After looking back on the winners of the past 15 newcomer awards, she smiled, “Let’s please, the chairman of the Cartoonists Association, the winner of the Comic Festival Lifetime Achievement Award, and the famous Chinese cartoonist Qiu Gongyu. , Come to the stage to give awards.”
As soon as the hostess spoke, the scene immediately boiled over.
“It’s Mr Qiu!”
“Didn’t Mr. Qiu only give out the “Best Feature of the Year Award” in the past?”
“Did Mr. Qiu come up early?”
“This is the banner of China’s comics industry. It’s hard to imagine who will award the last prize.”
At the same time, on Manjia.com forums, there were expressions of “surprise” one after another. In an instant, the discussion posts increased by hundreds of layers.
“Really Teacher Qiu Gongyu?”
“This is different from what I guessed before…”
“This year’s manga festival is really interesting and exciting.”
……
Amidst the discussion on site and on the Internet, an old man over seventy years old took a steady step, holding a red letter paper, and stepped onto the stage.
There was fierce applause immediately.
Qiu Gongyu waved his hands again and again to signal everyone to be quiet.
The applause gradually died down, and Qiu Gongyu also began to speak.
“I know what you guys are thinking, and I am very curious about why my old man came on stage at this time. Shouldn’t I be the last one to play? Actually, I’m all an old man. How can I care about the first appearance?”
laughed at the scene.
“Fifteen years ago, the Cartoonists Association and major magazines jointly organized a comic festival. In the past 15 years, the comic festival has brought a lot of comics to the comics industry, and it has also given many comic artists a goal to strive for. The awards issued are also The original “Best Feature”, “Best Short Film” and “Newcomer Award” have developed into the current 7 awards, plus a lifetime achievement award.
“As one of the founders, I have always been careful. Of all these awards, my favorite is the’Newcomer Award’. Because newcomers represent vitality and newcomers represent the future. Only more and more talented newcomers participate Until the creation of comics, Huaxia’s comics will be vigorous.
“Before the awards, let me tell a little story that I know. Of all the awards this year, the competition for the’Newcomer Award’ is the most intense, and in the selection of the newcomer awards, the intensity of the competition for the’Newcomer Award’ this year , Is also among the best. This year’s newcomer award has experienced five votes, and two of them were invalidated because some people abstained from voting.
“Before the last time, the seven judges spent another two hours reading through the comics of the candidates, and giving their opinions on voting, before they confirmed the winners, and the final voting result was 5:2. Score. After reading the two comics carefully, I agree with the score.
“This time the’Newcomer Award’ is full of gold. I’m really happy, so I can’t wait to present this award.”
There was another laugh at the scene.
“Well, before announcing the results, I remembered what Ms. Du Yulu said when discussing two works. The performance of a work should not be based on how many resources it can use to make its own reputation, but should be based on its limitations. Within the resources of the company, how much results can be achieved. I am deeply convinced of this. Not much to say. Next, I will announce that the 16th Newcomer Award winner is…”
Qiu Gongyu opened the letterhead and took out the paper card inside.
“From… Mr. Shen Zheng from “Weekly Nerld” and his comic “ys”, congratulations!”
The scene was silent, and it was not until the golden font of “ys” appeared on the big screen that they realized that the curse of the’Newcomer Award’ had been broken.
Ye Hexu looked at the big screen, dumbfounded.
He also thought that he would lose to Shen Xin, but always felt that the probability was very small, but when “Hunting Abyss” was defeated by “ys”, his confidence seemed to be instantly shattered.
Yan Fei saw this scene, her heart was beating rapidly, her brain was blank, she didn’t even know what to do next.
When Shen Xin stood up from his seat and walked towards the stage, Yan Fei became concerned about gains and losses again. Whether there is anything wrong with the speech just now, don’t make any mistakes.
In front of the TV, Liu Hao heard that Shen Xin won the prize and suddenly jumped up from the sofa. Popcorn also flew out of the paper tube and scattered all over the ground, but he completely ignored it, picked up the phone, and couldn’t wait to call Pan Xiaohao. Phone.
“Xiao Pan, did you see that, it was Mr. Shen who won the prize! It was “ys” who won the prize! It was the magazine of Yunhai “nerld”!”
At the same time, in Shen Xin’s home, Xi Muhan touched her cheeks with both hands, her face was hot, but her eyes were staring straight at the TV, and she never left.
“It’s so good… Brother Xin.”
After putting on his eyes, Shen Xin is more handsome than before…
Xi Muhan narrowed his eyes, curled his legs, and buried his face between his legs.
After taking the stage, Shen Xin bowed deeply to Qiu Gongyu. When he straightened up, he found Qiu Gongyu opened his arms and hugged Qiu Gongyu again.
The audience thought of applause again.
“Congratulations, “ys” is very good.” Qiu Gongyu squinted his eyes, his cheeks glowing rosy.
“Thank you.”
Shen Xin took the heavy little golden man from Qiu Gongyu, and the lady emcee on the other side also sent a 200,000 yuan bonus check.
Holding the trophy in his hand, Shen Xin looked at the audience. The light was focused on him at the moment. There was nothing in his field of vision except the light.
“I didn’t expect to get this award. I didn’t even prepare the speech. Hmm… Actually, there are many people who want to thank. First of all, I would like to thank my editor, Miss Yan Fei. She gave me a chance. She is my sister in life and my predecessor in work, so that I have a firm foothold on the road of comics. At the same time, I also thank Mr. Wang Wenhong for his help in this work.
“Besides, I would also like to thank my assistants, Miss Lu Ning and Mr. Gao Hang, for accompanying me all the way, this trophy is part of you. At the same time, thank my sister, thank you for your support to me. and every newcomer award contestant, you are my motivation to move forward, because I… don’t want to lose to you, so I will draw this comic very seriously. In addition, Dear readers, without you, I am not qualified to stand here.”
There was enthusiastic applause at the scene, Yan Fei wiped her eyes, but hot tears still came from her eyes.
Shen Xin took a deep breath and made up his mind in silence.
“At last……”
Just when everyone thought that Shen Xin’s acceptance speech was over, Shen Xin spoke again.
“Finally, the person I am most grateful for is my teacher. Without him, there would be no this comic. This trophy belongs to you.”
Teacher Masakazu Katsura…
Shen Xin bowed deeply again.
……
The middle-aged man looked at Shen Xin on the TV and was stunned. He didn’t expect that he was actually won the “Newcomer Award” by “nerld”.
“Master Song, it’s 800,000.” The middle-aged man murmured to himself, but did not hear the answer, “Master Song…”
The middle-aged man turned his head quickly, but saw Song Tai pressed his hands tightly on his chest, his cheeks were pale, and the sweat on his forehead was covered with sweat.
“Master Song, what’s the matter with you?”
The middle-aged man was a little flustered. Just as he stood up from his seat, Song Tai leaned and fell to the ground.
“Waitress… ambulance, call an ambulance!” the middle-aged man yelled at the waiter.
