Chapter XXIV Interview III
For comic fans, it is undoubtedly a joy to receive a handwritten letter from a cartoonist they like, and for a domestic cartoonist, it is also exciting to receive a handwritten letter from Wang Yongsheng, the founder of China's new comics.
For example, Yan Kai once wrote on his blog that after receiving the first handwritten letter from Wang Yongsheng to him, he was so happy that he almost went crazy, and immediately ran to the hospital to give this handwritten belief to his mother, who was on a drip, and shared his joy with his mother. Of course, not only Yan Kai, but also Yao Feila, who is the leading figure in the Chinese comic world in the future, trembled with excitement when they received Wang Yongsheng's letter, and kept each letter properly.
Although Xiang Junfei is now famous, and his limelight is as strong as Yan Kai back then, as a cartoonist, he still has special respect for Wang Yongsheng, the founder of China's new comics, and when he holds this handwritten letter written by Wang Yongsheng to him, he is no different from those rookie cartoonists who have received such letters in the past, and his heart is full of excitement.
In the letter, Wang Yongsheng introduced himself at the beginning, telling Xiang Junfei that he was the editor-in-chief of "Painting King", and then affirmed Xiang Junfei's comic talent, telling him that many comic fans are now paying attention to his two works, but Wang Yongsheng did not blindly praise Xiang Junfei, but quoted Wang Anshi's famous article "Hurt Zhongyong", and gave an explanation, warning Xiang Junfei that although he has a high comic talent, but don't be complacent because of his achievements, usually in addition to studying hard, can't relax comics, and must not become Fang Zhongyong in the comics industry.
After that, Wang Yongsheng told Xiang Junfei in his heart that "The King of Paintings" would start in the next issue and hold an ultra-short story competition, and the excellent short comics currently in "The King of Paintings" would be published in the magazine one after another for readers to enjoy. In order to attract more readers' attention to Chinese comics, in this competition, "Painting King" will also interview some excellent authors, although Xiang Junfei did not participate in the competition, but they still hope to also conduct an exclusive interview with Xiang Junfei, the questions raised have been attached to another piece of letter paper, are some questions about how Xiang Junfei came into contact with comics, likes comics, and then created comics, through Xiang Junfei's personal experience to inspire some readers who are interested in creating comics to also go to the road to the cartoonist.
Because Wang Yongsheng also heard from Zheng Nan's mouth that Xiang Junfei was unwilling to disclose personal information, he also specifically pointed out in the letter that the questions of this interview will not involve Xiang Junfei's personal information, such as his specific name, school and home address, etc., mainly to ask some interesting things in the drawing of comics, of course, even if Xiang Junfei finally refuses this interview, they can understand, so Xiang Junfei only needs to decide whether to accept the interview according to his personal wishes, and there is no need to have other concerns.
In the last part of the letter, Wang Yongsheng also told Xiang Junfei the passbook password, and repeatedly told him that this money is indeed a huge amount of money for a child of his age, and it is best to hand it over to his parents for safekeeping, and not to learn to spend money lavishly at a young age, which is not beneficial to his growth.
After reading the whole letter, Xiang Junfei understood why so many domestic cartoonists respected Wang Yongsheng so much, not only because he was the founder of China's new comics, but more importantly, he was a respectable elder.
Even for a person like him, who has been in the Chinese comic scene for many years before and after his rebirth, he can't help but burn when he sees the sentence in the letter, "Although we are still far from comic publications in developed countries and regions, we will do our best to provide you with the possibility of success with Chinese original comics".
At this time, Xiang Junfei sighed more and more about how much the magazine "Painting King" has promoted China's new comics, if this magazine can always stand in the Chinese comic world, then not to mention that Chinese comics can surpass Japan, but it will definitely not be so easily surpassed by South Korea. It's a pity that this is just if, although Xiang Junfei has used "Full-time Hunter" and "Next Stop Superstar" to make "Painting King" and Chinese comics enter a peak in advance, but all he can do at present is this, and in another 10 issues, this comic magazine that has achieved fruitful results will completely say goodbye to Chinese comic fans, and a large number of extremely talented young cartoonists have once again returned to the miserable situation of not being able to find publications to contribute, even Yan Kai, Chen Xiang and other famous cartoonists, It can be said responsibly that the suspension of "The King of Painting" made many potential young cartoonists put down their brushes prematurely and ended their comic creation careers, which brought major trauma to the development of Chinese comics.
Thinking of this, Xiang Junfei couldn't help but sigh, he sighed not only for Chinese comics, but also for Wang Yongsheng, who was dedicated to the rise of Chinese comics.
Forget it, the more you think about it, the more uncomfortable it becomes, let's take a look at the questions they ask and see which ones can be answered. As Wang Yongsheng said, the questions they raised basically did not involve Xiang Junfei's personal information, and there was nothing that could not be answered. So after reading the interview and asking questions, he decided to accept this interview and share some of his insights on the comics. Strive to make more comic fans have firm confidence in Chinese comics under the collapse of "The King of Painting", so that they believe that no matter how much setbacks and tribulations Chinese comics will experience, as long as we don't give up or abandon them, then Chinese comics will eventually become a phoenix.
That night, Xiang Junfei did not draw cartoons as usual, but crawled on the desk, seriously answering the questions in the letter, although some of the answers inevitably made some fiction, but he was more of his heartfelt words - that is, no matter what kind of situation Chinese comics have reached today, he will persist in creating, I hope everyone will not despair of Chinese comics!
