Chapter 228 Annual Meeting

January 1 means a new beginning of the year.

After the publication of the latest chapter "Liang" of "Soul of Chess", readers are looking forward to the duel between Zuo Wei and Xiao Liang.

"Zuo's name is already well-known in the amateur Go world. It's really comfortable to read the last few words."

"It's not just from the Go world, haven't you seen it? Xufang Jiuduan has also noticed zuo. It means that zuo has attracted the attention of professional chess players."

"Haha, these people are asking who Zuo is."

"Unfortunately, no one was able to find it!"

"It's really hard to find. On the Internet, it's hard to know the identity of the other party."

"However, Gao Yi is also very smart. He even deduced that the other party is a child just by appearing in the daytime in July and August."

"In that case, I disagree. Can't teachers or college students do it?"

"Maybe it's because Zuo asked him, 'Am I good?' It seems immature? Adults, shouldn't they say this sentence?"

"Huh? Is there such an explanation?"

"The title of this chapter is 'liang'. In the end, Xiao Liang not only registered an account, but also had a duel with Zuo."

"Unfortunately, the manga is gone here."

"Speaking of which, I just remembered that Mr. Shen has always been very good at breaking chapters. He was already notorious when he was in "ys"."

"Damn Mr. Shen, it turns out he's a repeat offender!"

"That can't be helped, the space is limited. Next is Zuo Wei and Xiao Liang's third fight."

"Isn't it the fourth time?"

"Please, the third time is the Go game between Xiaoguang and Xiaoliang. Xiaoliang really can't beat Zuowei."

"It seems that Xiaoguang has true love for Xiaoliang, otherwise, it is impossible to lose the match with Xiaoliang and let Xiaoliang take part in the professional assessment."

"This... is too dirty."

...

Although readers have various appeals and speculations about the latest episode, after the publication of the 34th episode "A Game of Remembrance", all readers have a better understanding of Xiaoliang——Xiaoliang actually followed Zuowei's chess strategy. In the middle, there is speculation about Zuo's identity.

"This...isn't possible? Did Xiao Liang become a myth? It's incredible to infer a person's identity from the chess moves."

"Actually, it is indeed possible."

"Why?"

"Go is a highly logical game. Different people have different ways of thinking, and they may have different solutions to the same chess game. Moreover, Xiao Liang and Zuo Wei replayed the second match between them. Therefore, it makes sense for Xiao Liang to doubt Zuo's identity."

"Xiao Liang is still too persistent, for Zuo Wei..."

"Then who knows, is he doing it for Zuowei or for Xiaoguang? If it wasn't because Xiaoguang's grade was similar to his, he wouldn't care so much about Xiaoguang, would he?"

"I have to say, these three characters are too deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. I thought I would hate Xiao Liang, but I found out that he is as important as Xiao Guang in my heart."

"Looking forward to the next episode."

"I look forward to it."

"However, three volumes of the manga have been released, and the serialization has reached chapter 34,

Should there be an animated version? "

"That's right. The performance of this comic is good. Many comics that are not as good as "Soul of Chess" have been made into animations."

"I guess it will be available in April?"

"Enough, otherwise, there should be news."

"Mr. Shen, you have to work hard... If you don't work hard, the animation version will be gone."

...

Shen Xin really didn't know these people's voices for the animated version of "Soul of Chess". After handing in the manuscript of Chapter 35, she was urged by Wang Wenhong to prepare and attend the annual meeting of "ibsp;future".

According to Wang Wenhong's prompt, Shen Xin left the community, and a car drove over from the parking lot on the right side of the community and parked beside Shen Xin.

Wang Wenhong pushed open the rear door and let Shen Xin in.

"Where are you going?" Shen Xin asked after getting into the car.

"Junhao Hotel." Wang Wenhong said.

"Ah? I remember you worked there?" Shen Xin asked in surprise.

"Yes. Having said that, it's quite bitter."

"It's a good thing you want to get those methods."

"It's an idea, think about it more, there are still some ideas." Wang Wenhong laughed.

Shen Xin thought for a while, and agreed with Wang Wenhong's statement.

Not to mention other things, in order to achieve his goal, Wang Wenhong is really willing to let go, and many people can't do this.

"By the way, a lot of celebrities will come today, besides the bosses of some animation companies, and maybe the leaders of the toy company—however, these seem to have nothing to do with you, and the soul of chess should not be able to produce toys."

"..."

"The chairman of the company will also come... Besides, the cartoonist who lives in Hongchuan." Wang Wenhong recalled.

Shen Xin nodded.

This is where manga magazines differ from web novels.

Before time travel, the website invited the masters to attend the annual meeting, and network authors basically flew to the meeting place from all over the country, while cartoonists were not so convenient.

They create each chapter of manga, they must go through two parts: na and original manuscript. Sometimes, the editor even has to discuss with the cartoonist all night, so it is best for the cartoonist to be in the same city as the magazine.

"By the way, are all the cartoonists of "ibsp;future" in Hongchuan?"

"Uh, most of them are in Hongchuan, but there are also one or two people who live in counties and cities near Hongchuan."

"The cartoonists outside of Hongchuan...do they draw with digital boards and computers?" Shen Xin asked.

"Well, but manuscripts are also used. But even so, I still think it's better to live with the editor, so that it will be more convenient to discuss comics."

"Perhaps...there will be no editors for this industry in the future?"

Shen Xin thought of the Huaxia comics on Earth. Most of those comics are serialized on the Internet, and the role of the responsible editor will indeed be much smaller, and even some newcomer cartoonists cannot get the guidance of the responsible editor at all.

"How is it possible? If there is no responsible editor, who will review the manuscript for them?" Wang Wenhong waved his hand.

Shen Xin just wanted to refute, but then thought, maybe the kind of Internet serials on the earth will not appear in this world?

Compared with the earth, the Chinese comics industry in this world is already quite complete.

In the future, maybe... there will definitely be web comics, but it is unlikely to be the same as the earth, so the editorial work and model will still be retained.

"By the way, then do you think there will be such a possibility in the future..." Shen Xin rubbed her chin and said after thinking, "For example, living in another place, have your own editor, and then use the computer to draw manuscripts?"

"Good idea." Wang Wenhong replied without hesitation, "But Mr. Shen, you forgot one question, which requires oney. The salary of editors is indeed not high, but there are bonuses... bonuses are the motivation for our struggle."

Shen Xin rolled her eyes.

Isn't it just a bonus? Which time did he not give bonuses to assistants when the royalties came down for the first month of the booklet?

As for Wang Wenhong, it wasn't that Shen Xin didn't want to give him a bonus, but that Shen Xin wasn't responsible for his salary, and the magazine didn't allow him to accept Shen Xin's money.

"By the way, writers you are familiar with, such as Mr. Ye, Mr. Wang and Mr. Han are all there. At the meeting, Mr. Shi Yan may speak on behalf of the cartoonists."

I don't know them very well.

Shen Xin retorted in her heart, but said in her mouth, "Teacher Shi Yan?"

Shen Xin was taken aback for a moment, then remembered that Shi Yan was the author of "Assassin's Diary", and this year... er, last year's Best Long-form Comic Award winner.

"I thought it was Teacher Wang who spoke?" Shen Xin laughed.

"The magazine doesn't want to be alone every year." Wang Wenhong rubbed his nose, "This is also a recognition of Mr. Shi."
