Wang Wenhong didn't know the reason for Shang Haozhi's anger at first, but when he walked into the conference room and saw the magazines spread out on the table, he immediately knew it.

"What's going on?" Shang Haozhi picked up the magazine on the table and pointed to the penultimate page of chapter 76 of "Chess Soul", "Don't tell me, you don't know." Others may ignore it, but as the editor in charge of "Chess Soul", whether it is the name or the original manuscript, you have read it more than once, right? Can't you see it. ”

Wang Wenhong nodded, "I can see it." Moreover, I also asked Mr. Shen, Zuo Wei is going to disappear in the end. ”

"Then you just don't do anything, and then let this sentence be published like this? Xiao Wang, although you are still relatively young as an editor, you should also know how much impact it will have on a comic if you remove a popular character, right? ”

"I know, but Mr. Shang, there is no one in this world who knows "Chess Soul" better than Mr. Shen, I can't, Xie Shiqi can't, and you can't either. The only person who can grasp the rhythm of "Chess Soul" is Mr. Shen. As the editor in charge of "Chess Soul", I should first trust the author's judgment, if "Chess Soul" really goes downhill, Mr. Shen and I will come up with a suitable way. Wang Wenhong said in a deep voice.

"Downhill? You even thought there would be a downhill slope? Believe it or not, if Zuo Wei really disappears, what awaits "Chess Soul" is not a downhill road at all, but an avalanche! Shang Haozhi knocked on the table twice, "I know you trust the author's ideas, but as an editor, you should guide the author correctly." ComicFuture is a business magazine, and to put it more bluntly, we're here to make money! ”

"I know. If "Chess Soul" wasn't a commercial comic, would it have achieved its current results? Now the whole "ComicFuture" is comparable to "Chess Soul", and there are few films, right? ”

"That's because ComicFuture's platform is (big) ......"

Shang Haozhi didn't say the word "big", so he closed his mouth again.

Shen Xin's last comic "Y's" was published in "Neorld", but it still won the "Newcomer Award".

Wang Wenhong looked at Shang Haozhi suspiciously, Shang Haozhi coughed dryly, and looked regretful, "The foundation of "Chess Soul" is so good now...... There is no need to die. I've seen a lot of powerful authors, and then they all disappeared. Sometimes, editors need to constrain authors. ”

"Mr. Shang, I have also seen some authors who were also ruined in the end because they relied too much on editors." Wang Wenhong retorted.

Chen Zijiao is a lesson from the past, he can't be knocked down twice by the same mistake.

"You guy...... Deliberately finding fault, right? Shang Haozhi frowned and glared at Wang Wenhong, but Wang Wenhong didn't touch it at all.

Jian Xiaomei saw that the two of them still had no intention of backing down, so she stubbornly said: "Mr. Shang, what kind of popularity Zuo Wei is in "Chess Soul", no one knows, maybe more readers want to see Xiaoguang's growth?" "Chess Soul" is not messed up now, we can't mess up it ourselves. ”

Shang Haozhi nodded, now is the time for "Chess Soul" to produce results, and even if Shen Xin is asked to change the name behind it, it can't be directly singled out, it must be justified.

After thinking about it again and again, Shang Haozhi thought of a compromise solution, "In this way, in the next issue of the magazine, we will do a character vote for "Chess Soul", and use data to judge who is the most popular in "Chess Soul". ”

Wang Wenhong didn't make a sound, just lowered his head and clasped his fingers.

"You're not satisfied?" Shang Haozhi asked rhetorically.

"Mr. Shang, I just want to say that none of this is useful. Some small suggestions and opinions, the editor can mention, but when it comes to the general trend of the story, if the author can justify himself, it is still based on the author's opinion. Wang Wenhong said patiently.

"You don't have to worry about this matter, let's take a look at Zuowei's popularity first. If Zuo Wei's popularity is really high, I'll go to Shen Xin to discuss. Shang Haozhi explained.

Wang Wenhong just wanted to explain again, but Jian Xiaomei interjected, "Now everyone is speculating, no one knows who is the most popular in "Chess Soul", or it is more fair to vote. ”

"Well, that's it for now, right? If you have time, you can also persuade Mr. Shen, I don't want to see a comic that can become a big hit, and for this reason, it will be given up by readers. Shang Haozhi said patiently.

Wang Wenhong sighed and nodded helplessly.

Shang Haozhi directly said to Shen Xin that there would definitely be no drama, but he could probe Shen Xin's tone, and when the time came, if Shang Haozhi and Shen Xin quarreled, he could also mediate.

The three of them left the conference room, and the other editors, who were particularly concerned about the situation in the room, immediately turned their heads and pretended to continue their work.

After coming out of the conference room, Wang Wenhong didn't have the heart to continue working, hastily sorted out the name of the next episode of "Chess Soul", stayed up until work, and hurriedly left the editorial office with a briefcase.

Coming to Shen Xin's studio, the three assistants bowed their heads to draw comics, and Shen Xin was also preparing the name of the following words.

When Wang Wenhong went up to the second floor, Shen Xin handed over the name of the five words to Wang Wenhong in one go.

"Why are there so many at once?"

"Next is the fixed stage race, so you have to prepare in advance to avoid mistakes."

The following three words are Shen Xin's original plot, and there is no such plot in the original work, the fundamental reason is because in Huaxia and District 11, a chess player wants to become a professional chess player, and the rules of the exam are not the same.

Readers may not know these details, but professional players do, as do those who dream of becoming a professional chess player but don't make it to the fixed stage.

He didn't want to perfunctory this part of the reader.

Wang Wenhong took the name, but did not open it, but put it to the side.

"In the next issue of "ComicFuture", the editor-in-chief decided to conduct a vote on the popularity of the characters in "Chess Soul" to see who is the most popular in "Chess Soul"."

"Oh."

Shen Xin nodded, many magazines will vote on the popularity of the characters in the comics, and decide the fate of the characters according to the ranking. Therefore, there is nothing wrong with Shang Haozhi doing this.

Teacher Shen ...... If Zuo Wei's popularity is ranked first, will he still disappear? Wang Wenhong asked.

"Yes. Is there any necessitating relationship between the two? ”

"Grades. With the disappearance of Zuo Wei, there will definitely be readers who give up "Chess Soul". Wang Wenhong thought about it, and finally gritted his teeth and said, "Actually, it is difficult for the editor-in-chief to accept Zuo Wei's disappearance...... He felt that "Chess Soul" might collapse because of this. ”

Shen Xin instantly understood Shang Haozhi's intentions, and bowed slightly, "I know, no wonder the editor-in-chief will vote for popularity at this time." ”

Wang Wenhong smiled, "The editor-in-chief is also worried about "Chess Soul", he wants "Chess Soul" to become an evergreen tree of "ComicFuture" like "The Legend of the Dragon King". ”

"Impossible." Shen Xin shook his head, "The comic "Chess Soul" is different from other comics. Let me put it this way, if you follow the editor-in-chief, the rest of the story will be very difficult to draw. ”
