China's new comic growth process has been 11 years! ! ! China's original new comics from there is nothing, and strive to be good, although the development is slow, it has been silent. Perhaps, a breakthrough work is needed at this time.
April 7, 2003 was the birthday of Astro.
50 years ago, "The God of Japan" is a sparkle, there is no reason to set this day as the "birthday" of the iron arm A Tongmu. In the early 1980s, "Iron Arm A Tongmu" and black and white TV have entered China's ordinary people's home.
"100,000 horsepower, seven power, selflessly fearless A Tongmu." More than 20 years have passed, many people "30" people can sing this theme song. Since the influence of Japanese comics, since 1993, China has its own original new comics. So far, just eleven years.
Small people's death
For those who were born in the 1970s, they became their childhood memories with A Tongmu, and there was a comic changing from the country (ie "Small Book"). Before the Japanese comics, China's original new comic has once, the small people have reached its unprecedented historical height, but then it is rapidly dying.
According to Wang Yong, the president of the China Oriental Cultural Research Association, Director Wang Yong, by 1981, the monthly issuance of China's "Connected Board Pictorial News" also reached an amazing figure of 11.0%. However, in the few years, the Chinese "collective unconscious" abandoned the small book. The issue of China's "Connected Brand Pictorial" has fallen sharply, and it has dropped to seven million in 1993. In Xinhua Bookstore, the little southern has almost disappeared without trace.
To this end, I also launched a "saving sports". But just like Feng Yucai said, with the rise of film and television culture, the people have not accepted the small book. The little man will not go out again, because it has come to the end.
At the same time, with the "Saint Seiya", "Forest Emperor" and other Japanese cartoons broadcast in China, the pirated Japanese comic book is emerging in China after the rain.
Now, go back, the little southern is really difficult. "Beijing Cartoon" editor Yan Baohua believes that the sensation of the small people and film and television is a distance; the child who grows up in the TV in the 1980s, it is very adapted to the close-up of the Japanese comics related to film and television culture. Static picture is not interested.
Wang Yong recalled that the small people became a popular form, and the government's high-profile division of small people as a teaching tool was not opened. At that time, many publishers and painters were involved in. In order to facilitate popularity, the form of a small person is unified: a picture, first reading, seeing the picture, the result is 40 years. Although it reached a high level on the drawing, it was later due to the increasingness of people's cultural life, plus the shock of TV culture, and the small people did not have the market. In a word, the little southern is not advancing with the times with the development of social culture, science and technology.
The cartoon family Yao Feira believes that the reason why the little person fill is not commercial, and there is no market. During the planned economy, the state attaches great importance to the small books, and there is a lot of investment, but also gives it a monopoly. However, in the 1980s, the situation had changed, the market is different, and people have more cultural consumption options, and the small people have no change, and the result is before the competition.
Today, people will only think of that the little people have existed so glorious when they are in nostalgia. However, the little people's books have not fallen, open the door for another art style.
"Painting King"
It is a new comic. Although there is still a controversy in the present, Yan Baohua believes that the traditional comics of expression of ironic and humor, there are distinctive ideological principles and social functions, and the new comics is very affected by Japanese comics, and there is a specific symbol system. The lens is very strong, using a lot of film and television techniques, with storyline. But it is different from the comic painting, the latter's picture is stationary, just a scene, the text tells the story, the screen is the illustration of the text. The industry generally founded the "Draw the Book of Book" in 1993, as the first end of China's first comic publication and original new comics, the main editorial is Wang Yong.
The wind to help the fire, the issue of "Painting Book" is 600,000, but this number is not only at the time, but it is also amazing today. But "True Strike Wind", due to many reasons, "Painting King" was suspended later.
The reason why "Painting King" is suspended, it is said to be because there are some illegal operations, such as informal introduction, copyright infringement, and off-site journals, and other issuers have problems. But some people think that these violations of the "Painting King" have now, it seems that it doesn't matter anything.
Although it is not good, the contribution of "Painting Book" is not allowed to. Yan Baohua, editor of "Beijing Cartoon", believes that "Painting King" has very historic launch of China's new comic market. Starting from the "Painting King", China has its own original, currently China's new comics leader Yao Feila, Yan Xi, Zhao Jia, Nie Jun, etc., all from "Painting Book". When it is pirated everywhere, the "Painting King" advocates original, providing important positions for local comics, significant.
However, for this past, Wang Yong did not want to use it. He believes that the "painting king" is a red fire, at least the new comics is in line with the needs of young readers at the time, filling the market gap. Moreover, pirated comic book fish rolls mixed, there is such a magazine to turn off and screen, not good.
"5155" project
After the "Painting King" stopped, the pirated Japanese comic book was raging in China, and it was aware of the market that comics will be a huge potential in China. So, in early 1995, the Central Propaganda Department and Press and Publication Office launched the "China Animation Publishing Project", "5155" project. Since then, China has a regular comic publication supported by the government.
The project strives to establish 5 comic publishing bases within two or three years, focusing on 15 large comic books, and create five comic publications. In the past two years after the "5155" project, the domestic original comics development is good, popular and heartless; it is active for young comics creation, which has created a young cartoon author, making the domestic comic market gradually move toward the right track .
However, since 1998, the comics of the Asian financial crisis, Japan, Hong Kong and Taiwan comics are walking down the road. This is also the case, the original comics are still not booming. Yan Baohua said: "Comics does not raise people. Compared with advertising, graphic design, animation, these industries, the income is very low. Due to life distress, talents are constantly lost, the original comics road is very difficult."
Correspondingly, the days of comic magazines are not good. Some magazines have suspended, and the issuance, the issue is not going on, and it can work flat, it is not bad. The festival is also very low, the general works top 80 yuan, the signage of the signage will be higher, but it will not exceed two or three hundred yuan. According to the Chinese comic authors, the workshop production means, one month must draw 20 pages very hard.
In Japan, the cartoonist is a very decent profession, even if the second three-flow painter can get the remuneration equivalent to thousands of yuan (RMB). Comparison of two phases, the two or thirty-year-old cartoon authors are definitely unbalanced. Use Yao Feila's words: "(This money) has no problem, but the regeneration is not enough."
For the "5155" project, Wang Yong believes that the cultural cause cannot be just like the project, which seems to violate the law of literary and art, and people think of the 1958 leap forward. At that time, there was a slogan: each A county is going to have a Lu Xun, a Guo Moruo. In foreign comics, especially the introduction of Japanese comics, the domestic demand is not satisfied, and the piracy cannot be eliminated. Wang Yong said that piracy only "ban" is not good, because the buyers and sellers have common interests, they must take "blocking" or "sparse" magazine, open the main entrance to foreign comic book, otherwise it will take the back door.
"Dessert era"
Although there are so many unsatisfactory, Wang Yong said that China's new comics in just ten years cannot be denied.
First, it reflects the changes in social concepts. Comics gradually changed the reputation of "bad things". In the early first, many people don't understand the comics, do not accept, and have a fear. Some people worry: comics let the child fans, is there any spiritual poppies? Will you poison youth? But a few years later, this view basically didn't, people can more reluctantly treat comics more awake.
Some comic practitioners have slowly understand that a person is too difficult, so they have formed a studio and develop to the company's form. There are few people in these studios, and dozens of people. The internal division is clear, the author can put into the creation whole body.
Wang Yong believes that this is the prototype of China's new comics towards industrialization. At this time, if there is a genius comic house, a big work may, may promote the development of new comics faster. "Iron arm A Tongmu" like Japanese handcuffs, "small rogue" in Hong Kong Huang Yulang in the 1970s, "Wulongyuan" in Taiwan, Taiwan, said, these works, driving other works, causing mass sex Comics boom.
However, the emergence of genius needs to be accumulated by social culture, and it is necessary to cultivate soil, fertilizer and rain. And China's current comic authors are still very young, life experience, knowledge accumulation and cultural heritage are lacking, plus social, market participation is not high, can not gather all kinds of strength together, want them to create anantity Establishing, high-level works, and quite difficult.
Japanese comics master handcuffs have divided the development of Japanese modern comics into six stages: the first stage in the war, is the first stage, it is the child's "toy era", and the comics is just a child to make fun, after the "clear era" ", Comics is considered a vulgar, shallow bad book; the third is the" snack era ", parents and teachers barely allow children to see it under the conditions of learning; then comics are affirmed by society, enter" staple food era "; In the 1980s, it was "Air Age", comics became a non-separable part of young people; after the mid-1980s, I entered the "Issue Age", and comics became a symbol of communication between juveniles.
In this way, China's new comics may have not yet been separated from the "snack era". However, although there are many difficulties on the road, we have seen dawn dawn, I believe a crazy animation era is slowly approaching! ! !
