Chapter 257 Pressure

In the 49th episode, "Chess King vs. Xiao Liang ②" got a new record in the number of votes, with 449 votes, surpassing "Hunting Abyss", and won the third place.

Chapter 50, "Chess King vs. Xiao Liang ③" surpassed "Killer's Diary", and with 510 votes, it was close to "The Legend of the Dragon King".

After the small book of "ic future" came out, every editor showed a look of horror.

"Soul of Chess", which usually looks quite ordinary, once it hits a climax, its popularity increases sharply. Even "Diary of a Killer", which won the best long comic award last year, was pulled down by "Soul of Chess".

Wang Wenhong watched other editors discuss the results of "Soul of Chess", but he felt a little tired in his heart.

These people have no idea how much effort he, Shen Xin, and Xie Shiqi have put in to restore the game as much as possible.

Xie Shiqi has to revise the dialogues related to Go in the comics repeatedly, trying to make those who don't understand Go enjoy the fun of Go.

The same is true for Shen Xin. Many scenes are written by herself, and the original manuscripts have been revised repeatedly. Every frame is as good as possible. Even in order to draw the atmosphere of the dojo, he deliberately stayed in the dojo all day, observing the demeanor and behavior of the students.

Not to mention Wang Wenhong, in the past period of time, he broke two pairs of leather shoes and touched four blisters on his feet.

Therefore, behind this achievement is their sweat.

It is a little pity that "Soul of Chess" still did not surpass "The Legend of the Dragon King" and won the first place, and Wang Wenhong also read the name of the next episode. After "Chess King vs. Xiao Liang" ends, the plot of "Soul of Chess" will stabilize again.

In a short period of time, the second place is the best result of "Soul of Chess".

Looking at this ranking, Shang Haozhi narrowed his eyes slightly. The results of "Soul of Chess" proved to others that his eyesight is still fine.

With a heavy heart, Jian Xiaomei handed over three consecutive small books to Ye Hexu, put away the manuscript and name, and glanced at Ye Hexu again, only to see that he was staring at Chapter 50 of "Soul of Chess", Look dignified.

"Are you OK?"

"No." Ye Hexu shook his head, but then fell silent again.

Today's Ye Hexu is not the same as the usual talker.

"What's on your mind?" Jian Xiaomei asked.

"I don't have anything on my mind, I found out... I was wrong." Ye Hexu muttered to himself.

"What?" Jian Xiaomei was a little puzzled.

Ye Hexu took out a setting from the drawer, the first drawing was exactly the monster with human face and animal body.

He handed over these sketches to Jian Xiaomei, "This is the next stage of the plot, you can take a look at it first, and if it really doesn't work, then tell me."

"Huh?" Jian Xiaomei was surprised by the draft that Ye Hexu handed over.

As Ye Hexu's editor, she is well aware of the importance of this setting.

It is no exaggeration to say that the setting of this draft is the best that Ye Hexu can do so far.

"Isn't this the manuscript you are planning to use to confront Teacher Shen?"

"I can't win." Ye Hexu shook his head and said, "You should know that the quality of the last three episodes of "Soul of Chess" is very high. However, this is not the best plot that Mr. Shen thinks. There is no way for these drafts to win "Soul of Chess"... …Jian Xiaomei! I have already lost to Teacher Shen once,

This time, no matter what, I will win! must! "

Ye Hexu turned his head and looked at Jian Xiaomei, "If you admit defeat and surrender, then leave quickly!"

As soon as the words fell, Jian Xiaomei waved the manuscript in her hand and smashed it on Ye Hexu's head.

"Stop talking nonsense and work hard. Didn't you lose to Mr. Shen last time because you were too careless? You might as well make a new setting quickly after talking so much."

Hearing Jian Xiaomei's exasperated words, the corners of Ye Hexu's mouth twitched, "The animation of "Soul of Chess" will be broadcast in October, so the plot prepared by Mr. Shen should also get better in October. At that time, it depends on who can do it." It's the last laugh."

...

When Hu Ke knocked on the door of Shi Yan's studio, he was quite conflicted.

Shen Xin is Wang Wenhong's cartoonist, and Wang Wenhong is a member of his own group. According to common sense, he should be happy that "Soul of Chess" won the second place, but Shi Yan is his author.

The latest issue of "Assassin's Diary" was pulled down by "Soul of Chess". Not only that, the recent plot of "Assassin's Diary" is a bit boring. If this continues, it may be surpassed by "Hunting Abyss" and the subsequent comics.

Whether this question is big or small, in short—Mr. Shi Yan, you are tired.

In the studio, the assistants were all bowing their heads to paint, while Shi Yan, who was wearing a bun, held his head in his hands and looked at the drawing board in front of him expressionlessly.

"Teacher Shi, "Killer's Diary" has been overtaken by "Soul of Chess" recently." Hu Ke walked to Shi Yan and whispered.

"ah?"

Shi Yan turned his head to look at Hu Ke, his face was full of haggardness, the stubble above his lips and chin was about two millimeters long, and it was obvious that he hadn't tidied it up for a long time.

"What's the matter with you?" Hook looked at Shi Yan in surprise.

"I can't think of it... I can't think of a new name." Shi Yan's eye bags were blackened, and his eyes were bloodshot, "After Benfan Xiaoji defeated the Benfan Demon King, I can't find a new entry point... Hook Teacher, if this is not the case, the publication will be closed next week, so let me take a break and look for new inspiration."

"Do you know what you're talking about? "Soul of Chess" has surpassed you, and "Hunting Abyss" is also eyeing your position. If you want to rest, you can, but you have to remember, you will be stepped on by newcomers!" Hook said sharply.

"Eh?"

"Before, you were under one person and over 18 people in "ic future". From now on, you may be under 3 people and over 16 people. No... under 10 people, even if you are cut in half, you can't say no must."

Shi Yan turned pale, and then covered his stomach.

"Mr. Hook, my stomach hurts."

"Persevere! Teacher Shi—you have to know that what readers like is an author who never stops updating, a cartoonist who will work hard even if he has to enter the operating room next moment! An author who updates casually will be favored by readers." Abandoned." Hook put his hands on Shi Yan's shoulders.

"Is that so? You mean, if I persevere, readers won't abandon me?" Shi Yan looked up at Hook.

"No." Hook shook his finger, "Readers like authors who can persist and create interesting cartoons, just like Mr. Shen and Mr. Wang."

"Teacher Shen and Teacher Wang?" Shi Yan's eyes were bright, and he immediately raised his hand and said, "I have an idea."

"Really? Sure enough, I saw you right." Hook excitedly patted Shi Yan on the shoulder.

"Well, Xiaoji's next opponent is the Kiwi King, who is insidious and cunning. His special skill is 'bewitching', which can make his subordinates lose their minds." Shi Yan quickly drew a sketch of a character on the draft paper, Turning around, he handed the sketch to Hu Ke, "Mr. Hu Ke, what do you think?"

"..."

Kiwi? Bewitched?

Hook looked at the kiwi king in his hand with black lines, and compared it with his own stubble, it was really similar.

Mr. Shi... May I ask if the prototype of the "King of Kiwi" is me?
