all one's life

1993- 1997 studied Chinese painting at Hubei Academy of Fine Arts, 1997 taught at Wuhan University. CG illustrators are mostly represented by China ink paintings, which are free and freehand, and their works are cold and beautiful. They are known as masters of ink CG among domestic cartoonists. Up to now, he has created more than ten animation works, such as Wandering Bagpiper, Young Knife Lover of Butterfly, Bai Lianhua Silent, Fighting Chu, Red Leopard, Ballad of Chile, Memories of Summer, Children's Roll, Memories in Water, City of the New Century and Desert.

1997 Some works were selected for the first East Asian Comic Conference and exhibited in Japan. Embroidery of the Red Leopard and Lyle Ballad won two excellent prizes for original comic works in Wenchuan Cup, and were invited to create a character draft for CCTV's large-scale comic Nezha. At the same time, Weng Ziyang also published books on creative theories and techniques such as role setting and expression. The independent compilation of Animation Creation-Desk Collection will be published in the near future. In 2003, he became the animation director of Hubei Dolphin Animation Co., Ltd., responsible for the comprehensive development of the 30-episode masterpiece "The New Three Kingdoms" of a large-scale comic project. In August 2004, in cooperation with You Man Culture, Moonlight was released. Phantom of the Opera-Weng Ziyang copied the original painting.

Weng Ziyang's long-term artistic creation stems from his obsession and constant exploration of ancient China culture, especially through the pen and ink of traditional Chinese painting, expressing courage and vitality, simplicity, dignity and life. Most of his works are about people and history, such as Chu culture, Spring and Autumn Period, fantasy and so on. After discovering the similarity between digital art and Chinese painting, he turned to the exploration of digital art on the platform of CG painting, improved the original design and painting by using CG new technology, and organically integrated the newly developed technology with traditional painting.

"10 10 people" —— Ten years on paper in Weng Ziyang

It is difficult to write a summary. I have been teaching for almost ten years. Year after year, time flies. Today, I pushed open the door and entered the studio. Suddenly I found that the Metasequoias outside the window were all red, and the year was almost over. ...

Since the year before last, I have gradually understood what I want to do. Many things are good, but it seems that you can only do what you want to do. When I found that I didn't have enough roles to do well, I felt that time was getting more and more urgent. Because I have started several times, I can't feel at ease, but I feel depressed, for fear of delaying what I have decided to finish.

In retrospect, the Odyssey has been painted for eight years. I face Musashi on paper every day, and Inoue becomes Musashi. What role should I find to face? It's a problem-beautiful women like it, but it's not good to regard painting beautiful women as a lifelong career, and chivalrous men and women are not what I want to paint, hehe.

Some time ago, I was asked to draw short cartoons of the Three Kingdoms, but I found that the Three Kingdoms is really a strange melting pot, which can really make people put everything down and be moved by it. However, the biggest discovery is to give up skills. You must give up your skills to draw well.

I suddenly found that comics are actually a person telling his own story seriously, as long as the story is clear. I have always thought that people like pictures, the pictures themselves. That's it. Wrong for a long time.

But drawing on paper is really fun-holding a pen is painful and happy!

Weng Ziyang, a man with a poetic name. 1993- 1997 studied Chinese painting in Hubei Academy of Fine Arts, 1997 taught at Wuhan University. So far, he has ten years of creative experience. Most of his CG illustrations are represented by China ink painting, with a cold and sad style, and he is known as the master of ink CG among domestic cartoonists. His paintings include Wu Gou, Meiren and Heshibi in the Spring and Autumn Period, the unification of the Tunshan River in the Qin and Han Dynasties, and the prosperous country in the Tang, Song and Five Dynasties. So some people say that he is the most dazzling illustrator in China after Benjamin, even surpassing the former. At the same time, he is also a burly handsome guy with long hair and calls himself a "classical man with a perm". Asked if he was classical, he replied: no, I just cut my braid for two years, and it's not so handsome.

"I like painting. Before taking the master's degree, I didn't draw for a while. A close friend got drunk and said to me, why don't you draw? You can keep drawing. That day, I remembered what I said when I was young, saying that I would paint all my life. Creation is my happiest thing, everything is beautiful, always in the sunshine of Provence. "

What Weng Ziyang is doing at hand is the finishing work of the comic "Song of Eternal Sorrow". He read the book ten years ago. Weng's grandfather used to be the president of Tongji University in Shanghai, and he had a unique heart for the worldly wisdom of old Shanghai. As he described the heroine Wang Qiyao: "Every small place won, but the whole life lost." As for Mr. Cheng, he just "fell in love with the photo".

First, the drama "Song of Eternal Sorrow" was staged, then the film "Song of Eternal Sorrow" directed by Guan, and then the TV series "Song of Eternal Sorrow" started shooting. This old work of Wang Anyi is on fire again. When the publisher was going to publish the comic book Song of Everlasting Sorrow, they searched all over Shanghai, but they couldn't find a suitable candidate until they thought of Weng Ziyang in Wuhan.

"Draw a cartoon that can still be read in ten or twenty years." This is Weng Ziyang's goal. He usually makes a black-and-white manuscript with a very thin pen, and then processes it into a color manuscript with photoshop. When conceiving the character modeling of Song of Eternal Sorrow, he decided to give priority to realism, supplemented by color rendering in ink painting style. At the beginning of his creation, he once said that the most difficult thing to capture is the eyes of women of different ages. "At the age of twenty; At the age of thirty, I can see through you at once, and then slowly look back; Forty years old, let me think again ... "Now facing the same problem, he just said that the problem has been solved, and you can just look at the painting.

Weng Ziyang is very busy. In addition to Song of Eternal Sorrow, he also has a light teaching task, teaching comics, game making, basic art and other courses. With the animation industry in the ascendant, the school also intends to set up undergraduate or even master's degree awarding points for related majors. Therefore, although he claims to hang online, he really met online and threw him a good question. His answer is usually only one or two words. After several times, the cartoonist seems uneasy again, and sends you an illustrated document package with his works and detailed personal questionnaire.

Among them, I saw two paragraphs like this: "I like painting. I didn't draw a paragraph before I took the master's degree. " A close friend got drunk and said to me, why don't you draw? You can keep drawing. That day, I remembered what I said when I was young. I said I wanted to paint all my life. Creation is my happiest thing. Everything is beautiful, and I will always be in the sunshine of Provence. ""If we are not destined to be Mozart, don't give up the joy of playing. "

There are many CG paintings, depicting the mythical figures such as Nu Wa, Nezha and da ji, with enchanting, gorgeous and even bizarre styles. There is also an illustration in Phantom of the Moon, in which two swordsmen stand side by side with cold eyes. I didn't hesitate to set it as a computer desktop.

Weng Ziyang once said that his paintings are drunk, so they are casual and chivalrous, which reminds people of Jing Ke, and the white clothes are fluttering, and the brave men by Yishui are gone forever. Perhaps there are Li Bai's Into the Wine and Chivalry, as well as all chivalrous novelists through the ages such as Gu Long, Jin Yong, Wen Ruian, Liang Yusheng and Lord Zhu Huan. Asked whether he likes Gu Long or Jin Yong, or even which martial arts figure, he replied in a big and general way: "Anyone who can drink is good." The implication is that he is also a drinker. Asked how much he could drink, he casually replied: nothing, white wine is a kilo faster. This is great for me who can only drink a little beer. He immediately asked, you won't write this, will you? Now that I am old, I can't drink too much. We just had a physical examination.

Ask him what his hobbies are. Just say there is no time. "Oh, I like playing ball." I always thought he should play basketball. Who expected that he would say: badminton. I was surprised for a moment.

Such a cool teacher should be very popular with students. "just so-so." Weng Ziyang said that he left after class and didn't have much time with the students. "But my class is noisy and crazy." I can't figure out what this noisy crazy state is, but it's true that his public elective course "History of Western Art" has a high full house rate in Wuhan University. When his business trip is postponed, several classes attend together, and the students at the bottom often complain.

Weng Ziyang answered the question bluntly. At first, he was embarrassed. After several round trips, he realized that this was called frankness. For example, he painted so many ancient times, and asked him if he was consciously in tune with the ancient people in his mind. He threw a sentence: Zhang Jizhong hasn't been to ancient times, so why not make sculptures?

CG can coexist with oil painting and Chinese painting.

How did he learn Chinese painting to draw cartoons? It is estimated that many people have asked Weng Ziyang the same question. I doubt that my question has been despised by him again. However, a few days later, he still talked about this problem very seriously. "My feeling about oil painting and Chinese painting is that the former is very heavy, while the latter has deep roots in China. At that time, I thought there must be a new painting to combine them. When CG came out, I thought it was a good carrier, getting rid of the dependence on white paper and becoming more popular. In fact, it is difficult for ordinary people to get in touch with oil paintings. Think about how many times you have seen oil paintings and Chinese paintings a year. However, CG comics can be encountered in magazines, books and film and television works on many occasions. I think CG can stand side by side with oil painting and Chinese painting in the future. "

Weng Ziyang painted many pure and beautiful covers for comic magazines. On the forum, many fans were fascinated by it. Weng Ziyang is very aware of this, and market requirements and self-requirements are clearly separated. He even called these cover illustrations meaningless. "I will stop in the second half of the year." Compared with effortless illustration, Weng Ziyang put more effort into the modeling design of game characters. One of his most proud game designs is the "Mo Xiang" in Korea.

Here is a list of his favorite figures: musicians from Mozart and Bach to Kitaro who wrote the Silk Road, writers including Yukio Mishima, painters including Japanese ukiyo-e painter Koike Baihui, symbolic painter Klimt, and great Russian farmer painter Lie Bin. From Lin Huaimin, who founded Taiwan Province's "Yunmen Dance Collection", to China's traditional inscriptions, Peking Opera and Kunqu Opera, he also collected them. His favorite creative themes also extended from the Spring and Autumn Period and Warring States Period, Qin and Han Dynasties, Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms to distant Rome, Egypt and Kamakura shogunate. Besides music, dance, Kunqu opera, prose and travel, it is said that even sleeping is helpful.

After dealing with computers for a long time, he also has plans to return. "I want to paint on picture frames and rice paper more and more, but I don't have time. In the second half of the year, I will make a small sculpture, or more accurately, a toy of China ink painting. Just playing, not participating in commercial operations. " When it comes to more specific future creative management, he only said three words: draw slowly.
