Chapter 221 Awards

Time has entered the new year.

Although the Dragon Kingdom really celebrates the Spring Festival, there will still be a three-day holiday on January 1 in the Gregorian calendar.

During this time, the entire Magic City area was covered in silver, and the streets were filled with couples and students who were hanging out during the holidays.

But the shortcoming of the profession of novel writer and cartoonist is that there is no fixed holiday.

In other words, as long as you save your manuscripts, every day can be a holiday.

It's a pity that neither Xia Yan, Song Lingyun, nor Mo Ran have any manuscripts saved, so they continued to create during the holidays.

However, Xia Yan and Mo Ran are different. The school will organize the final exam immediately after New Year's Day. Judging from their scores, they must study hard before the exam, while Song Lingyun is more casual.

However, as the three-day New Year's Day holiday was coming to an end, Xia Yan received four important information notifications about him almost at the same time.

In the comics industry, Beizhou Comics Club submitted the initial D to relevant associations and participated in the selection of the "Dragon Song Award", a grand award selection event in the comics industry of Dragon Kingdom.

Like the Emperor Star Award selection in the novel industry, the Dragon Song Award also evaluates new serial comic works from the seventeen provinces of the Dragon Kingdom in the previous year based on the comprehensive influence of the works, reader praise, plot depth, whether it has brought changes to the industry, etc. An award based on comprehensive selection from multiple aspects.

The first place bonus is a symbolic one million Dragon Kingdom coins. Although it is difficult to search, as long as you can get into the top ten selections, it is basically equivalent to directly entering the ranks of Dragon Kingdom's first-line cartoonists.

However, this year, when the organizing committee and various comic clubs joined forces to make statistical nominations for their works, many of the authors of these works were a little disappointed.

Especially those writers who are powerful and whose comic works are very popular.

after all

Initial D should also participate in this selection.

Then them.

How to win!

If any of the previous entries can be ranked among the top six or seven in a top comic journal like Beizhou, it will be considered a favorite to win the award.

After all, the awards only count the popular comic works produced in the previous year, which means that all these works have been serialized for less than a year. In this short time, few works can be very popular.

But Initial D, is that a normal work?

Competing with Initial D on the same stage, comparing popularity and depth of work, how can we compare?

Many people get headaches thinking about this.

The evaluation and preparation of the Longyin Award will last for three months.

Final selection results will be revealed in April.

Similarly, preparations for the selection of the Emperor Star Awards, an annual event in the Dragon Kingdom light novel industry, also started at the beginning of the new year.

Liuli Publishing House also nominated the name of Sword Art Online, and the novel also nominated... is Song Lingjun's The Ultimate.

This novel has been serialized for several weeks, and its popularity has risen by one, reaching sixth place in Liuli Journal.

This achievement is astonishing.

It's just that Sword Art Online is so influential that it overshadows the excellent results achieved by Juekai.

But just like the selection of the Dragon Yin Award in the comics industry, this year’s selection of the Emperor Star Award.

Sword Art Online is also a nightmare for many light novel writers in the Dragon Kingdom.

How to compete with Sword Art Online?

On the other side, the selection of the "Dragon Kingdom Best TV Animation" award and the "Dragon Kingdom Best Animation Movie" award selection are also on the agenda.

Tang Yin's father's Sugar Man Film and Television will go to the moon to be recommended to the organizing committee. Similarly, in the selection of the best TV animation, Tang Yin recommended Puella Magi Madoka Magica in the name of the warrior of love.

In the selection of these awards, except for the best animated film, To the Moon's total box office of 790 million ranked second in the animated film category in the Dragon Kingdom film industry last year.

Maybe on the surface, the results don't seem to be the strongest. It's a bit difficult to win the gold medal, but if you go to the moon to score, it would be much higher than the first place, so it's hard to say.

After all, these selections are based on all aspects of the situation.

As for the other three, the Emperor Star Award, the Dragon Song Award, and the Best Animation selection, they are basically a bit stable.

Even a cautious person like Xia Yan thinks so after analyzing his competitors.

Unless the judging panel is shameless and forces insider trading to blackmail him, then Xia Yan does have a huge advantage.

After returning from New Year's Day, Tangren Film, Liuli Publishing House, and Beizhou Comics almost all announced the submission of Xia Yan's works to various award nominations.

Xia Yan's fans realized something was not right.

"Hey, Mr. Yuanqing won't win the gold medal at the Emperor Star Award, Dragon Song Award and Best Animated Film Award Ceremony held in April, right?"

"I feel that this possibility is not small. Initial D and Sword Art Online may have one or two competitors in the comic and novel industry and their popularity is relatively strong, but the competition is limited to the new serial works last year. In terms of scope, I can only say that there is really nothing to beat.”

"If that's the case, it'll be great fun."

"The Emperor Star Award, the Longyin Award, and the Best Animated Film Award were all won by one person in one year. That's really funny. How embarrassing does this make Mr. Yuanqing's colleagues in the two-dimensional industry? "

"It's a pity that Teacher Yuanqing didn't produce TV animation last year, nor did he have any works adapted into TV animation. Otherwise, it would be very interesting to win the Best TV Animation Award. I won all the four major awards in the two-dimensional industry."

"What are you thinking? Regardless of whether Mr. Genkiyo created a TV animation last year and broadcast it, he can't win the Best TV Animation Gold Award."

"That's right, because this award will only be reserved for one work. "Magical Girl Madoka!"

"Madoka Magica"

"That's true. Even if it's Mr. Genkiyo, he can't win in the field of TV animation against Warrior of Love. After all, the performance of Madoka Magica is really a bit outrageous."

"Whether it's Mr. Genkiyo or Warrior of Love, they are both authors I like. If these two people win the four major awards in the two-dimensional world last year, I will directly wear Madoka Magica cosplay costume and run around Magic City University to show my support for the two teachers."

"Go ahead, come back to do some archaeology, I hope you don't break your promise."

"Fire Tongs Liu Ming."

"If you want to release your perverted desires, just say it earlier, don't be so subtle, if you want to cosplay Madoka, go, no one will laugh at you."

The four major awards in the two-dimensional industry all choose to start the selection in April.

After all, some of the works involved were only serialized in the winter quarter of last year, so the market should wait and see in the spring of the following year, and the final decision will be made in April and summer. This is a common practice.

Similarly, the official website of the four major awards selection will be opened after New Year's Day.

Fans of Xia Yan, Warrior of Love flocked to the official website, and almost occupied the official website forum on the first day of the official website opening.
