Chapter 149 The End of the Second Stage

The two award-winning fan contestants left Yunhai the next day after visiting Shen Xin's studio, and they politely refused the serialization contract offered to them by the magazine.

Yu Ge's fan art is originally a hobby, and he has already found a job, so he doesn't plan to make a living from comics. Miao Wei followed Shen Xin's suggestion and planned to spend the first half of the year polishing a name and honing her basic skills.

Anyway, she just won the award, so she doesn't need to think about livelihood issues.

Therefore, the magazine wanted to find another "Shen Xin" plan by means of peer competitions, but it was in vain.

The time has entered October, and the entries for the third stage have been settled.

The final ranking of the rookie list has not changed much.

"Hunting Abyss" is the best, with almost 2 million more popularity points than "Y's".

Shen Xin's "Y's" was not bad either, taking second place with an advantage of 1.2 million. "Criminal Punishment" and "Top of Basketball" ranked third and fourth, and "Man Weekly" "Ghostbusters" barely squeezed into the top five, only 10,000 more popular than the sixth place.

A penny is hard for a hero, and 10,000 popularity is sometimes critical.

Subsequently, the Cartoonist Association sent invitations to five magazines. From October 4th to 11th, a seven-day conference was held at Junhao Hotel in Hongchuan.

This manga festival will last for three days, of which the first two days are exchanges between major magazines, and on the third night, the entire awards show will be broadcast live.

Many things are streamlined content, even if they are not published online, people who follow the comic festival will know the general idea. Therefore, this incident did not cause waves on Manjia.com.

However, the cartoonist was not willing to be lonely, and created a voting post to let netizens choose the winner in their hearts.

"Hunting Abyss" was no accident, it won the "laurel crown" of the newcomer award, followed closely by "Punishment" and "Top of Basketball". ".

"Why? Do these bastards look down on "Y's" so much?" Gao Hang looked at the voting on the computer, his scalp tingling, "No matter what, "Y's" is also the second place in the popularity list, right?"

"Look at what the people who posted below said?" Lu Ning reminded.

"What else can I say?" Gao Hang glanced at the post angrily, "They said that the 'Newcomer Award' has a curse. In the past 15 years, the 'Newcomer Award' was divided equally by the three major publications. No exception. They never thought that "Y's" is the second place in the popularity list."

Lu Ning did not answer Gao Hang, but focused on the post below.

"Don't you know? "Y's" is the second place on the rookie list. Even if it can't compare with "Hunting Abyss", it shouldn't be inferior to "Punishment" and "Top of Basketball", right?"

This person's thoughts are similar to Gao Hang's.

The reason is also explained below.

"You don't understand. The results of "Y's" are indeed good, but it is just a signature comic in a second-rate magazine. In the past, the top card of a second-rate magazine also achieved good results, but the winners of the 'Newcomer Award' every year are three Big magazine."

"On the top floor! It looks like a newcomer,

There is no doubt that the three major journals have a relatively high probability of winning some of the more important awards. "

"The 'Rookie Curse' is no joke."

...

Seeing this, Lu Ning frowned.

She patted Gao Hang on the shoulder, motioning him to get out of the way.

Gao Hang didn't know why, so he left the computer chair.

Lu Ning then dropped out of the list of newcomers for the past 15 years from Manjia.com. After careful comparison, it is true that as mentioned in the previous reply, there are a few comics that are not from the three major publications, and they also have good results, ranking second and third. Famous, but they all missed the "Newcomer Award".

"Mr. Shen, that's really the case." Lu Ning said in surprise.

"I know." Shen Xin put the G-pen into the ink bottle, leaned against the bottle mouth a little, let the excess ink flow back into the ink bottle, sighed, quite helplessly, "But, I can't do anything. Or Let’s draw the manga first, shall we?”

The two looked at each other and felt that what Shen Xin said was right, it was useless for them to be impatient now, and if this matter was mentioned again, Shen Xin would probably feel even more anxious.

Thinking of this, the two of them sighed and returned to the workbench.

As the comic festival is approaching, Shen Xin is inevitably nervous and anxious. It's like before time travel, when the online novel he wrote was about to be put on the shelves, the kind of heartfelt torment, there is no way to mention it to others.

Shen Xin also understands that he has no way to influence other people's actions and opinions, he can only do his own thing well.

In the end, she simply put these thoughts behind her, and Shen Xin didn't bother to think too much.

"By the way, do you want to go to the comic festival?" Shen Xin asked.

"Is it possible?" Lu Ning asked in surprise.

Gao Hang also had the same expression.

"Although I don't know how it's arranged over there, and there may be no way to enter the live broadcast, but it shouldn't be a problem to take you to Hongchuan for two or three days." Shen Xin said.

As the comic festival approaches, the organizer will send an invitation letter. In addition to the participating cartoonists, relevant personnel from the magazine will also go to the scene.

As for the assistant, he is definitely not qualified to go there, but if he pays for it himself, it is another matter.

Shen Xin also thought about taking the two of them out, maybe it would be helpful for their future development.

Gao Hang looked excited and nodded repeatedly.

Lu Ning lowered her head, kept silent, and took a round pen to draw the effect line.

If you can really participate in the comic festival... I guess it would be good.

...

Discussions about the major awards on the Internet were extremely intense, and various speculations also appeared in the forums. Some comic commentators even wrote a list of the major awards in their minds.

Everyone knows that these are just articles for everyone's entertainment, but there is only one place that really decides the award, and that is Junhao Hotel.

Junhao Hotel is a five-star hotel in the urban area of ​​Hongchuan. The selection stages of the comic festivals over the years have been held here.

This year, the organizer has contracted the 33rd and 34th floors, in which there is a large conference room for everyone to discuss, vote, and vote for major awards.

In order to cater to the theme of the comic festival, the hotel also made corresponding preparations. Various posters were pasted around the lobby, and the waiters also wore maid and cat girl costumes, bringing a two-dimensional atmosphere to the entire hotel.

In addition, in order to let other customers feel the heat of the comic festival, a small number of bookcases are placed in the corners of the hall and on the bookshelves beside the walls. There are also a lot of comics placed on the walls of the restaurant, which is convenient for customers to wait for their meals. Time to kill time.

In order to meet the needs of the jury and the cartoonist association, the bedrooms of the members of the jury and the cartoonist association are also placed with various comics for easy reading.

It can be said that in order to cooperate with the comics festival, Junhao Hotel has done almost everything.
