Compared with the smooth sailing of "Chess Soul" in Huaxia and Han, its fate in District 11 is a little twisted and turned.

One of the reasons is that there are several animations in District 11 that have been screened for decades, and the popularity they have accumulated is not comparable to that of "Chess Soul", which has been serialized for more than a year.

Secondly, "Shonen Leap" itself also has comics to take care of, not to mention others, like "Slam Dunk", the magazine constantly does publicity and advertising, and there are the top three animation companies in the industry, Dongying Animation personally created it, barely exceeding 6.5%, ranking tenth, not to mention "Chess Soul", even if it is jointly produced by orochi and Long Yao, the ratings are just over 5.5%.

This is a good and bad score, but whether it is a magazine or Orochi, they can understand the current situation of "Chess Soul". Moreover, compared with the overwhelming advertisements of "Slam Dunk", "Chess Soul" is also much more low-key.

Considering that Orochi only paid less than half of the cost of this cooperation, even if the DVD &BD sales of "Chess Soul" did not meet expectations, the company would not lose too much.

Compared with ratings, magazines pay more attention to how many single books they can sell.

This year, five volumes of "Chess Soul" have been released, and on average, each volume has sold about 400,000 copies. For an imported manga, that's an outstanding achievement.

With the release of the anime, Murakami also has his own plans, if nothing else, the sales of a single book of "Chess Soul" will rise by at least 200,000 copies...... No, considering that it is half a year, it is even possible to increase the number of copies by 300,000.

The ratings of the "Slam Dunk" animation are also good, and it can squeeze into the top ten, indicating that with the development of the plot in the future, the sales of the single book should have a good increase.

After the first episode of "Chess Soul" was broadcast, there was a good response among readers. However, "Chess Soul" is still ranked third in "ComicFuture", and there is no major improvement.

At present, "Hunting Abyss" is making the final sprint for the "Comic Festival", and the members of the jury have also begun to discuss "Hunting Abyss" and other comics.

Whether it is the Manjia.com forum or other websites, "Hunting the Abyss" is regarded as a popular candidate for the "Best Long-Form Manga of the Year" award, and "ComicFuture" strongly recommends "Hunting the Abyss" on websites, bookstores, and TV shows.

Under the momentum of "ComicFuture", "Hunting the Abyss" still ranked first in the small book ranking in the second week of October, and opened a gap of 50 votes with "The Legend of the Dragon King" in second place, with 615 votes.

In comparison, "The Legend of the Dragon King" and "Chess Soul" are only 20 votes apart, and they may be pulled down by "Chess Soul" at any time.

When Jia Hui saw this ranking, his muscles bulged, he picked up the phone, wanted to contact Wang Yunze, and then put down the microphone.

This kind of thing...... It's better to make it clear in person.

Hook watched Jia Hui leave the editorial department, and knew Jia Hui's thoughts, and he also took a look, although "Killer Diary" was still in fourth place, the gap with the fifth place was less than 5 votes, and it was only 15 votes more than the sixth place, and the ranking was in jeopardy.

If Shi Yan knew the current results of "Killer Diary", it is estimated that his stomach would hurt.

Let's take a look at the situation, lest he get cranky.

Hook sighed.

Shi Yan is indeed a very attractive man, whether it is a bun, a moderate figure, or sex. The sense of slag makes it have the potential of a star cartoonist.

But he also has a flaw – he likes to be nervous.

This can also explain why a 35+ year-old signature cartoonist is still just a "boy", yes, a "boy".

Putting the small book in his briefcase, Hook hurried out of the editing room with the briefcase.

Jian Xiaomei and Wang Wenhong glanced at each other, thinking "dissatisfied" on each other's faces, and then the two of them lowered their heads and continued to work.

Jia Hui's sudden visit surprised Wang Yunze. Today is not the agreed receipt date, and Jia Hui did not call in advance.

"The gap between "Chess Soul" and "The Legend of the Dragon King" is only 20 votes." After Jia Hui sat down, he went straight to the point.

"Well, I guess too. Recently, the plot of "Chess Soul" is relatively compact, even if there is no animation, it should be on the rise. ”

"Can't be surpassed by Chess Soul." Jia Hui said seriously.

"Why?" Wang Yunze was puzzled.

"Teacher Wang, if you are surpassed by "Chess Soul" again, "The Legend of the Dragon King" will become the third place." Jia Hui wanted to cry without tears.

"The third place is the third place...... the rhythm of "The Legend of the Dragon King" is not messy, but the other comics are too good, and the quality exceeds "The Legend of the Dragon King".

"Could it be that you just watched the ranking of "The Legend of the Dragon King" fall step by step?" Jia Hui hurriedly asked.

"How is that possible?" Wang Yunze shook his fingers, "However, you must also know that even if you win "Chess Soul" now, it doesn't make much sense, if you want to win, you can pull down "Hunting Abyss", and "The Legend of the Dragon King" will return to the first place." Don't worry, I'm already thinking about the plot of the next part. "The Legend of the Dragon King" is still the pillar of "ComicFuture". ”

"Since Mr. Wang said so, I am also relieved." Jia Hui breathed a sigh of relief.

Compared with the easy-to-use "Legend of the Dragon King", "Killer Diary" is in a more dangerous situation.

When Hook arrives at Shi Yan's studio, Shi Yan is methodically drawing comics.

"Teacher Shi, the ranking of "Killer Diary" has fallen to fifth."

"Oh."

Shi Yan didn't panic as Hook imagined, but replied very casually.

Well? What's going on? Personality changed?

Hook looked confused, and came to Shi Yan's side, only to find that Shi Yan's face was pale, but his expression was stable, and he felt like he was back to the light.

Wait a minute...... Back to light?

"Teacher Shi, we have to hurry up and come up with a good name." Hook said hurriedly.

"I'm thinking...... End "Diary of a Killer" as soon as possible. It's 300 words now, and there is no need to draw any more comics for such a long time. ”

Hook was instantly "petrified".

What do you mean? Doesn't Shi Yan want to paint anymore?

""Diary of a Killer" is on the air, the ratings are good, and the sales of comics, such as stationery and toys, are much higher than other comics, and the single book is okay. Moreover, ComicFuture also needs a comic book like Diary of a Killer for all ages. Why end? ”

"The kiwi king is no longer popular, and he must receive a boxed lunch. I can't think of any good ideas just yet. Besides, rookie cartoonists are too powerful, and I want to force them. ”

"Teacher Shi, didn't you tell your readers to move forward bravely when encountering difficulties? You can't do it yourself. ”

"Who wouldn't be able to speak cannons?" Shi Yan pouted.

"Newcomers have good momentum, but they often lack momentum. Even before "The Killer's Diary" is over, they may run out of energy. ”

Shi Yan suddenly turned his head to look at Hook, "You say they have no strength?" ”

"It should be...... Moreover, there will be competition between them as well. Teacher Shi, you have a chance to win against them. Hook patiently persuaded.

"Wait...... What if I designed two rival enemies that could work together against the main character? Shi Yan lowered his head and quickly drew a draft.

"You can think about it." Hook is accustomed to Shi Yan's whims, and what the story is, in the end, depends on the name.

"Well, the protagonists of the next story are none other than the Cactus Killer and the Sunflower Killer." Shi Yan laughed twice, and hurriedly covered his stomach, "No, my stomach hurts." ”

Hook rubbed his forehead, and Shi Yan returned to normal.
