"What's the relationship?" Shen Xin was puzzled.

"This is related to the selection conditions of the 'Newcomer Award'." Yan Fei took a sip of coffee, "There are four conditions for the selection of the Newcomer Award, one of which is that the entries must be published in more than 30 words, and a single book must be issued. ”

"Chapter 30? Well, if it's a monthly magazine, it's really impossible. Shen Xin nodded, the monthly magazine can only publish a maximum of 12 words a year, "What about the next three conditions?" ”

"First, the first single volume of the works for the newcomer award must be released from the beginning of July of the current year to the end of June of the next year. Second, the time of publication of the first episode of the work and the release time of the first volume of the single book shall not exceed half a year, and third, the manga artist has not released a single book of long-form manga before this time period, and the manga artist is under the age of 30. ”

"In other words, even if there are collaborators, cartoonists can participate in the selection, right?" Shen Xin asked rhetorically.

"That's right."

"Chen Zijiao is also eligible?" Shen Xin said again.

Yan Fei nodded.

Shen Xin frowned, Chen Zijiao's strength in "Weekly Dreamer" is already very good, if you want to win against him, you also need to choose the reference comics, and now another Ye Hexu has been added...... Although "Crime" did not meet the selection criteria due to the number of journals. But no one dares to pack tickets, Ye Hexu will not launch new works in the remaining months.

Yan Fei saw that Shen Xin had something on her mind, hesitated for a moment, and continued: "The prize money of the 'Newcomer Award' is not much, but for cartoonists, the Newcomer King is a very heavy award, because most people only have one chance to win. If you can win the 'Newcomer Award', it will be of great benefit to your future development. I don't think you want to stay at Weekly New World for the rest of your life, do you? ”

"Huh? Sister Yan, it's the first time I've seen an editor push his author to another magazine. Shen Xin said with a smile.

"I certainly don't want you to leave, but cartoonists are creatures looking for dreams, and if it's District 11, that dream is called Weekly Leap. In China, the dream is the 'three major magazines'. If you can snatch the 'rookie king' from others, the 'three major magazines' will definitely throw an olive branch. Yan Fei's eyes were shining, and she was very confident in Shen Xin.

"However, the opponent is very strong, and I can't guarantee that I can win against Chen Zijiao. If Ye Hexu also draws a cartoon before the end of the year, it will be difficult to run for election. Shen Xin sighed.

"By the way, what about the name you said on the phone earlier?" Yan Fei asked.

Shen Xin shook his head again and again, clutching the shoulder bag next to his seat, "No, the new name can't be compared with Su Han's two scripts...... Far from it. I'll reconsider when I get back, right? I'm sorry. ”

Originally, Shen Xin still had some confidence in his name, but after reading the comics of Ye Hexu and Chen Zijiao, he could be sure that this name had no chance of winning these two works.

"Uh...... That's right. Yan Fei was also a little frustrated, but then she thought of one more thing, so she took out a thick stack of reader questionnaires from her shoulder bag, "The questionnaire came out, and the turnout rate of "Love Equation" is one of the most popular comics in the history of "New World", which is beyond my imagination. ”

"Huh...... So high? Shen Xin blinked, "Is the statistics wrong?" ”

"My first thought was the same as yours, so I found hundreds of questionnaires to find out why, and guess what?"

Shen Xin shook his head, he is not Jin Tianyi, how can he know what readers will write on the questionnaire.

"See for yourself, right?" Yan Fei handed the reader questionnaire to Shen Xin.

It is impossible for readers to vote for "Love Equation", however, the readers who voted more or less left a few sentences.

"It's been a long time since I've seen a comic like this, and I feel a few years younger."

"It seems that I have found the feeling of first love again."

"Oops, isn't that what I used to do? How does the author know? (Laughter)"

"I'm about to graduate, and I'm a little sad when I see this comic......"

"Next year, I don't know if I will have a chance to confess to him......"

……

He took another look at the age composition, most of them were distributed between 15 and 25 years old, and the ratio of men and women was relatively harmonious, with boys only slightly more than girls, which is rare in shonen comics.

"Hey, Sister Yan...... This is ......" Shen Xin roughly flipped through it, his face a little embarrassed.

"Readers find resonance...... Although it is very accidental, there are two types of people who are very interested in your comics, one is those who have graduated, and when they see this comic, they empathize; The other part of the people are high school students, and they either yearn for this comic or are melancholy, but no matter what, they will have a part of the intersection with the content of the comic. There is a certain realism to this comic. Yan Fei explained.

Hey?

Shen Xin scratched his head in embarrassment, feeling like a blind cat had caught a dead mouse.

Before he drew the comics, he had never thought that there would be such an effect.

"I suggest that, if possible, the style of serialized comics, preferably be similar to it. Maybe you can create a comic that is no less than "Crumbling". Yan Fei said.

"Huh? Still want to draw this type? Shen Xin's eyebrows jumped twice.

He and "love" are incompatible.

"That's right, you should want to win the rookie award too, right?" Yan Fei asked.

"That's right."

As Yan Fei said, if he really wins the newcomer award, his road to comics may be much smoother.

I can't even use the comics that don't use the earth this time.

"That's right,As for the color page at the head of the volume,It's still the condition we said before,You have to hand over the name that can give full play to the advantages of color comics." Yan Fei said seriously.

"I see."

Shen Xin sighed in his heart, even if it was a copyist, it didn't seem to be so easy.

After saying goodbye to Yan Fei, Shen Xin's mind was a mess.

When I got home, Xi Muhan hadn't come back yet, Shen Xin washed the handle, and today I can make the long-trained egg fried rice, so that the little girl can have a long experience.

was busy until eight o'clock, and Shen Xin was done.

Looking at the golden frangipani mixed with the rice, he felt a little proud in his heart.

Kohei Sojin in the entrance exam of the Far Moon School Park,The egg fried rice cooked is nothing more than that, right?

Shen Xin picked up the spoon, tried a bite, and spit out the rice the next moment.

"Phew, it's salty...... No, it's the salt that hasn't been stirred well. Why did you fail again, it's obviously beautiful and delicious. Shen Xin looked crazy.

Such a salty egg fried rice must not be seen by Xi Muhan, otherwise, the image he has established for so long will be completely gone.

"Brother Xin, what are you doing?"

"Huh?"

Shen Xin hurriedly turned around, Xi Muhan was carrying a white pull-up bag, looking at him curiously.
