Chapter 22 Interview I
If Chen Xiang's speed of fame is already impressive, then Xiang Junfei's speed of fame is jaw-dropping, half a month after the 13th issue of "The King of Paintings" was released, the 14th issue of "The King of Paintings" also appeared in the eyes of fans across the country as scheduled. Although Dragon Ball's self-esteem is still unshakable, it can be seen from readers' feedback letters that "Full Time Hunter" and "Next Stop Superstar" are already the two manga in the current magazine and second only to "Dragon Ball" in popularity. In just half a month, Xiang Junfei conquered domestic comic fans and became the most popular domestic cartoonist at the moment.
"Another reader wrote to ask for the contact address of the pit boy." Lu Jian picked up the letter and sighed sincerely, "I read 5 letters today, and 3 of them were all about asking about the pit boy, and his popularity is really not ordinarily high." To be honest, if he hadn't greeted us in advance, I would have liked to have published some of his material in the magazine, and I really wanted to see how surprised these readers would have been when they learned that Pit Tsai was just a schoolboy. ”
"I think there will probably be a lot of people like you, choking on the water!" Zheng Nan still remembers that when he returned to Beijing and told Lu Jian about his meeting with Xiang Junfei, he was drinking water, but after hearing that Xiang Junfei, a primary school student, was the author of the two comics, he choked on the water on the spot, which made people laugh.
After everyone laughed, Lu Jian seriously suggested: "No kidding. Actually, I'm really thinking about when we're going to do an interview with Xiang Junfei. If you look at the manga magazines that we mail-order back from Japan, almost every one of them has interviews with their manga artists. In this way, readers can not only see the latest information that they like about the author, but also promote the cartoonist and increase his popularity, which can be described as killing two birds with one stone. I think this is really worth learning from. ”
"Of course, I knew it was a good thing, but when I was talking to Xiao Xiang, he told me not to leak his personal information, or else not to serialize cartoons in our magazine. You said that everyone said so, I can't break my promise, otherwise I will really make the other party so angry that I will suspend the publication, and Mr. Wang will never spare me. Zheng Nan sighed regretfully.
After hearing the discussion between the two, Cai Yu also expressed his opinion: "Actually, Brother Zheng, I think we can give it a try." Didn't our magazine also have a small column about the characters before? However, each issue of this column only introduces some information about Japanese manga artists. Now in our magazine, the proportion of local comics has become larger and larger, from the next issue is to start to hold the "King of Painting" ultra-short story contest, Mr. Wang also said that during the holding of this competition, let us publish some of the information of the participating painters one after another, but I think that instead of publishing a few sentences of painter information at the front of the page, it is better to conduct an interview with some excellent painters, and put the interview article in the character introduction column. Although Xiao Xiang did not participate in this short story competition, we also included him in the interview list this time, and having an interview with such a heavyweight author will definitely raise readers' attention to our interview series. As long as the questions we ask don't involve some specific personal information, then I think Xiao Xiang should also agree to our interview with him. ”
Zheng Nan thought about it and felt that Cai Yu was reasonable, although he didn't dare to guarantee that Xiang Junfei would definitely introduce the interview, but it was always okay to try it, if the other party was unwilling to accept it, then naturally it was not reluctant, but once the other party accepted it, everyone was naturally happy. So Zheng Nan replied: "Okay, I'll tell Mr. Wang about this matter and see if he has any opinions." ”
When Zheng Nan told Wang Yongsheng everyone's opinion, the other party immediately agreed to this suggestion, in fact, Wang Yongsheng has long had the intention of introducing Chinese local cartoonists to comic fans across the country, until Chen Xiang's "Xiaoshan Diary" became popular in "Painting King", he has always wanted to find an appropriate time to introduce this local cutting-edge cartoonist in the magazine, and then Xiang Junfei was very successful in "Painting King", which made him firm in this belief.
In fact, this kind of interview is equivalent to a means of promoting the magazine itself, not only to promote the cartoonist himself, but also to promote the magazine itself in front of the readers. You must know that cartoonists like Xiang Junfei and Chen Xiang can be regarded as cultivated by "Painting King", the greater the fame of this kind of cartoonist, the more it can prove the excellence of "Painting King" itself, and expand the influence of the magazine in the hearts of readers. Painting King", dreaming of becoming a cartoonist like Xiang Junfei one day.
In fact, no matter which comic magazine, if it wants to be successful, it will spend a lot of effort to cultivate its own team of authors, just like in the future, after the discontinuation of "Painting King", it will replace it as the most influential comic journal magazine in China. When "Manyou" transformed from a pure anime information magazine to an original comic, it spared no expense in cultivating its own team of authors and spent a lot of effort to promote them.
Like the Golden Dragon Award, which was founded by "Manyou", after several years of development, it has been known as the Oscar in the field of Chinese comics, symbolizing the highest honor in the Chinese comic world, but many outsiders do not understand that if you want to win this Golden Dragon Award, there must be a premise, and the winner must be a signed cartoonist of "Manyou". In other words, in fact, this Golden Dragon Award is equivalent to an internal PK competition for the signed painters of "Manyou", and cartoonists who are not under "Manyou" may be nominated for a certain award, but even if the strength of that cartoonist is stronger than his competitors, as long as his opponent is a cartoonist under "Manyou", he will definitely lose.
In the era before Xiang Junfei's rebirth, people like Lin Ying, Zhu Letao, Kexin, Benjamin, Ruan Yunting, and Lonely Land were all cartoonists who were promoted by "Manyou" through various publicity and momentum.
With the current good atmosphere of comic creation in China, coupled with the momentum of "Painting King" dominating the country in China, it is much easier for it to become popular with a cartoonist than it is for "Manyou" to become popular with a cartoonist in the future. In addition, Xiang Junfei is already a popular cartoonist in China, if "The King of Painting" is further building momentum for him at this time, only God will know how much Xiang Junfei's influence in China will be.
