"No, no, no......" Hearing the director's question, Watanabe quickly shook his head: "It's not an anime or a movie, it's a manga." ”

"Comics?"

"Yes, we can start an essay contest and invite contributions from major publishers in the society, for a period of one year, and the best comic can get a prize money from our sports bureau and can be used as an ambassador for the sports bureau."

"Of course, although it is said to be an essay competition, the copyright still belongs to those publishers and writers, so the prize we give will not be too high."

After Watanabe finished speaking, the director nodded.

Indeed, promoting through comics is also a good way to do it.

After all, the comic market is also a huge market today, and teenagers also occupy a major position.

If the comics are good enough, they can indeed attract a lot of young people to participate in sports.

Although he always thinks that it is not reliable to use comics and other things to increase the number of teenagers participating in sports, it is also an idea.

The main thing is to increase the proportion of physical education at any level of school, from primary school to university; In addition to school-wide sports meetings and other activities, various sports clubs are organized according to students' hobbies.

Of course, although the prize money of the competition at all levels will not increase too much, it will definitely increase to attract more people.

Thinking of this, the director nodded: "Hmm." ”

Patting Watanabe on the shoulder, he sat back in his seat and looked at everyone: "Gentlemen! It's a matter of success or failure! Next, we need to discuss the specific plan! ”

"Yes!"

………………

On Friday, Lin Yi received an invitation from Junko Machida from the Sports Bureau to invite major publishing houses to hold an essay competition.

"President, do you think we want to hold it?"

Junko Machida asked.

Although it is said that it was invited by the Sports Bureau, whether or not to hold an essay competition depends on the publisher's own intentions.

Judging from the information I have received from other publishing houses, most of those publishing houses have no plans to hold it, and even if they do, it is just going to do it casually.

After all, there are really not many people who like to read sports-themed comics.

Even when a hundred flowers were blooming back then, comics with this theme were a niche among the niches.

Because the requirements for cartoonists are too high.

You must know that most of the comics in this category are realistic comics, so there are also requirements for the drawing skills of sports comics.

It also requires the author to understand the rules of some sporting events.

Therefore, most publishers do not intend to do this kind of thankless work.

However, the Sports Bureau also deliberately invited Lin Yi again and again, so Machida Junko specially asked about the evil spirit.

"Sports comics?" Hearing Junko Machida's inquiry, Lin Yi groaned for a moment.

He has a lot of sports comics here.,What a net king.,Slam dunk.,Black basketball、Volleyball teenagers、Table tennis or something.,And it's basically unlocked.。

You can draw it.

Because with the passage of time, he really has to deal with his work affairs, and he can't watch the children at home all day long, right? That's too boring.

So he originally planned to draw a new manga, but he didn't know which one to draw.

It just so happened that the invitation of the Sports Bureau made Lin Yi decide on the subject matter at once, so he drew the sports genre.

But it's still not easy to decide which sports manga to draw.

However, Lin Yi still agreed first: "I will participate in this competition." ”

"Really?!" Junko Machida nodded: "Which theme of sports does the president plan to draw?" ”

"I haven't thought it through yet."

"Huh?" Hearing Lin Yi's answer, Machida Junko was stunned for a moment, and then hurriedly said: "President, sports comics need a certain understanding of the rules of sports events, otherwise any common-sense mistakes will easily be sprayed by fans." ”

"Of course I do." Lin Yi smiled and signaled to the other party to reassure: "I won't smash my own signboard, you can rest assured." ”

"Hmm...... Got it. ”

Junko Machida nodded.

She thinks too.,Her own president has never disappointed in comics.,Even if it's the comic of Demon Slayer.,It's also a strong counterattack with animation.。

She doesn't have to worry about that.

Thinking about it, she began to look forward to her president's latest comic again, after all, she also likes sports, and she feels quite good when she looks at the tears of those players on the field.

"Then, teacher, I'm looking forward to your new comics!"

"Don't worry, you won't be disappointed." Lin Yi left the office with a smile, returned home and opened the door, and saw his cat cub Eleven lying on the sofa with his eyes closed, and his baby daughter was behind Eleven, constantly trying to play with Eleven's tail.

But Eleven didn't care in the slightest, his tail wagged on the left and right, constantly teasing his daughter, as if he heard something, Eleven opened his eyes and looked in the direction of Lin Yi, and after finding out that it was Lin Yi, he yawned and changed his posture.

"......" didn't know why, Lin Yi always felt that he felt a look of contempt in the cat's eyes.

This cat is really at odds with him!

Since he came to his house, he has never let him feel the way Qian Shi came to his feet and rubbed his legs with his face that he saw on TV.

"Coming back?" Lin Yuyi walked out of the kitchen: "It's just right, let's have lunch." ”

"Oh, here we are."

Lin Yi happily walked to the bathroom, washed his hands, and went to the kitchen to help.

After eating and drinking, he got the cat litter for the cat cub Eleven and returned to his study, took out a few notes, wrote the name of the comic he wanted to draw, and began to draw lots.

When I opened the note, the name of "Slam Dunk" appeared in Lin Yi's eyes.

"Slam Dunk? Not bad. Lin nodded.

Of all the sports genres, Slam Dunk is undoubtedly the top one.

The ups and downs of the plot and the exquisite drawing skills are the main reasons why this comic can become popular.

And this comic is also a comic full of Lin Yi's childhood in his previous life.

Back then, when I hid a comic book under the desk, I would feel my blood boiling, and the realism generated by the collision of the players' bodies greatly enhanced the expressiveness of this comic, which made people feel immersive.

For example, the final lore part of the Mountain King Battle is full of tension, and the extreme painting is redundant.
