Chapter 241 New Year Is Approaching
The momentum of "Soul of Chess" is getting better, not only the popularity of "ic future" continues to rise, but also the ranking in "Young Leap" has also risen compared with the previous episode, from the 7th place in the 36th chapter to the 37th chapter 6th place.
The five comics in front of "Soul of Chess" also felt the pressure from "Soul of Chess".
Toru Murakami held the small book in his hand, rubbed his chin, and fell into deep thought.
Although "Soul of Chess" has just started to be serialized in "Youth Leap", the results are not bad, and the direction of the story is relatively normal.
He is now going to start thinking about whether to find an animation production company for "Soul of Chess".
Shen Xin, who was far away in China, finally had time to rest after handing over the manuscripts of Chapter 38 and Chapter 39 to Wang Wenhong.
As the New Year is approaching, many people have to go home to reunite with their relatives, including staff in the comics industry.
After bidding farewell to Shen Xin, the three assistants also left the studio. Next, they will also have a 10-day vacation.
After Xi Muhan finished the final exam, he also came to Hongchuan.
She doesn't have any relatives in Yunhai, since Shen Xin is in Hongchuan, she must come over to spend the New Year with Shen Xin.
Made a big dinner for just two people.
For the past two years, they celebrated the New Year with Ji Yinxuan, so they didn't feel lonely. But now, they felt indescribably cold.
The two looked at each other, wide-eyed.
"Should we not call someone over?" Shen Xin suggested.
Xi Muhan didn't make a sound, but she felt that it didn't really matter, just that the two of them celebrated the New Year together...it was really weird.
Usually it is not obvious, but when the Spring Festival is approaching, other people's families are reunited, and the two of them feel a little alone.
Shen Xin picked up the phone and thought about who to contact.
Yan Fei has already returned to her hometown, so it is definitely inappropriate to call her. Moreover, even if she was called over, the gossip of the editorial department of "Manga Fly" had to be taken into account. After all, the two of them were not in the same magazine, and meeting in private would easily lead to misunderstanding.
Shen Xin didn't want to cause trouble for Yan Fei anymore.
So, Shen Xin called Wang Wenhong.
Wang Wenhong has also been busy for more than half a year for "Soul of Chess", so he should call him out for a meal.
When the phone was connected, Wang Wenhong responded immediately, and then said that the editor-in-chief would also come.
Shang Haozhi?
Shen Xin scratched her head, suddenly there was an additional editor-in-chief, would it be inconvenient to talk?
However, since Shang Haozhi said so, he couldn't refuse, he could only say "come here as soon as possible".
"What's wrong?"
Xi Muhan put a plate of sweet and sour pork tenderloin on the dining table, and looked at Shen Xin puzzled.
"It's nothing. Wait a minute, Monk Wang is always coming."
"Really? Then... I put the food in first?"
"No need? It should be soon. Anyway, there are a lot of cold dishes, so at most, warm up the fish soup a little bit." Shen Xin stretched her waist, pulled a chair over, took out "ic future" and flipped through two pages casually.
Xi Muhan sat quietly beside Shen Xin,
"In the past, I spent time with Sister Xuan. This year, she must be very busy, right?"
"Ah? I've heard a little bit about the senior sister. Yang Bo told me. The senior sister's father wanted her to return to Zhenyu Technology, but didn't the senior sister come out and do it alone? So, I didn't want to, so I Put forward two conditions. First, she will only serve as the project leader when she returns to the company; second, all the people who work with her must join Yuzhen Technology."
"The results of it?"
Xi Muhan likes to listen to these "stories".
"Result?" Shen Xin closed the book with a helpless expression, "All were passed."
"Ah? Why is this? Senior sister is too stubborn, isn't she?"
"It can't be helped. After all, that group of people came out with her, and she has to be responsible for these people. Moreover, she doesn't want to be restrained." Shen Xin said with her head raised.
"What do you mean?" Shen Xin was puzzled.
"That's the literal meaning. If she joined Yu Zhen, she would definitely be constrained in doing things, so she would want to do it alone, right? I guess she's having trouble with her family right now?" Shen Xin raised her head and stretched her waist.
"Since it's a family member, I don't think there's any need to make a fuss. After all, an accident will happen at some point." Xi Muhan pouted.
"Oh, but this is someone else's family matter, and we can't intervene." Shen Xin knew that Xi Muhan thought of her parents again, but it's hard for an upright official to break up housework, let alone that she is not an upright official.
Xi Muhan was depressed, and after sitting quietly for four or five minutes, he got up and went to a bedroom on the first floor.
Shen Xin didn't know why, so she lowered her head to watch "ic future". Then, Xi Muhan's voice came from the bedroom, it should be talking to Ji Yinxuan.
As soon as Shen Xin finished reading "The Legend of the Dragon King", Xi Muhan came out of the room, feeling much more relaxed.
"How's it going, did you chat with senior sister?" Shen Xin asked.
"Um."
"How about it?"
"I persuaded her, and she is also planning to have a good chat with her father during the Chinese New Year." Xi Muhan said.
"So fast?" Shen Xin was a little surprised.
He watched "The Legend of the Dragon King" just now, mainly to analyze the storyboard and the structure of the story, and it took about ten minutes. From this point of view... Xi Muhan's speed of persuasion is still too fast.
"This is called 'understanding with emotion, moving with reason'. I will speak out from my own experience. Of course, Sister Xuan has to think about it. Besides, it's not like you don't know that I'm a novelist, and it's easy to make up stories." Xi Mu
Han looked smug.
That's okay too?
The corner of Shen Xin's mouth twitched. He was also an Internet writer before, so why didn't he feel that he could speak well?
Seeing Shen Xin's questioning gaze, Xi Muhan immediately surrendered, his cheeks flushed slightly, "It's just that I called her and told her how I felt, and she said directly that she would have a good talk with her father. You say, Is this my fault?"
"Yes." Shen Xin patted Xi Muhan's head lightly, "By the way, I mentioned novels just now... Your novel volumes should have sold a lot, right?"
"I don't even know these things, and I don't care about me at all." Xi Muhan pouted, and his face changed instantly.
Shen Xin laughed dryly, it's not that she doesn't want to care about some things, but that she really doesn't have the energy.
"From October to now, 500,000 copies have been sold." Xi Muhan pouted.
"500,000 volumes?" Shen Xin was startled.
Xi Muhan is just a newcomer, and only a few issues were serialized in the magazine. After the booklet was published, it sold 500,000 copies.
Although it is true that the sales volume of comics is not as high as that of comics, but the readership is different, and the sales volume of novels is weaker than that of comics. Moreover, Xi Muhan definitely cannot get the resources of the signature author.
Maybe this girl really has the talent to write novels.
"No book signings or other events?"
"No. The editor in charge didn't mention it at all, but just let me learn." Xi Muhan shook his head.
"So good?" Shen Xin was puzzled.
"She said that girls' safety is more important than making money. In the novel industry, although most people are good, they are afraid that some people will have ulterior motives and cannot be guarded against. In short, she only hopes that I can provide manuscripts. I participated." Xi Muhan explained.
"Huh? Your editor is pretty good."
"Well, she is a very reliable big sister." Xi Muhan nodded repeatedly.
It seems that good editors are not the only ones I have encountered.
Shen Xin thought to herself.
Just then, the doorbell rang.
Xi Muhan immediately got up and opened the door. Wang Wenhong and Shang Haozhi stood outside the door with fruit and wine.
