Chapter 162: Editor-in-Chief's Depression

In a noisy bar, Song Ren was dancing jazz with his arms around a dancer girl.

The noisy noise lingered in his mind, almost making him forget that the major awards of the comic festival were being presented on TV at this moment.

Song Ren is self-aware. He knows very well that with the fame and strength of "New World", he is unable to help "y's" win the "Newcomer Award". These people who came together are all masters of major games and animations.

If you have a good relationship with these people, the path of the magazine will be broadened a lot.

At the end of a dance song, Song Ren bowed politely to the dancer, and then walked towards the bar.

A young man handed over a glass of cocktail and said with a smile, "I didn't expect Song Shao's 'dancing' skills to be world-class."

"Just play casually." Song Ren took a sip, asked for another towel, and wiped the sweat off his forehead a little.

"Your family's cartoonist is participating in the selection. It's not appropriate for you to accompany us here?"

"Tch, why is the 'Newcomer Award' as important as you? Besides, our editor is also on the scene, and if something happens, she can handle it." Song Ren took a sip of his cocktail and smiled lightly.

"Hey, Young Master Song, why are you still here?" A young man who had just returned to the bar was taken aback when he saw Song Ren.

"I'm not here, where should I be? You've been in the bathroom for a long time, so there shouldn't be any 'adventures'?" Song Ren teased.

"Mao! Even if there is an adventure, it's not me, but you. Shen is the cartoonist of your magazine, right?"

"That's right, what happened to him?" Song Ren asked in surprise.

"What's wrong? Newcomer award!" The young man gave a thumbs up, "It's been fifteen years, and he's the first to do it—"

Song Yiren was taken aback, and then waved again and again, "Don't make trouble. Didn't everyone say that the 'Newcomer Award' is Teacher Ye?"

"I don't want to be joking, why don't you check it on the Internet, and the 'Long-form Comic Award' is being awarded now!" The young man frowned and said, "Let's say it first, the animation copyright of "ys" must be reserved for me. Just go find the old man."

Song Ren looked at the serious young man, "Is what you said true?"

"I've said it all, Mr. Shen won the 'Newcomer Award'..."

Before the young man finished speaking, Song Ren turned around and rushed out of the bar.

Newcomer Award... Newcomer Award... Newcomer Award... Haha...

Song Ren only had these three words in his mind. He ran to the parking lot in one breath, started the car, and picked up the phone at the same time, preparing to report the good news to Song Tai, only to find that Song Tai had already called four or five times before, but he Been in the bar, didn't hear it.

"The old man... I'm really anxious." Song Ren just wanted to call back, when he suddenly realized that he was not in the live broadcast hall and didn't know the situation at the scene. If the old man asked him, he would immediately reveal his secret.

It's best to contact the old man after I arrive at the live broadcast hall.

Speaking of this, Song Ren put his phone in his pocket, and just about to step on the gas pedal, he thought that if the old man calls again, should he answer it or not?

Just to be on the safe side, I'd better not contact him until now.

Well, it would be better to adjust it to vibrate, and I will presume that I don’t know when the time comes.

After making up his mind, he turned his phone to vibrate, and Song Ren stepped on the accelerator.

...

The comic festival is over,

The major awards have also been settled.

The "Newcomer Award" is not considered the most important award, but because Qiu Gongyu became the award presenter, and Shen Xin's award was beyond the expectations of many media, while breaking the newcomer curse, it also became an upset, so After the grand ceremony, Shen Xin was surrounded by the media to conduct interviews.

Shang Haozhi shook his head helplessly when he saw Shen Xin surrounded by crowds. He wanted to chat with Shen Xin alone for a while, and it seemed that it would be delayed for a while.

"Mr. Shang, this is the 'unpopular' cartoon you mentioned. He won the Newcomer Award because of it." Yuan Zhe walked over and looked at Shang Haozhi with gritted teeth.

"Don't accuse me wrongly. I'm talking about the 'subject matter' that is not popular, but I didn't say that comics are not popular." Shang Haozhi completely denied what he said before.

Originally, he wanted to get in touch with Shen Xin secretly, but he didn't expect to "steal the chicken and lose money". Not only did he not have the chance to meet Shen Xin alone, but he also attracted the attention of Yuan Zhe and other magazines.

Failure, absolute failure!

Shang Haozhi frowned, feeling depressed.

"You're playing word games here again. But, it's still the same sentence, I must argue with you." Yuan Zhe snorted coldly, turned and left.

Shang Haozhi shook his head dejectedly. Just as he was about to walk out of the live broadcast hall, several reporters came over and interviewed him, and the interview questions left him speechless—what do you think of the "newcomer curse" being forced, and Why did "Hunting Abyss" lose to "ys" under the circumstances of such a large-scale publicity.

If possible, Shang Haozhi wanted to throw these two questions in the reporter's face.

Haven’t these people heard of the saying “Don’t hit someone in the face, and don’t expose your faults when you scold them”?

Considering his own image, Shang Haozhi held back his breath and answered the reporter's question casually.

By the time the reporters were sent away, it was almost eleven o'clock.

At this time, the question before Shang Haozhi was to go to Junhao Hotel to rest, or to go home directly.

Shang Haozhi walked out of the hall and was about to go to the parking lot, but suddenly saw a woman with long curly hair, who seemed to be answering the phone on the other side, walking back and forth anxiously outside the hall, and finally put away the phone helplessly.

This woman... seems to be Shen Zheng's editor...

Originally, Shang Haozhi wouldn't care about editors like Yan Fei, but because "ys" is so good, he will inevitably pay more attention to Shen Xin.

Not long after the grand ceremony ended, this woman was interviewed by the media with Shen Xin.

Thinking about it this way, she should be the editor in charge or someone from the magazine.

"Editor in charge..."

Shang Haozhi muttered to himself, suddenly something came to his mind, he hurried down the steps, and said to Yan Fei: "Miss, are you the editor of Mr. Shen?"

"Um."

Yan Fei was in a depressed mood. She wanted to tell Song Tai that Shen Xin had won the "Newcomer Award", but no one answered. Just when he wanted to go back to find Shen Xin, he was stopped by a middle-aged man.

It's just that this middle-aged man looks familiar, but he can't remember who he is for a while.

"Hi, my name is Shang Haozhi, the editor-in-chief of "ic future", do you have time now? I want to chat with you for a while?"

""ic future"? Hello, my name is Yan Fei." Yan Fei responded quickly, but she thought of what Wang Wenhong said.

Didn't expect the editor-in-chief of "ic future" to find her so soon?

"Miss Yan, I won't delay you for too long... just drink a cup of coffee." Shang Haozhi stared at Yan Fei, "I remember there is a coffee shop near the parking lot, so I won't delay your rendezvous with Teacher Shen."

"Well……"

Yan Fei glanced at the lobby, and found that there were people coming and going, and Shen Xin couldn't come out for a while, and if she had the opportunity to say a few words to the editor-in-chief of "ic future", no matter to her or to Shen Xin Xin is very helpful, so he nodded.
