Chapter 345: Comics and Adaptations

15 million copies?

Didn't expect sales to be so good in District 11?

This was beyond Shen Xin's expectations.

Although "Chess Soul" was serialized simultaneously in "Shonen Leap", it was not the first release after all, so the sales volume was definitely not as good as that of Earth, but it was really not easy to reach 15 million copies.

However, there is another point in this poster that makes Shen Xin feel very helpless, that is, in the translation of the title of the book.

"Chess Soul" is actually a paraphrase, which literally means "chess of light" in Japanese, and later translated as "chess soul". However, when Shen Xin was serialized in "ComicFuture", he directly used "Chess Soul" as the title of the book, and as a result, Area 11 was translated as "碁のsoul".

This translation...... It's so real.

Continuing up, there are still a lot of types of goods, such as the library in the 11th area, shoujo manga, BL comics, doujinshi, etc., and games, sounds, and CDs are placed on the top floor.

After running a lap, everyone also felt sweaty, as if they had walked for miles.

When everyone went down to the first floor, they were shocked to see that the customers were still standing in a long line.

"This cartoonist is probably quite good, right?"

Shen Xin looked at the place where the book was signed and sold, but it was too far away, and there were a large number of readers watching, so he didn't go over.

"Who knows? There are so many cartoonists in District 11 that anyone who hasn't heard of it will have a large number of fans. Wang Wenhong explained.

This is also true.

Shen Xin agreed with Wang Wenhong's statement, but asked the others, "Where are we going next?" Looking for a place to eat? ”

"Okay." Xi Muhan looked expectant.

When she visited "Bnim" just now, she was already hungry, and when she heard about eating, she approved with both hands.

Wang Wenhong and Yan Fei had no objections, and now it was time to eat. After the meal, you can go and buy something you like.

Not long after Shen Xin and his party walked out of "Bnim", the cartoonist who signed and sold the book finally put down his pen and shook his arm.

"I'm really tired."

The cartoonist looked at the long queue in front of him, and felt a sense of powerlessness in his heart.

The next reader comes to the cartoonist with two books in hand.

"Mr. Tamagawa, this comic is really good, will you play with foreign teams next?"

"This ......"

As soon as the cartoonist spoke, the young man behind him stopped and said: "It's not convenient to reveal it now, so stay tuned for the next issue of the comic." ”

The young man's face was disappointed when he heard the young man's words.

The cartoonist signs his name on the title page of the book and hands it to the reader, "Thank you for your support." ”

The reader took the book and immediately smiled.

After the reader turned to leave, the manga artist turned to look at the young man behind him: "Mr. Ishizawa, please don't frighten my readers. ”

Ishizawa smiled wryly, "If I don't answer, you might just say that the manga is almost over, right?" ”

"Of course."

Ishizawa sighed, it was a pity that Haruka Tamagawa didn't understand the importance of a manga to a manga artist at all.

In the midst of his thoughts, a reader came over with a single book in his arms.

Haruka Tamagawa smiled reluctantly and picked up the pen again.

……

Not long after Shen Xin and his party returned to their residence, Ji Yinxuan and Xia Luo also returned to the hotel.

The three of them looked tired, and when they came back, they didn't say a word, but went to the bathhouse to take a bath, and then they recovered their spirits.

In the dining room, a group of people sit around a round table to eat. Driven by curiosity, Shen Xin opened his mouth and asked Xiang Ji Yinxuan: "Have you found the overseer?" ”

"I didn't refuse, it seems that I still want to wait and see." Ji Yinxuan picked up the goblet and took a sip of red wine.

"So what do you do, do you wait for them to reply, or do you find someone else?" Shen Xin was puzzled.

"Let's see tomorrow...... If someone says yes tomorrow, I won't wait for their reply. Ji Yinxuan picked up a knife and fork, cut off a piece of foie gras, and dipped it in the sauce.

"Those people too, the price we give is not low, and we also promised that they can bring their own assistants, why not just order it?" Charlotte didn't understand either.

"Maybe it's because we asked them to make it in Huaxia, right?" "Not everyone on the team wants to leave home. ”

This is indeed a fact, especially when Ji Yinxuan hired a director.

"Having said that, I thought that the 'Beidou Cup' was out of music, but I didn't expect you to take it...... You're not going to lose money by doing this, are you? Big movies are still very expensive. ”

"Where will you lose money? It's all been calculated, in fact, we're just using the 'Beidou Cup' to promote the game. Besides, this time the Huaxia Chess Academy will also support "Chess Soul", for us, even if we can't make money, we won't gain nothing. Ji Yinxuan said.

Shen Xin sighed slightly, there are some things, if you don't think about it, you can't think about it at all.

Take the movie "Beidou Cup" as an example, as long as the quality is passed, even if it doesn't make money, it is still not a loss for Zhenyu Technology - in cooperation with Huaxia Chess Academy, Zhenyu Technology's image is better than that of other game companies.

Money is an asset of a company, and so is its image.

"By the way, Shen Xin, what type of comic will you have next?" Ji Yinxuan looked at Shen Xin curiously.

"Miss Thistle, movie or animation...... Your company should only do this once, right? Wang Wenhong asked.

Zhenyu Technology is the largest game company in China, with strong assets, and if it can't start a comic magazine, it will definitely have an impact on the domestic comic industry.

"For the time being, it's an industry, you make comics first, so that the work can be recognized by the people, and we can save a lot of publicity costs by making games. Needless to say, Mr. Shen's two consecutive works have been verified by the market, and both of them have won the award of the 'Comic Festival', to be honest, the strength is better than other young cartoonists. Plus he's my junior, so if I need to adapt a game, I'll certainly consider his work first. ”

Shen Xin waved his hand slightly, "Senior sister, you really think so highly of me." ”

"Actually, speaking of adaptations...... It's also a good direction. Xiaohan's "National Journey" should also be good. Yan Fei said.

This time when she came to District 11, she only brought two copies of "National Journey", which looked very enjoyable.

In the case of ACG, it is considered an upstream of all genres, even if it is a comic, it is possible to adapt it.

Xi Muhan's face turned red, he didn't expect Yan Fei to suddenly mention "National Journey".

"Little sister's, I've seen it all. To be honest, it's not suitable for changing into a game, it is suitable for changing into a film and television, but we don't do this piece. Ji Yinxuan had some regrets.

Shen Xin understands Ji Yinxuan's meaning, in the final analysis, it is not that it is not suitable for adaptation into a game, but in the face of the same theme, the male and female authors have different starting points.

Female authors are more inclined to details, so female writers usually write delicately and the content is full of emotion, and these elements are difficult to reflect in the game, while male authors are more accustomed to starting from events and putting them in the game, and an event is a task.

"Shen Xin, you haven't said yet, what are your next calligraphy and paintings?" Xi Muhan looked at Shen Xin again.
