650【Champion Hojo Division】
The implication of this executive's words, Xu Wenhui can naturally hear that the other party is not optimistic about Qingshan Gangchang. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
Xu Wenhui didn't explain, didn't talk nonsense with him, and said directly: "I'm very optimistic about him, you call him directly, encourage him, win him over, let him continue to work hard, and even come to the company to paint, we can ask him to be an assistant and apprentice to cartoonists." ”
After all, only Xu Wenhui knows in his heart that because of his arrival, many people will be affected by himself.
Among them, the cartoonist who entered the second world undoubtedly had the greatest influence.
"Yes. The director had no choice but to agree, unless he didn't want to do it, he didn't dare to talk back to the boss, and it was a small matter.
In addition to Aoyama Gosho, Xu Wenhui also found some familiar cartoonist names on the list.
Of course, they are just some unknown little people now, but to Xu Wenhui's surprise, most of these future cartoonists have also been brushed down!
It can be seen that the strictness of the Second World Comic Awards, if you want to pass the initial pass, you must improve the quality.
Xu Wenhui, like Aoyama Gosho, asked the supervisor to contact the editor in charge and encourage them to avoid being poached by other comic clubs.
And because there are too few cartoonists who can pass the draft, when the works are selected, Xu Wenhui found that there are more than ten copies.
It's only ten, and this number is really pitiful, especially compared to the Tezuka Award of the same nature.
The thickness of ten short stories is not even up to the Shonen Weekly.
It pales in comparison with Tezuka's professional manga magazine, and the difference in thickness between the two is more than double.
However, the second world is full of confidence and does not take it too seriously, in fact, this achievement is already very remarkable.
After all, this is the first Second World Comics Awards, and it is already a good number to be able to get the approval of many judges, and it is already a good number to be able to exceed ten.
In addition to the growing reputation of Second World, the main thing is its generous prize money and the great opportunity to be serialized in the weekly magazines of Second World.
Xu Wenhui didn't read it in the first review, and these comic works that were initially approved by the review, he found that the artists of each work were basically above the standard, and their plots and themes were also varied.
Attracting some comic fans is not a problem.
In the end, these ten works were serialized in the new issue "Second Dimension", and then they were fully distributed and sold in places around the world where there is a second world.
Although Shueisha and several manga companies have stopped the expansion of the Second World in Europe and the United States, in Southeast Asia, Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan, the Second World has been fully fledged, so it is completely unaffected.
But this time, the four major manga clubs, Shueisha, Shogakukan, Kodansha, and Shiraizumensha, all worked together to boycott "Second Dimension".
Because this "Second Dimension" comic magazine is not for profit, it is mainly to make a name for itself in the second world and attract many new cartoonists!
It's because the price tag is not high.
That's just over 100 yen.
In this way, it quickly opened up the situation in Asia, and almost everyone in the second world has a copy.
This is a competition for the future with Shueisha.
It is even more frightening and infuriating than grabbing overseas markets.
However, it can still be stopped in Europe and the United States, and there is no way to join forces with the four major comic clubs in the existing field.

Soon, the sales of "Second Dimension" reached a terrifying 700,000 in the first week, leading most comic weeklies.
After heated discussions among many judges and votes from readers, the awards of the first Second World Comics Awards were finally released.
""Cosmic Angel" is very good, the painting is a little ordinary, but it fits this comic better!"
The champion was Tsukasa Hojo's "Cosmic Angel", which was his debut novel, and another time and space was sent to "Shonen Jump" by a friend, and entered the 18th Tezuka Award Finals;
Today, Tsukasa Hojo is attracted by the prospect of the development of the second world and the generous prize money, and chooses the second world.
Unexpectedly, Virgo was an immediate success.
It can be said that his creative process was quite smooth, unlike many cartoonists who worked as assistants to other cartoonists for a long time before becoming famous.
The end result was that "Angel of the Universe" was the only work selected.
As for the entry works, there is no way, the works collected in the first session are relatively ordinary, except for "Angel of the Universe", there are no works that really make people shine.
The plots of most of the works are generally old-fashioned and uninnovative, and if it weren't for the good painters, I'm afraid they wouldn't have been published in "The Second Dimension" at all.
As for the best works, only three were selected, and all the rest were eliminated.
In other words, with the selection of "Cosmic Angel", only four works won awards at the first Second World Manga Awards.
When the winning work is announced.
The cartoonists who failed to win the award could only look at the lucky ones who won the award with envy, jealousy and hatred.
Because the prize money of the Second World Manga Society is more than double that of the Tezuka Prize.
In other words, the selected works will not only be included in the Second World Weekly Serialization Conference, but will also receive a total of 2 million yen.
Even if it's just a good work, it's 500,000 yen, which is definitely a lot of money for most manga artists.

And when it comes to claiming rewards.
"Tsukasa Hojo!" Xu Wenhui couldn't help but move when he saw Tsukasa Hojo selected, this is another famous comic master in the island country of time and space, and his paintings of "City Hunter" and "Three Sisters with Cat's Eye" are famous.
This made Xu Wenhui's heart agitated, but he didn't expect to dig up another big fish.
When it was time to present the awards, Xu Wenhui directly came forward to present the award to Tsukasa Hojo.
Under the gaze of dozens of media and dozens of cartoonists, judges and hundreds of comic fans, on the podium, Xu Wenhui smiled into the microphone: "Congratulations, boy." ”
"Thank you, Mr. Xu. Tsukasa Hojo received the trophy excitedly.
He is a round-faced young man with glasses, who looks a little obscene, but when he saw Xu Wenhui, he was full of admiration, Xu Wenhui's history of fame, his status and strength in the comic industry are all admired by him.
It is a great honor for Tsukasa Hojo to be able to receive the trophy given to him by his idol and become a manga artist under his idol, and to work together in the future.
When the other cartoonists saw it, they were all secretly envious, and they all wondered why they couldn't be this lucky one?!!
"Come on, I'm optimistic about you. "Throw out the words of praise without money, and fool this young man lame.
After presenting the award to Tsukasa Hojo, Xu Wenhui left the award ceremony. With his current status, being able to attend and present him with the award has indeed given him a great face.
Afterwards, Xu Wenhui made an appointment with Tsukasa Hojo and handed him the outline and storyboard of the first few volumes of his masterpiece "City Hunter", which he loved very much.
Then he naturally received some gratitude from the Hojo Division, and regarded Xu Wenhui as his benefactor and Bole.
Future.
He will be the third pillar and ace manga artist after Adatsutsu and Akira Toriyama among male manga artists in the second world.
Cartoonists are basically very simple.
With this grace of acquaintance and cultivation, it is even more difficult for other comic clubs to poach people.
After dealing with the game and comics, as well as the post-production issues of the film and television series, Xu Wenhui plans to return to Hong Kong without waiting for these works to be released!
