Chapter 201 Invitation

( ) "Mr. Shen, how are you?" Shang Haozhi asked in a low voice.

"Yes, as long as it can provide necessary help to the manga." Shen Xin nodded.

Having said so much just now, the most important thing is that the consultant can have a stable time every week to check the manuscript. Because the comics are updated every week, if the consultant has too many things and often goes to other places, the effect is not as good as that of a lesser-known chess player who doesn't go out often.

Xie Chengbo nodded slightly, got up and made a call.

Shen Xin also took advantage of this time to take a sip of tea.

Not long after, the door was pushed open, and the girl who played Go with Zhen Xi just now walked into the office.

"Grandpa, are you looking for me?" the girl asked in a low voice.

"Well, you sit down first." Xie Chengbo pointed to the single sofa on one side and said.

The girl didn't know why, and sat down a little confused.

At this moment, the girl's eyes were slightly red. It seemed that the loss to Zhen Xi just now was really hard for her to accept.

"This is my granddaughter, Xie Shiqi, who has been introduced just now, and has a third-tier career." Xie Chengbo said.

The three of Shen Xin also introduced themselves immediately.

"It's like this. They are going to draw a Go cartoon, but they don't know much about Go. So, I want to find a consultant, and I recommend you." Xie Chengbo explained.

"I...I can't do it, can I?" Xie Shiqi shook her head, depressed.

"Only one day a week, two days at most, we will pay the relevant expenses." Shen Xin said hastily.

"No...it has nothing to do with money. I...don't think I have that kind of strength." Xie Shiqi bit her lip, "After all, I can't even compare to a child."

Shen Xin and Wang Wenhong glanced at each other, they didn't expect Xie Shiqi's heart knot to be here.

"Miss Xie, the most amazing thing about Go is that it doesn't measure a player's strength by age or rank. I remember that Zhen Duo had just turned 18 when he won the title of 'Tian Yuan' for the first time, and his The opponent is over 30 years old. Therefore, it is not embarrassing to lose to players younger than yourself, just be yourself. Go also pays attention to self-cultivation. The more you care, the more you lose." Shang Haozhi looked serious Said.

Shen Xin looked at Shang Haozhi in surprise,

Isn't the editor-in-chief's reaction too fast?

"Moreover, I am also very confident in this work, and it may even set off a 'Go craze' in China. If you don't believe it, you might as well read the name." Shang Haozhi pushed the envelope to Xie Shiqi's side.

Xie Shiqi was conflicted and didn't really want to take the envelope, but when she heard Shang Haozhi mention the "go craze", she couldn't help touching the envelope with her fingers.

Recently... a few years ago, the number of people learning Go has indeed decreased, and there are even fewer children who aspire to become professional players. In particular, the annual "Go Match" is like a mountain blocking all young chess players. Of course, all the people who learned Go with her fell down there, and had to give up Go and find another way to make a living.

Shang Haozhi's words immediately reminded Xie Shiqi of the time before the scheduled competition.

"Uncle, will you lie to me?" Xie Shiqi asked.

"I never lie." Shang Haozhi said seriously.

Wang Wenhong rubbed his forehead, and the editor-in-chief started "acting" again.

Xie Shiqi picked up the envelope, she didn't know what to name.

In fact, it's not just her. As long as you haven't come into contact with this circle, few people will know the meaning of name, but this does not prevent her from understanding the content of the first three chapters.

The name is just a sketch of the manga, and most manga artists will not draw it too carefully, because if it is not satisfactory, it needs to be redrawn.

The same is true for Shen Xin, who only roughly drew an image, with only a few strokes in the background, not careful.

Xie Shiqi finished the three episodes in one go, feeling a little unfinished.

"Are there any more?" Xie Shiqi raised her head and asked in surprise.

"No more. These three chapters are used to submit to the serial meeting, and the next step is to draw these three chapters into the original manuscript. As you can see, there are some chess records in these three chapters, so I need professionals to provide and give pointers .Of course, you can also use the game of Go that you have played with others." Shen Xin explained.

"That's it...it's a pity, I really want to read the next chapter." Xie Shiqi was a little tangled.

"If you are willing to serve as a consultant, you can see the name immediately, even faster than my editor in charge." Shen Xin said.

"Um?"

Wang Wenhong's eyelids twitched, but he thought again, Shen Xin was right, the consultant had indeed read it earlier than him, otherwise there would be no way to finish the manuscript.

He thought he would be the first person to see the name besides the cartoonist, but he forgot that there are consultants.

Miscalculated.

Shen Xin's words moved Xie Shiqi's heart. She sorted out the names and was about to put them in the envelope, but suddenly found that there were still five or six pages of drafts inside.

Xie Shiqi took out the manuscript, and the first thing she saw was Zuo Wei's character design.

The character on the name was just an outline, not very clear, but the character setting was much clearer. Zuo Wei's elegant and delicate image immediately caught her attention.

"Wait... I want to ask, is this person named 'Zuo Wei' the one with the fan on the cover?" Xie Shiqi instead took the sketch of the person and asked Shen Xin in surprise.

"That's right." Shen Xin nodded.

Xie Shiqi's favorability for "Soul of Chess" increased sharply, and then she looked at other character designs and nodded again and again.

"Xiaoqi, how are you? Are you interested?" Xie Chengbo asked in a low voice when he saw Xie Shiqi sweeping away his previous frustration.

"I'm afraid of disappointing them." Xie Shiqi was not too sure.

"You can treat these things as 'pictures and crosswords'. According to the meaning of the context, choose the appropriate game record, and then provide some professional knowledge of Go, photos of the dojo, chess club and the game." Shang Haozhi persuaded road.

"I...shall I try?" Xie Shiqi glanced at the name in her hand and said in a low voice.

"Thank you very much." Shen Xin breathed a sigh of relief, and finally found a consultant, and then she could formally start drawing the original manuscript.

"The current situation is like this, because we must determine the update date as soon as possible, and the time is tight. In addition, although you have been invited to serve as a consultant, the name and original painting cannot leave the studio before the work is published, let alone appear in the On the Internet, I hope you can understand." Shang Haozhi explained.

"No problem." Xie Shiqi nodded repeatedly, "Although I have never been a comic consultant, I still know the confidentiality agreement."

"The details of the contract will be discussed in the studio. Xiao Wang, can you contact Miss Xie tomorrow?" Shang Haozhi explained.

Wang Wenhong nodded, "I see."

"Mr. Shen, please complete the manuscript as soon as possible, so that we can prepare to cut the manga in half."

"No problem." Shen Xin also nodded slightly.

After finalizing these matters, the three also bid farewell.

Xie Chengbo and Xie Shiqi sent them all the way out of the dojo, and then turned back.
