Chapter 337: Weakness and Choice
After Bao Jiyi and Shang Haozhi agreed, they revealed the news that the third season of "Chess Soul" may not be produced on the Internet.
For a while, there were waves on the Internet.
After Zhen Xi won Park Yongtai, some readers of "Chess Soul" began to pay attention to Go, and similarly, some Go enthusiasts and even professional chess players also began to watch "Chess Soul" under Zhen Xi's recommendation.
In their opinion, "Chess Soul" certainly has shortcomings. The quality of the chess games that appear in "Chess Soul" is average, and the several peak duels in the book, such as the one between Zuo Wei and Shi Xingyang, use the famous games in the chess games.
In addition, the problem is not too big, on the contrary, because the chess games that appear are not too difficult, some people who have some knowledge of Go can understand the chess games in the book, and they have naturally become readers of "Chess Soul".
The production level of the animation of "Chess Soul" is very high, both the picture and the music, there is a good quality, so some chess players who are usually not interested in comics are quickly attracted to comics.
When they learned that the third season could not be made, they immediately protested - the Beidou Cup is a fond memory for them.
Only two days later, another gossip was released.
The main reason why the third season of "Chess Soul" was stillborn was that the Han National Chess Academy exerted pressure and the magazine had to make compromises.
This news, like a boulder, was thrown into the lake, and it instantly made waves.
If it's because of insufficient funds, or low sales, they have nothing to say, but it's really to give up because of the pressure of the Han National Chess Academy.
Is there a chess academy in China?
Huaxia also has a chess academy!
Many readers "poked" the Weibo of the Huaxia Chess Academy, and some people who were not interested in Go and didn't even read comics, after learning about it, couldn't help but "poke" the Huaxia Chess Academy: This ...... Can you bear it?
Unlike the righteous indignation of Chinese readers and netizens, Han is in a different situation in China, and they all applauded.
"Now you know the power of the Chess Academy, right?"
"Want to animate the Beidou Cup? There was no chance at all. ”
"The Huaxia Chess Academy shouldn't intervene, right?"
"How is that possible? The nature of the Huaxia Chess Academy and the Han National Chess Academy is different, it is official, and it cannot be easily stated. ”
"Hee-hee, that's fine. Huaxia people are too careful in doing things. ”
……
The news related to "Chess Soul" spread quickly on the Internet.
Although Shen Xin is the author, he didn't know about the news, and it wasn't until Xi Muhan called that he opened the webpage, browsed the relevant news on the comic network, and understood the reason.
The things that the third season of "Chess Soul" could not produce caused a stir on the Internet, and it was impossible for "ComicFuture" not to know, but the magazine has remained silent until now, neither denying nor admitting it, and not even expressing a little attitude, which is not normal, and Wang Wenhong did not mention it to him. This shows that the current situation is exactly what ComicFuture wants.
Now that ComicFuture has action, there is no need for him to do anything else.
In the evening, Wang Wenhong called him and asked him to go to a nearby restaurant for dinner.
Shen Xin was also going to eat, so he took a copy of "Hunting Abyss" and hurriedly went downstairs.
When he came to the restaurant, Wang Wenhong was already waiting for him in the private room.
When the two met, they first exchanged two words, and then Wang Wenhong called the waiter and ordered a few dishes.
"Why are you so idle?" After Shen Xin sat down, he asked with a smile.
"Actually, I've been thinking about it for a long time, there are too many things." Wang Wenhong yawned and looked tired, "Do you know what happened on the Internet?" ”
"Hmm. Just knew. ”
"There's not much the magazine can do right now. Who would have thought that the Han National Chess Institute would actually sell it in person. Wang Wenhong said depressedly.
Shen Xin didn't say anything, he thought about it, and it is said that the original work also had this kind of "treatment".
But District 11 is not Huaxia, and the District 11 Chess Academy is not as confident as the Huaxia Chess Academy, so he once looked forward to the fact that "Chess Soul" could be filmed in its entirety.
Now it seems that I am thinking too much.
Wang Wenhong scratched his head, looked at Shen Xin with a sad face, was a little entangled, pondered again and again, and asked in a low voice: "Teacher Shen, if the magazine decides not to make the 'Beidou Cup', what will you do?" ”
This thing......
"The contracts are all signed, isn't it up to you to decide what to do?"
Shen Xin sighed, although he was prepared, he was still a little depressed.
"Didn't you have a gambling contract with Dong Bao?"
"yes. But after all, it is not a written contract, and he can choose to abide by it or choose not to follow it. He's in charge, right? Shen Xin shrugged.
Wang Wenhong was slightly surprised, he initially thought that Shen Xin's attitude would be very resolute, but he didn't expect him to be so easy to speak.
"However, if ComicFuture gives up the third season, then the animation rights for my next book may have to be considered for the magazine." Shen Xin said suddenly.
Don't give anime copyrights?
"Teacher, are you kidding?"
The first time Wang Wenhong heard it, there were cartoonists who dismantled the copyright and sold it.
"I'm serious." Shen Xin asked rhetorically, "If you really don't need it, it's better for me to keep it in my hands, and when there is a suitable opportunity, I will contact the animation company." ”
Wang Wenhong blinked, what Shen Xin said made sense, but he always felt weird.
However, if Shen Xin really plans to do this, then it is understandable that he chose not to sign a contract with "ComicFuture" for the time being.
Shen Xin saw Wang Wenhong's slight change, and sighed in his heart, compared with the platform, cartoonists are always a vulnerable group.
Signature cartoonists may be better and can negotiate the details of the contract with the magazine, while newcomers don't even have the right to speak.
The waiter brought the meal, three dishes and one soup, and a pot of rice.
"Mr. Shang asked you to come and ask?" Shen Xin scooped half a bowl of rice into a small bowl and asked puzzled.
Wang Wenhong laughed, did not admit it, and did not deny it.
"I have my own meaning. After all, ComicFuture is the best platform in China, and you are also very popular in China now, so I would like to know your next choice. ”
"I don't know, I don't want to say I'm going to stay at ComicFuture, because it's a bit like a flag, it's not very lucky." Shen Xin took a bite of rice in his mouth, and then saw Wang Wenhong's questioning eyes, so he smiled, "I know you don't believe it, but I just want to rest now, it's best to go out for a trip." The new thing, wait until the next year, right? By the way, Brother Wang, are you interested in the New Year, let's go out and have fun together? ”
Wang Wenhong was stunned for a moment, then smiled and nodded again and again.
"I also have time for the Chinese New Year. Where are you going? Wang Wenhong hurriedly asked.
"Not sure...... By the way, Brother Wang, do you know Japanese? I want to go to the 11th arrondissement. ”
"No, Yan Fei, she will ......"
The voice stopped abruptly, Wang Wenhong couldn't wait to slap his mouth, what did you mention Yan Fei?
Shen Xin seemed to be smiling, and took another bite of rice into his mouth.
