Chapter 189: Selected Works

In the end, Enma Sakura did not refuse to be edited by Koji Yoshida to send her a sample and take a look at her new work.

Her confident appearance made Koji Yoshida feel certain in his heart, and he only felt that this genius girl cartoonist was rare and did not delay in creation, which made Koji Yoshida feel very good.

I don't know why, Koji Yoshida always has a premonition that he will meet that kind of genius manga artist who is particularly pitiful and will stop publishing at every turn......

The reason why Enma Sakura has such a lot of confidence is naturally that she has too much inventory in her head.

It is impossible to be original, it is impossible to be original in this life, and you can only rely on borrowing and adaptation to get mixed up in the comic industry......

Before she painted her new works and hit the "Tezuka Reward", she had already obtained the previous "selected works" as a reference through Koji Yoshida, but she hadn't seen them yet.

Now, she has read through all of these "selected works" with an astonishing reading speed.

Then Enma Sakura knew what kind of works the judges of the "Tezuka Prize" favored, and why this "Tezuka Prize", the highest award, had been absent for so many years.

It turns out that in order to reflect its own compulsion, this "Tezuka Reward" prefers the kind of more artistic works, like the kind of short comics with outstanding painting and straightforward and interesting, at most it can only be "admitted".

As for the level of "masterpiece", it is for those newcomer cartoonists who are not good at painting, but the plot is good and has great potential.

So although this "Tezuka Award" is claimed to be a newcomer award on the surface, in fact, it is very good for a pure rookie cartoonist to get a "masterpiece" level.

Of course, if you are a truly talented manga artist, who is excellent at drawing and can be particularly interesting in whatever she draws, then it is not surprising to get an "admission selection".

However, "selection", the highest level of award, really does not rely on the interesting and commercial nature of the work, but attaches more importance to artistry.

This is also why the "selected" winners of the "Tezuka Award" will encounter the so-called "Tezuka Award curse", and often after they are "selected" for the Tezuka Award, they will not be able to paint works that are really popular and popular.

If you think about it, you will find that they can't make a big seller, which is really normal!

This is like the Internet industry, let those authors who are young in their bones, force them to write Xiaobaiwen, they can write those genius Internet writers who are born to write Xiaobaiwen, it's strange!

And if they continue to write literary works, of course, they may also succeed, but when it comes to the audience, they are not as good as Xiaobaiwen after all.

In the comic industry, the cartoonists who can be selected for the "Tezuka Award" are more or less literate, and the most famous of them is probably the Inoue Yuhiko who painted "Slam Dunk".

He is also a rare "selected" winner, and later developed relatively well, but he eventually fell out with "Shonen Jump" because of the ending of "Slam Dunk", which led to the fact that there was no end to the national competition chapter of the animation later.

The reason why he fell out with the magazine is very simple, that is, he thinks that "youth should have regrets", but the magazine asked him to continue painting, at least he must paint Xiangbei to win the championship in the future, right?

As long as the popularity does not decrease, you can even keep up with "Football Player", and after dominating Dongying, you can go to the world and play in the NBA!

As a result, Inoue Yuhiko just didn't do it, this is his persistence as a pursuing cartoonist, and it can also be said that he is ill......

In the end, he was completely banned by "Shonen Jump" and could only go to other comic magazines to continue drawing, but after "Slam Dunk", Inoue Yuhiko never drew a more influential blockbuster.

Perhaps this can also be classified as the "Tezuka Reward Curse"?

Anyway, many of the "Tezuka Awards" were selected as manga artists, and they all developed well later, such as Yoshihiro Tomiyatsu, and it is indeed a miracle that he can always let "Shonen Jump" endure his frequent closures.

Although there is no Yoshihiro Fujian in this world, there must be creators like him, and maybe he will be the same editor as Enma Sakura.

This is a great exercise for Koji Yoshida's ability to urge drafts.

After Yama Sakura finished studying the style of the selected works of "Tezuka Reward", she already knew what kind of work she should learn from and adapt.

She didn't take the material from the ready-made manga works in her head, but directly chose to adapt the famous book "The Dancing Girl of Izu" that did not exist in this small world into a manga.

"The Dancing Girl of Izu" is Yasunari Kawabata's early masterpiece and famous work, but unfortunately there is not even a shadow of Yasunari Kawabata in this small world, but there are writers who are also famous for relying on the style of "mourning".

In the world of Earth, "The Dancing Girl of Izu" has been put on the screen 6 times. The film shows the hazy and innocent emotions of the first love between young boys and girls.

This book gives readers a sense of freshness, purifies the reader's heart, and brings people into an ethereal and beautiful aesthetic world.

Enma Sakura chose this work to impact the "Tezuka Reward" to be selected, and I have to say that there are some fouls, and it simply doesn't give other competitors a way to live at all.

However, this work is indeed very suitable for her beautiful and dreamy painting style, and she can also convey the texture to readers 100%!

Its story is also very simple, and the ending is a tragedy.

That's what the judges eat!

The "Dancing Girl of Izu" painted by Enma Sakura also refers to the movie of the heroine played by Momoe Yamaguchi.

The plot of the movie is like this-

The protagonist, Kawashima, is a twenty-year-old high school student with a withdrawn temperament.

Coming to a high school in Tokyo, he took advantage of the summer vacation before the start of school to travel to Izu.

On a trip to Izu, I met a group of entertainers who were touring in the countryside and traveled with them.

He met Kaoru, a beautiful dancer around the age of fourteen, and fell in love with her.

He was attracted by the charming appearance of the dancer, and even had the evil idea of possessing her.

But he did not want this flawless beauty to be tainted and damaged.

He was troubled by his irrepressible impulses, and even more anxious about the possibility of a girl's insults at night.

When he saw her running towards him with her naked girl's pure body in the public bath for men and women, he felt infinite relief from her innocent demeanor.

In the interaction between the two, smoke gradually gave birth to true feelings. But the two can only be passers-by in each other's lives.

A few days later, the youth travel fee ran out and had to be separated from the group of artists.

Before leaving, the dancer who came to see him off was silent, and there was unspeakable discomfort in her heart. The boat sailed, and the figure of the dancing girl faded away and disappeared.

He lay in bed in frustration, tears streaming down his face.
