Chapter 85: The Ceremony (4)
"Ladies and gentlemen, good evening, I'm Masashi Nakamura, and I'm now in Studio 1 of TV Tokyo, and I'm going to bring you the full coverage of the 'One World One Manga Awards' award ceremony......"
With this voice, a middle-aged man with a small flat hair and two vertical lines between his eyebrows appeared in front of the camera with a smile on the TV, and countless viewers who had just been bombarded by 90-second advertisements cheered up and began to look at the screen intently.
ββ¦β¦ Okay, now on the big screen behind me, there is a real-time scene outside the Tokyo Dome Arena, and even though the weather in Tokyo is terrible today, we can see that the square outside the stadium is already surrounded by people......"
Nakamura Masajun half-turned around, stared at the live video from the scene, and said, then raised his eyebrows, "It seems that many viewers who love the entries of this contest have dressed themselves up as characters in it, such as this young man standing in the lower right corner, wearing a white karate uniform, he should be the male protagonist of the COS entry "Good Boy of the Forest" Kanegi, and the girl next to him is playing the heroine of "Heaven and the World", Zao Maya......"
β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦
As TV Tokyo host Masajun Nakamura introduced the excitement outside the ceremony, he had just stepped out of Suidobashi Subway Station, and after changing from the previous Ikebukuro Subway Terminal, he finally arrived near the Tokyo Dome Stadium 15 minutes before the official start of the ceremony.
"Do you have to walk 1.2 kilometers to get there?"
Silently glancing at the last distance displayed on the mobile phone navigation, Fang Ye exhaled lightly, and followed the flow of people out of the station, walking step by step in the direction indicated by the navigation.
At the same time, around the Tokyo Dome Stadium, contestants from all over the city are heading towards the gymnasium, including middle-aged people with dyed yellow hair and black-framed eyes, young people with serious faces and even scary looks, and young girls with air bangs and their small round faces to create a sense of delicate facial features.
"One step away, one step away from realizing my dream!"
Mayumi's manga was able to finish sixth this time...... It's enough, and with this competition, I'm much better than when I first entered the manga industry......"
"Why can my work only rank fourth, since that "One Punch Man" cheated, it should be disqualified, I should be third!"
β¦β¦β¦β¦
On the way, everyone had different voices because of the final rankings that had just been announced.
Among the several contestants who qualified to participate in tonight's awards ceremony, I am afraid that only Fang Ye's current mentality is the most differentββββ
"If it's really what I think, it's better not to get involved with me, I just want to get my prize money and leave without any trouble, and nothing else has anything to do with me......"
He already knew a lot about the secrets of the "miracle work" from Asakami Orihime, and he thought helplessly as he looked at the Tokyo Dome Stadium, which had appeared not far from his sight.
If it weren't for the big prize money that was about to arrive, he wouldn't want to come to this troubled water.
β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦
TV Tokyo, Studio 1.
"Oh, look, they're coming!"
found that the camera outside the ceremony suddenly zoomed in, and several figures who were led by the staff gradually appeared in the camera, and Nakamura Masatsu, who was in charge of hosting the show, shouted excitedly.
"Now we see, the person at the forefront is Mr. Masatoshi Kawahara, who won the second place in this year's 'Tianxia One Comics Award', his work "Shura's Gate" draws on Toei's traditional fighting skills 'karate', making the fighting style of the manga very realistic, and the fighting action of the protagonist Mutsu 99 is even more Shotokan, Gangjiu Flow, and Dao Ryu Several major schools of style, can successfully integrate real martial arts into the comics, he deserves to win the second place in this award!"
As soon as Nakamura Masajun's words fell, the cheers of the crowd at the scene were also heard on the screen, and it was obvious that those people should be fanatical fans of "Shura's Gate".
"The girl who walked behind Masatoshi Kawahara was Mayumi Hana, who won sixth place, and her entry "Summer Miracle" was beautiful in style and handsome in male character design, which was very popular with many female readers.
And Mayumi Hana in the camera is smiling brightly at her supporters, constantly waving her hands.
"The third person who came to us was Mr. Hirotaka Kisaragi, who won the fourth place, and although his entry "Haunted House" was shorter, he showed enough drawing skills to rival the veteran manga artists in the industry, and according to the information, although he was a rookie manga artist, he was already a well-known illustrator long before that.
He has drawn hundreds of illustrations for books, magazines, novels and other publications, and the purpose of this competition is to transform into the comic industry, and it is clear that he has succeeded!"
Masajun Nakamura unhurriedly introduced the contestants to the audience one by one, judging from his performance directly off the script, he has long remembered the information of these contestants, and has done his homework well, and he is worthy of being a well-known host of TV Tokyo.
"Uh...... Next up is ......"
When Fang Ye's figure appeared in the camera, Nakamura Masamashi hesitated, and a sharp-eyed audience saw that his gaze was turning out of the camera, as if he was looking at the guide studio.
"Ahem...... Sorry, we just learned of his identity as the Executive Committee of the 'One World Comics Awards' did not attach a photo of this contestant to the profile. β
As if he had seen a prompt message from outside the studio, Nakamura Masajun coughed lightly, explained the reason briefly, and then said with a straight face: "This young man is Mr. One, who won the third place, yes, he is the creator of the entry "One Punch Man", and the other creator, Yusuke Murata, according to the information we just got, actually does not exist, it is just the name of Mr. One who gave himself. Yes, he is not from Toying, but an international student from China, and this time he is representing the Kyoto University Manga Society......"
At this time, all the households who were staring at the TV, and many viewers who were paying attention to the "One Comic Book Awards" award ceremony, couldn't help but widen their eyes when they listened to Nakamura Masajun's narration, they didn't expect that the creator of "One Punch Man", which caused huge controversy, was actually the young man in the camera, not to mention that the identity of the other party was still a foreign student from China, not a senior cartoonist from Toying that everyone talked about on the Internet before.
"It's Yesang! It's Yesang!"
In the crowd at the scene, Masatoshi Hirota's expression froze instantly, but his eyes widened blankly, and he was holding the live broadcast of Nakamura Masajun reporting the program, in a trance, he couldn't hold the phone, only heard a clang, and the delicate flip phone fell heavily to the ground.
"Sure enough, it's a liar! What did you say that the author of "One Punch Man" came to me, obviously he is!"
Sayuri Yoshinaga, who had just woken up in the hospital room, glared angrily at the TV set placed in the middle of the room and shouted, she hadn't forgotten what the owner of this face had said to her, not to mention that the strange change of her best friend Miyuki Sawashiro might be because of this person's work "One Punch Man"!
And in the dressing room of the Tokyo Dome Stadium, several rookie voice actors who are preparing for the next stage, one of the cute girls can't help screaming when she sees Fang Ye appearing, causing the eyebrow pencil held by her companion next to her to be crooked, and she immediately drew the wrong place.
"Oh my God! I'm going to be scared to death by you, Yui-chan!"
A beautiful girl with a sweet appearance and an extraordinary temperament pursed her mouth and shouted to Yui Shinheng, who had just screamed.
"I'm sorry, Akemi-chan, I'm really sorry. β
Yui Shinheng's apology was sincere, but her eyes did not fall on her companion's face, but still stared at the picture on the TV.
"How could it be Fang Jun, he turned out to be the one who drew "One Punch Man"!"
