Chapter 222 Do You Know "Soul of Chess"

Xi Muhan only stayed in Hongchuan for two weeks before returning to Yunhai.

As for the reason - China's third year of high school, everyone knows it.

Before Xi Muhan went back, Shen Xin deliberately set aside half a day to go to the cinema with Xi Muhan and watched a movie - Su Han's "Punishment".

However, this released movie was filmed in District 11, the names of all the characters have been changed, and it is said that the plot has also been changed a bit.

The protagonist of the story got a notebook mainly about prophecies, but was taken away by the senior students who have been bullying him.

Unlike "Death Note", after the name is written on this notepad, the owner cannot be changed, and except for the protagonist, everyone who destroys the notepad will die.

The senior students surrounded the protagonist in the bathroom, beat the protagonist severely, and tore off a page when they took away the notepad. As a result, just after leaving the teaching building, a piece of glass fell off and killed the senior student. born.

The story is roughly like this. This is only the first part of "Punishment", and there are two remaining parts. Apart from Su Han, the only one who knows the ending is Han Ye.

The manga of "Punishment" has come to the end of the second chapter. According to this speed, "Punishment" should be over by next year.

Come to think of it, time flies so fast.

Shen Xin sighed in her heart.

The final box office of "Punishment" is 200 million, and the cost is not high. Therefore, this movie can be said to have made a lot of money. Moreover, it also achieved good results in District 11, which made many best-selling authors jealous .

The "Short Comic Contest" can be said to have been a big failure. Almost all of the published works were marked "x" by Ye Hexu. Only a few short stories could be published in "Youth Future", but none of them were eligible for serialization.

Although "omi future" did not find newcomers, there was a surprise. "Killer Diary", which was not expected at first, made a big hit at the "Comic Festival", and won the "Best Long-form Comic Award". Three years of comics finally came out with "fruits", and at the same time, "Punishment" also won the "Best Adaptation Award".

"omi future" won two awards alone and became the big winner of the comic festival. Shang Haozhi also heaved a sigh of relief. Find high-quality newcomer cartoonists.

During this period of time, "Soul of Go" has also gradually gained popularity. In addition to the original readers, it has also successfully attracted a large number of Go fans who have never read comics. The sales volume of the second volume exceeded 40 volumes in a single week without large-scale advertising, which made Shang Haozhi overjoyed.

For a while, the popularity of "Soul of Chess" on the Internet surpassed that of many comics, and even ranked in the top five among competitive comics. However, due to the slow pace, it is temporarily inferior to the two or three most popular comics, and among these two or three comics, Tamagawa Haruka's "Slam Dunk" is included.

"Slam Dunk" is temporarily more popular than "Soul of Chess", there are many reasons.

First, the confrontation of basketball is fierce, and the viewing level is higher than that of Go.

Second, readers have a strong sense of substitution. Even if most people haven't been to the arena to watch a professional basketball game, they have watched class or school-level basketball games to some extent, and it is easier to substitute themselves as the protagonist.

Again, the rhythm of "Slam Dunk" is very fast. The first episode slaps the stars of the team, the second episode confirms the core status of the team, and the third episode starts a training match with a famous school in the same county.

In addition, there are some small routines, such as being underestimated by foreign schools, and then slapping opponents in the face.

Although the number of times of use is not much, it has already made readers hooked.

It is said that the first volume of "Slam Dunk" sold 10,000 copies in the 11th district, while the sales volume in China was 450,000 copies.

This is equivalent to the global sales of the first volume of "Slam Dunk" reaching 780,000 copies, far exceeding other competitive comics.

Seeing this, other cartoonists were also speechless.

Most of them have only one market, but Slam Dunk has two, and their comics are not up to the level of "Dragon King", so even if they are envious, there is nothing they can do.

As the editor in charge of "Slam Dunk" in "manga fl", Yan Fei is not only responsible for "manga fl"'s own comics, but also has to learn Japanese, and is responsible for the related affairs of "Slam Dunk" in "manga fl".

When she got home, Yan Fei had just taken out her textbook and was about to continue learning Japanese when the phone on the table suddenly turned on, and a message was sent to her phone.

Yan Fei glanced at the message, it turned out to be from Yu Chuanyao, and clicked on the message in confusion.

"Teacher Yan, what should I do next?"

Yan Fei was full of question marks, she didn't know why Yu Chuanyao sent such a text message.

"What's wrong?"

"I can't draw the name of the next chapter."

"Huh? What do you mean?" Yan Fei was a little confused when she saw this sentence.

Her main task in "manga fl" is actually communication. After helping Tamagawa Haruka for the first two episodes, she didn't make any further comments, but just fed back information to readers.

In addition, Tamagawa Haruka's editor in charge of "Youth Leap" didn't want her to intervene too much. After all, he was the real editor in charge of Tamagawa Haruka. As for Yan Fei, to put it bluntly, he was almost no different from a liaison officer.

According to Yan Fei's prompt, Yu Chuanyao changed the names of the first two episodes, which gave "Slam Dunk" a good start, and the editors of District 11 also got a sense of it, and removed many unnecessary plots, making the plot of the story very compact , but at the same time, there is also a result - the speed of "Slam Dunk" is difficult to slow down.

"Now I feel that the speed is too fast. No matter what team the protagonist's opponent is, it will basically end in three or four episodes. If the painting continues at this speed, "Slam Dunk" will end next year."

A message came back to Yan Fei's phone.

"So fast?"

Yan Fei had just watched the latest episode of "Slam Dunk", and now she is in the group stage of the county competition.

"That's right. If the protagonist wins the national championship effortlessly, I can't redraw the national competition again, can I? They are all old opponents, and there is not much new idea to crush them again."

Yan Fei nodded, Yu Chuanyao was right.

"Then introduce new opponents...such as the Asian Championship or the World Championship, plus pre-competition training. This can take another year or two."

This is the most basic method to continuously improve the opponent's strength.

"Mr. Taniguchi also thinks so, but the protagonist is portrayed too powerfully. It is hard for me to imagine how good the athletes of basketball powerhouses will be."

This is another problem. Sometimes the imagination of cartoonists restricts their thinking... Wait, shouldn't this be something that the editor in charge of District 11 should solve?

Yan Fei felt depressed, until Yu Chuan sent two messages asking her, and she replied: "There are only two ways I can think of."

"any solution?"

"The first method is to break away from reality. Many of the competitive comics in District 11 have rushed out of Asia and went to the world. In this way, even if the protagonist wins the world championship, readers will accept it."

"But Huaxia readers won't agree, right?"

This is true, the basketball in District 11 is indeed inferior to Huaxia.

Yan Fei thought so, but her fingers came up with a second solution, "Then slow down."

"How?" Yu Chuan Yao asked back.

Yan Fei thought for a while, and typed another line: "Do you know "Soul of Chess"?"
