Chapter 233 Japanese Comic Exhibition
Life returned to normal again, like a quiet lake without a single ripple.
However, the comic strip of "Kung Fu Panda" has set off a craze all over the world and is loved by many readers.
This comic strip, full of fantasy and traditional Chinese cultural charm, is like a shining pearl, emitting a unique light in the global cultural and artistic fields.
Due to Bruce Lee's vigorous promotion of Chinese Kung Fu, Chinese Kung Fu has become extremely mysterious in Europe and the United States.
With his outstanding martial arts skills and unique personal charm, Bruce Lee has made the whole world curious and yearning for Chinese Kung Fu.
The panda's adorable appearance is a huge attraction to foreigners.
The round body, black and white fur, and adorable appearance are unforgettable at first sight.
As China's national treasure, the panda represents China's unique charm and cultural heritage.
The combination of the two is why it is loved by readers all over the world.
Jiang Weimin considered that the current foreign exchange target of 2000 million has been achieved.
After careful consideration, Jiang Weimin decided to change the release cycle of the "Kung Fu Panda" comic strip to one per year instead of releasing it all at once.
Releasing one film every year allows readers to always maintain their expectations and enthusiasm for Kung Fu Panda.
Such a decision will not only be conducive to the continued influence of the work, but also make greater contributions to China's cultural output.
Jiang Weimin hopes that the "Kung Fu Panda" comic strip will become a bright business card for Chinese culture to go global.
Afterwards, after the second volume of "Kung Fu Panda" was completed, Jiang Weimin arranged for the team responsible for drawing "Kung Fu Panda" to focus their energy on the painting creation of "Drawing Sword" first.
The work "Drawing Sword" has always been loved by the public for its magnificent war scenes, vivid and three-dimensional characters and profound historical connotations.
I will wait until "Drawing Sword" is finished before I start drawing "Flying Tiger and Condor".
"Flying Tiger Eagle" is also a long and exciting story with ups and downs in the plot, full of exciting adventures and battles.
Because the workload of "Flying Tiger and Condor" was huge, Jiang Weimin planned to take time out to draw a volume himself while painting "Drawing Sword".
In the intervals between busy work and study, Jiang Weimin would calm down and devote himself to the creation of "Flying Tiger Eagle".
That day, Jiang Weimin returned home from school as usual.
As soon as he entered the gate of Qingdao Publishing House, an administrative staff member hurriedly came up to him and respectfully handed Jiang Weimin a telegram.
"President, President Song sent you a telegram."
Jiang Weimin was slightly startled, and took the telegram with some curiosity. His eyes slowly fell on the words on the telegram, and his expression gradually became focused.
The telegram clearly stated: The Japan Asia Exchange Association invites Jiang Weimin to visit Japan to participate in the comics exhibitions to be held in Tokyo, Nagoya and Urawa (now Saitama City).
The telegram then mentioned that the details would be communicated via long-distance telephone at noon tomorrow.
Jiang Weimin looked at the contents of the telegram again and again, with a lot of thoughts in his mind.
Jiang Weimin stared at the telegram quietly for a long time, then he took a deep breath.
I increasingly feel that this trip to Japan's comic exhibition is a rare and valuable opportunity.
This is not only a platform to showcase one’s own works, but also a great opportunity to communicate and learn from the international comics community.
The next day, Jiang Weimin went to the post office and called the Qingdao Post Office.
"Boss, what's going on with this comic exhibition?"
"I just received a notice from the leaders of the China Federation of Literary and Art Circles that Japan wants you to go over to participate in a comic exhibition.
【The China Federation of Literary and Art Circles (abbreviated as China Federation of Literary and Art Circles) is a people's organization led by the Communist Party of China. 】
It is said that the Ministry of Foreign Affairs attaches great importance to this, and this is an event that can promote Sino-Japanese friendship.”
"Boss, is my master going?"
"I don't know about that. Let me find out for you!"
"No need, President, I'll send a telegram to my master myself!"
"Wei Min, is it easy to ask for leave from your school?"
"It's definitely okay to ask for leave! When exactly will the comic exhibition be held, President?"
"The notice said it was May 1980, 5."
"Okay, President, I understand. Please help me prepare some more foreign exchange!"
When I go to Japan, I have to bring some gifts for my family, but I can't do that without foreign currency!
After hanging up the phone, Jiang Weiminhuai sent a telegram to his master Gu Bingxin, earnestly asking Gu Bingxin whether he would like to go to Japan with him to participate in this significant comic exhibition.
Jiang Weimin is looking forward to a reply from his master Gu Bingxin, and hopes to exhibit with his master at comic exhibitions abroad.
Afterwards, Jiang Weimin rushed to the school to ask for leave.
When the school leaders learned that Jiang Weimin was going to Japan to attend an important event.
Without any obstruction, Jiang Weimin was granted leave immediately and readily.
Not long after, Jiang Weimin received a telegram from his master Gu Bingxin.
It turned out that Gu Bingxin also received a notice from the leaders of the China Federation of Literary and Art Circles.
However, due to the resumption of the college entrance examination and university classes, Gu Bingxin was now serving as the director and professor of the Chinese Painting Department of the Academy of Fine Arts of Shanghai University.
I have so many things to do that I really can't get away.
But when he learned that his apprentice was also going to Japan to attend a comic exhibition, Gu Bingxin fell into deep thought.
Gu Bingxin thought about his apprentice's efforts and growth in the field of comics, and the importance of this event for Chinese comics to go global, so he thought about it and agreed to the leadership of the China Federation of Literary and Art Circles.
Gu Bingxin decided to put aside some of the things he was doing and go to Japan with Jiang Weimin to attend a comic exhibition.
When Jiang Weimin learned that Gu Bingxin would also participate in the comic exhibition, he was filled with joy and excitement.
Jiang Weimin seemed to see the master and apprentice shining together at a Japanese comics exhibition.
However, despite his joy, Jiang Weimin was also deeply worried about his master, who was in his 50s, taking the train from Shanghai to Beijing.
He was worried that the Master would be exhausted during the long journey and whether his body could withstand such a long journey.
Gu Bingxin first came to Beijing from Shanghai. The Beijing railway station was bustling with people coming and going.
Jiang Weimin had been waiting at the exit of the train station for a long time.
Jiang Weimin kept looking around, his eyes full of anticipation. Jiang Weimin was dressed neatly, with an upright posture and an excited look on his face.
As his current work is extremely busy and he has to balance his studies, Jiang Weimin hasn't seen Gu Bingxin for a long time.
During this period, although they could not see each other often, they still kept in touch through letters.
Each letter carries their love and pursuit of art and conveys the deep friendship between master and apprentice.
Gu Bingxin is quite satisfied with his apprentice Jiang Weimin.
Jiang Weimin not only created a new comic strip drawing method, but also injected new vitality and creativity into comic strip art.
It also successfully promoted comic strips to the world, allowing more people to appreciate the charm of Chinese comic strips.
Moreover, Jiang Weimin became a college student through his own efforts and constantly improved his cultural and artistic accomplishments.
Whenever Gu Bingxin thought of this, his heart was filled with pride and satisfaction.
"Master, you have worked so hard. I miss you so much after not seeing you for so long!"
The moment Jiang Weimin saw Gu Bingxin, his eyes sparkled with excitement. He walked up quickly and greeted his master respectfully.
Gu Bingxin looked at Jiang Weimin with a look of satisfaction on his face, "You are growing very fast now, I am very happy."
"It's all taught well by Master!"
Gu Bingxin waved his hand and said with a smile: "Okay, stop flattering me. I just taught you the technique of painting.
But what really allows you to go further is your talent and hard work.
You have a persistent pursuit of art and a keen insight, which is the key to your success."
Jiang Weimin felt a little embarrassed by what his master said. He scratched his head and said, "Master, I feel embarrassed by what you said.
Come on, I'll take you to the hotel to rest for a day. You must be tired after traveling all the way. After you have rested, we can discuss visiting the leaders of the Federation of Literary and Art Circles together. "
As he spoke, Jiang Weimin took the luggage from his master's hand and led his master to the hotel.
