Chapter 169: Public Opinion

The meeting continued until the end, but nothing came out of the discussion. Three short comics and one full-length comic were finalized.

After get off work, Yan Fei came to Shen Xin's studio to accept the name of the next episode.

"Sister Yan, you are not in a good mood today." Gao Hang looked at Sophie with a blank face, and said in a low voice.

"Ah? Why?" Yan Fei quickly waved her hand, "It's nothing. By the way, Mr. Shen, the sixth volume of "Y's" is confirmed to be released on November 7th. Do you still want to sign books?" Yan Fei asked Fee.

"Forget it." Shen Xin shook her head, "The comic festival is over, why are you doing book signings?"

"Well, I'll go back and convey your meaning." Yan Fei sighed.

"Sister Yan, what's the matter?" Shen Xin also noticed Yan Fei's abnormality.

"No... well, now that you have seen it, I have nothing to hide. The animation of "Y's" is probably out of action in the past few months."

"Why?" Shen Xin was puzzled.

"Originally, Yingyin Animation planned to spend 1.8 million to buy the copyright, but Song Ren did not agree. He said that it must be 3 million."

"1.8 million!" Gao Hang took a breath.

Lu Ning was also surprised. To her, this was a huge sum of money.

"This price...is it on the high side or on the low side?" Shen Xin asked curiously.

"Above the average. But if there is the blessing of the 'Newcomer Award', it is a little low. Last year's newcomer award "Fu Yao Zhi" animation copyright sold 2.4 million, but considering that "Fu Yao Zhi" has a more market, so, than "Y's" is higher than 600,000, and there is a reason for it. And "Y's" also broke the 'curse of the newcomer award', and there are certain gimmicks, but 3 million will definitely not be able to sell."

Shen Xin stretched her muscles.

"In the final analysis, it still depends on the market. But since no company offers a high price, it means there must be a reason for it. If it really doesn't work, forget it."

Although it is a pity, there are some things that can be met but not sought after, Shen Xin feels a little regretful.

"I'll do my best to fight for you."

"Sister Yan, do what you can." Shen Xin persuaded.

Yan Fei nodded slightly, "Don't worry, I know what's going on."

Time flies, and it is November in a blink of an eye.

The autumn wind howled and the weather turned cooler. With the autumn wind, the withered and yellow leaves rolled up and drifted for a while before finally falling into the dust.

Under such weather, the sixth volume of "Y's" has finally been released as a single volume.

The first printing of 300,000 copies exceeded 50% at noon the next day, and the official website announced that another 200,000 copies were printed.

The "Other Forums" of Manga.com Forum, which has not been active for a long time, became active again with the hot sale of "Y's".

"It's still the same taste, Mr. Shen's painting skills have not diminished."

"Hehe... Mr. Shen's painting skills have been improving, what kind of eyes do you have?"

"I...Of course I know. There is a new female character in the new volume. She is Yi Gui's junior, and she looks very cute.

"

"Ah - what's so good about a person like Yigui? He is playful, indecisive, and looks ordinary, even I can't compare to him. Why don't I have girls to chase after me?"

"Sad people, who can't even tell the difference between reality and cartoons."

"Of course I can tell the difference. I envy Yigui. Envy, do you understand? (covering face and crying)"

"Stop talking... I understand!"

A series of "+1" below.

"By the way, you people, haven't you been chasing "Y's"?" A netizen suddenly interjected.

"No. I really can't keep up. It's 20 yuan for a copy just to see Teacher Shen. It's really not worth it. Why don't you just buy the booklet?"

"That's right. Maybe there were good short stories to read before. In recent times, it's simply too bad."

"I don't know where the editorial department found an old cartoonist. The style of painting is old, and the story is not interesting."

"I know those authors. They are the authors who were eliminated by "Monthly Comic Future" and "Man Weekly". After their last comic was cut in half, no new comics have been published."

"Huh? Are the editors of "New World" all stupid? Do you accept this kind of comics? If you really want their work, let them create interesting comics? If I were the president, I would be pissed off by them. "

"Hehe, did you think that "New World" would be the upstart of Huaxia comic magazine? After a long time of fussing, that's it. I'm really blinding Mr. Shen and "Y's" for nothing."

"It would be great if Mr. Shen went to "Comic Future" or "Manga Fly". If it doesn't work, "Manga Weekly" will also work. I want to follow "Y's"."

"Upstairs, if Teacher Shen goes to other magazines, "Y's" will be gone."

"That's fine too. I also want to see Mr. Shen draw other cartoons."

"Shhhhhh, don't make trouble upstairs. It's almost January, and there is no news about the animation of "Y's". What do you mean? Are the comics that won the 'Newcomer Award' not eligible to make animations?"

"Yeah, why not make it?"

"I want to see colorful Iori, and I want to see colorful autumn leaves."

"I want to see Yigui in color, and Gu Jingya in color."

"I want to see colorful photos and colorful swimsuits."

"I want to see colored nude bodies and..."

"Get upstairs and get out!"

Not only these netizens were puzzled, but Liu Hao, a die-hard fan of "Y's", was also puzzled.

According to the usual practice, there should be news of animation production by this time, and it should be played in spring at the earliest and summer at the slowest.

This year, nothing happened.

Unwilling, Liu Hao posted a sign-in post on "Other Forums"——Has "Y's" made an anime yet?

"1 day, no, think about it."

"2 days, no, think about it."

Gradually, some fans began to imitate Liu Hao's format and left messages in this post, which quickly reached the 100th floor.

However, no matter how netizens "build buildings", Song Ren's attitude has never changed.

"The game copyright of "Y's" can be sold for 1 million, and the animated version can't be sold for only 2 million." Song Ren looked at the person in black suit in front of him with sullen expression on his face.

"Mr. Liu, the cost has been listed above. 2 million is really the limit." The middle-aged man looked anxious.

He understood what Song Ren meant.

Whether the game copyright of comics or the copyright of comics is higher or lower depends on the specific situation. For example, "Y's" can only be a love game, and the funds to make the game are only hundreds of thousands.

The copyright of "Y's" can be sold for one million, which is already an exaggeration. But for animation, the production cost is the big one, and the company simply cannot afford so much money.

"You can find more people and form a committee like District 11." Song Ren shook his finger, "In the first half of the year, the copyright of "Y's" was only one million, why didn't you buy it at that time? Now I want to pick the fruit, It costs a little more, of course. We've lost money on this comic, and we have to recoup those costs."

The middle-aged man opened his mouth slightly, and sighed when he saw the sneer on Song Ren's face. What Song Ren said made sense, but who would have thought at that time that "Y's" would win the Newcomer Award.

After standing up from his seat, the middle-aged man bowed slightly to Song Tai, and said softly, "I will be back."

Song Ren nodded slightly, "Please go ahead."

The middle-aged man entered the elevator depressedly, and the elevator stopped just after going down one floor.

The elevator doors opened and two women walked in.
