Chapter 31: The Schoolbag Is Crying (3)

If Huang Yuejin's group of people really has some influence, as soon as the open letter written by these so-called old artists was made public, it was reprinted by major domestic newspapers. Originally, comics are not a good thing in the eyes of many parents, thinking that children who are addicted to comics will only lose their minds and delay their studies, and those unhealthy thoughts in comics also erode children's young minds and make children learn badly.

Now such an open letter of "The Schoolbag is Crying" has played a role in fueling the flames, making parents more disgusted with comics, and those who like comics and support comics are generally young and have no right to speak.

Wang Yongsheng picked up the "Renming Daily" in his hand, and looked at the recently hyped "Schoolbag is Crying" published in the newspaper, and frowned.

"Alas, Lao Huang's misunderstanding of comics is too deep, so they can one-sidedly think that Japanese comics only have a negative effect and have no merit. In the case, not all Japanese comics contain violent and ** elements, such as "Astro Boy" and "Robot Cat" and other Japanese comics, which are very suitable for children to read. โ€

Wang Yongsheng couldn't help but think of what Tadao Kimura, the dean of the Japanese Comics Academy, said at the anniversary celebration of "The King of Painting": "Chinese readers sometimes see some Japanese comics with descriptions of violence and scenes, because Japan has almost no restrictions on the freedom of expression, which is regrettable." But it should be said that the most touching comics, the basic principle of comics is to make readers interested, readable, comics 'comics' is creativity and ideas, 'drawing' is the skill of painting, if the two can be organically combined, it will produce good works"

It's a pity that Lao Wang still looks at new things with old eyes, thinking that comic books lose to Japanese comics, all because the other party relies on some eye-catching vulgar pictures, but they don't know that comic books are already behind the other party's boss in terms of creativity and concept. With our comic strips with the same story plots, how can we compare with the eclectic Japanese comics with the eclectic storylines, the decline of comic strips is the trend of the times, and if we want to completely eliminate the influence of Japanese comics in China, it is ironclad that we cannot rely on comics, and only by absorbing and learning Japanese comics at the same time, vigorously developing our own comics, is the right way!" I don't know how many sighs I took today, and Wang Yongsheng put the newspaper back on the table.

Although he knows very well in his heart that in the initial stage of new Chinese comics, mature Japanese comics are the best teachers of Chinese comics, and it is definitely not a rational decision to shout a comprehensive boycott of Japanese comics at this stage, but except for a few people who have studied comics, how many Chinese people have this awareness. In the eyes of the public, the rampant use of Japanese comics in China is a cultural invasion that Japan has been planning for a long time, aiming to corrupt Chinese teenagers, and its heart can be punished, so if anyone speaks for Japanese comics at this time, he will not bear the charge of a traitor, even if he doesn't care about his reputation in front of the public, and originally opened his mouth to defend Japanese comics, no newspaper will publish it.

Although he is worried about the misunderstanding of comics in the whole society, Wang Yongsheng also knows that in a short period of time, it is impossible to change the views of the Chinese people, and he can only put his hope on the next generation of children, hoping that these children who grow up watching "The King of Painting" can correctly understand the art of comics and give it enough respect. When the whole society can look at comics with an understanding and tolerant attitude, the growth of Chinese comics will surely achieve twice the result with half the effort.

However, God did not give Wang Yongsheng this opportunity, and just a week after the first issue of "Painting King" was published, Wang Yongsheng was suddenly called to a meeting by the Central Information Bureau.

After serving as the editor-in-chief of "Painting King",This is the second time Wang Yongsheng has stepped into the office building of the Central Information Bureau,The first time he stepped into this building was more than half a year ago,At that time, the "Painting King" magazine implemented the concept of "Japanese comics as the mainstay, Guoman as a supplement",Without the authorization of the Japanese side,Published a large number of Japanese comics including "Dragon Ball", "Football Player", "Silent Fighter Xiang", etc., as a result, it was discovered by the Japanese copyright owner, and put pressure on the Central Information Bureau, and he was called to the office building of the Information Bureau because of this.

Fortunately, Wang Yongsheng has also been in the domestic publishing industry for many years, and some leaders of the Information Bureau are also old friends, and when negotiating with each other, Wang Yongsheng was also told about his original intention of serving as "King of Painting", as well as the difficulties he faced, and promised to gradually adjust the proportion of Japanese comics and Guoman, and transform "Painting King" into a purely domestic comic magazine.

Although Wang Yongsheng doesn't know why the Information Bureau called him now, if he asks about the last time, he dares to pat his chest and say that he has no gaffes!

Indeed,Now the proportion of domestic comics published in "Painting King" is getting heavier and heavier,Take the anniversary issue as an example,Among the 10 medium-length comics that are being serialized,Japanese comics only account for 4,Chinese comics occupy 6; And the 5 short comics serialized,2 Japanese comics,3 Chinese comicsใ€‚ It's only been half a year,"The King of Paintings" has not affected sales,Adjusting the publication ratio of Guoman and Japanese comics to this point is already commendable,So Wang Yongsheng feels that he came to the News Bureau this time,There will be no big deal,It's just a gesture for the Japanese sideใ€‚

The person who received Wang Yongsheng this time was Deputy Director Cao of the Information Bureau, an old friend of Wang Yongsheng who had known him for more than ten years, and he was also responsible for discussing with Wang Yongsheng about the illegal publication of "Painting King" last time.

"Lao Wang, the situation is a little bad this time, I really don't know how to talk to you." Deputy Director Cao looked at Wang Yongsheng with a melancholy expression and said.

Hearing this, Wang Yongsheng asked suspiciously: "Lao Cao, what is the matter with calling me this time, don't sell it to me." โ€

After being silent for a while, Deputy Director Cao finally spoke: "The last time you came, I also mentioned to you that the Japanese side has repeatedly complained to us that "The King of Painting" pirated Japanese comics, of course, you assured me that "The King of Painting" has made great changes in this regard, so I have been playing Tai Chi with the Japanese side, and there is no major problem. โ€

"Thank you so much, Lao Cao, if you hadn't helped me navigate in the middle, I wouldn't have known how to face the Japanese copyright owner for a while, and it was indeed our fault first."

Deputy Director Cao shook his hand: "Old friends, I can also help a little, but the limelight has changed recently, and the open letter criticizing Japanese comics has been published in the "Renming Daily", to be honest, the top has also made up its mind to rectify the current chaotic comic book market. โ€

Wang Yongsheng's heart rose to his throat at this time: "That, that...... You're going to ......."

After a long sigh, Deputy Director Cao patted Wang Yongsheng's shoulder and said regretfully: ""The King of Paintings" must be stopped immediately, Lao Wang, I'm sorry, I've done my best!" โ€

Wang Yongsheng only felt that the sky was falling apart, and he couldn't say half a sentence.
