Chapter 237: Visitors

Even though Shen Xin told the three assistants not to worry too much about hygiene, they still cleaned the first floor.

Shen Xin closed his eyes, took a short rest, and recharged his batteries. At the same time, he was also curious, why did the editor-in-chief of "Youth Leap" come over?

If it is really related to the introduction of comics, why didn't Bao Jiyi mention it at the annual meeting yesterday?

These things can only be asked after Murakami comes.

After resting for a while, Shen Xin took the dip pen and continued to paint. The ink line on the second page was only half-finished. When the doorbell rang, Lu Ning immediately got up and opened the door. There were four people standing outside the door.

Wang Wenhong came here often, and Lu Ning knew him. As for the other three, she saw it for the first time.

"Where's Mr. Shen?" Wang Wenhong asked.

"Paint on it." Lu Ning invited four people into the studio.

Wang Wenhong's face was tense, and he asked, "Did Teacher Shen not rest?"

"No." Lu Ning saw Wang Wenhong frown, not knowing why.

When she came to the studio, Shen Xin had already started working as usual, she didn't know that Shen Xin hadn't slept all night.

"What's wrong?" Shang Haozhi asked puzzled.

"After the annual meeting yesterday, Teacher Shen didn't take much rest." Wang Wenhong said in a low voice.

"Ah? Does your body matter?" Shang Haozhi asked hastily.

Cartoonists usually have a heavy workload. If you don't take care of yourself, your body will easily go wrong.

"I don't know, I'll ask when I see Teacher Shen?" Wang Wenhong didn't have a temper, and saw the three assistants looking at the other three, so he gave a brief introduction.

When Lu Ning and Ma Ning knew that the middle-aged man with a mustache was the editor-in-chief of "omi future", their expressions were immediately stiff. As for Gao Hang, he had never thought of being a cartoonist, but he was a little surprised. Murakami and Yokoi are more interested.

After all, this is a real foreigner.

Murakami looked around curiously, and glanced at the manuscript on the workbench.

When he saw Zuo Wei and Xiaoguang, his eyes lit up, and he really wanted to read the next chapter of "Soul of Chess" again-if the content of the new chapter was completed.

The decoration on the first floor is very simple, except for the six workbenches, three of which are empty, and the manuscript paper is placed. There are also dozens of books on the bookshelf by the wall.

Wang Wenhong brought the three of them to the second floor. At the end of the corridor was Shen Xin's desk, and the ground was still covered with various sketches.

Wang Wenhong shook his head helplessly, he had asked Shen Xin to clean up before coming, but she didn't care at all.

He bent down and was about to pick up the sketches on the ground, but Murakami immediately grabbed Wang Wenhong, and then he bent down to pick up a few pages of drafts and glanced at them.

How a person's painting skills are can be seen from the straw paper. The use of lines, the grasp of proportions, and the perspective effect of characters or scenery can all be reflected.

After reading a page, Murakami was attracted by the drawings on the manuscript paper.

"That's amazing, how big is he?" Murakami asked in surprise.

After Yokoi translated, Shang Haozhi replied: "I just turned 20 years old.

Regardless of his young age, he was the rookie king of Huaxia the year before last. "

"Really? Then he must have had a work before?" Yokoi asked quickly.

He didn't know Shen Xin's name until he saw "Soul of Chess". Now he heard Shang Haozhi mention that Shen was the rookie king the year before last, so the award-winning works must be of a high standard.

Murakami didn't know what was going on, but when Yokoi explained to him, Murakami also immediately expressed that he wanted to see Shen Zheng's upper manga.

"Is there "s" here?" Shang Haozhi asked Wang Wenhong.

Wang Wenhong glanced at Shen Xin, and seeing that he still didn't look up, he pointed to the sofa on one side and said, "You three sit down first, I'll go find it."

Passing by Shen Xin, Wang Wenhong tapped on the table.

Shen Xin looked up in confusion, saw Wang Wenhong with a chuckle on his face, and said with a chuckle, "They're all here?"

"Well, what's your body like?"

"good."

"Do you want to find two more assistants?" Wang Wenhong was a little worried.

"Let's do this for now, and we'll talk about it when we're really busy." Shen Xin put down the G pen, and wiped off the ink on her hands with a tissue.

"Okay, you go there first, I'll go find a set of "S"." Wang Wenhong patted Shen Xin on the shoulder twice.

"Ah? "S"? Isn't it about "Soul of Chess"?" Shen Xin's mind was filled with question marks.

Even if "'s" is introduced, it shouldn't be discussed in "omi future".

"Others want to see it, so I can't stop it?" Wang Wenhong waved his hand, turned and entered the study.

Shen Xin stood up, put on the coat hanging behind the chair, and walked towards Shang Haozhi and the others.

Murakami and Yokoi immediately stood up, bowed slightly, Shen Xin also nodded slightly, and looked at Shang Haozhi with some doubts.

"Sit down first, let's discuss other matters in detail." Shang Haozhi waved his hand.

Shen Xin was just on the side sofa, Wang Wenhong walked over with "'s", and put the book on the coffee table.

Murakami glanced at "S", and Iori on the cover was smiling, looking at him, and immediately attracted his attention.

"This is Mr. Toru Murakami, the editor-in-chief of "Shounen Leap," Shang Haozhi introduced.

Yokoi tugged on Murakami's clothes, and then Murakami withdrew his gaze and nodded slightly with a smile on his face.

Shen Xin blinked her eyes, to be honest, she felt a little depressed.

Mention of "Shounen Leap"

The editor-in-chief, Shen Xin first thought of the notorious "exclusive contract system". He has already traveled through it, but he did not expect that comic magazines are still using the "exclusive contract system" to sign contracts with authors.

The instigator is "Youth Leap".

Although he also knew that Murakami had nothing to do with this system—at that time, Murakami was still very young and might not even exist—but there was no way, who reminded him of this?

"That's right, "Youth Leap" may be serialized with "Omi Future" and "Soul of Chess", and Mr. Murakami also really wants to visit Mr. Shen's studio, so I will bring them over to have a look." Shang Haozhi explained .

Synchronous serialization?

Shen Xin blinked her eyes, her heart beating a few words.

In terms of gathering popularity, the role of synchronous serialization is not comparable to that of a single book.

It's like serializing a novel, updating 4,000 words a day, which is better than updating 280,000 words a week. The gap between the two lies in the gathering of popularity.

Moreover, serialized on "Shounen Leap", it can also compete with other comics in District 11.

"That's right. Although "Soul of Chess" has not been officially introduced to the 11th district, it has already become popular in the 11th district. We can't guarantee that "Soul of Chess" will be popular in the 11th district, but we will do our best to promote "Soul of Chess". " Yokoi said hastily.

On the way here, Murakami told Yokoi everything he needed to explain, and asked him to be in charge of communication. If he couldn't make up his mind, he asked him again.

Therefore, Yokoi told Shen Xin about the situation of "Soul of Chess" in District 11.

"That's it."

Shen Xin nodded.

Now he is also curious about what achievements "Soul of Chess" can achieve in this world.
