Chapter Two Hundred and Twelve Falls and Separate Books
Zhen Duo was wearing a light gold Tang suit with a serious face, while the Han Guo chess player was wearing a suit with the same serious look.
Chess players from the Han Kingdom hold black chess pieces, Zhen Duo is white chess pieces, and when they are about to start making moves, the screen cuts to the commentary room, and a chessboard more than one meter high appears in the audience's field of vision, with commentators standing on both sides of the chessboard and guests.
"By the way, Mr. Xie, there may be similar large-scale competitions in the later stage of the manga, and I need information about this. If you have the opportunity to be the commentator, please help me take more photos." Shen Xin explained.
The reason why "Soul of Chess" can become a hall-level competitive manga is that Takeshi Obata's descriptions of chess players and professional Go are very detailed and true, and on the other hand, the content related to Go is also realistic. A drawing of a TV game broadcast.
"But, I'm only a third-rank. Huaxia has too many third-ranks, and no one will invite me." Xie Shiqi waved her hands quickly, she didn't believe that she had such strength and luck.
"Don't worry, there will be a chance sooner or later."
Shen Xin is not worried at all, the current chess spirit is still far away from the Beidou Cup.
During this period, Xie Shiqi should be able to improve a stage or two, which may be favored by the TV station.
If it doesn't work, he can also ask the magazine for help and watch the Go broadcast.
The game of Go is a very long game, and it is not attractive to those who have no knowledge of Go.
Shen Xin only understands some Go concepts, but she still struggles to understand the game.
After watching for about half an hour, Shen Xin returned to the workbench and picked up the paintbrush again.
He has a lot of work to do, drawing the original manuscript, drawing the name, and besides that, he has to practice his drawing skills.
Among the many cartoonists in the 11th district, Takeshi Obata's drawing skills are at the top level. Even with the addition of manga capsules, he still has to spend a long time and work hard. In the later period of "Soul of Chess", Takeshi Obata's superior painting skills also brought the picture of "Soul of Chess" to the extreme.
If Shen Xin doesn't hurry up, he may not be able to draw the effect of the original version of "Soul of Chess" when it really reaches the later stage of the manga.
This is not what he wants to see.
After drawing two line drawings, Shen Xin stood up and handed the finished manuscript to Gao Hang downstairs. Just as she was about to turn around, she saw Xie Shiqi coming down from the second floor.
"Don't watch it?" Shen Xin asked in surprise.
"Well, it's over." Xie Shiqi was depressed.
Shen Xin was a little dazed, seeing Xie Shiqi's expression, it seemed that the result of the competition was not satisfactory.
"How about I give you a ride?"
"No, I'm fine." Xie Shiqi sighed.
It seems that the result of the game is really not ideal.
After sending Xie Shiqi out of the door, Shen Xin went back to the second floor, glanced at the TV, and the commentary was making a final summary.
Zhen Duo made a mistake in closing, and was seized by his opponent, so he lost the game carelessly.
It would be fine if the strength is really bad, but losing the game because of a mistake is really depressing.
However, the most annoyed people may be the spectators, and the saddest people must be the players.
Therefore, Shen Xin's mentality is not bad, but affected by the loss of the Three Kingdoms Go Tournament, the results of "Soul of Chess" should be affected.
Zhen Duo lost, allowing Han Guo to win the Three Kingdoms Go Cup, as the main player,
Zhen Duo received the most accusations. It is said that many people who originally wanted to learn Go changed their decision because of this, and the Go industry was affected to a certain extent.
Similarly, "Soul of Chess" has not been spared.
The "Small Book" of the 30th issue of "ic future" came out, and the ranking of the tenth chapter of "Soul of Chess" dropped to 6th.
After two episodes in a row, the ranking of "Soul of Chess" continued to decline, which made Wang Wenhong's pressure increase sharply. He repeatedly read the content of chapters 10 and 11, but found no problems.
The 10th episode is "First Play", and the 11th episode is "Awakening Premonition". This episode tells the story of Xiaoguang representing Haze Middle School and participating in the middle school winter Go game.
In Chapter 10, Xiaoguang played chess himself and lost the game, but in Chapter 11, Xiaoguang shed tears because he was unwilling to lose to the opponent, and finally defeated the opponent with the help of Zuo Wei's ability.
This statement should add points to Xiaoguang's personality, and it heralds a change in Xiaoguang's attitude towards Go.
It is difficult for Wang Wenhong to accept such a natural undertaking, but it is only ranked 8th.
He opened the manga.com forum, and there were a lot fewer discussion posts related to "Soul of Chess".
how so? The heat is much different from the previous episodes.
Wang Wenhong couldn't help but posted a post: "Excuse me, why is the popularity of "Soul of Chess" so low recently?"
After waiting for about four or five minutes, there were five or six comments under the post.
"I lost a Go game recently, so I'm not interested in watching "Soul of Chess"."
"I'm not in the mood. I don't want to play Go. After a while?"
"Zhen Duo lost the game at the 9th dan...it turns out that Huaxia Go is really bad, it's just slightly better than District 11."
"Uh, after all, the game of Go is still not 'burning' enough. Teacher Yuchuan's "Slam Dunk" is different."
"That's right. "Slam Dunk" is in District 11, even if you lose the game, it won't be too uncomfortable. Zhen Duo lost the game at 9th Dan, it really hurts too much."
...
Tamagawa? Could it be Tamagawa Haruka?
Wang Wenhong immediately stood up.
Xu Jie at the next table looked at Wang Wenhong in surprise, "What's wrong with you?"
"Brother Xu, have you watched the latest issue of "manga fly"?" Wang Wenhong asked Xu Jie.
"Me? I don't read comics from other magazines." Xu Jie shook his head repeatedly.
"Brother Hu, what about you?" Wang Wenhong turned around and asked Hu Ke again.
"I bought the "Manga Fly" magazine at random, just to see if there are any great newcomers on it." Hook touched the stubble of his beard, "What's wrong?"
"No... I heard that "manga fly" introduced "Slam Dunk" by Wang Yuchuanyao, a newcomer from District 11..."
"That's right." Hook crossed his arms and leaned against the back of the chair. "It seems that "manga fly" is going to compete for next year's 'Best Foreign Comic Award'. Why did you suddenly think of it?"
Wang Wenhong picked up the notebook on the table and put it in front of Hu Ke, "Brother Hu, did you see that someone mentioned "Slam Dunk" in the post...It means that "Slam Dunk" has put pressure on "Soul of Chess."
"Ah? "Slam Dunk" is not owned by our magazine, so how could it form a competition?" Hook shook his head and said, "Shouldn't we reflect on the plot of "Soul of Chess" first when the grades drop?"
plot?
Wang Wenhong took a deep breath, restrained the impulse in his heart, and said in a calm tone as much as possible: "Brother Hu, you should have read the last two episodes of "Soul of Chess". Is there any problem with these two episodes?"
Hook raised his head to think about it, and finally shook his head, "No."
"Since there is no such thing, how should we reflect on "Soul of Chess"?" Wang Wenhong said patiently, "Brother Hu, I can say responsibly that the quality of "Soul of Chess" is absolutely reliable."
"You can't help it if you tell me, the score of "Soul of Chess" just dropped." Hook was also a little bit up.
I thought that the results of "Soul of Chess" would stabilize, and I would be able to attack the first place in two or three months, but I didn't expect to drop to the 8th place now.
If the ranking continues to decline, "Soul of Chess" will definitely have to make adjustments.
"What are you all doing? I heard your voices in the corridor."
Wang Wenhong turned his head quickly, but saw Shang Haozhi standing at the door with a blank face, holding a form in his right hand and a comic magazine under his arm.
"The first volume of "Soul of Chess" will be published on the 7th of next month, with a first edition of 300,000 copies. Wang Wenhong, please ask Mr. Shen to prepare two promotional pages. The goal of the magazine is to complete the reprint within a week." Shang Haozhi said.
The other editors grinned, this... is a bit difficult. 8
