Chapter 136: Akatsuka Reward and Tezuka Reward (Ask for the first order!)
"Akatsuka rewards, ah......"
This is one of the most desirable awards for all new cartoonists in the comic world. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
There are two authoritative newcomer manga awards, the "Tezuka Award" and the "Akatsuka Award" founded by two heavyweight manga ancestors. 堢, pronounced [zhǒng], with the sound of 'swollen'.
Among them, Tezuka was founded by Osamu Tezuka, who is known as the god of manga, and selects story-based manga works.
The Akatsuka Prize, on the other hand, was founded by Fujio Akatsuka, chairman of FUJIO Production, who is not weaker than Osamu Tezuka, and selects funny manga works.
These two important awards are similar to the Sanjiang Pavilion of Dianniang Chinese Network in the online literary circle, but Sanjiang Pavilion once a week.
On the other hand, Tezuka and Akatsuka each select newcomers who have won the Masterpiece Award or more twice a year, with a quota of about 5 people each time, which means that about 20 newcomers are eligible to start their professional manga careers at Weekly Shonen Jump every year.
The most sincere uncle back then, Masakohiro, when he officially debuted, he was on the Akatsuka Award, and Hattori Tetsu said that Wang Xiu's comics can be on the Akatsuka Award, which is equivalent to directly recognizing that Wang Xiu is now qualified to debut serialized and become a cartoonist!
Hattori Tetsu said: "Of course, things are not so simple, specifically, it depends on whether Mr. Wang Xiu's follow-up comics can maintain such an excellent level, if possible, Mr. Wang Xiu can finish drawing three words first, I can directly submit it to the editor-in-chief, so that your work can be directly serialized on NEXT!
Shonen JUMPNEXT!Weekly Shonen Jump supplements,It's only published three times a year! In addition to newcomers,Every year, there are other people with serial experience who will be featured on it.,If you do well on it and get recognized,You can officially debut.,Become a full-fledged serialized cartoonist! This is the debut of a rookie manga artist.,A magazine with a general shortcut.,There are only three chances a year.。
"Wang Xiu, can you prepare to make your debut?" this ......" Gao Heqiu people have five flavors of grains in their hearts, and they are still excited to be able to be on the newcomer's monthly reward, but Wang Xiu was directly recognized by the editor and can make his debut, such a contrast is too uncomfortable.
With a complicated emotion of excitement and a little bit of loss, the highest and Qiu Ren left with Wang Xiu and returned to the comic studio.
The first thing Wang Xiu did when he returned to the comic studio calmly was to pick up a paintbrush and continue to practice painting.
"Wang Xiu, you ...... Aren't you happy?" Qiu Ren asked as he looked at Wang Xiu so calmly.
"Why be happy?"
"Uh, isn't it fun to be a cartoonist?"
"Actually, I'm very happy, but I realize that my drawing skills are not as good as the highest, if it weren't for the wonderful story, today's Hattori editors would not be so praised, I can be recognized, I am very happy, but the drawing skills are not as good as others, but I am not happy, I want to become a real manga artist, so I am not satisfied with my drawing skills, until I catch up with the highest, catch up with the best manga artists, I will not be satisfied, and I will always move forward! The highest has said that the drawing skills of manga artists are endless, I believe this sentence. ”
Gao Gao was silent, turned his head and walked back to his work desk, picked up the paintbrush again, and practiced his painting skills like Wang Xiu.
Qiuren saw that the two of them did not have the joy of being recognized by the editor, he was slightly stunned, and after thinking about it, he clenched his fists, and for a while, the atmosphere of the entire comic studio became compact.
"Hey, the highest, our submission this time should be considered a success, the first submission got a business card and email address, and you can even participate in the monthly reward, why, are you not happy?"
The highest raised his head and looked at Qiuren seriously: "Qiuren, do you really think so?"
Qiuren's face was slightly sluggish: "What?"
The highest lowered his head again, and the brush in his hand kept coming: "I think Hattori editing is very good." ”
"Ah, yes, I think so too. The autumn people responded.
"However, our comics are not good. The highest voice grew slightly cold.
"Why, didn't the editor say that everyone can participate in the monthly reward?"
"I can participate in the monthly awards, but I may not be selected for the award, this is the original words of the editor of Hattori, he said that our manga story genre is good, but he didn't say that my drawing skills are good, he said that my sketching skills are okay, but because there are too many sketches, unlike manga, the characters and backgrounds are similar, and more changes are needed...... It's best to create your own style of drawing manga. ”
"Wang Xiu's painting skills are not as good as mine, but he has a unique painting style, incorporating a Chinese style and simple style, and his story is interesting, and the Hattori editor even bluntly said that he can participate in the Akatsuka ......"
"I'm not as good as Wang Xiu. The highest sighed and said this sentence unwillingly.
"Maximum, do you want to say that the editor of Hattori said that our manga can be rewarded in the month, but it is only because we are young and have great potential for improvement that we ......"
"Well...... At the level of "Two Earths", even if you participate in the monthly award of Shonen Jump, you may not be selected, let alone the Tezuka award, if you don't see the contrast between the appearance of the Hattori editor in the face of Wang Xiu's manga, maybe I still believe that my drawing is okay, but now that I have the comparison, I realize that the Hattori editor may just be to inspire us, so he will say that...... My uncle once said that there are some very good editors who are optimistic about some rookie cartoonists, even if their comics are not qualified, they will also praise them tactfully. ”
"So, our manga probably wouldn't have been sent to the monthly prize by the Hattori editor at all, just so that we wouldn't be frustrated by the failure of the first submission, so I convinced the editor that it was good and worth believing. ”
"Wang Xiu got a real recognition, but I wasn't very happy, and we just got a fake recognition, naturally we can't be happy, I just want to correct all the problems pointed out by the Hattori editors, and draw better comics, I also want to participate in the Akatsuka Award like Wang Xiu, and we, we want to participate in the Tezuka Award!"
Akito suddenly smiled.
"Highest level, sure enough, you are such a person, indeed, there is something wrong with our comics. ”
"I only remember now that Hattori editor said that [Two Earths] is more of a light novel story than a manga story, and that my originality is also problematic. ”
"Well, I think so too. ”
"Ah, then why didn't you say it earlier?"
"We agreed that I wouldn't comment on your storyboard, and you wouldn't comment on my drawing skills. ”
"So!" Qiu Ren glanced at Wang Xiu, who was already practicing his painting skills, and said, "Next time, the comic will be revised so that we can give each other opinions! Spend more time thinking and draw a comic that we are all satisfied with! Catch up with Wang Xiu." ”
When Wang Xiu heard this, he suddenly raised his head and said, "Hey, you can draw it, why are you pulling me, I'm your cartoonist's assistant, why do you want to catch up with me." ”
Gao and Qiuren said in unison at the same time: "Because our comics are not as good as you!" Their eyes were bright.
"Your real opponent should be Eiji, the new wife of the genius manga artist, not me. Wang Xiu grinned.
"Such an arrogant guy is nothing at all, you, Wang Xiu is a real genius cartoonist. ”
"No, I'm not a genius cartoonist, I'm a cartoonist, I said, I can dream of another world in my sleep, you will never be my opponent, understand?"
"What! the highest, Wang Xiu is really a second-year disease, why is he so old, he is even more second-year than a second-year student!"
"Qiuren, don't pay attention to him, he is the second second, let's just do our best, don't let him be proud for too long!"
The supreme and the autumn people joined forces to tease Wang Xiu.
"Akito, let's start working on it now! I need to practice my painting skills better, and get rid of all the shortcomings that Hattori's editor said. ”
"Highest level, I want to come up with better really interesting stories, and the next goal is Tezuka Reward!"
"Well, the Tezuka Award will be selected at the beginning of October, and there will be a month to go, so it will definitely come in time!"
"Come on!"
Ahh
Wang Xiuxiao watched these two teenagers struggle from the blow so quickly, and his mood was extremely happy, this is the 'Yacheng Mu Mengye' combination in my heart.
Thank you, thank you for giving me strength in those days.
