Banquets are usually held in the evening, or in the evening.

The bustling crowd is lit up.

In the center of the distance, a platform was set up to preside over the announcement, and below it were people walking over with wine glasses and snacks, and among them were waiters shuttling through it.

According to Nebula's convention, Shi Zixi, the Nebula Award winner, once again gave some speeches on stage.

It's just that this time, she didn't say something meaningful or thought-provoking like she did at the last awards party, that is, she followed the crowd and casually thanked some CCTV reports, the cultivation of the country, and praised some nonsense such as a harmonious global village.

It's something that purely uses an extended time.

Then, Yi Chong went up as a special guest to share his comic experience and life, which is much more meaningful than Shi Zixi's nonsense.

I can add a little bit of trivial knowledge.

After Shi Zixi spoke on the stage, he sat quietly in the corner, ready to leave when the official procedures of the party were almost gone.

Drinking orange juice, eating snacks, peeling shrimp and crabs, occasionally raising his eyes to look at the stage.

Because here is a group of comic book authors who sit at the desk all year round, of course, there are many editors and dealers, but in general, there are more squatting at home.

Generally speaking, it is a gathering of a bunch of otaku and otaku, so it is not like a star, but more like a company annual meeting.

Everyone got together to exchange ideas about this year's comic trends and consider whether they would follow the trend next year.

Scolded, today's readers have no vision, and they haven't read their hot-blooded comics so wonderful.

Lamenting how close his owner is to vampires, this year's blessing. The profit is cut and cut, and the remuneration is cut and cut.

Occasionally, I'm talking about it.,Editor-in-charge doesn't understand comics at all.,Always make your own opinions on your own comics.。

Of course, by the way, I will also talk about the situation when Shi Zixi won the Nebula Award this year, and express my own opinions.

…

"The next winner is No. 078,

Congratulations to No. 078 for receiving a set of professional painting tools sponsored by Phantom Beauty. The host congratulated him with some excitement.

"Hey~~ I didn't hit again," Shi Zixi looked at the number in his hand.

Probably because the Dao Xingyun Award ran out of luck, Shi Zixi drew a few numbers, and none of them won the prize, not even a consolation prize.

Although Shi Zixi is not so interested in some of the above prizes, such as the first prize, which is a set of collector's edition comics signed by Mao Shuiyun and written with blessings.

In this regard, some of the indigenous authors or editors present will have a look of excitement and anticipation.

However, Shi Zixi, an outsider, was not so interested in the prize set off by the star effect.

However, although he doesn't like it, Shi Zixi still hopes that he can draw this prize, after all, the added value of this thing is very high, especially the local tyrant fans who sell it on the Internet will definitely get a good price.

"After learning that I have returned to heaven, the first thing to do is to go to the temple to burn incense and pray to rub some luck on myself." Shi Zixi unhappily tore off a few number notes, got up and walked a few steps, and threw them into the trash.

It's just that on the way back, a man stands in front of her.

Shi Zixi raised his head and found that he was an older young man of about twenty-eight or nineteen years old, with a slightly chubby face, probably because of the perennial slumber, and his skin was unhealthy white due to lack of sunlight.

"Hello, Mr. Ziyan, I'm Lu Jun, my pen name is Diligent Brush, you can call me Brush, it's nice to meet you." The man had a smile on his face, one hand holding a wine glass, and the other reaching out to shake hands.

The whole person is still quite personable.

Shi Zixi glanced at this handsome young man vigilantly, and muttered in his heart:

Could it be that you want to take yourself to see the strange corn of the goldfish?

"Well, hello Brush Teacher, I don't hold my hand.

My mother always told me not to touch and talk to strangers.

So, if the brush teacher is fine, I'll go first. Shi Zixi took advantage of his tender appearance and petite body, and pretended to say in an innocent tone.

Compared with the calm and steady, wise and intelligent posture on the night of the awards, it is simply two people.

"This... Uh~・Hahaha..."Lu Jun was stunned for a moment, withdrew his hand and smiled, he really thought that what Shi Zixi said was true, and he didn't deduce it in combination with the behavior at the awards party, so he didn't have too much embarrassment, "Teacher Ziyan, I'm also watching your comic "Unheard of Flower Name", look at the plot, this is a novella, it seems to be about to end. Lu Jun asked,

"It's a novella, it's going to be over soon." Shi Zixi nodded and said.

From May to August, it's been almost four months, and in September, the manga will be finished.

"More than half of this year's time has passed, and the market response to Mr. Ziyan's comic is also very good, Mr. Ziyan is ready to take a break this year, can't he draw comics?" Lu Jun asked. "No, as a newcomer, the last comic is over, and the next comic will be launched next, which is the way of survival for newcomers.

How could I be on the air for three or four months and not be able to draw comics? Shi Zixi said strangely.

Shi Zixi is also going to change to a better house this year, and buy a house in Tianyi Prefecture, how can I say that it will cost millions. Coupled with the school's expenses of more than 15,000 in that semester, who knows what the apex of more than 15,000 is.

Moreover, it is easy to go from thrift to luxury, and it is difficult to go from luxury to thrift.

Shi Zixi is rich now, and his expenses are gradually increasing, who knows that life will rot in the future. What a failure.

For his own comfortable and comfortable life, Shi Zixi will work hard to make money no matter what he says.

If you open a new comic when you have just finished it, you will more or less bring a lot of popularity to your new comics.

Such a simple truth, how could Shi Zixi not understand.

She's not a star cartoonist like Biting Cat, who can get to the second place on the list of new comics with just one word of comics, and wait for a while to open comics?

Although Shi Zixi is confident in her new comics, she will never do such a pure and meaningless death. "Well~~ That's it, so don't bother, I wish Teacher Ziyan's new comic is a big hit." The smile on Lu Jun's face froze for a moment, and then he still squeezed out a smile and said insincere words. "Well, thank you Ji Yan." Shi Zixi coped with it.

Seeing Lu Jun turn around and leave unhappily, she felt inexplicable in her heart. "I'm messing with you when I open a new comic to make money."

Shi Zixi couldn't figure out why Lu Jun changed his face when he heard that she was going to open a new comic this year.

Shaking off these depressions, Shi Zixi walked back to his corner position, looked at the award ceremony on the stage, and thought about how long it would take for these procedures to be completed. "What's the matter, what did you talk to Lu Jun about just now?" Jiang Yuan walked over and saw Shi Zixi eating crabs boringly. "It's nothing, the guy just asked me if I would draw a new comic this year." Shi Zixi took out a hand and wiped it on a tissue, moving the stool that was scattered on his right to the left.

Jiang Yuan came from the left. "Oh, that's a question I want to ask too." Jiang Yuan sat next to Shi Zixi, with a quiet fragrance.

Because she often gets along with girls, Shi Zixi is now used to it, and she doesn't have any unnatural looks. "I will definitely draw, editor-in-chief, you should know how poor I am." Shi Zixi continued to finish eating the crab in his hand, and he was not acting.

The red shell has been piled up a lot on the table, Shi Zixi still knows moderation, the girl's body is delicate, and she can't eat more seafood.

Otherwise, in the future, there will be times when her stomach hurts.

"I see." Jiang Yuan nodded, and then explained with a smile, "It is estimated that it is because of the "Rookie King", and Lu Jun is also a genius who has become famous in recent years.

Of course, there is no comparison to a genius like you who can win the Nebula Award for his first manga.

Originally, this Lu Jun was determined to win this year's rookie king, but he didn't expect to make a trip halfway. “

Jiang Yuan pointed at Shi Zixi and continued: "If you are only a novella, the popularity is not enough, and it is difficult to get the 'Rookie King'."

But if you open another comic, and the comic you open is still as popular as "Unheard of Flower Name", the 'rookie king' he is determined to win is probably hanging. ”

"Is the rookie king award important?" Shi Zixi asked.

"It's important to say it's important, and it's okay to say it's not important. There is definitely some distance compared with the Nebula Award, but this is a more folk and popular award.

In terms of popularity and breadth among readers, this 'newcomer king' is definitely a little more famous.

Moreover, Shenghua Empire, the annual 'newcomer king' of the comic industry, don't you think the name of this award sounds more domineering than the best newcomer award like the Nebula Awards? ”

"The Rookie King." Shi Zixi muttered to himself, and then echoed, "It does sound quite domineering, and it adds a string of honors to his name."

The winner of the Nebula Award, plus the newcomer king of the year, will become more famous comics in the future, receive more awards, and the later titles will be longer.

In the long run, this does seem to be a good idea. "The host introduces you on it, and then it says your name." Jiang Yuan jokingly imagined the scenarios that might arise in the future.

"There is actually nothing to introduce about the small awards, mainly the heavyweight awards." As he spoke, Shi Zixi naturally picked up the orange juice and prepared to take a sip.

However, Jiang Yuan, who was sitting next to Shi Zixi, noticed Shi Zixi's actions, and quickly snatched the cup from Shi Zixi's hand, and said worriedly: "Why do you eat seafood and drink orange juice." "What's wrong?" Shi Zixi looked at Jiang Yuan puzzled. "Orange juice has vitamin C in it, and vitamin C and seafood cannot be eaten together.

Hey~~ Blame me, I forgot to remind you when I saw these two foods. Jiang Yuan sighed helplessly, "How much orange juice have you drunk?" “

The shells of crabs and prawns were placed on the table, and Jiang Yuan could see them clearly. "I poured a glass, and I haven't finished it yet." Shi Zixi was also taken aback, wait for food poisoning. "That's all?" Jiang Yuan looked at the glass in his hand. "Hmm." "That's fine." Jiang Yuan also breathed a sigh of relief.

She stood up and said, "I'll make you a cup of black tea and drink it and then take you to the hospital for a check-up, you wait here." “

Black tea has the effect of promoting stomach decomposition in seafood. "In the future, before eating unfamiliar things, I should check the Internet to see the precautions." Jiang Yuan finally admonished, and then started to leave.
