Chapter 233: Shen Xin's Plan
Shen Xin helped Wang Wenhong back to the studio, found a room for him on the first floor, let him sleep, then went back to his bedroom, lay on the bed, but couldn't fall asleep tossing and turning, thinking about the bet all the time things.
The quality of "Soul of Chess" is unquestionable. It can become a palace-level competitive comic, and its level is definitely not high.
However, "Soul of Chess" is not like most hot-blooded comics, a plot can ignite readers' emotions.
Readers can only appreciate the charm of "Soul of Chess" after reading one or several complete plots in a row. The effect of a single chapter is not obvious.
Bao Jiyi's bet is that for three consecutive months, the ranking of the small book and the monthly sales volume of the booklet will be the first.
If it's just one month, Shen Xin thinks there's nothing wrong with it, she should be able to do it just by relying on the duel between Zuo Wei and Taya Yukihiro, but if it's three months, the situation is not so good.
Shen Xin didn't really want to compete with Wang Yunze, he just hoped that the "Bei Diou Chapter" could produce animations to make up for the regrets of being on Earth.
If Bao Jiyi's guarantee can be obtained, then the launch of the "Beidou Cup" should be a certainty.
The more she wanted to make a bet, the clearer Shen Xin's brain became, and finally she couldn't sleep, so she simply sat up from the bed, went to the desk, took out a blank paper, and wrote down the main plot of the following on the paper.
The biggest climax of the entire "Soul of Chess" is undoubtedly Zuo Wei's disappearance. But after Zuo Wei disappeared, the performance of "Soul of Chess" is likely to experience "Waterloo". After all, the most popular character in "Soul of Chess" has disappeared, and readers' emotions will definitely be fluctuated.
After thinking about it, Shen Xin felt that "Zuo Wei disappeared" as the trump card was not the best choice, because the ups and downs were too close together, and Bao Jiyi might change his mind.
At that time, not to mention the Beidou Cup, even the animation in front of the Beidou Cup will be affected.
In fact, before "Zuowei disappeared", there was another climax in "Soul of Chess", which was the episode where Xiaoguang participated in the fixed-stage match and became a professional chess player. If all goes well, he will draw this plot by the end of this year.
In this episode, apart from the tense fixed-stage competition, there is also a small climax, that is, Xiao Guang defeated Hong Xiuying, a child from Han, by virtue of his own strength.
Although there was no big climax like the disappearance of Zuo Wei in that episode, there were still small plots, and it was very likely that "Soul of Chess" would win the first place in "ic future" for three consecutive months.
In this way, the need for some original fixed-stage competitions is particularly critical.
Shen Xin wrote down the process on a blank sheet of paper, and after a rough scrutiny, she felt that there was nothing wrong with it, so she yawned. Only then did he notice that the outside of the window had turned white, and before he knew it, he had stayed up all night.
He walked out of the bedroom and came downstairs, just as he took out a can of coffee, he saw Wang Wenhong rubbing his head and coming out of the room.
"Are you awake?" After seeing Wang Wenhong, Shen Xin took out a can of apple cider vinegar from the refrigerator and threw it to him.
"Hmm...you got up so early?" Wang Wenhong opened the apple cider vinegar and said with a yawn.
"Didn't sleep much...I was thinking about other things." Shen Xin took a sip of coffee.
"Other things?" Wang Wenhong was slightly taken aback, then raised his head and thought for a while, "I remember, you told me something yesterday, which seems to be very important... What is it?"
Well, he forgot about it.
"Brother Wang..." Shen Xin patted Wang Wenhong's shoulder and said,
"It's a mistake to drink, so why don't you drink less in the future?"
Wang Wenhong laughed dryly, while Shen Xin felt a little helpless, and walked upstairs while talking about the bet with Bao Jiyi.
"Oh, number one? Well." Wang Wenhong took a deep breath, "If you want to compete with "The Legend of the Dragon King", you will have to rely on the blessing of animation, and aerial broadcast animation will definitely not work. We need animation to help us pull comics, not to let It's pulling the comics back... I don't know which animation company the magazine society will hand over to produce? I hope it is at least the level of Yingyin."
"Well, I've also thought about the later story. "Soul of Chess" should hit the first place in "Little Book" at the end of the year."
"Are you sure?" Wang Wenhong asked.
"Of course I have confidence, but I also need to look at the performance of other comics - like "The Legend of the Dragon King" and "Diary of a Killer"." Shen Xin laughed.
"There's still time, let's prepare slowly." Wang Wenhong stretched his waist, "By the way, Mr. Shang sent us back yesterday?"
"Do you remember?" Shen Xin smiled.
"Have a little impression. What did he say?"
"Things related to animation... By the way, when he left, he said something inexplicable, 'Children only distinguish right from wrong, adults only talk about pros and cons', do you understand?" Shen Xin asked puzzled.
"I don't know, but it's not hard to guess."
"Um?"
"He probably wanted to say, don't be too simple, and don't argue with others about right and wrong. Sometimes 'adults' don't know what is right or wrong, but compared with 'pros and cons', right and wrong are less important." Wang Wenhong Simple answer.
Shen Xin nodded slightly, and suddenly remembered something, "By the way, Brother Wang, do you know what kind of person Bao Dong is?"
"I don't know, I rarely see him. What's the matter?" Wang Wenhong asked puzzled.
"It's okay." Shen Xin shook her head, "I was just wondering why the editor-in-chief suddenly said this."
"Ah? You shouldn't... Impossible, the results of "Soul of Chess" are good, and it's too late for him to be happy, how could it be a stumbling block?" Wang Wenhong shook his head again and again, "It's true that he is the chairman, but don't forget, he is still the chairman. What about a board of directors? Besides, he has no reason to do that."
"That's right." Shen Xin thought for a while, Bao Jiyi really had no reason to do so.
Wang Wenhong ate breakfast and hurried to the editorial office of "ic future".
After checking in, Wang Wenhong entered the editorial department. Everyone was working in an orderly manner without any sense of slack, as if the annual meeting had never been held yesterday.
Wang Wenhong looked at Shang Haozhi's desk, Shang Haozhi looked at the screen of the notebook, rubbed his chin, and seemed to be thinking about something.
At this time, the deputy editor who was leaning against the wall tapped the table twice, "Old Shang, the plan for this year's rookie competition has been sent to your mailbox. Take some time to check it out. If there is no problem, it will be published in the next issue of the magazine. "
"Um."
Shang Haozhi clicked on the mailbox, but before he could open it, the landline suddenly rang.
"Hello... Bao Dong?"
Shang Haozhi was a little surprised when he heard Bao Jiyi's voice coming from the microphone.
Wang Wenhong also secretly turned his head and looked at Shang Haozhi - yesterday, Shen Xin's bet with Bao Jiyi made him more sensitive to the word "Bao Jiyi".
After listening to Bao Jiyi's words, Shang Haozhi's face changed slightly, and he just nodded without showing any emotion.
"Well, I see, I'll go up now. Please wait a moment."
After Shang Haozhi hung up the phone, he sorted out the materials, stuffed them into a file folder, then pulled out his notepad, and quickly left the editorial department.
"What's going on?" Jia Hui looked at Shang Haozhi who was leaving, not quite understanding.
"Ah... When I came here just now, I saw Chairman Bao and two people get into the elevator together, it seems to be from "leap"." An editor whispered.
"leap"?
The editorial office immediately fell silent.
If someone from "leap" really came, then Shang Haozhi could only do one thing, that is, to recommend the main manga of "ic future" to the other party.
Now let's see which manga he recommends.
The editors in the editorial department looked at each other with wariness in their eyes.
