On September 8, 2015 (July 26, 2015, the father of the "Black Cat Sheriff", Zhu Zhixiang, passed away. Zhu Zhixiang and his works On the evening of September 8, 2015, Zhu Zhixiang, the father of the "Black Cat Sheriff", passed away at Shanghai Ruijin Hospital last night at the age of 74. Mr. Zhu Zhixiang's memorial service will be held at 3:30 pm on the 10th in the Galaxy Hall of Longhua Funeral Home. It is reported that Zhu Zhixiang has been publishing works since 1968, and has written fairy tales such as "Eight Rings Returning to His Hometown","Black Cat Sheriff","Black Cat Sheriff and Alien", etc. "Black Cat Sheriff" won the first National Outstanding Children's Literature Award and was adapted into an animated script for broadcast. It became a domestic animation classic and a collective memory of children in the 1980s and 1990s. "Black Cat Sheriff" was born like this: "Ahha... Black Cat Sheriff, Ahha... Black Cat Sheriff." Whenever this familiar song sounds, the black cat sheriff with his eyes wide open like a copper bell will automatically pop up in the minds of the post-70s and post-80s generation. The original author of this classic anime image is Zhu Zhixiang. He was born in Shanghai, and his grandfather and father were both from Shaoxing. Zhu Zhixiang graduated from Shanghai City Fourth Normal School in 1961 and began to publish his works in 1968. In addition to the well-known "Black Cat Sheriff", Zhu Zhixiang has also written the novelette fairy tale "Pig Returning to his Hometown","The Ox Hanging a Tie","Doctor Monkey Treating Diseases" and other works. Zhu Zhixiang once said that the reason why he created the image of "Black Cat Sheriff" was because "Panda is a national treasure. It looks cute and likes it by children, but it is clumsy and is not suitable for being a police officer; Tigers are powerful but lack wisdom. It is not good for the sheriff to have courage and plan. Finally, I chose the cat." In February 1982, Fujian People's Publishing House officially published "Black Cat Sheriff", which was very popular. After that,"Black Cat Sheriff" won multiple awards including the First National Outstanding Children's Literature Award. In the late 1990s, Dongfang TV launched a national 100-episode cartoon solicitation activity. Zhu Zhixiang's follow-up "Black Cat Sheriff vs. Aliens" was selected. It was originally planned to shoot 100 episodes. Due to various reasons, the TV station did not continue filming after filming 12 episodes. The "biological father" and "adoptive father" have fought lawsuits. As a super IP in the domestic animation field,"Black Cat Sheriff" has also experienced a copyright storm. From 1983 to 1987, Shanghai Fine Arts Film Studio converted the first five episodes of "Black Cat Sheriff" into animated films. Subsequently, cartoon director Dai Tielang published an animated comic strip of "Black Cat Sheriff". In late June 1987, Zhu Zhixiang sued Dai Tielang to court, accusing Dai Tielang of infringing the copyright and authorship rights of his "Black Cat Sheriff". In the end, the court confirmed that Dai Tielang did commit negligence in publishing the comic strip and periodicals of "Black Cat Sheriff". After court mediation, Zhu Zhixiang and Dai Tielang shook hands and made peace. Dai Tielang compensated Zhu Zhixiang 2880 yuan from the written remuneration he received. Zhu Zhixiang withdrew the lawsuit in court. Last year, Zhu Zhixiang revealed to the media that he had actually written more than 100 stories about the black cat police chief, with a total length of more than 300,000 words, but the remaining stories had no chance to appear on the screen. Dai Tielang was preparing to write and paint the next "Black Cat Sheriff". He even selected the characters of small animals in the cartoon, and tore up the manuscript due to litigation. In preparation for the live-action version of "Black Cat Sheriff" yesterday, director Lu Chuan mourned Mr. Chu Zhixiang on Weibo and said: "Teacher Zhu Zhixiang, thank you for your trust and entrusting me with the copyright of the film. It's a pity to make an appointment to meet in Shanghai. The classic image of the black cat sheriff you left behind will live forever." As early as June this year, Lu Chuan purchased the film and television adaptation rights of "Black Cat Sheriff", and the news that a live-action version would be filmed made a sensation on the Internet. At that time, his assistant responded: "Lu Chuan has loved the animated film" Black Cat Sheriff "since he was a child. He thought it would be very interesting and interesting to move it to the big screen. Moreover, this time it was made into a live-action movie. The genre is very fresh." Lu Chuan also said that since Lu Chuan's new film "Nine-Storey Demon Tower" is about to be released and "Black Cat Sheriff" is only in a creative period, Lu Chuan may not direct it personally and use a new director. When talking about the cost of purchasing copyright this time, Lu Chuan admitted that the price was high,"Many people wanted to buy copyright before, but the old man (Zhu Zhixiang) never sold it. This time, it was also because the old man liked director Lu Chuan's work very much. So I felt very relieved to give him the copyright."
