Shang Haozhi rubbed his eyes and felt a sense of powerlessness.

If what Shen Xin said is true, then, "Comic Future" ...... No, print magazines are already at a big disadvantage compared to webtoons.

The low price is very attractive to readers, and using the Internet, cartoonists can also get close to readers, and at the same time, more readers can pay attention to their works.

Magazines seem to be at a disadvantage compared to the web.

"Since it's so advantageous...... Why didn't you accept Tong Yu's invitation? Shang Haozhi looked at Shen Xin suspiciously.

"There is a beginning and an end." Shen Xin explained, ""Steel Refining will not end in the next few years. Instead of worrying about me, you should care about other authors. ”

Shang Haozhi rubbed his chin and bowed slightly, "I see, thank you." ”

"This is the minimum of professional ethics, no need to thank me." Shen Xin waved his hand, "I hope that "Comic Future" can tide over the difficulties." ”

"Definitely." Shang Haozhi nodded, "Since Teacher Shen is okay here, then I will be relieved." By the way, there will be a color page next month, and when it is, wait for me to know. ”

"Thank you."

After Shang Haozhi learned of Shen Xin's attitude, he was not in the mood to stay here anymore.

The magazine still has a lot of things to deal with for him, and he must regain the assurance of other cartoonists, and at the same time, he has to face Toyo Shuo's next "offensive".

Wang Wenhong watched Shang Haozhi hurriedly go downstairs, looked back at Shen Xin, and opened his mouth, "During this period of time, I also have some things of my own, please give me a little more time......"

"Got it, I'm fine here, you can take care of your own business first, right?" Shen Xin nodded.

When the two of them left the studio, Xi Muhan looked at Shen Xin puzzled, "Brother Xin, what does Wang Wenhong mean?" ”

"What else could it mean? It's just that I've been too busy lately, and I've come here less often. However, the relationship between the editor in charge and the author should be like this, right? Shen Xin stretched, "Okay, let's start working too, right?" So many people suddenly came here today, and a lot of time was wasted. ”

"Yes."

Xi Muhan glanced out the window, the sun was setting in the west, and it was about to be evening in a blink of an eye.

After dinner, Shen Xin sent the last line draft of the day to Gao Hang, and then came to another workbench to draw the line draft of "God Descent".

After more than a week of drawing, the line drawing only designed a dozen sketches. This made Shen Xin feel that it was not easy to set up a character for the game.

In particular, the elaboration of European and American clothing and accessories, such as the casual clothes and armor of knights, the clothing of monarchs, and the clothing of ladies...... These contents are cumbersome and give him a headache.

Fortunately, with the help of Xi Muhan, this part of the drawing was able to go smoothly despite some difficulties.

Drafts were placed in the corner of the desk, page by page, and soon stacked on top of each other.

Xi Muhan sent off his assistant, turned off the lights downstairs, returned to the second floor, looked at Shen Xin, who was sitting in front of the drawing board, drawing line drawings, and said softly: "Brother Xin...... I rested first. ”

"Hmm."

"You also pay attention to rest......" Xi Muhan was a little worried.

"Got it." Shen Xin replied subconsciously, and the brush in his hand still slid quickly on the drawing paper.

Xi Muhan was not at ease, but seeing that Shen Xin's energy was on the drawing board, he didn't say anything.

After staying in the house for more than ten minutes, Xi Muhan really couldn't sleep, so he simply sat up, came to the study on the side, took a mythological book, and came to his workbench on the second floor.

"Why don't you sleep?" Shen Xin pulled out a sketch from the drawing board and put it to the side.

"You've worked so hard, and I can't be left behind." Xi Muhan bit his lip.

Shen Xin smiled at the corner of his mouth, did not speak, took out a blank piece of paper, and continued to paint.

……

After Shang Haozhi returned to the company, it was already evening.

The documents he pushed to the ground were picked up, and the broken notebook was also placed on the table.

At the time, he was just angry and shocked, but now that his mood has calmed down, he would rather not drop his laptop at that time - buying a new computer is still a trivial matter, the key is the data inside.

He could only spare time to deduct the computer's hard drive again.

The next day, when everyone in the editorial department arrived, Shang Haozhi told Jian Xiaomei and Hu Ke that they must keep abreast of the news of Ye Hexu and Shi Yan, and contact him for any trouble.

As for Haruka Tamagawa, he is actually the author of "Young Leap", so it is not so easy for Tong Yu to poach him.

During the break, Shang Haozhi accompanied Jia Hui to drink a cup of coffee and comforted him.

"Please tell Mr. Wang, I want to meet him in the near future."

"Huh?"

"Let's see if he's really made up his mind. As long as he doesn't sign a contract, there's room to maneuver. Moreover, "The Legend of the Dragon King" is also his masterpiece, and I hope to think in the long run and not end badly. ”

Jia Hui's mouth opened slightly, and finally bowed his head and said sorry.

Tong Yu ...... I beat him up too. If Mr. Wang insists on leaving, we have nothing to do. We can only try to minimize the damage caused by his departure, and we don't have time to be frustrated. Since someone looks down on us, then we have to prove it back. Shang Haozhi patted Jia Hui on the shoulder.

The atmosphere in the newsroom was subdued, and everyone knew that Comic Future was about to enter the "post-Dragon King" era, when the magazine's sales would decline, and it was almost a certainty.

To that end, each editor wants to do their part to help Comic Future.

Wang Wenhong has been paying attention to "Shengwu Academy", and he also knows the agreement that Fu Bo said - before June, "Shengwu Academy" became the most popular comic on the Internet - he also knows.

However, from the current point of view, this possibility is almost zero, although "Holy Martial Academy" is free, it is name after all, and this article alone has eliminated a large number of picture parties.

On the top of the list, they are all comics of such quality as "The Legend of the Dragon King", "Hunting Abyss", "Steel", and "Game". If "Shengwu Academy" is the original manuscript and completely free, there may be a chance to compete for first place.

However, it is not easy to break into the TOP20 in March.

The comics in front of "Shengwu Academy" are almost all the signboards of major magazines, and even if you move one more seat forward, it will be extremely difficult, let alone become the first place.

Yan Fei didn't understand why Wang Wenhong was so calm.

"Don't you want to sign 'Spiral'?"

"yes, but it's also a new model, and I wanted to see what it could be." Wang Wenhong said seriously.

"Are you stupid? When it really shows the potential of the fire, do you still need to dig it? Other magazines or companies have already done it. Now it's in the top 20, and believe it or not, there's definitely a company beating his idea. ”

Wang Wenhong nodded, "I admit that you are right, but it is not easy for other companies to sign him, this person's spirit is very high." ”

"How do you know?" Yan Fei was puzzled.

"I invited him, but he turned it down. Perhaps, the editor-in-chief has to come out. Wang Wenhong glanced at Shang Haozhi.

In the past, Shang Haozhi had been very busy, and only recently did he have a little free.
