Chapter 8 The issue of face
"Xiao Zhe, did you wake up? I must be hungry, and the takeout meal I ordered is about to be delivered......"
Kong Lan found the sleepy-eyed Meng Zhe, so he greeted with a smile.
"Oh......" Meng Zhe's mind was still a little confused, he rubbed his eyes and walked to the nearest copy editor, and saw that the other party was writing a solicitation copy-
'Chess Academy Award' Go Manga Contest Call for Submissions!
5,000 prizes! Waiting for you to get it!!
……
The upper line of words is the main topic of the copy, and the following award Yunyun is the subtitle.
'Chess Academy Award'?
This...... Be?
Meng Zhe, who has a messy brain, is now basically equivalent to a computer that has just been turned on and doing a self-test, and additional programs such as thinking have not yet been started by itself......
"Chess Academy Award, what is it?"
Since he doesn't know the truth, it is a matter of course for Meng Zhe to calmly ask questions about the curious baby.
"Heh, this chess academy award is the result of Xiao Zhe's hard work." Even though his eyes were bloodshot, Kong Lan still replied with a smile in high spirits.
Just when Meng Zhe wanted to ask for more details, art editor Song Guixu couldn't hold back his joy and hurriedly replied: "I really want to thank you Xiao Zhe for the establishment of this award!" You don't know...... At noon today, President Chen of the National Go Association, after watching the "Go Boy" that we worked all night last night, was quite satisfied and moved! ”
When he spoke, Song Guixu, who participated in the production of the comic last night, looked proud, and was as happy as if he had just won five million.
Heh, no wonder Sister Lan left this Song Guixu...... People with such a strong sense of collective honor must also be people who are willing to do things for the collective, right?
Meng Zhe, who was thinking like this, quickly figured out what happened after he fell asleep under Song Guixu's narration-
At about twelve o'clock, Chen Zude, the president of the Go Association, rushed to the small city, just like Song Guixu said, he was very satisfied with the sketch of "Go Boy".
Subsequently, under Kong Lan's skillful narration, Chen Zude learned that "Go Boy" was painted by Meng Zhe all night before he arrived...... In Kong Lan's story, Meng Zhe's rush was endowed with infinite sincerity, which made Chen Zude conclude that Meng Zhe was really working so hard to stimulate the children's interest in Go......
Subsequently, Chairman Chen saw Meng Zhe, who was tired and asleep on the table in the editing room, unable to wake up no matter how much he shouted.
The 12-year-old child has already created the very interesting "Chess Soul" before, and now he has created a "Go Boy" that meets the requirements...... How precious is that?!
Chen Zude remembers that in the first half of June, the "Reader" published an article about the formation of a transnational summer camp in Inner Mongolia by Chinese and Yueben's children, and as a result, Chinese children were pampered and Yuben's children had a tenacious style, and Chinese children were far inferior to Yueben's children. (Note 1)
At that time, Chen Zude was very concerned, and he was also worried about whether the generation of children, who are the majority of single children, can support the whole country in ten or twenty years.
But now, looking at Meng Zhe who was sleeping, Chen Zude was relieved - our only children in China are not all so pampered! Our only children in China also have amazing talents and hard-working!
With this sense of relief, Chen Zude made a decision, he decided to jointly launch a 'Chess Academy Cup' prize comic collection contest with Tianjiao Magazine in the name of the China Chess Academy!
Miss Kong Lan said that good comics have a huge impact on children's growth, and she even predicted that once "Chess Soul" and "Go" are published, they will definitely trigger a wave of enthusiasm for learning Go in the children's world!
Yes, our China is so big and so vast......
Therefore, there will definitely be a Go boy who is as talented as Jiang Liu'er in this little Meng Zhe's pen, right?
So, what's wrong with paying the reward for discovering a Go boy in advance to this little guy who uses comics to inspire children to become interested in Go?
This award, except for Meng Zhe, a child who is a genius in comics to the level of demons, who else can win it? Chen Zude firmly believes in this...... Moreover, with the copy of "Go Boy", Hui Yanjing can handle everything.
With such a good mood, Chen Zude drove away under the afterglow, and Chang Hao was left behind.
……
“…… That's basically the way it is. By the way, Xiao Zhe, you fell asleep on the table, but you were taken a lot of photos by a few reporters who came with President Chen! ”
After Song Guixu finished speaking, Kong Lan nodded and affirmed that what Song Guoxu said was everything, and then added as if he remembered something.
"Huh? Take a picture of me sleeping?! ”
Meng Zhe asked in surprise, he knew that his sleeping appearance would definitely not look good, and those reporters would be bad or something, if this was published...... Don't you lose face in front of the people of the whole country?
Meng Zhe can already imagine how others will introduce himself if he is a little famous in the future: "Ah, this ...... It is the author of "Chess Soul", which has been published in xxx newspapers, reprinted by many newspapers and magazines, and crawled on the table to sleep until his mouth was drooling......"
No, how do you think about this, how do you feel ashamed!!
"Sister Lan, those reporters are just filming for fun, right?"
Meng Zhe looked at Kong Lan pitifully, praying to hear an affirmative answer.
"I don't know about the others, but among them, Miss Xia Xiaoxuan of "Northern Chess Art" said that she would definitely write a report with photos when she went back...... Of the few reporters who came to report, she was the only one who read all of Xiao Zhe's comics seriously, and said that she liked each one very much. ”
Kong Lan shrugged her shoulders and said, although she didn't have much expectations for Xia Xiaoxuan - "Northern Chess Art" or something, it should belong to a more professional Go magazine, right? Meng Zhe drew Go comics, at most he could get a few crosses of the report, right?
"Wouldn't it?!"
Although it is a good thing to have a new follower, if this fan wants to post his embarrassing photos in a magazine......
"It's hard to say...... But next month we'll know. Well, let's put this question down first, Xiao Zhe, how about using this picture to make the cover of the "trial issue" of "Anime Boys"? Kong Lan replied casually, and then she handed Meng Zhe a drawing of a magazine with the name of 'Anime Boy' written on it, but only two simple cartoon characters on the cover.
Not at all!
When Meng Zhe looked at the final drawing, his first reaction was this.
Oh my God, if you take this kind of thing to make the cover of an anime magazine, the ghost will look at it?
"Redo! Must be redone! First of all, the four words "animation boy" should be three-dimensional and modern! Something to do is something that people won't forget if they see it! Secondly, the most important thing about anime magazines is the visual impact, so the best design scheme for the cover of anime magazines is to let the main characters of each serial comic that appear in this issue show their faces on the cover as much as possible, which is a very important means to attract readers! Moreover, the advantage of this is that after a few issues of the series, readers will be able to find our Anime Shonen in countless magazines at a glance......"
--- dividing line---
Note 1: "The competition of summer camps" caused people's first concern about the post-80s generation at that time, and it seems to be one of the 20 most influential articles in "Reader". The author of the essay probably also wants to inspire Chinese, but this article is suspected of creating a story for the sake of opinion - if it is a novel, it is understandable, but the problem is that it is dressed in the skin of a factual article.
