Chapter 27 Selection Results
Although the "Upstart" Newcomer Award will not be announced in the magazine in mid-April, the actual selection results have already come out around the 8th and 9th.
Hu Hong is an academic young cartoonist. He was twenty-seven years old. He had excellent painting skills, but his screenwriter skills were relatively weak. He had also serialized it in the official magazine "The Kingdom of Martial Arts", but he collaborated with other original authors.
This time he participated in the "Rise of the Newcomer Award" because he wanted to test how much his screenwriter's ability has improved for so long. He firmly believed that as long as he independently conceived a good story and then painted it with his outstanding painter, even the gold medal of the "Rise of the Newcomer Award" can be won!
When Hu Hong received a call from editor-in-chief Fu Lei, he was still diligently drawing storyboards serialized by the weekly magazine. In the studio, which is not a big one, the two assistants were also working hard.
Fu Lei is the editor who is more concerned about the traditional art world. He has heard the name "An Yi", but he didn't remember who An Yi is. At that time, Hu Hong was also brought into the comics world by himself. He admired academic painter like Hu Hong with excellent painting skills.
Hu Hong had just graduated from the Academy of Fine Arts at that time and was completely confused. He was dull and didn't know what he could do after learning to draw. He actually wanted to be involved in the traditional art world, but to be honest, his painters were good, but the art works he painted were full of craftsmanship and without the aura of a genius painter, how could this be appreciated by the art world?
Hu Hong was also considered to have gone the right path. Later, he was brought into the comics industry by Fu Lei, and his income was still good, even if he had to be half as close to the original author.
Hu Hong trusts Fu Lei, the editor who has the "grace of knowing and getting to know him". Of course, his painter has the ability to serialize in "The Kingdom of Martial Arts", but when he debuted, his screenwriter skills were indeed terrible, or he could not make up stories at all. It was all because Fu Lei found a reliable original author for him, so he was truly fortunate to serialize in "The Kingdom of Martial Arts".
Now, he is a senior cartoonist who has worked hard in the comics industry for three or four years. He thinks he is well aware of all kinds of routines in martial arts comics, so he has the idea of drawing comics independently. He wants to prove himself at the "Rise of the Future" Newcomer Award.
Hu Hong, who was slightly fat, stopped painting, answered the phone, and said nervously: "What's the result?"
Hu Hong suddenly felt that this moment had become extremely long, obviously only a very short period of time.
"Teacher Hu Hong, congratulations, you have won the bronze medal of the 'Rising Show'. Please come to receive the prize, certificate and souvenir at the end of April, and attend the awards ceremony dinner... Do you want to see the evaluations of your works by other teachers and editors now?" Fu Lei's voice finally came over.
"Of course, I'll go to your place in person!" Hu Hong said with depression and excitement. His residence was very close to the studio.
After hanging up the phone, Hu Hong waved his fist hard, with joy on his face. As an author who has never won the "rise" before, even if he can win a bronze medal, it is enough to make him happy.
The two assistants also congratulated Hu Hong on his face, with an envious look in his eyes.
Being an assistant is something that almost all cartoonists have done before their debut, unless you are a real super genius. Even the author of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" who is now in full swing, Mr. Ke Yongqun, also served as an assistant before his debut.
At the same time, Nie Shenjian, a cartoonist who is only 23 years old, is enough to be called a genius cartoonist. After all, he won the "Silver Award" two years ago. At this time, after receiving a call from the editor, saying that the work won the "Silver Award", he said in a bad tone: "It's another silver award, who cares! Is it because you, the newcomer award, you can't bear the 100,000 yuan of the gold award, so you always take a bye? If this is the case, you give me the gold award, and I don't want the 100,000 yuan award!"
Nie Shenjian is young and energetic and full of spirit. He is indeed more potential, talented and has high requirements for himself than Hu Hong. It is already satisfied that ordinary cartoonists can win a "silver award", but he must win the "gold award"!
His editor-in-chief is also extraordinary. He is the deputy editor-in-chief like Ding Hebei. His name is Liu Haiqian. This is an editor with a personality. He is the kind of guy who can't find someone during the day and is in a nightclub when he calls him at night.
However, Liu Hai's potential has been promoted to deputy editor-in-chief, and it can be seen that he does have two tricks. Like Nie Shenjian, the genius author, he is the one who has a wise eye for talent.
Liu Haiqian heard Nie Shenjian's bad tone, and he couldn't help but smile and comfort him: "I actually read your work, you have the ability to have a gold medal, your creativity is 4 stars, your plot is 5 stars, your painter is 4 stars, and your character is 4 stars. This evaluation was in the past, so you can definitely win the gold medal! But this time you are not lucky and meet "Yi'an"..."
"Who is Yi'an? Li Qingzhao, a layman in Yi'an?" Nie Shenjian said in an even more unhappy manner, but when he heard the scores of the four items, he was slightly happy, because this score could indeed win gold medals in the past, and an average of 4 stars would reach the gold medal level.
I don’t know who Yi An is... Liu Haiqian complained in his heart, as an editor who is not doing his job and fooling around, he only heard not long ago that Ding Hebei actually had luck and discovered a comic genius who was never seen in a century. Even editor-in-chief Ji Hongfei was alarmed!
It's hard to see in a century?
This awesome person is too boasting. How long has modern commercial comics been around for a long time? It’s not a hundred years?
He didn't take it too seriously at that time. Anyone who is awesome would brag. When the result of the "Upstart" Newcomer Award came out, the truth would be revealed...
However, Liu Haiqian learned that Yi An's two works "The Sword of Yue Girl" and "Seven Weapons: The Sword of Eternal Life" directly won the top two, and confirmed that he won the "Golden Award" and "Silver Award". He also made many judges argue endlessly about which work was the "Golden Award". He even almost fought and waved his fists to each other.
Although Liu Haiqian is an editor who is not a good job and fools around, it is undeniable that he has strong business ability. Specifically, he is strong in urging manuscripts and leading bad authors. His love for comics is also an irrefutable fact, so he now wants to see what kind of work it is to make the judges so crazy!
"Why do you come to the magazine and let's take a look at Yi An's works together?" Liu Haiqian said on the phone.
"Come on! Humph, I don't believe it anymore!" Nie Shenjian hung up the phone and rushed to the magazine editorial office.
