355. Suspicious
In the middle of April, with the publication of a new issue of Fantasy, the new content of Chess Soul finally met with readers.
Many of them were brought over by Amway because they watched the animation.,Plus I was shocked by reading the story of Sawei defeating Taya Xingyang in the last issue.,I can't help but look forward to it at the same time.,Even Sawei,Taya Xingyang,Ogata and other masters can't see the flaws.,But only Ah Guang can see it.,Is it finally Ah Guang's turn to break out here?
So fans of Chess Soul are looking forward to it like this.
However, after they read the new issue of "Chess Soul", the seeds of uneasiness were planted, planted in the soil of everyone's hearts, and suddenly took root and sprouted, making people feel unprepared.
The reason is that Sawei used Sai's name to defeat Taya Yukihiro on the Internet, and the latter had promised to retire from the Go world once he lost, and now that he is a proverb, Ah Guang, who is deeply disturbed, goes to the hospital with Sawei to visit Yukiyo, intending to persuade him to change his mind.
However, this was rejected by the serious Taya Yukihiro, who asked Hikari to fight Sai again.
At this point, there is no problem with the development of the plot, and it is estimated that everyone still wants to see the battle between Zuo Wei and Xingyang again, but what caught people off guard is that after this, unlike when he tried his best to fight with Taya Xingyang, this time Zuo Wei, who went to visit Xingyang with Ah Guang, became very quiet.
When Ah Guang was thinking, maybe he could occasionally let Zuo Wei play chess with Xiao Liang's father, but Zuo Wei showed a look of embarrassment and pain, as a ghost, Zuo Wei, who had wandered in the world for thousands of years because of his desire to play chess, once again felt that the time of his existence flowed ruthlessly again.
Especially after listening to Taya Yukihiro's answer.
"Retirement is not a big deal for me, but it allows me to get rid of trivial things and stop being a boring interview. I'm not saying I'm not going to play chess anymore because I still have this physical ......"
The reader seemed to be substituted for Zuo Wei, and felt his inner wavering at that moment.
"Even if it's not a title fight, I still play chess seriously, and yesterday's fight is the best proof that I can play such good chess against unknown people."
It's obviously the right thing, but every sentence is like a sharp knife that pierces into the hearts of readers.
But what is surprising is that Zuo Wei's reaction is surprisingly quiet, he no longer spoils Ah Guang as before, nor does he make any more noises to play chess, he just calm, quiet, listening, as if accepting his fate.
At this point, the plot was terminated because Ogata who came to visit the sick and planned to listen to Sai's news was invasive, but this is like pouring boiling water directly into the oil pot, and the readers have already exploded.
"What does this mean, is this a hint that Sawei is going to hang?"
"No kidding, author!"
"It's okay, this is a shonen comic, just think about how many times the protagonist Wukong in the Dragon Pig has died, here must be the author's suspicion."
"That's it, the name of this comic is "Chess Soul", if such an important character as Zuo Wei disappears, what else will you see?"
If this time is just a little sign of it, and fans will be suspicious and can still use such an excuse to comfort themselves and others, then when the next word of the chess soul comes out, it completely destroys the luck of the fans.
The proof of this is the heart-wrenching wry smile of Sayu when Ogata chases Hikari and asks him to arrange for him to fight Sai.
Also, when Ah Guang smiled and said to Zuo Wei: "Don't worry, there is time anyway." ”
Zuo Wei's silence.
And that heart-piercing sentence -
Ah Guang has time, but I don't.
At Mr. Morishita's Go seminar, Ah Hikari reviewed and solved the game of chess on the Internet of Sawei and Xingyang, which was appreciated by everyone.
The silent Zuowei, the silence is heart-wrenching.
"Ah Guang's talent and strength, not only me, but also the people around me have begun to notice."
"And I saw a dazzling splendor shining on the head of Ah Guang, and ...... I don't have a future.'"
Then, the email and phone number of the Fantasy editorial office exploded.
Facts have proved how important it is for the editorial department to protect the privacy of the author.,Back then, Mr. Toriyama used his real name as a pen name to find out the phone number and was constantly harassed by phone calls.,Not to mention the fans who have become more and more irritable in recent years.,To send a blade or something.,Individual female authors who don't have good quality.,Was directly scared to cut off the originally popular serial.。
This incident has undoubtedly attracted the wide attention of the senior management of the editorial department, and the first to be held accountable is naturally Guo Pinyuan, the editor in charge of "Chess Soul".
"I'll just ask, what's going on?"
Duan Chang, who defeated his competitors and has now been promoted to editor-in-chief, sat in the editor-in-chief's room with a solemn expression, while Tong Cheng, another former deputy editor-in-chief, had also recently been removed to other magazines of the White Bird Society, and Mr. Ye Chuan, who had no hope of being promoted, took over the position of deputy editor-in-chief. (Another naturally vacant position was taken by Liu Xiang.) )
In order to gain a firm foothold in the position of editor-in-chief as soon as possible and make achievements upwards, Duan Changzai is also diligent as an editor-in-chief, and the sales of Fantasy magazine have also improved slightly since the beginning of the year, which can be regarded as a new year. As a result, he couldn't breathe a sigh of relief, and there was a problem with this stall immediately, and the problem was not those works that cats and dogs could cut in half at any time, but the popular works of "Chess Soul" that had good sales results and had a large number of fans on Fantasy.
To be honest, Duan Changzai had already shrewdly sniffed a breath of trouble.
Guo Pinyuan, who was standing in the editor-in-chief's room, glanced at Liu Xiang on the side, who was the deputy editor-in-chief who listened to the training together, but did not look back at him. Fortunately, Guo Pinyuan has been prepared for this question for a long time, and it is not too chaotic: "The chess soul intends to promote the plot of the next paragraph, and the reader's reaction is a little strong. ”
Such an understatement answer made Duan Changzai stunned for a moment, and began to reflect on whether he had found the wrong person, but he still remembered to maintain the editor-in-chief's shelf, frowned and said: "You call this a point, the readers of the chess soul are about to blow up the phone of the editorial department, let me ask you, is it true that the readers are reflecting that they want to write Zuo Wei to death?" ”
Although Guo Pinyuan wanted to complain that Zuo Wei himself was a ghost and had died a long time ago, in order to take care of the editor-in-chief's face, he couldn't help it and replied correctively: "According to the plot, Zuo Wei will indeed disappear next."
At this moment, Duan Changzai felt that his evidence was conclusive, and said: "This is just fooling, how can they draw such an important role as Zuo Wei...... What about disappearing? How many readers and popularity will be lost, they (authors) don't know, don't you, the editor-in-charge, know? ”
"But it's always been about highlighting the presence of the main character." Guo Pinyuan pretended to be aggrieved and said.
"For the main character?"
"Ah Guang, there is no doubt that Zuo Wei is an important role in the soul of chess, but after all, his existence is also to serve the protagonist, just like a child who needs to leave his parents one day and start his own career. For this, as the editor in charge of the chess soul, I really can't refute it. Although everyone may have put the cart before the horse, the protagonist of this book is Ah Guang, whose name was also called Light's Go when it was first submitted, and it was later decided after the editorial department discussed it and felt that the chess soul was more suitable. ”
When Guo Pinyuan said this, Duan Changzai also remembered it, because he also had a part in the discussion at that time.
He coughed and dropped a word.
Holding his chin with his hand, Duan Changzai asked uneasily, "What about the current chaos?" ”
"That's no way, Goku has died many times against Raditz and Sharu, and the others are even more hanging, the story, there are always ups and downs."
Saying this, Duan Changzai felt that there seemed to be some truth.
But he still had a hesitation on his face and asked, "How are you going to deal with the plot after that?" ”
"Teacher Liangyu said to let Ah Guang be depressed for a while, and then understood the importance of Zuo Wei to him, and then went to find Zuo Wei." Although he didn't tell the truth, Guo Pinyuan's words were not nonsense, but they were taken out of context a little.
Hearing this, Duan Changzai, who is the editor-in-chief, breathed a sigh of relief: "Suppress first and then promote, it turns out that this is the idea, I know." ”
In this regard, Guo Pinyuan, who finally passed a level, also secretly breathed a sigh of relief, but the editor-in-chief was better because he didn't know much about chess souls, but the other person was not so easy to fool.
When Guo Pinyuan, Liu Xiang and Mr. Ye Chuan came out of the editor-in-chief's room, Liu Xiang went to talk to other editors because of his own business, and Mr. Ye Chuan pulled Guo Pinyuan into a corner where no one was in a corner with a silent face.
"You tell me honestly, did you let Liu Xiang say that the chess soul is going to end?"
"It's not." Although he said such words, Guo Pinyuan nodded.
Mr. Ye Chuan opened his mouth, but found that he couldn't say anything, and the two stood quietly in the empty corridor for a while, and then Mr. Ye Chuan patted Guo Pinyuan on the shoulder and walked past him: "In this case, I won't ask, if there is anything you need my help with, just tell me." ”
"Yes."
