"What now?" Qian Sheng asked rhetorically.

"I don't know...... Looking at the current progress of "Steelcore", it will take a long time to finish...... Regardless of Mr. Tong, when "Steel Refining" is over, you must communicate with Mr. Shen. ”

"Then it depends on what price the website can offer." Qian Sheng muttered to himself.

"The question is not whether the website can afford the price, but whether Mr. Shen is willing to serialize on the multi-man network, which is the most critical." Yuan Zhe's expression was solemn.

Although Shen Xin had some small contradictions with them, none of these contradictions were irreconcilable, and strictly speaking, that dispute was indeed a loophole in the rules they formulated.

From the current point of view, Shen Xin is undoubtedly the most popular and high-quality cartoonist in China, if it is said that in China, Wang Yunze can barely keep up with Shen Xin, but abroad, the gap between other cartoonists and Shen Xin is too big.

It's never wise to get into too much trouble with the most famous cartoonist in the country.

Qian Sheng nodded, let's talk about this matter for the time being, how to talk about the specific conditions, we still have to wait until the end of "Steel Forge".

"Hmm...... By the way, "Brawl Dancing Queen" is over. Qian Sheng suddenly remembered this.

"Huh? So fast? Yuan Zhe was a little surprised.

"I didn't expect it, I guess I didn't win the award, the author is a little disheartened, right?" Qian Sheng speculated.

"It's really daring to do that kind of thing and want to win an award. By the way, how is the integrity of this manga? Yuan Zhe asked rhetorically.

"It's not bad, the author didn't scribble, but the end was hasty. However, this kind of thing is inevitable, and no one can guarantee that the quality of the comics will always be consistent. After all, comics are created continuously, and it is impossible for the mind and body to always maintain a state, and it is normal for the quality to fluctuate. ”

"That's just as well. By the way, how popular is it in District 11? ”

"It's okay, it's free after all, and the style of the story is more suitable for the 11th district."

"You say, will the company in District 11 do the copyright of this comic?"

"Will it?"

Qian Sheng's eyelids jumped, this kind of thing is too unreliable, if the company in District 11 will take a fancy to "Age of the Gods" or "Sky Wolf", he thinks it's not too much of a problem, but "Brawl Dancing Queen" ......

This comic is not even ranked in the top 30 on the website's click list, and if it is placed in a magazine, it is undoubtedly a work cut in half.

For such a comic, if you want to sell the copyright, it's a fool's dream.

Yuan Zhe took out a cigarette again and muttered to himself, "Who knows? ”

thought of "Brawl Dancing Queen", and Yuan Zhe remembered "Minecraft" again.

In addition to the fact that the comic is updated slowly, it can't gather popularity, but in other respects, it's still very good.

That author...... It's a pity.

Yuan Zhe took a sharp puff of cigarette and sighed.

The author Zuo Yuan, who was remembered by Yuan Zhe, is also struggling to paint at the moment.

After name was recognized by Yan Fei, in addition to the time he spent as an assistant, at other times, Zuo Yuan focused on his new work.

After the name is confirmed, there are only eleven or twelve days left before the deadline for the Chinese New Year Cup.

In such a short period of time, it is difficult to complete a 32-page sketch.

Zuo Yuan used almost all the time he spent sleeping, sleeping only 3 to 4 hours a day on average, and sometimes even lying on the workbench and taking a nap for more than half an hour before continuing to work.

"It's too late for you to give up...... You know, after the serialization, this kind of routine is your normal state. Yan Fei put the refreshing drink she bought on the wall, looked at Zuo Yuan with a tired face, and sighed in her heart.

"Don't, this kind of life...... Exactly what I aspire to. Zuo Yuan shook his head, "Teacher Yan, do you know?" Cartoonist is a profession that can be 'made out of nothing', and before I put pen to paper, there was no such story in this world. Teacher Yan, this is the dream. ”

And so it was......

Yan Fei already knew Zuo Yuan's decision, but when she heard Zuo Yuan say it himself, she couldn't help but sigh in her heart.

"There's seven days left until the deadline." Yan Fei reminded.

"That's not critical...... All I knew was that I had to devote myself to comics. ”

"Oh, by the way, Teacher Han Ye said, you can not come next week. Count you on vacation......" Yan Fei told Zuo Yuan the news.

The G pen in Zuo Yuan's hand stopped, and the ink went along the tip of the pen, soaking the original paper.

He hurriedly took out a tissue, dipped the ink on the manuscript paper, and used the correction fluid to erase the dirty parts, the thought of rejection flashed through his mind, and he immediately shook his head and took a deep breath, "Got it...... Thank you Ms. Xu and Ms. Han. ”

Yan Fei was also a little more relaxed.

originally thought that he would refuse, but now it seems that Zuo Yuan is also slowly changing.

"In that case, then I won't bother you."

Teacher Yan...... Thank you......" Zuo Yuan said softly.

"If you really thank me, give good grades." Yan Fei said seriously.

"Definitely!" Zuo Yuan's voice was loud and his eyes were resolute.

After Yan Fei left, Zuo Yuan took out his mobile phone and found one of the photos, a beautiful woman was holding a little girl's hand and walking forward.

The little girl's eyes were large, and her little hands were holding her mother's hand tightly, but her eyes were looking elsewhere.

Soon...... Soon it will be fine......

Zuo Yuan put away his phone, picked up the brush again, and drew the sketch carefully.

……

After "Steel Forge" broke one million in a single week, Shen Xin suddenly became busy.

Not only do you have to face heavy work, but you also have to face interviews that will appear at any time.

Once in a while, Shen Xin can still accept it, but it is impossible for him to take time to deal with these reporters.

In the end, Shen Xin had to apply to the magazine for "a two-week suspension for interviews", and the magazine realized the seriousness of the problem and canceled all the interviews that had been scheduled.

With the current popularity of "Steel Refining", a two-week suspension of publication will bring a lot of losses to the magazine, especially the reason for taking leave is "to cope with interviews".

If the reason is known by readers, it is estimated that the brand of "Comic Future" can be picked up by readers.

There was no reporter who appeared, and Shen Xin got a little peace of mind.

After "Steel Forged" entered November, it finally ended the "Ishvar Annihilation War", and the "anti-war" connotation in the story was also clearly expressed through this plot.

At the same time, Scar takes Zhang Mei and Dr. Margo, who was rescued from the androids, to the north to find the notes left by his brother.

If the first part is the setting that Aunt Niu will carefully design, telling through various events, then in the second half, especially after entering the Northern Fortress, the rhythm of the story gradually becomes faster, showing a completely different style from the previous one.
