A week later, Japan's "Weekly Shonen Jump" finally began serializing the new "Chess Soul". As soon as it was published, it quickly captured a group of earliest fans in the Japanese manga market because of its full-color graphics, exquisite artwork, story rhythm with ups and downs, and ancient and rich cultural heritage.

After a month of serialization, it has already caused heated discussions in the comic fan circle, and many well-known cartoonists have been blown up to express their love for this comic. The owner of the toy store was also very surprised how Go, which had been unsalable before, had recently sold out. It's amazing that even elementary school students are starting to like playing Go.

There is an old grandfather with him, and Xiao Xiaokai is still a chess saint in the Spring and Autumn Period, which is no longer an old grandfather at the level of an old grandfather. But in terms of painting style, this old man still maintains a young and handsome appearance, and he also sells a cute hand. Wearing the clothes of the ancient Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, holding a paper fan in his hand and following the little boy on the street, sometimes shouting at the passing electronic lanterns, this funny picture also quickly gathered huge popularity for the "chess saint Yiqiu".

In order to test Yiqiu's strength, Xiao Xiaokai rashly played against Murong Liang, a genius Go child, and won a small victory over his opponent. He didn't know that Murong Liang was the son of a celebrity, and mistakenly thought that Yiqiu was an ordinary chess player, and he was deeply dissatisfied with this. However, Murong Liang was devastated and extremely frustrated. A few days later, Liang challenged him again, and although he was angry at Xiao Kai's contempt for Go, he had no choice but to lose to Yiqiu again. This incident even blew up a big boss, Murong Liang's father Murong Celebrity.

opened the plug-in to kill the genius Go player in seconds, and blew up the character of Murong Ming, who is a member of the Go rank. The extremely crooked plot made comic fans unable to see enough, and also set off a "chess soul" craze, which also made the magazine's sales begin to show an increasing trend.

In a word, "Chess Soul" is popular, and it has become popular after only one month of new serialization.

Sakuragi now reports the situation by email every day, and a large number of letters from readers are sent to his home. But they are all Japanese fans, and he knows that he can't read Japanese, so he will reply to the letter on his behalf.

As an anime fan, Sakuragi himself enjoys it. I've always just watched anime, but I didn't expect that now he has launched a widely discussed classic anime, how can I not be excited. Even his father, who has always been strict, praised him for the first time, bought him a sports car, and let him enter Fuji TV for an internship.

More and more people are beginning to discuss the topic of China, thinking that China is what it looks like in comics, and envy China's prosperous chess culture.

"Weekly Shonen Jump" also announced the author of this manga, and also interviewed Happy in the form of an online interview. In the new issue of the weekly, I dedicate a page to the happy resume. Comparing the photos, fans suddenly discovered that this guy actually painted himself as the chess saint Yiqiu, which is really amazing.

Graduated from USC's directing department and participated in the production of the world-famous Hollywood 3D cartoon "Toy Story", which makes people feel like a cannon fights mosquitoes. In short, the qualifications are not simple. However, a few work photos taken casually allowed him to gain a group of Japanese female fans, which was unexpected.

Happy groped his chin and began to self-absorbed, "Everywhere the handsome guy goes, he is like a firefly in the dark, so bright and so outstanding." ”

Studio trio: "Evil~~"

Japan has become a big hit, and "Manyou", which has been paying attention to Japanese animation information, naturally got the news as soon as possible, and the solid report, as well as the interview with the author in the new magazine, have given Kaneshiro greater confidence. He consulted with Xingyi and began to move.

After spending money to take care of it, a huge comic advertisement suddenly appeared in the latest issue of "Beijing News" and "Nandu Daily": a little boy with a bunch of yellow hair on his forehead and another child with a little long hair who didn't know whether it was a man or a girl were playing a similar game, and behind the yellow-haired boy stood a man in ancient costume wearing an ancient style and holding an origami fan, waving his fan and pointing at the chessboard, obviously teaching children to play chess.

This cartoon attracted many readers who read the newspaper in the early morning, and Niu Ren, who had resigned and stayed at home, was also one of them. He reads the newspaper and likes to flip through it first and then look at the front page. This time, when I turned to the middle page, I suddenly made a light "huh" and stopped:

“…… The domestic manga "Chess Soul" has been published overseas and is currently being serialized on Japan's largest anime platform, "Weekly Shonen Jump", which has sparked a crazy discussion among anime fans in Japan...... According to Japanese media reports, even Go, a game that is not usually popular with young people, is now sold out, and most of the buyers are teenagers. ”

"We interviewed Mr. Gao Xing, the author of "Chess Soul", and learned that he insisted on drawing this comic in his spare time during his study abroad at the USC Film School, and he sharpened his sword for four years, and finally succeeded after returning to China. At present, the price of the manga serialized on "Weekly Shonen Jump" is 20,000 yen per page, and the color page has increased by 50%, while "Chess Soul" is almost full color, equivalent to 3,000 yuan per page. Because the signing is a floating price, the comic has also been serialized for more than a month, and they are currently negotiating with the magazine to increase the price. Moreover, the distribution rights of single books are also competing for bidding by many publishers...... The Mountain and Sea Animation Studio, which he leads, is producing zuò cartoons. The editor is fortunate to have a sneak peek, although he has not yet dubbed, he is definitely a new benchmark for domestic animation, and people can't wait to see him. ”

"In today's environment where Japanese animation is aggressively encroaching on the domestic market, Chinese children grow up watching Japanese cartoons and learn Japanese culture. The success of "Chess Soul" is also the first time that an excellent domestic anime has been published in the Japanese market, and it has achieved great success. This is a counterattack by domestic animation, and it is also a powerful response from conscientious animation to shoddy production. Domestic animation is not without talent, but piecework has disrupted the pattern of animation, and the iconic Shangmei Factory has lost its original style, and we have not seen Chinese animation films for many years. I hope that the birth of "Chess Soul" can somewhat save some of the status quo. ”

"The original Chinese version of "Chess Soul" will be exclusively serialized in "Manyou" anime magazine, so stay tuned."

The contact information of the Mountain and Sea Studio and Manyou Magazine is also hung up, and contributions are welcome.

Short reports, most of which are exaggerated words, and domestic newspapers like to go online. But the current situation of anime has indeed attracted the attention of many people, and it is not overreported. Several huge cartoons also occupy the main pages, and there are not many reports on "Mountains and Seas" and "Chess Soul".

But it's such a report, but Niu Ren doesn't get tired of reading it over and over again. I only felt that my heart was warm, and my whole body was comfortable. He is one of the few people who has watched "Chess Soul" in advance, and I really hope that the moment this anime is published in China, it will be as successful as it is in Japan. Looking at it, he suddenly remembered the business card that Happy left him: "Do you want to go...... Or take another look? ”

The advertisements were loud and costed a lot of money, but there were not many media outlets that really followed the reports.

Maybe some people are paying attention, and after a few days, they gradually forget about it. But this advertising is not useless, and the unwell-known "Manyou" has suddenly received contributions from many cartoonists, regardless of whether their cartoons are good or bad, these cartoonists are the most important resource. The Mountain and Sea Studio also recruited ten new interns, and Ma Jiu, who had a one-sided relationship, really fooled him. The rest are all high-achieving students from Beiying and China Opera Animation Academy, because it is just the graduation season at this time, and there are not many high-achieving students who can put down their shelves and find jobs. After all, the name of the studio is too small to keep people. These people still want to earn some living expenses to make ends meet, and then find another job.

I was happy to think about the difficulty of returning to China to start a business, but I didn't expect this to be the case.

Don't worry about things being bad, but no one cares about what's going on, there are hundreds of millions of children in China.

He couldn't help but make a head, but the most important thing was not to let this topic weaken: "All go online, the company is connected to a 100M broadband network, you just read novels?" What a waste, all for me to go to the Internet to water it. ”

"Boss, what is irrigation?" Ma Jiu honestly raised his hand and asked.

"Hey~"

I was so happy that I glanced at it and found that most of these people were in a state of confusion, so I had to admit it and teach the little classmates hand in hand.

Pretending to be an ordinary netizen, he released the news that Chinese comics entered Japan, focusing on "high prices", which attracted the attention of netizens. "Rather than boring learning computer composition, they like to surf the Internet.

In these years, there is a lack of information on the Internet, and it is difficult to find even a place to irrigate. There is no search engine website, not even the former god network hao123 has not come out, Tianya doesn't know where to shrink to practice Tai Chi, and several campus BBS have become the focus of attention.

Sohu、NetEase search,You can really search,Look at the page is really worrying.,It should be a trial operation.。 Regardless of these, as long as you don't go offline, it's fine, and at worst, Yahoo and Google are on top.

"** and Tencent haven't been born yet, I'll rub it, Wang Zhidong and Ma Huateng, what the hell are you two doing, hurry up and find a wife to give birth......"

It's a pity that happy is now that funds are also tight, and he has been a programmer for a lifetime in his last life, and in this life, he is deliberately avoiding the IT industry, but he didn't think about the past, and now he should invest in two companies as soon as possible to make a big profit or something.

“……”

As soon as I got distracted, there was a problem at the bottom. In the face of a bunch of computer whites, it's a problem for you to even teach you to irrigate by hand, "You are a pig's head, a pig's head, can you change your account and then follow the post, is it interesting to chat with yourself!" ”

"Oh, oh" responded silly.

happily watched them clumsily tap on the keyboard, slapped their foreheads, and shouted to the sky: "Oh my God, when will the days of this nanny end." ”

A large group of people at the bottom shrank their heads in unison, for fear of touching the boss's moldy head.

After teaching for a while, I finally learned it. There are smart ones who have begun to take over the boss's work and take the initiative to teach the stupid ones, but they are relieved to be happy, and they also turn on the computer and play. Look at how fast he is typing on the keyboard, this group of people is only greedy, let's practice "one yang finger" honestly.
