Due to the impact of the "Zhen Xi Incident", after the Spring Festival, "Chess Soul" dropped two places to No. 6 in the first small book of "ComicFuture", while on "Young Leap", it rose one place to fifth place.

Shang Haozhi was a little surprised when he first saw this result. is also affected by the "Zhen Xi Incident", why is "Chess Soul" higher than "ComicFuture" in "Young Leap"?

Subsequently, Shang Haozhi learned the reason from Yokoi's mouth.

After this incident, some chess players in District 11 also paid attention to "Chess Soul", and after reading it, they gave "Chess Soul" a good evaluation.

Readers heard the explanations of the chess players, and most of their doubts about "Go" were alleviated, and at the same time, some people who did not know "Chess Soul" also knew "Chess Soul" through this incident, and after reading it, they were fascinated.

Hearing the explanation, Shang Haozhi also stared dryly, there was no way.

Although Zhen Xi is a child, Zhen Xi's father is the first person to play Go in China today, and if possible, they don't want to provoke Zhen Duo easily.

In addition, Go often appears in the following scenes.

As long as you have strength, you can even beat the ninth dan in the first dan.

They now support "Chess Soul", once they are defeated by Zhen Xi, it will really be a big shame.

If you want to eat in Huaxia, face is also very important.

Therefore, although some chess players do not agree with Zhen Xi's words, they will not say it directly.

It's not that you don't dare, it's not worth it.

As for Zhen Duo, life is not very easy.

After Zhen Xi came back, he stopped talking to him, and his wife complained to him more than once.

A week later, Zhen Xi moved out of the house and found a house near the chess courtyard. Zhen Duo knew that Zhen Xi needed to calm down, so he agreed to his request.

For this reason, his wife and Zhen Duo quarreled for a long time and almost filed for divorce.

In this case, the chess academy can't make a sound, after all, it's about the happiness of the family.

The popularity of "Chess Soul" in China has continued to be sluggish for half a month.

It wasn't until the last issue of the magazine in February that "Chess Soul" regained some popularity and returned to fifth place.

For this kind of unwarranted disaster, Shen Xin doesn't have much to do, life is unsatisfactory nine times out of ten, even him, it is impossible to have smooth sailing.

It was under this circumstance that the fourth volume of "Chess Soul" was released. In District 11, "Shonen Leap" launched a four-volume single book in one go, but considering the experience of introducing comics in the past, the first edition of each single book was only 50,000 copies.

On March 1, the fourth volume of "Chess Soul" was officially released.

In China, 70,000 copies were sold on the first day, while in District 11, more than half were sold on the first day.

The sales department hurriedly informed the editorial department of the sales on the first day, and at the same time contacted the printing house.

"Chess Soul" was reprinted twice in a row within a week before it stabilized the situation.

In China, under the influence of Zhen Xi, the fourth volume sold 380,000 copies in a single week, while the four books in District 11 sold nearly 800,000 copies in a single week.

When Murakami saw the report brought by the sales department, he was happy, and at the same time, he began to think about the animation of "Chess Soul".

Judging by the current trend, there is no need to wait until the end of March, and you can contact animation manufacturers to produce animations now.

Therefore, Murakami also released the rumor of animation production, he wanted to see which animation companies were interested in "Chess Soul", and then choose the best among them.

The animation company is also very concerned about such a popular animation as "Chess Soul", but the relevant copyright of "Chess Soul" is in the hands of "ComicFuture", and if they want to get the production rights, they must deal with "ComicFuture".

However, there are also a large number of animation companies in Huaxia, and these companies must also be eyeing "Chess Soul".

Subsequently, "Shonen Leap" broke the news that the animation of "Chess Soul" was jointly produced by Huaxia and the company in District 11, and the animation company in District 11 owned the animation market in District 11.

This news was released, which attracted the attention of many animation companies, and soon a plan was submitted to Murakami's desk.

It's certainly a good thing that there are animation companies willing to take over "Chess Soul", but Murakami is not very happy with these companies.

"ComicFuture" found Longyao Animation, and the company in District 11 should also have such strength.

Seeing that it was almost the end of March, Murakami still didn't see the animation company he wanted, so he was a little frustrated, and he was ready to choose the most reliable company from the submitted projects.

At this moment, a newly delivered plan was placed on Murakami's desk.

Murakami, who had just started work, saw the plan book on the table, his eyes lit up, he put down his briefcase, picked up the plan book casually, and quickly skimmed it.

"Yokoi ......"

"Huh?" Yokoi turned his head in confusion.

"Bring all the materials related to "Chess Soul" and go out with me."

"Huh? Oh. Yokoi immediately put the prepared materials into his briefcase and followed Murakami out of the editorial office, "Editor-in-chief, where are we going?" ”

“orochi。” Murakami asked rhetorically.

"The Great Snake?" Yokoi was surprised.

Orochi, also known as the Great Snake, is a legendary monster in Area 11, and in some games or animations, most of them appear as villains.

But in the animation industry, this company is not synonymous with villains, on the contrary, it is a very basic animation company, and the animation produced is of high quality and has high sales.

The only drawback of this company is that it produces too few works every year, so fame and strength are not directly proportional. However, even so, it is still one of the top five production companies in Tokyo.

If the terms can be negotiated with orochi, "ComicFuture" should not say much.

Yokoi took a deep breath and was co-produced by Orochi and Ryuyo...... What level should the animated version of "Chess Soul" be?

The addition of Orochi has completely deprived other animation companies of their chances.

After a full day of negotiations, Orochi and Toru Murakami reached an agreement on the business of District 11, and the next step was to go to Huaxia to negotiate with ComicFuture.

Shang Haozhi contacted Bao Jiyi as soon as he heard Yokoi tell him about it.

"Huh? orochi？ Come over next week? Bao Jiyi was a little surprised.

"Hmm. Bao Dong...... Is there a problem with Long Yao's side? Shang Haozhi said patiently.

"Long Yao? It should be fine, right? I'll ask first. Bao Jiyi hurriedly said.

Shang Haozhi sneered in his heart, and sure enough, as he guessed, Bao Jiyi had not yet contacted Long Yao.

Bao Jiyi immediately contacted Long Yao's general manager, but Long Yao's general manager politely refused.

"This is "Chess Soul", and it is a collaboration with Orochi. When it is made, it should be very popular. Bao Jiyi said seriously.

"Dong Bao, we also want to do "Chess Soul", but the company has problems with capital turnover now. In a short period of time, there is not much capital investment. General Manager Long Yao's tone was full of helplessness.
