The meet-and-greet at the Phoenix Pavilion is being broadcast at the forum.

The sudden appearance of the video page on the homepage also surprised the members of the forum, but after seeing the content, everyone became excited, and the fans couldn't help but be happy to know the news of the new work at the first time if they didn't go to the carnival.

After the news spread, many people came to the forum to watch it for the first time.

The two principals of Phoenix Company, an old man and a young man, have already delivered speeches for the closing ceremony on the stage, and announced the first content of the opening ceremony - the new comic that made a lot of noise a while ago has determined the final theme.

"Sure enough, it's a new comic!"

Whether it was the guild hall or the outside world, everyone opened their eyes wide, waiting for Meng Huo to reveal the true face of the new work in person.

After the opening ceremony, Xu Jing sat down on a chair and handed the stage to Meng Shu alone.

However, before Meng Shu revealed, an accident happened, in those posters that were brought to the stage, the black cloth of a poster board seemed to deviate from the center of gravity when it moved, and suddenly slid down when Meng Shu approached, revealing the poster inside.

“……”

The sudden change stunned the audience at the hall and the fans in front of the computer.

There was silence for two seconds, and then immediately the audience in the front row stood up and looked at the poster, while the reporters' cameras were pointed at the drawing board.

Xu Jing, who was sitting on the stage, was stunned, and then laughed: "It seems that you don't need to say it." ”

Meng Shu helplessly looked at the exposed poster, the content of the poster was set against the background of a game of Go, and there were several comic characters standing in front of it. Even if you don't know who these people are. But the background can see the theme of the new manga.

"Go? Oh, my God. This is Go! ”

"I must be dazzled, why is it a pity that the teacher wants to draw a Go comic!?"

"How can it be Go, this is too difficult, how to draw it!"

There was a commotion inside and outside the hall, which was too unexpected and made many fans seem restless and excited. And for some people who originally competed for the new comics, this is an answer that no one can imagine.

"Go!? Not sports? It turned out to be a chess and card comic!? ”

Many people in the sports world were shocked, although it was a pity to talk about the category of chess and cards in the previous scope. However, most people still believe that he will definitely choose sports - the audience of sports comics is much larger than that of chess and cards, and the fierce competition in sports can better stimulate readers' desire to read.

"Impossible! How did he choose chess and cards? Where's this stuff that can't be in the lobby? ”

Liu Yurong looked quite puzzled, like many other people in the sports world, he despised chess and card things from the bottom of his heart. In modern times, chess and cards have completely become entertainment games, and it is difficult to get into the hall of elegance, and it is easy for people to look down on the identity of cartoonists when drawing chess and card cartoons.

Of course, chess and the like are exceptions, but as for Go...... This Liu Yurong doesn't understand, but it seems to be different from those popular modern chess and card games on the market. It's something with historical roots, so it's a shame to draw Go comics. It can be regarded as ensuring a high style.

"But it's still a crepe ......"

Liu Yurong frowned, even if he could be on the hall of elegance, but could such a crepe thing still be attractive when he put it on a comic? Before that, he never seemed to have seen a game of Go - whether it was a novel, a TV series, or even a TV show.

Go, in his memory, is only something that exists in ancient times, this thing is comparable to sports?

"It's nonsense!" Liu Yurong thought so, he didn't know that at a dining table in Yanjing, the president of the Basketball Association also received the news, and the president's face was pale, and he also scolded: "It's a pity that this is really inexplicable!" ”

And the president of the football association sat next to him and sneered: "Dumbfounded, right? I'll just say you're making a big fuss, Go comics...... To make this choice, I don't think that cartoonist is a great person! ”

"You still want to give him 400 million, in exchange for me, I won't pay four yuan!"

The reason why these three big names in the world of sports are so unfavorable is because they don't think that Go can draw beautiful cartoons at all - not only them, but also people in the chess and card world have the same opinion.

On the forum of the House of Regrets, a member who is certified as a famous Chinese chess player posted with anger.

"Go? Why Go? It's a pity that the teacher's choice is too disappointing, what can I draw in Go? The competition of black and white, the square layout, how many people can understand? It's not as simple and exciting as chess! ”

This is the reason why Liu Yurong is not optimistic, and it is also something that makes many fans feel stunned, the competition of chess and cards is generally simple and clear, like chess: each chess piece has a different meaning, and then the game can be clearly understood, which is a very important thing.

Not only chess, but also military chess, poker, mahjong, and even other chess and card games, all surpass Go in terms of ease of understanding and the strength of the game situation. The Go chessboard is a grid, without words, and the chess pieces are black and white, so the reader can't see the whole picture at all.

In fact, the rules of Go are very simple, but it is difficult to understand the game, the board is very large, and people who have a certain understanding of the game but do not have a deep understanding of the game can only see the simplest scenes, but the real game situation is incomprehensible - unlike chess, the situation is clear at a glance.

Few readers in this world know about Go, coupled with the high viewing requirements of Go, the two add up, the audience of Go comics, this is really a niche in the niche, many people see the poster the moment they see it, they know that this is the smallest niche comic theme drawn since their debut.

"It's a pity that the teacher is so bold!"

"It's a pity I can't read Go......"

"Why do you draw such professional comics? Why is the teacher still good at Go? ”

Phoenix Pavilion, Meng Shu glanced at the venue, he hadn't spoken yet, but the faces of the audience in the venue were either confused or disappointed without exception after the noise. However, he already knew this scene in his heart, and "Chess Soul" had not really been launched yet, and for these readers, they certainly couldn't imagine how it would be expressed.

Meng Huo is the only one who understands it, and this comic theme seems to make people stay away, but in fact, whether or not he can play Go and whether he can understand it doesn't mean much to "Chess Soul".

If you want to say why, the simplest example is him, he doesn't know how to play Go, and he still can't play even after watching "Chess Soul", but this does not affect his liking in the slightest. And Meng Huo dared to swear that among the ten people who liked chess souls in his last life, it is estimated that none of them will really play chess.

So, he picked up the microphone and said in front of an audience full of regrets: "As you can see, the new manga has been decided to be a Go manga, and of course, I believe everyone is very strange and disappointed...... Probably not many of you know how to play Go, and none of you have any interest in it, am I right? ”

Immediately there was a sound of harmony under the stage, and many people shouted for Meng Shu to change his mind, Go is really not a subject that everyone can like.

Meng Shu thought for a while: "When I draw comics, I rarely consider other people's preferences...... Let me ask you one thing, before Detective Conan was released, would anyone think they would like a detective manga? ”

He looked into the audience, where dozens of people shouted yes.

"Well, I didn't think there were so many detective fans before." Meng Shu smiled bitterly, and then asked: "Then before the launch of "Chongwu Elf", would anyone believe that an animation that captures Chongwu and fights can become the most popular animation in China?" ”

This time, the audience was in an uproar, and more than a dozen people said they believed it.

"You guys are smarter than CCTV!"

Meng Shu shook his head, and many people laughed at once. To be honest, before "Chong Wu Elf" came out, if someone told them that there would be an animation with this theme that would become the first in China, no one would believe it.

The agitation in the audience has gradually subsided, and fans have understood what Meng Yu means - this Go manga is the same comic as "Detective Conan" and "Chong Wu Pixie", which will be unexpected. (To be continued......)
