The two award-winning fan contestants left Yunhai the next day after visiting Shen Xin's studio. They also politely rejected the serialization contract given to them by the magazine.

Yu Ge drawing fan art is a hobby, and has already found a job, so he doesn't plan to make a living from comics. Miao Wei followed Shen Xin's suggestion and planned to spend the first half of the year to polish a name and hone her basic skills.

Anyway, she just won the award, she doesn't need to think about livelihood issues.

As a result, the magazine wanted to find another "Shen Xin" plan with the help of fan competitions, so it was in vain.

The time has entered October, and the dust has settled for the third stage of the entries.

The final ranking of the rookie list has not changed much.

"Hunting Abyss" is a great ride, almost two million more popular than "Y's".

Shen Xin's "Y's" is not bad either, occupying the second place with an advantage of 1.2 million. "Crime" and "Top of Basketball" ranked three or four, "Man Weekly" "Ghostbusters", barely squeezed into the top five, only 10,000 more than the sixth place.

A penny stumps heroes, and 10,000 people's worth is sometimes very important.

Subsequently, the Cartoonists Association issued invitations to five magazines. From October 4th to 11th, a seven-day meeting was held at Junhao Hotel in Hongchuan.

The comics festival lasted for three days. The first two days were exchanges between major magazines. On the third night, the entire awards party was broadcast live.

Many things are streamlined content, even if they are not posted on the Internet, people who follow the comics festival will know what it is. Therefore, this incident did not make waves on Manjia.com.

However, the cartoonists were not reluctant to be lonely, and made a voting post to let netizens choose the winners in their hearts.

"Hunting Abyss" was no accident and won the "Laureate" of the Newcomer Award. "Crimination" and "Top of Basketball" followed closely. If it weren't for the popularity of "Ghostbusters" was too low, it might even surpass "Y's." ".

"Why? Do these **** look down on "Y's" so much?" Gao Hang watched the voting on the computer, his scalp numb, "No matter how you say "Y's", it is also the second most popular ranking, right?

"Look at what the people who reply below say?" Lu Ning reminded.

"What else can you say?" Gao Hang glanced at the post with an angry look. "They said, the'Newcomer Award' has a curse. The'Newcomer Award' in the past fifteen years has been equally divided by the three major journals. This year, too. No exceptions. They never thought that "Y's" is the second place in the popularity list."

Lu Ning didn't answer Gao Hang, but focused on the post below.

"Don't you know? "Y's" is the second place on the rookie list. Even if it is not as good as "Hunting Abyss", it shouldn't be as good as "Crime" and "Top of Basketball", right?"

This person's thoughts are similar to Gao Hang's thoughts.

Someone also explained the reason below.

"You don't understand. The results of "Y's" are indeed good, but it is only a signature comic in a second-rate magazine. In the past, there were also top-ranking second-rate magazines with good results, but the winners of the'Newcomer Award' in each session were all three. Big issue magazine."

"On the top floor! It is a newcomer at a glance. Some of the more important awards are more likely to be won by the three major journals. This is beyond doubt."

"The'Newcomer's Curse' is not a joke."

…

Lu Ning frowned when she saw this.

She patted Gao Hang on the shoulder and motioned him to step away.

Gao Hang didn't know, so he left the computer chair.

Lu Ning then dropped out of the list of newcomers for the past 15 years from Manjia.com. After careful comparison, as stated in the reply just now, there are a few comics that are not the three major magazines, and they have good results, ranking second and third. Fame, but they all missed the "Rookie Award".

"Teacher Shen, this is really the case." Lu Ning said in surprise.

"I know." Shen Xin stretched the G pen into the ink bottle and leaned a little at the mouth of the bottle to let the excess ink flow back into the ink bottle. He sighed, rather helpless, "But, I have nothing to do. Still Draw the comics first, right?"

The two people looked at each other and felt that what Shen Xin said was right, and it was useless for them to be anxious now. Moreover, if this matter were mentioned again, Shen Xin's mood might be even more anxious.

Thinking of this, the two sighed and returned to the workbench.

The comic festival is approaching, and Shen Xin will inevitably be nervous and anxious. It's like the kind of heart-felt suffering when the online novel he wrote before crossing the shelves. There is no way to mention it like others.

Shen Xin also understands that he can't influence the practices and opinions of others, and can only do his own thing.

In the end, simply put these thoughts behind, and Shen Xin didn't bother to think too much.

"By the way, do you want to go to the comics festival?" Shen Xin asked.

"Can you?" Lu Ning asked in surprise.

Gao Hang also had the same look.

"Although I don't know how the arrangements are made there, there may be no way to enter the live broadcast, but it shouldn't be a problem to take you to Hongchuan for two or three days." Shen Xin said.

As the comics festival approaches, the organizer will send an invitation letter. In addition to the participating cartoonists, related personnel from the magazine will also go to the scene.

As for assistants, they certainly don’t have the right to go there, but if they pay for themselves, it’s another story.

Shen Xin also thought about taking two people out, maybe it would be helpful to their future development.

Gao Hang looked excited and nodded again and again.

Lu Ning lowered her head and kept silent, holding a round pen, drawing the effect line.

If you can really participate in the manga festival...it would be good.

…
