"Is that really what Teacher Shen said?"

Yan Fei glanced at the editor-in-chief and team leaders who were holding a meeting behind the glass wall, and felt a little uneasy in her heart.

"What are you lying to? This is what Mr. Shen asked me to convey to you privately. ”

Wang Wenhong, who was standing at Yan Fei's table, lowered his voice and said softly.

Yan Fei rubbed her forehead, she was still quite confident in this comic, but when she heard Wang Wenhong's words from Shen Xin, she was suddenly a little unsure.

"What else does Teacher Shen say?" Yan Fei was more anxious.

"Said a lot...... The main thing is the difficulty of creation. Wang Wenhong pulled a chair from the side, "What Mr. Shen said is also obvious, this cartoon actually replaces language with action. It was a great test of the author's storyboard, so Mr. Wang gave the storyboard a score of 16. This mode is like a pantomime - a good pantomime is easy to attract die-hard fans, but every word has to rely on storyboards instead of language expression, and the difficulty of creation will increase exponentially. ”

"One, two, three...... You can express it in this way, what about ten, twenty, hundred? You can't stay like this forever, can you? ”

Yan Fei nodded, "I also know these situations, but the most important thing is to get the serial qualification first." ”

"That's why Mr. Shen asked me to remind you not to rely too much on one model. A good idea can tell a good short story, but it can't hold up a long comic. ”

Yan Fei weighed the difficulty of creating comics, sighed, and had to say that Shen Xin's comments were very reasonable.

Not only in China, but even in the 11th area, there are few long-form comics created with action and storyboards, rather than language. Moreover, in a short period of time, this genre is really eye-catching, and after a long time, it is inevitable that readers will get tired of it.

"Teacher Shen's eyes are really poisonous." Yan Fei shook his head and said.

"That's not it, otherwise, I wouldn't have created 'Steel'." Wang Wenhong tapped the table twice and stood up from his seat, "By the way, Mr. Shen also asked me to tell you a word." ”

"Huh?"

"The pace and style of the comic is good, and he likes it." Wang Wenhong bared his teeth and smiled.

Yan Fei laughed dryly, Shen Xin's approval of this comic just means that the quality of this comic is good, but it is not sure whether it can be recognized by readers.

The discussion time in this meeting was not too long, because Shen Xin directly scored these works, so the editor-in-chief and team leader of "Comic Future" and "Juvenile Future" discussed more purposefully.

The four comics that were shortlisted were definitely related to Shen Xin's judgment, but those scores were not the only basis for judging.

The reason for this is that the judges pay more attention to the quality of the work, but the editorial department has to consider the market.

As a result, websites and magazines often publish works that are very routine - don't editors know that these works are serious?

Know. But these works also really sell for money.

At the end of the day, a magazine is a commercial organization with the primary purpose of making money.

Yan Fei's eyes were staring at the computer's display, but her thoughts flew to the conference room.

The people sitting on either side of the conference table have their own opinions, and they have their own opinions.

Fortunately, there were not too many works that made people feel entangled, and the meeting only lasted for more than an hour before it ended, and the editors-in-chief and team leaders of the two magazines came out of the conference room one after another.

After sending off the editors of "Young Future", Shang Haozhi turned around and told Yan Fei that "Cat Back to School" would be published in the last issue of "Young Future" in December.

The last installment?

Yan Fei and Wang Wenhong looked at each other and were surprised.

The order in which these four short comics are published is according to the order approved by the editorial department.

The editors-in-chief think that the works that will be popular will definitely be placed in the first place, because the magazine also wants to ask for good luck and get off to a good start.

So, everyone is not optimistic about "Cats Back to School"?

"It's not that people don't like this short story, it's that the magazine has never had this kind of comic. Because of some maverick flavor, if it weren't for Mr. Shen giving the only 80 points, this comic would probably have been abandoned. Team leader Li Junwen walked up to Yan Fei and explained.

In the end, it's still not optimistic.

Yan Fei bit her lip and didn't make a sound.

Since you want to judge the merits of the manga by readers' votes, let's look at the final votes, right?

Really good works will not be buried.

Yan Fei was a little angry in her heart.

……

Approaching December, Duoman also announced the competition rules of the second "Golden Brush" Award.

Considering that the first contest was affected by the "swiped votes" incident, the editorial department of Duoman also paid more attention to the rules of the second competition.

First of all, the amount of the "Golden Brush" award was lowered, from 5 million to 3 million.

When the authors saw this rule, they were all saddened.

The decreasing amount of money is equivalent to 2 "silver brush" awards.

However, even if it is less than 2 million yuan, there is no doubt that the "Golden Brush" award is still the highest award in China.

is like "Steel Forge ", which won the "Best Feature of the Year" in the "Comic Festival" not long ago, but the money in hand is only 500,000.

The good news is that the "Golden Brush" award will no longer be vacant, and a grand prize of 3 million will be awarded every year.

In addition, the number of "Silver Brush Awards" has been reduced to 3 from 5.

The total prize money of the "Golden Brush" award has been reduced by 40%.

The details of the next participation in the event were also announced.

First of all, the cycle of one "Golden Brush" award is two years.

From December of the first year to November of the second year, this period is the submission period, and all the submitted works during this period are eligible to participate in this year's "Golden Brush" Award; The voting period is from December of the second year to September 30 of the third year.

According to the level of the member's account, the member has 1-3 recommendation votes, and one IP address can only vote for one work in one month, and the number of votes per month will be cleared.

Excluding the months with the highest and lowest votes, the other eight months will be averaged, and the top 10 will enter the second stage, and the winners will be announced in November.

At the same time, after the deadline of the previous submission period, the next submission period will start to accept submissions, and the follow-up process will continue to be this process.

That is to say, the work can be submitted at any time, but it must be serialized for at least nearly a year to have a chance to win the Golden Brush Award, and the month with the highest number of votes is removed to avoid swiping votes. The average number of votes for eight months is to ensure the stability of the work.

After these rules came out, cartoonists were restless again.

In contrast, the rules of the second session are stricter, and at the same time, some authors who want to be opportunistic are also eliminated, so that the participating authors can focus more on the works themselves.
