Gao Yong

Gao Yong, who has been engaged in cartoon creation for nearly 15 years, is the backbone of Taiwan's young generation of cartoonists. Its comic style originated from Japan and is of its own style. The representative works are "the change of Brahma" and "the constellations". Recently, more than 50 characters in "biography of heroes of Sui and Tang Dynasties", which is popular in mainland China, are also written by him. When the reporter came to Gao Yong's studio in Zhonghe City, Taipei County, he saw all kinds of comics on the bookshelves.

Features of works

Creating girls' comics is like men learning embroidery

Gao Yong's comic style is magnificent and gorgeous, and he is known as the "master of beauty and shape" of Taiwan comic. He joked that he was "like a man learning embroidery." He said, "when I entered the comics industry, there were only girls' comics magazines in Taiwan. They asked their works to cater to girls' preferences, such as drawing handsome men, bright hair, pearls and flowers, and using atmosphere outlets. I spent a long time trying to figure it out." however, because girls support their favorite cartoonists for a longer time than boys, they have become a large consumer group of comic books. Therefore, compared with young men's comics, girls' comics have a higher "survival rate" in Taiwan. Most young men's comic writers switch to the game industry or even give up comics, while Gao Yongze has come down all the way with good results.

Comics need Chinese culture to go out

the comic market on both sides of the Taiwan Strait has been flooded with Japanese comic books for a long time. With the development of Japanese comic industry, it is hard for cartoonists on both sides of the Strait to match. However, Japanese publishers took the initiative to find Gao Yong to buy the copyright of "Brahma change", and published it in Japan and won the recognition of readers. So far, there is no second Chinese cartoonist. "The change of Brahma is about the war of the southern and Northern Dynasties in China. It's a part of Chinese culture, which can't be drawn by others." Gao Yong said that cultural effect is more important than profit in promoting creative industries. Chinese culture cannot disappear from the world cultural map. Its aesthetic value should be promoted to the world through creative products. Gao Yong said that the direction of the development of creative industries on both sides of the Taiwan Strait is not only to learn from the advantages of others, but also to cultivate the ability of independent thinking, and to find ways to integrate our excellent culture into our works and promote them is the real success. If young people want to engage in this industry, they should be clear that they represent Chinese culture and compete with other cultures. They have no deep understanding and unique views of our cultural heritage. What they create only stays in a single imitation, and there is no way out.

Cross strait cartoon industry faces common problems

Gao Yong believes that the development of Japanese comic industry has something to do with the core team creation system. Now the common problem faced by the cartoon industry on both sides of the Strait is the lack of a reasonable creation system, which makes it difficult for cartoonists to break through the bottleneck of their own creation. He pointed out that pure drawing skills are not difficult, and the core of plot comics lies in the excellent writing skills and continuous inheritance. This is exactly what is lacking in the field of cross-strait comic creation. Comic creators should humbly accept criticism and listen to the opinions of all parties in order to constantly break through and gain competitive strength on the international stage. when it comes to the large investment and booming development of the animation industry in mainland China, Gao Yong pointed out that money should be used on the edge of the sword. If you find the right direction at the beginning, it will blossom and bear fruit in the future. In this direction, comics will be animated and game oriented, and a professional team will be formed to design scripts before writing. Do not build castles in the air. in August last year, Gao Yong took over the post of chairman of Taiwan's "Taipei caricature practitioners' Professional Union" and is committed to striving for more development space for Taiwan's caricaturists and caricature lovers. He said that how to improve the cartoon creation system is his urgent work. As for the significance of the existence of comics, Gao Yong said that comics are entertainment, and entertainment is human nature. It is the responsibility of comic workers to let readers get the feeling of life from comic works, see the sunshine, be inspired, and be more active in life.
