After Chen Zijun finished his acceptance speech, he accepted the award from the top leaders of Zijin Magazine, went down, took the orange he just finished eating and started eating.

"Teacher April, you are really informal." Lin Yang came over.

"Uh, may I ask who you are." Chen Zijun looked up and saw a middle-aged man.

"My name is Lin Yang, and my pen name is 'Sunshine Flame'. It's nice to meet you."

"Yangguan Raging Flames, the garlic-headed bastard?" Chen Zijun shouted instinctively.

Lin Yang: "??"

"I...do I look like a bastard?" Lin Yang said with a bit of depression.

"I'm sorry, I didn't mean it." Chen Zijun is also very sorry. He just instinctively called out the name Sunshine Flame. Although the Pokémon who can do this trick are not only the seeds of the wonderful frog, but they also have to lose the name of garlic head bastard. The number in the previous life was too loud, so Chen Zijun would be like this.

"It's fine." Lin Yang shook his head and chuckled, "You've seen your work, it's wonderful."

"Really? I think so too." Chen Zijun said with a smile.

"Uh..." Lin Yang was choked for a moment, is this fellow so arrogant? But he didn't object, he could see that Chen Zijun was joking.

"Mr. Lin Yang, I also like your "Servant of Ghosts" very much." Chen Zijun also wanted to talk to each other in business.

"LOL, really?"

"It's a pity that the final plot ended too hastily."

Lin Yang: "..."

Although the end is really unfinished, can't you save me some face?

Lin Yang just came over to get acquainted, just wanted to have a chat with Chen Zijun. In the industry, at least in Zijin Magazine, he is also a person of status, but I didn't expect that after the chat, Chen Zijun meant something to his own taste. Conversation is comfortable.

Then we chatted more and more, and some people around who wanted to make friends with Chen Zijun could only watch the two chatting eagerly. After all, Lin Yang is a senior in the industry. He is the same person.

"The two of you are chatting really hot." A gentle voice sounded from the side, it was Zhang Yuhua.

"Yuhua, didn't the editor-in-chief talk to you?" Lin Yang squinted her and said.

"It's all polite. Every year is almost the same, so I come here."

"Anyone who wants to be the editor-in-chief is not qualified to talk?"

"Mr. Yuxiao, hello." Chen Zijun greeted him.

"Hello, it's nice to meet you. You're very handsome." Zhang Yuhua smiled gently, but it made Chen Zijun feel very comfortable. She was not young and her appearance was ordinary, but her gentle temperament made people feel like a spring breeze.

"Thank you for the compliment."

"Hey, April, do you have a plan for your next theme?"

"Yes, the previous stage storyboards have already been drawn." There is nothing to hide, Chen Zijun admitted frankly, as for the content, he did not mention a word.

Lin Yang didn't have the bad habit of taking the liberty to inquire about the content. He simply found a topic to talk about, otherwise it would be embarrassing.

"Your clothes are really handsome." Lin Yang said.

"Um."

"the weather is nice today."

"There is no weather here."

"You're handsome."

"I think so."

......

It's so embarrassing, this conversation, this short-lived conversation, Zhang Yuhua can't stand it anymore, it's really embarrassing.

In the end, it was Zhang Yuhua who brought the topic back. This time there was finally no such awkward chat. Most of the chats were between the two bosses. Chen Zijun listened silently. Some technology, but in fact these two people are not talking about experience skills, but daily life.

Lin Yang said that the housing prices in some places have risen a lot, or medical insurance and other issues. As for Zhang Yuhua, he talked about some cartoonists who got married and gave birth to a daughter, who is full moon, or some gossip or broke out in the entertainment circle. what melon.

Chen Zijun: "..."

But if you think about it carefully, how could so many people talk about this? This is the most common one, isn't the usual painting enough? Chen Zijun listened silently, wrapped an orange in his hand, and listened while eating, not interrupting casually. At this time, Lin Yang turned the topic to comics.

"The Spring Cup Comic Contest is coming soon after the Chinese New Year. In April, are you interested in participating?"

"What is the Cup of Spring?"

"Don't you know?" Zhang Yuhua was a little surprised, and then explained: "The Cup of Spring is an official award launched by "Tianqing News" and other organizations, and there are various awards. The biggest is the rookie award, but you're not technically a rookie anymore, so your target suggestion is best short story award or best drama award or something."

"If you can participate in this award, you can attract a good reputation, the bonus is quite generous, and other conditions, many down-and-out cartoonists or newcomers will choose this Cup of Spring as a stepping stone to rise and turn over~www.wuxiamtl. com~ Strictly speaking, your fame does not necessarily have to participate, but there is a reward that is very rich and very attractive."

"What conditions?" Chen Zijun asked.

"The award-winning works can be adapted for animation." Zhang Yuhua said solemnly.

"Animation adaptation?" Chen Zijun is also slightly surprised. Animation is undoubtedly the highest honor for a comic. It can be said that most comic artists have dreams, some for money, some for single books, and some for competition. The title of the Four Emperors and Eight Kings, but many people's dream is only to make their works animated.

It is a very exciting thing to animate one's own work and then broadcast it on TV or the Internet. For a cartoonist, it is one of the greatest honors.

But not every work that can be animated is possible, popularity, quality, style of painting...even luck.

Although it is more demanding, the benefits of animation are great. Animation itself is an advertisement for comics. It is a very big publicity exposure for the original comics, and the increase in popularity is only the most basic.

Even some unpopular comics may be affected by animation and may break out.

Chen Zijun's "Shape of Sound" has an average volume of 2 million, and there is no chance to animate it now.

Generally speaking, most of the animation of comics is invested in the animation committee by the magazine, and then invites animation companies to create together with the rest of the people. Of course, some animation studios will buy the copyright to adapt, but they always account for a very small part. Not worth mentioning in the whole market.

"Of course, it's not 100%, but there is a 70% chance that the winning works of the Spring Cup will be animated."
