When Wang Wenhong saw this color page for the first time, he was surprised. At this time, the exclamation of the editor in the editorial department reminded him of the feelings at that time.

Just looking at this color page is enough to make everyone look forward to this comic.

The second color page is Zuo Wei and Jin Tengguang, Zuo Wei has a folding fan in his hand open, covering his cheeks, and Jin Tengguang, who is standing in front of him, holds a sunspot in his hand and puts it on the chessboard.

If the first color picture is more realistic, then the second color picture has the flavor of a comic cover page.

Seeing this, Hook nodded again and again, "Mr. Shen's painting style is a little different from before, but the painting skills shown are still good." ”

"Not bad, take the first color picture as an example, how many cartoonists at his age can draw it?" An editor said.

"Then again, the quality of a comic still depends on the story."

"Haven't you already seen the name in advance?"

"But I haven't looked at the original manuscript yet...... Sometimes the feeling of looking at the manuscript is different from looking at the name. ”

Hook tapped his hands twice, "Everyone, be quiet, you're going to read the manuscript soon." ”

His heart was also tickled by two color pages, and he couldn't wait to open the original manuscript of the first sentence.

Even though he had already read the name, even if he already knew the outline of the story, when he saw the text, Hook still felt a sense of freshness.

This freshness, on the one hand, comes from the change of Shen Xin's painting style, from the current point of view, although the painting style still has some shadows of "Y's", but the painting style shown in the original manuscript is more suitable for "Chess Soul"; On the other hand, after supplementing the game and the knowledge related to Go, the manga suddenly has a sense of heaviness.

This may be the characteristics of thousands of years of precipitation in Go.

When he turned to the last page, Hook still didn't feel at peace, and then read it two or three times in a row before closing the original.

"In the next issue of the magazine, you must be on the poster of "Chess Soul"!" Hook said in a deep voice.

"Why?" One editor exclaimed.

"With this kind of quality color page, you can't say it without a poster, right?" Hook tapped on Zuo Wei's single coloring page and whispered.

That being said, the posters for the next issue have already been decided. Moreover, Mr. Shen's "Chess Soul" is scheduled for the 21st issue, and now the 14th issue has just been released, how can it be advertised more than a month in advance? The editor retorted.

Hook touched his beard, and the man was right.

"Team leader, you don't need to have so many issues in advance, it's best to give away 20 issues, and then 21 issues will be published and serialized, and readers will have a sense of expectation."

In many meetings of the magazine, the editor-in-charge was not qualified to participate, so Wang Wenhong could only have a good relationship with Hook and let Hook say two good words for "Chess Soul" at a critical time.

Hook nodded, and the others cast disdainful glances at Wang Wenhong, but they also understood that if "Chess Soul" was their work, they might have made it even more exaggerated.

The first episode of "Chess Soul" caused a lot of controversy in the editorial department, but the editorial department soon focused on the reader questionnaire.

In the "little book" announced on Friday, "Hunting the Abyss" fell back to third place again, and Jian Xiao didn't say a word for a long time.

Sometimes the editor in charge is also quite helpless, obviously his mood is very depressed, but he has to adjust his mood to comfort the author.

When she told Ye Hexu about the results of the "little book", Ye Hexu's expression did not fluctuate much.

"What's wrong? Aren't you depressed? ”

"Depressed what? That's a good thing. Ye Hexu lowered his head, held the G pen in his hand, and looked back at Jian Xiaomei with a chuckle.

"A good thing?" Jian Xiaomei looked puzzled.

"The style of Hunting the Abyss changes, and so does the reader. The rankings will either rise or fall, and it is impossible to remain in third place. This can only show that the previous works also felt the pressure from "Hunting Abyss...... Soon, Mr. Shen will also be involved, and when the time comes, the reader questionnaire will be interesting. Ye Hexu stretched his muscles and showed a confident smile on his face, "This time, I won't admit defeat so easily." ”

Jian Xiaomei scratched her head, although half a year has passed since the comic ceremony, Ye Hexu still hasn't forgotten the defeat at that time.

This year, Shen Xin has not yet opened a book, and Ye Hexu does not have a suitable project, so it is impossible for either of them to participate in the comic festival. The duel between them can only be determined by the ranking of the reader's questionnaire.

This may be exactly what Ye Hexu is looking forward to.

At the same time, in another residence, a middle-aged man with a scruffy beard was painting at his desk when a doorbell rang outside the door.

The assistant immediately got up from his seat and opened the door, where a middle-aged man with a thin figure and small round glasses stood outside.

"Hello Teacher Jia." The assistant smiled.

"Is Mr. Wang's sketch finished?" The thin middle-aged man laughed.

"The painting is finished, Mr. Wang is waiting for you in the studio."

"Really? It's rare. ”

The middle-aged editor was stunned, followed the assistant into the living room, and knocked on the door twice, and the words "please come in" came from inside.

Pushing open the door, the middle-aged editor saw that the bearded cartoonist had turned around and looked at him with a smile.

"Mr. Wang, you should shave your beard...... Also, you haven't cut your hair in a long time, right? Even though he had just reached forty, he looked like he was sixty. ”

The middle-aged editor looked at the cartoonist helplessly, if he was not familiar with him, no one would have thought that this raunchy middle-aged man was the author of "The Legend of the Dragon King".

"Gee, I'm so busy that I forget all these things...... None of that matters, though. Wang Yunze chuckled, "Teacher Jia, this is the original manuscript of "The Legend of the Dragon King" and the name of the next sentence, please put it away." ”

"Mr. Wang, you seem to be in a good mood right now."

"Hmm."

"What is there to be happy about?"

"I remember that Mr. Ye is the author of your group, right?" Wang Yunze asked.

"That's right, it's the author of Jian Xiaomei."

"Some cartoonists may not be able to hold on for eight years, but "The Legend of the Dragon King" has lasted for almost nine years, so I'm a little tired of it." Wang Yunze sighed.

"Teacher, you must not think like that, ComicFuture can't live without The Legend of the Dragon King."

"I know. At that time, Editor-in-Chief Shang was really sincere in inviting me, so I insisted on it until now. I say I can still draw for eight years, but I don't necessarily have so many things in my head. But now it's different. Wang Yunze narrowed his eyes.

"Huh?"

"The change in "Hunting the Abyss" also made me feel happy, but at the same time, there was a little pressure. In addition, Mr. Shen's work is also going to be published, right? ”

"That's right, it's Go, but I don't know if its future results can threaten "The Legend of the Dragon King"."

Wang Yunze waved his hand.

"The subject matter is a bottle, and whether the comic is eye-catching or not depends on the story placed in the 'bottle'. Funny comics can be fun no matter what the subject matter is. "Y's" is just an ordinary love theme, but Mr. Shen has the ability to draw different content. Therefore, in the face of such a young author, I can't admit defeat. Teacher Jia Hui, this time, we must withstand the impact of newcomers. ”

"Of course, 'The Legend of the Dragon King' will definitely become the benchmark for 'ComicFuture'." Jia Hui pushed his small glasses and a confident smile appeared on his face.
