trainee reporter Wang Chieh
< br / > eating map author Li Ying On Sunday, a netizen named "45 view dragon" has published a "hand-painted Ji'nan feature cartoons food map" post on the Qilu Evening News Network "the green has not been the community" forum, which reproduced a number of food recommendation comics. The life of the picture is lovely and the netizen is deeply impressed. Then the reporter contacted the creator of the food map, and she talked with interest about the deep fetters of the map.
out of the small circle, drawing cartoons, sending Acacia
the creator of the food map is Li Ying, a small celebrity in Ji'nan animation circle. When it comes to the original intention of eating maps, Li Ying is rather shy: "because I love to eat, and in the animation industry, I want to draw what I feel good." "She used to be in her own small circle, and now she wants to come out and do something meaningful," she laughs.
said it was done. Li Ying began to create this idea since he had this idea in June. Then she has already published a series of comic food introduction to the WeChat public platform and micro-blog, the "Ji'nan food" username. The image of big food in cartoons is based on myself, and other images are also friends around me. More importantly, the food I introduced in the comics was eaten by myself.
from the works of Li Ying, we can see that these comics have her cherished cherished memories of her family, her own childhood memories, and her unique feelings about Ji'nan. "Ji'nan cool noodle", she wrote: "the reason why you put the cold noodles first, because it is the favorite of grandma, if you can go back to the last year, I hope to cook her face." "Confucius and spicy fans" introduces a hot and spicy fan that has been eating for ten years. "When painting old Ji'nan meat and young sweet, I would like to spread out some of the special snacks in old Ji'nan."
interaction with fans, thank fans for supporting
WeChat from Ji'nan to see goods, she already has a group of loyal little fans. "Many loyal small fans have recommended them according to my recommendation." According to her, among the fans, there was a cell. "He read in Ji'nan, and he liked to ride. He told me that the hole in the hot and spicy fan store was closed."
not only Li Ying recommends food for her fans. Some fans, including her clients, occasionally recommend some gourmet shops for Li Ying to taste, and then she will draw a comic book and recommend it to everyone. "Many works are accumulated slowly in such interactive feedback."
in an interview, Li Ying was particularly grateful to her fans for her support. "Many of them are my friends, and the peas's Kwok cabinet, all of whom are my precious people, they have been forwarded by WeChat to help me get more fans and pull me up."
recommended principles: health, plus good
2010 years, Li Yinggang graduated from Shandong College of Arts and Crafts, and a friend founded the bird animation design studio. Ever since then, the studio has been growing.
"originally thought that by drawing these cartoons, we could make advertisements for our company and pull some businesses." But later Li Ying discovered that business was coming, but most of them were catering companies. "A lot of catering companies want me to try them in their store, and then I'll give them a delicious meal."
but Li Ying has his own "order" principle: first of all, to eat well, and more importantly, to be healthy, clean and hygienic. "Never let fans go by my recommendation, and then come back with their tummy."
now, a lot of food shops recommended by Li Ying include food cards in Ji'nan. According to Li Ying, these cards are sponsored by friends or sponsored by stores, and they are not mass produced. "These stores can make food cards to promote their own stores, but also take care of the customers' waiting time and kill two birds with one stone."
at present, there are 21 gourmet shops recommended for Ji'nan food map. "What I'm doing now is just a small part of my overall plan. I'm going to wait for 50 food, and I'll work with the publishers, print them, send them to the fans, and visitors."
unpaid, ready to "throw cold water"
from the recent business business, Li Ying's Ji'nan eating WeChat platform update speed has not been so "diligent". "Yesterday, I sorted out my own painting, once a week, until 8 and September, two or three times a month. I find myself getting lazy and I feel embarrassed. "
, however, she also revealed that it takes a lot of time to complete a food comic book, and these are all personal hours outside her daily work. Trying to eat is just the first part of painting comic caricatures, and conception is the key. "It takes a lot of brains to think of comics as an interesting form of expression."
for the future of the development of the food map, Li Ying has already done a good plan. In her "Ji'nan draft plan", the food comics are described as "to make Ji'nan local food comic promotion precedent, thus developed as one of the tourist vane of Ji'nan." After three years of climbing and rolling, today's Li Ying is still ambitious, but he has already prepared for "throwing cold water". But when you see a lot more smooth than expected, she says, "when you really want to do something, you really have a lot of power to help you," she said. And thanks to the support of my parents and friends.
today, as usual, the veteran food monster and her little friends worked hard in her animation studio less than 20 square meters. What we can do is just give her some silent support like her little fans. Wish her company to develop more smoothly, and wish her food map can "benefit" more food.
