Chapter 19: Newcomers Are Monsters

While newcomers were waiting to buy the new issue of Shonen Magazine, several debut cartoonists who participated in the Rookie Cup had already been notified of the results by the editor.

"Congratulations, Mr. Yashang Village, you have won the bronze award of the Newcomer Cup this time, please come to the award dinner at the end of December to receive the certificate and prize money as well as the souvenirs prepared by our magazine." Liang Yong's voice came out of the phone, which shook the spirit of Yashang Village.

He took a deep breath to suppress his somewhat excited mood, and asked as calmly as possible: "Editor Liang Yong, do you have any comments from other teachers and editors?" ”

"Yes, do you want to see it?"

"Of course, I'll go to you right now!"

Hanging up the phone, Yagami Village clenched his fists with joy on his face, as a manga artist who is better at drawing than plots, it is enough to make him feel happy to win the bronze award of the Rookie Cup.

Yashang Village, of course, his real name is not this, Yashang Village is his pen name, but because he lives a simple life, no one usually calls him by his real name, and over time he simply calls himself Yashang Village.

It's been almost a decade since he debuted as a manga artist, and it was only with a fairly good original that he was able to take his first steps in this field. Although he still maintains a good relationship with the original work, creating comics together, he ...... Well, I've been drawing comics for so many years, but basically there are no works that are entirely written by myself, should I say it's a technical itch, or is it unwilling?

Anyway, after discussing with the friend who was the original author of his comics, he resolutely participated in the Rookie Cup, the purpose of which is to see if he has made some progress in script creation ten years later, and now it seems that the results are not bad.

In the slightly envious congratulations of the assistant, Yashang Village took his coat and hurriedly walked out of the house.

Because of his seclusion, he naturally doesn't have a car, but fortunately, the place where he lives is not very far from the editorial office of the magazine, and he can reach it by walking for a while.

At the same time, the other two cartoonists who participated in the Rookie Cup were also notified of the results of the competition, so when Yagami Village arrived at the building where the editorial office was located, he and the other two happened to meet at the door of the editorial office.

"Teacher Tu Wu, Teacher Wei Hai, what a coincidence." Yashang Village greeted happily, although Tu Wu and Wei Hai are much younger than him, but compared to their strength, Yashang Village still thinks that they are inferior, and naturally they will not put on any seniors, "Teacher Tu Wu, I heard that the gold medal this time was not bye, probably you got it, right?" ”

Anyone with a discerning eye can see Tu Wu's fluttering appearance now, as a cartoonist who has debuted for a long time, Yashang Village naturally knows that Tu Wu has participated in the Rookie Cup for so many sessions, and his goal is only a gold award, which can make him happy like this, and the result is self-evident.

"Fortunately, I didn't disgrace my life, and I finally ended a regret."

Tu Wu clenched his fists like a chivalrous man, and it could be seen that although he was already trying to control his emotions, the joy was still beyond words.

He is now twenty-three years old, young, full of sharpness, in terms of talent and talent, he is indeed much stronger than the other two people present, enough to be called a genius cartoonist, but it is probably also related to the comic themes he draws, just like the chivalrous protagonists in his pen, Tu Wu is also a more decent kind, and he will not be proud of his talents.

"Then what is the result of Teacher Wei Hai?"

Sighing a terrible sentence, Ya Shangcun and the two walked side by side, while looking at Wei Hai, who was much more taciturn than Tu Wu.

Wei Hai smiled implicitly: "Bronze Award, it's okay." ”

It seems that Wei Hai should have been satisfied with this achievement, he is now twenty-eight years old, although there are works serialized in "Juvenile Weekly", but the plot is becoming more and more routine.

Despite this, he is also a cartoonist who can be serialized in "Shonen Weekly", and he still has the strength, even he only won the bronze award, and Ya Shangcun can't help but start to sigh that there will be two more dazzling newcomers this year.

After all, there is a strange phenomenon in the comic industry, those rookie cartoonists who win gold medals in rookie competitions tend to fall silent for a long time, but those who win silver medals will have some achievements.

Yashang Village has a vague hunch that the two silver award winners of the Rookie Cup this time will probably not be characters who will simply fall silent.

While chatting, the three of them also walked into the editorial office, and then walked to their own editors-in-charge.

said hello to Liang Yong, and Yashang Village got the evaluation of his work by the jury team: 6 points for creativity, 5.5 points for plot, 8.5 points for painting, and 6.5 points for character design, which is roughly not much different from what he guessed, he is still quite a self-aware person.

However, the detailed evaluation after that Yasuemura did not rush to see it, but walked to Tu Wu and his editor-in-charge - he was more curious about Tu Wu's work that could win the gold medal this time.

However, when he walked to Tu Wu's side, he saw Tu Wu holding other people's comic copies in his hands.

"Teacher Tu Wu, what is this?" It was Wei Hai who spoke out, and he was also interested in Tu Wuna's comics that could get the gold award, so he walked nearby.

"Hmm......" Tu Wu pondered for a moment and replied, "This is the work of the Rookie Cup and my comic to compete for the gold medal this time, the name is "Beginning", you can also take a look." ”

Hearing this, Yashangcun and Wei Hai glanced at each other, nodded and each picked up a copy of "Chu", since Mr. Tu Wu said so, they didn't have any opinions, anyway, according to the original plan of the two, they all had to read the gold and silver comics this time, and they didn't care about the order or anything.

For a while, there were only three cartoonists in the editorial office flipping through the manuscript, and even a few editors were curious about what the three of them would say about the comic.

After all, "Beginning" is just a short comic, and it doesn't take too long to read it once, and Tu Wu, who first started to read it, put down the copy in his hand first, showed a somewhat complicated smile, pursed his lips and closed his eyes and thought for a long time before finally speaking: ""Beginning", I lost a little unjustly. ”

After all, he is a famous cartoonist who has debuted, and the most basic judgment will not be lacking, "Beginning" is indeed a very good work, Tu Wu generously admitted this, and even felt that it was a pity that it only won the silver award.

As a cartoonist who has participated in several Rookie Cups, he naturally knows the importance of comic plots in the competition, and it can be said that if the plot of the entries is not good enough, then the gold medal of this year's Rookie Cup will have a great chance of being byed.

Again, there are many artists in this world, but there are only a handful of cartoonists.

So when watching "Beginning", Tu Wu was more concerned about the plot - this is a work that competes with him for the gold award.

It's not self-humility or anything else, Tu Wu thinks that the comic he used to submit to the competition is not as good as "Chu" in terms of plot.

This is also a matter of course, Tu Wu's work is a royal road juvenile comic, and "Beginning" is an evil comic with a sword, and it can almost win the gold medal level, so the rendering of both the plot and the atmosphere is naturally stronger than Tu Wu's comics.

But success is also Xiao He, and defeat is also Xiao He, because "Beginning" is an evil comic that attracted the attention of the judges, but it also led to a problem, that is, the audience.

There is a reason why heretical comics are called evil ways, not royal ways, and the lack of readers who like them is one of the reasons.

You see, royal comics, friendship! Step up your game! And then victory! How enthusiastic, as a young person, ask yourself, do you like this kind of work full of refreshing feelings?

It's like an online article.,Maybe some bookworms who have read too many cool articles will feel that some popular works are too routine.,But often the refreshing feeling of these routine articles is still unstoppable.,Even if you know that the protagonist of the ending will explode and kill the boss.,But will you not read it because of this? Do you feel unpleasant when you see the originally weak protagonist suddenly erupt and press the villain boss to the ground to fight? Doesn't it feel cool?

Inexistent.

And "Beginning", it is true that it can make readers feel a faint sense of melancholy, and the sense of "loneliness" contained in it can make people want to stop, but for some readers...... I don't care about you! I'm looking at something that makes me feel refreshed! Don't want this inexplicable feeling of sour melancholy! Bad review!

White readers will always be the majority in the world.

Look, that's the problem, so Tu Wu feels that the reason why he can win the gold award is roughly here.

And the place where Yashang Village pays attention is not here.,As a cartoonist who is not good at the plot and has a very good drawing.,He naturally pays more attention to the painting of "Beginning" than the plot.,And when he turned the first page of "Beginning", he was already impressed by Yuemi's painting.。

As I said before, Yashang Village is a self-aware person, and if his skills are not as good as others, he will not deny it. He found that the painter he was once proud of was so inferior in front of this teacher Chuanchuanchuan.

Maggie, are all newcomers monsters? Every year is getting more and more terrifying.

Even if Yashang Village's mentality is good, he can't help but complain like this in his heart.

"I said, Zhan Ting, can't you give the gold award to "Chu"?"

Tu Wu patted his editor-in-charge on the shoulder and said, although half of it was a joke, but he really felt that there was nothing wrong with giving the gold award to "Chu".

Zhan Ting pushed his glasses, smiling: "What do you think~"

"Okay, okay."

Tu Wu raised his hands in surrender, but whether it was the other people who were still present, they all felt that I was afraid that another ghost would be born in the comic world.
