Due to the increase in the workload of the Junhao Hotel to hold the selection of the comic festival, the hotel's original manpower was dwarfed.

Wang Wenhong "just happened" to apply for a job and got an opportunity to be a waiter.

"Seeing that you are so positive, next month I will say a few more words to you in front of the supervisor, and you will be turned positive." An old employee tapped Wang Wenhong on the shoulder twice.

"Okay, thank you very much." Wang Wenhong took out a cigarette and gave another cigarette to the old employee.

Not long ago, after separating from Yan Fei, he returned to Hongchuan again, and under the guidance of the night school teacher, he applied for a waiter at Junhao Hotel, and spent a small amount of money to infiltrate the logistics department.

In addition to cleaning, collecting bed sheets, and distributing toiletries, Wang Wenhong's other job is to place and organize comic books in the guest rooms of the Sovereign Hotel.

This job was very tiring, and many waiters were reluctant to do it, but Wang Wen took over the task of placing comics.

In the consciousness of the old employees, Wang Wenhong is just a zero-hour worker, and he should do more work. Newcomers want to stay, and they rely on enthusiasm.

never thought that the purpose of Wang Wenhong was to place the cartoons in each room.

ComicFuture, MangaFly, and Manga Weekly all had entries for the Newcomer Award, so the editors-in-chief of the three magazines were disqualified from voting, and Wang Wenhong didn't put Y's in their room — and it was a waste to put them out, and they didn't vote.

In the other rooms, not only "Y's" is placed, but also a set of 5 copies, while other comics, such as "Hunting the Abyss", although there are also them, most of them are incomplete.

Wang Wenhong's purpose is simple, that is, these editors-in-chief, who usually disdain the signature comics of second-rate magazines, have more opportunities to come into contact with "Y's".

Due to the large number of comics participating in the selection, Wang Wenhong also had to use some small brains, for example, the height of "Y's" placed on the bookshelf is at the same level as most people's line of sight, and the editors-in-chief do not need to deliberately look for it, they can notice "Y's", and even on the bookshelves in the corridor and restaurant, "Y's" is also placed in the most conspicuous place.

Of course, it is relatively easy to place the comics, but the difficult part is to organize the comics every day, including the restaurant, corridors, and conference rooms, which have to be sorted out every day, and the waiter must put the comics scattered throughout the hotel in their rightful place.

Wang Wenhong is the most active, and many times, he is tidying up an area by himself. The old employee was very moved, and every time he ate, he put chicken legs in Wang Wenhong's bowl, which made him feel quite guilty.

In fact, Wang Wenhong also knows that it is unrealistic to let every editor-in-chief see "Y's", but as long as one or two editors-in-chief have seen it, "Y's" has a chance to turn over. Because the winner must receive 4 or more votes to win the final prize, the judges often have to vote multiple times before determining the final winner.

In the second or even third round of voting, there will be fewer comics, the judges will have more time arguing, and they will return their energy to the comics themselves.

In terms of the quality of comics alone, "Y's" is better than other comics, especially the latest single book, Wang Wenhong even feels that it can enter the selection of "Best Long-Form Comic of the Year". Although he may not be able to win the award in the end, Shen Xin's handling of the storyboard and the arrangement of the plot are already in place.

This is also one of the reasons why he is more and 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 a third-rate magazine, they all have their own understanding of comics.

As long as they have carefully watched "Y's", they will quickly perceive the merits of "Y's".

At that time, all it takes is one argument that may change the course of the selection.

That's all Wang Wenhong can do for Y's.

If he goes one step further, once he is discovered, his actions are to smear the face of "Y's". Shen Xin definitely didn't want him to make any small moves.

What "Y's" lacks is not strength, but the opportunity to level the playing field.

Now, he has created this opportunity to give editors-in-chief who know little about "Y's" more opportunities to engage with "Y's" and allow them to take "Y's" into account when voting, and that is enough.

As for Y's's ultimate luck, it's out of his control.

In the first four days, most of the awards of the comic festival have been settled, but due to the signing of a confidentiality agreement, the final result cannot be announced to the public, and once someone leaks it, the right of its magazine to participate in the comic festival will be permanently canceled.

Among all the awards, only the "Newcomer Award", "Huaxia Comics Lifetime Achievement Award", and "Best Long-Form Comics of the Year Award" were not selected.

This year's "Lifetime Achievement Award" is estimated to be vacant again, so the only important awards are the "Newcomer Award" and the "Best Long-Form Manga of the Year Award".

"ComicFuture", "MangaFly" and "Manga Weekly" were not qualified to participate in the discussion and voting because of their works, and before the meeting began, they were invited out of the conference room by the Cartoonists Association, and the three editors of the magazine could 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-in-chief were anxious, they had no choice but to try to remain calm.

After a long time, the editor-in-chief of Mankan Weekly broke the silence.

"This award...... No matter how you look at it, it's all from your two magazines. ”

"Hey, Old Yu, you're wrong, the popularity of "Ghost Hunter" is also very high." Shang Haozhi looked at the old man sitting on the single sofa with a peaked cap, and hurriedly waved his hand.

Yu Bai, almost a living fossil in the Chinese comic industry, when he was young, he was very good at painting and was quite famous in the industry. But when he got older, he just wanted to spend the rest of his life in peace, so at the age of 50, he served as the editor-in-chief of "Manzhou Weekly", and after ten years of hard work, "Manzhou Weekly" became the fourth issue after the three major magazines, and the sales volume also exceeded 2 million copies, compared with the three major magazines, only one breath less.

"I think so too. The first and third places are both ComicFuture comics. Mr. Shang, this award should have fallen into your hands, right? ”

Yuan Zhe, the editor-in-chief of "MangaFly", is a young man about 30 years old. He is not very old, but he has a lot of means to do things.

At the beginning, many people questioned the editorial department of "MangaFly", but in just one year, "MangaFly" was managed in an orderly manner, and in the following years, it introduced the popular comics from "Shonen Leap", which not only stabilized the decline, but now it is challenging "ComicFuture".

"Uh......" Shang Haozhi touched the pocket of his coat, there was a pocket comic in it, his face changed slightly, and then he smiled, "Borrow your auspicious words." But it's better to be cautious, the results haven't come out yet. ”

"I don't think 'Top of Basketball' can have an impact on 'Hunting Abyss'. And the only thing that may cause pressure on Mr. Ye is "Crime and Punishment", which is full of your family's cartoons inside and out. ”

Speaking of this, Yuan Zhe frowned slightly, and he was quite unhappy in his heart.
