275. Unsatisfactory results
For the second place, Chen Nan was really not satisfied.
Although the other party is the first place in the Red Dragon Award, and there is the bonus of the homepage, the key is that "Chess Soul" has so many fans, although the number of readers is not as good as the royal comics of "Dragon Sword", which are bloody battles, but the focus is on the high cohesion of fans, which makes her want to use this strong return momentum to stabilize her ranking in Fantasy.
But in the end, she only got the second place, which made her feel like a chicken rib.
However, this score is not bad, in fact, it is less than 10 votes short of the first place "Killing Game", and Fantasy's reader survey statistics are conducted according to sampling, maybe if you change the survey, "Chess Soul" will surpass "Killing Game" to grab the first place.
But it's useless to dwell on these now, the first issue of the reissue has the publicity in the magazine, posting, and the fans in the forum are stirring up the atmosphere, so the number of votes is a little inflated, Chen Nan knows that the next step is the time to fight for strength.
She didn't do nothing this week, Liang Yu said that she wanted to speed up the story and create contradictions and plots. Chao's proposal she raised her hands and feet in favor, Chen Nan had long felt that "Chess Soul" was too tepid, and now, she is following Liang Yu's changed script and began to draw the rest of the content.
Then Chen Nan has completed the three words of the manuscript, and the plot brings through the story of Ah Guang slowly getting up from the bottom in the chess courtyard, overcoming difficulties step by step, rising to a group, and then competing with those students who once seemed extremely powerful.
If you follow Liang Yu in the past, you will definitely set the story step by step, instead of using a spring and autumn penmanship to skip this plot. But I have to say, so the plot has become a lot more compact, and the next content is the escalation of contradictions, and Ah Guang, who has been mixed up in the muddy nightmares, thinks he has been promoted, but learned from his companions that Xiao Liang has passed the professional chess exams with an overwhelming victory and officially entered the chess world.
In this regard, Ah Guang, who was stimulated to compete, also loudly announced that he would compete for the only three selected places that year.
The plot became confusing and tense all of a sudden, and after Chen Nan read this script, a long-lost smile of joy appeared on his face, and the separation between him and Liang Yu also dissolved a lot.
In her opinion, this plot will definitely earn a lot of points for their works.
However, Chen Nan was still a little worried, so it seemed that the three words she had drawn in advance were quite bloated and cumbersome, but because the drawings had already been handed over to Guo Pinyuan, Chen Nan also held a kind of "it shouldn't matter" mentality, and suppressed his idea of wanting to overthrow it completely.
Because even if her painting skills are becoming more and more refined, this kind of thing can never be cut corners, once there is a lazy mind, then it will be faithfully reflected on the picture, how much to pay or how much, nothing more than after the painting skills are proficient, the time she spent has been busy from the past 7 days a week, shortened to only 4-5 days now, if you can not change, naturally save a lot of time and trouble.
But when the ranking of the second episode of "Chess Soul" came out after the republication, Chen Nan slapped himself fiercely.
Sixth place.
After just a few words, he was kicked out of the top five circles, looking at the "Killing Game" that he thought was only through the Red Dragon Award and the jackpot, although the first place was retaken by Gu Chengfeng's "Dragon Sword", but it was still ranked third, which was the position of "Chess Soul".
On the night he got the news, Chen Nan silently tore off the original manuscript that he had drawn, then turned on the desk lamp and began to draw on the manuscript paper without stopping.
However, Liang Yu didn't know at this time.
People's hearts are always separated by the belly, even if Liang Yu is naturally smart, but not everything can be predicted accurately. In her opinion, the sixth place in "Chess Soul" is not bad, because this is almost the ranking position before they closed the publication, at best, it means that they have wrung out the water of propaganda and color page addition, and returned to the starting line, as for the future, she has given a new storyboard content, and it will take time to test whether it is success or failure.
But Chen Nan didn't think so, in her opinion, Liang Yu had already done what she had to do, and next, she had to assume her obligations and responsibilities. Chen Nan's pride and her withdrawn personality once again rejected this collaborator from the emotional fence.
After Guo Pinyuan saw the new draft handed to him by Chen Nan, he took a look at Chen Nan's haggard face, and noticed the reason why the original manuscript was different. In all fairness, this manuscript has accelerated the pace and is indeed better than the previous one, but the question is, in Guo Pinyuan's view, the quality of the previous manuscript is not bad, is it really necessary to sacrifice his rest time and bet all the treasures on this victory and defeat?
To be honest, it's not that the desperate cartoonist Guo Pinyuan has never seen it, but an author like Chen Nan, who has both talent and strength, and has to fight so hard, is the only one in his life. It seems that if God doesn't give her an explanation, then you owe her, but the problem is that many things in this world are not taken for granted, and it is very likely that you will end up doing your best, and you are not as good as others who only work hard like you.
Guo Pinyuan felt that this was an obsession, and Chen Nan's obsession was far from being comparable to ordinary people.
Although from the standpoint of the editor, I can't tell the author that you don't want to paint, but as an existence who is also a teacher and a friend, Guo Pinyuan still couldn't help but say: "Chen Nan, the original manuscript is very good this time, but are you a little too hard, you have just been discharged from the hospital, and the doctor has also told you not to work too hard......"
"I'm fine." But Chen Nan replied briefly, then sat back in his place and continued to draw the original manuscript of the next issue.
He felt the need to talk to Liang Yu about this matter, but as everyone knows, Chen Nan worked hard, and Liang Yu, who was in charge of the original work, was not having a good time.
The reason has also been said before.
One is that Comiket is preparing for Winter with two months to go, and the second thing is that there is still the original manuscript of "Margaeryline" to be rushed, and there is no ambiguity at all. And Huang Yuan, the magazine's deputy editor-in-chief, also told Liang Yu that Margalilyn seemed to be interested in arranging an interview with her recently.
This is the interview Q&A on the magazine, which is generally the treatment that only celebrities have, but I didn't expect Liang Yu, an out-and-out newcomer, to also have the opportunity to show up. She didn't want to agree much, but under the persuasion of Huang Yuanhao's bad words and promised that she didn't need to show her face, she reluctantly agreed, but it was foreseeable that Liang Yu's lack of time was squeezed even more.
