Chapter 435: Dispute
Applying for the animation of "Steel Refining" at this time was a little embarrassing for Shen Xin.
According to his original intention, it is better to animate it when there are more than a dozen volumes, because in this way, the full version of the manga can be produced.
But now it's being made, not to mention the quality, a manga is cut into several seasons.
"You don't seem to be very satisfied...... Wang Wenhong asked in a low voice.
""Steel" is longer than "Chess Soul", how many seasons are you going to divide "Steelcore" into?" Shen Xin asked rhetorically.
On Earth, the animation of "Chess Soul" has a total of 75 episodes, and if you add the Beidou Cup, which has not been produced, "Chess Soul" should be around 100 episodes.
"Steel" is a little less, "Steelcast 03" has 51 episodes, "Steelcast Fa" 64 episodes, both comics are complete stories, but the length is not as good as "Chess Soul", but in fact, this does not mean that "Steel" is not as long as "Chess Soul".
Many people know about "Steel Forge 03". When the 03 version was made, Aunt Niu only drew more than 30 words, because the original version was a monthly magazine, so it was probably equivalent to more than 50 words drawn by Shen Xin, so a lot of original plots were used later.
As for "Steel Forge Fa", although it is a work with zero negative reviews, its comics of "Steel Forge Fa" have been deleted in many places.
Considering storyboarding and other reasons, "Steelcore" should also be around 100 episodes.
Wang Wenhong rubbed his chin, "Then what do you mean......"
"Push it off, right? The production ...... of "Steelcore" We'll talk about it next year. Shen Xin said in a deep voice.
Wang Wenhong's brows furrowed, "Push it off?" ”
"The editor-in-chief asked you, and you said it was my opinion." Shen Xin said with a gloomy face.
Making two versions like the original, Shen Xin didn't think about it, but it was unrealistic. It's not that the version of "Steel Refining 03" is not good enough, but Aunt Niu has been painting "Steel Refining 03" for 10 years. The producer has enough time to digest the proceeds of "Steelforge 03" before making a second part.
Now, Shen Xin's "Steel Refining" is a weekly magazine, which means that if you make two comics like Earth, it is likely that after the first part is played, the animation will be over.
It is very likely that the production team will not make a second part - historically, it is not an animation that has not been unfinished.
Wang Wenhong grinned, glanced at Xi Muhan who was sitting on the side, and gave her a look, asking her to persuade Shen Xin.
Xi Muhan hurriedly shook her head, she would not object to what Shen Xin had already decided.
"It's a pity, such a good opportunity, the other party is orochi."
When signing the contract, Shen Xin had already discussed with the magazine that he did have the right to deny the production of animation.
I really don't understand, what the hell is this guy thinking?
Wang Wenhong scratched his head, a little embarrassed.
Comic Future hasn't decided who will be the next manga to take the lead, and this is a clear opportunity.
"There's no way around it." Shen Xin laughed dryly, "Drag it out for another year, right?" ”
Wang Wenhong bowed slightly, "I know, but I want to talk to the editor-in-chief first." ”
"Well, I'm sorry." Shen Xin felt quite guilty.
Wang Wenhong got up, entered the bathroom, and dialed Shang Haozhi's mobile phone.
"What's wrong?"
"Ahem...... Editor-in-chief, there's something I want to tell you. Mr. Shen's meaning, the production of animation, will be postponed to next year. ”
There was silence on the phone for a while, and Wang Wenhong could even guess Shang Haozhi's angry look, so he could only remain silent.
"I didn't hear you clearly, you say it again." Shang Haozhi's voice was cold.
Wang Wenhongming knew that Shang Haozhi was not satisfied, but he could only bite the bullet and say: "Mr. Shen said that the animation production of "Steel Refining" will be considered next year. ”
"Wait...... It's only July this year, and he said that he will consider animation production next year? ”
"Hmm." Wang Wenhong nodded.
"Put P!" Shang Haozhi scolded very rarely, "Ahem...... I didn't say that...... I want to listen to the reason. ”
Wang Wenhong has a black line.
He said that the length of "Steel" is longer than "Chess Soul", so he doesn't want to divide it into four or five seasons.
"Who told you to split it into four or five seasons? Just one season, it's a long story. ”
Long?
Wang Wenhong's eyes lit up, and sweat oozed from his palms.
Many manga are made in seasons after they are converted into anime. In this way, on the one hand, the producer has to evaluate the trend of the entire animation from the income of the first season, and second, the audience is more suitable for this kind of 13-episode or 26-episode drama.
But a magazine like the three major magazines will have at least one manga as a feature-length production.
The feature-length anime that is being played in Comic Future is The Legend of the Dragon King.
Although "Hunting Abyss" surpasses "The Legend of the Dragon King" in popularity, it is not a feature-length animation.
Now, Shang Haozhi is preparing to make "Steelcore" into a feature-length animation, which means that the future of "Steelcore" in "Comic Future" is very exciting.
"You...... Give the phone to Mr. Shen, and I will tell him personally. Shang Haozhi said in a deep voice.
"Oh, okay."
Wang Wenhong took a deep breath, hurriedly left the bathroom, and when he came to the living room on the second floor, he found that Shen Xin had already started painting, and Xi Muhan was sitting on the sofa alone and reading.
"The editor-in-chief wants to talk to you." Wang Wenhong handed the phone to Shen Xin.
Shen Xin had already guessed that Shang Haozhi did not agree with his words, so he took the phone.
"Editor-in-chief?"
"The animation of "Steel" is a feature, not a season, so it should be no problem to make it into an animation, right?" Shang Haozhi said patiently.
"Long? No, I didn't figure it out, I only drew forty words, how do I do a long original? It will take several years to draw later. Shen Xin asked rhetorically.
"You should understand that if you can't connect it, you can do some original content ......"
"No way, if you want to do it, just follow my comics, if you don't want to do it, don't take it." Shen Xin said in a deep voice.
Just kidding, even if it's a famous animation, it's where it's original and where it collapses.
Shen Xin hates this feeling, especially "Steel Refining" obviously has the strength of "zero negative reviews", so there is no need to wade into troubled waters.
In normal times, "Comic Future" may rarely care about the author's attitude, but now that the magazine has been in turmoil, Shang Haozhi has no confidence.
“……”
For a moment, he didn't know what to say.
"If it's okay, I'll hang up first."
After making sure that Shang Haozhi didn't make a sound, Shen Xin wanted to hang up the phone, but Shang Haozhi hurriedly asked: "Wait a minute, Orochi's people will come over next week, and when the time comes, everyone will sit down and discuss it to see if there is any other way." ”
Shen Xin didn't want to stiffen everyone's relationship for this matter, "It's okay." However, you and Orochi should be clear that I may not agree. ”
"You...... I can't figure it out, what are you going to do......" Shang Haozhi sighed helplessly.
After hanging up the phone, Shen Xin threw the phone to Wang Wenhong.
"Disagree?" Wang Wenhong asked rhetorically.
"Hmm. It depends, right? ”
"I can't figure out why you're so persistent."
"Pursue the difference, right? Why should I lower my requirements when I have the opportunity to make better quality animations? Shen Xin asked rhetorically.
"However, the opportunity is fleeting."
"You are wrong, as long as there is good work, there will never be a shortage of opportunities." Shen Xin said with a smile.
He didn't believe that "Steelcore" could not be made into an animation.
