The anniversary of "The King of Paintings" is a major event in the Chinese comic industry, and Wang Yongsheng is even more energetic, ready to work with his colleagues in the new year to make this animation magazine to a higher level, with a single issue of sales exceeding 1 million. And those cartoonists who have already published their works in "Drawing King" and newcomers who have not yet debuted are also gearing up to achieve greater success in the rapidly developing anime magazine "Painting King". For them, "The King of Paintings" is the stage of their dreams.

However, not everyone is full of affection for the energetic "Painting King", and for a group of painters who make a living drawing comic strips, the more the magazine sells, the smaller their potential readership will be, so "Painting King" is a roadblock in front of them.

Of course, these group of rigid comic book artists did not realize that the rise of new comics is the trend of the times, just like the people with lofty ideals in the Qing Dynasty a hundred years ago, they were advocating the Westernization movement, and they wanted to master the skills of the Yi to control the country, but there are still a group of diehards who can not be carved still regard the British and French who defeated the Qing Dynasty as barbarians, insist that the law of the ancestors is immutable, and believe that the law of the ancestors is the way of governing the country left by the sages can only be adhered to, not changed, and changing the law is to bring disaster to the country and violate the principles of heaven. Although the main reason for the failure of the foreign affairs movement in the end was the ideological limitations of Li Hongzhang and other hosts, which led to the movement not being thorough enough, but a decaying Qing dynasty put on a relatively bright new clothes, but the real root cause is that this thousand-year-old tradition has penetrated into the blood of every Chinese and has become the most powerful resistance to China's modernization, and even the slightest change will suffer strong resistance.

Even after 100 years, this resistance to tradition has not disappeared from this 5,000-year-old country.

Huang Yuejin, a veteran comic strip artist over 60 years old, was unable to fight back in the face of Japanese comics, so he invited several of his old buddies to his home to discuss this grim form. Although he is already a grandfather, Huang Yuejin's voice is not small, and he said passionately at the beginning: "Everyone here has adhered to the artistic post for decades, and is a witness to the gradual development and growth of our country's comic strips, but in the past ten years, a large number of Japanese animation works have entered the country, which has caused a great impact on the development of comic strips in our country, so that there are very few comic strips on the market now, and those Japanese animations can be seen everywhere, which is a veritable cultural invasion, if we let it go." In a few years, there will be no place for comic books at all! ”

"No, I recently had a student who told me that he didn't want to draw comic strips anymore, that he felt that comic strips had no future, and that he was going to make a transition to drawing some new comics, and I was so angry that I scolded him at the time. It's not that I haven't read those Japanese comics, and the content in them is simply unsightly, all of which are gimmicks with violence and ** to attract the attention of teenagers. ”

"Lao Xie's temper is good, if my student says such a bastard to me, scold him, scold him lightly, and it will be difficult to eliminate the hatred in my heart if I don't slap him twice. In my opinion, Japanese manga has no educational value at all, and at least reading it will only make teenagers learn badly, and it is simply a pile of garbage! ”

"It's no wonder that today's teenagers, art appreciation ability is getting worse and worse, like our comic book version of "Dream of Red Mansions", "Journey to the West", "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", "Water Margin" not to mention, that is, the artistic value of comic books such as "Folk Tales and Legends" and "The Legend of Heroes of the Sui and Tang Dynasties" is also that those Japanese comics can't catch up, or parents and teachers have no intention in educating young people!"

"In fact, what I regret the most is that some domestic publications have also paid attention to comics. I don't know if you've noticed, but there is a magazine on the market called "Painting King" that is very popular with teenagers. Speaking of this, Huang Yuejin took out a 24-issue of "The King of Paintings" and put it on the table, "This is this magazine, it is the best-selling comic magazine on the market at present, it is said that the sales are approaching 1 million copies, I roughly flipped through it, and the content is just like what you just said, relying on ** and violence to attract readers." The fact that such a publication can be founded is not poisoning young people! ”

Several old comic book painters stretched out their heads to look at the "King of Paintings" placed in the center of the table, and when they casually opened "The King of Paintings" and saw the visit of the chairman of the 12th chapter of "Full-time Hunter", the contestants who participated in the hunter review were slapped by the food hunter's belly, so they shouted: "Look, look, today's teenagers are affected by this kind of violent comics, and as a result, the number of juvenile delinquency in society will increase year by year." ”

It's just a cursory flip through it, "Full-time Hunter", "Little Bean Boxing King", and "Thundering Zeji" are regarded as violent cartoons by these old literary and art workers, and "Next Stop Superstar" has a painting of Yao Ziqi's upper body because of these words, and it is regarded as propaganda by these people. As a result, the good "Painting King" magazine has become a representative of bad publications in the eyes of these people.

"Originally, I also had a relationship with Wang Yongsheng, the editor-in-chief of this magazine, at that time I thought this person was good, a person who could do things, but I didn't expect to sell my soul for money and start this kind of comic magazine that poisons the next generation. In order to protect our next generation, as conscientious literary and artistic workers, we must stand up and call for the whole society to boycott Japanese comics and drive them out of China completely. Wang Yuejin impassionedly appealed.

"Yes, we must find a way to drive Japanese manga out of China, but what exactly should we do?"

In the face of inquiry, Wang Yuejin was full of thoughts: "I have already thought about it before, and several of us here will jointly write a letter of appeal and send it to major newspapers across the country, believing that with the face of our people, these newspapers will not refuse to publish it." In this way, the government will definitely not sit idly by, and I believe that a nationwide boycott of Japanese manga will be launched. ”

"Haha, you still have an idea, Lao Wang, I must sign this name. If we don't sweep these Japanese comics out of the country, we will not give up! ”

In this way, these old literary and art workers, who have no understanding of the new comics and blindly believe that Japanese comics are all about violence and **, and who are not old enough to eat the ancients, jointly wrote a letter of appeal for "The Schoolbag is Crying" and sent it to several influential newspapers in China. Chinese comics, which have just emerged, are about to usher in an unprecedented storm.
