Zongman: Why are all your comics full of knives?

Kasumigaoka Shiba took out the prepared manuscript from his backpack,

Then he said with some embarrassment:

"That's... Can Machida, editor-in-chief, please make a copy for me?"

When you ask me, you will be the editor-in-chief of Machida, and you don't need my help~ just an old woman?

Oh, woman!

"Little things. "

Machida Enko took the manuscript, smiled apologetically at Nangong Mu, and followed him out of the room.

As the other party left, the atmosphere in the room was a little more awkward for some reason.

"Seniors. "

It was Kasumigaoka Shiyu who took the initiative to break the silence at the moment.

Nangong Mu looked at it puzzled.

"Do you know the hottest event in the industry lately?"

The hottest event?

Nangong Mu blinked in confusion.

In addition to playing games on the Internet, he played games, except for a little understanding when he was first preparing to set foot in this industry, and he has not paid attention to the news of the industry since then.

Seeing Nangong Mu's reaction, Xia Zhiqiu Shiyu couldn't help but show an expression that was really like this.

Nangong Mu scratched his head: "Is there any problem?"

"Not really. "

Kasumigaoka Shiyu shook his head, but the expression on his face was a little helpless:

"I just don't think you're like a person in the industry at all. "

"It's even a big event like this. "

“......"

So, whoever has a riddler hidden in their hearts?

You can't just point to it, let's talk about what the hell is going on!?

I don't know if I heard Nangong Mu's heart, or decided not to sell Guanzi anymore,

Kasumigaoka Shiyu spoke: "You should have heard of the Story Creation Contest, right?"

Nangong Mu frowned, searched in his memory, and then a sudden look appeared in his eyes.

The Story Writing Contest is held every four years.

Focus on the story and create the story according to the proposition of the organizer!

As for the proposition, it is very broad.

The main thing is that there are no restrictions on genres at this conference!

Whether it's based on the two-dimensional starting point, or the content of film and television dramas that are biased towards reality, even if it's the main story of the game, as long as it meets the proposition, it's no problem!

Because of the breadth of the content, this contest is very popular!

Every time it is held, it attracts countless fans to watch!

Coupled with generous rewards, many creators who have been famous for a long time can't help but be tempted to participate.

4 years ago, when he was still a junior high school student, he was very obsessed with this show.

It can be said that you will chase it as soon as you have time!

The good stories in it have also evolved into complete works with the injection of capital.

It's just that it's different from the amazing during the competition, and the complete adaptation of TV series, anime, and light novels has many works that make people feel disappointed.

At that time, Nangong Mu didn't understand it very well, but now his words are very clear.

The main thing is the rules of the event!

This contest does not require participants to create a complete work.

After all, the time given to the contestants to create is very limited, and it is simply not realistic for them to create the whole story in such a short time!

The contestants could only try to create a well-developed and engaging story.

And in order to increase the excitement of the story, most of them will put a clip that they think is the most exciting, portray some key characters, character lines, and eye-catching storyboards.

In this way of showing the story as exciting as possible,

Maybe the story as a whole may not be excellent, but the content shown in front of the audience will inevitably have a great appeal!

In addition, the reason for the disappointment of the work is the participation of capital.

In the face of the power of capital, there is a high probability that the story will not be 100% restored according to the creator's ideas.

Recalling all kinds of things about this competition, Nangong Mu also spoke:

"The Story Contest is going to be held again?"

Seeing Nangong Mu's surprised tone here, Kasumigaoka Shiyu couldn't help but smile on his face.

Because...

This is the normal reaction of industry insiders!

Whether it is the honor or reward that the final winner can receive,

Every storyteller with a dream can't ignore it!

"That's right. "

Kasumigaoka Shiyu nodded, "The theme of the qualifiers is life, and the deadline is at the end of June. "

"In mid-July, 128 winners will be announced, followed by 64, 32, 16 and 8, a total of 4 knockouts, and the final champion will be determined from the last 8 people!"

The theme is... Life!?

"Is it such a coincidence?" (If you read a violent novel, you can go to Feilu Novel Network!)

Thinking of the work he was creating, Nangong Mu couldn't help but have a very subtle feeling in his heart.

"Do you have any ideas for participating?"

Kasumigaoka Shiyu looked at him with burning eyes, and his tone was full of anticipation: "If it were you, you would definitely be able to achieve good results!"

The girl's current performance can be described as a little fan girl who does not make any disguises.

Nangong Mu smiled bitterly and said, "I didn't see that Senior Sister actually had such high expectations for me. "

"But this is a proposition essay after all, and even I don't have much confidence. "

Hearing this, Kasumigaoka Shiyu also regained his senses.

After thinking about it seriously, he said, "That's what I said." "

The difficulty in the creation of propositions lies in fitting the topic.

It's like the theme of the other party's request for campus life,

Then even if Nangong Mu comes up with masterpieces like "Magic Circle" and "Gate of Destiny Stone", he will still be eliminated.

The proposition makes this contest full of uncertainty!

"But the meaning of the senior's sentence is obviously to participate in this competition, right?"

Nangong Mu smiled and said: "When you encounter such an interesting thing, of course there is no reason to miss it, right?"

This decision was not made on the fly, but after many considerations!

At present, "Three Questions of Doom" and "Four Lies" are still being serialized in magazines, and the works that are directly released as a single book are "Cutting Sister".

In this case, no matter what you think, you can't continue to launch new comics in the short term.

And this competition is for Nangong Mu to see a new opportunity!

Increase your popularity through the contest and gain a new fan base!

Not only can you gain more fame, but you can also increase the sales of old works!

And the new script created by participating in the competition is exciting enough, so under the appeal of fans, it is not very reasonable to launch it out of the ordinary?

Even if these benefits are aside.

The reward of up to 100 million yen for the champion of the contest, as well as improving one's position in the industry, so as to get a higher share from the publishing house, are also directly on the surface!

And so on.

Nangong Mu naturally did not miss the truth.

It's a difficult game, but it's also fun because it's hard enough, isn't it?

PS: I'll just have a chapter today, and I'll change the outline later. Every.
