まんが島 (2017)

The girl asked, "Where is Manga Island?" Only manga artists can set foot on the island. Idle people are not allowed to enter, but Manga Island is also like a besieged city. People outside want to enter, while those inside want to come out. A few manga artists trapped on a small island, accompanied by snakes and insects, perform the horror of a deserted island, and even rush to draft day and night, pouring their emotions and desires onto paper. When it comes to brain block, I finally come up with the legend of mermaid monster Tan and dungboat, and I'm afraid of being taken by someone. Everyone was hungry, afraid of both starvation and exhaustion of inspiration. Struggling with the barren environment, but also entangled with one's own demons. Shouwu Wenxiong initially made a long film, wrote and acted by himself, cleverly transforming the desire, pain, confusion, and joy of creation into a fantasy drift of a group of cartoonists.
