"Editor-in-chief Du, these are two contract ......"

After sitting down, Fang Ye took out two signed contracts from his satchel and said softly.

"Xiao Chen," Du Kexin glanced at Chen Yuan, who was standing aside, and Chen Yuan quickly stepped forward to take the two contract texts from Fang Ye's hands.

"You go to the finance office to stamp the official seal, as well as the legal person seal, and then bring a copy back to Mr. Fang. ”

"Okay, editor-in-chief. ”

Chen Yuan nodded, then turned to leave the room.

When only Du Kexin and Fang Ye were left in the huge office, the woman poured black tea into the empty cup on the table, and said to Fang Ye:

"Teacher Fang, please come over today, in addition to signing the contract, there is actually one more thing I want to talk to you face-to-face. ”

Fang Ye, who secretly said in his heart that the meat was coming, didn't show any sound, just picked up the black tea that had just been put in front of him and took a sip.

“……”

Seeing that Fang Ye didn't answer, Du Kexin had no choice but to continue by himself, "I don't know if you've heard of the 'Golden Dragon Award', Teacher Fang?"

Golden Dragon Award?

Fang Ye's toast was paused, after all, as long as it is a Chinese, who doesn't know the Golden Dragon Award?!

Of course, I've heard that it's an official event that has been hailed by the media as the "No. 1 Chinese Animation Award". ”

Fang Ye set his gaze on Du Kexin, and said in a calm tone.

"Our company got the news that this year's 'Golden Dragon Award' will be solicited from all over the world at the end of November, I wonder if you are interested in signing up, Mr. Fang?"

Du Kexin asked with a smile on his face.

"I'm interested, but I'm afraid I don't have time to prepare. ”

Fang Ye nodded first and shook his head, "Since I signed a contract with you, then according to the contract, I have to hand over 70 drawings to you every month, which means that I have to draw 17 drawings a week, and I must draw 2~3 drawings a day......

Speaking of this, he also frowned and said, "And as far as I know, there are hard and fast rules on the conditions for the Golden Dragon Award, and works like me that have already participated in the Dongying Competition are not eligible to participate." ”

After Du Kexin heard this, the smile on his face remained unchanged, and he raised the teacup and took a sip, and only said when he put it down: "Naturally, I didn't ask Mr. Fang to take 'One Punch Man' to participate in the competition, but I want to suggest that you try to draw a short story to submit, because the Golden Dragon Award also has the 'Best Short Story Award', which is just right for your current situation, Mr. Fang." ”

"Oh, so there is such an award. ”

Fang Ye responded.

If he is preparing for such an award, the length of the painting he wants to draw does not need to be too long, and after completing the submission every month, he should be able to squeeze in time to paint slowly, and he should be able to complete a short work before the deadline of the Golden Dragon Award.

But this familiar scene in front of him made Fang Ye not reveal the slightest sign of agreeing.

After the black tea in the cups of the two of them was drunk, Du Kexin finally couldn't maintain his smile and said: "I know that it is too sudden for you to propose such a thing today, but our editorial department has no other way......

Fang Ye looked at her silently when he heard this, and put on a look of wanting to hear about it.

"I'll tell you the truth with Mr. Fang, for the annual Golden Dragon Award, our company will determine the candidates early, for example, in the first half of this year, we decided to recommend Mr. Jiang Chong, who was signed by the headquarters, to participate in the competition, after all, he won the Best Illustration Award of the Peking International Golden Pinwheel last year, but just a few days ago, Mr. Jiang Chong suddenly broke the contract and left the company......"

So now you can only catch the ducks on the shelves and find me here temporarily?

Fang Ye, who learned some facts from the other party's mouth, couldn't help but sneer.

"After discussion at the headquarters, I think that among all the cartoonists signed by it, except for the senior cartoonists who have become famous and will not participate in the competition again, the person with the most award-winning strength is none other than Mr. Fang. ”

Du Kexin saw that Fang Ye was still silent, and his voice became a little higher: "And Mr. Fang, as long as you agree to participate in this year's Golden Dragon Award, whether you win the award or not, the company will pay you an entry fee of 200,000 yuan, and if you win the award in the end, not only will the prize money all belong to you, but an additional 150,000 yuan will be added to the entry fee......"

Without waiting for Fang Ye to react, Du Kexin followed: "If you participate in a large-scale event like the Golden Dragon Award, Mr. Fang should have also experienced it, it is very helpful to increase the exposure of your works and improve your own popularity. ”

Du Kexin's persuasion can be said to be a direct explanation of the benefits of fame and fortune to the other party, and he can't be moved by the night.

"She's right, and if it's a short comic, wouldn't I be able to put out the second work I had set before, 'Motionless on the Shore', to see if I can show the stand-in ability 'Heaven's Gate' in the work, and solve my painting problems. ”

figured out that going to participate in the 'Golden Dragon Award' this time is not only a move to kill two birds with one stone, but also to kill three birds with one stone, and Fang Ye is already excited.

"Okay, since Editor-in-Chief Du has said this, I will participate in the competition, but according to your suggestion, I will only go for the 'Best Short Comic Award' in the Golden Dragon Awards......."

Fang Ye stood up and said in a firm tone.
