The publication of the 50th chapter of "Chess Soul" not only made many authors of "ComicFuture" feel pressure, but also set off a lot of waves in "Young Leap" - "Chess Soul" beat "Slam Dunk" and won the third place.

Among the comics introduced by "Shonen Leap", almost none of them have reached this achievement.

Of course, the reason why Episode 50 was able to achieve the third place in "Shonen Leap" is that the foreshadowing of Episode 48 and Episode 49 mobilized the reader's emotions early, and reached its peak in Episode 50.

In addition, after a year of tempering, Shen Xin's painting skills gradually coincided with Ken Kohata's painting style, and the tension of the picture was gradually revealed through Shen Xin's brush.

Haruka Tamagawa began to carefully study "Chess Soul" from the 48th chapter of "Chess Soul", from the storyboard, to the story structure, to the dialogue, and finally came to a conclusion - you can't learn it.

The current plot of "Slam Dunk" is also high. In the tide part, the protagonist's team is playing a 16-8 showdown in the national competition with last year's national runner-up.

Even so, "Slam Dunk" was surpassed by "Chess Soul" in the small book.

At this time, he remembered Yan Fei's previous opinion, once the pace in the early stage was too fast, high. The tide is repeated, then, when it comes to the key game, you will find the plot of the game, and it is difficult to make the reader more excited.

Now the protagonist's opponent is last year's runner-up, but the reader's mood is noticeably less than before.

Are readers also feeling tired?

Yuchuan Yao lay on the bed, tossing and turning and couldn't sleep, and finally, he couldn't help but send a message to Yan Fei.

Yan Fei had just taken a shower, dried her hair, changed into pajamas, and was about to rest, but she saw her phone light up, and it was a message from Haruka Tamagawa.

"Mr. Yan, "Slam Dunk" was surpassed by "Chess Soul", which is this issue of "Young Leap"."

When Yan Fei saw this news, her expression became serious.

"Chess Soul" is in District 11...... Will it be so popular?

However, in the last few episodes, the quality of "Chess Soul" is indeed very high. But the plot of "Slam Dunk" is also very good.

"The plot of "Slam Dunk" is no problem, isn't it now competing with the runner-up of the last year?" Yan Fei asked by typing.

"yes, and the staggered rise of the scores on both sides should excite the reader. But this little book was still surpassed by "Chess Soul". ”

When Yan Fei saw this line of words, she knew what the problem was.

"You're asking me what I'm going to do?"

"Hmm."

"My advice is, go at the current pace."

"Why?"

"This is determined by the tone of the manga, and "Chess Soul" is destined to have a hard time maintaining a fast pace for a long time. Therefore, the plot will slow down later. ”

"Is that so?"

Regardless of whether what Yan Fei said was true or not, Yuchuan Haruka saw the explanation given by Yan Fei, and his heart was indeed much more relaxed.

"Hmm. Rather than worrying about whether or not you will be surpassed by "Chess Soul", I think your biggest problem is how to attract readers in key games. ”

In a word!

This is where Haruka Tamagawa's biggest headache lies.

"Teacher Yan, what's the best way?"

"Twists and turns...... The final just had a few more twists and turns. The game of basketball can be affected by many factors, some of which are unavoidable, such as injuries, referees, or provocations from players and spectators. In each case, there are countless plot developments. ”

"But if that's the case, the plot of "Slam Dunk" is closer to reality."

"It doesn't matter, it's how you get the reader emotional." After Yan Fei sent this message, she typed another line.

"Chess Soul does a good job in this regard, you can ......"

This line was typed halfway and was deleted by Yan Fei.

A good cartoonist should have his own judgment, and if he relies on the editor for everything, then sooner or later he will be ruined by the editor.

"yes, I see."

After Haruka Yuchuan replied to this sentence, he turned over and looked at the ceiling, thinking back to Yan Fei's suggestion just now.

……

From episode 51, the score of "Chess Soul" dropped again, and the position was in fourth or fifth place.

Shen Xin is also mentally prepared for this.

After the duel between Ryo Taya and the throne between the seats, for a long time, there will not be too exciting plots.

In fact, before the professional chess exam, there was also a rookie match, but the rookie game only had two words, so it was not a big plot.

In contrast, what Shen Xin values more is the "Honinbo" title battle between Ogata Seiji 9th Dan and Kuwabara Ren.

From the game you use to the background of the game, you need to take it seriously. The duel between these two is a rare high-quality game in "Chess Soul", and if you are not careful, you may be seen by professionals.

After the duel between the two, it was Hikaru Fuji's professional Go exam, and at the same time, it was also the beginning of Shen Xin's first place in "ComicFuture".

The fixed stage races in China are not fixed, usually in July or August for half a month, and the location is not unique, and even two years apart will not be held in the same province.

Xie Shiqi is going to the fixed stage competition to collect materials this year, so some work needs to be completed in advance.

During the time she was away, if she encountered a problem that could not be solved, Xie Chengbo would also help sort it out.

After the college entrance examination, Xi Muhan came to Hongchuan to help take care of the housework, and at the same time, waited for the results of the college entrance examination.

The school she chose was Yenching University, the best university in China.

Shen Xin was very worried about Xi Muhan's results, and when the final score came down, Xi Muhan's college entrance examination score exceeded the score line of previous years by more than 20 points.

He puffed out his cheeks, unable to figure out why this little girl was so powerful, and in the end he could only comfort himself with "this is talent".

Then, Xi Muhan only needs to wait quietly for the admission letter.

Within two days after the results came out, the editor of "The Lightest Whisper" contacted Xi Muhan. Shen Xin was a little uneasy and asked Lu Ning to accompany her.

In the evening, the two returned to the studio exhausted, sat on the couch, and gasped for breath.

"I'm definitely not going out at noon in the summer." Xi Muhan rested for four or five minutes, and his complexion improved a little.

"So, there are advantages to the dead house." Gao Hang, as a senior "home" guest, looked proud.

Lu Ning glared at Gao Hang weakly, and finally sighed.

"How?"

"Well, I didn't say anything to death, I just said that I would go back and discuss it with my family." As he spoke, Xi Muhan took out a contract from his backpack and handed it to Shen Xin.

Shen Xin is actually very helpless about the contract, including before the crossing, there are many unreasonable things in the contract signed, but this is the reality, before the creator really gets up, he is not qualified to negotiate conditions with the platform.

This is true for web authors, but also for cartoonists.

The contract that Xi Muhan gave him is not much different from the contract of comics, the difference is that this contract is not the time it was signed, but a work, of course, other income, including single books, film and television adaptations, adaptations into comics or production of animation, Xi Muhan has different degrees of sharing.

Some are similar to sharing contracts in the network, but with a slight difference.

The sharing contract relies on readers' subscriptions, and this contract provides Xi Muhan with a manuscript fee of 200 words per 1,000 words.
