When the wine and food were served, Wang Wenhong took the wine jug, filled the wine cup for the four people, and then sat back in his seat.

The four of them raised their glasses and touched them, and drank them all.

Wang Wenhong filled the wine again, and Tachibana raised his glass, "Teacher Shen, there were some misunderstandings between us at the beginning, which led to some minor problems in cooperation. Fortunately, the misunderstanding was quickly cleared up, and SLAM DUNK took it one step further. The cause of this incident is me, and I apologize to Mr. Shen. ”

Stretching out his hand not to hit the smiling person, since the Tachibana Gentry took the initiative to take responsibility, if Shen Xin pursued it again, it would be too stingy, so he raised the wine cup and drank it with the Tachibana Squire again.

Two glasses of wine in a row, not to mention writing off the previous matter, but at least for a short time, Shen Xin will not mention this matter again.

"Teacher Shen was able to accept our invitation, which we didn't expect." Toru Murakami took over.

"Uh...... I've been busy with "SLAM DUNK" before. After all, at the beginning of the comic, if the attention is too distracted, it will indeed affect the results. Shen Xin chuckled.

"Yes. Recently, the results of "SLAM DUNK" have also stabilized, which is good. Murakami took another sip of wine, frowning slightly, but his eyes glanced at Tachibana Sentry.

"Ahem...... That's right, I've heard Mr. Shen say that the reason why the production of "SLAM DUNK" was delayed until the year before last is because if the animation project was started the year before last, the end time of the manga of "SLAM DUNK" would be about the same as the end of the animation...... I wonder if Mr. Shen has changed his mind now? AFTER ALL, SLAM DUNK HAS SUCH A GREAT RESULT...... If it is serialized for another four or five years, it may not be able to surpass "The Gate of Eternal Life". Tachibana Gentry coughed lightly and said what he meant with a little hesitation.

After Wang Wenhong translated Tachibana Gentry's words, his eyes also fell on Shen Xin.

The length of the score and the length of the comic has always been a matter that cartoonists are entangled in, and even sometimes, the initiative is not in the hands of the cartoonist, but in the hands of the magazine.

Magazines, especially large comic magazines like "Shonen Leap", which have a contract exclusive system, have far more power to be editors than ordinary people imagine, and even authors who have already made some achievements are still uncertain about everything when facing their own editors.

Take "SLAM DUNK" as an example, if you change the manga artist, even if it is Uematsuno or Yamagishi Yoshito, this manga will have to be extended.

The average volume is more than 2 million, and if you mix in the comic circle, it is impossible not to know the horror of this achievement.

There are more than one million copies of comics in each volume, which is not much in District 11, and basically a large magazine will have a few copies, but once the volume exceeds two million copies, even if it is "Shonen Leap", it is not too many.

In particular, this kind of achievement is even more rare when the paper comic market is sluggish.

The problem now is that Shen Xin is not their cartoonist, and the length of the comic is not up to them - if "Comic Future" does not agree to be extended, they will not be able to do it.

But...... This kind of manga with sales should be one of the best in "Comic Future", right? They should also have heartache.

Of course, the crux of the matter is that the contract is written in black and white, and they have no right to interfere with the length of "SLAM DUNK", which means that Shen Xin has the right to decide the length of the comics.

"Oh, you said that...... It will end next year. Shen Xin took a bite of the fish and said it very casually.

Wang Wenhong sighed, sure enough, but he still translated it to Murakami and Tachibana.

"Huh?"

Murakami and Tachibana snorted in surprise.

"No, teacher, please think about it." Tachibana Shen pressed his hands on the table, straightened his body, and looked at Shen Xin, his face flushed, almost pleading.

"Of course, why do you think I'm forcing the animation to be released in the winter? Time drags on, and even if the animation is made, the manga is already over, and its usefulness is limited. Shen Xin looked at Tachibana Sentry angrily.

When Tachibana Shen heard Shen Xin's words, his mouth opened and he didn't say it for a long time.

He now knows why Shen Xin insisted on serializing it in the winter. If you follow the original entry.,Anime will be released in the summer or autumn.,Maybe it won't be long after the anime is released.,The manga will end.。

"But ......" Tachibana looked anxious, but his throat seemed to be stuck, and he couldn't speak.

It's a pity that a work with such good sales is facing an end. What's more, after the end of "SLAM DUNK", the sales of "Shonen Leap" are bound to decline, which is the most headache for Tachibana Shin.

Unless, find a manga that can replace SLAM DUNK. BUT IF A COMIC LIKE "SLAM DUNK" IS EASY TO FIND, HE WON'T BE SO ACCOMMODATING TO SHEN XIN.

"That'...... What about Mr. Shen's next comic? Toru Murakami immediately skipped "SLAM DUNK" and looked at Shen Xin's next manga.

Although he didn't communicate much with Shen Xin, more often than not, Wang Wenhong acted as an intermediary to complete the exchange, but the cooperation between the two sides was real, and he knew Shen Xin somewhat.

"Chess Soul", "Steel Forge" and "DN" are all high-quality, and "SLAM DUNK" is needless to say, so far, "SLAM DUNK" is one of the best in sports comics. If the serialization time is longer, it may be the best sports manga.

"Uh...... Haven't figured it out yet. Mr. Murakami, anyway, "SLAM DUNK" is not over yet, so let's put it off for the time being, right? Shen Xin shook his head.

Even if he has a lot of comics in his head, it takes a while to choose.

What's more, he is not a robot either, and his physical strength is not as good as that of his twenties, so he still needs to rest.

"Why don't we settle on the contract for the next work first?" Murakami spoke again.

"Huh?"

Wang Wenhong was a little surprised, and even Tachibana Sentry didn't expect Murakami to say this.

But Murakami also has his own reasons for doing this, "DN" was not serialized on "Shonen Leap", and he is still haunted by it.

Although there are only 7 copies of "DN", "DN" is serialized on the Internet, and the single book can still break 1.5 million copies, indicating that if it is published on "Young Leap", the single book will be at least 2 million copies.

"Uh......"

Shen Xin was also a little embarrassed after hearing Murakami's words.

"DN", "Steel", and "SLAM DUNK", all three comics have more than 2 million copies on Earth.

If you take into account the difference in the times, he can only paint a few films such as "Giant" and "Pirates". If "Hokage" wants to be drawn, the background will be greatly changed, and he is not sure what will be achieved at that time.

If Murakami had had the idea that the next manga would have surpassed 2 million copies, he would probably have been disappointed.

"You're really not sure about talking about it after the new book is out?"

"Shall we at least communicate? Even if the name of the new book does not come out, we can reach a consensus first. Toru Murakami explained.
