Chapter 274: Challenge
"Long time no see." Shen Xin said with a smile.
Speaking of which, it should have been exactly a year, and it is indeed a long time since I saw it.
"Good...... Long time no see. ”
Han Ye scratched his head, and then combed his hair behind his ears with his fingers.
"Why haven't I seen you submit lately?"
"Also...... It's not that I didn't vote, I just didn't pass. Han Ye lowered his head and clasped his fingers.
Li Jie looked at Han Ye, his scalp was a little numb.
Although he didn't have much impression of Han Ye, the level of the cartoonists Shen Xin knew was definitely not low.
"Su Han didn't give you the script?" Shen Xin asked.
"She? She is currently writing and has no plans to collaborate with cartoonists for the time being. Han Ye shook his head and said.
When Li Jie heard Shen Xin mention Su Han, he immediately knew Han Ye's identity, "You are Teacher Hopping?" ”
"Hmm."
Li Jie was surprised when he saw Han Ye admitting.
It was difficult for him to equate his excellent drawing skills with the long-haired young man in front of him.
"That'...... Your editor didn't give you comments or suggestions? Shen Xin said in surprise.
"I mentioned it too, but he put more energy into the new author." Han Ye was a little lost.
New author?
"Who is it?" Shen Xin wondered.
"Luo Zheng." Han Ye puffed out his cheeks, a little helpless, "Then again, my contract is about to expire." If I can't serialize, I don't know if the magazine will sign a contract with me. ”
Hey?
Shen Xin was a little confused, the world is really changing too fast.
Two years ago, Han Ye was still competing with him for the newcomer award, but two years later, Han Ye couldn't get the manuscript over.
However, Shen Xin didn't believe that "ComicFuture" would not give Han Ye a contract, Shang Haozhi had also invested heavily in order to dig him, and it was impossible to give up easily, at most, Han Ye's current situation was not too good.
"And what do you do?"
"I don't know...... I might check out other magazines, but before that, I might have a chance. Han Ye pouted, his cheeks bulging slightly.
Shen Xin saw Han Ye's depressed expression, and he couldn't help it.
"Come on...... However, Mr. Han, I think that if you cut your hair, it may help your mood, but it really can't, go to the comic exhibition or other places, and you may have new ideas. Shen Xin put forward his own suggestions.
Sometimes changing your mood can indeed bring unexpected gains.
"Man...... Comic Con? Han Ye's cheeks suddenly turned red.
Hey? Did I say something strange?
Shen Xin looked at Han Ye, who was twisting and pinching, and was confused.
"Okay." Han Ye bowed his head slightly and hooked his hair with his little thumb.
"Before that, be a little more confident, you're also a best-selling cartoonist – and by the way, don't forget to cut your hair."
"Hmm." Han Ye nodded very seriously.
Shen Xin was a little skeptical, if Han Ye was a girl, would her situation be better.
At this moment, there was a sudden sound of speech outside the hall door, and many people's attention involuntarily looked at the hall door.
"I ...... Warning, don't touch me! Jian Xiaomei...... Let go of your hands, I'm not a child...... Hurry up! I counted down, 3...... 2……”
Shen Xin heard this voice, and there was a black line.
There is no need to guess, the person who spoke was Ye Hexu.
In the blink of an eye, Jian Xiaomei pulled Ye Hexu by the collar and dragged him into the hall, while Ye Hexu had a pencil in his mouth and a sketch under his arm, with an angry face.
"Shut up! If you want to speak today, you have to come. ”
"Don't! What is the 'Best Long-Form Manga Award'? It's not convincing at all, it's embarrassing, right? ”
Everyone's eyes in the hall were consciously focused on Ye Hexu's body.
Shen Xin blinked, he said why he hadn't seen Ye Hexu all the time, it turned out that he hadn't arrived just now.
Ye Hexu saw Shen Xin standing on the side, his eyes lit up, and he threw a look at Shen Xin.
This guy still jumps out like that.
After Ye Hexu came to the hall, he was immediately surrounded by many people, and his height was indeed not enough. After being surrounded, the people outside couldn't even see the top of his head.
Three or four minutes later, Wang Yunze also followed to the hall, and many people in charge of the company also came forward to communicate with him.
Gao Hang squeezed out of the crowd, sweating profusely.
"This annual meeting...... It is estimated that there are not as many cartoonists as there are in these companies. Gao Hang looked around and said his speculation.
"How many cartoonists can there be in Hongchuan? Besides, there are still some of them who didn't come. Shen Xin explained.
"Yes. Hey...... I met a lot of voice actors, and I asked them for autographs. Gao Hang narrowed his eyes and took out a small notepad from his pocket.
Li Jie just wanted to tease Gao Hang, but the hall suddenly fell silent.
He didn't know why, so he hurriedly looked around, and finally found a middle-aged man with gold-rimmed glasses who looked quite sven coming out of the lounge on one side, and at the same time, a projector also put the finished PPT on the screen.
"Dong Bao?" Li Jie said in a lost voice.
Shen Xin nodded, this year's annual meeting is more fully prepared than last year, at least PPT and projector have been prepared.
Bao Jiyi's speech was similar to last year's, nothing more than a summary of the magazine's achievements last year, including the income of "The Legend of the Dragon King", the results of "Hunting Abyss" last year and the achievements of "Chess Soul" in the overseas market, in addition, comics such as "Killer Diary" and "My Future Wife Don't Like Me" were also used as examples.
In a word, the "big ship" of Yishu culture is currently very reliable, please rest assured.
After Bao Jiyi finished speaking, the hall immediately remembered applause.
"Next, it is still the representative of the cartoonist who speaks, and this year's representative is the winner of the 'Best Long-Form Comic Award', Mr. Ye Hexu, please Mr. Ye."
The vast majority of people in the hall turned their eyes to Ye Hexu.
Ye Hexu walked up to the high platform with a big grin and coughed lightly.
"Originally, I didn't want to come up and give a speech because I didn't think the award was interesting. Well, let's talk about this year's small goals, before April, I hope to get it and occupy the first place in the small book for a long time. I'm ready to go all out and grab the first place, no matter which work is the number one right now. That's my guarantee. ”
Shen Xin raised his eyebrows slightly, although Ye Hexu didn't say it directly, but those who knew the inside story knew that the first place in Ye Hexu's mouth was him and "Chess Soul".
After Ye Hexu finished speaking, the editors of the magazine and a small group of cartoonists all looked at Shen Xin.
Li Jie and Gao Hang didn't know why, and the pressure increased sharply.
Ye Hexu stepped off the high platform, and Jian Xiaomei pulled him, "Hey, what's wrong with you?" Bao Dong asked you to speak, why do you seem to be writing a challenge? ”
"That's fun. Otherwise, the cartoonists of the entire magazine have no fighting spirit, and it is really not interesting. Ye Hexu bared his teeth and smiled, "Moreover, I have been looking for a chance to face off against Teacher Shen." ”
The people in the audience fell into discussions, and those who knew the inside story immediately compared the advantages and disadvantages of "Chess Soul" and "Hunting Abyss", and those who didn't know the details were discussing how many words Ye Hexu would exert his efforts in.
At this moment, Wang Yunze took the microphone and also walked onto the high platform.
