Chapter 230: Li Ye: You must correct your aesthetics
Li Ye was also very surprised when he saw Zou Zhiguo, Ah Qiang, and Pan Xiaoqing, just asked Zou Zhiguo to take Ah Qiang to see a flag-raising, why did he even recruit reporters?
What kind of battle is this?
Li Ye had no choice but to receive the three of them while asking Sun Xianjin to hurry up and call Li Huaisheng.
Now Li Huaisheng is still the president of the Literature Society!
Pan Xiaoqing looked at the young Li Ye, and asked with bright eyes: "This classmate, may I ask what kind of cultural cooperation you have with Hong Kong Island?" ”
Li Ye smiled and said, "Let's wait for the president of our literary club to come!" ”
Pan Xiaoqing smiled: "You tell me first!" ”
Li Ye waved his hand: "It's inconvenient or inconvenient, I don't know many details." ”
Although it was Li Ye who matched the bridge this time, it was better to deal with reporters like Li Haisheng and Yang Yumin.
Li Huaisheng and Yang Yumin came soon, and when they saw that Li Ye had no intention of "stealing the spotlight" at all, they all sighed that "Li Ye is a kind person".
But actually! Li Ye doesn't need this kind of publicity opportunity, and he also wants to downplay the relationship with the Talang Literary Publishing House on the surface, so as not to make people talk nonsense.
Li Huaisheng had already communicated with Li Ye, so he naturally understood what Li Ye meant by calling Ah Qiang to come to the capital.
"We invited Mr. Huo to come over in order to let him deeply understand the depth and splendor of the flower-planting civilization.
Let him have a clearer understanding of the background of the era of "Lonely Soldier", which is conducive to the creation of related comics."
"You may not know that there is no uniform rule for history textbooks on Hong Kong Island, and school teachers are free to choose textbooks, which leads to a lack of awareness of the history of flower planting among students on Hong Kong Island."
"So we decided to arrange some history lessons for Mr. Huo first, and then let him feel the vastness of the motherland and see the cultural relics left by his ancestors, such as the Forbidden City in Beijing, such as the Terracotta Warriors and Horses in Chang'an."
"That's right, there is also the Great Wall outside the plug, and the Yumen Pass where the spring breeze is not excessive"
Li Huaisheng and Yang Yumin talked eloquently to reporter Pan Xiaoqing, and Ah Qiang, who was listening, opened his mouth wider and wider, and his eyes became more and more confused.
He just wanted to finish this job quickly and return to Hong Kong Island to ask the boss to give him a promotion and a raise!
But what do these people say?
Let me take a class to learn history? If I like to study in class, I still need to make a living by drawing salty and wet comics?
And look at this momentum, what's the matter, do you really want me to go through the great rivers and mountains of the motherland?
Li Ye looked at Ah Qiang's embarrassed appearance, and added indifferently: "The Memorial Hall of Resisting M and Aiding Korea by the Yalu River is also going to be seen." ”
“.”
"We must go, we must go and see, we are not only strong in our ancestors, but also not weak now, we can't let others think that the country is weak because of our habitual humility,
Let Mr. Huo go and see how the Royal Infantry Brigade of the British Army was captured by our soldiers. ”
“.”
Cuong is already stupid.
Just now he was warmed by the well-wishers around him, but now he was numbed by a few "nationalists".
The infantry brigade of the Great Eagle Empire was captured? How come I haven't heard of it?
Love how it is! Anyway, he was alone in the wolf's den, and the fat sheep to be slaughtered had no right to resist.
However, after the interview, Cuong felt that warm warmth again.
The students of Beijing University gave a warm welcome to Ah Qiang, not only the students of the Literature Club, but also the Student Union and the Youth League Committee came to express their friendly attitude towards Ah Qiang.
And after learning that Cuong is an orphan, this attitude instantly rises to the level of care.
"Settle down at Beijing University first, and don't hesitate to mention any difficulties and requirements."
"Okay, okay, but I booked a hotel today, thank you."
Zou Zhiguo told Ah Qiang in advance that he would take him out to live tonight, so Ah Qiang tried his best to refrain from Jingda's kindness.
When he left Beijing University in the evening, Ah Qiang asked Zou Zhiguo: "The last person who shook hands with me just now is not a student, right?" ”
Zou Zhiguo pushed the bicycle and said, "It's not a student, that's the director of the school." ”
Ah Qiang was shocked and said, "Director? Is the Commissioner of Police the kind of commissioner? ”
Zou Zhiguo squinted at Ah Qiang, noncommittal, stepped on the bicycle and pedaled.
The Commissioner of Police on Hong Kong Island is commonly known as the "first brother of the police force", and it is braggart to say that he is powerful, but he is definitely a bigwig on Hong Kong Island.
It's just that Zou Zhiguo didn't want to explain, so Ah Qiang sat on the back seat of the bicycle and looked at his palms in a daze, feeling that it was still hot.
Zou Zhiguo rode a bicycle to the Soajun Temple and met Li Ye.
Li Ye smiled and said, "Pei Wencong told you about my situation, right?" ”
Ah Qiang nodded and said, "I told you, here, everything is up to Mr. Li." ”
When Ah Qiang came, Pei Wencong told him not to offend Li Ye a little, but not to be too respectful in front of outsiders.
"Sit down!"
Li Ye beckoned Ah Qiang to sit down, and then said, "I look at your expression today, it seems that you are very surprised by the arrangement here, do you think something is inappropriate?" ”
Ah Qiang said: "This must be surprising, I thought I would go back in a few days, but now it seems that half a month is not enough." ”
"It has nothing to do with time," Li Ye denied: "If you are the right person, it may not take half a month." ”
Ah Qiang was stunned, it is not necessarily appropriate for you to welcome me so much?
So he asked, "So what is the right person?" ”
"Identity, recognition from the heart," Li Ye said very seriously: "We need someone who identifies with this land from the bottom of our hearts to be the main writer and person in charge of this comic." ”
This is the reason why Li Ye insisted on sending a cartoonist north on Hong Kong Island.
He was afraid that people like Naoto Nakamura would wantonly adapt "The Lonely Army", and he also did not blindly trust Hong Kong Island.
It's '83, and the outside demonization propaganda is definitely there.
And the end of "The Lonely Army in the Hometown" is the plot of the remnants of the Tang Dynasty in the Western Regions, who travel thousands of miles to return to their hometown.
It took a long time for Ah Qiang to understand what Li Ye meant, and after thinking for a while, he said, "I don't know if it's the person you need, but I don't agree with Hong Kong Ying, they have never regarded me as theirs. Compatriot. ”
Cuong used the word "compatriot", which he didn't have any feelings about until today.
"Okay, show me your work."
Cuong opened his luggage and took out seven or eight comic magazines and comic sketches.
Li Ye took Ah Qiang's work, opened it and watched it carefully, looking at it, his face was not right.
Cuong's painting skills are very good, but there are a lot of bad things mixed in these works.
In the sixties and seventies, Hong Kong Island Comics used to have a wave of astringency and violence, but later published relevant hard and fast rules, and it was much more restrained.
Ah Qiang's works do not exceed the regulations, but the obscure edge style is very obvious.
And you wipe the edges, just wipe the edges! It's okay to be able to grasp "purity" and "desire"! But Ah Qiang's works are too dusty, and they can't make otaku boys reverie about the "goddess".
"What kind of mess is this?" Li Ye said with a gloomy face: "Why did Pei Wencong recommend you?" Do you know what kind of work "Lonely Soldier" is? ”
Ah Qiang was taken aback by Li Ye's sudden outburst of aura, so he had to whisper: "I know, it's the same genre as "Flying in the Wind", and I have tried to write something similar. ”
"Show me."
Ah Qiang hurriedly took the half he wrote to Li Ye.
After Li Ye looked at it for a while, his gloomy face eased slightly, Ah Qiang's creative ideas on the top are still more in line with "The Lonely Army in the Hometown".
He said solemnly to Ah Qiang: "You, you must correct your aesthetics, accept strict relevant knowledge learning, this comic, do not allow anything with bad orientation." ”
Cuong felt the intense pressure, he was a little aggrieved and a little unhappy.
For many years, Cuong wanted to be a real cartoonist, but couldn't even find a job as a full-fledged "comic assistant".
This time, Pei Wencong asked him to go north to the capital, which was his opportunity and his test.
Li Ye asked coldly, "Do you want to go back now?" ”
Cuong was silent for a long time, did not speak, and finally shook his head slowly.
"Then you will move to the dormitory of Beijing University tomorrow and study seriously."
That night, Cuong tossed and turned in bed and couldn't sleep.
As soon as he closed his eyes, he would see the enthusiastic gazes of the day, especially the eyes of the seven or eight-year-old girl, which made him especially reluctant to give up.
。。。。。。
The next day, Ah Qiang went to Beijing University with a pair of panda eyes, and then in the activity room of the Lone Army Literature Club, he saw two stacks of books and albums like hills.
Li Huaisheng said with a smile: "Hello Mr. Huo Renqiang, this is a historical material related to the middle of the Tang Dynasty, as well as the armor, weapons, and clothing at that time. If you don't understand something, you can bring it up and discuss it together. ”
Cuong: "."
All morning, Cuong spent his days like a year.
The simplified Chinese books looked very laborious, and Li Huaisheng needed to explain them to him constantly, and Ah Qiang suddenly felt that he was similar to a primary school student.
Fortunately, Li Ye provided information in advance, and the history textbooks on Hong Kong Island are seriously lacking in the history of planting flowers, otherwise Ah Qiang's scumbag nature would have been completely exposed.
By the afternoon, Cuong became interested in the albums, copying a few of them, and then he couldn't stop until dinner.
After Li Huaisheng and several other classmates saw Ah Qiang's sketches, they all praised each other.
"Mr. Huo, your painting style is very distinctive, and I am also a painting enthusiast, can you teach me?"
"Yes, Mr. Huo, can you tell us about the characteristics of comics and the differences between them and sketches?"
When a few students sincerely asked Ah Qiang for advice, he was depressed for most of the day, and suddenly felt that his life at Beijing University was not so difficult.
