Chapter 438

"Chen Ze, has he come yet?"

In a villa on the outskirts of Paris, a white bearded man in his sixties said. He just received a report that Denise had received Chen Ze from Huaxia.

"I didn't expect Chen Ze to come to Paris a week in advance. It seems that he attaches great importance to this award. But anyway, he's only a 25-year-old, Scott. Although I admit that he is really a very talented cartoonist, it's the biggest recognition for him to be able to nominate him. "

Opposite the white bearded man sat a man about his age. After hearing that Chen Ze had come to Paris, he said. Listen to his tone, he and this white bearded man named Scott are all from grace.

"I know that as the chairman of the Guines organizing committee, I naturally know that at Chen Ze's present age, to be able to nominate him is the greatest affirmation for him. However, since the founding of Davis and Gaines awards in recent decades, although it has become a global award in the last ten years, don't you think we have come to a detour and need some fresh blood to make changes? "

Scott, who has white beard, said that he is actually the chairman of the Organizing Committee of the Gaines prize, and he is also the one who strongly advocates nominating Chen Ze this time. Because of him, Chen Ze was nominated at the age of 25, which has caused a sensation in the whole comic world.

"Detours, what detours?" Davis, opposite Scott, frowned and asked. He is the vice chairman of the Organizing Committee of the Gaines grand prize. If Scott, the chairman, is the one who strongly supports Chen Ze, he is the one who opposes the nomination of Chen Ze.

In his opinion, no matter how talented Chen Ze is, he is too young to be nominated for the Gaines prize at his present age. It was only Scott who was too supportive of Chen ze that Davis reluctantly agreed.

Now when he heard Scott's words, he not only wanted to nominate Chen Ze, but also wanted to present this year's grand prize to him. Are you kidding me? As the highest award in the global cartoon industry, Gaines represents the highest level of cartoonists. How can such an award be awarded to a young man who is not even 30 years old, so that other cartoonists can see his own award.

"In the past ten years, the influence of our Gaines prize has reached the maximum, and the world knows that only those cartoonists who have won our prize can be called the most outstanding cartoonists. As far as this is concerned, our organizing committee has done a good job over the years. "

Scott said that Davis had a proud look on his face when he heard his words. He had been working for Gaines since he was 30 years old. He had been fighting for Gaines for 30 years. Naturally, he was very proud that Gaines could have today.

"But it is this kind of success that hinders our further development. I've seen several consecutive winners in recent years. All of them are veteran cartoonists. Although they have good strength, compared with other cartoonists who have been nominated at the same time, their achievements are not outstanding. The only advantage they have is their age and qualifications. " Scott said.

"What's wrong with that? Originally, the Gaines award is the highest achievement award in the comic book industry. Since it is the highest achievement award, naturally, the first consideration is the age and qualifications. I admit that the previous sessions did have the ability to be no less than those who won the award, or even above them. But these people will naturally win the award when they get older. What's the hurry? " Davis road.

"It's not that simple." Scott shook his head. "The young and talented cartoonists of the past few years must have questioned the fairness of our Gaines prize after they knew that age, not anything else, had hindered them from winning the prize."

"You know, these young and talented cartoonists are the foundation of our Gaines award. If they have doubts about our award, I'm afraid that the influence of our award will be greatly reduced in the future, and even whether it can be called a global award in the future is still unknown."

Scott said that when a thing reaches its peak, it will inevitably go up and down. The same is true of the Gaines prize. After becoming the most influential prize in the world, it has become an unspoken rule to talk about seniority and seniority, forgetting the fairness principle that brought Gaines to the top at the beginning.

If it goes on like this, I'm afraid the once brilliant Gaines prize will slowly decline. It was in this danger that Scott, chairman of the organizing committee, nominated Chen Ze and wanted him to win the highest achievement award.

"The only solution is to let Chen Ze from China win the prize. He is young and Chinese. If he wins the prize, he will inspire the hearts of all young cartoonists in the world and let them know that as long as they have enough ability, they will have the chance to win the prize. In this way, our image of grace among young cartoonists will surely be restored. " Scott told Davis about his plan."I don't agree." Davis shook his head firmly. "Chairman Scott, maybe what you said is reasonable, but when you take care of those young cartoonists, have you ever thought about the ideas of the older generation of cartoonists. If the young cartoonists are happy in your way, I'm afraid the older generation will be disappointed with us. "

"These older generation of cartoonists are the pillars of the global cartoon industry today. If they are disappointed, I'm afraid it will be bad for our prize. And to Chen Ze from China? He's too young, and he doesn't have any global works in the real sense. If he is deliberately presented to him, I'm afraid the world will doubt the fairness of our grand prize. "

After listening to Davis, Scott fell into deep thinking. It has to be said that there is some truth in what Davis said. Indeed, the award to Chen Ze will have a good response to those young cartoonists, but Chen Ze is too young. If he is 20 years old, his current achievements will be enough to win this award.

But he is just a little too young. If he doesn't have the achievement that makes people speechless at this time, I'm afraid that other cartoonists and the media will question his Gaines prize. After all, Scott has also seen Chen Ze's comics, which are really good. He is well-known in East Asia and in the United States.

However, as far as the whole world is concerned, he does not have a world-famous work, so he, coupled with such a young age, is not qualified to win the award.

"Ah, if only Chen Ze could have a work from the east to the West Scott thought to himself this time.

******

Chen Ze didn't know about it at this time, because he had a quarrel between the two people in power in Gaines. Under the leadership of Denise, he and Lin Lan came to the hotel in the center of Paris, which is worthy of being used by the Organizing Committee of Gaines to arrange cartoonists from all over the world.

Whether it's decoration or service, it's top quality. Chen Ze looked around and thought that even if it wasn't the most expensive hotel in Paris, it couldn't be worse.

Of course, with Chen Ze's current wealth, even this kind of hotel, he would not find anything strange. After the initial surprise, he immediately regained his shock and followed Denise to his room.

"Mr. Chen and Miss Lin, this is the room our organizing committee has arranged for you. You can rest here tonight. If you have any uncomfortable place to live, you can call me and I'll solve these things for you. "

Denise said: "in addition, there is still a week to go before the award ceremony. I am your receptionist. I can show you any places you want to visit these days, such as the Louvre, Eiffel Tower, Arc de Triomphe and so on."

"Well, thank you very much." Chen Ze nodded and laughed, "but we have some things these days, maybe we don't have time to go to these places."

"What happened? What's the matter? " Denise is so weird.

"Some cooperation with your French TV station!"
