Chapter 210: Two Editors
Wang Wenhong is not in a hurry, and Shen Xin is even less anxious.
The length of "Chess Soul" may not be too long compared to "Death, Fire, and Sea", but 189 chapters is also not a short length.
Shen Xin knows very well that the biggest selling point of this comic is not the cuteness of Zuo Wei at the beginning, or Hikaru Shinto's "pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger" - although in the first few words, this effect is really good, such as defeating Taya Liang, which makes readers addicted - in the middle of the comic, to be precise, it was after Hikaru Shinto became a student that "Chess Soul" slowly ushered in its high. tide, and reached its peak in Zuowei disappearing. And the subsequent Beidou Cup also usually attracts the attention of readers.
In addition to the gradual improvement of the plot, Shen Xin's other killer feature worth relying on is animation.
Unlike "Y's", "Chess Soul" can be broadcast in prime time and can be watched by people of all ages, and at the same time, "Chess Soul" has a high rating in District 11 and is also one of the most popular comics in that year.
What Shen Xin has to do is to draw every storyboard, not only to imitate, but also to think about the name that needs to be changed in a large area later. As long as these are done, "Chess Soul" will definitely have good results.
As the manga progresses, readers of Chess Soul also discover how this manga is different from other manga.
In the second episode of "Chess Soul", Jin Tengguang defeated Shi Liang, and many readers felt extremely enjoyed.
At this moment, most readers substituted Xiaoguang, and when Xiaoguang defeated Shi Liang with a "genius" aura, their hearts were also satisfied.
However, they soon discover that the story of "Chess Soul" is not what they thought.
Shi Liang is not dispensable, a supporting role that allows Xiaoguang to 'slap his face', his serious, focused, and easy-going personality makes every reader can't hate it.
"I can't understand the character of Shi Liang, isn't his appearance to make Xiaoguang 'slap in the face'?"
"At first glance, I thought the same way in the second episode, but in the fourth episode, I felt that kind of thinking was too naΓ―ve. Compared with Xiaoguang's statement of 'just take one or two championships', I am more on Xiaoliang's side. β
"Yes, to be a professional chess player, you have to work a lot of hard work, not only talent, but also patience, hard work and luck, but even then, you have to pass the fixed stage. What Xiaoguang said was really sad. β
"And in the 8th episode, the father of He Tetsuo (Kaga Tetsuo) told him that if he couldn't defeat Shi Liang, he wouldn't be able to go home. Shi Liang said to Tie Nan, 'Is it okay to lose to you?', which is really gentle. To be her boyfriend, she must be very happy. β
"Ahem, Shi Liang is a boy, not a girl."
"Huh? Really? β
"Are you so careless? In the second word, Mr. Shen wrote out, he is the son of Shi Xingyang. See, 'son', it's a boy! β
"No, Xiaoguang and Xiaoliang held hands in the fifth episode, and now you tell me, Xiaoliang is a boy? Wait, I'm going to take a break. β
β¦β¦
The discussion of "Chess Soul" on the Internet is in full swing, and so far, everyone's discussion of the comics is more focused on the characters, especially Shi Liang, Jin Tengguang and Zuo Wei, the three people have distinct personalities, and their style of doing things is also very in line with their own characteristics, so they have their own fans.
The results of "Chess Soul" have also been hovering around the fourth place, and the results are relatively stable.
I haven't published a single book yet.,And because it's only published 10 words.,There's no way to make it into an animation.,That's a pretty good result.γ
You know, behind "Chess Soul", there are several animations of works being released.
If animation can be made, "Chess Soul" may not be a hit.
Wang Wenhong has been mixed recently, but he is happy that "Chess Soul" has achieved remarkable results, but he is worried...... Alas, there is a knot in the heart.
Unconsciously, Wang Wenhong came to Jiman.
Some time ago, "ComicFuture" wanted to promote "Chess Soul", and Wang Wenhong also took these opportunities to ask the bookstore owner about the recent situation of "Chess Soul".
"I didn't expect a comic related to Go to be liked by so many readers...... By the way, Wang Bian, there is one thing I want to ask you. β
"Huh?" Wang Wenhong looked at the store manager puzzled.
"Posters, can you ask the magazine to send some more posters?"
Wang Wenhong shook his head again and again, "No, there are no posters in the magazine." Why don't you wait for a single book? β
"A single book? When will that be? "The store manager was a little embarrassed.
"I don't know, it's coming soon, right? I estimate around August. Wang Wenhong speculated.
Based on past experience, in order to cooperate with the publicity, it is likely to give a color page or the title page of a magazine.
"When the time comes, will Mr. Shen come to sign and sell books?"
"Probably not."
Seeing the store manager's depressed face, Wang Wenhong also felt regretful, but now Shen Xin is just drawing the original manuscript, and he has to be busy until late at night every day, and he can't pull away at all.
Although the current achievements of "Chess Soul" have a lot to do with the story and character shaping of "Chess Soul", it is also inseparable from the high-quality picture.
The store manager sighed again and again, Wang Wenhong laughed dryly, and walked around the stall of "ComicFuture".
Just as he was about to leave the bookstore, he stumbled upon an advertisement at the MangaFly stall.
Driven by curiosity, Wang Wenhong walked over, but saw that on both sides of the booth of "MangaFly", a billboard was erected, a basketball anime character posed as a dribble, and the staff was stepping on a ladder, and various small flags printed with anime characters were hung on the top of the bookshelf.
A young woman in a suit, directing while delivering tools.
"Yan Fei?" Wang Wenhong couldn't help but scream when he saw the woman's appearance.
Yan Fei froze for a moment, then turned his head and looked at Wang Wenhong, "Why are you here?" β
Wang Wenhong was about to answer, but when he saw Yan Fei turn his head and continue to direct the staff to place the small flag, he felt bored, and his eyes swept to the billboard again.
""Youth Leap" and "MangaFly" were serialized simultaneously, and the best newcomer of the year in District 11, Haruka Tamagawa, was a powerful work, "Slam Dunk", July 20, everyone will see you and leave."
Wang Wenhong read the content of the advertisement, frowning slightly.
Needless to say, this "Slam Dunk" should be "MangaFly", the main manga for the next period of time.
This cartoonist named Haruka Tamagawa is the same as Shen Xin, both are newcomers, but the regions where they won awards are different, and both of them are also sports-oriented, but compared with Go, basketball is obviously more popular.
Wang Wenhong had a vague feeling in his heart.
The staff got down the ladder, Yan Fei thanked the staff, and then turned around and saw Wang Wenhong, and said in surprise: "Why are you still here?" β
Wang Wenhong glanced at Yan Fei angrily, "Look at your advertisement, can't you?" β
"Of course you can, how about it, Mr. Tamagawa's painting skills are okay, right?" Yan Fei straddled the bag over her shoulder.
"It's not as good as 'Chess Soul'." Wang Wenhong showed no weakness.
"You'll have to try it to find out." Yan Fei pursed her lips, feeling a little uncomfortable.
At this time last year, she was Shen Xin's editor, but now she has been replaced by Wang Wenhong.
"Interested in a drink?"
"There is no good wine."
"I have something to ask you. It has nothing to do with you, but it has to do with me and Teacher Shen. Wang Wenhong said depressedly.
"Huh?" Yan Fei's eyelids jumped twice, not knowing what Wang Wenhong meant.
