Chapter 228: Annual Meeting
January 1 means a new beginning of the year.
After the latest episode of "Chess Soul" "Liang" was published, readers looked forward to the duel between Zuo Wei and Xiaoliang more and more.
"Zuo's name has already made a name for himself in the amateur Go world. It's really comfortable to watch the last few words. ”
"It's not just from the Go world, don't you see? Xu Fang Jiudan also noticed Zuo. It shows that Zuo has attracted the attention of professional chess players. ”
"Haha, these people are asking who Zuo is."
"It's a pity, no one can find it!"
"It's so hard to find, on the Internet, it's hard to know the identity of the other party."
"However, Gao Yi is also too smart to deduce that the other party is a child just by Zuo's appearance in the daytime in July and August."
"I don't agree with that. Isn't it okay for a teacher or a college student? ”
"Maybe it's because Zuo asked him 'Am I good?' Adults, you probably wouldn't say that, would you? ”
"Huh? And this explanation? ”
"The title of this chapter is 'Liang', and in the end, Xiao Liang not only registered an account, but also had a duel with Zuo."
"It's a pity that the comics are gone here."
"Speaking of which, I remembered that Mr. Shen has always been very good at breaking the context, and he was already notorious when he was in "Y's".
"The annoying Teacher Shen, it turns out to be a repeat offender!"
"That's no way, space is limited. Next is the third fight between Zuo Wei and Xiao Liang. ”
"Isn't it the fourth?"
"Please, the third time is the Go game played by Xiaoguang and Xiaoliang, Xiaoliang really can't win Zuowei."
"It seems that Xiaoguang has true love for Xiaoliang, otherwise, it is impossible to lose the game with Xiaoliang and let Xiaoliang participate in the professional assessment."
"This ...... It's too dirty. ”
……
Although readers have various demands and speculations about the recent episode, when the 34th episode "A Game of Reminiscence" was published, all readers had a further understanding of Xiao Liang - Xiao Liang actually had a guess about Zuo's identity from Zuo Wei's chess move.
"This ...... Unlikely, right? Is it a myth of Xiaoliang? It is simply inconceivable to deduce a person's identity from the chess move. ”
"Actually, it's possible."
"Why?"
"Go is a very logical game. Different people, with different ways of thinking, may have different solutions to the same chess game. Moreover, Xiao Liang and Zuo Wei are replaying the game of chess that the two of them played for the second time, so it makes sense that Xiao Liang would doubt Zuo's identity. ”
"Xiaoliang is still too persistent, for the sake of Zuo Wei's ......"
"Then who knows, is he for Zuo Wei or for Xiaoguang? If it weren't for Xiaoguang's grade being similar to him, he wouldn't care so much about Xiaoguang, right? ”
"I have to say that these three characters are too deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. Originally, I thought I would hate Xiao Liang, but it turned out that he was as important as Xiao Guang in my heart. ”
"Looking forward to the next episode."
"Looking forward to it."
"However, the manga has been sold in three volumes, and the serialization has reached the 34th chapter, so shouldn't there be an animated version?"
"Yes. The results of this manga are good, and many comics that are not as good as "Chess Soul" have been made into animations. ”
"I guess, it's in April?"
"Enough, otherwise, there should be news."
"Teacher Shen, come on...... If you don't work hard, the animated version will be gone. ”
……
Shen Xin really didn't know what these people were calling for the animated version of "Chess Soul", and after handing in the original manuscript of episode 35, he was urged by Wang Wenhong to hurry up and prepare for and participate in the annual meeting of "ComicFuture".
According to Wang Wenhong's prompt, Shen Xin left the community, and a car drove over from the parking lot on the right side of the community and stopped beside Shen Xin.
Wang Wenhong pushed open the back door and let Shen Xin in.
"Where are you going?" After Shen Xin got into the car, he asked.
"Junhao Hotel." Wang Wenhong said.
"Huh? I remember you worked there? Shen Xin said in surprise.
"yes. Then again, it's bitter. ”
"It's a shame that you figured out those methods."
"Ideas, think about it, there are still some ideas." Wang Wenhong said with a smile.
Shen Xin thought about it and agreed with Wang Wenhong's statement.
Not to mention anything else, in order to achieve his goal, Wang Wenhong can really be open-minded, and many people can't do this.
"By the way, there will be a lot of celebrities today, in addition to the owners of some animation companies, and maybe the leaders of toy companies - however, these don't seem to have anything to do with you, and chess souls shouldn't be able to produce toys."
“……”
"The chairman of the company will also come over...... In addition, there is a manga artist who lives in Hongchuan. Wang Wenhong recalled.
Shen Xin nodded.
This is where comic magazines differ from the Internet.
Before the crossing, the station invited the great god to attend the annual meeting, and the network writers basically flew to the meeting place from all over the country, and the cartoonists were not so convenient.
They create each episode of the comic, and they have to go through two parts: the name and the original manuscript. Sometimes, editors even have to spend the night discussing with cartoonists, so it's best for cartoonists to be in the same city as the magazine.
"By the way, are all the cartoonists of ComicFuture in Hongchuan?"
"Well, most of them are in Hongchuan, but there are also one or two people who live in counties and cities near Hongchuan."
"A cartoonist outside of Hongchuan...... Do you draw with a pen tablet and a computer? Shen Xin asked.
"Well, but also manuscripts. But even so, I still think it's better to live with the editor, so it's easier to discuss comics. ”
"Perhaps...... Will there be no responsibility for this industry in the future? ”
Shen Xin remembered the Chinese comics of the earth. Most of those comics are serialized on the Internet, and the role of the editor in charge will indeed be much smaller, and even some rookie cartoonists will not get the guidance of the editor in charge at all.
"How is that possible? If there is no editor-in-charge, who will review the manuscript for them? Wang Wenhong waved his hand.
Shen Xin just wanted to refute, but then he thought, maybe the kind of network serialization of the earth will not appear in this world?
Compared with the earth, the Chinese comic industry in this world is quite perfect.
Maybe ...... in the future There will definitely be webcomics, but it is unlikely to be the same as the earth, so the work and mode of the editor-in-charge will still be preserved.
"By the way, then do you say that there will be that possibility in the future......" Shen Xin rubbed his chin and said after thinking, "For example, living in a foreign country, having your own editor-in-charge, and then using the computer to draw manuscripts?" ”
"Good idea." Wang Wenhong replied directly without thinking, "But Mr. Shen, you forgot a question, which requires money." It's true that the salary of an editor is not high, but there is a bonus...... Bonus money is the driving force of our struggle. ”
Shen Xin rolled his eyes.
Isn't it just a bonus? When did he not give his assistant a bonus after the first month of royalties in a single book?
As for Wang Wenhong, it's not that Shen Xin doesn't want to give him a bonus, but that his salary is not Shen Xin's responsibility, and the magazine does not allow him to accept Shen Xin's money.
"By the way, the writers you are familiar with, like Mr. Ye, Mr. Wang, and Mr. Han, are all there. At the meeting, Mr. Shi Yan may speak on behalf of the cartoonist. ”
I don't know them very well.
Shen Xin retorted in his heart, but said in his mouth: "Teacher Shi Yan? ”
Shen Xin was stunned for a moment, and then remembered that Shi Yan is the author of "Killer's Diary", and this year ...... Uh, winner of last year's Best Long-Form Manga Award.
"I thought it was Mr. Wang who spoke?" Shen Xin said with a smile.
"The magazine doesn't want to be alone every year." Wang Wenhong rubbed his nose, "This can be regarded as a recognition of Teacher Shi." ”
