Multi-map!Jiang Yunxing Jin Yong martial arts illustration reward: Yun Xing is vast, and the name is abandoned

■ Many readers, the martial arts festivals have long forgotten, but they only remember the illustrations in it. When I meet by chance many years later, they will recall the ignorant teenage feelings.

■ At that time, the illustrations of Yun Jun (Jiang Yunxing) were valued by the industry. Almost all the works of Jin Yong and Liang Yusheng had an illustration, but as a painter, Yun Jun did not leave any reputation in the painting world.

■ Yun Jun's paintings are mostly delicate and vivid. He has absorbed the shadow painting method in Western drawing sketches. It is combined with the white traction techniques of Chinese painting.

■ Unfortunately, Yun Jun himself does not seem to value his painting skills very much. He is like a craftsman of the old era, and he has never regarded this as a promotion capital that is well -known.

Yun Jun is a pen name for Hong Kong painter Jiang Yunxing. In the 1950s and 1960s, he created a very considerable number of illustrations. At that time, some newspapers in Hong Kong, such as the Grand Press, "Ming Pao", had applied to him. Every day, he draws illustrations for several newspapers. It can be seen that Yun Jun's illustrations were valued by the industry at that time. But as a painter, the name of Yun Jun did not leave any reputation in the painting world, so that on the Internet of today's massive information, he couldn't find an introduction about his Niu Ping, which could not help but feel surprised.

The reason why such a special situation is formed is that Yun Jun's painting is not the mainstream Chinese painting theme, but mostly illustrated by some martial arts novels. In addition, the personal style of painting is also very mature and unique, but because of the limitation of subject matter, it has never been truly affirmed by his works. This is a pity.

In the scattered information, on June 26, 1968, "Ming Pao" published a dozen serial novels. Among them, Yun Jun drew a painting for Jin Yong, Gu Long, and Ni Kuang. You know, these novels are continuously and with illustrations every day. The total amount of painting in one year is already a staggering number, not to mention, many novels have to be serialized for several years to complete. Yun Jun is not just for a novel and a newspaper illustration, but also illustrate several newspapers and magazines and several novels at the same time. Some novels have been revised and serialized after the first serialization, so after the first serialization of the first serialization, Yun Jun must be newly drawn on the revised serialization. For example, Jin Yong's "Heroes of the Eagle" was first published in the Hong Kong Business Daily. From January 1, 1957 to May 19, 1959, a total of 862, that is, Yun Jun wrote 862 for this book 862 Zhang painting, coupled with the later "Ming Daily Evening News" starting from October 6, 1972, the serialized revised version to the end of August 14, 1973, with a total of 313 pictures. The addition of the two has reached 1185 pieces. In the early stage, the illustration of the painting with the painting was published, and when Jin Yong revised the edition of the 岀 version of the work, Yun Jun asked Yun Jun's new picture for each redevelopment. It can be seen that a book of Yunjun alone draws four drafts, not to mention that Jin Yong and Liang Yusheng have almost all the works of Yun Jun, and other martial arts authors. Can't count. This shows how amazing the number of Yunjun illustrations has reached.

For novel illustrations, it seems that the scene described in the book can be expressed in the way of drawing in the book. If you fall into it, you will know that this is by no means easy. Painting is an artistic creation. In addition to experience and skills, it depends on the author's image thinking. Although the content described in the text is straightforward, the layout of the picture, the arrangement of the scene, the clothes of the characters, the expression expression, and any one Details must be repeatedly set by the artist to form a rich beauty of the picture. What's more, so many illustration tasks will feel a heavy pressure on any author. Yun Jun is lighter and ease, no matter what kind of subject matter, he is casually, and he is handy.

Without deep artistic skills, aesthetic vision and personal cultivation, it is impossible to understand the creative intention of each novel in this way, and it is impossible Thoughtful. Therefore, compared to the creation of novels, illustrations are actually artistic re -processing based on the former, which is another new creation.

Unfortunately, although this creation has the color of the artist's subjective consciousness, it must be limited by the material itself, and it can only be circulated with the spread of the novel. If it is out of the corresponding plot atmosphere, it will make readers see it unknown. As a result, this has led to the sadness of Yun Jun. Although he created so many illustrations, most of them died with the object of the dependent of the martial arts novels. This is exactly what Yun Jun was gradually forgotten. One of the important reasons. Only in some of the widespread martial arts boutiques such as Jin Yong and Liang Yusheng, can we see a scales and half claws left by Yunjun's illustration.

Many readers, after watching several martial arts masterpieces of Jin Yong, have long forgotten the plot, but they only remember the illustrations in it. I met accidentally after many years. As the characters in the painting are all chic and unruly, the characters are righteous and smile. Therefore, Yun Jun's illustration has become an old dream that is difficult to give up in each martial arts fans, and a memories of affection for the past years. Therefore, after more than half a century, someone still couldn't forget and spared no effort to collect Yunjun illustrations.

The reason why Yun Jun's illustration still has so many fans more than half a century later. In addition to martial arts's nostalgic plot, it is more attracted by his unique style of painting. It is said that it is unique because Yun Jun's illustrations have no place to others. Most of his paintings are delicate, vivid, and vivid, and the elegant and smooth lines outline the two -color picture of sparsely dense and dense and dense. It seems that there is nothing with the traditional Chinese tracing techniques, but in fact, it has changed. Bai Shao is the core of Chinese painting and the key to the Chinese painting method. In the process of spreading for thousands of years, the ancients summarized the "Cao Yi out of the water", "high ancient tract", "nail head tail traction", "heart walking clouds flowing water Each of the eighteen line drawing techniques has been tested by thousands of refined inspections. It can be said that, just like the famous sword moves in martial arts novels, they are the most representative and most sophisticated tricks after a generation of generations. If you want to change a little change, it will be difficult to add. However, Yun Jun's drawing line, like Linghu Chong Dugu Jiujian, has no moves and tricks, and never stick to what kind of tricks to use, but instead ingenious and new ideas. His white trail line, I called "chasing light and shadow", the details are like the clouds and clouds, the light and shadow are clear, but the thick parts shade and hide the shadow, and the black is not transparent. Line, it seems that the three -dimensional projection effect has formed due to the changes in light light and dark. This drawing method is his stunt. He absorbed the shadow painting method in Western drawing sketches, which is combined with the white drawing techniques of Chinese painting, which is very distinctive. In literary works, writers can tell the start and passage of the entire story in detail, and can calmly describe the emotions and personality of the characters. Therefore, they can spend a lot of fun and delicately to shape the soul characters with flesh and blood. However, this is not the case. It can only capture a typical scene that occurs at a certain moment through extremely streamlined pen and ink, just like the photography fixes, and it is difficult to make more prompts outside the screen. It can only reveal the inner activities through the characteristics of the characters, body language, and expression dynamics. This painter was successful. To measure Yun Jun's illustration, you will find that the characters in his writing are absolutely true and sensey. Whether the righteous warrior's atmosphere or the violence of the villain, whether the aunt shoots a fairy -like beautiful girl, or Liezi Yuki The wind -like high -like people are very delicate with a few strokes. Jin Yong also praised this: "Jiang Yunxing's illustration style, prefers the brush drawing in the brushwork, likes to focus on the upper part of the pattern in the composition, and choose the fighting scene of the open area of ​​the mountain or the village. , Even if it is thrown into the air. Jiang Yunxing's character either unruly, or madness, or respectful, different, the painted women are usually dazzling, long hair like clouds, and a slightly tip on the sideways. The face is sad and happy. The character's expression and clothing are complete, with wrinkles, flowers, birds and mountains and stones.

Yun Jun used neat and smooth lines to deeply and carefully depict the scene described by martial arts novels, creating a real and illusory world for readers. , Virtual writing, overlooking, looking up, pushing, surrounding ... from different selection to capture the expression of the characters appearing in the picture, from the most novel perspective to capture the most vivid moment, presented to the audience. Although sometimes, the "actor" that appears in the picture is slightly similar, as if the protagonists of several different dramas are played by the same star, which makes people feel that "the line is unchanged", but it will be immersed in the plot. The superb acting skills were convinced, and finally applauded and applauded warmly. Looking at Yunjun's illustration, it is like watching a martial arts drama. The audience who knows it will never care about the actors who have met on the stage. Instead, they will pay more attention to his performances and feel and appreciate in all directions and angles. As a result, follow the protagonist, the wind is thunderous, Ling Bo swept the shadow, exposed the heavens, and involved the strange realm ... Although he painted a trick, although it did not conform to the real tactical way, it was more visual. As Jin Yong said, the characters of Jun painted are full of movement, or the wilderness fights, or the high throwing space, most of them flying, like a fairy. He is like an excellent martial arts director. According to the character's martial arts characteristics, he designed martial arts actions, either a hero, or feminine and secrets. The pair of catching one, or the campaign of hundreds of thousands of people, are full of mood, unpredictable, and the more large characters and big battles, the more clearly handled him, the fascinating, making people unable to make people unable to make people unsure Don't admire his overall control ability.

The world of martial arts was originally coexisting with illusions, ideals and dreams. What people want to see are not bloody and violent scenes, but novelty and beautiful pictures. Yun Jun's magnificent and magical artistic imagination and hearty martial arts effect have won people's high recognition. Because Yun Jun's illustration has such charm, almost all the works of Jin Yong have repeatedly instructed Yun Jun to illustrate it, and when the collection of his works is prepared to publish, he also deliberately hired him to re -call for his own calligraphy and painting. Illustration has become an indispensable classic in martial arts illustrations.

Unfortunately, Yun Jun himself does not seem to value his painting skills very much. He is like a craftsman of the old age. He only seriously does his own work according to the customer's requirements every day. It is enough to promote the capital capital. Therefore, he never thought of creating a collection of original paintings that belong to himself. His paintings are also thrown with the painting. What is even more regrettable is that when his painting skills have reached the pure fire, Yun Jun moved to overseas. From then on, Yun Xiu was vast, there was no trace of the sky, and there was no news back. This is the key to Yun Jun's gradually forgotten. If a painter does not instinctively reflect the artistic level, at the same time, he suddenly retreats when he is about to set foot on the peak. channel. Just like the heroes described in martial arts novels, after thousands of risks, when they are in full swing, they suddenly have a sudden endless rivers and lakes. If they do not appear, they will inevitably become fame and unknown. Text/Zhang Huazuo
