305. Chess soul, chess soul
After the beginning of the month, the ranking of "Chess Soul" began to rise.
Guo Pinyuan looked at the chess soul ranked 3rd, and the joy in his heart was indescribable, although this is only a quick report, maybe there is some gap with this newspaper, but he still can't wait to call the two authors to report the good news, think about it, this week "Chess Soul" does not have a jackpot or interviews and other bonuses, how to say, it should be the result of accumulation.
But whether it is Chen Nan or Liang Yu, they are even more indifferent to this result than expected.
Chen Nan just said, "I know", and Liang Yu just smiled, although they didn't meet, they could hear a trace of tiredness in her voice.
"What's wrong, between you and Chen Nan?" Although at the last annual meeting, Chen Nan left Xi Liang Yu halfway and claimed that she was not feeling well, and later called to confirm this, but Guo Pinyuan is also a 30-year-old person, not so naïve, especially Liang Yu's lonely look, which still makes him remember it vividly.
However, the matter between them, Guo Pinyuan, as the editor in charge, is actually very clear, but after all, he is not only responsible for this combination, but also for the two girls, a lot of words are not easy to say, I originally thought that the rise in the ranking of the chess soul this time was an opportunity, but I didn't expect that "Chess Soul" has reached such a dangerous point?
But Liang Yu's tone was very light: "It's nothing, it's just that I've been feeling a little tired recently, but it doesn't matter, compared to Chen Nan, I'm very relaxed, so I'll stick to it." ”
"Really?" Guo Pinyuan is still not at ease.
"Hmm." But Liang Yu answered him with a smile.
"Is it......" Hearing her say so surely, Guo Pinyuan was finally relieved, because compared to Chen Nan, in his impression, Liang Yu was relatively soft and old-fashioned, if Chen Nan was compared to a stubborn stone that did not hit the south wall and did not look back, then Liang Yu should be regarded as a drop of water flowing downstream.
So far, Guo Pinyuan has not continued to explore the bottom line, after all, he is just an editor, and among the people he is in charge of, there are far more than Liang Yu and Chen Nan, and there are more newcomers who need his help. In his opinion, Liang Yu and Chen Nan are already old-timers and should be able to handle their own problems.
And,Soon after, there was another good news.,Planned by Xijing TV,PierrotStudio Animation of the Chess Soul,From July to January, exactly after the end of half a year.,At this time,The other party has officially submitted the animation production plan for the second season to the White Bird Society Fantasy magazine.,It's expected to continue to be broadcast in April.。
This news made Guo Pinyuan extremely excited, although it is still in the negotiation stage, but because both parties are familiar with each other's partners, and there is no problem with the content of this cooperation, it should be said that it is smooth sailing.
It's completely different from the declining trend of comics,Chess Soul has always been among the best in the ratings of Xijing TV,So the sequel to Chess Soul animation is also logical,In fact,Guo Pinyuan once cheered Chen Nan and Liang Yu before,The reason why "Chess Soul" will never be cut is here,The real strength of "Chess Soul" lies in the ratings of the animation and the sales of a single book,Comics that can sell more than one million results in a single volume,Even if the ranking in the magazine is lower,,It won't be cut,In the end, Fantasy is a commercial comic magazine, and since it is a professional, it will not look at the silver in vain and not make money.
For the author, this is also a form of feedback and expression on behalf of popularity and strength, which can not only get a lot of royalties, but also play an unparalleled role in promoting the sales and popularity of the single book.
It stands to reason that no author's work is animated, but for Liang Yu and Chen Nan, some things are different from the past.
By the middle of January, Liang Yu became more and more busy, on the one hand, because Margaret had dragged out two issues of the manuscript, and now she has to work hard to fill the hole (Huang Yuan asked for a leave of absence for her, but later when Liang Yu made up her mind to pick up the old pen, although she didn't catch up with the help of everyone from the club), on the other hand, it was also because this year's Chinese New Year was relatively early, in January, so the closer to the end of the semester, the busier some trivial matters of the school became.
But Liang Yu actually knew very well that this was just an excuse for her to delay not seeing Chen Nan.
Although he made a phone call and sent a text message, and heard the other party say that he would continue to draw "Chess Soul" until the end, to be honest, Liang Yu did not feel relieved at all, but felt a little blocked in his heart.
Chen Nan's obsession with this work may never be understood, if she says that she wants to cooperate with others, Liang Yu will not feel that this is her willfulness and betrayal, because Liang Yu feels that if it is Chen Nan, even if she opens two works at the same time, she will handle it very well.
Of course, if Liang Yu wants to say it, the partner should not be the guy named Tang Xuan, because she hates that person, but if that person can really help Chen Nan, Liang Yu doesn't mind, she is not really so careful.
This is Liang Yu's true words.
But Chen Nan said.
"No matter what happens in the future, I must finish drawing 'Chess Soul'."
What exactly did she put in this, her dream? Ideal? Or is it her expectation?
Liang Yu couldn't answer, yes, she couldn't think about the problem as emotionally as Huang Yuan said, although she once said that she wanted to become a cartoonist, and she has worked it so far.
But as a former social person, as well as his understanding of the industry, and in his conversations with other people, Liang Yu's successful cartoonist is someone who can draw one or several comics that continue to sell well.
If this is used as a benchmark, then there is no doubt that "Chess Soul", which has been released as a radio drama, a novel, an animation, a game, and a single line of instinct to rank among the top 20 annual sales, has already been qualified, and she and Chen Nan have already reached the standard. But if it is a comic that breaks half the sky with a red and can become a pillar of Fantasy history, the limitations of "Chess Soul" itself limit the possibility of it becoming a comic comparable to "Dragon Pig", "Langxin Swordsman" and "Youyou Black Book", in Fantasy, a juvenile comic magazine, the pillar will always be the reserved place for royal comics, and editor Guo Pinyuan has also said many times that it is a miracle that the sword goes sideways "Chess Soul" can come to this point.
But Liang Yu didn't understand what Chen Nan wanted, because she showed that there was only one goal to chase with such perseverance.
That is the glory that surpasses everyone including Gu Chengfeng and pushes his comics to the top.
Liang Yu once thought that maybe she could try, but after experiencing the process of constantly being confused and collapsing and starting again, she clearly saw where her limit was, the more she cared, the more she deviated from her original intention, and her ranking dropped but did not rise, but if she kept it like this, she would never be able to respond to Chen Nan's expectations.
What should I do?
At this time, Liang Yu had vaguely gotten the answer, but she still couldn't make up her mind.
