Chapter 312 Excellent and Best
Two days later, some people in District 11 were still brooding over their chess player's failure to enter the semi-finals.
Due to the influence of "Soul of Chess", many editors in the editorial department of "Youth Leap" have become interested in Go. Therefore, the loss of this game also made them recognize the strength of Go in District 11.
"It would be great if there is really a chess spirit, Zuo Wei is attached to the chess player's body, teach Pu Yongtai a lesson!" Xiaogu sighed sadly, wishing that he could turn into Zuo Wei at this moment.
"Those are all fabricated, there can be no help." Ishizawa retorted.
"Hey, you brat, can't you just follow me?" Kotani glared at Ishizawa, and then looked at Yokoi Ma, only to find that he was almost glued to the screen, looking at the screen energetically.
"Yokai, what's wrong with you?" Kotani asked curiously.
"Let's look at the evaluation of "Soul of Chess" again." Yokoi said.
"I also read it, and the online reviews are finally not so harsh. This issue of the small book also started to move up, ranking No. 8. In fact, Mr. Shen's story arrangement is not a problem, and the foreshadowing has been done before. But there are still many people who have given up on "Soul of Chess", which is really unexpected. The single volume of the 14th volume will be released soon, and I don't know if readers will buy it."
"I checked the sales department's data, and it's basically stable. I'm not worried about the volume 14 volume...Actually, I'm worried about volume 15." Yokoi scratched his head, his face full of helplessness, "In this In the first volume, Zuo Wei will disappear, and it is estimated that the sales volume will not be optimistic."
"That's right. By the way, when is the 14th volume of "ComicFuture" going to be released?" Xiao Gu suddenly remembered this matter.
Huaxia and the 11th districts were released at the same time. "ComicFuture" didn't notify, and they couldn't publish a booklet.
"They are waiting for the results of the 'International Manga Awards'. If they win, it may be marked on the waistband of "Soul of Go". By the way, the award should be selected soon, right?" Yokoi looked at Kotani suspiciously.
"Uh..." Xiaogu thought for a moment, then patted his forehead, "It seems like yesterday?"
Having said that, Kotani, Ishizawa and Yokoi all turned their attention to Murakami Toru.
"What are you doing?" Murakami Toru also noticed the eyes of the three people, and frowned.
"Editor Murakami, didn't the organizing committee call you yesterday?" Yokoi asked quickly
"How is it possible? I've been in the office all day. If I make a call, I should know... huh? Was the award presented yesterday?" Murakami was a little confused. There have been many things going on recently, and he forgot about the "International Manga Award".
Yokoi felt a chill in his heart, not calling means not winning.
"No, no one should be able to threaten "Soul of Chess"." Yokoi said suspiciously.
"That's hard to say. Didn't it mean that "Soul of Chess" is also very likely to win an award at the 'Manga Ceremony'? In the end, there was nothing."
After listening to Ishizawa's words, Yokoi remained silent, pouted depressedly.
"Huh?"
A sound of surprise came from behind Murakami's display screen.
"What's wrong? Editor-in-Chief?" Xiaogu asked quickly.
"Yesterday, there was a call from a stranger, and the phone blocked it." Murakami hid his face behind the screen, a little embarrassed.
"Huh?" Yokoi felt a pain in his forehead.
"You should call back?" Xiaogu reminded.
Murakami hurriedly called, and after saying a few words, he hung up again.
"How is it?" Yokoi asked hastily.
"It's the insurance company." Murakami said dejectedly.
"Is it true that you didn't win the prize?" Yokoi was a little disappointed.
According to the level of participating comics, apart from Western cartoons, "Soul of Chess" is the highest quality.
It's not that "Soul of Chess" is inferior to Western cartoons, but that Eastern and Western cartoons have different styles, and there is no way to compare them from the same starting point.
"that……"
Just as Xiaogu was about to speak, the phone rang again. Murura subconsciously picked up the phone, asked a few casual questions, and then his eyes lit up.
Nodding again and again: "Thank you."
After hanging up the phone, Murakami showed a smile on his face, but glared at Xiaogu again, "Xiaogu, you misremembered the date."
"Huh?" Xiaogu quickly turned on the phone.
"Don't look, the date this year is different from last year, it really scared me to death... Ahem, everyone, "Soul of Chess" won the best award at this year's 'International Comic Awards'. Xiaogu, inform the advertising department to quickly design "Soul of Chess" This sentence must be added to the advertisement for Volume 14." Murakami felt much better.
"Then... I'll notify ComicFuture..." Yokoi picked up the phone.
"Go!" Murakami waved his hands again and again.
"ComicFuture" editorial department.
Wang Wenhong was sorting out the postcards sent by readers, but suddenly heard the phone on the desk ring.
As soon as he picked up the phone, a substandard Huaxia came from the other side of the microphone.
"Hello, is this Mr. Wang Wenhong?"
"it's me."
"Congratulations, "Soul of Chess" won the "International Manga Award" Best Award." Yokoi forcibly restrained his emotions, but the excitement in his tone still showed.
"ah?"
Wang Wenhong was taken aback for a moment, and immediately felt his heart beating faster, and the microphone slipped from his hand and landed on the table.
Happiness came too suddenly.
Hook glared at Wang Wenhong, "What are you doing?"
"Brother Hu, "Soul of Chess"...the best award in the 'International Comic Awards'..." Wang Wenhong blushed.
This is the best news he has heard in the past month.
Shang Haozhi quickly stood up from his seat, "Are you sure?"
"Yeah. Yokoi from "Shounen Leap" just called."
"I'm sure it's the 'Best Award', not the 'Excellence Award', right?" Shang Haozhi asked.
Although there is only one word difference, the weight of the award is very different, and there must be no oolong incident.
"Uh...it seems to be the 'Best Award'." Wang Wenhong scratched his head.
Sometimes people are like this. If you don't emphasize it, there may be no doubts. Once someone questions a certain point or points, he himself will become less sure.
Shang Haozhi knocked on the table twice, and said to Wang Wenhong, "Quickly confirm."
"yes!"
Wang Wenhong immediately picked up the microphone, reconnected with Yokoi, and then said: "Mr. Shang! It is indeed the 'Best Award'!"
"Well, I see." Shang Haozhi rubbed his hands, the corners of his mouth curled up. After a little thought, he picked up the receiver and dialed a number, "Hello, advertising department? Please redesign the girdle of "Soul of Chess" ...Also, the advertisements placed have also been changed. Yes, the advertisements in subways, buses, taxis, bookstores...these places have all been replaced..."
Wang Wenhong took a deep breath, this advertising fee must be expensive... I hope that "Soul of Chess" will be more powerful this time, otherwise it may lose money.
Country Han, the studio of a cartoonist.
Jin Yingchen waited for a call all day long.
The mobile phone on the table rang suddenly, and Jin Yingchen answered the phone immediately, and the assistants' eyes also moved to him.
"Hey, Editor Jiang... huh? Excellence Award? Isn't it 'Best Award'?"
When Jin Yingchen heard the words "Excellence Award", his heart felt like a punctured ball, and he lost all energy.
The Excellence Award is just a consolation prize, and the implication is: "Good job, but not close to the best."
"That... who is the 'Best Award'?"
""Soul of Chess". It deserves its name, and it's no shame to lose to it..."
The editor's words lingered in Jin Yingchen's ears, but she didn't have the heart to listen any more.
