Chapter 563: Grand Prize Announcement

At the end of September, the entire comic circle became restless.

As the award with the highest prize money in China, the selection results of the "Golden Paintbrush" Award have attracted many people's attention.

The total bonus is 10 million, and the "Golden Paintbrush" pays 5 million. These are all cash. Even after paying taxes, it is still enough for many people to spend half their lives.

In addition, there are five "Silver Paintbrush" awards of 1 million.

People live for fame or money, without exception.

But many people doubt, will Duoman.com really send out the 5 million?

This is what everyone is most concerned about.

After all, in Duoman.com's original selection rules, the 5 million grand prize could be vacant.

Wouldn't it be a gimmick, draw a big pie, let others see the pie to satisfy their hunger, right?

However, the first session, no matter how you say it, should have 5 million people, right?

On September 30, at 12:00 noon, the grand prize was finally announced.

In order to avoid the influx of a large number of readers and authors in a short period of time, Duoman.com announced the list of winners at the same time on its official website, Weibo and Manjia.com.

There are a total of 4 winners, three of whom won the "Silver Paintbrush" award, and one person won the "Golden Paintbrush" award.

Although the "Golden Paintbrush" award did not take out 10 million yuan, many people were overjoyed to be awarded a bonus of 7 million yuan. In particular, the "Golden Paintbrush" with the highest prize money will be listed, which is the point.

Any cartoonist, if it is not for this award, will definitely not pay attention to the "Golden Paintbrush" award, which shows that Duoman.com is not drawing cakes to satisfy its hunger.

The three works that won the "Silver Paintbrush" award ranked among the top three in the recommendation list, while the comics that won the "Golden Paintbrush" award ranked fifth.

Anyone who has followed the "Golden Paintbrush" award knows that although this award does not allow private votes, official votes are allowed. Not more than half of the bonus will be put in.

But the results of the selection told everyone that the top ranking of comics does not guarantee winning the grand prize.

The works that won the "Golden Paintbrush" award are well-deserved, but the style of painting is rather peculiar. Basically, a cartoon is outlined through lines, and dot paper is rarely used. The drawing skills of cartoonists, through the tip of the pen and drawing paper, It is vividly reflected.

The name of the manga is Mengxian, and it tells the story of a scholar who accidentally rescued a fairy. The fairy thanked the scholar and gave him a panacea. After taking it, the scholar could dream about what happened in the future at night.

Relying on this advantage, the scholar skyrocketed and made great progress.

This manga has a very high standard in terms of rhythm and drawing skills, and it has indeed widened the gap with other manga.

From this, people who pay attention to the entire award can judge three points: first, as long as they can enter the top ten, it does not need to be too high; the second stage is determined by the expert group; For Mengxian, this comic is better than other works, so it can win the final "Golden Paintbrush" award. Third, the entire award is still based on quality, otherwise there will not be two "Silver Paintbrush" empty The number of places, and directly awarded the "Golden Paintbrush".

This result pointed out the direction for the next entries. Don't think about some weird and messy things, and don't use too many crooked brains. Doing comics is the right way.

The second "Golden Paintbrush" award will still start in December.

Therefore, the rules need to be reworked, and the new rules were also announced in December.

Cartoonists who are interested in the next "Golden Paintbrush" award, seeing this news, are all ready to show their skills.

In comparison, the comic festival seemed a little cold. After all, the "Best Long-form Comic Award" with the highest prize money was only a few hundred thousand, not even comparable to the prize money of the "Silver Paintbrush" award.

As for the award-winning difficulty of "Best Novel", Steeling is far ahead, and other works have no chance at all.

In a dark room, only the digital screen and display screen are on, the girl is biting her thumbnail, staring straight at the four works on the screen.

"No...no...no..."

The girl muttered to herself, repeating two words over and over again.

Her gaze kept scanning the screen, but there was still no Chaos Dancer.

After an unknown amount of time, she finally mustered up the courage to turn on the Penguin and type on the keyboard.

"Mo Mo, I'm sorry, I failed to win the grand prize, and I failed your expectations and name."

"Those are small things that will never be as important as you."

"But, it cost you an extra forty thousand yuan..."

"Don't worry, I haven't bought you a lot of money yet."

When the girl saw this line of words, she immediately frowned and smiled happily.

"However, since you failed to pass, let's put this matter aside. Anyway, the story is almost over, so you must draw a manga well. Don't deal with it. You should also take a good rest, and you may be very tired afterwards. I think After a while, the second session will start in December, and we are going to prepare.”

"Well, miss you"

"Me too."

After typing these three words, the boy stretched his muscles.

"So, only high-quality comics can win the grand prize... You have to think about a way." The boy rubbed his chin, lost in thought.

Although he lost a sum of money, it was acceptable to him.

It's like investing. How can you make a lot of money at the beginning? Always try slowly.

If you fail the first time, try the second time, anyway, he has plenty of time.

...

After the "Golden Paintbrush" award was announced, it attracted the attention of many fans. But only two or three days later, another piece of news quickly spread throughout the comic circle about the steel-refined animation, which will be released on October 5th.

The interior of the editorial department has long been in chaos.

No matter how good the steel refining performance was before, it is not the pinnacle of steel refining after all, but after the animation is released, it will be completely different up.

It is no exaggeration to say that whether icftre can overwhelm other magazines, as well as Duoman.com, all depends on the performance of steel refining animation after it is released.

However, most people think that the results should not be too bad.

In the month when the thirteenth volume was released, Ganglian broke through 800,000 copies. This is already a very exaggerated figure. Many signature comics with animation releases may not be able to reach this figure.

The more people in the company took it for granted, the more pressure Wang Wenhong felt.

A week before the release of the steel animation, he ran all over the bookstores in Nanjiatan, handing out promotional posters and asking about the situation.

These should be the work of the sales department, but how can he sit down?

The publication and printing of Steel Refining Volume 14 is also underway, with a first edition of 1.5 million copies.

From the sales volume, it is enough to see the magazine's confidence in steel refining.

TV stations and websites took turns to broadcast the PV of Steel Refining, and posters of Steel Refining were also plastered in bookstores, supermarkets and common means of transportation.

There are more and more posts on the forum related to steel smelting.

Although Ganglian is still in the plot of the Ishwar Rebellion, the overwhelming advertisements have brought a large number of readers back to this comic.

As time went by, the steel refining animation was finally released.
