Chapter 1127: Shen Xin's thoughts
Shen Xin didn't expect Murakami and Tachibana to turn the topic to the new book, in fact, he really didn't think about it.
According to his plan, after the end of "SLAM DUNK", he will take a break for a while, not only because of physical exhaustion, but if you take into account the age, he and Xi Muhan should also think about the child.
"BUT TO BE HONEST, AFTER SLAM DUNK, I MIGHT HAVE TO TAKE A BREAK OR TWO AFTER SLAM DUNK AND THINK ABOUT MY PERSONAL MATTERS." Shen Xin was slightly apologetic.
Rest is not about doing nothing.
If he chooses the kind of comic that the earth is not over in the next work, he will definitely find a way to come up with the ending of the comic. During this time, he may have to discuss the direction of the story with Wang Wenhong and Yan Fei.
In addition, he may also discuss further cooperation with Ji Yinxuan, for example, to provide other game modes, or to provide a game flow that is more popular on Earth.
He is only responsible for collecting money and making things, and handing it over to Ji Yinxuan for ...... In fact, he had already revealed to Ji Yinxuan that he wanted to take a stake in Magi, and Ji Yinxuan was also very interested.
Although Magi made a fortune on The Gate of the Stone of Destiny, it is clear that Ji Yinxuan is not such an easy person to be satisfied.
If Zhenyu Technology can be pulled down from the throne of domestic game NO.1, this is the best thing for Ji Yinxuan.
One party provides the funds and the outline of the story, does not participate in the production and management, and receives bonus dividends, and the other party produces the game and has control over the company.
Both sides take what they need.
It is with these in mind that Shen Xin does not make special limits on the serialization time of the next comic, after all, there is still a lot to do.
"Hmm......"
Murakami and Tachibana didn't expect Shen Xin to say this, and their minds didn't turn around at the moment.
After sandwiching a piece of green vegetables and sending it to the mouth, Tachibana Shin was thinking about how to prevent the sales of "Shonen Leap" from falling after the end of "SLAM DUNK", however, after thinking about it repeatedly, there was never an effective solution.
Don't...... Does he really have to accept the fact that "Shonen Leap" has an avalanche of sales in the post-"SLAM DUNK" era?
Thinking of this, Tachibana Sentry's back was a little cold.
"Shonen Leap" can now maintain sales of nearly 5 million copies, which is related to pillar comics such as "The Strongest Pitcher" and "Steam Age", but this sales are more supported by "Eternal Gate" and "SLAM DUNK", two comics with two million volumes.
Next year...... NO, IN A FEW MONTHS, ONCE SLAM DUNK IS OVER......
Tachibana took a handkerchief from his pocket and wiped the sweat from his forehead.
"Mr. Wang and Mr. Shen should have cooperated for several years, right?" Murakami rubbed his hands and moved his gaze to Wang Wenhong's side.
"Huh? Well, yes. Wang Wenhong bowed his head.
"Since when have you cooperated with Mr. Shen?"
"'Chess Soul', and then we have been working together until now." Wang Wenhong replied softly.
Murakami bowed slightly, took a sip of wine, and did not make a sound.
Now, the conundrum before him and Shonen Leap is how to prevent Shonen Leap from having too much of an impact after SLAM DUNK is over.
However, based on his experience as Shonen Leap for more than a decade, it is almost impossible to stabilize the magazine's sales when a phenomenal comic is finished.
At that time, not only "Shonen Leap" will usher in shocks, I'm afraid, "Comic Future" will not be easy either.
In just a few minutes, Tachibana and Murakami deduced several times in their minds, but they couldn't find a suitable replacement.
It is easy to find comics with an average volume of hundreds of thousands of copies, and comics with an average volume of 2 million copies, in the history of comics in District 11, there are only about 20 copies.
What's more, if you count the full-color version of the single book, "SLAM DUNK" is not much different if it is not as good as "The Gate of Eternal Life".
What's even more terrifying is that "SLAM DUNK" has only been serialized for five years.
"Mr. Shen, can't "SLAM DUNK" ......" Tachibana Shen didn't give up, but was stopped by Murakami's outstretched hand.
"What are Mr. Shen's plans for the future?" Murakami asked.
"Future...... I'm not sure yet, but maybe, when SLAM DUNK is over, I'll have a clue, right? Shen Xin replied half-truthfully, half of this sentence was dealing with Murakami, and as for the remaining half, maybe by that time, he would be sure what to draw.
"If Mr. Shen is still serialized on "Young Leap", what conditions are needed?" Murakami asked again.
"On what terms?" The corners of Shen Xin's mouth curled slightly, "Of course, it's to recycle the production rights of animation." ”
The animation production of "SLAM DUNK" has caused such a incident, with the concept of eating a trench and growing wise, Shen Xin will definitely intervene in the production of the next comic.
After hearing Wang Wenhong's translation, the Tachibana gentry looked gloomy, drank wine, and was silent.
Murakami Toru glared at Tachibana Gentry dissatisfied, if it wasn't for his original decision, Shen Xin would not have made this request.
"As for the rest...... I have the right to suspend the publication. When Shen Xin was still digesting the previous piece of information from Murakami and Tachibana Sentry, he threw another problem to Murakami and Tachibana Sentry.
"Huh?"
Murakami and Tachibana snorted in surprise.
"You heard you right, it's the right to suspend the publication." Shen Xin took a drink and breathed a sigh of relief, "Now that I have passed the most energetic period, I also have to think about the things around me, so please take this condition into account." ”
"What frequency?" Murakami swallowed a mouthful of saliva.
"I guess it's closed every four or five weeks." Shen Xin thought for a moment and felt that this frequency should be fine.
You don't lose readers, and you can take care of your own health. If he does it like before, his body may not be able to stand it, after all, he is past the age when he can be willful.
In short, painting is painting, exercising is exercise, not to mention maintaining health like an old thief, but also to start paying attention to rest.
After the end of "SLAM DUNK", Shen Xin basically didn't lack anything, and he only made less money at most, and the impact on him was not too great.
"It's four or five weeks off." Murakami bowed slightly, this frequency can't be considered high, if he is the editor-in-chief, he will definitely agree.
Now the decision is in the hands of Tachibana Sentry, and he can't overstep his duties, so he can only go back and think about it.
The only good thing is that Shen Xin also revealed some news at this wine party, and they can have enough time to compare and think about countermeasures.
Of course, more importantly, even if Shen Xin is more off, his results should be better than most cartoonists.
This is also Shen Xin's weight.
When the wine party dispersed, Shen Xin and Wang Wenhong sent Murakami and Tachibana out of the hotel, and only then turned around after watching the two of them get into a taxi.
"Teacher, will you talk too much? They can look for replacements. ”
"It doesn't matter. Even if I don't say it, after the end of "SLAM DUNK", they will also need to find a replacement, but whether they can actually find it is difficult to say...... I had a hunch that the decline in sales of Shonen Leap was inevitable. ”
Shen Xin remembered that when he was on Earth, the sales peak of "Youth Jump" was in 95, and the single sales of Nos. 3-4 sold 6.53 million copies.
But remember that the paper market was not too challenged at the time, and the pillar manga serialized in "Shonen Leap" was "Dragon Ball", "SLAM DUNK", and "Rogue Kenshin".
After the completion of these three comics, without exception, the average volume sales exceeded 2 million copies.
There are only 13 or 4 manga serialized in "Jump" and sold more than 2 million copies in China, including "DN", "Hokage" and "Full-Time Hunter".
Therefore, it was the peak of "Shonen Jump" at the time, but the rise and fall of "jump" also began precisely with the end of "SLAM DUNK", and then "Rogue Kenshin" was difficult to stand alone, although "Pirates", "Full Time Hunter", "Hokage" and "Bleach " were also serialized one after another, due to the impact of the Internet, the paper magazine was sluggish, and the sales of "jump" have been declining.
"Shonen Leap" currently only has "Eternal Gate" and "SLAM DUNK" two comics with more than 2 million copies each, and at the same time, the impact of the Internet impact on paper is even greater, once "SLAM DUNK" is over, "Shonen Leap" sales will inevitably decline, and even it is normal for sales to fall below 4 million copies in a single week.
"So what do we do?"
"The soldiers will block, the water will cover the earth, there will always be a way." Shen Xin stretched his waist, "However, even if "SLAM DUNK" ends, everyone may not be idle, especially you and Sister Yan." ”
"Huh?"
"On the one hand, there is further cooperation with MAGI, and on the other hand, the preparation of a new book...... Although it is necessary to take a break for a while, it is not realistic to take a break for a year or two, at most it is to adjust the physical state before continuing to open the book, so it is necessary to prepare before opening the book. ”
"Teacher...... Ready for the theme? Wang Wenhong said excitedly.
"There are only a few themes, but if you want to stand out from the crowd of comics, is it still the most suitable for bloody fighting?"
The competition of royal comics is the greatest, but as long as it can fight its way out, its height is not comparable to other types of comics.
"Xiaohan as the original? To be honest, although Xiaohan has proven himself on "Comic Future", he ...... She is not yet suitable for a stage of the level of "Shonen Leap". Wang Wenhong said entangledly.
"I don't want her to fit in either." Shen Xin stretched his muscles, saw Wang Wenhong's surprised look, and chuckled: "Pressure." Do you think the pressure of serializing in "Shonen Leap" is the same as that of "Comic Future"? ”
"Yes...... Xiaohan, hasn't she always looked forward to creating comics with you and serializing them in magazines? ”
"When the time comes, maybe there will be any interesting original work? Besides, aren't there still me, you, and Sister Yan? If you all participate together, you can always create a good-looking comic, right? Let's go, it's windy here, beware of colds. Shen Xin patted Wang Wenhong on the shoulder, stretched his waist, and entered the hotel.
Wang Wenhong shrugged his shoulders, but he became interested in Shen Xin's lower comics.
Is it to cooperate with Xiaohan, or to serialize it himself, or both?
Before today, Shen Xin may not have thought about the next comics, but after that, who can say what Shen Xin thinks?
Perhaps, it may be a work that makes people shine.
