Comic Big Thunder - Detailed introduction to the comic:
In 1986, Zheng Wen won the "Best Comic Award" from Kodansha Japan,
He has been invited to draw new works for publishing houses for a long time.
As a result, he has created many excellent works, such as "The Deep and Beautiful Asia",
"The Heroes of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty", "Long Live" Red All over Asia.
And so many years of hard work have finally come to fruition and yielded fruitful results.
With the full support of Japan’s largest publishing house, “Kodansha”,
< p>The "Zheng Wen Painting Collection", which contains wonderful original paintings over the years, has been published. Although the price is not cheap,Coupled with the general recession in the Japanese publishing industry, it can still achieve rapid reprint sales. Good results.
Special introduction to "Zheng Wen's Secret Technique"
Almost every cartoonist must go through countless experiments in the creative process before he can find his own style.
From black and white ink to color, and then from color to find rich color ink that can fully express the majestic momentum of ancient China,
Then we enter a new experimental realm assisted by drawing computers , Zheng Wen is exploring all the possibilities of comics step by step.
So, whether it is Western techniques or Eastern painters, or even the mixed multi-material creation form of modern art,
Master Zheng has tried it all. Moreover, these experimental techniques were specially published in the painting album.
The new art that combines drama and painting
Publishing a set of comic books by Su Huanzhen and Ye Xiaochai to the millions of Perak theater fans was originally a challenge,
< p>It is a big test to bring this popular taste that is 100% Taiwanese original to the Hong Kong market, which does not have Perak culture.But both of these problems were solved by Zheng Wen one by one.
The Big Thunderbolt was an unprecedented challenge for him.
Zheng Wen said that the difficulty of painting "The Big Thunderbolt" was an unprecedented challenge for him. He started working on it in March this year.
p>Every day I live a tense life of falling asleep when I am tired of painting, and painting again when I wake up,
Because all the characters in the Pili story are well-known stars,
< p>It is not easy just to decide on the shape of the comic version.What's more, the market positioning of this comic also includes Hong Kong readers who "don't know thunder".
My favorite "Swordsman" is "Swordsman"
"Swordsman" is Zheng Wen's favorite Thunderbolt hero.
Every time he is exhausted from drawing, he just wants to Once you paint a picture of smiling proudly in the mortal world, your spirit will come up.
Zheng Wen said that Xiao Ao Hongchen has great martial arts skills, but is very stupid and straightforward. This personality is very similar to that of an artist.
He particularly likes it, so not only is Xiao Ao Hongchen originally brilliant The style of white hair was beautified with fashionable "orange highlights", and it was also used as a cover.
And in the future plot, Xiao Ao Hongchen, who originally had no role, became the first male protagonist in the comic version.
The most difficult thing to draw is "Su Huan Zhen"
The most difficult thing to draw is Su Huan Zhen. Painting him is the most stressful.
Zheng Wen said that Su Huanzhen’s deified character personality of “half god, half saint and half fairy” has no obvious “human touch” and sometimes it is just He is fierce and sometimes cunning and unpredictable, just like a politician.
I really don’t like Su Huanzhen’s true form, so I chose the Thunderbolt drama as the comic material.
Therefore, Su Huanzhen only appears in one or more comic books. After two episodes, he will retire and take a break, and the clone "Huajue Bailiansheng" will appear.
And the predecessor of "One Page Book", "Creation Madman", will be the core character of the comic version.
Determined to contribute to Taiwan's comics creation
Entered the industry at the age of 26, and confirmed his unique ink painting style with the work "Black Panther" at the age of 28;
The following year , was poached by the Japanese comics industry, and has been stationed in the highly competitive Japanese comics market for 12 years.
The long historical comic "Heroes of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty" created by Zheng Wen won the Japan Comics Association's Excellence Award,
This is also the first time in the Japanese comics industry that a foreigner has taken away the grand prize in 20 years, and he has since been listed as a first-line master-level comic artist.
Zheng Wen said that Taiwan made him famous, and Japan gave him enough space to improve the quality of his creations. Although there are fewer readers,
but his influence has expanded, in the field of comic art. It enjoys a certain status.
This time I moved to Hong Kong to complete the "Hong Kong-made Taiwanese" puppet show comics.
The main reason is to fight for the comic creation in Taiwan, which is about to be discontinued. I don't believe that a 23 million The human market cannot allow Taiwanese comics to survive and thrive.
Zheng Wen said that the comic Big Thunder is a commercial work through and through. Whether it is the painting style or marketing packaging,
it is all executed under the strategy of strict professional division of labor. This
I hope this model of selling comics in Hong Kong will also bring some new perspectives to the Taiwanese comics industry.
Because Taiwanese comics died at the hands of the censorship of the National Compilation and Compilation Center in the past,
Now there is no reason to die in the air of free creation.
Unique signature style
Comic fans who often attend autograph sessions know that Master Zheng’s autograph sessions are not difficult to arrange.
The reason is not just the popularity of the master. Because every time Zheng Wen signs his signature, he is different from other cartoonists.
Others mostly use signature pens, or at most a few silver paint pens, gold paint pens or colored markers for embellishment.
Hey! Zheng Wenke used the Four Treasures of the Study with the most Chinese artistic temperament, using the brush to dance with ink,
either rendering, freehand brushwork, or inscription. Whenever he met someone he liked,
He even draws special figures of the protagonists in his works!
If you are the lucky one who owns the only one in the world, it’s no wonder you are unhappy!
The "Ha Zheng" trend is spreading in Japan
Taiwanese people say "Ha Ri", and Japanese people say "Ha" Zheng Wen. Eight years ago, for the first time as a foreigner, he won the honor of the "Japan Cartoonists Association Award". Since then, Zheng Wen's comics have been in and out of Japan, and they have flourished unimpeded.
Zheng Wen’s comics are like meticulous and colorful Chinese paintings
Zheng Wen’s comics are not like comics, but like meticulously detailed Chinese paintings; the plot outlined by Zheng Wen,
>Whether it is a historical novel or a fictional story, it is all moving.
The paintings of heroes radiate righteousness; the paintings of wars are thrilling; the expressions of the characters are lifelike. This is the charm of Zheng Wen's comics.
The special Zheng Wen style of painting has long attracted readers of an older age group. They regard Zheng Wen’s comics as classics in their collections, but they don’t read them on a daily basis. comics.
Zheng Wen was shocked to realize that he was drifting away from the young comic book crowd. Recently, he accepted the invitation from Wang Rongwen, chairman of Yuanliu Publishing.
Under the condition of "self-depreciation", Drawing the puppet show Shi Yanwen into comics, accepting a new challenge,
turning back to embrace Taiwan's commercial market, leading the largest local comic production in the millennium.
Using Shi Yunwen to counterattack Asia
Shi Yunwen enriched the childhoods of many adults, and Zheng Wen was no exception. He was obsessed with Shi Yunwen’s memories when he was a child.
Zheng Wen sincerely An inexplicable sense of responsibility arose. Looking around, Taiwan's local popular culture has disappeared.
The only thing that can compete with foreign culture is Huang Junxiong's Shi Yanwen. In the future, through Zheng Wenshi
Use Shi Yanwen to counterattack Japan, South Korea, mainland China, Hong Kong and other regions.
Zheng Wen also spent more than a year painting the faces of 200 generals and more than 20 large-scale war scenes.
In the video game "Zheng Wen" "Three Kingdoms", hoping not only to make a lot of money from the Japanese, but also to prove that Taiwanese comics are far better than Japanese comics.
Catching the pulse is the key. Zheng Wen, who even drew Confucius into a cartoon, naturally did not have much pressure to draw Shi Yanwen.
However, Zheng Wen knew that the difficulty in cartooning Shi Yanwen was It aroused the excitement of the comics community, caught the pulse, and received echoes.
"Shi Yanwen's character of loyalty, education and filial piety is like reading "The Analects". It is a belief,
but it does not conform to the trend of the times; but the lovely thing about Shi Yanwen is that he Caring for and having confidence in people,
from a modern point of view, is a fool’s behavior, but it is so cute.”
He will respect Huang Junxiong’s originality and draw it. The very young and perfect Shi Yunwen appeared in the new millennium.
Art fans have been waiting for him for eight years
"After waiting for eight years, I finally met Master Zheng Wen in person."
At the Comic Expo, 26-year-old Lin Wenjian came from Zhongli with a 2-foot-long "Abi Sword" just to meet Zheng Wen, hoping that Zheng Wen could sign his name on the blade.
Although this unexpected episode at the Comic Expo did not shock many people, it was a man's perseverance and eye-catching performance in order to realize his dream.
At the Manga Expo venue, Lin Wenjian was carrying a sword wrapped in linen and excitedly waiting to attend Zheng Wen’s autograph session.
But when he heard that the autograph session would be temporary Cancellation, and Zheng Wen just left 5 minutes ago,
The eager expectations suddenly disappeared, and his heart sank to the bottom of his stomach.
Because this is already the 8th year of waiting, I can’t count how many comic book signings I have attended.
But I always miss it and come and go with my sword on my shoulder. It’s difficult for others to understand the feeling of leaving; and this long sword was sculpted out of hard resin after watching Zheng Wen’s comic “Abi Sword” when he was in his third year of high school.
,
This intention of paying homage to the master has not been achieved for a long time.
Disappointed, he was about to leave, but he heard the good news from the service staff, saying, "Zheng Wen will be there soon."
While waiting, someone was curious. He was asked to undo the cloth cover and take a look at the appearance of the Abi Sword, but he refused.
For 8 years, the sword has been wrapped in a cloth cover and never shown to anyone, because he reserved the priority to Zheng asked.
After meeting Zheng Wen, the master and the painting fan met happily. Zheng Wen exchanged friendly greetings and asked him where his graduates made the Abi sword so well.
Lin Wenjian shyly said that in the third grade of elementary school, he became obsessed with Zheng Wen’s debut novel "Black Panther" serialized in the Times Magazine.
Later, he even read with Zheng Wen as the title. As a role model, I chose Fuxing Art to become Zheng Wen’s junior student.
/p>
The publishing house has made an appointment with him. When the Comics Expo opens in February next year, he will be invited to bring his sword to the exhibition and be Zheng Wen's honored guest.
Everyone is happy with this HAPPY ENDING. Because this big boy has fulfilled a dream,
and another thunderous dream is waiting for him not far away.
