One more time, One more chance

Comic editor Kanno Taro said that in order to make the work sell, he would investigate and think a lot. The most basic measure in his mind is, “If you read this work in the junior high school before the second episode, will you embark on a different life track?” This is more trustworthy than speculating on others’ hearts. .

“The Digital Blog of the Beautiful Girl of Light” website has made statistics on the aging of the seiyuu animation of Changshou Animation two years ago. Two years later, the seiyuu died in the liver, such as Hetai, Hejun, Shijie Yunsheng, and Fujiwara Kaji was rehabilitated because of illness. Yajima Crystal took the initiative to let Xian, the blog administrator re-stated the age of the main characters of these animations. .

These longevity animations have been broadcast for more than ten years, and some have even been broadcast for 20 or 30 years, so their seiyuu is mainly concentrated in 50 to 60 years old. For example, in the 47-year-old series “Lubang III”, the seiyuu Kobayashi of the second generation of Daeuke is 85 years old. Other legendary seiyuu such as Ching Chuan Yuan Meng, Zeng Ganghong, and Nozawa Masa are also in their prime, but they still stick to their posts. .

In these animations, the aging of Miss Conch is particularly serious. The youngest member of the main character seiyuu is 45 years old, with an average age of 65.4 years. In contrast, “Doraemon” changed its starring lineup in 2005 (especially the new voice of Yuki Takeshi, the new voice of Yokohama, who was under 15 years old), and the average age dropped to 44.1 years. In the longevity animation. It is a successful case of “rejuvenation”. .

Changshou Animation is not only an animated work, but also a variety of careers. The number of people and budgets involved are huge and even become part of Japanese culture, so these animations may not be easily completed. However, although the age of the characters does not increase, the seiyuu is old and sick, and the work and the audience must face this problem. .

The blog manager believes that although a lot of seiyuu works like “Doraemon” is just a case, but from the current age distribution, the main seiyuu of Changshou Animation is very good in the next 10-15 years. There may be a big change. .

In addition, the administrator pointed out that although seiyuu is often a personal career owner, of course, there is no concept of retirement age; but seeing the 70-80-year-old old man still showing his talents in the front line, no one can replace it, he still feels that this is really An incredible industry. .

The talks opened a novel submission website “NOVEL DAYS” last month. Yesterday, the website announced the “Re-School Fiction Award”. As you can see from the name, this award is different from the general newcomer award, which aims to discover writers who have “have been once out of business but have suffered setbacks”. .

On the “Re-School Fiction Award” page, the head of the third publishing department of the symposium was first sensationally expressed that the novel world was caught in an unprecedented crisis, but their publishers still believe that the novel has a future. For this reason, Japan holds many novel newcomers every year, and many new talents are available. .

However, due to the depression of the publishing industry, many people can only continue to publish their works if they are recognized and debuted. They even begin to doubt the value of the novel to abandon the creation, or stop working with the publisher for various reasons. At the heart of this era, there are not a handful of big-name writers, just newcomers who have just won awards. .

Because of this, they want to create such an award, to provide a new active field for those who have already debuted as professional novelists, and fully support those who deserve better evaluation. .

The person in charge of the editorial department of the Kodansha Light Fiction Library also published a propaganda message with similar themes but more lyrics. .

The work submitted to the award must be published on the NOVEL DAYS’ website, and the number of users and comments on the website may become the reference standard for the selection. .

For this award, there is no shortage of words on the Internet. In particular, readers who have written their favorite writers have expressed their hope that the writers they support will be able to recreate their creations through this award. The awards have just begun to collect works for a few hours. There have been many writers who have had commercial publications such as Yoshida Miyoshi, Yoshino Jasmine, and Sham Shui Po. .

However, some people have questioned this award. .

Critics Sansaki is asking: It’s nothing new to let the writers who are not selling and the writers who are too strong to change their pen names. What is the point of setting a special prize for this purpose? What are the benefits of getting the writers who don’t come to the manuscript to reinvigorate and connect with writers who don’t know the contact? .

An editor who met with Misaki played a well-intentioned and inappropriate analogy: “Editing is the profession of making a man with a lazy man. If you don’t think about a mechanism, then you can’t just gather it.” Incompetent diligent person’s…” Misaki also believes that “incompetent diligent people” tend to cause trouble, and the result may only be self-defeating. .

Another novelist who met with Misaki contacted him and said, “From the side of your side, you can find a work that is high in evaluation but can’t be sold out, and then give the author a chance to try and publish the work for him. The ‘re-departure award’ is much more like it. The reason why it is not done is because the editor is a group of incompetent and diligent people.” Sansaki saw the writer so murderous, and had to blame the previous analogy is not appropriate. .

I unknowingly want to know how the novelist, Gu Guzheng, who once debuted from the lecturer’s light novel library but contradicted the editor’s mental illness and was forced to abandon commercial publishing, commented on the award. His Twitter account has long been banned.
