After Wang Wenhong heard the news, he left the editorial office as soon as possible and couldn't wait to call Shen Xin.

"Teacher Shen, congratulations, "Chess Soul" is the first place in the 'Little Book'."

"Huh?" Shen Xin blinked, "Is it really the first place?" ”

He just said it casually, but he didn't expect it to become a reality.

"What are you lying to? "The Legend of the Dragon King" has been in the first place position for more than two months, and now you have surpassed it. Wang Wenhong said excitedly.

"Really? Hey...... Didn't I tell you before, I think "Chess Soul" can win the first place. ”

"Yes, yes, didn't I consider that "The Legend of the Dragon King" and "Hunting Abyss" are now popular, and I didn't dare to think about the first place?" Wang Wenhong rubbed his nose and smiled, "I finished drawing the line draft early today, and I'll invite you to dinner when I get back." ”

"Forget it, you still keep your salary to pay the rent, right? In the evening I please. ”

"Okay."

Gao Hang and Ma Ning raised their heads in confusion and looked at Shen Xin.

""Chess Soul" won the first place in "Little Book"." Shen Xin held on to the fence and gave a thumbs up.

"First place?" Ma Ning's mouth was wide open.

Of course he knows how difficult it is to get first place in "icfuture".

Even if it's a comic that has been cut in half, if it is placed in other magazines, it may even have good results.

After all, "icfuture" is the first issue of domestic comics, and the competition is too fierce.

Therefore, when a new serialized manga can beat "The Legend of the Dragon King" and become the first place in the first issue, any industry insider can predict its future - "Chess Soul" can at least become a popular comic.

Gao Hang clenched his fists confidently and raised them high, "Brother Xin, you did a really beautiful job." ”

"Okay, don't talk so much, hurry up and work today and eat together in the evening." Shen Xin waved his hand.

Gao Hang smiled, picked up the D pen, drew the background, Ma Ning took a deep breath, and it confirmed the original decision, observing the creation of "Chess Soul" on the spot, should be able to improve his strength.

"Chess Soul" won the first place, which made Wang Wenhong overjoyed, and other editors were also surprised.

Jian Xiaomei stared at the questionnaire for five minutes, and finally, stuffed the questionnaire into the folder, stood up depressedly, carried her handbag, and walked towards the door, but almost bumped into Wang Wenhong who was about to enter the house at the door.

The two glared at each other, one entering the house and the other going.

Jia Hui leaned on the back of the chair, also aimed at the ranking for a few minutes, and finally picked up the landline.

"Hey, I'm Wang Yunze."

"Oh, Mr. Wang, this time the 'little book' is out." Jia Hui said in a low voice.

"Didn't you say that you don't have to tell me about the 'little book'?" Wang Yunze was puzzled.

"The Legend of the Dragon King is ranked second." Jia Hui said patiently.

"Oh?" Wang Yunze stopped his pen and leaned back on his seat, "Was it surpassed by "Hunting Abyss"?" ”

Wang Yunze glanced at "icfuture" on the table, "Hunting the Abyss" is indeed okay, but the recent issues of "The Legend of the Dragon King" are not bad, and "The Legend of the Dragon King" has more readers than "The Hunting Abyss", and "The Legend of the Dragon King" should not be surpassed by "The Hunting Abyss".

"It's not...... It was "Chess Soul". ”

"Chess Soul?" Wang Yunze was slightly stunned, picked up "icfuture", quickly read "Chess Soul", and closed the magazine again, "I know." ”

"Don't you have doubts?"

"Nope. This issue should indeed be "Chess Soul". But in the next issue, I will still be number one. ”

Wang Yunze hung up the phone, watched "Chess Soul" carefully, and touched his beard, ""Chess Soul"? It's kind of interesting. ”

When Jian Xiaomei came to Ye Hexu's studio, Ye Hexu was squatting on the swivel chair, looking intently at the magazines on the table.

She took a deep breath, and after thinking about the words to persuade Ye Hexu, she took off his headphones and said patiently: "The 'little book' has come out." ”

"Hmm. "Chess Soul" is the first place, right? Ye Hexu asked rhetorically.

"You know?" Jian Xiaomei said in surprise.

The rhetoric I had just thought of instantly became nonsense.

"It's not hard to guess." Ye Hexu leaned back in his chair and put his hands behind his head, "The recent plots of "The Legend of the Dragon King" and "Hunting Abyss" are too tight, if a comic with acceptable quality and a relatively relaxed rhythm appears at this time, it will definitely be more attractive to readers." In other words, "Chess Soul" got the votes of those who didn't want to vote for "The Legend of the Dragon King" and "Hunting Abyss". ”

"So powerful?" Jian Xiaomei hadn't thought about it yet.

"Hmm. Of course, in addition to this, Zuowei also played a key role. Ye Hexu looked at Zuo Wei in the comics.

"It's true, and the magazine also thinks that Zuo designed this character very well and attracted a lot of female readers." Jian Xiaomei is also very optimistic about the role of "Zuo Wei".

"You only see the surface, you don't see the essence of this character."

"Huh?"

"Why do you think Mr. Shen set Zuo as this character? He can set up a Go genius without the need for 'Zuowei'. I think that such a manga will also produce results. ”

Jian Xiaomei rubbed her chin and fell into deep thought, Ye Hexu's statement was not wrong, but why didn't Shen Xin do it?

"Jin Tengguang is a novice in Go and doesn't understand anything. But there is Zuo Wei behind him, so he can use Zuo Wei to compete with Go masters. Did you think of anything? This is the opposite of ordinary mystery comics. ”

"Mystery comics?"

How did this run to mystery comics again?

Jian Xiaomei became more and more puzzled.

"In ordinary mystery comics, if the protagonist needs to solve the case, he will hide a key piece of evidence or clue. The protagonist, the murderer, and the reader, the reader is the one who lacks information. But the first episode of "Chess Soul" is reversed, the reader and the protagonist know about the existence of Zuo Wei, but the other characters don't. This equates the reader with the protagonist, i.e. ......"

"Sense of substitution!" Jian Xiaomei suddenly realized.

"That's right. Zuowei's existence becomes a secret between the reader and the protagonist. This comic ...... It's not simple. Ye Hexu sighed.

Jian Xiao's eyebrows raised, could it be that Shen Xin is going to draw an excellent comic again?

"So, let's take a look at the trend of "Chess Soul" for the time being, right? This kind of beginning, combined with the theme of Go, I always think it will be interesting. Ye Hexu stretched his muscles, "But then again, although "Chess Soul" is very good, now is not the time for it to produce results, and I will still hit the first place in the future." ”

Jian Xiaomei was slightly relieved to see that Ye Hexu was not affected by this issue of "Little Book".

As long as Ye Hexu is not discouraged, then "Hunting Abyss" is no problem.

The first episode of "Chess Soul" won the first place, which really made Wang Wenhong overjoyed.

As the serialization continues, the "little book" of the second, third and fourth chapters of "Chess Soul" is ranked 2nd, 4th and 4th respectively, and the results of "Chess Soul" in "ICFUTURE" can be regarded as stable.

As a newly serialized manga, stable grades are the most important thing.

As for competing for the ranking with "The Legend of the Dragon King" and "Hunting Abyss", Wang Wenhong has not thought about it for the time being. The serialization of "Chess Soul" is still short, and the popularity has not gathered, and it is estimated that it will take several months to compete for the first place.
