"Is there a comic like this?" The assistant was puzzled.

"Absolutely. "Chess Soul" is good. Jin Yingchen said.

"Chess Soul? It can't even win the domestic award in China, how can it win the 'International Comics Award'? ”

"Yes. In Huaxia, it only needs to compete with a few comics, but it doesn't win, and now it competes with comics from all over the world for the 'International Comics Award', and it is obviously more difficult to win the award. ”

Hearing the words of the assistants, a smile involuntarily appeared on Jin Yingchen's face, "This is true. If it weren't for the death of the author of "Chess Soul", perhaps, nothing would have happened to me...... Now, it's hard to say. ”

Originally, Li Zehao lost to Zhen Xi again, which made Jin Yingchen's heart quite depressed, but when he thought of the "International Comics Awards", his mood immediately became much smoother.

Jin Yingchen is well aware that the market of Han has limitations, and he needs to use the "International Comics Awards" as a springboard to jump out of the comic market of Han country.

After that, whether you go to Huaxia or to District 11, you can have a good future.

At the waist seal of the single book, the "International Comics Award" winning work is stamped, and that feeling is ...... It's just not too cool.

The only not-so-good thing is that there is still a week left before the International Comics Awards are announced.

During this time, it was really difficult.

Before that, I hope Park Yongtai can teach Zhen Hee a hard lesson.

……

The latest episode of "Chess Soul" is "Looking for Zuowei", and the ranking is still not very high, but there are signs of recovery, and it has now returned to 10th place.

Wang Wenhong finally breathed a sigh of relief, and "Chess Soul" finally stopped the decline.

Shen Xin didn't worry about the results of "Chess Soul".

Shang Haozhi has already said in public that he will not cut "Chess Soul" in half, so he only needs to complete the original manuscript with high quality.

In addition to drawing "Chess Soul", Shen Xin also had other activities this week, which was to watch the Go competition held in Han Kingdom.

Zhen Hee sang all the way in the knockout round and entered the finals, where he met Park Yong-tae, the first person of the young generation of Han Country.

Before the game, both Park Yongtai and Zhen Hee showed strong self-confidence, especially Park Yongtai, who said directly when facing the Han Guo reporter: "There are only two official matches and one exhibition match in the final. ”

The implication is that he can keep Zhen Xi clean in the first two games.

Zhen Xi was not to be outdone, and countered: "People who talk rhetorically are often not strong. Hope you don't let me down. ”

Before the finals began, the two of them were already tense, which made many Go lovers look forward to the showdown between the two.

Of course, Shen Xin is also one of them.

Although Zhen Xi is a little prejudiced against him and "Chess Soul", he still hopes that Huaxia Go can usher in the peak one day sooner.

On the day of the final of the Go competition, Shen Xin finished the sketch early, and then sat in front of the TV with a sketchbook and pen, ready to watch the game between Zhen Xi and Park Yongtai, and Wang Wenhong also came to the studio in a hurry at this time.

He didn't care about resting, and directly stepped up to the second floor, and saw that there were sketchbooks and needle pens on the coffee table in front of Shen Xin, so he asked curiously, "Teacher Shen, what are you going to do here?" ”

"Soon the match between Zhen Hee and Park Yong Tae is going to start. I want to observe Park Yong-tae to see if he is as good as the media says he is. Shen Xin said with a smile.

Dynamic sketching can best capture the characteristics of a person's actions, which is one of the reasons why Shen Xin watched the live broadcast.

"By the way, Brother Wang, why are you here?" Shen Xin glanced out the window, it was afternoon, and Wang Wenhong shouldn't have gotten off work yet.

"Of course there's something." Wang Wenhong took out the briefcase, took out three sheets of paper printed with color drawings from it, and handed them to Shen Xin, "This is the cover of volume 14, you can see which one is better to choose." ”

"Cover?"

Shen Xin took the color page, which were the single paintings of Zuo Wei, Xiaoguang and Xiaoliang, and after a little contemplation, Shen Xin took out Xiaoguang's and handed it to Wang Wenhong.

"This volume is mainly about Xiaoguang, so it's better to use Xiaoguang's solo painting as the cover."

"Actually, in this volume, the competition between Zuo Wei and Shi Xingyang is the focus." Wang Wenhong put away the color page.

"I know. But the next volume is 'Sayo Disappears', and I think it would be more appropriate to use Sayo. ”

Wang Wenhong nodded, and Shen Xin's words also made sense.

"Brother Wang, the fourteenth volume, how much is the magazine going to print?" Shen Xin looked at Wang Wenhong with some concern.

"The first edition of 400,000 copies, and the follow-up will be reprinted at any time."

mentioned the "first edition", and a smile also appeared on Wang Wenhong's face.

"400,000? So much? I thought the sales department would only print 200,000? ”

This number was beyond Shen Xin's expectations.

Even if he knew that before and after Zuo Wei's disappearance, the sales volume of the single book of "Chess Soul" fluctuated within a reasonable range, but the sales department of "ComicFuture" probably disagreed.

The small book has collapsed so badly, how can the sales of a single book not be an avalanche?

Those in the sales department will definitely refute this.

"Ahem, the sales of "Chess Soul" have increased recently." Wang Wenhong coughed dryly.

"Huh? How can it be? Shen Xin said in surprise.

"Hmm. It is said that some of the readers who tore the books and burned them bought a new set, so the sales of this month were higher than last month. This is also the reason why the sales department dared to print 400,000 copies for the first time. Wang Wenhong explained.

It's a bit like a "real fragrance warning".

Shen Xin laughed dryly and meditated in his heart.

"Now that the fourteenth volume of the advertisement has also been launched, it depends on how much sales will be made now." Wang Wenhong smiled reluctantly.

As the editor in charge of "Chess Soul", Wang Wenhong is more nervous than others.

"When will it be released?"

"The magazine is going to add a waist cover, so I'm going to wait for the 'International Comics Awards' in District 11 to be announced before releasing this volume."

Needless to say, what "International Comics Award" award-winning works will be written on the waist cover, and finally, some people's joint recommendations will be added.

Wang Wenhong saw that Shen Xin didn't make a sound, and explained: "I know that the previous single book of "Chess Soul" did not add these contents, but the last few volumes are a little special, no matter what, we have to increase the sales of this volume." ”

"I don't know much about these things, can you look at them?" Shen Xin's gaze was on the TV.

On the screen, Park Yong-tae and Zhen Hee walked into the finals side by side.

Shen Xin had also met Park Yongtai before, and he gave people a feeling that was a little different from Lee Sedol.

His hair is relatively short, the bangs in front slightly suppress his eyebrows, and his eyes are bright.

Looking at his age, he should be sixteen or seventeen years old, about half a head taller than Zhen Xi who was standing next to him.

Wearing a dark gray suit, no tie, and an open neckline, he walked with a sonorous and powerful voice, and it was not difficult to see that he was a very confident person.

After carefully observing Park Yongtai, Shen Xin picked up a sketchbook and a needle pen, lowered his head and drew quickly.

Wang Wenhong didn't notice Shen Xin's movements at first, but suddenly felt that Shen Xin didn't speak, so he turned his head to look at Shen Xin, and noticed that he was lowering his head to paint, so he quietly got up and came behind Shen Xin, his eyes suddenly opened round - the way Park Yongtai walked appeared in the sketchbook.
