Shang Haozhi turned around, but saw two people pushing the door in.

One was emaciated, with messy hair, looking sven, wearing a light-colored blazer and a thin dark gray sweater underneath. The other person had short broken hair, a Chinese face, an expressionless face, and was wearing a black coat.

These two people should be the deputy editor-in-chief and team leader mentioned by Murakami earlier.

Shang Haozhi and Wang Wenhong stood up, and after shaking hands with the two people who came in, the four of them sat down separately.

The three of Murakami carefully read the setting of "Steel Forge", but the two people who just came in had nothing to do but wait quietly.

This is more than ten minutes.

Yasuda Zhi took the lead in sitting up straight, pushed away the persona, and the two people who just came in took the persona over.

After nearly ten minutes, Murakami also handed the name to the two people who had just come in, and took the character from them.

The name of the first few episodes can only see the author's ability to control the previous plot, and the follow-up direction of the story still depends on the introduction of the character.

A good story is driven by people, and the reader will read it more naturally, if the plot is driven by events, the creator will deliberately create conditions in order to achieve a certain event, and the plot will appear stiff.

Therefore, from the subsequent fate of the characters, it should be possible to see the direction of the entire comic.

Murakami looked at the experiences of the dozens of characters who appeared, and roughly summarized the relationship between them.

At first glance, the relationship between the characters is not as close as expected, and the protagonist is not the focus of all events.

This means that the plot is likely to have other branches, through which the author connects the protagonist and other tasks.

Just looking at the character introduction, the protagonist has his own main line, that is, to restore himself and his younger brother. Skar is for revenge, and androids also have their own agendas.

These intricate networks of relationships intersect.

In order to recover his body, the protagonist needs the Philosopher's Stone. Scar wants to destroy the National Alchemist because his brother was killed by the National Alchemist.

The protagonist has no personal conflict with Scar, but Scar kills the national alchemist indiscriminately, and Edward, as the "Alchemist of Fullmetal", is naturally his enemy.

It is not known for the time being what the purpose of the androids is, but their existence has led to a large number of deaths of the Ishbars, so there is hatred between Skar, who is an Ishbar, and the androids.

If these plots can be smoothed out and clearly expressed through the brush, this comic may not be impossible to look forward to.

Kotani sat up straight and rubbed his eyes.

"How's the setting?" Murakami asked.

"See for yourself, right?" Kotani pushed the setting to Murakami, "Conservative estimate, it's better than the setting of "Shonen % or more." ”

Murakami's brows raised slightly, Xiao Tani could give such a high evaluation, which was indeed beyond his expectations.

The setting of "Steel" is more than "Works of more than teenagers? Doesn't that mean that this one could also be a pillar comic?

Murakami's attitude towards "Steel Chain" was immediately much more cautious.

"That ......" Murakami glanced at the other three people, they were all looking down at the setting, knowing that in a short time, there would be no results, so their eyes fell on Shang Haozhi, "Editor-in-chief Shang, do you have any conditions for your society?" ”

"Conditions? It's still the previous ones, your company has the income of the 11 district comics, and we take a commission from it. Shang Haozhi took a deep breath and slowed down his tone, "By the way, Mr. Shen also has his conditions. ”

"What?"

Murakami frowned slightly, and it was really rare for a manga artist to put forward a condition.

However, if "Shonen Leap" had such an author, he would probably also consider it.

"He determined the length of the comics, and the magazine could not interfere; Animation production company,At least at the level of Orochi.。。 This is a hard condition. Shang Haozhi explained.

"How hard?"

"These two conditions are the prerequisites for cooperation. If you agree to cooperate, you agree to these two conditions. ”

"You've given him too much power." Murakami frowned.

Shang Haozhi smiled slightly, "A magazine must have a trump card." Other cartoonists can also negotiate terms with me, but they must show the corresponding strength. Moreover, there is more than just ComicFuture in Huaxia, just as there are many excellent comic magazines in District 11. ”

Murakami was stunned, and Shang Haozhi obviously had something to say, especially the last sentence.

District 11 is more than just Shonen Leap...... What do you mean? Does he still have a spare?

Murakami's gaze involuntarily fell on the character, and the other editors also raised their heads and looked at Shang Haozhi in surprise.

For a time, the three of them became the focus of everyone.

Wang Wenhong suddenly felt dry mouth, glanced at the translator on the side, and saw that he was also nervous, only Shang Haozhi was always smiling, and seemed to be in his chest.

"That's right...... Murakami came back to his senses and rubbed his nose, "I'd love to give you an answer, but today is too short, so let's talk about it a little longer, and wait until tomorrow or the day after tomorrow, and then we'll tell you about the decision, how about it?" ”

Shang Haozhi heard the translation and nodded slightly, "When the time comes, will I contact you or ......?"

"I'm in touch with you...... As soon as possible. Murakami glanced at the other four again, but saw that they were hurriedly looking at the setting of "Steel Refining", and could only smile reluctantly, "Wait a while, wait for them to finish reading." ”

"We're in no hurry."

"Where are the three of you going to eat later?" Murakami asked again.

"Let's just find a place."

"There's a nice Huaxia restaurant nearby, why don't we go there for dinner?" Murakami proposed.

"Wait until this is over, right?" Shang Haozhi refused.

Murakami bowed slightly, "Then two more days." ”

After more than half an hour, several editors transferred the setting and name of "Steel Forge" to Shang Haozhi.

Manga and, unlike general goods, it has a strong reproducibility, and the content of the reproduction is exactly the same as the original product.

The setting and name that Shang Haozhi took this time are almost the main content of the early stage of "Steel Forge", once it is leaked, "Steel Forged" basically has no secrets at all, so Shang Haozhi has to be careful and cautious.

Wang Wenhong followed Shang Haozhi out of the building, and the pressure disappeared a lot.

Shang Haozhi glanced at Wang Wenhong, the corners of his mouth curled slightly, "You, you still need to exercise again." Mr. Shen has told you the bottom line, you should have confidence. ”

"Isn't this abroad? I was afraid of embarrassing Mr. Shen. Wang Wenhong touched his nose and smiled.

"What's there to be afraid of? Originally, I was also lacking in confidence. But after listening to Mr. Shen's reminder, I suddenly had confidence. ”

"Why?"

"When Mr. Shen painted "Chess Soul", he also made a few suggestions, right?"

"That's right."

"That's it. Whether it is the right to determine the length of the manga or the selection of an animation production company, the purpose is to ensure the quality of the entire manga. For this reason, he even did not hesitate to give up the market in District 11, which shows that he cares about this comic. This is similar to his attitude towards "Chess Soul". Whether a comic is popular or not is of course related to the market, but it also depends on how much confidence the author has in the comic. If Shonen Leap gives up, they'll definitely regret it. ”

Shang Haozhi exhaled and turned around to look at the building of "Shonen Leap".

I hope that your decision will not disappoint me and Mr. Shen.
