Chapter 604: No Promise
Most magazines will have awards, and for some magazines with small sales or limited influence, this is really just entertaining themselves. But even so, there is nothing to criticize, and the selection of awards can be regarded as a year-end inventory, which is quite meaningful.
Although it is only an internal award of the magazine, it will also be very important if the influence is enough, such as "Jianghu Night Talk", which can win the award represents an achievement in the field of martial arts, which work is selected as the best work, it must be the best work of the year in martial arts novels.
This qiē is only because "Jianghu Night Talk" is the leader of the field, and its subordinates are the best writers and works, so it can represent the entire field. It's just that now martial arts novels have entered a dead end, and fantasy novels have begun to emerge, from the top to the stage of still growing, so even if the selection is selected, it feels that the weight is not as heavy as before.
As long as you are at the top stage of the industry, it is the same, no matter what genre it is, and for example, the new concept essay contest of "Sprout". The former "Science Fiction Sky" can also do this, but because of the previous reasons, it has now completely degenerated, and it doesn't mean anything.
The sales of "Solo Singer" are first-class and influential enough, but the awards set up are worse in comparison, mainly because the content of the magazine is too miscellaneous and there are all kinds of genres. No matter what type of work is published, it is considered a masterpiece in the genre, but it is too miscellaneous to represent a field.
has always joked that it is a comprehensive magazine, and now the drawbacks have finally appeared, but Zhang Qiu regrets that they don't care. I didn't think that the award would be so weighty. Not to mention that he has no ambitions, he can even say that he is very casual. By the time it was time to decide, the awards had not yet been decided.
Internal inventory, whether rigorous or casual. It's all their own business, and no matter how it is, others are not qualified to make irresponsible comments, so it doesn't matter at all. Of course, although things can be said in this way, they don't say that everything is casual and perfunctory, at least in the selection, they are very strict.
20XX Solo Singing Troupe Comics New Work Award, the selected work "Angel's Rhythm", the reason for selection: The setting is novel and interesting campus love works, which are rare in domestic comics......
The selected works are the award-winning works, and the admission selection is the nominated works. Because there are not many comic manuscripts in the first place, and they are more demanding, the result is that all the works were nominated, and the best one was finally selected. Zi Cai Xina and Ye Qingqing spent a lot of time writing down the reasons for being selected and losing in detail.
Starting from the overall style of painting to the details, the plot, etc., the advantages and disadvantages are written in detail, and it is not only to explain what should be awarded and why other works are not selected, but also to guide almost everything in detail, the author can see very easily which deficiencies should be rectified, and others can also understand what mistakes should be avoided when creating.
For these authors. These comments are even more important than the award itself, the latter is just an honor, while the former can benefit you immensely. Ye Qingqing and Zicai Nobuna, as the top cartoonists, are almost equivalent to teaching knowledge and experience by words and deeds, and you can imagine how important it is. No one doubts the authority of a review.
For the selection of this award, Ye Qingqing and Zi Cai Xinnai didn't have much entanglement, and when they were first submitted, they were eye-catching, and there were not many Chinese comics like campus love. Fewer excellent ones. In fact, if it weren't for this type, it is estimated that it would not be their turn. This was rejected by other comic magazines before it was redirected to them.
That's not to say that the editors of other magazines are blind and can't see the excellence of this work. The reason for rejection is also the type. The Celestial Empire's problem of early love is a fearful beast, and it is the most taboo topic for all students, even if they are already college students, their parents will tell them to study hard and not mess around.
The parents of the Celestial Empire are so strange, when they are in the most suitable environment for love, they always do not allow their children to fall in love, and then they will force their children to fall in love. This is still the case in college, not to mention that the setting of this work is high school, and this is not allowed at all in front of the college entrance examination.
In fact, after a year or two in college, they have reached the legal age of marriage, and women can get married at the age of 20. However, no one will think about this, and the overall environment is such that comic magazines are also shy away from this kind of theme.
Zhang Qiu regrets that they are more confident, they are not worried about the problems that other magazines are worried about, and some small problems may be fatal in other magazines, but if the relevant departments want to move them, they will weigh and weigh them, this is the influence. With the current status of the few of them, no one can really find fault casually.
So this work they published, and it has also been liked by many readers, and it can be seen from the work that the author still has a lot of potential to tap, when writing comments, Ye Qingqing and Zicai Xinna also have the mentality of discovering talents, and they are also addicted to guidance.
However, Ye Qingqing just said: "Comics are called comic awards, novels are called novel awards, and then directly use the magazine title to add another year, the awards are already so casual, can the comments not be written comprehensively?" Even if outsiders are not qualified to make irresponsible remarks, readers will complain if they do. ”
"You've had an epiphany now, you were going to die or live if you were asked to do this." Hongdou exposed Ye Qingqing, she was reluctant to do this at first, but now she is already enjoying it.
"How do I know that you all haven't thought about it seriously at this point?" Ye Qingqing rolled her eyes, but she also had a share in this responsibility, and the task of the award was not assigned to anyone to do, and everyone could not escape the blame.
"I think it's a good decision now." Zhang Qiuxi said: "Don't worry about the name, there are more issues to think about, such as how much bonus should be given, and how to design the trophy." ”
"It's better to select the award-winning works first, trophies and the like can be made up later, if you delay the time, you don't need to evaluate this year, and you can leave it for next year to consider." Because it was a monthly magazine, delaying one issue was a month's delay, and a year was only twelve months, and Shangguan Jin was skeptical about their efficiency in considering things.
Zi Cai Xinna nodded, and then said: "I agree with Shangguan's statement, but our selection has ended, and each work has been given a detailed review, Angel's Rhythm is the best new work, as for the best work of the year, you don't think which work can take on this award, right?" ”
In addition to the 20XX Solo Singing Troupe Comics New Work Award, there should have been an award for the Comics Awards, that is, the selection of the best works of the year, but except for "Warlock's Sky" and "Machine Qì Cat", the rest of the works really don't meet their standards, and if you want to select it, it's only the tallest of the short, so it's better to be vacant.
Only then can the award selection be more rigorous, so that it is worth being happy and the author will strive for it. If you can win an award casually, it's as easy as buying vegetables at the wet market, then who cares? So when Zi MMS Xinna and Ye Qingqing said that they wanted to be vacant, everyone else had no opinion.
"Anyway, you two are judges, of course you two have the final say." Zhang Qiuxi expressed his support.
The vacancy of the comic award is mainly due to the fact that there are too few works, and the number of works and the overall quality of novels are much stronger than those of comics, so there is no vacancy. The 20XX Solo Singer Novel New Work Award and the 20XX Solo Singer Novel Award are also famous for both awards.
Now they have set two awards, and they may add them in the future, but not necessarily, it mainly depends on whether they need it or not. Even an award needs to grow and improve slowly, and the Nobel Prize is like this, in fact, Zhang Qiuxi also thought of a special award, awarded to "special" works, it is difficult to say how it is a special situation that does not appear, and there is no such special work now, so I simply ignore it, and sometimes talk about it in the future.
Zhang Qiuxi regrets that their awards only evaluate works, not people, and the number of candidate works is not fixed, if there are more works that meet the threshold, there will be more candidate works, and vice versa, if there is none, it will also be vacant. Regardless of how many candidates there are, only one will win the final award, and of course there may be no candidate work. is still the same sentence, not compromised, rather lack than abuse.
There are five new works that are selected for the new work award, one is awarded, and three works are selected for the big award, and the awards are also awarded. Under this model, in fact, the admission selection can be regarded as a rare honor, but it still takes time to form this concept, the criteria for candidates and the criteria for winning awards come from Zhang Qiuxi's judgment, which is qualitative by their standards, and what kind of standard is it that others can't understand, which seems a little too subjective.
If it weren't for an internal award, it would be a bit inappropriate to do this, and it would be somewhat criticized, and the fairness is very questionable, so naturally it will not be authoritative. In this case, others will not say anything, but they are also trying to make others understand, even so they still do it very carefully, in fact, the selection is still very authoritative.
Like Ye Qingqing and Zicai Xinnai, Zhang Qiuxi, Hongdou and Shangguan Jin also wrote detailed reasons and comments for each of the selected and unsuccessful works, although there is one more judge, but the workload is still larger. But the most tiring thing is Li Yue, who is an atypical judge, commenting on works from the perspective of a simple reader, including novels and comics. (To be continued......)
