Chapter 1127: Shen Xin's Thoughts

Shen Xin didn't expect Murakami and Tachibana to turn the topic to the new book, in fact, he really didn't think about it either.

According to his plan, after "; DUNK" is over, he will have to rest for a period of time, not only because of physical exhaustion, but also considering his age, he and Xi Muhan should also think about their children.

"But to be honest, after ";DUNK", I may take a break for a year or two to think about my personal affairs." Shen Xin apologized slightly.

The so-called rest does not mean doing nothing.

If the next work chooses the kind of manga that the earth has not yet ended, he will definitely have to find ways to come up with the ending of the manga. During this period of time, he may have to discuss the direction of the story with Wang Wenhong and Yan Fei.

In addition, he may also discuss further cooperation with Ji Yinxuan, for example, providing other game modes, or providing a game process that is popular on Earth.

He is only responsible for collecting money, and handing over the production to Ji Yinxuan... In fact, he has already revealed to Ji Yinxuan that he wants to take a stake in magi, and Ji Yinxuan is also very interested.

Although Magi has made a fortune in "Stones;Gate", it is obvious that Ji Yinxuan is not such an easy-to-satisfy person.

For Ji Yinxuan, it would be the best thing if Zhenyu Technology can be pulled down from the throne of no.1 domestic game.

One party provides funds and the outline of the story, does not participate in production and management, and gets bonus dividends, and the other party produces games and has control over the company.

Both sides take what they need.

With these considerations in mind, Shen Xin did not set any special limit on the serialization time of the next comic, after all, there is still a lot to do.

"Well……"

Murakami and Tachibana didn't expect Shen Xin to say that, and they lost their minds at the moment.

Putting a piece of green vegetables into the mouth, Tachibana thought about how to prevent the sales of "Youth Leap" from falling after "; DUNK" ended. However, after thinking about it again and again, there was still no effective way.

Could it be...he really wants to accept the fact that the sales of "Young Leap" have plummeted in the post-"DUNK" era?

Thinking of this,

Tachibana's back felt a little chilly.

"Young Leap" can now maintain a sales volume of nearly 5 million copies, which is related to pillar comics such as "The Strongest Pitcher" and "Steam Age", but this sales volume depends more on the two "Gate of Eternal Life" and "; Two million volumes of manga to support it.

Next year... no, a few more months, once ";DUNK" is over...

Tachibana took out a towel from his pocket and wiped the sweat from his forehead.

"Mr. Wang and Mr. Shen have cooperated for several years, right?" Murakami rubbed his hands, and his eyes moved to Wang Wenhong's side.

"Ah? Well, yes." Wang Wenhong nodded.

"Since when did you cooperate with Mr. Shen?"

""Soul of Chess", and have been cooperating until now." Wang Wenhong replied softly.

Toru Murakami nodded slightly, took a sip of his wine, and remained silent.

Now, the problem facing him and "Youth Leap" is how to prevent "DUNK" from having too much influence after "DUNK" is over.

However, according to his ten years of experience in charge of "Shounen Leap", when a phenomenon-level manga is over, it is almost impossible to stabilize the magazine's sales.

At that time, not only "Shounen Leap" will usher in a shock, I am afraid, "Comic Future" will not feel good either.

In just a few minutes, Tachibana and Murakami deduced several times in their minds, but they couldn't find a suitable replacement.

Comics with an average volume of hundreds of thousands of volumes are easy to find, and comics with an average volume of 2 million volumes. In the history of comics in District 11, there are only about 20 volumes.

What's more, if you count the full-color version of the booklet, "; DUNK" is not much different from "The Gate of Eternal Life", if not comparable.

What's even more frightening is that "; DUNK" has only been serialized for five years.

"Teacher Shen, can't "DUNK"..." Tachibana didn't give up, but was stopped by Murakami.

"What are Teacher Shen's plans for the future?" Murakami asked.

"The future... is not sure yet, maybe after "; DUNK" is over, we will have a clue?" Shen Xin answered half-truthfully, half of this sentence was dealing with Murakami, and the remaining half-- Perhaps by that time, he would have decided what to paint.

"If Mr. Shen is still serialized on "Youth Leap", what are the requirements?" Murakami asked again.

"What condition?" The corners of Shen Xin's mouth curled up slightly, "Of course it's to recover the animation production rights."

Such a incident happened in the animation production of "; DUNK". With the concept of gaining wisdom through a fall, Shen Xin will definitely intervene in the production of the next comic.

After Lihuashen heard Wang Wenhong's translation, his expression was gloomy, he drank his wine and kept silent.

Murakami Toru stared at Tachibana dissatisfiedly, Shen Xin would not have made this request without his original decision.

"As for other aspects... I have the right to suspend the publication." Shen Xin threw another difficult problem to Murakami and Tachibana when they were still digesting the last piece of information.

"Huh?"

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

"You heard me right, it's the right to suspend the publication." Shen Xin drank a drink and breathed a sigh of relief, "Now that I have passed the time when I have the most energy, I also have to think about the things around me, so I would like to invite you Take this condition into consideration.”

"What frequency?" Murakami swallowed a mouthful of saliva.

"Probably every four or five weeks will be closed." Shen Xin thought for a while, and felt that this frequency should be fine.

So as not to lose readers, you can also take care of your own health. If he does it like before, his body may not be able to bear it, after all, he has passed the age where he can be willful.

In short, if you should paint, you should paint, and if you should exercise, you should exercise. Not to mention maintaining your health like an old thief, but you should also start paying attention to rest.

After "; DUNK" was over, Shen Xin basically didn't lack anything, and the four rests were at most just a little less money, which didn't affect him too much.

"Serialize for four or five weeks and take a week off." Murakami nodded slightly. This frequency cannot be considered high. If he was the editor-in-chief, he would definitely agree.

The right to make the decision now is in the hands of Li Huashen, and he can't go beyond his post, so he can only go back and think about it.

The only good thing is that Shen Xin also revealed some news during this wine meeting, they can have enough time to compare and think about countermeasures.

Of course, the more important point is that even if Shen Xin takes four days off, her grades should be better than most cartoonists.

This is also Shen Xin's weight.

After the drinking party dispersed, Shen Xin and Wang Wenhong sent Murakami and Tachibana out of the hotel, and turned around after watching the two of them get into the taxi.

"Teacher, are you talking too much? They can find a replacement."

"It doesn't matter. Even if I don't say it, after the end of "; DUNK", they also need to find a replacement, but whether they can find it is hard to say... I have a hunch that the sales decline of "Youth Leap" is inevitable. "

Shen Xin remembers that when he was on Earth, the sales peak of "Youth Jump" was in 1995, and the single issue of No. 3-4 sold 6.53 million copies.

But you must know that the paper market was not challenged too much at that time, and the pillar-level comics serialized in "Shounen Leap" were "Dragon Ball", "; DUNK" and "Rurouni Kenshin".

After the completion of these three comics, without exception, the average volume sales of all exceeded 2 million copies.

There are only 13 or 14 comics that have been serialized in "Jump" and have sold more than 2 million copies in China. This also includes "DN", "Hokage" and "Hunter x Hunter" serialized later.

Therefore, it could be regarded as the peak period of "Shounen JUMP" at that time, but the transition from prosperity to decline of "Jump" was exactly the beginning of the end of "; Hunter, Naruto and Bleach have also been serialized one after another, but due to the impact of the Internet, the print magazines have been sluggish, and the sales of "jump" have been declining.

"Young Leap" currently only has two comics, "The Gate of Eternal Life" and "; DUNK", with volumes of more than two million copies. Leap's sales are bound to drop, and it's not uncommon for sales to drop below 4 million copies in a single week.

"Then what shall we do?"

"Soldiers come to block, water comes to cover, there will always be a way." Shen Xin stretched her waist, "However, even if ";DUNK" is over, everyone may not be able to relax, especially you and Sister Yan."

"Um?"

"On the one hand, it is the further cooperation with Magi, and on the other hand, it is the preparation of the new book... Although it is necessary to rest for a period of time, it is not realistic to rest for a year or two. preparations are necessary."

"Teacher... Are the subjects ready?" Wang Wenhong said excitedly.

"There are only a few themes, but if you want to stand out from the crowd of comics, bloody fighting is the most suitable?"

Wang Dao comics have the greatest competition, but as long as they can break through the siege, their height cannot be compared with other types of comics.

"Xiaohan is in charge of the original work? To be honest, although Xiaohan has proved herself in "Comic Future",... she is not suitable for the stage of "Youth Leap"." Wang Wenhong struggled.

"I don't want her to adapt either." Shen Xin stretched her muscles, saw Wang Wenhong's surprised expression, and smiled lightly: "It's stressful. Do you think the pressure of serializing "Youth Leap" is the same as that of "Comic Future"?"

"But... Xiaohan, hasn't she been looking forward to creating comics with you and serializing them in magazines?"

"Let's talk about it when the time comes, maybe there will be some interesting original work? Besides, wouldn't there be me, you, and Sister Yan? If everyone participates together, we can always create a good-looking cartoon, right? Let's go, it's windy here Be careful of catching a cold." Shen Xin patted Wang Wenhong on the shoulder, stretched his waist, and entered the hotel.

Wang Wenhong shrugged his shoulders, but became interested in Shen Xin's next comic.

Is it cooperating with Xiao Han, or serializing it himself, or both?

Before today, Shen Xin might not have thought about the next comic, but after that, who can tell what Shen Xin thinks?

Perhaps, it may be an eye-catching work.
