Chapter 151: Hardworking Wang Wenhong
As the Junhao Hotel has to organize the selection of the comics festival, the workload has increased, so the original manpower of the hotel is dwarfed.
Wang Wenhong "coincidentally" went to apply for the job and got the opportunity of a waiter.
"Looking at you being so positive, next month I will tell you a few more words in front of the supervisor next month, so that you can become more regular." An old employee patted Wang Wenhong on the shoulder twice.
"Okay, thank you very much." Wang Wenhong took out a cigarette and put another cigarette on the old employee.
Not long ago, after separating from Yan Fei, he returned to Hongchuan again. Under the guidance of the night school teacher, he applied for the waiter of Junhao Hotel and spent a small sum of money to join the logistics department.
In addition to cleaning, collecting sheets, and distributing toiletries, Wang Wenhong's other job is to place and organize manga pamphlets in the guest rooms of the Sovereign Hotel.
This job was very tiring, and many waiters were reluctant to do it. However, Wang Wen took over the task of putting comics in Hongda.
In the consciousness of the old employees, Wang Wenhong is just a part-time job, and it should be done more work. Newcomers want to stay, relying on enthusiasm.
Unexpectedly, the purpose of Wang Wenhong's coming in was to display comics in each room.
"ComicFuture", "MangaFly" and "Manweekly" all entered the newcomer awards. Therefore, the editors of these three magazines were not eligible to vote, and Wang Wenhong did not place "Y\'s" in their rooms— -It is a waste to put it on, and they don't vote.
In the other rooms, not only "Y\'s" is placed, but also a set of 5 copies, while other comics, like "Hunting Abyss", although there are also, but most of them are not complete.
Wang Wenhong's purpose is simple, to allow these editors who usually dismiss the signature comics of second-rate magazines to have more opportunities to come into contact with "Y\'s".
Since there are many cartoons participating in the selection, Wang Wenhong also had to use some small brains. For example, the height of "Y\'s" placed on the shelf is at the same level as most people's eyes. The editor-in-chief does not need to deliberately search. You can notice "Y\'s" and even "Y\'s" is placed in the most conspicuous place on the bookshelves in the corridors and the dining room.
Of course, placing comics is relatively easy. The difficulty is to organize comics every day, including restaurants, corridors, and meeting rooms. These places must be organized every day. The waiter must put the comics scattered around the hotel in their proper places.
Wang Wenhong is the most active, and in many cases he organizes an area by himself. The old staff was very moved. Every time they ate, they put chicken legs in Wang Wenhong's bowl, which made him feel guilty.
In fact, Wang Wenhong also knows that it is simply unrealistic to let every editor-in-chief see "Y\'s", but as long as one or two editors-in-chief have watched it, "Y's" has a chance to turn around. Because in order to win the final award, the winner must get 4 votes or more. Therefore, the judges often have to go through multiple votes to determine the final winner.
In the second or even third round of voting, the number of comics will be reduced, the time for the judges to argue will also become longer, and they will return to the comics themselves.
In terms of the quality of comics, "Y\'s" is better than other comics, especially the recent one-line book, Wang Wenhong even thinks that he can enter the selection of "Best Long-form Comic of the Year". Although he may not be able to win the prize in the end, Shen Xin's handling of the storyboard and the layout of the plot are already in place.
This is also one of the reasons why he is more optimistic about Shen Xin-Shen Xin's progress is too fast.
Whether it is the editor-in-chief of a second-rate magazine or the editor-in-chief of the three major magazines, they have their own understanding of comics.
As long as they have carefully watched "Y\'s", they can quickly perceive the advantages of "Y\'s".
At that time, only one argument is needed, which may change the selection process.
This is what Wang Wenhong can do for "Y\'s".
If he goes one step further, once he is found out, his behavior is to smear the face of "Y\'s". Shen Xin certainly didn't want him to make any small moves.
What "Y\'s" lacks is not strength, but an opportunity for fair competition.
Now, he created this opportunity to give those editor-in-chief who know a little about "Y\'s" more opportunities to get in touch with "Y\'s", so that they can use "Y\'s" when voting. 's' is also taken into consideration, which is enough.
As for the final luck of "Y\'s", this is not within his control.
In the first four days, most of the awards of the comic festival have been settled. However, due to the signing of a confidentiality agreement, the final results cannot be announced to the public. Once someone leaks out, the magazine will be permanently cancelled and participate in the comic festival. s right.
Among all the awards, only the "Newcomer Award", "Huaxia Comics Lifetime Achievement Award", and "Annual Best Feature Comic Award" were left without selection.
This year’s "Lifetime Achievement Award" is estimated to be vacant again, so the important awards are only the "Newcomer Award" and the "Annual Best Feature Comic Award".
"ComicFuture", "MangaFly" and "Manweekly" have entries, so the three magazines are not eligible to participate in the discussion and voting. Before the meeting began, they were invited out of the conference room by the cartoonists association. Editors can only watch the scene in the conference room through the LCD TV in the lounge.
Because they couldn't hear the discussion, even if the three editors were anxious, they had no other choice but to stay calm as much as possible.
After a long time, the editor-in-chief of Man Weekly broke the silence.
"This award... no matter how you look at it, it belongs to your two magazines."
"Hey, Yu Lao, you're wrong, "Ghostbusters" is also very popular." Shang Haozhi looked at the old man with a peaked cap sitting on the solo sofa and waved his hand quickly.
Yu Bai~lightnovelpub.net~ is almost a living fossil in China's comics industry. When he was young, his painter was very good and he was quite famous in the industry. But after getting older, I just wanted to spend the rest of my life in peace. At the age of 50, he became the editor-in-chief of "Man Weekly". After ten years of hard work, "Man Weekly" became the fourth after the three major publications. The sales volume of the magazine has also exceeded 2 million, which is only a breath away when compared with the three major magazines.
"I think so too. The first and third places are comics from ComicFuture. Mr. Shang, this award should have fallen into your hands?"
Yuan Zhe, the editor-in-chief of "MangaFly", is a young man about 30 years old. Young, but very capable in doing things.
When the editorial department of "MangaFly" was airborne, many people questioned him, but in just one year, "MangaFly" was managed in an orderly manner. In the following years, the popular comics from "Shoun Leap" were introduced, which was not only stable. After staying in the slump, I now challenged "ComicFuture".
"Uh..." Shang Haozhi touched the pocket of his coat. There was a pocket comic in it, his face changed a little, and then he smiled, "Let you auspicious words. But it is better to be cautious. The result has not come out yet. ."
"I think "Top of Basketball" can't affect "Hunting Abyss". The only thing that can cause pressure on Yelaoshr is "Crimination". Both inside and outside are your comics."
Having said this, Yuan Zhe frowned slightly, feeling quite upset in his heart.
