After entering the house, Shen Xin greeted the two people, Wang Wenhong found a place to put the fruit away, and Shang Haozhi raised a bottle of liquor and said with a smile: "I brought good things." ”

"Don't drink." Shen Xin shook his head.

"Hey, it's not interesting." Shang Haozhi pursed his lips, "Xiao Wang, let's drink." ”

Wang Wenhong shook his head and smiled bitterly, "Mr. Shang, I have already said that after the annual meeting, I will quit drinking." You really can't drink it white. ”

After getting drunk last time, he troubled Shen Xin, and Wang Wenhong naturally had a lot of heart.

"Okay? But I can't drink juice, can I? Shang Haozhi said helplessly.

"You can also drink 'Fat House Happy Water'." Shen Xin said with a smile.

"Huh? What is Happy Water? Wang Wenhong was puzzled.

"Coke."

“……”

No one accompanied Shang Haozhi to drink, so Shang Haozhi had a drink by himself.

At the last annual meeting, he didn't dare to drink because he had to drive. With Wang Wenhong driving today, he has no scruples.

Xi Muhan went back to the house and heated the fish soup and served it on the table again.

The rich fragrance, along the rising heat, entered Shang Haozhi's nostrils and immediately whetted his appetite.

"It smells so good."

"My sister's craftsmanship, that's not to say." Shen Xin heard his sister being praised, and he felt an indescribable joy in his heart, "By the way, Mr. Shang, why do you have time to come to me today?" ”

"Just now, we were in the car, discussing where to eat. You just made a phone call and came over for dinner. Shang Haozhi smiled.

"Still busy?"

Since Wang Wenhong and Shang Haozhi are together, they must be discussing the matter of "Chess Soul".

"Well, we have a holiday, but District 11 is not a holiday. And the more well-known comics of our magazine have been introduced to District 11, so you can't work overtime. Shang Haozhi sighed.

"Mr. Shang and Brother Wang have worked hard." Shen Xin sighed again and again.

"What's hard work? Also, everyone's results have improved, and I'm very happy. Shang Haozhi smiled, ""Chess Soul" only used two words, and directly gained a foothold in District 11, which is indeed rare. Before coming, Murakami was still praising "Chess Soul"? ”

"I'll be proud if you say that."

"You dare-" Shang Haozhi glared at Shen Xin, and then showed a wry smile, "Please, don't be like this, the foundation of "Chess Soul" is good now?" Don't let up. This comic may be a big hit in Huaxia and District 11. ”

"I'm just kidding."

"Don't make this kind of joke, I'm not sure I'll take it seriously." Shang Haozhi waved his hand again and again.

"By the way, Mr. Shang, I want to ask you something." Shen Xin saw that Shang Haozhi was quite serious, so he quickly changed the topic.

"What's the matter?" Shang Haozhi's attention was really drawn to the past.

"When will Chess Soul be able to be animated?" Shen Xin looked directly at Shang Haozhi.

"What are you asking about this?" Shang Haozhi looked at Shen Xin puzzled.

"Didn't I make a bet with Bao Dong? "Chess Soul" will win the first place in "ComicFuture" for three consecutive months. My biggest rival should be "The Legend of the Dragon King", followed by "Diary of a Killer" and "Hunting the Abyss".

"To be honest, if it's just one or two issues or a month of first place, I can design a high plot high. tide, by comics to the top, but three months ...... I'm not confident. Moreover, "The Legend of the Dragon King" should also be made into animation, or even movies or games. In this way, "Chess Soul" has no chance at all. ”

Shang Haozhi put down his wine glass and looked at Shen Xin with a serious face.

"I see. However, for magazines, the biggest purpose of animation is to sell books. As long as there are animation companies willing to buy, we will definitely sell. There is no doubt about it. Moreover, we also have certain standards for animation companies, especially for works like "Chess Soul", at least Yingyin, however, I can't guarantee when it will be produced. ”

"Why?" Shen Xin was surprised.

Wang Wenhong knew a little about the animation production of "Chess Soul", so he said: "This matter is related to ......"

"There's a lot of work going on here." Shang Haozhi hurriedly interrupted Wang Wenhong's words, and glared at him again, "So, please wait a moment, I will also actively contact." ”

Wang Wenhong opened his mouth, and Shang Haozhi knew what he wanted to say.

But it's not that simple.

That day, Bao Jiyi had been "painting cakes", and the promises he said were all false. Which companies produced "Chess Soul" actually depends on how District 11 acts.

didn't tell Shen Xin, not because these are confidential, but because this matter is full of too many variables.

In case the final result does not meet expectations, it will definitely be a big blow to Shen Xin.

"That's right." Shen Xin was a little disappointed.

"But it should be fast, there will be news in April or May, you just have to listen to it then." Shang Haozhi saw Shen Xin's lost look, and also said a more reliable information.

If "Shonen Leap" does not agree to cooperate, "ComicFuture" will have to find its own production company, and there will be news in April or May.

"Okay. I'll leave it to you anyway. Shen Xin nodded.

"Speaking of "Chess Soul", there is one thing, I don't know if you are interested?" Shang Haozhi asked.

"What's the matter?"

"Go competition."

"Don't make a fuss. It's all the New Year, how can there be a Go game to watch? Shen Xin waved his hand again and again.

"Look, you don't know that, do you? The Chinese New Year is not in China, but not abroad. On the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, there was a U16 Go individual final, which was broadcast live on Hongchuan Sports Channel, and Xie Shiqi was invited to serve as a commentary teacher...... She didn't tell you? ”

"Huh? It seems to have been said. But she didn't say it was the final. Who's against whom? Shen Xin hurriedly asked.

"I don't know yet. There is Zhen Xi's kid. Moreover, it seems that he is still the favorite to win the championship. Shang Haozhi rubbed his chin and said.

"Really? That's interesting. ”

Shen Xin immediately had the spirit, although he didn't understand Go very well, but if Huaxia could win the championship, he was still very happy.

"Then go and take a look, in the broadcast hall of the TV station, I will look for you on the fifth day of the new year." Shang Haozhi said with a smile.

"Mr. Shang, do you have a camera? I'd like to go over and take more pictures. Shen Xin explained.

"No problem. However, you should switch to a smartphone, right? Now the photos taken by the mobile phone are also good. Shang Haozhi asked.

Also.

Shen Xin nodded.

Although paper magazines are still the main battlefield of comics, sooner or later, the battlefield will be transferred to mobile apps.

With the development of technology, portability will become more important to readers.

"Speaking of photos, I suddenly remembered one more thing." Shen Xin rubbed his hands.

"Huh?"

Shang Haozhi and Wang Wenhong looked at Shen Xin in unison.

"In the later stages of this comic, it is estimated that it will involve the chess academy of District 11 and Han Kingdom. Can you contact Yokoi and ask him to help take a picture of the 11th District Chess Academy? Shen Xin asked.

"Uh......"

Shang Haozhi suddenly felt a little dry in his throat.

"No, Mr. Shen, can you tell me how big this story will be? Why don't you pay attention to it, not only involving Huaxia Go, but also involving District 11 and Han National Chess Academy? ”

"This ...... It's not that big, just a little bit involved. Shen Xin gestured the size of a finger.
