Today, an illustration was suddenly brushed off the screen.
In this illustration, Zhang Wenhong and Wu Jinglei are in the same frame, and the text "Allah loves Shanghai", and the word "love" is specially replaced by the author with a red heart.
The background of the popularity of this illustration is that at the Shanghai epidemic conference held this morning, Zhang Wenhong and Wu Jinglei were in the same frame for a long time, which also made the attention of this conference particularly high.
Shortly after the press conference, the illustration was quickly widely circulated on major social media, and as of press time, it is still in the process of being liked. Almost every netizen has been "cute" by this "contrasting cute" illustration. Some netizens lamented that the author seemed to be a prophet who created so quickly, which can be called a 6G network; some netizens are actively discussing the small details and Easter eggs in this illustration; and many netizens choose one-click three consecutive times, decisively collecting, so that the life that is temporarily a little dim because of the epidemic suddenly flashes out of light.
Of course, the most discussed is who the mysterious author behind this illustration is. On the afternoon of March 17, the morning news reporter found zhu Haibo, the author of this illustration, and the following is his story.
The contrast is cute with the frame, secretly burying a small Easter egg
My name is Zhu Haibo, I am a native of Shanghai, and I am currently working as a professional illustrator. Recently, like many citizens and friends, my neighborhood has also been closed and managed.
Waves of the Sea
Frankly speaking, seeing the illustrations created by Zhang Wenhong and Wu Jinglei in the same frame created by me become popular today, I feel unexpected and reasonable. Why did you want to create this illustration? I'll start with the first few days.
That day, I was going to create an illustration by Wu Jinglei. Wu Jinglei still gave me a more serious feeling, and I wanted to draw his cute side. There is a sense of contrast and cuteness.
Illustration by Wu Jinglei by Zhu Haibo
In the past two days, fewer and fewer players have entered the "final circle" in Shanghai, so everyone will pay more attention to some information on the Internet than usual. My friends told me that many people forwarded my painting of Wu Jinglei on Weibo and in the circle of friends. I myself usually rarely brush Weibo, and when I go to Weibo, I find that my illustrations are brushed on social media such as Weibo and Xiaohongshu. Many fans on the Little Red Book asked me: Can I draw an illustration of Zhang Wenhong and Wu Jinglei in the same frame?
At that time, I remembered it in my heart, but what I did not expect was that at the Shanghai epidemic conference held this morning, Zhang Wenhong and Wu Jinglei were really in the same frame, and I was very happy, and I watched the press conference carefully and carefully, observing the actions and expressions of the two people.
As soon as the conference was over, I began to think of the illustration non-stop, and it felt a little too formal to draw on the computer, so I started to create it with procreate on the iPad.
The entire creative process took more than two hours. I still want to continue the contrasting ideas of the previous one. I thought that both of them were Shanghainese, so I wrote a sentence "Allah loves Shanghai". Zhang Wenhong and Wu Jinglei jointly made a gesture of heart-to-heart, which is a scene that is difficult to see in the real world.
In this illustration, I also hide a small Easter egg — Director Wu Jinglei's suit has a small opening. Many people do not understand why they opened an opening, and some netizens laughed that Wu Jinglei's clothes were too tight? Some people understand this little Easter egg, and some people understand it immediately when they hear my explanation.
But I don't want to explain it too thoroughly, but I still want to leave a little room for everyone to think.
After painting this painting, I went to cook, and I cared too much about it. But after a while, I suddenly found that my mobile phone information exploded, and many media, even those who did not usually contact me, came to greet me. As an ordinary citizen of Shanghai, I just want to do my part.
After this illustration was swept across the internet, I also read a lot of netizens' evaluations of me. Most of them are positive energy, and everyone can basically accept that I painted their beloved Zhang Wenhong and Wu Jinglei like that.
There is a message on the Little Red Book that makes me particularly moved. The netizen said that recently because of being centralized isolation, the mood is particularly irritable, but after seeing this illustration I painted, the mood instantly 180 degrees turned, and the whole person was healed. I feel that being able to be the spiritual motivation of some people makes me feel that what I am doing has gone beyond the painting itself. Art can also express a lot of emotions.
In more than two years, Zhang Wenhong has made some changes
In fact, this is not the first time I have created a work related to the epidemic. At the beginning of the epidemic in 2020, I drew an illustration by Zhang Wenhong.
In 2020, Zhu Haibo created an illustration by Zhang Wenhong
Zhang Wenhong was born at that time, and the epidemic was also very serious at that time. He gave me the impression that he was very affinity, he was always able to break down professional barriers, tell some unfathomable things, so that ordinary people can also understand the charm of science. At the same time, he is also a "rumor crusher" that always reassures us. But jokingly, I still hope that he can show up less in the future, and if he doesn't show up, it means that the epidemic has completely improved.
When creating Zhang Wenhong's illustrations, I designed three sentences in Chinese and English. The first sentence is "and imprisoned I see you", "and imprisoned" is the Meaning of "sticking to it" in Shanghainese, everyone can only regain their freedom when they are locked together, the epidemic is over; the second sentence is "and freeze the ICU", if you do not hold back, then you may have to enter the ICU ward; as for the third sentence , "Why and lock well see you again" What it means, everyone understands it.
However, this is two years ago after all, and careful netizens have also found that the Zhang Wenhong I drew today is not the same as before. Of course, his trademark dark circles remain the same.
From them, I see the pragmatism of a city
In addition to creating Zhang Wenhong and Wu Jinglei, I have also created the most common "big white" in these two days. One is an illustration of Dabai doing nasopharyngeal nucleic acid testing for children, and I still hope to express things that everyone may not like to face in a more relaxed way.
Usually, any interesting hot news can inspire my creative inspiration. Everyone's aesthetic and taste are different. Some people like to paint landscapes, some people like to paint flowers, grasses, fish and trees, I am more inclined to create characters, and the charm of people is very touching.
Because of the epidemic, my work has basically shifted to online. On the Little Red Book, netizens also gave me several titles, one is "the soul painter of 6G surfing", and now the fastest is not 5G, but netizens feel that the speed of my hot creation is comparable to 6G. As for the soul painter, netizens feel that the characters I create can still touch people's hearts.
There is also a "straight man with a girl's heart", because I always make moves that don't match my age, although I am a post-70s, but painting has always allowed me to keep a childlike heart. I've always felt that only people who keep a childlike heart can create interesting paintings.
For this wave of epidemic, I have the same idea as everyone else: I hope that the community will be unsealed as soon as possible, and I hope that everyone will commute to work normally. Although the world may never go back to the past, I think as long as everyone continues to do a good job in prevention and control, it may return to 2019.
In my eyes, this is a pragmatic city. Why do people like Zhang Wenhong and Wu Jinglei so much? I think it's because I see a pragmatic spirit in them.
As an ordinary Shanghai citizen, at present, all we can do is to actively cooperate with the epidemic prevention work, eat the rice bar, squat at home, and in the extraordinary period, everyone needs to maintain a good spirit and spend it hand in hand. Shanghai has "Wenwu (Wu) Double Complete", we are very at ease!
