Chapter 151: Diligent Wang Wenhong

Since Jun Hao Hotel has to hold the selection work of the comic festival, the workload has increased, so the original manpower of the hotel is dwarfed by comparison.

Wang Wenhong "just happened" to apply for the job and got a chance to be a waiter.

"Seeing how active you are, next month I will tell you a few more words in front of the supervisor, and I will guarantee you to become a full-time employee." An old employee patted Wang Wenhong on the shoulder twice.

"Okay, thank you very much." Wang Wenhong took out a cigarette and put another on the old employee.

Not long ago, after separating from Yan Fei, he returned to Hongchuan again, and under the guidance of the night school teacher, he applied for a job as a waiter in Junhao Hotel, and spent a small sum of money to sneak into the logistics department.

In addition to cleaning, collecting bed sheets, and distributing toiletries, Wang Wenhong's other job is to arrange and organize comic books in the guest rooms of the Sovereign Hotel.

This job was very tiring, and many waiters were unwilling to do it, but Wang Wen Hongda took over the task of arranging the cartoons.

In the consciousness of the old employees, Wang Wenhong is just a part-time worker, and he should do more work. Newcomers want to stay, relying on enthusiasm.

I never thought that the purpose of Wang Wenhong's sneaking in was to display the comics in each room.

"Comic Future", "Manga Fly" and "Manga Weekly" all entered the newcomer award, so the editor-in-chiefs of these three magazines were not eligible to vote, and Wang Wenhong did not put "Y's" in their rooms—— It's a waste to put it on, and they don't vote.

In other rooms, not only "Y's" is placed, but also a set of 5 copies, and other comics, such as "Hunting Abyss", although there are also, but most of them are not complete.

Wang Wenhong's purpose is very simple, that is to let these editor-in-chiefs who usually dismiss the signature cartoons of second-rate magazines have more opportunities to get in touch with "Y's".

Due to the large number of comics participating in the selection, Wang Wenhong also had to use some small brains. For example, "Y's" is placed at the height of the bookshelf, which is at the same level as most people's eyesight. As far as "Y's", even "Y's" is placed in the most conspicuous place on the bookshelves in the corridors and restaurants.

Of course, it is relatively easy to place the comics. The difficulty is to organize the comics every day, including restaurants, corridors, and meeting rooms.

Wang Wenhong was the most active. Most of the time, he tidied up an area by himself. The old employee was very moved. Every time he ate, he put chicken legs in Wang Wenhong's bowl, which made him feel quite guilty.

In fact, Wang Wenhong also knows that it is unrealistic for every editor-in-chief to see "Y's", but as long as one or two editor-in-chiefs have read it, "Y's" has a chance to turn around. Because in order to win the final award, the winner must obtain 4 or more votes, so the judges often have to go through multiple votes to determine the final winner.

And when it comes to the second or even third round of voting, there will be fewer cartoons, and the judges will have longer debates, and they will put their energy back on the comics themselves.

In terms of the quality of comics alone, "Y's" is better than other comics, especially the latest single book, Wang Wenhong even thinks that it can enter the selection of "Best Long-form Comics of the Year".

Although it may not be possible to win the award in the end, Shen Xin's handling of the storyboard and the arrangement of the plot are already in place.

This is also one of the reasons why he is more and more optimistic about Shen Xin - Shen Xin's progress is too fast.

Whether it is the editor-in-chief of a second-rate magazine or the editor-in-chief of the three major magazines, they all have their own understanding of comics.

As long as they read "Y's" carefully, they can quickly notice the advantages of "Y's".

At that time, only one argument is needed, and the selection process may be changed.

This is what Wang Wenhong can do for "Y's".

If he went one step further, once he was found out, his actions would be to discredit "Y's". Shen Xin definitely didn't want him to make any small moves.

What "Y's" lacks is not strength, but opportunities for fair competition.

Now, he creates this opportunity to let those editor-in-chiefs who know little about "Y's" have more opportunities to get in touch with "Y's", so that they can take "Y's" into consideration when they vote. Will suffice.

As for the final luck of "Y's", this is not within his control.

In the first four days, most of the awards for the comic festival have been settled, but due to the signing of a non-disclosure agreement, the final results cannot be announced to the public, and if someone leaks out, their magazine will be permanently cancelled, and they will be able to participate in the comic festival s right.

Among all the awards, only the "Newcomer Award", "Huaxia Comic Lifetime Achievement Award", and "Annual Best Long-form Comic Award" were left unselected.

This year's "Lifetime Achievement Award" is estimated to be vacant again, so the only important awards left are the "Newcomer Award" and the "Best Long-form Comic Award of the Year".

Because "Comic Future", "Manga Fly" and "Manga Weekly" had entries, the three magazines were not eligible to participate in the discussion and vote. Before the meeting started, they were invited out of the meeting room by the Cartoonists Association. The editors of the agency can only watch the scene in the meeting room through the LCD TV in the lounge.

Because they couldn't hear the voice of the discussion, even if the three chief editors were anxious, they had no other choice but to keep calm as much as possible.

After a long time, the editor-in-chief of Man Weekly broke the silence.

"This award... No matter how you look at it, it belongs to your two magazines."

"Hey, Mr. Yu, you are wrong. "Ghostbusters" is also very popular." Shang Haozhi looked at the old man sitting on the single sofa with a peaked cap, and quickly waved his hands.

Yu Bai is almost a living fossil in the Chinese cartoon industry. When he was young, he was a very good painter and was quite famous in the industry. But when I got older, I just wanted to spend the rest of my life in peace, so at the age of 50, I became the editor-in-chief of "Man Weekly". After ten years of hard work, "Man Weekly" became the fourth magazine after the three major publications. magazine, sales also exceeded two million copies, compared with the three major magazines, only a sigh of relief.

"I think so too. The first and third places are all comics from "Comic Future". Mr. Shang, this award should already be in your hands, right?"

Yuan Zhe, the editor-in-chief of "Manga Fly", is a young man about thirty years old. He is not very young, but he has the means to do things.

When he first airborne the editorial department of "Manga Fly", many people questioned him, but in just one year, he managed "Manga Fly" in an orderly manner. In the following years, he introduced popular manga from "Shounen Leap". Not only has it stabilized the decline, but now it has launched a challenge to "Comic Future".

"Uh..." Shang Haozhi touched the pocket of his coat, and there was a pocket manga in it, his face changed slightly, and then he smiled again, "Let me borrow your good words. But it's better to be cautious, the result hasn't come out yet." .”

"I think "Top of Basketball" can't affect "The Hunting Abyss". The only thing that can put pressure on Mr. Ye is "Punishment", which is full of your comics inside and out."

Having said this, Yuan Zhe frowned slightly, feeling rather unhappy.
