Chapter 1075: Weibo

Shang Haozhi saw Shen Xin post a long Weibo, and his heart chuckled.

The shorter other people's Weibo is, the bigger the matter. Shen Xin's Weibo is just the opposite, but all other long Weibo with an impression almost caused a lot of sensation at the time.

Seeing the long Weibo again, Shang Haozhi can only watch it hard.

I hope the tone is not too sharp, otherwise, it will not be good for both parties.

"I'm Shen Zheng, first of all, I apologize to all the readers who are looking forward to the animation of "SLAM DUNK", I'm sorry, the animation of "SLAM DUNK" has lived up to everyone's expectations, to be honest, I didn't expect this to be the case.

"After watching the first episode of the SLAM DUNK anime, my studio and I have been in contact with the people involved in District 11 and Shonen Leap. My idea is simple, the quality of the first season can't be changed, so in the second season, no matter what, we have to avoid this happening again. ”

"Unfortunately, I still mistakenly underestimated the feelings that people had for SLAM DUNK and the expectations for the anime. After the screening of the 13th episode tonight, everyone left a lot of messages on popot, Weibo, Manjia.com and other platforms, love, expectation, regret, and unwillingness to "SLAM DUNK...... A lot of emotion is woven into your words.

"YOU GUYS ARE REALLY A LOVELY BUNCH OF READERS WHO LOVE SLAM DUNK. In the face of you, I can't give an answer of 'the next season of animation will make everyone's eyes shine', guilt and unwillingness linger in my heart, but I can't do anything, I'm just a cartoonist, and the things I can control are really too limited.

"The word 'sorry' doesn't let me go, and I'm sure readers can't accept it. If it were possible, I would like to remake the anime of the first season, but is this possibility? I would say, very little, although it is very helpless, but this is the reality.

"It's better not to make an unsatisfactory animation than to make it.

"After thinking about it, I made a difficult decision. Until this matter is properly resolved, I will not agree to any re-animation of SLAM DUNK. In this regard, I apologize to all the readers who have supported SLAM DUNK, and I also apologize to the platform that has always supported me. This time, please forgive me for being willful.

"Also, "Young Exorcist" is a good manga, please don't lead the war. The decision I made had nothing to do with Teen Exorcist. ”

sprinkled with 500 words, the content of which has a different flavor in Shang Haozhi's opinion.

Weibo is full of "apologies", there is no reason to argue, some of them seem to shirk responsibility, but they are facts, and it is difficult for cartoonists to compete with the platform.

So, in addition to apologizing, this Weibo also gave readers a reason to sympathize with Shen Xin.

But as a high-level of Yishu culture, Shang Haozhi must not see only these.

The superficial meaning of long Weibo is literally described, and Shen Xin also feels that the quality of the animation is not good, but he is powerless to change it. He also didn't want to see the second season of the anime of similar quality, so he decided not to make future "SLAM DUNK" anime.

Even junior high school students should be able to read the meaning of the text.

Shang Haozhi is well aware that the target of this long Weibo post is not ordinary readers, but two magazines, "Comic Future" and "Young Leap".

As the top comic magazine in China, "Comic Future" was able to stabilize the magazine's sales without declining in the era of webtoons, largely because "SLAM DUNK" was so popular, with a total sales of more than 40 million copies of a single book and an average volume of more than 2 million copies, which was the only one in China, and other comics could not even see the taillights of "SD".

Such a top-brand comic, if you don't make animation, is simply slapping "Comic Future" in the face, so whether it is Yishu Culture or "Comic Future", you will definitely not agree with Shen Xin's Weibo. Moreover, the resulting losses, "Comic Future" does not want to bear, and is not willing to bear.

It is estimated that "Young Leap" also has this idea, and does not accept Shen Xin's Weibo.

But in this seemingly "apologetic" article, it is actually very skillful, or rather, Shen Xin has written the conditions for "SLAM DUNK" to continue to produce animation on Weibo - he is very dissatisfied with the first season, and if he wants to make a follow-up animation, he must remake the first season.

Is Shonen Leap likely to accept this condition?

Very little.

As the largest manga magazine in the 11th arrondissement, it is impossible to be swayed by a single manga artist.

So, will Comic Future be able to accept the animation of SLAM DUNK and stop there?

No way.

Without the promotion of animation, Comic Future would have made a lot less money.

Of course, the loss of the "SLAM DUNK" comic is equivalent to cutting a large piece of meat for "Comic Future", and although it hurts, it is not so painful.

But if "Comic Future" doesn't say anything, Shen Xin's next comic basically says goodbye to Yishu culture.

This is unacceptable to Shang Haozhi.

He can even be sure that if "Young Leap" doesn't give a satisfactory answer to Shen Xin, Shen Xin will definitely blacklist "Young Leap", and "Comic Future" is also at risk of being blocked.

In the age of webtoons, the role of platforms has been weakened - as long as there is a mobile phone, as long as there is an Internet, you can read comics anytime and anywhere, and magazines are no longer the only choice for cartoonists and readers.

Therefore, this Weibo seems to be Shen Xin's gambling with "Young Leap", and at a deeper level, it is a contest between "Comic Future" and "Young Leap", and for "Comic Future", this contest cannot be lost, otherwise, it will lose a lot of things.

"Lao Yu, what do you think of this Weibo?" Shang Haozhi asked.

"A blessing in misfortune." Yu Chen breathed a sigh of relief.

"Why?"

"Mr. Shen is not satisfied with the animation, and he didn't say that the publication will be closed. AT LEAST THE MAGAZINE IS FUNCTIONING, OTHERWISE, WHERE DO YOU ASK ME TO FIND A REPLACEMENT FOR SLAM DUNK? Yu Chen smiled bitterly, "The average volume of "SLAM DUNK" is more than the sum of the second to fifth places. ”

Shang Haozhi bowed his head, and Shen Xin did not confuse comics and animation, let alone tear his face with "Young Leap", indicating that there is still room for maneuver in things.

"Old Yu, is there anything wrong today?" Shang Haozhi looked at Yu Chen.

"Yes, go home and rest."

"Don't sleep tonight, come with me to find Teacher Shen, right? We have to put Mr. Shen's bottom line ...... No, it's a condition, find out. Shang Haozhi was halfway through his words, and quickly changed his words.

According to his contact with Shen Xin for such a long time, when Shen Xin talks about business, there is no bottom line at all, or in other words, his condition is the bottom line.

Either take a step back yourself, or you don't have to talk about it.

Therefore, he now has to figure out what Shen Xin's conditions are.

Hearing this, Yu Chen rubbed his forehead, "Let's go now?" Teacher Shen doesn't rest? ”

Shang Haozhi glanced at the time on his phone and said with a wry smile: "I guess, Mr. Shen is also waiting to talk to us, right?" ”

Yu Chen nodded, it is common for cartoonists to stay up all night, and the two sides should have a talk, so he had a phone call with Wang Wenhong.

At this interval, Shang Haozhi glanced at Weibo again, and the Weibo posted by Shen Xin just now was forwarded by many well-known comic critics. Among these people, he even saw popots, as well as multi-mangwang, which is not a big deal to watch dramas.

Although the two official micro-accounts did not express their opinions, reposting Weibo is equivalent to showing their attitude.

"Shonen Leap" ...... This time the opponent is a bit stronger.

Shang Haozhi scratched his head and sighed.
