Chapter 725: Golden Paintbrush Award
The last time Shen Xin left the country was at the premiere of "The Big Dipper Cup". After a few years, readers who remembered Shen Xin's appearance were after all a minority.
Moreover, this time, a makeup artist designed his hairstyle and clothing, which was slightly different from the previous image. Therefore, even if he was given a shot, unless he was an acquaintance, it would be difficult to recognize him at a glance.
When the host announced that the award presenters were Shen Zheng and Su Han, the audience was silent, and even the barrage in the live broadcast room suddenly decreased.
Shen Zheng is the signature cartoonist of "Comic Future", and his importance to "Comic Future" even exceeds that of Wang Yunze back then. When he appeared at the scene, the atmosphere at the scene was already very weird, let alone appearing on the stage as an award presenter.
This is equivalent to a multi-command website platform.
Some people also thought that Shen Zheng would come out to present the award, because Wang Yunze had already appeared on the stage, unless the cartoonists behind him could surpass Wang Yunze, otherwise, Duoman.com had no reason to arrange it like this.
There is only one cartoonist in China who is more popular than Wang Yunze, and that is Shen Zheng.
Now, after many years, Shen Zheng reappeared on the stage, which made many people feel refreshed.
Regardless of whether they are Shen Zheng's readers or not, they all want to see what the most popular cartoonist in China will look like.
Some people were looking forward to it, while others were dissatisfied with Shen Xin's appearance on stage.
After hearing Shen Xin's name, Shang Haozhi frowned, and his heart became more dignified. Yu Chen, who was about to rest, also felt the pressure.
At least in the next few days, domestic public opinion will be biased towards Duoman.com, and some people will even compare Duoman.com with "Comic Future" again.
Mr. Shen, what exactly do you want to do?
Shang Haozhi and Yu Chen thought of the same thing almost at the same time.
Shen Xin didn't realize that he had become the focus of public opinion. He took Su Han's fingertips and walked slowly to the stage. The two appeared on the live broadcast screen at the same time.
Shen Xin's hair is not long, but after being trimmed by a stylist, he looks extra energetic. He is wearing a small blue suit on his upper body, matched with a light blue shirt, dark jeans and white sneakers on his lower body.
This outfit is not particularly serious, revealing youth and vitality.
Su Han was wearing a light purple evening dress,
Wearing a silver heart-shaped necklace around the neck, it exudes a kind of nobility from the inside out.
The two stood on the stage and instantly became the center of the stage.
After a pause of about two or three seconds, there was warm applause at the scene.
The outstanding applause surprised Shen Xin. Su Han took the microphone from the host and said "Thank you".
The stands burst into applause again.
The barrage slides across the screen quickly, making people dizzy.
"Mr. Shen is so young?"
"No, Teacher Duan and Teacher Wang also came up just now, but compared with Teacher Shen, they are obviously old-fashioned."
"Aren't they older than Mr. Shen?"
"How can there be? Teacher Duan is only in his thirties."
"It seems that among the cartoonists who received the award, some are older than Mr. Shen."
"No way, Mr. Shen made his debut too early. When he won the rookie award, he seemed to be only eighteen or nineteen years old."
"Isn't it said that cartoonists are easy to gain weight? Teacher Shen doesn't show it at all."
"No, shouldn't the focus be Teacher Shen personally presenting the award?"
"Suddenly, I feel that the comics that get the golden brush are very profitable..."
...
Shen Xin waited until the applause disappeared before picking up the microphone.
"First of all, I would like to thank Duoman.com and Popot for giving me and Teacher Su such an opportunity to meet you here. At the same time, I would also like to thank Duoman.com for hosting such an award, which can give many cartoonists a chance. To prove yourself. Here, everyone uses their own works to gain the recognition of readers.
"This is a piece of soil, every cartoonist can plant the seeds called dreams. Of course, not every cartoonist can stand on this stage and receive a million prize, but in two years, for a cartoon It is still very early for the works, because some works will be serialized for 10 years, and some works will even be serialized for a lifetime. These award-winning works only have a higher starting point than the non-award-winning manga, but it does not mean that the achievements of the award-winning works in the future, It must be higher than the failed comics.
"Comics are created by people, so, cartoonists, your works are highly dependent on your attitude. I also hope that everyone cherishes their works, just like readers cherish your works."
After getting the microphone, Shen Xin couldn't help but say a few words, and as soon as the words fell, someone raised his hand and said: "Mr. Shen, I have a question."
Shen Xin's eyelids twitched, why did people ask him when he presented an award?
What made him even more helpless was that the host handed over the microphone in a timely manner.
That person was sitting in the first few rows, he should be a manga practitioner.
He took the microphone, feeling a little excited inside, "Teacher, you said that the works that were not selected have a chance to come up again. Do you believe this sentence? Or is this just a bowl of 'chicken soup'?"
Su Han glanced at Shen Xin, and whispered, "Someone questioned you."
The two were about the same height, Shen Xin could hear it clearly, but he pretended not to hear it.
"Do you think, whether I believe it or not, will it affect me?" Shen Xin asked back.
"So, it's still 'Chicken Soup for the Soul'?" The man was a little frustrated.
"Actually, I have already answered it just now. It is the creator's attitude that determines the performance of a work. Readers know clearly whether it is a work that can be dealt with. Also, painting at a desk all day does not mean that the author puts all his energy into the work. On the one hand, comics will consume the author's physical strength, and on the other hand, the cartoonist must think carefully about how to make the work better and how to make the readers more satisfied. Attitude, you have to consider these two aspects, right?"
The audience nodded and sat down, Shen Xin looked at Su Han again.
"Let's start announcing the list of winners, Mr. Su?"
The main purpose of his coming here is to present awards, and even if he wants to answer these questions, it should be after the show is over.
"Okay, next, we are about to announce the last award for tonight, the winning works of the Golden Paintbrush." Su Han took out the envelope from the tray carried by the hostess, "The winning works of the second Golden Paintbrush Award yes--"
A rush of drums sounded, and the heart of the cartoonist who hadn't yet won the prize was raised in his throat.
"The winning work is the sci-fi comic "Doomsday Rescue", and the winner is 'masker'. Congratulations to this cartoonist." Shen Xin was a little surprised when she read the author's name.
A masker means a person wearing a mask. Wouldn't someone dress up like V in "V for Vendetta" and accept the award on stage?
"Doomsday Rescue" is the favorite to win the Golden Paintbrush Award. The recommended votes have been ahead of other works since the first month, and the quality of the comics is also very high. Therefore, such a work deserves the award.
But no one has ever seen the author's appearance. Even Yuan Zhe and Qian Sheng have only seen the "masker" certificate, but not the real person.
"It really is this comic. I don't know if 'masker' will appear, he should be the most mysterious author." Qiuqian sighed, and suddenly, Fan Yinmo, who was sitting next to her, stood up and said in surprise, "Honey, what are you going to do?"
"Me?" Fan Yinmo adjusted his tie and collar, showing a wicked smile, "Of course I'm going to accept the award."
