Comics History

With a "bang", " "Red"

On October 1, 2010, the opening day of the third Wenzhou Cartoon and Animation Festival was very lively. Chen Long held a book signing at the venue with his new work "Daddy, Mommy, Here I Come". At this time, among the crowd passing by Chen Long's autograph signing point, someone suddenly exclaimed, "It turns out you are the author of this book, it turns out you are from Wenzhou!" The person who exclaimed told Chen Long that he was his fan and had been online I followed his comics, but never knew he was from Wenzhou. This comic artist who is almost unknown in the local area is undoubtedly a "dark horse" that has emerged in the online comics circle recently. His "fame" began in Internet, and it is quite dramatic that it became famous overnight.

In March 2009, Chen Long uploaded the "Comic Diary" recording the entire process of his wife's pregnancy to Tencent's original animation platform. In less than 3 days, it created more than 500,000 hits, and the hit rate has exceeded 300 million. A week later, the "Comic Diary" appeared on the home page of the Tianya Forum. In November 2009, it was published and published as a book titled "Dear, I Got It". The first printing of 15,000 copies was sold out in less than 20 days, and it was sold out within a month. Reprinted later. In September 2010, the sequel to the book, "Daddy, Mommy, I'm Coming" was published and the sales are still booming. Now Chen Long has 32 fan groups, and nearly 6,000 fans of his comics call themselves "Xiao Long Bao". In Chen Long's words, all of this seemed to happen "overnight". Friends in the industry said that he "came out" with a "bang"! Before that, he had almost given up on his ideal of being a professional cartoonist.

Standard "otaku" life

Friends who know Chen Long call him Xiaolong. Like most professional cartoonists, Xiaolong lives a "homely" life. He gets up at three o'clock in the morning and "creates" in the middle of the night. When he returned home after graduating from college, he never went out to find a job. "I don't know what else I can do besides drawing comics?" Xiaolong loved comics since he was a child. He would spend all his pocket money to buy "Dragon Ball", "Doraemon", and "Saint Seiya" and would take out a transparent white book when he got home. The paper is spread on top and the faces are copied. There is no "apprenticeship" to "learn skills from a teacher". I started "original" comics when I was in the first year of high school, and all the techniques were "study" at home. Compared with "having fun" in the real world, Xiaolongfa's "walking" in the comic world is more powerful. The first comic image he created was a "superhero" with muscles like a boxer and energy like a Super Saiyan. , he imagines himself as "him."

After graduating from college, Xiaolong was determined to become a professional cartoonist, but in the next four or five years, this dream was almost "defeated." Because he was exposed to a lot of Japanese comics, Xiaolong's initial comic works tended to be decadent and aesthetic Japanese androgynous style. The competition for such works in the domestic comics circle at that time was fierce. If he wanted to "make a blockbuster success", the only way was I submit an article to a professional magazine, hoping that the odds will be as good as winning a 5 million yuan grand prize. "At that time, I was so stressed that I didn't dare to go out." Xiaolong said that during that time, he went out to buy snacks, but found that he didn't have enough money in his pocket and was too embarrassed to ask his parents for them. A young man of several years old who stays at home all day instead of looking for a job to earn money looks like a "waste" in the eyes of others. Later, when he got a wife, Xiaolong was still unable to make ends meet. In the past few years, he relied on his wife to open a shop to support the family. Fortunately, his family "supported" him and believed that he would succeed one day. Xiaolong almost gave up but "silly" comforted himself. He painted at home every day: one day he would become a "superhero", one day "Get ahead"

Sunshine "cool" brother

Most "otakus" are taciturn, introverted or sullen, especially cartoonists who stay at home all day and engage in "creation". ? Unexpectedly, Xiaolong turned out to be a super "sunny" person who was good at talking. He has curly hair, fashionable clothes, and two thick eyebrows "raised" upward. When he is not talking, at first glance, he seems to have a vaguely cool "murderous aura", but when talking and laughing, he suddenly becomes a man who can "grow his lips". to the back of the head” the big brother next door. Both parents are cheerful people, and Xiaolong has been an "optimist" since he was a child. The first time his work was published in a magazine, he took the magazine and told everyone "I drew this"; in the college drawing class, the teacher did not allow everyone to draw cartoons, but he forced himself to draw serious plaster statues. He became a Q-version cartoon with a big head and short hands; on the wedding day, he made an animation of his and his wife’s love story and played it live, which moved his wife to tears. Perhaps it is because of this passion for life that God loves this person in his heart. A child with "love".

Since 2006, Xiaolong has changed his "style" and tried to create hilarious and heartwarming picture books and comics. In 2008, when his wife was pregnant, Xiaolong "on a whim" drew a "caricature" of the real life of himself and his wife, a post-80s couple creating the "next generation": Q version of the image, humorous language, funny complex , warm writing style, and practical and considerate pregnancy guide. One year later, this work became an Internet hit. Xiaolong said with a smile that it was really sad to think about it now. At that time, he just felt that the road of being a cartoonist had reached the "end". A man must shoulder the "responsibility" of the family. After drawing this last work, he should keep it as a souvenir and be ready to go. When he was looking for a job, he never thought that this "resurrection" scene would happen.

Xiaolongbao fans say they like Xiaolong’s comics because his stories are both real and funny, and can bring people the power to live a positive life when they are pessimistic. Xiaolong said that he was obsessed with comic creation at first, focusing too much on skills and blindly pursuing how to draw "more advanced". Now he has truly found a style that suits him. He doesn't have to go to great lengths to make up characters and plots, just pay attention to them. Observe life with a little "creation". Rather than creating, it is better to say that Xiaolong is recording his "life". "I'm just a 'dad' who can draw comics. I benefit from my own life. I'm glad that readers can also see 'myself' in my life and have fun. This is the greatest value."
