Chapter 627: Method

Now, "Steel Forge" is serialized in chapter 137 "The Form of Man, the Form of Stone", in which Hoinheim and Edward's master Izmi tell his heart - he is the stone of a walking philosopher.

Counting this sentence, "Steel Forged" is still not enough for a single book, and "Steel Forged" has a total of 27 volumes, that is, there are at least 65 chapters of "Steel Forged" that have not been drawn.

It's just June now.,Two more months off.,It's August to start serializing.,A year later.,That is, until August next year.,Up to 50 chapters or so...... Roughly calculated, the manga will definitely be caught up, and it doesn't matter how much original plot you add.

Shen Xin roughly calculated it, and knew that according to the current progress, it was a sure thing to be caught up.

Black handwriting, painted three times on "65", finally stopped.

"If it goes at the current rate, "Steel" will not be completed until November next year at the earliest." Shen Xin put down the pen and looked at the other three.

Yan Fei frowned slightly, and after translating Shen Xin's words into Japanese, Zhuang Si Yuye's expression also became solemn.

From April to November, this is half a year, and it takes a half year to fill it before it can be received.

If it is divided into another season, it is not cost-effective in terms of time, because in another half a year, "Steel" will be over, and the animation will also use the popularity of the comics to sell BD. Besides, if you divide the rest of the content into two more seasons...... Who knows when the third season will be released? It is also possible to drag it out for a year and a half.

As for...... Original plot?

Others really can't figure out the plot of "Steel Forge", so they told Shen Xin that no one can guarantee that the original plot will not conflict with the comics in terms of setting.

"Is it okay to compress the plot? Compress the content of "Steel Forge" to end before April next year? Shoji Uno put forward his own idea.

"Impossible!"

After hearing the translation, Shang Haozhi shook his head again and again.

The biggest pillar of "Comic Future" now is "Steel". When Shen Xin said that "Steel Refining" would end around November next year, his heart tightened.

What this means, he knows better than anyone. By November next year, if "Comic Future" can't find a manga that can replace "Steelcore", "Comic Future" will definitely be surpassed by Duoman.com.

Now, Shoji Uno proposes to compress the plot of "Steel Forge" and end it half a year early...... Isn't that going to kill him?

Strongly disagree.

Shang Haozhi's attitude was very resolute.

Shen Xin didn't plan to compress the plot of "Steel Refining", in fact, Aunt Niu was a little sloppy when dealing with the finale, after all, the words of the duel with "Father" are amazingly long, if you pursue the ultimate rationality, it is really difficult, and because of this, in the end, the first battle has the passion that a hot-blooded comic should have.

If the content is compressed, in fact, the plot is likely to collapse.

He didn't allow that to happen.

Shen Xin looked at the blank paper in front of him and wrote a "/2" on it.

65/2, which is equal to 32.5, rounded off, merging the two words into one, and there are 33 words left in "Steel Chain".

"Steel Forge" was originally a monthly magazine, and for the sake of the weekly update, I split the 1 word in "Steel Forged" into 2 words.

If this happens, "Steel" should be finished by April next year, but on average, 40 to 45 pages of original manuscripts a week, will you be able to handle it?

Shen Xin leaned back in his chair and seriously recalled the state he was in when he drew the comics, uh...... It should be held for more than half a year, and there is no big problem.

He can ask Wang Wenhong to help him find two more assistants, and things that have nothing to do with comics can also be handed over to Wang Wenhong to deal with, so thinking about it, he can really try it...... No, he had to do that in order not to degrade the quality of Steelcraft.

But there are difficulties with this approach – the problem is not with him, but with Comic Future.

The length of a magazine is a certain amount, and "Steel Forged" draws 40 pages a week, which means that there is a manga that cannot be serialized.

Does Comic Future agree? Does Shang Haozhi agree?

This is also ambiguous.

After the others watched Shen Xin draw a few strokes on the paper, their expressions changed twice, and they didn't know why.

"What's wrong? Do you have any ideas? Teacher Shen? Shang Haozhi asked.

"It's not okay to compress the plot. If I compress the plot, the quality of "Steel" will definitely decline, and I don't want to do that. Later, I thought about it, and it was not without a solution. Shen Xin took a deep breath and looked at Shang Haozhi.

"What's the solution?" Shang Haozhi was puzzled.

"I might need the help of the magazine." Shen Xin said in a deep voice.

"Tell me about it."

"In the next period of time, lengthening the length of each sentence of "Steel Refining", from the current more than 20 pages to more than 40 pages, should be able to be completed in more than half a year." Shen Xin stared at Shang Haozhi.

"Isn't it too tired for your body...... The stomach, in particular, needs to be recuperated. Yan Fei hurriedly said that she will be Shen Xin's editor-in-charge in the future, and she must pay attention to Shen Xin's health.

"I know. However, in the last two months, I don't have anything else to do, I can take advantage of this time, compile the name behind well, and then find two assistants, it should be no problem, it's only half a year, but it's "Comic Future", I don't know if there will be enough space left for me. Shen Xin and Shang Haozhi looked at each other.

Shang Haozhi didn't expect Shen Xin to do this, and sweat flowed from his forehead.

The doubling of the length of "Steel Forge" is certainly a good thing for "Comic Future", especially in the context of the collective decline of domestic magazines, but Shen Xin's words also conveyed another signal - "Steel Forged" is about to end.

If there isn't another manga to succeed Steelforge before then, Comic Future is in jeopardy.

After Zhuang Si Yuye knew Shen Xin's words, he also asked Yan Fei to take out a piece of paper, he hastily drew two pages on the paper, and then looked up at Shang Haozhi, "If Mr. Shen can ensure the quality of the comics, I think it's no problem, 160 pages of original manuscripts a month, it shouldn't be interrupted by the animation." ”

"In this case......" Shang Haozhi looked at Shen Xin with some embarrassment, "In principle, no problem, now "Comic Future" also has its own app, as long as you put a serial on the app......"

Speaking of which, Shang Haozhi is a little confused, so far, how to make the app more competitive, there is still no clear plan, and now the magazine and the app are facing the impact of the D version, everything is unfavorable.

"Then do this?" Shen Xin asked tentatively.

"I still have two questions." Shang Haozhi knocked on the table twice, "After the end of "Steel Forge", what are Mr. Shen's plans?" When will your next manga come out? ”

Although Shang Haozhi doesn't want to admit it, "Comic Future" relies on Shen Xin far more than Wang Yunze at the beginning.

Shen Xin was stunned, he didn't expect Shang Haozhi to lead the topic to the next comic.

"I want to rest for a while......" Shen Xin paid attention to Shang Haozhi's expression, and when he saw that his face turned cold, he changed his painting style, "However, I'm not sure, if I have a good idea, it's not impossible for the two comics to be connected...... It's still early, and I can't give a definitive answer. But at that time, Mr. Ye's new work should have come out, right? ”

Hearing Ye Hexu, Shang Haozhi also nodded, and his face softened a lot.

Also, "Comic Future" is not only a cartoonist Shen Xin, but also Ye Hexu in the magazine?

Set a small goal first, such as remembering in 1 second: book guest residence
