Chapter 319: Finished or Not
The resurgence of "Chess Soul" has aroused heated discussions in the editorial department of "ComicFuture".
In the previous chapters, Xiaoguang also played against others, such as in the episode "Xiaoguang vs Xiaoliang", the wonderful game between the two ignited the reader's enthusiasm for "Chess Soul", and for example, the game between Xiaoguang and Hong Xiuying also attracted the attention of Go lovers.
However, no matter which game it is, the level of tension is not as good as this one.
"I'm supposed to be the difference caused by the difference in attention." Jia Hui put forward his own opinions.
"Huh?"
Different levels of attention?
The other editors were confused.
In fact, not only I think so, but even Mr. Wang Yunze agrees with this point of view. In all the games before Xiaoguang, there was only one game that surpassed this one, that is, the confrontation between Xiaoguang and Shi Xingyang. However, the reader knows that Xiao Guang will never win that game, and the person who plays chess with Shi Xingyang is not Xiao Guang, but Zuo Wei.
This is different, Xiaoguang played against Du Qingchun, which attracted the attention of people like Kuraba (Kurata) 6 duan, Shi Liang, Du Bian (Watanabe) 8 duan, as well as Yue Zhi and Gao Yi. This kind of attention is a recognition of Xiaoguang. The reader's heart is also greatly satisfied. ”
The other editors nodded slightly, they knew that this should be Wang Yunze's point of view, and Jia Hui added some of his own understanding at most.
"There is another point, Mr. Wang may not be aware of it." Jian Xiaomei suddenly spoke.
"What's the point of view?" Jia Hui frowned slightly, and looked at Jian Xiaomei in confusion.
"Contrast!"
"Huh? Contrast? Xu Jie was surprised.
Jian Xiaomei's words really exceeded his expectations.
"That's right, it's the game between Gao Yi and Yue Zhi, which contrasts with the game between Xiaoguang and Du Qingchun. The reader is very clear about the strength of Gao Yi and Yue Zhi, and the game between the two of them should be regarded as a master's move. However, Go masters like Kurahata, Shi Liang, and Du Bian turned a blind eye to the competition between the two of them, and focused all their energy on the game between Xiaoguang and Du Qingchun, which raised the quality of the game between Xiaoguang and Du Qingchun from the side, and also focused the reader's attention on the game between the two."
After Xu Jie heard this, he also nodded again and again, "That's right." The quality of Xiaoguang and Du Qingchun's chess game is higher than that of Yue Zhi, which also reflects that Du Qingchun's strength is higher than that of Yue Zhi and Gao Yi, and the outcome of the game with Xiao Guang is unpredictable, coupled with the attention of other chess players, which confirms that Du Qingchun is not an idle person. The atmosphere of these words suddenly became tense. ”
Shang Haozhi crossed his fingers and looked at the editor in the discussion, the corners of his mouth slightly raised.
Sometimes, such a discussion is necessary.
Wang Yunze and Ye Hexu can become the top cartoonists in China, not only because they have outstanding strength, but also because they have insight that other cartoonists do not have, and after perceiving the advantages of other cartoons, they can absorb them into their own comics......
Just when everyone was discussing, Wang Wenhong took the original manuscript, gasped for breath, and entered the editorial office.
"The next word came out?" Hook asked.
"Hmm."
Wang Wenhong smiled reluctantly, took a deep breath, walked quickly in front of Shang Haozhi, and handed him the envelope containing the original manuscript.
Shang Haozhi took out the original manuscript and glanced at the title, "Shouldering the expectations of the public? Not bad. Having said that, in recent weeks, Mr. Shen's update speed has been a bit fast. ”
"Yes." Wang Wenhong rubbed his hands and looked at Shang Haozhi with a little entanglement, "Mr. Shang ......"
"Huh? Something? Shang Haozhi did not look up, but continued to look down at the original manuscript of "Chess Soul".
"That's the case, Mr. Shen said...... "Chess Soul" ended after the 'Beidou Cup'." Wang Wenhong struggled again and again, but still said this sentence.
"What!?" Shang Haozhi raised his head and looked at Wang Wenhong in surprise, "The end?" ”
The editors, who were still discussing in a whisper just now, also quieted down and looked at Wang Wenhong in surprise.
Hook slapped the table and got up, please go into the high convex.
"What a joke! If you say that "Chess Soul" ended at the end of last year, I can still understand it, after all, at that time, the results of "Chess Soul" were a mess, but now, "Beidou Cup" is about to start serialization, and readers also have high expectations for "Chess Soul", you tell me that it will end now? ”
"That's right, I think Mr. Shen's consideration was too hasty. "Chess Soul" is only more than 160 words now, do you know what that means? "The Legend of the Dragon King" has more than 700 words now, and "Hunting Abyss" has nearly 300 words, which shows that "Chess Soul" still has a lot of potential to be tapped! Jian Xiaomei said seriously.
"Xiao Wang, you also know the significance of "Chess Soul" to the magazine now, a signature comic, it is impossible to end it casually...... Long Yao and Orochi may be working on a third season soon, and Yuzhen Technology is also working on the game "Chess Soul...... If "Chess Soul" ends now, how can the interests of these companies be guaranteed? Jia Hui said in a deep voice.
Wang Wenhong frowned slightly, but still patiently explained: "Team leader, everyone, my heart is even more depressed than you, because I am the editor in charge of "Chess Soul". However, no one should know "Chess Soul" better than Mr. Shen. When this comic will reach the climax, when it will reach the trough, and when it will end, Mr. Shen has his own plan. As an editor, I respect Mr. Shen's decision. ”
"But that can't be, he can do whatever he wants, right? If other manga artists think the same way, what about the magazine? ”
A crisp voice came from the corner of the editorial office.
Wang Wenhong turned his head to look and found that the person who spoke was Zeng Yue, the deputy editor-in-chief.
"Deputy editor-in-chief, there is an item in Mr. Shen's contract, when "Chess Soul" will end, it is up to him to decide, you may not know, right?"
Zeng Yue was stunned, he really didn't know about this matter.
The other editors also looked at Shang Haozhi with a look of surprise.
How could there be such a clause in the contract? Wang Yunze does not necessarily have such power.
Shang Haozhi looked at Wang Wenhong, "That's right, there is such a thing." I thought that "Chess Soul" would end in more than 200 words, but I didn't expect it to be so soon...... When will the painting be finished? ”
"By the end of the year, he will finish all the manuscripts."
"Then the next comic, and the contract ......"
"Contract...... He said that he didn't have the idea of a comic for the time being, and the contract was not in a hurry, so he would sign it when the next comic came out. Wang Wenhong explained.
"There's never been anything like this in ComicFuture." Zeng Yue stood up from his seat, "It's our author, then hurry up and sign the contract." What's the matter with him hanging us like this? ”
The other editors also nodded their heads again and again, as Zeng Yue once said, if any cartoonist is like Shen Xin, "ComicFuture" will be messed up.
Wang Wenhong did not speak, but looked at Shang Haozhi.
Shang Haozhi pondered for a moment, then said to Wang Wenhong: "You make an appointment, I want to talk to Teacher Shen." ”
"Okay."
Wang Wenhong nodded.
