Features of the works
Creating girls’ comics is like a man learning embroidery
Gao Yong's comic style is bizarre and gorgeous, and he is known as the "leader of beauty" in Taiwanese comics. He joked that he was "like a man learning embroidery." He said, "When I entered the comics industry, there were only comics magazines for girls in Taiwan. The editors required the works to cater to the preferences of girls, draw handsome boys, shiny hair, and pearls. , flowers, and using atmosphere outlets, it took me a long time to figure out and learn.”
However, because girls support their favorite cartoonists longer than boys, they have become a large consumer group of comic publications. Therefore, in Taiwan, girls' comics have a higher "survival rate" compared to boys' comics. Most of the boys' comics authors have switched to the game industry or even given up on comics. However, Gao Yong has continued along the way and has achieved good results.
Cartoons must have Chinese cultural heritage before they can go abroad
The comics market on both sides of the Taiwan Strait has long been flooded with Japanese comics. The Japanese comics industry is so developed that cartoonists on both sides of the Taiwan Strait can hardly match it. However, a Japanese publisher took the initiative to find Gao Yong to buy the copyright of "The Transformation of Brahma", publish it in Japan and gain recognition from readers. So far, there is no second example among Chinese cartoonists. "The Transformation of Brahma talks about the wars between the Northern and Southern Dynasties in China. This is a part of Chinese culture that others cannot draw." Gao Yong said that when promoting creative industries, cultural effects are more important than profits. Chinese culture cannot disappear from the world cultural map, and its aesthetic value must be promoted to the world through creative products.
Gao Yong said that the direction of the development of the creative industries on both sides of the Taiwan Strait should not only be to learn from the strengths of others, but also to cultivate the ability to think independently and find ways to integrate our excellent culture into works and promote them to achieve real success. . If young people want to work in this industry, they must understand that they represent Chinese culture and compete with other cultures on the same stage. Without a deep understanding and unique perspective on our cultural heritage, there is no way out if the things they create are just imitations. of.
The comics industry on both sides of the Taiwan Strait faces common problems
Gao Yong believes that the reason why the Japanese comics industry is so developed is closely related to its team creation system with editors as the core. The common problem faced by the comics industry on both sides of the Taiwan Strait now is the lack of a reasonable creative system. It is difficult for cartoonists to break through their own creative bottlenecks working alone. He pointed out that pure painting skills are not difficult. The core of plot comics lies in excellent screenwriting skills and dense connections. This is precisely what is most lacking in the field of comic creation on both sides of the Taiwan Strait. Comic creators must humbly accept criticism and listen to opinions from all sides so that they can continue to make breakthroughs and gain the strength to compete on the international stage.
Talking about the large investment and booming development of the animation industry in mainland China, Gao Yong pointed out that money should be spent wisely, and if you find the right direction at the beginning, it will bear fruit in the future. This direction is to develop comics into animation and games, and to form a professional team to design the script before writing, and never build castles in the air.
Last August, Gao Yong took over the position of chairman of Taiwan's "Taipei Cartoon Workers Professional Union" and is committed to striving for more development space for Taiwan's cartoonists and comic lovers. He said that how to improve the comic creation system is his urgent task at present.
As for the significance of comics, Gao Yong said that comics are entertainment, and entertainment is human nature. It is the responsibility of comics workers to let readers gain insights into life from comic works, see the sunshine, be inspired, and face life more positively.
