Wang Wenhong had been all morning, but it was not easy at all.

In order to find as many comic magazines as possible, Wang Wenhong went to several bookstores, and only then did he buy more than a dozen magazines.

As soon as I returned to the hotel and took a bite of rice, I saw Shen Xin and the three of them coming back from the window of the restaurant.

Shen Xin also saw Wang Wenhong, said hello to him, and pointed upstairs again, the meaning was obvious, everyone met at the residence.

Wang Wenhong nodded, and after Shen Xin left, he hastily picked up two mouthfuls of food, then went upstairs to his bedroom, sorted out the dozen or so magazines he bought, and knocked on Shen Xin's door with the magazines.

In the house, Xi Muhan sat on the bed.

The whole thing had little to do with her, so she didn't get too close, Yan Fei put the notebook on the table, and talked about something with Shen Xin while browsing the forum.

Wang Wenhong put the magazine on the table, took a breath, picked up a bottle of pure water on the table, and took a big sip.

"Why hasn't the plastic seal been torn off?" Yan Fei glanced at the stack of magazines, and eighty percent of the plastic envelopes were not torn.

"I don't have time." Wang Wenhong pulled his face with a reluctant expression, "Do you think that it is easy to buy these magazines?" You know, the sales of best-selling magazines are terrifying, and many magazines are out of stock. I may run several bookstores to buy a magazine, is it easy for me? ”

"Hard." Shen Xin brought a rattan chair for Wang Wenhong and asked him to sit down, while he picked up the magazine on top, "Zhou Man Top".

This is also a very famous manga magazine in the 11th arrondissement, which used to sell 1.5 million copies a week, but now I don't know how.

"By the way, I also got an interesting inquiry." Wang Wenhong leaned on the back of the chair, straightened his legs, and stretched his waist beautifully.

"Huh?"

"The sales of the last few issues of "Shonen Leap" have fallen below four million copies, so "Shonen Leap" is not in a very good situation." Wang Wenhong said with a smile.

"Oh......" Shen Xin rubbed his chin and chuckled.

Yan Fei also supported her cheeks with one hand, and the look on her face was also intriguing.

"What's wrong with you?" Wang Wenhong was a little puzzled.

"In the evening, the editor-in-chief of Murakami will come over." Yan Fei explained.

"Huh? What did he come here for? Wang Wenhong couldn't think of a reason for a while, after all, Murakami's popping up was too sudden.

"It's supposed to be about cooperation, right? Of course, this is just my blind guess, and the specific reason is that I am afraid that we will only know when the editor-in-chief of Murakami comes over. Shen Xin explained.

"What does Teacher Shen mean?" Wang Wenhong asked.

"It's always right to have bargaining chips in negotiations, right?" Shen Xin asked rhetorically.

"That's right." Wang Wenhong nodded.

"Shonen Leap" is somewhat similar to "Comic Future", but because it has some comics that are well-known all over the world, it is worth more than "Comic Future".

Negotiating with such a magazine is nothing at all without bargaining chips.

Shen Xin created amazing income in "Comic Future", which is Shen Xin's bargaining chips, as for "Shonen Leap", "DN" was not serialized on it, and "Shonen Leap" was only affected. Therefore, it is really hard to say how far Murakami can retreat.

More critically, Shen Xin did not have enough chips in his hand.

There are so many well-known cartoonists in District 11, and "Shonen Leap" is one of the most desirable magazines for countless cartoonists in District 11, so there is no need for Murakami to stick to Shen Xin.

"Then what do you mean ......"

"What do I think...... Shen Xin raised his head and thought for a moment, "This negotiation will not be fruitful no matter what." So, this time, we'll collect information about these magazines first, and then talk to them when I have the chips. ”

Wang Wenhong nodded, and then asked seriously: "The bargaining chip you are talking about is the Gate of the Stone of Destiny?" ”

"It's not. I'm not going to draw Stone Gate, I'm not going to use it as a bargaining chip. ”

"Really? That's a shame. Wang Wenhong sighed.

Although he doesn't know the content behind "The Gate of the Stone of Destiny" yet, judging by the original art, story, etc., the quality of this work is extremely high.

"The value of "Gate of Destiny Stone" is not in the comics. I also don't want to draw two manga at the same time, it's easy to get tired energetically. Rather than this, it is better to focus all your energy on one work. ”

"That'...... Teacher's new work, do you have an idea? Wang Wenhong couldn't help but ask again.

"There you go. But again, even if I go back to Hongchuan now to prepare, the new book will probably not be serialized until the middle of next year. Shen Xin looked at Wang Wenhong with a smile.

Not only Wang Wenhong was surprised, but even Yan Fei couldn't help but turn her head and look at Shen Xin in confusion.

"A book has to be prepared for more than half a year, don't ......" Yan Fei's words came to an abrupt end.

Shen Xin may have been thinking about the new book when he was traveling, so the preparation time for this book may even exceed a year.

"Do you really have to prepare for so long?" Wang Wenhong couldn't help but confirm it again.

"Hmm. I can't draw it yet, so I'll have to wait a little longer. ”

Yan Fei and Wang Wenhong looked at each other, and they could see the surprise on each other's faces.

Even the comics that Shen Xin can't draw should be uncommon, but since Shen Xin said so, there should be a certain reason.

"It's hard to draw?"

"I thought about it for a while, mainly because the storyboard and the characters' actions are more difficult, so in the past six months, I have to spend most of my time on these aspects...... I know you're a little surprised. Right? The next manga will be a true royal manga. Shen Xin rubbed his hands.

After resting for such a long time, he is also in good shape, if he returns to Hongchuan, maybe he will start practicing drawing immediately, right?

Yan Fei's eyes immediately lit up, and the comic that brought Shen Xin the biggest benefit was actually "Steel Forge".

And Shen Xin debuted ten years ago, and there is only one royal comic in the real sense - although "Chess Soul" is also, but the theme is too niche and the threshold is a little high, and many readers don't think that "Chess Soul" is a royal comic.

Therefore, Shen Xin's next comic is a royal comic, which is indeed very good.

Wang Wenhong crossed his fingers and put them in front of him, and his eyes were also very energetic.

The ceiling of the royal road comics is much higher than that of the evil road comics.

"So, teacher...... What is the subject matter of the royal road manga? Wang Wenhong asked.

"Basketball."

"Basketball?" Yan Fei couldn't help but shout.

"yes? What's wrong? ”

"It's not...... The theme of basketball, whether in District 11 or in China, has been overpainted. Teacher, will you ...... if you choose this theme" Yan Fei hesitated.

When Haruka Tamagawa serialized "Slam Dunk", she made a lot of suggestions. In her opinion, basketball comics should be the highest result of "Slam Dunk".

"However, the reason why there are so many works is because there are also many audiences. Like me, although I don't like to play basketball, I still watch basketball games. Therefore, I still think that although there are many basketball comics, neither District 11 nor Huaxia have a true classic. Wang Wenhong retorted.

Shen Xin rubbed his chin, the opinions of these two people conflicted, which was really rare.
