In the office, Mr. Liu was sitting on a chair and said amiably to Xiang Junfei: "Today, the teacher criticized you on the topic, to be honest, are you angry?" ”

"No, it's true that I'm late for class today, Teacher Liu is right to criticize, how can I be angry." A 28-year-old person with a psychological age, but was reprimanded by a 25-year-old elementary school teacher, Xiang Junfei really thought it was funny, but he could only laugh in his heart.

"Well, it's good that you can think like this, you know, you are now the deputy squad leader in the class, and you have to play a pioneering role in the class, and today you are still late as the deputy squad leader, and the impact is so bad. The teacher also has to criticize you in front of your classmates, you know? ”

"Got it, I promise it won't be once."

"Well, the teacher also believes that you won't have a next time, so you should go home early and don't let your parents worry." Speaking of this, Mr. Liu also opened the drawer, and gave a lollipop to Xiang

Junfei, "Take it and eat it, remember the guarantee I gave to the teacher today!" ”

Although Xiang Junfei didn't have the slightest interest in the lollipop in front of him, in order to show the innocent and lively appearance of a 10-year-old child, Xiang Junfei had to pretend to be excited, "Thank you, teacher, I will not forget today's guarantee." When Xiang Junfei took the lollipop and turned around, the pretended smiling face immediately froze. There is no way, until now, Xiang Junfei has not thought of how to get the first gold, how can he be happy.

Walking on the way home, Xiang Junfei still didn't stop thinking, as the so-called can't be used for two purposes, Xiang Junfei, who was walking while thinking about the problem, didn't find that a little girl who was half a head shorter than him was standing in front of him with her back to him, and as a result, Xiang Junfei, who didn't see clearly, accidentally knocked the little girl to the ground.

"Wow", the little girl opened her throat and cried, and the eyes of the adults around her immediately focused on Xiang Junfei, how can you, a boy, bully the little girl.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to, get up and don't cry." Xiang Junfei hurriedly pulled up the little girl sitting on the ground, and slapped the dust on his pants for the other party.

"Woo woo woo ......" Although Xiang Junfei has been comforting the little girl, the other party is still sobbing, which can make Xiang Junfei sad, after all, this matter is completely his own, and as a 28-year-old elementary school student, even if this matter is not his own business, he can't just leave the other party alone.

By the way, don't I have a lollipop in my pocket, Xiang Junfei suddenly remembered the lollipop that Mr. Liu gave him just now, so he immediately took it out of his pocket, put it in the little girl's hand, and said softly: "Little sister, don't cry, my brother will give you a lollipop to eat." ”

Except for Xiang Junfei, a child in a special situation, there is really no child who can ignore the sweet lollipop, and the little girl's tears also stopped as soon as she got the lollipop, which made Xiang Junfei sincerely sigh that this girl has the talent to become an actor.

The little girl was also polite, and after getting the lollipop, she also thanked Junfei: "Thank you, brother." ”

Sure enough, he is an innocent and pure elementary school student, and a lollipop can coax people. Xiang Junfei sighed and suddenly saw a book falling on the ground, thinking that when he had just knocked down the little girl, the other party accidentally fell to the ground, thinking of this, Xiang Junfei immediately bent down to pick it up for the other party.

When Xiang Junfei picked up the book, he found that the little girl fell on the ground with the comic "Robot Cat". "Robot Cat", whose real name is "Doraemon", is a classic manga created by Japanese manga artist Fujiko Fujio (Note 1), which began serialization in 1969, and its animated version was introduced to Chinese mainland in 1991, and was warmly welcomed by Chinese audiences. Later, the People's Fine Arts Publishing House was officially authorized by Japan and began to launch the comic version of "Robot Cat", the quality of this version is excellent, and it is deeply loved by domestic "Robot Cat" fans. ”

Now Xiang Junfei looks at the "Robot Cat" version of the People's Fine Arts Publishing House, and can't help but recall the time when he watched "Robot Cat" by himself.

Japanese cartoonists are really amazing, works like "Robot Cat" can really be enduring, I think I didn't measure myself at the beginning, and fantasized about becoming China's "Fujiko Fujio" but I really entered this industry, only to find out how barren China's comic soil is, not to mention relying on comics to make a fortune, or even mixing to the point of supporting a family, it is a thousand dangers and difficulties. Alas, the past is unbearable. Thinking of this, Xiang Junfei let out a long sigh.

Like many young people who dream of becoming a cartoonist and revitalizing domestic comics, Xiang Junfei has always insisted on independent creation and contributed to major animation magazines before he decided to enter the animation industry, and his comic works have also appeared in some domestic animation magazines from time to time. Maybe some people who don't know about the domestic comics industry will think that cartoonists like Xiang Junfei who can serialize in magazines are very powerful, and they can make a lot of money, but in fact, this is a big mistake, Xiang Junfei They can get a pitiful amount of manuscript fees from magazines, and the manuscript fee obtained by a page of manuscripts is only about 50 yuan, and the most hateful thing is that some magazines do not charge original comics at all, if you want to publish them, you can't get a penny from the magazine, and the magazine will also say: "I am providing you with a stage to show, I'm worth it if I didn't charge you! ”

From high school to the animation magazine to the company, Xiang Junfei has been drawing comics for 6 years, but the manuscript fee from various magazines is only more than 10,000, and the highest monthly manuscript fee is less than 1,000.

Seeing that Xiang Junfei didn't react for a long time while holding the robot cat, the little girl reminded timidly while holding a lollipop: "Brother, the book ......"

Xiang Junfei, who came back to his senses, hurriedly handed back the "Robot Cat" in his hand to the little girl, looking at the expression of the other party holding the book in his hand with a happy face, Xiang Junfei knew that this little girl must have become a fan of "Robot Cat", of course, there was no fan in that era.

Or Japanese cartoonists are happy, their manuscript fee for one page is more than 1,000 yuan, and the manuscript fee of first-class cartoonists is as high as more than 10,000 yuan. Just like the current Japanese comics are multiplied, not to mention the old classics such as "Astro Boy", "Robot Cat", "Britney", etc., the current "Dragon Ball", "Yuyu Hakusho", "Hokuto God Fist", "Saint Seiya of the Goddess", "Rogue Kan Yuliang", "Sailor Moon" which work is not a thunderous masterpiece. Under such a powerful comic offensive, it is no wonder that China's traditional comic books will be defeated and withdrawn from the stage of history, resulting in China's graphic story book market being occupied by Japanese comics for a long time. Thinking of this, Xiang Junfei's face couldn't help but darken.

Maybe for an ordinary animation fan, he won't care if China can produce good works, anyway, China can't produce good works, you can also watch Japanese anime, American anime and even Korean anime, the range of choices is so large, but for a person who is really engaged in the animation industry, China can't produce good animation works, it is like cutting meat in their hearts, they dream of revitalizing Chinese animation, so that Chinese animation fans can also applaud their own animation works.

The same anime work, an anime fan will cry after watching it, and the reason why he cried was because he was moved by the plot; And an anime worker will cry after watching it, but his tears are because he feels the sad tears left by the gap between the two sides. When Xiang Junfei just joined the animation company, he didn't even have a salary, the company just ate and lived, and when he went out to drink with his colleagues, everyone was drinking and crying, if it wasn't for the love of anime, who would endure such treatment.

Forget it, anyway, with the lessons of the past, this time I can see clearly what Chinese animation is all about, instead of worrying about Chinese animation here, it is better to think about how to dig the first gold. Just when Xiang Junfei decided to give up his concern for anime and cut off his anime soul, he suddenly had a flash of inspiration, patted his head, and said excitedly: "By the way, Japanese comics began to enter China in the early 90s, and China's local comics are still in a barbaric period, why don't I take this opportunity to start picking up my old business and become one of the first batch of juvenile cartoonists in China." ”

Xiang Junfei remembered a web novel "Dream Back to Ninety-Seven" that he read in college, the hero of that book returned to the 97 years when the Chinese Internet was still in its infancy, and as a result, he took advantage of the unique opportunity of coming from the future and being familiar with the development of the Internet to write several online novels that will definitely sell well, and as a result, he became a generation of grandmasters in the Internet industry.

If it is completely original, with its own ability, it should be able to break out of the world in the current wild era of local comics, and its achievements should not be inferior to Yan Kai's group of domestic cartoonists. But this alone is not enough, since Yang Fan can rely on creating future best-selling novels and become a generation of grandmasters on the Internet, why don't he take advantage of the same unique opportunity to become a world-famous cartoonist and realize the ideal ambition of the previous "me".

Thinking of the excitement, Xiang Junfei's facial muscles spasmed, and at this moment he even forgot Xiaoqin's sense of loss when he left him, and at this time, Xiang Junfei's mind was all about how he could become the world's top cartoonist.

With the original accumulation of animation knowledge, Xiang Junfei knew that in 92 years, although China has a publishing house began to distribute Japanese comics, but there is no professional animation magazine publication, but in 93 years, China's first animation magazine will be on the stage, it is the later Chinese animation people as a domestic comic enlightenment publication "Picture Book King" (hereinafter referred to as "Painting King")!

Perhaps this "Painting King" is extremely unfamiliar to post-90s anime fans, but its influence in that era is unmatched by all similar publications in China in the future.

In fact, the purpose of the founding of "The King of Paintings" is not noble, but the product of the pirates' pursuit of economic interests. In the early 90s, Japanese comics represented by "Saint Seiya of the Goddess" attracted the attention of countless Chinese teenagers, according to the survey, during the 90-91 years, the sales of this comic alone exceeded 6 million copies (pirated copies) in China, it can be said that in that era, all the booksellers who published Japanese comics made a lot of money, and many printing houses received book orders were all Japanese comics, which needed to be printed 24 hours a day and night. And the once glorious Chinese comic strips have been squeezed to the corner of I don't know what it is under the impact of Japanese comics.

After "Saint Seiya of the Goddess", the manga "Dragon Ball" created by Japanese cartoonist Akira Toriyama became the first choice of Chinese comic fans, and pirated books also found that "Dragon Ball" could bring them rolling wealth, so they followed the progress of Japan and reprinted directly from "Shonen Jump", but the number of pages in each issue of "Dragon Ball" was not enough to complete the book, thus deriving the first serialized comic magazine "Painting King" in China.

Although the emergence of "The King of Painting" is purely driven by economic interests, no one can deny that "The King of Painting" promoted the development of Chinese comics, such as Yan Kai, Chen Xiang, Yao Feila, Free Bird, Hu Qianrong and other local cartoonists were gradually known when "The King of Painting" serialized works, and became the backbone of early Chinese comics.

It is not easy to become a famous cartoonist in China, and the emergence of "Painting King" is to give domestic cartoonists a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, you must know that the sales of "Painting King" at its peak were as high as 600,000 copies, and even Japanese publishing houses were amazed at the huge influence of "Painting King", and took the initiative to contact "Painting King" in the hope that the two sides would cooperate to jointly develop China's animation market. However, it is a pity that due to China's restrictions on publishing policies and national conditions, the two sides did not reach a cooperation agreement, but it can be seen that "Painting King" was already a very influential animation magazine at that time. However, it is a pity that this "Painting King", which can be called the "enlightenment star" of Chinese animation, was forced to suspend publication after only a year of its establishment, and the dark period of domestic comics has come.

Xiang Junfei understands that serializing his works in "The King of Paintings" will be a shortcut to his fame, although this magazine can only be published for one year, but as long as he grasps the opportunity, he can become famous in this year, and then there will naturally be publishers looking for him.

After communicating these key details, Xiang Junfei immediately threw off his legs and ran home, now it has only been a year since the founding of "Painting King", and creating comics, especially independent comics, is very time-consuming. A diligent writer can create a million-word novel in half a year, but even a manga artist with multiple assistants can't create a full-length comic in a year and a half. It is not uncommon for manga to be serialized for 10, 20 or more years. For a writer, a year is a lot of creative time, but for a cartoonist, a year is a short time, especially for someone like Xiang Junfei who is ready to fight alone, he can't afford to waste time.

"Bang, bang, bang......" Xiang Junfei knocked on the door hurriedly, "Mom, hurry up and open the door!" ”

Shen Xiuli, who was busy cooking, heard her son call the door, so she had to turn off the fire and go to open the door. "You kid, you don't even bring the house keys when you go out in the morning, you don't eat breakfast, you run out in the blink of an eye, remember to me, when you go to school tomorrow morning, you must check whether you have packed up your things, whether you have the keys on your body, and whether you are hungry in the morning or not, you must give me breakfast......"

"Yes, yes, yes, I'll listen to you tomorrow." After listening to his mother's nagging Xiang Junfei say this, he immediately rushed into his room. I remember when I was in elementary school, I liked to put the money in a piggy bank, and then hold the piggy bank to my ear and shake it to listen to the jingle sound. This time, the start-up capital for my comic is all dependent on this piggy bank, but don't find it!

After entering his room, Xiang Junfei quickly scanned the entire room, searching for the traces of the piggy bank, although he was the owner of this room, but after all, it was the layout when he was a child, so where the things were placed, he couldn't remember at all at this time. After a period of rummaging through the cabinets, Xiang Junfei finally found the piggy bank from the drawer at the bottom of the desk.

Xiang Junfei held the piggy bank in his hand, some memories of him carefully putting coins into the piggy bank when he was a child came to mind from time to time, and when he thought that he was about to break this piggy bank with a lot of memories, Xiang Junfei was really a little reluctant, but he created comics this time not for graffiti for his own fun, but to use them for submission, which means that Xiang Junfei must buy some necessities for drawing comics. Xiang Junfei didn't want his parents to know that he wanted to create comics at this time, and according to his past experience, Xiang Junfei knew that his parents, especially his mother, were very opposed to him drawing comics, thinking that it was a bad hobby and affected his studies. So Xiang Junfei's only choice is to rely on his own savings.

In order to prevent his mother, who was cooking in the kitchen, from hearing the sound of herself breaking the piggy bank, Xiang Junfei specially closed the door of the room, and then raised the piggy bank to the ground, only to see coins scattered on the ground from the broken gap. Xiang Junfei did not hesitate, hurriedly bent down, gathered these coins and banknotes on the table, and began to count.

“…… 92、98、98.5、99.5、101。 After settling the accounts, Xiang Junfei found that he had a total of 101 yuan of disposable funds, in 92 years, 101 yuan was not as worthless as later, you must know that at that time there were even 5 cents of snacks on the market for sale, if a primary school student can have one yuan of pocket money a day, it is enough to make other students envious.

Well, with this money, it shouldn't be a problem to buy tools and drawing paper, and if it's not enough, I can also save my pocket money in the future, at most I can lie to my mother that I will go out for breakfast, and then save the breakfast money. Xiang Junfei wrapped the 101 yuan mixed with many coins and banknotes with waste newspapers, and then carefully put it into his school bag. Then he wrapped up the pile of piggy bank fragments on the ground with discarded newspapers and threw them in the trash can outside his home. After dealing with these things, Xiang Junfei lay down on the bed and began to study which comic he should draw.

Note 1: Fujiko Fujio is a pen name used by two manga artists, Hiroshi Fujimoto and Suo Yasuko. "Doraemon" was originally a manga work created by two manga artists, but in 1987, the two manga artists broke up, and "Doraemon" was created by Hiroshi Fujimoto alone, and his pen name was changed to "Fujiko F Fujio", and Yasuko Suo was changed to "Fujiko Fujio A".
