Chapter 306: Bao Jiyi's Attitude

The genius remembers the address of this site in a second: (Apex Chinese), the fastest update! No ads! "Is there any evidence?"

"No, it's just a speculation. But many people have tacitly understood it and haven't discussed it publicly. I'm ashamed to say that I didn't notice this before the announcement of the 'Best Novel' results." Shang Haozhi sighed .

Dominance by one family has always been something that any industry fears.

As the top three publications, "ComicFuture" is already superior in strength.

At the beginning of this year, "Soul of Chess", "Legend of the Dragon King" and "Hunting Abyss" broke out one after another, making the sales of "ComicFuture" exceed six million copies, which is almost the sum of the sales of the other two magazines. Once the "best novel", the momentum of "ComicFuture" cannot be contained.

The "Manga Festival" is different from ordinary manga awards. Its judging committee is composed of the editor-in-chief of the magazine, and there is a strong competitive relationship between them.

When the strength shown by a magazine far exceeds that of other magazines, some people will definitely feel dissatisfied.

Turning around, it turns out that the purpose of these judges is to stop the momentum of "ComicFuture".

"You mean, it's not that Teacher Shen didn't do well enough, but that "Soul of Chess" was implicated?" Bao Jiyi was silent for a long time before he said bravely.

"It must be related to the recent episode of "Soul of Chess", which gave them an excuse to take down "Soul of Chess." Shang Haozhi sighed, "I am not eligible to vote, and these contents are just what other people said. It sounds like There was a taste of 'conspiracy theory'. Later, it is said that in order to balance the various magazines, they awarded the 'Newcomer Award' to Luo Zheng."

"Put P! Can the 'Newcomer Award' compare with the 'Best Novel'? Two awards are not a heavyweight at all!" Bao Jiyi slapped the table hard twice.

""Soul of Chess" is too sharp this year. I heard people say that some editors think that a work like "Soul of Chess" can be elected even next year, so there is no need to worry." Shang Haozhi also felt angry.

Bao Jiyi took a deep breath, and snorted coldly: "Why put the award that can be won this year until next year? They think they are a bank? There will be interest if you let it go for a year?"

"These contents are just what I heard, and we have no conclusive evidence." Shang Haozhi said depressedly.

Bao Jiyi tapped the table twice, thought for five minutes, and then said to Shang Haozhi: "Don't tell Mr. Shen the truth of this matter yet. You tell me the three candidates for the 'Best Long-form Comic Award' .Since "ComicFuture" is involved, it is impossible to let this matter go. These people can eat the bones if they want, but they must keep the meat."

"Then... this is the first thing to do?" Shang Haozhi asked doubtfully.

"Let's do this first? Good idea! Do you think Yishu culture is a soft persimmon? Old Shang, you let me know that "ComicFuture" is going to withdraw from the 'Comic Festival'." Bao Jiyi's face was grim.

"Huh? Quit?" Shang Haozhi's forehead was covered with cold sweat.

As the most authoritative comic awards ceremony in China, if "ComicFuture" is missing, then this grand ceremony will not be worthy of its name, but "ComicFuture" may also be isolated by other magazines.

It's a lose-lose decision.

"Director Bao, you should stop thinking about it." Shang Haozhi said hastily.

Bao Jiyi pushed the frame of his glasses, with a sneer on his face, "If you let them succeed the first time, there will be a second time, and you have to hurt them. It's not impossible to give them the 'Best Long Comic Award', But the meat must be eaten by us."

Shang Haozhi nodded silently, he couldn't change what Bao Jiyi had decided.

...

Soon, the news that "ComicFuture" planned to withdraw from the "Comic Festival" spread throughout the Chinese comic circle, causing an uproar.

The Cartoonists Association and the other six major magazines felt the pressure immediately.

At first they just thought that "ComicFuture" would suffer a dull loss, but they didn't expect that "ComicFuture" would have such a strong rebound.

This surprised these people. They had already given the "Best Newcomer Award" to "ComicFuture". The loss of Bao Jiyi and Shang Haozhi was not too great.

The Cartoonist Association and six other magazines got together, and after a long discussion, they finally decided to negotiate with ComicFuture.

The quality and reputation of "Soul of Chess" is obvious to all in the comics industry, and there are also many people who have questioned the result of this award.

In order to eliminate the negative impact, the organizing committee must find ways to resolve differences as soon as possible.

The negotiation process was very tortuous and very confidential. It took a total of one week to negotiate.

Even Shang Haozhi only knew that Bao Jiyi made a concession because the Cartoonist Association and the six magazines contributed a part of the revenue from the broadcast. other magazines.

To paraphrase a saying on the Internet - you may make money, but I definitely don't lose money.

Shang Haozhi breathed a sigh of relief just now, but the editorial department fell into chaos again——Chapter 124 "Farewell" of "Soul of Chess" was officially published.

In this episode, Xiao Guang played a game of chess with the drunk Xu Fang.

Of course, it was Zuowei who took over. In the end, Xu Fang, half drunk and half awake, lost the chess game.

After returning home, the exhausted Xiao Guang played chess with Zuo Wei, his eyes gradually became sore, and sleepiness hit his heart.

"Xiaoguang, by the way, Xiaoguang...can you hear my voice? Xiaoguang! During this period of time, I am so happy..."

Zuo Wei's voice became smaller and smaller, and gradually blurred.

Xiaoguang yawned and said listlessly, "Hey, it's your turn!"

No one answered.

"I said, it's your turn! Zuo Wei!"

No one answered Xiaoguang.

The last two pages are double-page spreads. Shen Xin used the perspective to draw Xiaoguang's room.

The windows were open, a breeze blew into the room, and the curtains swayed with the breeze.

In the room, there was no one else except Xiao Guang.

Zuowei...disappeared!

Not long after the latest issue of ComicFuture came out, a reader called.

"Is it Comic Future?"

"That's right." Jian Xiaomei said in response.

"Please tell Teacher Shen... let him die!"

Jian Xiaomei looked confused and hung up the phone before she could react.

"What's going on?" Jia Hui asked Jian Xiaomei in surprise.

"I..." Jian Xiaomei didn't know how to answer, she couldn't say "readers let Teacher Shen die"?

At this moment, another reader called. Jia Hui picked up the receiver, and before he could speak, he heard cursing from the receiver.

"Shen Zheng is such a rubbish person, he is also drawing manga, let him go!"

"I……"

Just as Jia Hui opened his mouth, the phone hung up again.

These two calls were just the beginning, and then several more calls were made, and the content was equally unsightly.

Shang Haozhi looked at the editor who kept answering the phone in the office, his expression became more serious.
