Chapter 136 Akazuka Prize and Tezuka Prize
"Akazuka Award..."
This is one of the most popular awards that all new comics in Japanese comics industry hope to win.
There are two authoritative newcomer comics selections in Japan, which were founded by two heavyweight comic masters, [Tezuka Award] and [Akatsuka Award]. Tomb, which is the same as the "swelling" sound.
Among them, Tezuka Jue was founded by Osamu Tezuka, known as the god of manga, and selected story-based comic works.
Akatsuka Jung was founded by Fujio Akatsuka, chairman of FUJIOPRODUCTION (Akatsuka Production Club), a manga artist who is not weaker than Osamu Tezuka. It selects funny comic works.
These two important awards are similar to Sanjiang Pavilion in Dianniang Chinese website in the online literature circle, but Sanjiang Pavilion once a week.
Tezuka Jury and Akazuka Jury each select newcomers with a place of about 5 people each time, which means that about 20 newcomers are qualified to start their professional comic career at "Weekly Youth JUMP".
The sincere and honest uncle, Hiroshi, was on the Akatsuki Award when he officially debuted. Hattori Tetsubu said that Wang Xiu's comics could be on the Akatsuki Award, which was equivalent to directly approving Wang Xiu that Wang Xiu is now qualified to debut and become a cartoonist!
Hattori said again: "Of course, things are not that simple. The specific details depend on whether Mr. Wang Xiu's subsequent comics can maintain such excellent level. If possible, Mr. Wang Xiu can finish three episodes first. I can submit them to the editor-in-chief and let your work be serialized directly on NEXT! Then make your official debut!"
Young JUMPNEXT! The supplement of the weekly Young JUMP is only published three times a year! In addition to newcomers, there are other people with serialization experience every year. If you have outstanding achievements and are recognized, you can officially debut and become a serialized cartoonist in the official magazine! This is a magazine that makes a newcomer cartoonist debut and has a shortcut, and only has three chances a year.
"Wang Xiu, can you prepare to debut? This..." The Supreme and Qiu Ren were still excited to be able to be a newcomer's monthly reward, but Wang Xiu was directly recognized by the editor and could debut. This contrast is too uncomfortable.
With a complex feeling of excitement and a little faint loss, he left with Qiuren and returned to the comic studio.
The first thing Wang Xiu did when he returned to the comic studio was to pick up the brush and continue to practice painting.
"Wang Xiu, are you... unhappy?" Qiuren asked as he looked at Wang Xiu so calmly.
"Why be happy?"
"Well, isn't it fun to be a cartoonist?"
"Actually, I am very happy, but I realize that my painting skills are not as good as the highest. If it weren't for the wonderful story, today's Hattori editor would not have praised it so much and was recognized. I am very happy, but my painting skills are not as good as others, which makes me unhappy. I want to be a real cartoonist, so I am not satisfied with my painting skills until I catch up with the highest and catch up with the best cartoonist with the best painting skills. I will not be satisfied, and I will always move forward! The highest said that the painting skills of a cartoonist is endless, and I believe this sentence."
The highest place was silent, turned his head and walked back to his work table, picked up the brush again, and practiced his painting skills like Wang Xiu.
Qiuren was slightly stunned when they saw that the two of them had no joy in being recognized by the editor. After thinking about it, he clenched his fists. For a moment, the atmosphere of the entire comic studio became compact.
"Hey, the highest, our submission should be considered a success. We received a business card and email address for the first time, and we can even participate in the monthly reward. Why are you not happy?"
The highest person raised his head and looked at Qiuren seriously: "Qiuren, do you really think so?"
Qiu Ren's face was slightly stagnant and said, "What?"
He lowered his head and kept his brush in his hand: "I think the editor of Hattori is very good."
"Ah, yes, I feel so too." Qiuren responded.
"But, our comics don't work." The highest voice became slightly cold.
"Why, didn't the editor say that everyone can participate in the monthly reward?"
"I can participate in the monthly awards, but I may not be selected for the award. This is the original words of Hattori editor. He said that our comic story genre is good, but he did not say that my painting skills are good. He said that my sketching skills are good, but because there are too many sketching places, it is not like comics. The characters and backgrounds are similar, and more changes are needed... It is the best to create your own style to draw comics."
"Wang Xiu's painting skills are not as good as mine, but he has a unique style of painting, integrating Chinese style simple style, and his story is interesting. Hattori editor even said bluntly that he can participate in the Akatsuka Awards..."
"I am not as good as Wang Xiu." The highest person sighed and said this sentence unwillingly.
"The highest, you want to say that the editor of Hattori said that our comics can be enjoyed in the monthly period, but because we are young and have great potential for improvement, we are..."
"Well... With the level of [Two Earths], even if you participate in the monthly reward of the Young JUMP, you may not be selected, let alone the Tezuka Award. If you don't see the comparison between the editor of Hattori when facing Wang Xiu's comics, maybe I still believe that I've drawn it well. However, now with the comparison, I realized that Hattori editor may just be to motivate us to say that... Uncle once said that some very good editors who are optimistic about some new comics will praise him tactfully even if his comics are not qualified."
"So, our comics may not be sent to the monthly reward by the Hattan editor at all. It's just that we don't get frustrated by the failure of our first submission. Therefore, I convinced the persuasion editor to be very good and worthy of trust."
"Wang Xiu was really recognized, but he was not very happy. We were just given false recognition, so we naturally couldn't be happy. Now I just want to correct all the problems pointed out by the editor of Hattori and draw better comics. I also want to participate in the Akatsuka Awards like Wang Xiu, and we have to participate in the Tezuka Awards!"
Qiuren suddenly laughed.
"The highest, you are such a person, indeed, there is something wrong with our comics."
"I just remembered now that the editor of Hattori said that [Two Earths] is more like a light novel story than a comic story, and my originality is also problematic."
"Yeah, I feel that way."
"Ah, then why didn't you say it earlier?"
"We have agreed that I will not give any advice on your storyboard, nor will you give any advice on my painting skills."
"Then!" Qiuren glanced at Wang Xiu, who had already been practicing painting skills, and said, "Next time, the comic will be modified to give each other opinions! Spend more time thinking and draw a comic that we are all satisfied with! Chase Wang Xiu."
When Wang Xiu heard this, he suddenly raised his head and said, "Hey, you can draw it, why do you get involved with me? I am your cartoonist assistant, why do you say you have to catch up with me?"
The Supreme and Qiu Ren said in unison: "Because our comics are not as good as you!" Their eyes were bright and bright.
"Your real opponent should be the new wife of the genius cartoonist Eiji, not me." Wang Xiu grinned.
"A guy that arrogant is nothing. You, Wang Xiu, is a real genius cartoonist."
"No, I'm not a genius cartoonist, I'm a cheating cartoonist. I've told you that I can dream of another world in my sleep. You will never be my opponent, do you understand?"
"What! The highest is, Wang Xiu is really a second-second-grade disease. Why is he so old that he is even more second-grade than a second-grade student!"
"Qiu Ren, ignore him. He will be second in second place. We can do our best to be ourselves and don't let him be proud for too long!"
The Supreme People and Qiu Ren joined forces to tease Wang Xiu.
"Qiu Ren, start working hard now! My painting skills need to be practiced better, and all the shortcomings mentioned by the editor of Hattori."
"The highest point, I also want to come up with better and really interesting stories. The next goal is Tezuka Jue!"
"Well! The Tezuka Awards will start the selection in early October, and there is still one month left, so it will definitely be too late!"
"Come on!" "Come on!"
Ahh, it feels like these two teenagers are igniting again.
Wang Xiu smiled and watched the two boys struggle so quickly from being hit again, and was in a very happy mood. This is the "Yacheng Mu Mengye" combination in my heart. Thank you, thank you for giving me spiritual strength in those days.
Chapter completed!
