Chapter 85： Magic City

Madu, the economic hub of the Long Kingdom.

Here, the elites from all walks of life in the Dragon Kingdom are brought together.

Similarly, in the Dragon Kingdom comics world, the status of the magic capital is very important. Except for the special place of RB Island, the magic capital comics industry is the benchmark of the dragon country comics industry.

After more than three hours of high-altitude flight, and stepping on the ground again, Chu Yu and Zhao Qinyin are undoubtedly more stable in their hearts.

It’s just that the feeling of airsickness may take some time to get rid of.

As soon as they walked out of the airport, Pang Feng and Song Jiayu, who were used to seeing the big scene, looked as usual, but Chu Yu and Zhao Qinyin looked around.

After leaving the airport, he saw a familiar scene as soon as he went out. There are many advertisements posted on buses and subways.

Real estate information, high-end restaurants, celebrity endorsements, and of course comic characters that are popular in the magic capital.

Chuyu walked all the way, with a look of curiosity.

Soon, after nearly an hour's drive, a group of four arrived at a hotel that seemed not cheap.

"This is the hotel arranged by the Dragon Star Award Committee. Except for us, the authors of the ten works that entered the second round of the first round of selection and the comic company staff behind them are all invited here." Editor-in-chief Pang Feng clearly knows these matters.

After coming here, Pang Feng called, and soon a middle-aged man in a suit and leather collar walked out of the hotel elevator with a smile on his face.

"Friends of Los Angeles, welcome! I am a staff member of the Dragon Star Award Selection Committee. I am responsible for your accommodation, hospitality and safety issues in Los Angeles before the selection meeting. My name is Lin Yong..."

While speaking, Lin Yong looked at Chu Yu and the other four people with his eyes, and he also murmured in his heart.

Although Chu Yu and Zhao Qinyin did not wear school uniforms, but each put on their usual casual clothes, their age can naturally be seen at a glance.

Two boys and girls aged seventeen or eighteen, accompanied by a middle-aged man, plus a young man.

This combination is obviously something wrong.

The other comic teams hosted by Lin Yong today usually consist of five or six people. The comic authors will definitely be there. Needless to say, the editors, the senior management of the comic club may or may not come, depending on their arrangements. As for the comic assistant or others Whether the comic creation team has a chance to come, all depends on the arrangement of the comic agency.

But no matter which team it is?

I haven't seen anyone under the age of twenty, let alone two?

"Uh, I don't know everyone, who is the author of Rurouni Kenshin Remembrance Chapter Shui Xin?" Lin Yong asked suspiciously.

"By the way, it was my mistake!" Pang Feng said.

looked at Chu Yu and others to introduce them one by one.

"This is Song Jiayu, the deputy editor of our Cuttlefish Comics section."

"This is Zhao Qinyin, the manga assistant of Rurouni Kenshin Remembrance."

Finally, Pang Feng looked at Chu Yu.

"This is the author of Rurouni Kenshin Remembrance, Shui Xin. Real name, Chu Yu!"

Lin Yong was stunned for a few seconds when he heard the words, and then he looked at Chu Yu's eyes carefully, the solemn expression in his eyes became more intense.

Long Kingdom comics has always had a phenomenon.

That is the creative talent of young people, creative talents are often more abundant.

Many old cartoonists, when they were young, were full of talents and excellent works appeared frequently. But after the age of thirty, the submission is like a sponge squeezing water. Although it can be squeezed out, the plot of the comic is always so agile.

Therefore, the major companies in the Longguo comics industry pay particular attention to the training of young comic artists.

Although the first round of the 　　 Dragon Star Awards has been over for two weeks, the popularity of this work about Rurouni Kenshin Remembrance has not dissipated in the magic capital, and even the whole Dragon Kingdom.

In comic exhibitions all over the country, cos about Xuedaiba and Kenshin often appeared and it always caused a lot of commotion. Various comic groups in the magic city, during this period of time, the fan creation of Rurouni Kenshin Remembrance Emerge in endlessly.

Although in terms of influence, it is still much inferior to the hot serialized works in magazines of the same level as the Magic Capital Seven.

But only the four-week Long Star Award first round selection can make such waves in the Long Country comics industry, which has fully proved the commercial value of this work and the wide audience.

And from the beginning, many cartoonists in the magic city comics industry will have a sense of superiority after eating the entries for this Dragon Star Award.

But after the end of the Rurouni Kenshin Remembrance on the Dragon Star Awards official website, this behavior has basically disappeared.

It is true that many cartoonists in the magic city, after seeing this work, think that they are not qualified to comment on this work with a high profile.

Originally, the entire Magic Capital comics industry did not know the situation in Los Angeles. Most people thought that Shui Xin was at least a middle-aged cartoonist over 30 years old.

In this case, although Shui Xin's strength is very strong, it will not cause the comic magnates of the magic city to pay too much attention.

After all, the inspiration period for comic creation is about to die.

But if Shui Xin is really the teenage boy in front of me...

Lin Yong understands!

There is no doubt that after the Dragon Star Award, this person's value in the eyes of the giants in the magic city comics industry has risen several times!

"Teacher Shui Xin, right? Long Yang Yang Yang!" Lin Yong stretched out his hand toward Chu Yu.

shook hands with Chu Yu, then shook hands with Pang Feng, Song Jiayu, and Zhao Qinyin in turn.

The few people didn't talk too much, Lin Yong immediately led the four to their respective rooms, and asked them to pay attention to safety, not to run around in the magic city and get lost, and then left.

The Dragon Star Award Presentation Ceremony will be officially held at a venue near this hotel at 8 o'clock tomorrow evening.

At that time, not only the comic team members of the ten award-winning comics will be present, but even some well-known comic artists from the city will be invited as guests. Off-site, some tickets will be sold to fans of these ten works.

There will be thousands of people in the entire venue by then, and the entire venue will be broadcast live.

"Huh..." After flying the plane for such a long time, Chu Yu was a bit tired.

Soon, I lay in bed and fell asleep.

In the afternoon, Chu Yu was awakened by a rapid knock on the door.

"Who!" Chu Yu opened the door.

Outside the door is a bearded man with black-rimmed glasses.

Although he had gotten some rumors about Shui Xin a long time ago, there was still a hint of surprise in his eyes when he saw that the person who opened the door was such a young boy.

"Hello, it's Teacher Shuixin!" The bearded man said with a smile.

"What's the matter?" Chu Yu's eyes rose with alertness.

"Uh, teacher Shui Xin, don't get me wrong..." The bearded man first handed Chu Yu a business card.

Chuyu took a look.

Shanghai Tianji Comics Co., Ltd. comic editor...... I wish you business.

"Teacher Shui Xin is really as rumored, young and promising, handsome and handsome, just as the information shown on the business card, I am a comic editor of the Tianji Comics Company, one of the seven major cities of the magic city, and I am here this time only to represent Tianji Send an invitation to you, Teacher Shuixin, if Mrs. Shuixin intends to develop towards Lemodu in the future...Heaven’s secret will not let you down!"

After finishing speaking, Zhu Shang didn't bother Chu Yu to rest too much. After a few polite words, he left.

"Heavenly secret?" Chu Yu shook his head.

"Will the secret of one of the Seven Great Capitals actually invite me?"

"What a surprise!"

Chu Yu thought for a while, but put away this business card, maybe it will be useful in the future!

Soon, Chu Yu felt sleepy and was about to continue to sleep.

But I haven't fallen asleep yet.

There was another knock on the door.

Outside the door, there is a woman about twenty-seven or eighteen years old, with good looks and wearing a professional western skirt.

"Teacher Shui Xin? Hello......." The woman looked at Chu Yu and smiled.

...

An hour or so later.

Chu Yu is completely relieved of sleepiness.

There are about a dozen business cards in his hand.

The seven major comic companies in the Magic City, Phoenix, Black Tortoise, Tianji, Seven Leaves, Orange Cat, Aoba, Water Hedgehog.

Almost all comic editors have offered him cooperation intentions.

Even some comic companies have two or three comic editors from the same house.

In addition to the Magic City Seven, other small and medium comic companies in the Magic City also have comic editors to come to try their luck, and the promised conditions are also very generous.

"What's the situation?"

Chuyu couldn't think of it. It only took a few hours to run the demons by himself.

The Dragon Star Award ceremony will only start one day later. How many invitations have been received from these comics clubs?

Why Chuyu feels like a sweet potato for a while, everyone wants to take a bite.

In fact, Chu Yu was right.

Judging from the situation of the winners of the Dragon Star Awards over the years, basically such people can eventually go a long way in the Dragon Kingdom comics industry.

In addition, Lin Yong bragged with his friends in the comics industry after leaving with Chu Yu and others, leaking Chu Yu’s age information, and the water heart contract revealed by some magic capital personnel who have connections with the comic industry in Los Angeles is about to come. Expired message.

A young manga genius... and it seems that the contract is about to expire.

It is normal for the editors of these comic companies to come to hand over a business card after hearing the news.

This situation is not unique to Chu Yu, and other Dragon Star Award contestants have received more or less invitations from these people.

It's just that it's not as exaggerated as Chu Yu!

...

Night...Chu Yu and Su Lu exchange messages.

"How is it? Are you in the magic capital?"

"It's early, and now I'm a guest here with a senior of my cuttlefish, Chu Yu, you can never guess, the situation of my senior in the magic city!"

"I haven't been in contact with her for two years, and I have never known her situation. I really didn't expect that she actually helped us in the first round of the Dragon Star Award, the manga artist Tang Xin's manga editor in charge."

After reading it, Chuyu typed quickly.

"what's the situation?"

"In other words, at the end of the Dragon Star Award, Tang Xin's canvassing behavior was instructed by your senior to help you?"

"Why is it so complicated? Tang Xin's behavior is purely her personal behavior. But I can only sigh that this world is so small..."

This is true, but Chu Yu is too lazy to sigh with emotion.

"These are trivial things...You also know our purpose. Remember to get involved in the conference tomorrow, otherwise you will not be on stage when I call your name on stage. Wouldn't I be embarrassed?"

"You can rest assured that for tomorrow's Dragon Star Awards ceremony, the special guest invited by the organizer is Tang Xin. I will get in with my predecessors and it will be done."

"Let's do it! Anyway, you can figure it out by yourself."

...

Soon, one day passed.

Although the authors of the ten entries all live in this hotel, they have no contact with each other. The only thing in common is that everyone has a contact person... Lin Yong.

In the afternoon, everyone left the hotel one after another and came to a venue not far from the hotel.

Here is the venue of the Dragon Star Award ceremony.

In any case, the Dragon Star Award is the most influential comics award besides the more influential awards in Kaimodu.

And based on so many years of experience, the Dragon Star Award selection has also been called by outsiders as the Magic City Seven Preparatory Camp Award.

is called this way because over the years, all cartoonists who can enter the second round of the Dragon Star Award and win the top five places are basically one of the seven major cities of the magic city.

The Seven Magic Capitals exist in this way. Sales channels are spread all over the country, and comics elites emerge in endlessly, and even if there are one or two particularly outstanding cartoonists in the production areas outside the Magic Capital, such guys are also because of the Dragon Star Award. It was exposed, and was eventually taken under the command of the Seventh Demon Capital.

And this year, there are two or three people in such a typical example.

Shui Xin, the author of Rurouni Jianxin Remembrance, Zhang Yun, the author of Blazing Feather, and Sun Ji, the author of Soul of War, are undoubtedly the focus of the award.

Although most people agreed that this award should be the best part of Rurouni Kenshin Remembrance, but before the result comes out, everything is possible.

Outside the venue, a crowd of comic fans gathered in all kinds of cos suits.

Among them, the beautiful young ladies of cos Xuedaiba saw it at a glance, and the number was so high that they attracted passers-by to take pictures.

And most of the cos Jianxin’s are Fat House, not to mention what flying sword flow is used, even a group of people who are struggling to jump up and half a meter can actually wave the props in their hands and swing the poss. Speaking of spicy eyes.

stepped into the venue, Chu Yu, Zhao Qinyin, Song Jiayu, Pang Feng and others took their seats according to the position number plate given by Lin Yong.

At a glance, the place where Chu Yu and others are located in the entire scene should be where the ten participating comic creation groups are seated.

In front, there are judges sent by the Seven Magic Capitals to participate in the conference. The rest are the guests and fans who have been invited by the conference.

But today, it is obvious that after watching the audience, the fans who have an overwhelming advantage are undoubtedly the fans of Rurouni Kenshin Remembrance.

Banners and cos outfits raised by people who are different from each other are all related to Rurouni Kenshin Remembrance.

Then there are fans of Blazing Feather. Although there are not as many fans as Rurouni Kenshin Remembrance, it should not be underestimated.

"You said, which work is most likely to be awarded this time?"

Song Jiayu's side, several colleagues from Yun and Yue provinces discussed together.

"Then you need to talk about it? It's the Rurouni Kenshin Remembrance chapter that didn't run away!"

"No, I think Blazing Feather still has a big chance! Although the first round is only second, but after entering the second round, the two works are very different."

"In comparison, Rurouni Kenshin Remembrance Chapter 50 points, Fiery Feather 40 points, War Soul 30 points, the difference between them is not big, after all, the total of the seven comic companies in the magic city is 70. In addition, plus the votes of the 137 participating comic clubs from various provinces, a total of 207 points will be allocated to each work. If nothing else, maybe your work in Yun Province and our work in Yue Province Also have a chance to win?"

"Don't think so well? Put aside these factors...I will just talk about quality, out of the nine works, is there enough for this work?......"

As he talked, more and more people were discussing. At this time, they also noticed Chu Yu and his party.

After all, the people in this film are basically people who have entered the second round of comics.

"Hey, which contestants are these few works?" A man looked at Chu Yu and others and asked.

"Uh...it's the manga you discussed a lot before, the creator of this manga, Rurouni Kenshin Remembrance." Song Jiayu spoke first.

"I am the comic editor of this work, the deputy editor of Cuttlefish Comics Club, Song Jiayu!"

"Rurouni...Jianxin..." The people on the opposite side were stunned for a few seconds, but they reacted immediately.

When Song Jiayu said something, almost all the people around who heard the words looked over.

"Oh, Jiu Yang..." the other party immediately polite.

In the front row of Chu Yu, it was the five cartoon teams of Qin Province who were selected into the top ten works. As the overlord of the Dragon Star Award in previous years, they unexpectedly lost to Rurouni Kenshin Remembrance in the first round of selection. After hearing what Song Jiayu said, he couldn't help turning his head, UU reading www. uukanshu.com looked at the four of them.

It’s just... they didn’t see anything famous either!

On the contrary, Song Jiayu was on the side, blowing up with his comic colleagues from other provinces.

said how he discovered the heart of the water with his eyes and beads, and how he discussed the plot with the heart of the water, and completed this work perfectly.

Chu Yu, Zhao Qinyin, Pang Feng and the three of them looked weird.

couldn't help but get a thought in his heart.

Why does this guy have such a thick skin?

From beginning to end, what else did you do besides working backwards?

In front of three people who knew it, it was true that ordinary people couldn't do it without changing their expressions.

Of course, in the eyes of those from other provinces who don't understand the inside story, Song Jiayu has already left the shadow of an excellent manga editor in their eyes at this time.

For a time, Song Jiayu became the center of those around him.

......

Soon, the award ceremony began.

On the stage, a female host came onto the stage. On the huge screen on the stage, ten egg-shaped options that click to open appeared, marked with numbers from one to ten. .

At this time, Song Jiayu also gradually ceased his bragging journey!

The audience fell silent.

Chuyu shot his eyes everywhere, but didn't see where Su Lu was? After all, there are too many people.

"Hello everyone, I am the host of this awards ceremony, Han Die, and now I announce the official start of the Dragon Star Award ceremony!" said the female host on stage.

The whole scene boils all at once.

(The two chapters are updated together! I will end this plot as soon as possible and start the next series of works! Otherwise, the rhythm will be too slow!)
