Zongman: Why is your comic full of knives?

Kasumigaoka Utaha took out the prepared manuscript from her backpack, and then spoke a little embarrassedly:

"that...Chief Editor Machida, could you please make a copy for me?"

When you need my help, it's Chief Editor Machida. When you don't need my help, it's the old woman?

Oh, woman!

"It's just a small matter."

Machida Yuanzi took the manuscript, smiled apologetically at Nangong Mu, and then left the room.

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

"Senior."

It was Kasumigaoka Utaha who took the initiative to break the silence.

Nangong Mu looked over in confusion.

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

The hottest event?"

Nangong Mu blinked in confusion.

He only played games online, and except for a little understanding when he was about to step into this industry, he has never paid attention to the news in the industry since then.

Seeing Nangong Mu's reaction, Kasumigaoka Utaha couldn't help but show an expression of"as expected".

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

"No."

Kasumigaoka Utaha shook her head, with a helpless look on her face:

"I just feel that you don't look like someone in the industry at all."

"Ignore even this kind of event"

"......"

So, no matter who it is, there is a riddler in their heart?

Can't you just be direct and tell us what's going on! ?

I don't know if she heard Nangong Mu's voice or decided not to keep him in suspense,

Kasumigaoka Shiyu said:"You should have heard of the story creation contest, right?"

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

The story creation contest is held every four years.

It is mainly based on the story, and the story is created according to the proposition of the organizer! As for the proposition, it is very broad.

The most important thing is that this conference never makes any restrictions on the type!

Whether it is based on the second dimension, or the content of film and television dramas that are more realistic, even if it is the main story of the game, as long as it meets the proposition, there is no problem!

Because of the breadth of the content, this competition has a very high popularity!

Every time it is held, it will attract countless fans to watch!

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

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

It can be said that he will chase it whenever he has time!

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

It's just that unlike the amazingness during the competition, many works of TV series, animations, and light novels that have been fully adapted have disappointed people.

At that time, Nangong Mu didn't quite understand it, but now he understands it very well.

The most important point is the rules of the competition!

This competition does not require contestants to create complete works directly.

After all, the time given to contestants to create is very limited, and it is not realistic to ask them to create the entire story completely in such a short time!

The contestants can only try to create a complete and attractive story.

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 storyboards that make people shine.

In this way of showing the excitement of the story as much as possible, the overall story may not necessarily be excellent, but the content presented to the audience will inevitably be very attractive!

In addition, the reason why the work is disappointing is the participation of capital.

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

Recalling everything about this competition, Nangong Mu also spoke up:

"The story creation contest is going to be held again?"

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

Because...

This is the normal reaction of people in the industry!

No matter the honor or reward that the final winner can receive, every story creator with a dream cannot ignore it!

"That's right."

Kasumigaoka Utaha nodded and said,"The theme of the preliminaries is life, and the deadline is the end of June."

"In mid-July, the 128 finalists will be announced, and then there will be 64, 32, 16 to 8, a total of 4 elimination rounds, and the final champion will be decided from the final 8 people!"

The theme is...Life!?

"Is it such a coincidence?" (To read the exciting novels, go to Faloo Novel Network!)

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

"Senior, do you have any idea of participating?"

Kasumigaoka Utaha looked at him with burning eyes, her tone full of expectation:"If it were you, you would definitely get good results!"

The girl's current performance can be described as a little fangirl attitude without any disguise.

Nangong Mu smiled bitterly and said:"I didn't realize that senior sister had such high expectations of me"

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

Hearing this, Kasumigaoka Utaha regained her sanity.

After thinking about it seriously, she said,"That's true."

The difficulty of composition topic lies in matching the topic.

For example, if the other party asks for a campus life-type theme, then even if Nangong Mu takes out"Magic Circle"》、《Even a masterpiece like Steins;Gate will still be eliminated.

The topic makes this competition full of uncertainty!

"But what the senior meant by this sentence is obviously that you want to participate in this competition, right?"

Nangong Mu smiled and said:"When encountering such an interesting thing, there is no reason to miss it, right?" This is not a sudden decision, but a decision made after considering many aspects!

At present,"Three Questions on Doomsday"》、《"Four Lies" is still being serialized in magazines, and"Killing the Sister" is also a single-volume work.

In this case, no matter how you think about it, you can't continue to launch new comics in a short time.

But this competition gave Nangong Mu a new opportunity!

Increase your popularity through the competition and gain new fan groups!

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

And if the new script created by participating in the competition is exciting enough, then at the call of fans, it will be launched as an exception. Isn't it reasonable?

Even if these benefits are put aside.

The prize of up to 100 million yen for the champion of the competition, as well as improving your own industry status and obtaining a higher share from the publisher, are also benefits that are directly exposed!

So many things.

Nangong Mu naturally had no reason to miss it.

Although this competition has a certain degree of difficulty, it is precisely because it is difficult enough that it is interesting, isn't it?
