"What's going on now?" Shen Xin asked.

"Orochi and Murakami have arrived, and the people on Long Yao's side are still on the way." Wang Wenhong put the materials on the table, thought about it and explained, "Orochi and Murakami they live in a hotel, so it's easy to gather. Long Yao has to meet with the person in charge of the TV station and Xiangrui Technology, so it will be a little late. ”

Shen Xin nodded.

Wang Wenhong seemed to be explaining the reason why Long Yao didn't come, but his words pointed out the identity of the meeting attendees.

Shen Xin didn't care too much, he basically didn't have much intersection with these people, so he didn't have too many scruples.

At this time, the landline on the table rang.

Wang Wenhong hurriedly answered the phone, answered twice, and put down the phone.

"Long Yao's people have already arrived in the parking lot, let's go to the conference room now?"

"Okay."

Shen Xin nodded, if it was possible, he wanted to quickly negotiate the animation production, so that he could go back and continue to draw comics.

The plot of "Chess Soul" is getting better, and when it is time to produce results, he can't relax.

The editors of the editorial department looked at Shen Xin and Wang Wenhong who walked out of the room, and their eyes were full of envy.

The comic "Chess Soul" is jointly produced by two top animation production companies, District 11 and Huaxia...... This kind of treatment can't even be done in "The Legend of the Dragon King".

But "Chess Soul" does have capital, and the four single books sold nearly 800,000 copies in a single week in District 11, and it is difficult for other Chinese comics to achieve such good results when they were first released in District 11.

Shen Xin followed Wang Wenhong up the stairs, and suddenly remembered something, "By the way, the editors seemed to be gathered around just now, flipping through the manuscript - are there a lot of people submitting articles recently?" ”

"Have you forgotten the 'Newcomer Short Story Contest'?" Wang Wenhong asked.

Shen Xin scratched his head, he forgot that this matter had not entered his brain at all. ”

"How? Are there any good newcomers? Shen Xin said curiously.

"Absolutely. But it's hard to say how high it will be in the end. After all, long and short stories are still not the same. Wang Wenhong said helplessly, "Although the editorial department wants to launch newcomers quickly, I think that newcomers had better sharpen themselves." They just have potential, and they don't have the strength to hit the 'Newcomer Award' yet. ”

Shen Xin hasn't read the newcomer's works, and it's not easy to evaluate, but he actually wants to see eye-catching comics.

ComicFuture's conference room is surrounded by glass walls on both sides, with a view of downtown Hongchuan from the outside.

In the middle of the conference hall, there is a large red round table in the shape of a circle, under the refraction of the sun, there is a feeling of reflection, in the middle of the ring, there are some green plants, lush, in the conference room, particularly eye-catching.

Shen Xin followed Wang Wenhong into the conference room and looked around, the room was in black and white as the base tone, with a sense of simplicity and elegance.

Bao Jiyi's style is not bad.

Shen Xin thought in his heart.

When the two came to the conference hall, there were already five people sitting in their seats, and in addition to Bao Jixian, Shen Xin also knew Yokoi and Murakami.

After Bao Jiyi's introduction, Shen Xin knew that among the remaining two people, the older one was the president of Orochi, Fukuda Luge, and the middle-aged man with glasses was the translator, Mitsuri Oi.

After introducing each other, Futian looked surprised, obviously he didn't expect Shen Xin to be so young.

Shen Xin said hello and sat on the outside seat.

At this time, Shang Haozhi pushed the door in, followed by five people, three of whom were shareholders of Long Yao, and the other two were the heads of TV stations and Xiangrui Technology.

These five people also saw Shen Xin for the first time, and they were also surprised by Shen Xin's age, and then showed enthusiasm.

Such a young cartoonist is more promising than those old cartoonists, and if you have a good relationship now, you will avoid a lot of trouble in the future.

After shaking hands with Shen Xin warmly, Long Yaofang's people also sat in their respective seats.

Bao Jiyi looked at the people sitting down in a circle, and after all the circles were gathered, he said: "Yesterday, everyone had a consensus on most of the cooperation, but in some places, there are still some differences, for this reason, we also invited Mr. Shen to come over and discuss with everyone, and strive to find a result that satisfies everyone." Mr. Shen, the situation is like this, the two companies have a disagreement on the production length of the animation, Long Yao hopes to be able to produce 13 episodes of Jiban, while Orochi wants to make Nianban.

"You are the author of "Chess Soul", and your understanding of "Chess Soul" must be better than everyone here, I want to ask, which one do you think is more suitable."

Long Yao and the person in charge of Orochi turned their heads to look at Shen Xin.

"My choice...... Half a year. Shen Xin's words seemed to be said casually without thinking.

Wang Wenhong was stunned, but he didn't expect Shen Xin's suggestion to be really "half a year".

Mr. Shen, this is not a multiple-choice question, there is no need to use the elimination method.

Fukuda listened to Oi's translation, nodded slightly, and his expression did not change at all, while the three responsible persons of Long Yao had a headache.

The two animations produced by Long Yao will only start to be screened next month, and it will take a certain amount of time for the funds to return to the film, and there is a not small gap in the money lost by film animation. At this time, there is still a lot of pressure to produce a high-quality semi-annual film - even with the support of the TV station and Xiangrui.

"Teacher Shen, is there any reason why you are doing this?" The head of the TV station asked.

"Yes." Shen Xin nodded and said with a serious expression, "As an author, of course I hope to be able to make Nianban, after all, the longer the animation is played, the better the sales of the comics." But now "Chess Soul" has only published more than 40 words, and the content can't support the year. When the time comes, you will probably use the original plot again...... I'll put it this way, I hate the original plot in the anime, it slows down the pace of the anime. ”

Oi translated Shen Xin's words into Japanese, and Fukuda opened his mouth, but did not make a sound.

The person in charge of the TV station also agreed with Shen Xin's words.

Comics are popular, and animations with a bad reputation are mostly dragged down by original plots, and only a few original plots of animations can maintain good quality.

"Then why can't you make 13 episodes?" Long Yao's general manager hurriedly asked.

"13 episodes...... Have you watched "Chess Soul"? Shen Xin asked.

The general manager nodded, and after deciding to make the animation of "Chess Soul", he took the time to see the single book of Chess Soul.

"You've got a lot of experience in making animations. If you make 13 episodes of animation, which episode will it end? ”

"It should be...... Xiaoguang lost to Xiaoliang for the first time, right? The general manager said.

"Same as I thought. But if it ends in this place, the reader will have a sense of frustration, after all, Hikaru lost the game. We hope that the animation will attract the audience and make them readers of "Chess Soul", so as to drive the sales of the manga, rather than making the audience feel that they are not in the mood to read the manga after watching the anime.

"Therefore, I think that the end of the animation should give the audience a sense of anticipation. For example, Xiaoguang passed the dojo exam, or began to play Go. Shen Xin explained.
