In order to ensure that he could meet Yu Chen, Wang Wenhong called him on the way.

When Yu Chen learned that Shen Xin was coming, his scalp was numb.

If he came over at another point in time, he would definitely welcome it with both hands, but at this time, one is embarrassing at the point of time, and the other is Shen Xin coming over, I don't know what will happen.

However, he couldn't refuse directly, and when he heard that Shen Xin and Wang Wenhong were already on the way, he could only agree.

In the editorial department, the editors, who were being called by readers, heard Shen Xin coming over and couldn't help but look at Yu Chen.

Even if it is them, it is rare to see Shen Xin, who does not come to the magazine very often.

Shen Xin and them don't have too much intersection, only the intersection of their works, in addition, there is no other superfluous communication at all, and besides, with Shen Xin's current state, there is no need to run here often.

When they heard Yu Chen mention that Shen Xin would come over, they were all a little surprised.

The reader's calls continued, and the assistants immediately focused on responding to the reader's call, but there was a doubt in their hearts - why did Shen Xin come over?

In about an hour, Shen Xin and the three of them came to the editorial office of "Comic Future".

After the editors saw it, they called Yu Chen, who was working, and Yu Chen immediately stood up.

Shen Xin pointed to the conference room separated by a glass wall inside, Yu Chen nodded, and walked in first.

Shen Xin greeted the editor he knew, but found that he didn't see Wu Xiaoli, and he felt a little strange in his heart, but he didn't think about it, but entered the conference room directly.

"Teacher Shen, you haven't been here many times, have you?" After Yu Chen saw Shen Xin and the others sit down, he spoke.

Shen Xin glanced around the conference room, "In my impression, I shouldn't have been to this conference room much." ”

In fact, although Shen Xin has been to the mansion of Yishu Culture, the editorial department rarely comes.

"Haha...... That, let Mr. Shen smile, in the past two days, the editorial department has been very busy...... If Mr. Shen needs our cooperation in anything, he may have to give a little grace for two days. Yu Chen said with a smile.

"No, what I'm talking about has to do with what you're busy with."

The muscles on Yu Chen's face instantly stiffened, and he coughed lightly, "Teacher Shen, this matter has nothing to do with you, so don't get involved." ”

"I don't want to get involved, I'm also very busy, this time out, I have to talk a lot of time to make up for today's work." Shen Xin explained.

"Then you're ...... Please come back first, right? It shouldn't be long before this is over. ”

"At that time, I'm afraid it'll be too late." Shen Xin sighed and said.

"Huh?" Yu Chen raised his eyebrows slightly and stared at Shen Xin, "Teacher Shen, what do you mean?" Could it be Fan Yinmo asking you, right? ”

"Fan Yinmo has quit the comic circle, what's the use of looking for me?" Shen Xin stared at Yu Chen coldly, "I just hope that there will be a better outcome in this matter." ”

Yu Chen didn't say anything, but the sneer on his face was telling Shen Xin that he was meddling.

Shen Xin was not angry, and said with a smile: "Mr. Yu, can you answer me a few questions?" ”

"Please." Yu Chen wanted to see what difficult questions Shen Xin could raise.

Xi Muhan also stared at Shen Xin, and she wanted to know what kind of attitude Shen Xin would have when she faced this matter.

Before, Shen Xin's attitude had been unclear, but before leaving, the attitude he showed should be more inclined to Fan Yinmo, which is quite strange.

"First question, did you take into account the expectations of your readers when you made this decision?" Shen Xin asked.

"Readers spend money, but they also get single books and magazines, and even though "No Demons in the World" was cut in half, we don't take money from readers either, right?" Yu Chen said with a smile.

"Alas, Mr. Yu didn't seem to hear my question clearly. I'm not talking about whether you've thought about your 'readers,' but whether you've thought about your readers' expectations. Shen Xin chuckled, Yu Chen obviously misunderstood his intentions, and he could only repeat the question again.

"What?" Yu Chen was stunned.

Wang Wenhong also rubbed his chin and fell into thought.

He had never considered this matter before.

"When the editors were guiding new cartoonists, they said one thing, cartoonists try to maintain suspense at the end of each sentence, so as to attract readers and let readers buy the next comic, Brother Wang, you did the same when you were guiding newcomers, right?"

Wang Wenhong saw Shen Xin asking him, and immediately nodded.

"It is said to set up suspense, but in fact, it is to make readers have a sense of expectation for the story, so that readers can't help but buy magazines and single books. It's critical for a magazine, right? ”

Yu Chen wanted to refute, but he didn't know how to answer.

A magazine and, above all, readers.

A cartoonist, no matter how famous and powerful he is, if readers don't buy it, his value will be greatly reduced, otherwise, there will not be so many famous cartoonists, and after a comic book is popular, no one can be found anymore.

Shen Xin started from the reader's point of view, he really didn't expect it.

"Readers have expectations for a single sentence, and they also have expectations for the subsequent plot of a manga, which is why they choose to read this manga. In the comics, there are readers' expectations for this comic, and they have various fantasies about this comic, and then, waiting for the author to slowly reveal it, he gives the idea of 'haha, as I thought', or, 'this is the kind of operation'.

"The results of "No Demons in the World" are very good, which shows that readers like this comic very much. They didn't want the manga to be forced to end for some reason. From the reader's point of view, the matter between the magazine and the cartoonist is left to both parties. What they need is a comic they like to be able to serialize. So, when you did this, did you think about the feelings of your readers? ”

The reader's sense of anticipation is important to the work.

Shen Xin was an online writer before the crossing, and he knew that some of them had written seven or eight million words, or even tens of millions of words.

Of course, there is water like this, Shen Xin has never seen such a long one, so he doesn't know how high the "water content" is, but he can write so many words, and the results are usually not bad, and the reader obviously knows that it is very watery, but he will still continue to subscribe, a big reason is that the reader wants to know the ending.

What's more, the normal conclusion of a popular comic will have an impact on the comic website, not to mention that "Comic Future" only has 20 comics serialized, and "No Demon in the World" is still forced to be cut in half. Are you sure that this part of the audience will come back after it has been lost? Shen Xin asked rhetorically.

There is no doubt that famous cartoonists jumping to different platforms will inevitably take away some readers, otherwise, the platform will not make great efforts to dig up those cartoonists, and the chain reaction brought about by Wang Yunze's digging is a good example.

Wang Wenhong looked at Shen Xin in surprise, he didn't expect Shen Xin to look so far.

"I understand your thoughts, but ...... It's impossible for a magazine to pretend not to see such a thing as a double contract. This is not only about the prestige and prestige of the magazine, if Fan Yinmo wants to make some small moves, we have no choice. Yu Chen's tone was stiff, and he could see that he was very unhappy, but he still made an explanation.

"The reader should not be the one who suffers." Shen Xin reiterated his point of view again, and then sighed again, "Also, Mr. Yu, "SLAM DUNK" will end in the second half of the year, is "Comic Future" ready?" Once there is too much loss of readers, I am afraid that these readers will not come back when I serialize them again. ”

Yu Chen was speechless for a while.

HE KNEW THAT SLAM DUNK WAS ALMOST OVER, BUT HE DIDN'T EXPECT IT TO BE SO SOON.

IN A FEW MONTHS, SLAM DUNK WILL BE OVER......

This also ...... Some are hard to accept.
