Chapter 145: The First Tianxia Society Comics Awards

ps: It's been more than half a month, my body is not well, my head hurts when I code words, cold sweat is rising, and I went to the hospital today to get two bottles of drips, so the update is a little late, I hope you will forgive me, so as not to worry about you!

The Tianxia Society Comic Award is a comic award specially designed by Tianxia Society for newcomers and its cartoonists, from bottom to top, it is divided into excellent works, quasi-selection and selection, aiming to make a name for the world, and not for profit. As long as the initial approval of the guò is recognized, it can be published in the sp1endent manga magazine, and readers can vote to determine the ranking, which can accumulate a certain amount of fame for each work, which can be said to kill two birds with one stone.

However, if you want to become a masterpiece, you must pass the level of judges from all over the world, and often most of the works end in failure due to quality reasons, and very few can become masterpieces. Moreover, not every edition of the Comics Awards will have an entry and selection of works, which mainly depends on the quality.

Not only that, but the works selected for the Tianxia Society Comics Award can only be short stories, and the highlights of this work are publicized with a draft of one issue, so as to attract the attention of those comic fans.

Zhao Chen has seen the names of those cartoonists, and wants to find out the future well-known cartoonists from them, but it is a pity that the Tianxia Society Comic Award has just been established after all, and there is not much fame, and there are not many newcomers and cartoonists who participate. And what made Zhao Chen laugh the most was that there was a work of Gangchang Aoyama in it, and the most important thing was that it was ruthlessly brushed down by the judges, and even "sp1endent" couldn't get in.

At this time, Aoyama Gomasa had just entered university, and now he is studying manga creation under Yutaka Abe, a senior of the University Manga Research Association. However, because Abe Yutaka is dead, that is, the level of an assistant, and the strength of Aoyama Gomasa, who has just created, is not even as good as an assistant, and it belongs to a novice among novices, so the quality of the work voted for the world society can be imagined. The judges who watched it ruthlessly brushed it down, and it was very sad.

However, in order to be able to win him over to Qingshan Gangchang in the future, Zhao Chen had to call him to encourage him, so as not to hit his self-confidence too much. After all, only Zhao Chen knew it in his heart. Due to his arrival, many people will be influenced by themselves, and among them, the cartoonists who entered the Tianxia Society undoubtedly had the greatest influence.

In addition to Gangchang Aoyama, Zhao Chen also found a few names that are somewhat familiar, and these people will also be cartoonists with names and surnames in the future, but their achievements are relatively ordinary. However, most of these future cartoonists have also been brushed down, which shows that the comic awards of the Tianxia Society are strict, and if you want to get a preliminary pass, you must improve the quality.

And because there are too few newcomer cartoonists who have submitted, after the works are selected, it will be worth more than ten, which can be said to be quite few. Especially compared to the Tezuka Award of the same nature.

The thickness of the ten short stories is not even up to "Shonen soRa", and it is dwarfed by the professional manga magazine of the Tezuka Award, and the thickness gap is doubled.

Fortunately, this is the first Tianxia Society Comics Award after all, and it is very good to have more than ten works recognized by many judges, which is in addition to the rising reputation of the Tianxia Society, the most important thing is the high prize money and the opportunity to serialize in "Young soRa".

Zhao Chen has seen these preliminarily approved comic works. The current artists are basically above the standard, and there are various plots and themes, which can also attract some readers.

After the initial approval, these short stories were published in the "sp1endent" comic magazine, and were distributed to various parts of the island country using the huge sales channels of Tianxia Sheyue.

This "sp1endent" manga magazine is not for profit, but mainly to build the reputation of Tianxia Society and attract many new manga artists, because the price is not high, which is just over 100 yen, so that more readers will choose to buy it.

"Hey, what's this comic magazine. I haven't seen it before, how can I put it here? ”

Early in the morning, in a roadside bookstore, a comic book fan is looking for his 'prey' in the comic section, holding two comic magazines in his hands. They are "Shonen Jump" and "Shonen soRa", and next to "Shonen soRa", there is an unknown manga magazine that has never been seen before.

The reason why this comic fan is attracted is mainly the relationship between the cover of this comic magazine and the price, needless to say, the cover was specially created by Tianxia Society in order to start this comic book award. And this comic magazine is obviously not much thinner than "Shonen soRa", but the price is only half of the former.

It was because of these two factors that this comic book fan picked up this comic magazine called "sp1endent" out of curiosity.

"No wonder it's so cheap, it turned out to be the work of the World Society Comics Award!"

The cartoonist turned the page and it dawned on him, but then his eyes widened as if he had seen something that surprised him.

"Zhao Chen's big name, there are Zhao Chen's big works!"

This comic fan suddenly became excited, although he is not a fan of Zhao Chen's comics, but Zhao Chen's comics he thinks are rare masterpieces, and when he saw Zhao Chen's new works appear, he was immediately excited, in his opinion, this seems to represent a good comic that can be used to beat time. As for Masami Cheda, who is behind Zhao Chen's name, she is sadly ignored by this comic book fan, this is the difference in fame.

"What, what's wrong with Zhao Chenda?" Maybe it was too excited, the comic fan muttered to himself, but was listened to by a comic fan who happened to be Zhao Chen next to him, and hurriedly asked, with some doubts on his face.

"Zhao Chen has a big new comic, you see, it's this "Wind Demon Kojiro"!"

"Let me see, it's really Zhao Chenda's work!"

As soon as Zhao Chen's comic fan saw Zhao Chen's name above, he was also excited, and then under the guidance of the comic fan, he also picked up a copy of "sp1endent" and couldn't wait to open it.

"It's a battle comic!" After reading the manga genre of "Wind Demon Kojiro", this manga fan was faintly even more excited, and then read it with relish.

Maybe it was the actions and demeanor of these two comic fans who betrayed them, and there were other comic fans who went to "sp1endent" to take a look, but as long as they saw the name on the author column of "Wind Demon Kojiro", they would choose to watch it attentively.

Maybe it's Zhao Chen's fame in the island country over the past year, even if he is not a fan of his comics, he knows that every comic he writes is a rare boutique, even if it is a work with others, without exception.

"It's pretty good, the painting is a little ordinary, but it's more suitable for this comic!"

After reading the short story created by "Wind Demon Kojiro", most of the manga fans who have read it have such an idea.

In other words, this kind of contest is used to collect comic works, which may be relatively small, but they often portray their respective highlights to attract comic fans to vote.

It is because of this relationship that comic fans who have read "sp1endent" often pay for it after they understand the significance of this magazine, in addition to taking it home and continuing to watch it, they plan to support those cartoonists, among whom Zhao Chen accounts for the majority. In addition to the fact that "Wind Demon Kojiro" is really good, Zhao Chen's fame is also the focus of it.

Of course, not all of the award-winning works of the Tianxia Society Comics Awards are decided by readers' votes, otherwise the more famous the cartoonist, the easier it will be to win. Readers' votes can only be regarded as a choice for the many judges, and the final decision is still up to these judges.

When the selection was conducted, Zhao Chen was the chairman of the committee, but when there were works to participate, it was inevitable that others would slander him behind his back, so he had to hand over the decision to other judges.

"Although there are my works in it, this is the first Tianxia Society Comics Award after all, and it should be fair and just, so we can't chill the hearts of other cartoonists! This time I won't be judging, it's up to you to decide! ”

When the work was selected, Zhao Chen said to the judges below that he naturally didn't care about this award, anyway, no matter whether "Wind Demon Kojiro" would be selected or not, it would still be serialized in the "Young SoRa" weekly when the next serialization meeting was held, even if it was selected, it would not make much sense to this work, at most it would only add some fame.

When many judges heard Zhao Chen say this, they breathed a sigh of relief in their hearts at the same time, with Zhao Chen's words, maybe there would be some partiality, but it was finally able to operate normally.

Soon, after the heated discussion of many judges, the awards of the first Tianxia Society Comics Award were finally released.
