Chapter 563: The Grand Prize Announced
At the end of September, the entire comic book circle was agitated.
As the highest prize in China, the selection results of the "Golden Brush" award have attracted the attention of many people.
The total bonus is 10 million, and the "Golden Brush" pays 5 million, which are all cash, even if taxes are paid, it is still enough for many people to spend half their lives.
In addition, there are 5 "Silver Brush" awards of 1 million.
People live either for fame or money, without exception.
But many people doubt, will Duoman really send these 5 million?
This is where everyone cares about the most.
After all, in the original selection rules of Duoman.com, the 5 million grand prize can be vacant.
It won't be a gimmick, draw a big pie and let other people watch the cake to satisfy their hunger, right?
However, the first one, no matter what, should have 5 million, right?
On September 30, at 12 noon, the grand prize was finally announced.
In order to avoid a large number of readers and authors in a short period of time, Duoman.com announced the list of winners on the official website, Weibo and Manjia.com.
There were a total of 4 winners, three of whom won the "Silver Brush" award and one person who won the "Golden Brush" award.
Although the "Golden Brush" award did not take out 10 million yuan, the bonus of 7 million yuan was also overjoyed by many people, especially the "Golden Paintbrush" with the highest prize will be listed, which is the point.
Any cartoonist, if it weren't for this award, would definitely not pay attention to the "Golden Brush" award, which shows that Duoman.com did not draw cakes to satisfy hunger.
The three works that won the "Silver Brush" award ranked in the top three in the recommended vote list, while the comic that won the "Golden Brush" award ranked fifth.
Those who have paid attention to the "Golden Paintbrush" award know that although this award is not allowed to be swiped privately, official swiping is allowed, that is to say, the top few works, just the "operating expenses" are a lot of expenses, and more than half of the bonuses must be put in.
But the results tell everyone that a high ranking of comics does not guarantee a grand prize.
The works that won the "Golden Brush" award are also well deserved, but the style of painting is more peculiar, basically through the lines, outlining a comic, rarely using dot paper, the cartoonist's painting skills, through the tip of the pen and the drawing paper, reflected vividly.
The name of the comic is "Dream Fairy", which tells the story of a Xiucai who inadvertently saved a fairy, and the fairy gave Xiucai a elixir in order to thank Xiucai, and after taking it, Xiucai can dream about what will happen in the future at night.
With this advantage, Xiucai has risen to the top and made steady progress.
This comic is of a very high standard in terms of rhythm and drawing skills, and it does widen the gap between other comics.
From this, those who pay attention to the entire award can judge three points: first, as long as it can enter the top ten, it does not need to be too high, and the second stage is determined by the expert group; Second, the quality of the work must be extremely high, take "Dream Fairy" as an example, this comic must be better than other works, so it can win the final "Golden Brush" award; Third, the entire award is still based on quality, otherwise there will not be two empty places for "silver brushes", but directly awarded "gold brushes".
This result points out the direction for the next year's entries - don't think about something weird and messy, and don't use too many crooked brains, and doing a good job of comics is the right way.
The second "Golden Brush" award still starts in December, and due to the "swiping of votes" incident, the rules need to be reformulated, and the new rules will be announced in December.
Cartoonists who are interested in the next "Golden Brush" Award, seeing this news, are all grinding their fists and ready to show their talents.
In contrast, the comic festival is a little cold, after all, the "Best Long-Form Comics Award" with the highest prize money is only a few hundred thousand, and even the prize money of the "Silver Brush" award is not comparable.
As for the difficulty of winning the award - "Best Feature" "Steel" is far ahead, and other works have no chance at all.
In a pitch-black room, only the pen display and display screen are on, and the girl bites the nail of her thumb and stares straight at the four works on the screen.
"No...... No...... There is no ......"
The girl muttered to herself, repeating two words.
Her gaze kept sweeping across the screen, but there was still no Brawl Dancer.
I don't know how long it took for her to finally muster up the courage to open the Penguin and hit the keyboard.
"Momo, I'm sorry, I didn't win the grand prize, and I disappointed your expectations and name."
"Those are small things, and they are never as important as you."
"However, it cost you an extra 40,000 yuan......"
"Don't worry, I haven't paid you much for a bag."
When the girl saw this line of words, she immediately stretched her brows and smiled.
However, since it didn't pass, this matter will be put down first. Anyway, the story is almost over, so be sure to draw a good comic, don't deal with it, and you should also take a good rest, you may be tired afterwards. I took a look, and from the second December, we are going to prepare. ”
"Well, I miss you—"
"Me too."
After typing these three words, the boy stretched his muscles.
"In this way, high-quality comics are the ones that win awards...... You have to think about it. The boy touched his chin and fell into deep thought.
Although he lost a sum of money, it was acceptable to him.
It's like investing, how can you make a lot of money from the first start? Always try slowly.
If you fail the first time, then try the second time, anyway, he has time.
……
After the announcement of the "Golden Brush" award, it attracted the attention of many fans. But only two or three days later, another news quickly spread throughout the comic circle - the animation of "Steel" will be released on October 5.
The inside of the editorial office has long been a mess.
No matter how good the results of "Steelcore" were before, it was not the pinnacle of "Steel" after all, but after the animation was released, it was completely different - what kind of performance the manga can have, or what kind of heights "Steelcore" can reach, will soon be revealed.
It is no exaggeration to say that whether "ComicFuture" can overwhelm other magazines in the future, as well as multiman.com, all depends on the performance of the "Steel" animation after its release.
However, most people feel that the results should not be too bad.
In the month of the release of Volume 13 (with "Signposts of the Soul"), "Steelcore" exceeded 800,000 copies, which is already a very exaggerated number, and many signature manga with anime releases may not be able to reach this number.
The more people in the company take it for granted, the greater the pressure on Wang Wenhong.
A week before the release of the "Steel Forge" animation, he ran all over the bookstore in Nanjiatan, handing out promotional posters and asking about the situation.
These should be sales jobs, but how can he sit down?
The publication and printing of the 14th volume of "Steel Forged" is also in full swing, with an initial edition of 1.5 million copies.
In terms of sales, it is enough to see the magazine's confidence in "Steel Forge".
TV stations and websites take turns broadcasting the PV of "Steel Forged", and bookstores, supermarkets and common means of transportation are also plastered with posters of "Steel Forged".
The number of posts related to "Steel" on the forum is increasing day by day.
Although "Steel" is still in the plot of "The Rebellion of Ishvar", the overwhelming advertising has brought a large number of readers back to this comic.
As time passed, the "Steel" anime was finally released.
