Will it be plagiarism?,But then again,A big copy of articles in the world.,Anyway, I think this comic is very good.,As long as the author can maintain this level in the future,,I'll always support him! ”

"I've been a reader since the first issue of "Picture King", and I've found that this manga magazine is getting better and better, and there are not only wonderful Japanese manga in it, but also many good domestic manga. To be honest, although domestic manga is not as good as Japanese manga at present, I think domestic manga has been improving......"

After the tenth issue was listed, from the letters from many readers, it can be seen that "Xiaoshan Diary" has been initially recognized by readers, which has always been optimistic about the work Wang Yongsheng is very relieved, although "Painting King" has also published a lot of Chinese cartoonists' works, but readers' sense of identity has not met his expectations, but "Xiaoshan Diary" has fought a turnaround battle, so that Chinese comic fans understand that we also have excellent cartoonists in China, as long as we are given enough time, Chinese manga will one day grow to the level of Japanese manga!

At this time, Wang Yongsheng is very willing to be the Bole of the Chinese comic world, and Chen Xiang is the first Maxima he excavated, he is a Bole, naturally he will not give the stage for the Maxima to gallop, after seeing the readers' feedback on "Xiaoshan Diary" so good, he has planned to give Chen Xiang an exclusive interview at the appropriate time, and he wants to introduce this comic talent to the national comic fans.

If "Xiaoshan Diary" is a good start for Chinese original comics, then that call for papers is undoubtedly a shot in the arm for Chinese comics.

Although a humorous comic magazine before "The King of Paintings" also had a lot of call for papers, but because the influence of these magazines is far from being comparable to "The King of Paintings", and these magazines generally solicit short humorous cartoons, which have limitations, so almost no cartoonist is popular by these humorous magazines.

But "The King of Painting" is different, it is currently a single issue of sales has exceeded 400,000 issues, is the first issue of undisputed comics in China, anyone who likes comics, how can there be no one who does not know the name of "King of Painting"! So as long as you can show your face in this magazine, you can gain great fame.

In addition, "Painting King" is not like those humorous magazines, not only does not refuse long-form submissions, but also encourages everyone to actively submit long-form comics, and all those who know comics know that drawing long-form comics is the most exciting and rewarding for cartoonists, because it can best reflect the strength of a cartoonist.

This call for papers has undoubtedly aroused the interest of all cartoonists in China, almost all young people who are interested in becoming cartoonists, after reading this call for papers, immediately came up with the idea of submitting articles to the magazine, so they rummaged through the boxes and cabinets to find their original comics, and then immediately mailed them to the editorial department; Of course, there are also many people who start writing scripts and sketches at this time, and actively conceiving comics.

All in all, this call for papers for "The King of Paintings" is to mobilize the ambitions of all domestic cartoonists, and the young cartoonists with ideals are creating comics day and night, and they are the hope of Chinese comics!

Xiang Junfei also bought this issue of "Painting King" for the first time, for Chen Xiang's "Xiaoshan Diary", Xiang Junfei also gave a high evaluation, although he also understood that after the "Painting King" was discontinued, this and "Snow Coconut" together known as "China's original comic double wall" The masterpiece has also gone downhill and gradually disappeared from the sight of fans, but it is undeniable that the work is one of the most important domestic comics in the early days of China's new comic movement, Chen Xiang and his success in this comic, I don't know how many comic fans have made up their minds to pursue a comic career, he is a role model for local cartoonists in the early days of China's New Comics Movement!

It's a pity, if it weren't for the suspension of the magazine, "Xiaoshan Diary" would not have been so eunuch, and Chen Xiang would not have wasted the most precious years of time for a cartoonist because he ran to become a civil servant, which is really a pity. Looking at "Xiaoshan Diary", Xiang Junfei's mind couldn't help but recall the memories retained by the last "self".

After sighing and sighing, Xiang Junfei continued to flip through the magazine according to his old habit, and just when Xiang Junfei was roughly browsing the magazine, his hand suddenly stopped turning the page, yes, he finally saw the long-awaited call for papers.

Xiang Junfei's gaze stayed on the call for papers for half a minute, and then he quickly rubbed his eyes and looked up again, for fear that he would be wrong. However, the four big characters of "Call for Papers" clearly told Xiang Junfei that he was not mistaken, and he finally waited for this day.

It's no wonder that Xiang Junfei is so excited, it can be said that since he made up his mind to become an outstanding cartoonist in this life, Xiang Junfei has been waiting for this day, waiting for this day when he can submit to "The King of Paintings".

From 92 years to the present, it has taken nearly two years for Xiang Junfei to create "Full-time Hunter" and "Next Stop Queen", in these two years, Xiang Junfei has spent almost all his energy on creating comics, so the progress of the two works is very gratifying, and the number of pages is enough to produce two single books.

However, because Xiang Junfei knew that "The King of Paintings" would have to suffer the doom of suspending publication in half a year, he was not ready to send all the drafts to the editorial department, only needed to send enough works that could support 24 issues, so he took out the drafts of words 1 to 8 from the manuscript of "Full-time Hunter", and from the manuscript of "Next Stop Superstar", he took out the manuscripts of words 1 to 5.

These manuscripts can just be published in a single book, and Xiang Junfei feels that these manuscripts are enough to support the discontinuation of "The King of Paintings". Whether it is "Full-Time Hunter" or "Next Stop Superstar", they are all comic works selected by Xiang Junfei after careful selection, and Xiang Junfei firmly believes that with these two comics, he can make a name for himself in more than half a year.

"Shouldn't I stuff another stamp in the envelope, or I can still ask for the original manuscript if the submission is clicked." When Xiang Junfei was in the post office, ready to send the envelope, he was nervous. You must know that there is no electronic submission in these years, although Xiang Junfei is very confident in his works, but these works are his hard work for two years after all, so it is inevitable that he will be a little uneasy.

Of course, he could choose to make a copy, but at this time he was too shy to take the risk of mailing the manuscript. For the sake of insurance, Xiang Junfei finally did not trust it, bought a stamp and stuffed it into the envelope, and marked that if the other party did not accept it, please send a back draft.

Everything that needs to be done has been done, and the rest is up to God! After walking out of the post office, Xiang Junfei let out a long breath. Although Xiang Junfei knew that "The King of Paintings" would publish a call for papers sooner or later, but it was not until today that he finally really put his mind at ease, if "Full-time Hunter" and "Next Stop Superstar" are compared to his children, then Xiang Junfei at this time is undoubtedly looking for a good in-law for his child, no wonder he is in such a good mood at the moment.

It was this good mood that made Xiang Junfei decide to run to the nearby game hall, play games, and have a good time.
