Chapter 1126 Long Talk

text

When the wine and dishes were served, Wang Wenhong took the jug and filled the wine cups for the four people, and then sat back to his seats.

The four raised their glasses and clinked, and drank it all in one gulp.

Wang Wenhong filled up the wine again, and Tachibana raised his glass, "Mr. Shen, there were some misunderstandings between us at the beginning, which led to some minor problems in cooperation. Fortunately, the misunderstandings were quickly resolved, and the results of "" have been improved. I am the cause of this incident, and I apologize to Teacher Shen."

Reaching out without hitting the smiling face, since Li Huashen took the initiative to take the blame, Shen Xin would be too stingy if she pursued it further, so she raised the wine cup and drank with Li Huashen again.

Two glasses of wine in a row, not to mention writing off the previous matter, but at least in a short period of time, Shen Xin will not bring up this matter again.

"We didn't expect Mr. Shen to accept our invitation." Toru Murakami accepted the words.

"Uh... I've been busy with "" before. After all, the manga has just started, if the attention is too distracted, it will indeed affect the grade." Shen Xin smiled lightly.

"That's right. The results of "" have also stabilized recently, which is very good." Murakami Toru took another sip of wine, frowned slightly, but glanced at Tachibana.

"Ahem...that's right, I heard Teacher Shen say that the reason why "" was delayed until the year before last was because if the animation project was started from the year before last, the ending time of the manga of "" would be about the same as the end of the animation... I don't know." Has Mr. Shen changed his mind now? After all, "" has such excellent results... If it is serialized for another four or five years, it may not be able to surpass "The Gate of Eternal Life." Lihua Shen coughed lightly, and expressed his future intentions with a little hesitation .

After Wang Wenhong translated Tachibana's words, his gaze also fell on Shen Xin.

The results and the length of the manga have always been a matter of entanglement for cartoonists. Sometimes, the initiative is not in the hands of the cartoonist, but in the hands of the magazine.

Magazines, especially large-scale comic magazines like "Shounen Leap", which hold exclusive contract systems, have the right to be responsible for editors far beyond ordinary people's imagination. Even authors who have achieved some achievements still cannot OK everything.

Take "" as an example, if you change a manga artist, even Uematsuno or Yoshito Yamagishi, the length of this manga will be extended.

The average volume is more than 2 million. If you are in the comics circle, it is impossible not to know the horror of this result.

The manga volumes exceed one million volumes, which is not too much in the 11th district. Basically, a large magazine will have a few volumes. Once the volume exceeds two million volumes, even "Shounen Leap" is not too many.

Especially, in the case of the sluggish paper comics market, this kind of achievement is even more rare.

The problem now is that Shen Xin is not their cartoonist, and the length of the comics is not up to them to decide - if icfuture doesn't agree to extend it, they have nothing to do.

But... this kind of best-selling manga, even in icfuture, should be one of the best, right? They should be heartbroken too.

Of course, the crux of the problem is that the contract is clearly written in black and white, and they have no right to interfere with the length of "", that is to say, Shen Xin has the right to decide the length of the comic.

"Oh, you said this matter... it will end next year." Shen Xin took a bite of the fish and said it casually.

Wang Wenhong sighed, it was true, but he still translated it to Murakami and Tachibana.

"Huh?"

Murakami Toru and Tachibana made surprise sounds at the same time.

"No, teacher, please think carefully." Li Huashen pressed his hands on the table, straightened his body, looked at Shen Xin, his face flushed, almost begging.

"Of course, why do you think I forced to release the animation in the winter season? If the time is delayed, even if the animation is made, the manga is over, and its usefulness is limited." Shen Xin looked at Tachibana in a bad mood.

When Li Huashen heard Shen Xin's words, he opened his mouth and didn't speak for a while.

Only now did he know why Shen Xin insisted on serializing in winter.

If, according to the original entry, the animation is released in the summer or autumn, the manga may end soon after the animation is released.

"But..." Li Huashen looked anxious, but his throat seemed to be stuck, and he was still unable to speak.

It's a pity that a work with such a good sales volume is facing the end. More importantly, after "" is over, the sales of "Shounen Leap" are bound to drop, and this is what troubles Tachibana the most.

Unless, find a comic that can replace "". But if the sales and popularity of comics like "" were easy to find, he wouldn't be so accommodating to Shen Xin.

"Then... what about Mr. Shen's next comic?" Murakami immediately skipped "" and looked at Shen Xin's next comic.

Although he didn't communicate much with Shen Xin, Wang Wenhong acted as an intermediary to complete the communication more often, but the cooperation between the two parties was real, and he knew Shen Xin somewhat.

"Soul of Chess", "Steel Refining" and "DN" are all high-quality products, and "" is not to mention, so far, "" is already one of the best existences in sports comics. Perhaps the best sports manga if it had been serialized longer.

"Uh... haven't thought it through yet. Mr. Murakami, no matter what, "" is not over yet, so let's postpone the next manga for a while?" Shen Xin shook her head.

Even if there are many cartoons in his mind, it will take a while to choose.

What's more, he is not a robot, and his physical strength is not as good as that of his twenties, so he still needs to rest.

"How about we first determine the contract for the next work?" Murakami said again.

"Eh?"

Wang Wenhong was a little surprised, even Tachibana didn't expect Murakami to say that.

But Toru Murakami also has his own reasons for doing this. "DN" was not serialized on "Shounen Leap", and he is still worried about it until now.

Although there are only 7 copies of "dn", "dn" is serialized on the Internet, and the single volume can still exceed 1.5 million copies, which means that if it is published on "Youth Leap", the single volume will be at least 2 million copies.

"Well……"

Shen Xin was also a little embarrassed after hearing Murakami Toru's words.

Be it "DN", "Steel Refining", and "", on Earth, the volumes of these three comics all exceed 2 million copies.

If we take into account the differences of the times, he can only paint a few works such as "Giant" and "Pirate". If "Hokage" wants to be drawn, the background needs to be changed drastically, and he is not sure what will be achieved by then.

If Toru Murakami has the idea that the next manga will exceed 2 million copies, he is likely to be disappointed.

"Are you really not sure about talking about this after the new book comes out?"

"Let's at least communicate with each other? Even if the new book doesn't come out, we can reach a consensus first." Toru Murakami explained.
