Chapter 321: The World's First Comic Reward
To be honest, Ji Kong was not surprised when he learned that the praise rate of "One Piece" was lower than that of "Five Centimeters per Second". Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ο½iqugeγ ο½ο½fo
On the one hand, the reputation of "One Piece" in the early days was really not very high.
On the other hand, "One Piece" is a commercial comic, while "Five Centimeters per Second" belongs to a literary comic, so it is obviously impossible for commercial comics to compare their reputation with literary comics.
However, Ji Kong felt that this situation was normal, and it didn't mean that Iida Ayano could also understand Ji Kong's thoughts at this time.
Although she usually gets along with Ji Kong, she is always very arrogant, looking heartless, and she doesn't seem to take Ji Kong's identity to heart at all.
However, this is where she is the most astute in dealing with people.
Because she knows the relationship between herself and Ji Kong, and she can also grasp Ji Kong's character, she also knows very well what kind of way she should use to talk to Ji Kong.
It was precisely because of this that she was a little worried at this time.
Ji Kong's identity is extraordinary after all, and "One Piece" is also an excellent manga, if such a combination can't win an award, will he have other ideas in his heart?
If it was in normal times, they would have directly awarded the newcomer award to Ji Kong, even if there was a bit of a dark box operation in it, it was nothing, after all, this kind of thing is not too much in these years.
But the problem is, Shiina Mashiro is an authentic world-class celebrity, and she has more fans than Ji Kong, and if she suffers any injustice, what if that group of fans riots?
Therefore, the current Shueisha is very entangled, and this kind of tangled thing is probably something they have never encountered since their establishment.
After all, this is just an insignificant monthly newcomer award, and the real heavyweight newcomer award should be the world's first manga award, Tezuka Award, and Akatsuka Award.
These three awards are the newcomer awards with the highest gold content, in addition to getting a large amount of bonuses, you can also get special benefits such as animation adaptation.
On the other hand, most of the previous winners of the monthly rookie award did not even have the qualifications to be serialized in the main issue of "Weekly Shonen Jump", and could only be serialized in the supplement, while "One Piece" and "Five Centimeters per Second" have already been serialized in the main issue, so you can imagine how low the gold content of this award is.
However, it is such a low-value award, and now there are two high-quality manga that can be called once in decades in competition, Shueisha can be said to be both happy and painful, hesitating not to know who to give the award.
Therefore, they chose to let the editor of the two, Ayano Iida, to probe the tone of the two, after all, the two are said to be lovers, and it would be easy if they could reach a compromise internally.
Iida Ayano, who received this task, although she had a feeling of being a dog in her heart, but out of professionalism, she still said out loud: "You can also mention this matter to Mahaku, and see what she thinks." β
"Needless to say, the first place in this monthly newcomer award will be awarded to Mahaku." Ji Kong replied directly, without the slightest reluctance in his voice.
"Uh......"
Iida Ayano was stunned for a moment before saying, "Are you sure?" You just gave up the first place? β
"Well, didn't you say it anyway? This monthly newcomer award is just an insignificant reward, my real goal, but the world's first comic award! And although she is very famous in the painting world, but in the ACG world, not many people know her, on the other hand, I am famous enough in the ACG world, so giving the first place to Mayaku can also maximize the effect. β
Ji Kong was not frustrated at all, but was very calm, analyzing the situation for Iida Ayano.
"Indeed, commercial comics with a wide audience like "One Piece" do have a certain advantage when it comes to selecting awards like the World First Manga Awards."
Ayano Iida nodded in agreement.
The world's first comic award,Set up by "Weekly Shonen Jump" in 1996,The name is taken from the world's first martial arts conference of "Dragon Ball",Well-known cartoonists as judges,Although it is also a kind of newcomer award,But because of the high gold content,The selection cannot be as casual as the monthly newcomer award,At least after the single book,The sales of the single book are also included,As a basis for judgment,It's a bit similar to the annual rookie king in the previous lifeγ
"But don't be too proud, although "One Piece" looks very popular today, but this actually has your fame bonus in it, remove this bonus, what is the strength of "One Piece", this is still unknown, and "Weekly Shonen Jump" is full of strong people, and there will be a lot of powerful newcomers every year, whether you can win awards is not necessarily."
Ayano Iida reminded.
"Well, don't worry, I'm confident." Ji Kong said with a smile.
"Forget it, I don't bother to care about you."
Iida Ayano shook her head, but after solving a matter on her mind, her mood relaxed a lot, and she also smiled: "But it's really a blessing for Mahaku to have a owner like you...... Well, it's better if you're a woman. β
"Sometimes I think it's nice to be a woman......"
Thinking of the dozen or so beautiful girls gathered in the living room, Ji Kong couldn't help but sigh.
Of course, he only sighed for a while, if he really became a woman, he estimated that he would go crazy.
"By the way, I've already drawn next week's draft, and I'll pass it on to you now?"
"Painted so quickly? You're very diligent! β
Iida Ayano gave a thumbs up to Ji Kong, as a responsible editor of Shueisha, she has many manga artists under her command in addition to Ji Kong and Shiina Mashiro, but those people are often too lazy to die.
For example, a cartoonist with the pen name "Two-Yuan Cabbage", if it weren't for the deadline and if she hadn't called to urge him, he would never have taken the initiative to deliver the manuscript, he was simply lazy to death!
In comparison, a diligent cartoonist like Ji Kong is more liked by her.
"But this time I don't have to submit the manuscript online, because there are some things, let's meet in reality, and you can directly give me the manuscript when the time comes...... By the way, if you bring Mahaku with you, how about tomorrow? β
Ayano Iida asked.
"Tomorrow?"
Ji Kong thought for a while, tomorrow Gancheng Guanghui Amusement Park will reopen, he will definitely go, so he said: "There is probably no time tomorrow, how about Monday afternoon?" β
"It's okay, I'll invite you to dinner when I get off work!"
So the two sides negotiated like this, Ji Kong hung up the phone, hesitated for a moment, and then walked towards the living room step by step, praying in his heart that everyone had better chat in harmony or something.
However, when he walked into the living room, there was still dead silence in the living room.
And with his appearance, eleven beautiful girls immediately set their eyes on him!
