Cartoonist's Dream

The usually warm nephew yelled at the phone, of course we can't ignore this kind of thing, not to mention that Li Jiakang has a fiery temper, and he likes to help others when there is a little trouble.

"It's okay, it's just that my painting didn't win the first prize." Li Musheng was afraid that his uncle would cause trouble, so he didn't dare to say that it was the consolation prize.

Although he only said that he didn't win the first prize, Li Jiakang's reaction was quite fierce.This painting had been in his store for a while, and he couldn't understand the artistic value of [Squirrel Summer] itself, but he knew that even if he practiced for ten or eight years, he would not be able to draw such a painting.Who is eligible to win the first prize in the juvenile group that even nephews can't win?

"What! They didn't give the first prize for that painting!? Blind their dog eyes, where are they from? I'll take you to find them to argue." Li Jiakang grabbed Li Mu's hand and gestured to leave. No one cares.

As for whether to go to theory or fight, it is estimated that there is still room for discussion. [

Although Li Jiakang's social circle was full of pig friends and dog friends when he was young, he became very loyal after staying in it for a long time.Loyalty is an important principle to maintain that circle, and it is dumbfounding to be brought into ordinary life by him since then.Whenever someone who is a little bit related encounters something, he will take the lead to help others get into trouble.

"I said, Uncle, they're not in Nanhua City, or I don't need to send a courier. It's useless for you and me to go together. It's not enough to ask a group of people to go, and the fare and some money are not worth it. Let's forget about it." , anyway, I won’t vote again.” Li Mu broke free from his hand and said with reason.

I was really worried that my uncle was going to ask for justice the first time, but the second time he really took his friends to smash other people's affairs. Li Mu didn't want to get into trouble.

"I've blinded them for nothing, can I get that painting back?" Li Jiakang asked.

During the chat, Li Zhishu once told him that he was willing to buy [Squirrel Summer] at a price of [-] yuan, which is equivalent to the money for a new freezer.

"I should be able to get it back. The staff over there said to help as much as possible..." Li Mu didn't have much confidence when he said this. It's better to use a drag word first.If it doesn't work, I just imitate it and draw another one, and Uncle Liang can't see the difference.

"It's okay to get it back, if you can't get it back—"

clack clack.Li Jiakang looked at the distant sky, crossed his hands together and twisted, making a crackling sound, which made Li look shocked——

——Old man, you have serious osteoporosis...

As for my uncle's body that has become like a pole due to drug use, he must lose nine times out of ten in a fight. It is said that he took his brothers together every time before, but every time he was beaten Dry first.

"Don't worry, you can get it back." Li Mu persuaded him, and suddenly thought of something, he called to his uncle: "Uncle, I'll make another call—"

After speaking, another phone call was made.

Although the National Summer Vacation Painting Grand Prix failed, it has only been more than a month since the task was accepted. That special task did not specify which competition to win the top three, but judged the task with a time limit of 6 months.

[Special task, please get the top three in the national-level painting competition, and the time limit is 6 months.Reward for completing the task: one gold coin for skill activation, one free attribute point, one gold coin for skill upgrade, the reward depends on the degree of completion.Mission failure penalty: Curse of Mystery. 】

It doesn't even specify the top three in that country, that is to say, getting the top three in other countries' junior competitions can actually be determined through tasks.

"Moshe, Moses, hello, is Shangguo Publishing House? I'm Li Mu, I have something to ask you..." Li Mu called Hong Kong Shangguo Publishing House.

Although this is a publishing house that has promised to publish a single volume before the magazine is released, in this society that pays attention to "circles", Shangguo Publishing House undoubtedly has better information channels than Limu.

"...Do you know where there is a national painting competition held in China or other countries? The kind that allows foreigners to participate in the award, it is best to use sketches or cartoons to decide the winner, and it should allow elementary school students to participate... "

It was the president Lu Lingling who answered the phone, and she handed the phone to Wang Bingyu after talking a lot of nonsense. In fact, it was Wang Bingyu who actually answered Limu's question. [

She told Pear Wood all the information she knew.

There are currently no national competitions for primary school students in China.Nippon Shogakukan and many companies often hold it. If Li Mu wants to participate, he can do it through a company that has connections with many Japanese publishing houses.Japanese manga awards generally require works to be within 31p to 32p. This is not a hard and fast rule. If the story created by the author is long, as long as Chapter 1 of the story ends at about 30 pages, you can participate.

But the actual situation is that the comics submitted by domestic publishing houses have never won an award.It’s not that the Chinese manga are not well drawn. The Japanese even praised that the manga is very well done, but unfortunately all of them were dismissed as the manga’s plot was not attractive enough.And Japanese readers actually rarely vote for foreigners. This is a fairly conservative nationalist country.Recently, there is a "Japan International Manga Grand Prix". Other countries may also participate, but they are required to translate the manga into Japanese by themselves.

Li Mu felt that there might be less shady scenes in the "International Contest", and it would be more reasonable to vote under the name of the International, and it would not be decided by the judges, so he asked about the situation of the Japan International Manga Grand Prix.

Wang Bingyu recited the entry requirements almost immediately

[Stories and pictures must be original.

[Both first-time contributors and authors who have published works can contribute.

[Authors who have previously won awards and published works, please specify the specific time, magazine name, pen name, etc.

[Sex and age are not restricted.

[After the first page of the manuscript, write your work name, name, pen name, age, occupation, phone number, address, resume, contribution history, and hope to be published in magazines, and you can print the "application ticket" online.

【The envelope with the return address should be put into the submission envelope. No stamps are required, and all works will be returned. 】

Write down the return address and you can get back the manuscript after the competition...

Sure enough, it was an international competition, and the money was generous. Not only could the manuscript be rejected after the competition, but the postage was also free!

International competition regardless of age group, if I win, how will the task evaluate me? !

This time, Li Mu did not have 100% confidence in winning. Just like the last submission, she had ten levels of confidence, and she might not win. Although she was competing with cartoonists all over the world, the hope of winning was not very high, but Li Mu was still eager to try.

but……

"...You have plenty of time to prepare. The Japan Manga Association counts the time for publicity and letter delivery. The deadline for the competition is January 1 next year. You have half a year to work hard. If you can win an award in this international competition Our company may give you an additional reward."

half a year...

Half a year!

Waiting for the submission deadline on January 1 of the next year has long exceeded the task time, not to mention the need for judging after the deadline, so the Japan International Manga Grand Prix is ​​out of the question!

"I won't participate, thank you, there are no other competitions, right?" Li Mu made the final confirmation unwillingly, but Wang Bingyu answered in the affirmative.

There may be other national competitions, but there are too many restrictions given by Limu.Looking for a competition that allows elementary school students to participate, where drawing is designated as manga or sketch, and where foreigners are allowed to win prizes...it is difficult to find even in the whole world. [

There is a certain chance that it can be completed, but it is difficult for me at this stage... Is this the special task of the yellow level?

I have done a lot of daily missions for pear wood yellow, and even one red daily mission, but the difficulty level cannot be compared with special missions at all.To this day, with the help of Shangguo Publishing House, I still have no idea. Could it be that I begged Shangguo to hold a national competition for myself, and then unspoken rules for myself?

"I'll go get busy if I have nothing to do." On the other end of the phone, Wang Bingyu said lightly.

"Well, goodbye." Limu hung up the phone, never asking them too much.He put the phone on the low table beside him, and said goodbye to his uncle sullenly, anyone could tell from his back that he had something on his mind.

I've been stuck on this task for too long, isn't it just the curse of the mystery for 6 months, shit, can I give up the task and change to a new one? ! !

[Curse of Mystery: Small Punishment, Big Commandment!If you fail the mission, you will be cursed by the system, with a 90% chance of getting lost, for a period of 6 months. (Tips: Please go out accompanied by adults)]

Isn't it just half a year!

"I give up!" Li Mu returned to his room and shouted, although giving up easily made him feel painful, but this time he felt that he had had enough.

He called out the system and clicked on the four prominent words below the detailed description of the special task.

【Abandon the mission】!

The moment the special mission disappeared, he seemed to be stared at by a god and demon, cold sweat kept breaking out from his forehead, and there was an inexplicable palpitation in his heart.After a while, he relaxed and fell to the ground and passed out.

Fortunately, my parents hadn't come home when I woke up, and I got an unexpected surprise!
