After China Kotani learned that "SLAM DUNK" would end in 6 words, the whole person immediately became uncomfortable.

He also heard Yan Fei remind him that "SLAM DUNK" will end in the second half of the year, but when a time is very vague, he always feels that this time will be far away, and it will not happen for a while, and once this time is determined, it will be another situation - imminent.

Kotani Senna didn't have time to eat, so he left the noodle shop and called Tachibana Sentry.

Tachibana Gin just took the subway home, and when he saw Kotani Sena's phone, he was a little surprised, and he couldn't get through in the subway, so he had to hang up, but Kotani Senna immediately called again.

There is no way, Tachibana can only text Sena Kotani to ask what happened.

"There are still six episodes left in SLAM DUNK."

“……”

Tachibana looked at this text message, his scalp was numb, and he just wanted to call back, only to remember that he was on the subway, and he could only hold his phone tightly.

As soon as he arrived at the next station, Tachibana Shin got out of the subway and called Chimei Kotani.

"What the hell is going on?"

"No, just now, Wang Wenhong called me and told me that "SLAM DUNK" will end in 6 words......"

"But...... How can it end like this? Tachibana asked rhetorically.

"Before, Yan Fei said that the second half of the year will be over, and it is estimated that now that the name has come out, there should be 6 more words. There is a clause in the contract that does not prevent the end of SLAM DUNK. China Kotani patiently explained.

Tachibana Gentry wanted to scold, who would agree to such a boring condition. But then I also thought that if I didn't agree, I'm afraid "Shonen Leap" wouldn't have a chance to sign "SLAM DUNK".

"Okay, we'll talk about it tomorrow, and today, I'll contact Comic Future first."

Hanging up the phone, Tachibana Shen was worried again.

He said that he was in contact with "Comic Future", but he didn't understand Huaxia, how should he communicate?

In desperation, Tachibana had to call Wang Wenhong and ask him the reason.

And Wang Wenhong also thought that Tachibana Shen would call after talking to Kotani Qianming on the phone, and now when he saw Tachibana Shen's call, he and Yan Fei exchanged glances, and after saying "Tachibana Sentry", they connected the phone.

"I HEARD THAT SLAM DUNK IS GOING TO END SOON?"

Tachibana Gentry didn't have the time to say polite words to Wang Wenhong, so he went straight to the point.

"That's right, there are 6 more words."

"Why?" Tachibana asked.

"No why, Mr. Shen thinks there is nothing to draw."

"You can also draw stories about the second and third grades of ikebana. There are also new characters, new plots...... How can you say that there is nothing to paint? Xiangbei has not won the championship yet. ”

But in this way, the story will also become very bloated, and in order for the protagonist to face stronger opponents, it is necessary to bring in more powerful players, but Zebei is already at the top of high school students, and the players who are more powerful than him mean that there will be some unreasonable situations. Therefore, if you draw any further, the story will fall apart. Teacher Shen didn't want to do that. ”

"However, you can still draw the game of the national youth team, right?"

"The background of "SLAM DUNK" is high school basketball, and from the beginning of Mr. Shen's writing, he did not consider the national youth team. I'm sorry if this annoys you. Moreover, in Mr. Shen's view, the integrity of a comic is more important. Therefore, it was decided to end after 6 episodes. ”

Wang Wenhong has thought about it a long time ago.

IT IS TRUE THAT SLAM DUNK CAN INDEED CONTINUE TO DRAW IF IT STANDS ON THE EARNINGS OF THE MANGA, HOWEVER, SLAM DUNK IS BY FAR THE BEST COMPLETE. Although "SLAM DUNK" is based on ikebana, Mu Gangxian and Shan Jing Shou are also an important part of this manga, as are Yuzhu and Makishiichi. But after the national competition, it means that this part of the people is leaving, which means that "SLAM DUNK" is no longer complete.

From this point of view, SLAM DUNK is indeed very fitting at this point.

In addition, standing in Wang Wenhong's position, because he is one of the closest people to Shen Xin, he also understands that Shen Xin spent a lot of energy when painting "SLAM DUNK".

The art of "Chess Soul", "Steel Chain" and "DN" is also outstanding, but these three comics have some differences from "SLAM DUNK", the first three have a more gorgeous painting style, while "SLAM DUNK" has a more realistic style, with large scenes and spreads, and a lot of space, which is placed on the game, so there is no such thing as laziness.

If SLAM DUNK can be finished in a very suitable place, then, in his opinion, it is also a good choice - at least to ensure the integrity of the classic.

"But...... Is there really no room for manoeuvre? ”

"At that time, "Steel Refining" was also a big hit, and Mr. Shen didn't hesitate at the end of the day, so I guess this time it was no different. Mr. Shen is working on the name of the last word. Wang Wenhong patiently explained.

"But...... Can you let me talk to Mr. Shen? ”

"That's fine, but there's one thing I'd like to remind the editor-in-chief of Tachibana...... If you insist too much, you may fall out with Mr. Shen. After all, you did it to us once in the matter of animation. So, it's very likely that you won't have a good chance to do it...... As you know, now that paper magazines are going downhill, we will also have a variety of considerations. ”

said it was a reminder, but in fact, Wang Wenhong was knocking on the Tachibana gentry.

At the beginning, due to the animation production of "SLAM DUNK", Shen Xin and Wang Wenhong were not very happy, and this matter is still on the books, but it has not been opened yet.

The two sides did not have a stalemate, whether Shen Xin's next comic is still serialized on "Youth Leap", it is still unknown, if the two sides have an unpleasant quarrel again, the next comic basically has nothing to do with "Youth Leap".

Tachibana grubbed his forehead, a little headache.

Of course he remembered that incident. Not only was Shen Xin unhappy, but it also involved the top management and "Comic Future".

He can even be sure that even if Shen Xin's next comic is still serialized on "Shonen Leap", the contract between the two parties will definitely be refinalized.

He has the heart to refuse the end of "SLAM DUNK", but Shen Xin doesn't necessarily listen to him, and the three comics serialized in "Shonen Leap", "Chess Soul", "Steel Forge and SLAM DUNK", each of which has a high sales volume, so it is cost-effective or not cost-effective to have a stalemate with Shen Xin?

Another point, Wang Wenhong is right, paper magazines are indeed sluggish, and I am afraid that the situation of paper comics will get worse and worse in the future.

In this case, the weight of good works and good cartoonists will become more and more important, and the platforms for cartoonists to choose from will also increase.

"Then ......" Tachibana opened his mouth and gave up the direct conversation with Shen Xin, "Then Mr. Shen's next comic, when will there be?" ”

"It could be fast, it could be slow."

"Huh? What do you mean? Tachibana immediately had a sense of energy.

After all, Shen Xin also had the experience of opening comics in a row, and it is possible to open the next comic.

"It's nothing. Mr. Shen will have a work on the theme of cartoonists in the next few months after the end of "SLAM DUNK", but it is tentatively scheduled to be a monthly update, and the real weekly magazine may not be in two or three years. ”

"What?"

The muscles on Tachibana's face twitched.

Monthly update, I'm afraid it can't be serialized on "Shonen Leap", right?
