The most convincing thing about the world is to set up contrasts.

Zhang Shaoping asked: "Painter Li, you......"

"Don't call me painter Li, you can call me Comrade Li or Mr. Li." Li Weiding was obviously not interested in the title of "painter", and even interrupted Zhang Shaoping without hesitation. Those who paint comic strips are generally called painters, painters, and "painters".

"Okay, Mr. Li." Looking at Li Weiding's serious look, Zhang Shaoping was speechless. Isn't it just a title? Is it necessary to be so serious?

Zhang Shaoping smiled and asked, "Mr. Li, which one is more popular, do you think, watch TV or comic strips? What is the prospect of the future two?"

"Why are you asking this?" Li Weiding was surprised. The Hong Kong man came to the door in a cold winter, saying that he was looking for his father, but he said that he was not. The purpose of coming was vague and there was no explanation. Now he was talking about something else.

Li Weiding was just wondering, and Zhang Shaoping was really depressed. What a good inducing questioning, why didn't the painter Li cooperate? Since the other party did not cooperate, Zhang Shaoping had to "sing a one-man show" and continued: "I believe Mr. Li must think that comic strips are more popular than TV and have a wider audience, so it should be more popular?"

"This is not the case!" Li Weiding shook his head, looking disapproving.

In terms of popularization, comic strips have the advantage of "good quality and low price" and have the upper hand. But when it comes to the wide audience, comic strips in children's reading books are not as good as TV.

"Oh, as a famous comic strip artist, didn't he think so? But I wonder what his opinion is?"

Zhang Shaoping's mouth bent slightly, and he was secretly happy. He was not afraid of you talking endlessly and having a reasonable and well-founded manner, but he was afraid that you would not be able to speak quietly and make this drama unable to continue.

"In terms of price, a TV is thousands of times more expensive than a comic strip, but comic strips are a one-time reading material, while TVs are consumer goods that have been lost for a long time. With the development of the economy, the people are becoming richer, and the popularity of TVs will not be worse than comic strips. In terms of the diversity and vivid content, TVs are even more than hundreds of streets of comic strips. In terms of innovation, the creation cycle of a set of comic strips can be at least six or seven months, while the recording of TV programs is much faster. Moreover, TV programs are a group of people working together, while comic strips are made by individuals alone and rarely created together."

I don’t know how long I have been holding these words in my heart. After Li Weiding finished speaking in one breath, his face showed a refreshing expression.

As soon as he heard this, Zhang Shaoping knew that the painter Li was a sensible person and knew a lot of things. Zhang Shaoping continued to ask: "The comics are facing so many challenges. Didn't Mr. Li think about finding a way out for the future development of comics?"

Li Weiding said angrily: "This is the environment. What can I find for myself? Not to mention individuals, even if all the comic artists join forces together, it is not helpful. It's just a mantis arm to be a chariot."

With the rapid development of film and television media, it not only enriches the entertainment life of the people, but also affects the entertainment methods of the public. Foreign comics and animations are more likely to be popular among young people. Little Man's books are no longer an indispensable entertainment method. Comics are facing severe challenges, and the market is constantly being seized by film and television media until it shrinks and disappears.

Since the 1960s and 1970s, animations such as "The Story of the Heavenly Palace", "The Tadpole Looking for Mother", "Afanti's Story", and "Three Monks" have repeatedly set new ratings, causing children to chase. The introduction of "Iron Arm Astro Boy" and the increase in foreign dramas have been a wake-up call. The decline of comic strips has begun to appear, and the creators of comic strips such as Li Weiding have a more intuitive feeling.

Zhang Shaoping said with a heartache: "Comics are from our national treasures, how can we let it fall? We should know that there is a tiger in the mountains and go to the tiger mountain. We must use the spirit of innovation to overcome difficulties and repackage our national treasures."

"I said, Mr. Zhang, don't talk about it in circles with me, just say it, what do you want to do?" Seeing Zhang Shaoping's rich "performance" and his righteous expression, Li Weiding rolled his eyes. He is not a person who has never seen the world. He knows a lot about the capitalism of Hong Kong very well, and is a guy who can't get up early without profit.

Facing Li Weiding's doubts, Zhang Shaoping was not angry at all, but smiled and said, "That's right. I have always had an idea. Since foreign comics can be organically combined with film and television media and become popular animations in the world. Why can't our comics be? Strictly speaking, comics and comics are popular reading books, and the two are still the same. Just so happened that I formed a film and television company and wanted to invite all kinds of elite figures from China to jointly develop our Chinese animation."

"So, you came to your house to invite us father and son to join your film and television company?"

"good!"

"Just this matter, you just say it, why are you going around in such a big circle?" Li Weiding said speechlessly.

"I'm afraid of saying something directly, just sweep me out."

"This is a good thing, why should I refuse?" Li Weiding asked back.

Zhang Shaoping said silly, yes, why should he object? Comic painters can provide a lot of material for animation production, and the popularity of animation can in turn drive the sales of comic strips. This is a good thing that complements each other. Anyone with some knowledge will not refuse such cooperation.

However, Li Weiding continued: "However, the comic strip painters of my father's generation are really unsure. They are more traditional and stick to the creation of paper picture books. So, if you want to ask my father and others, it will probably be a bit difficult."

"Haha, you young handsome guys have already obtained all the true teachings of Mr. Li Tianqi and others. I will be satisfied if I can invite you."

Zhang Shaoping originally wanted to hire these younger comic strip painters. He was old and had a rigid mind, but he could not innovate in new ways.

"I don't care. I'm an unknown man. He goes anywhere, but some people with more famous people may not be willing to work with you in Hong Kong."

"It's okay, if you don't go to Hong Kong, it's the same as going to Shenzhen Stock Exchange. If you don't even want to go to Shenzhen Stock Exchange, you can be a consultant. As long as you are a real talent, it's not too much to be special."

The two of them were "loved and intimate", and they decided in a few words. After getting to know each other, Zhang Shaoping took out Yang Jie's letter of introduction and said with a smile: "This letter of introduction was written by Director Yang Jie of CCTV to Mr. Li Tianqi. I originally thought I wanted to use it, but I didn't expect Mr. Li to see him, but I chatted with you. Now it seems that this letter is not needed."

"Oh, it turns out that Mr. Zhang, you know Director Yang Jie." Li Weiding said in surprise, but thinking about it, Zhang Shaoping runs a film and television company, so it's not surprising that he knows Yang Jie.

Zhang Shaoping didn't want to take out this letter of introduction before, because he didn't want to owe Yang Jie too much favors, but at this time he took it out, he had the intention of winning the trust of Li Weiding. But this was just a waste of time. People in this era were too simple, and they believed what others said before they could be confirmed. When the unemployed scammers in Hong Kong and Taiwan advanced westward, mainlanders gradually learned to "protect themselves", and even became cold-hearted.

From the conversation, Zhang Shaoping learned that the comic strip market at this time had reached its peak in history. Those who were unclear cheered and encouraged it, while those who understood knew that this was a return. Young art talents no longer valued this art form, and most famous comic strip artists also began to return to their own business, and there were probably very few people who persisted.

Regarding the dilemma of comic strips, Zhang Shaoping bluntly said: "There are many disadvantages of comic strips. First of all, they fall into a rude point in topic selection and painting techniques. The topic selection still follows decades ago, mostly classic works of ancient and modern Chinese and foreign countries and revolutionary traditional stories, but they lack attention to the present and lack originality. Secondly, comic strips are exaggerated in their characters. Through ironic techniques, they can make people laugh and entertain them. They are much stronger than the stereotyped style of comic strips. Thirdly, comic strips have deep limitations and cannot go abroad and can only be trapped in a corner. These three points alone are enough to be fatal. You are the people who are obsessed with the authorities, but you have not seen your own flaws or see them, but stick to the rules and are unwilling to change them."

Li Weiding was silent after hearing this, and after a long time, he said, "Mr. Zhang, you don't know. There are many things you know but can't do."

Zhang Shaoping thought to himself: Is there anything I don’t understand? Isn’t it just that political trends, ideology and cultural traditions are the skeletons. Most of the famous comic strips of the older generation are proletariat, and they will not turn around in terms of faith and learn from abroad. This is a huge difficulty in changing, and it is definitely not something that can be done overnight.

Putting aside the comic strips, the two have many topics in film and television. Many of the comic strips are drawn from film and television works, that is, they are drawn in the form of comic strips based on the story content of the film and television works. Li Weiding even gave advice for the art artists of film and television, which is very clear.

"Are you going to go to the theater to recruit people?" When talking about film and television, Li Weiding heard Zhang Shaoping's idea and shook his head, "It's not possible to recruit! The graduates of the theater are very popular. Almost all the corresponding units such as major theater troupes, singing and dancing troupes, TV stations, film studios, etc. are leaving. The remaining few people have basically contacted the art groups of various government agencies, and they are probably confirmed."

"No way, it's only January, and all of them are all distributed? Are college students so popular now?" Zhang Shaoping was extremely surprised.

"There are more monks and less porridge!" Li Weiding said four words concisely.

Today's college students are the real pride of heaven and are popular. However, like later generations, they are as rampant as cabbage, and they are as valuable as cabbage.

Before Zhang Shaoping left the Shanghai Stock Exchange, he contacted the Shanghai Opera school through the relationship of the municipal government and posted a recruitment notice, hoping to find a bargain.

The decoration and renovation of the Beijing store have been completed and will be opened soon.

When Zhang Shaoping returned to the capital, he called Yang Jie and told him that Liu Xiaolingtong said that he had returned to Beijing. Yang Jie came up early the next morning and said that he wanted to take him to Beijing Film Academy, Central Academy of Drama and CCTV to "be worship the top of the mountain". Aunt Yang was so enthusiastic that Zhang Shaoping had not had enough rest, so she took him away.

After a while, I met many people, but Zhang Shaoping didn't know whether he could find a vacant, but he had already had an idea to cooperate with some well-known universities in research and development. Because at this time, all Chinese universities lack research funds, but there are many talents in universities engaged in research and development. If they can establish a certain degree of joint research and development or cooperation, it will be a win-win situation for each other. As for Beijing Film Academy alone, Zhang Shaoping can throw some entertainers from wild ways here to study, and Beijing Film Academy can in turn use the fame of these people to expand its influence.

Zhang Shaoping knocked on the side and found that the Beijing Film Academy and the Central Academy of Drama were quite moved. He knew it and felt that there was something wrong with this matter.

Students' imagination and creativity are endless. As long as they are provided with an opportunity and a platform, they can create a huge miracle. In fact, the money invested in R&D is not as great as they imagined. When Lenovo was founded, Liu Chuanzhi started his business with just 70,000 yuan (with more than 200,000 yuan in possession, and was cheated of 140,000 yuan by a female liar). He knew how big the return rate was.

On that day, Zhang Shaoping received a call from Li Weiding, and he said: "Mr. Zhang, my father's strict orders are not allowed to go south to Shenzhen Stock Exchange. I'm afraid I will not be able to report in a short time. However, I have a friend who is quite willing to go with you. His name is Feng Xiaogang, and he is here..."

"What? Feng Xiaogang?" Zhang Shaoping asked in dismay.

"Yes, my friend's name is Feng Xiaogang, what's wrong?" Li Weiding on the other end of the phone felt very strange.

"It's nothing, I heard it wrong. I thought it was Feng Xiaogang, so you continue to say it." Zhang Shaoping found a very frustrated excuse to hide his incompetence.

Li Weiding did not go into it and continued: "Working in a cultural unit in the Beijing Military Region, he has an art title, and knows film and television better than me. He is going to transfer to a career this year, but the receiving unit is an urban construction unit, so he doesn't want to go there. Can you see him at that time and see if he is suitable?"

"Okay, I'll give you a clear letter."
