"Teacher Shen, how is it?" Shang Haozhi asked in a low voice.

"Yes, as long as you can help the comics with the necessary needs." Shen Xin nodded.

Having said all this, the most important thing is that the consultant can have a stable time every week to check the manuscript. Because the manga has to be updated every week, if the consultant has too many things to do, he often has to go to other places, and the effect is not as good as that of a less famous chess player who doesn't go out often.

Xie Chengbo nodded slightly, got up and dialed the phone.

Shen Xin also took advantage of this time to take a sip of tea.

After a while, the door was pushed open, and the girl who had just played Go with Zhen Xi walked into the office.

"Grandpa, are you looking for me?" The girl asked in a whisper.

"Well, you sit down first." Xie Chengbo pointed to the single sofa on one side and said.

The girl didn't know why, and sat down a little confused.

At this moment, the girl's eyes were slightly red, and it seemed that losing to Zhen Xi just now really made it difficult for her to accept.

"This is my granddaughter, her name is Xie Shiqi, I have already introduced it just now, and her career is three paragraphs." Xie Chengbo said.

Shen Xin and the three of them also introduced themselves.

"That's right, they're going to draw a Go comic, but they don't know much about Go, so if they want to find a consultant, I recommend you." Xie Chengbo explained.

"I ...... I can't, right? Xie Shiqi shook her head, depressed.

"We only have one day a week, a maximum of two days, and we will pay for it." Shen Xin hurriedly said.

"No...... It's not about money. I...... I don't think I have that kind of strength. Xie Shiqi bit her lip, "After all, I can't even compare to a child." ”

Shen Xin and Wang Wenhong glanced at each other, but they didn't expect Xie Shiqi's heart knot to be here.

"Miss Xie, the most wonderful thing about Go is that it does not measure the strength of a player by age or rank. I remember that when Zhen Duo first won the title of 'Tian Yuan', he had just turned 18 years old, and his opponent was over 30 years old. Therefore, it is not embarrassing to lose to a player who is smaller than yourself, just do your best. Go also pays attention to self-cultivation. The more you care, the more you lose. Shang Haozhi said with a serious face.

Shen Xin looked at Shang Haozhi in surprise, this editor-in-chief's reaction was too fast, right?

"Moreover, I am also very confident in this work, and it may even set off a 'Go fever' in China. If you're not convinced, take a look at the name. Shang Haozhi pushed the envelope to Xie Shiqi's side.

Xie Shiqi was entangled in her heart and didn't really want to take the envelope, but when she heard Shang Haozhi mention "Go fever", her fingers couldn't help but touch the envelope.

Recent ...... In the past few years, there are indeed a lot fewer people learning Go, and even fewer children who aspire to become professional chess players. In particular, the annual "Go Fixed-stage Tournament" is like a big mountain blocking all young chess players. Of course, the people who studied Go with her all fell there and had to give up Go and find another way to make a living.

Shang Haozhi's words immediately reminded Xie Shiqi of the time before her scheduled competition.

"Uncle, will you lie to me?" Xie Shiqi asked.

"I never lie." Shang Haozhi said seriously.

Wang Wenhong rubbed his forehead, and the editor-in-chief began to "act" again.

Xie Shiqi picked up the envelope, she didn't know anything.

In fact, it's not just her, as long as she hasn't been in contact with this circle, few people will know the meaning of name, but this doesn't prevent her from understanding the content of the first three words.

Name is just a sketch of a manga, and most manga artists don't draw it in too much detail, because if they are not satisfied, they need to be redrawn.

Shen Xin did the same, just roughly drew an image, with a few brushstrokes in the background, and was not careful.

Xie Shiqi finished reading the three words in one go, and she was a little unsatisfied.

"Is there anything else in the back?" Xie Shiqi raised her head and asked in surprise.

"It's gone. These three episodes are used to submit to the serialization meeting, and the next step is to draw these three episodes into the original manuscript. As you can see, there are some chess games in these three episodes, so I need professional advice and guidance. Of course, you can also use the game of Go that you have played with others. Shen Xin explained.

"That's right...... It's a pity, I really want to see the next episode. Xie Shiqi was a little entangled.

"If you're willing to be a consultant, you'll be able to see the name in the first place, even faster than my editor-in-charge." Shen Xin said.

"Huh?"

Wang Wenhong's eyelids jumped, but after thinking about it again, what Shen Xin said was right, the consultant did read it earlier than him, otherwise there would be no way to complete the original manuscript.

He thought he would be the first person to see the name other than the manga artist, but he forgot that there was also an advisor.

Miscalculated.

Shen Xin's words made Xie Shiqi a little moved. She sorted out the name and prepared to put it in the envelope, when she suddenly found that there were five or six more pages of drafts inside.

Xie Shiqi took out the manuscript, and the first thing she saw was Zuo Wei's character design.

The character on the name is just an outline, and it is not very clear, but the character setting is much clearer, and Zuo Wei's elegant and delicate image immediately attracted her attention.

"Wait...... I want to ask, is this person called 'Zuowei' the person who holds the fan on the cover? Xie Shiqi took the sketch of the character design and asked Shen Xin in surprise.

"That's right." Shen Xin nodded.

Xie Shiqi's favorability for "Chess Soul" increased sharply, and then she looked at other characters and nodded again and again.

"Xiaoqi, how are you? Interested? Xie Chengbo saw Xie Shiqi's previous frustration, so he asked in a low voice.

"I'm afraid of disappointing them." Xie Shiqi is not so sure.

"You can just use these things as 'looking at pictures and crosswords', and you can choose the right game according to the meaning of the context, and then provide some professional knowledge of Go, photos of the dojo, the chess club and the game." Shang Haozhi persuaded him.

"I ...... Try it, right? Xie Shiqi glanced at the name in his hand and said in a low voice.

"Thank you very much." Shen Xin breathed a sigh of relief, finally found a consultant, and then he could officially start drawing the original manuscript.

"This is the case now because we have to set an update date as soon as possible, and the time is tight. In addition, although you have been invited to serve as a consultant, I hope you can understand that the name and original art cannot leave the studio or appear on the Internet until the work is published. Shang Haozhi explained.

"No problem." Xie Shiqi nodded repeatedly, "Although I haven't been a comic consultant, I still know the confidentiality agreement." ”

"The details of the contract, let's talk about it in the studio, Xiao Wang, you can contact Miss Xie tomorrow, is it okay?" Shang Haozhi explained.

Wang Wenhong nodded, "I see." ”

"Mr. Shen, please also complete the original manuscript as soon as possible, and we can prepare to cut the comics in half."

"No problem." Shen Xin also bowed slightly.

After finalizing these matters, the three of them also offered to take their leave.

Xie Chengbo and Xie Shiqi sent the two of them out of the dojo all the time, and then turned back.
