Chapter 250 Animation

Due to the impact of the "Zhenxi Incident", after the Spring Festival, "Soul of Chess" dropped two places in the first book of "ic future" and fell to No. 6, while it rose in "Youth Leap". One place, came to the fifth place.

When Shang Haozhi first saw this result, he was a little surprised. Also affected by the "Zhenxi Incident", why is "Soul of Chess" ranked higher than "IC Future" in "Youth Leap"?

Afterwards, Shang Haozhi learned the reason from Yokoi's mouth.

After this incident happened, some chess players in District 11 also paid attention to "Soul of Chess". After watching it, they gave "Soul of Chess" a good evaluation.

After hearing the players' explanations, the readers' doubts about "Go" were reduced by half. At the same time, some people who didn't know "Go Soul" also learned about "Go Soul" through this incident. After reading it, they were hooked.

Hearing the explanation, Shang Haozhi also stared blankly, there was nothing he could do.

China is a society of human relationships, and chess players are connected with each other. Although Zhen Xi is a child, Zhen Xi's father is the number one player in Go in China today. If possible, they don't want to provoke Zhen Duo easily.

Furthermore, in Go, there are often scenes where the next gram is above the gram.

As long as there is strength, Chudan can even beat Jiuduan.

They are now supporting "Soul of Chess". Once they are defeated by Zhen Xi, they will really lose their lives.

If you want to eat well in Huaxia, face is also very important.

Therefore, although some chess players disagree with Zhen Xi's words, they will not say them directly.

It's not that I dare not, it's not worth it.

As for Zhen Duo, life is not easy either.

After Zhen Xi came back, he stopped talking to him, and his wife complained to him endlessly.

A week later, Zhen Xi moved away from home and found a house near the Chess Academy. Zhen Duo knew that Zhen Xi needed to calm down, so he agreed to his request.

For this reason, his wife and Zhen Duo quarreled for a long time and almost filed for divorce.

In this case, Qiyuan couldn't make a sound, after all, it was related to the happiness of the family.

The popularity of "Soul of Chess" in China continued to slump for half a month.

It was not until the last issue of the magazine in February that "Soul of Chess" regained some popularity and returned to fifth place.

For this kind of unwarranted disaster, Shen Xin doesn't have much to do. Nine out of ten times life is unsatisfactory, even for him, it is impossible for him to have smooth sailing.

Under such circumstances, the fourth volume of "Soul of Chess" was released. In the 11th district, "Young Leap" released 4 volumes in one go. However, considering the experience of introducing comics in the past, the first edition of each volume is only 50,000 copies.

On March 1, the fourth volume of "Soul of Chess" was officially released.

In China, 70,000 copies were sold on the first day, while in District 11, more than half of them were sold on the first day.

The sales department quickly informed the editorial department of the sales volume on the first day, and contacted the printing factory at the same time.

"Soul of Chess" was reprinted twice in a row within a week before the situation was stabilized.

In China, under the influence of Zhen Xi, the weekly sales volume of the fourth volume was 380,000 copies, while the single-week sales volume of the four volumes in the 11 districts approached 800,000 copies.

When Murakami saw the report brought by the sales department, he was in a happy mood. At the same time, he also began to think about making animations for "Soul of Chess".

Judging from the current trend,

There is no need to wait until the end of March, you can contact animation manufacturers to make animations now.

Therefore, Murakami also released rumors about animation production. He wanted to see which animation companies were interested in "Soul of Chess", and then choose the best ones.

The animation company is also very concerned about such a popular animation as "Soul of Chess", but the relevant copyright of "Soul of Chess" is in the hands of "ic future". If they want to get the production rights, they must deal with "ic future".

However, Huaxia still has a large number of animation companies, and these companies must also be eyeing "Soul of Chess".

Later, news came out from "Youth Leap" that the animation of "Soul of Chess" was jointly produced by Huaxia and a company in District 11. The animation company in District 11 owns the animation market in District 11.

The news was released, which attracted the attention of many animation companies, and soon a proposal was handed over to Murakami's desk.

It is of course a good thing that animation companies are willing to take over "Soul of Chess", but Murakami is not very satisfied with these companies.

"IC Future" found Longyao Animation Company, the company in District 11 had better have such strength.

Seeing that the end of March was coming soon, and Murakami still didn't see his favorite animation company, he was a little frustrated, and planned to choose the most reliable company from the submitted plans.

At this moment, a newly delivered proposal was placed on Murakami's desk.

Murakami, who just went to work, saw the plan on the table, his eyes lit up, he put down his briefcase, picked up the plan, and quickly browsed through it.

"Yokai..."

"Huh?" Yokoi turned his head suspiciously.

"Bring all the materials related to "Soul of Chess" and go out with me."

"Ah? Oh." Yokoi immediately put the prepared materials into the briefcase, followed Murakami out of the editorial office, "Editor-in-Chief, where are we going?"

"Orochi." Murakami asked back.

"Orochi?" Yokoi asked in surprise.

Orochi, also known as Orochi, is a legendary monster in District 11. In some games or animations, most of them appear as villains.

But in the animation industry, this company is not synonymous with villains, on the contrary, it is a very basic animation company, the animations produced are of high quality, and the sales of DVDs and BDs are also very high.

The only shortcoming of this company is that there are too few works produced each year, so the reputation and strength are not directly proportional. Even so, it is still the top five production companies in Tokyo.

If we can negotiate good terms with orochi, "ic future" probably won't say much.

Yokoi took a deep breath, Orochi and Longyao jointly produced... What level should the animated version of "Soul of Chess" be?

With the addition of orochi, other animation companies have completely lost their chances.

After a whole day of negotiations, Orochi and Toru Murakami reached an agreement on the business in District 11, and the next step is to go to Huaxia to negotiate with "ic future".

Shang Haozhi contacted Bao Jiyi immediately after hearing Yokoi's report.

"Huh? Orochi? Come next week?" Bao Jiyi was a little surprised.

"Hmm. Chairman Bao... Is there a problem with Long Yao?" Shang Haozhi said patiently.

"Long Yao? It shouldn't be a problem, right? Let me ask first." Bao Jiyi said quickly.

Shang Haozhi sneered in his heart, as expected, Bao Jiyi hadn't contacted Long Yao yet.

Bao Jiyi immediately contacted Longyao's general manager, but Longyao's general manager politely refused.

"This is "Soul of Chess", and it is still in cooperation with Orochi. It should be very popular when it is produced." Bao Jiyi said seriously.

"Director Bao, we also really want to make "Soul of Chess", but the company has a problem with cash flow. In a short period of time, there is not much money to invest." Long Yao's tone was full of helplessness.
