Chapter 258 Adjustment

The publication of the 50th chapter of "Soul of Chess" not only made many authors of "ComicFuture" feel pressure, but also caused a lot of waves in "Youth Leap"-"Soul of Chess" beat "Slam Dunk" and won third place.

Among the comics introduced by "Shounen Leap", almost no works have reached this level.

Of course, the reason why Chapter 50 was able to get the third place in "Young Leap" is that the foreshadowing of Chapter 48 and Chapter 49 mobilized the readers' emotions early, and at the time of Chapter 50, reached reached the top.

In addition, Shen Xin's painting skills have gradually coincided with Obata Takeshi's painting style after a year of honing, and the tension of the picture is gradually revealed through Shen Xin's brushes.

Tamagawa Haruka began to study "Soul of Chess" carefully from Chapter 48 of "Soul of Chess", from the storyboard, to the structure of the story, to the dialogue, and finally came to a conclusion-it cannot be learned.

The current plot of "Slam Dunk" is also the climax. The protagonist's team is fighting last year's national runner-up in a 16-to-8 national competition.

Even so, "Slam Dunk" was surpassed by "Soul of Chess" in the small book.

At this time, he remembered Yan Fei's previous point of view. Once the early rhythm is too fast and the climax is repeated, then, when the key game is played, the plot of the game will be discovered, and it will be difficult to make readers more excited.

Now the protagonist's opponent is last year's runner-up, but the reader's mood is obviously not as good as before.

Are readers tired too?

Yu Chuanyao lay on the bed, tossing and turning, unable to sleep, and finally couldn't help but send a message to Yan Fei.

Yan Fei just took a shower, dried her hair, changed into pajamas, and was about to rest, but saw her phone light up, and it was a message from Tamagawa Haruka.

"Mr. Yan, "Slam Dunk" has been surpassed by "Soul of Chess", and it is this issue of "Youth Leap"."

When Yan Fei saw the news, her expression became serious.

"Soul of Chess" in District 11...will it be so popular?

However, in the last few episodes, the quality of "Soul of Chess" is indeed very high. But "Slam Dunk" also has a good plot.

"The plot of "Slam Dunk" is okay, isn't it now competing with the last runner-up?" Yan Fei asked while typing.

"Yes, and the staggered rise in the scores of the two sides should make readers feel excited. But this short book is still surpassed by "Soul of Chess."

Yan Fei knew the problem when she saw this line.

"You're asking me what I'm going to do?"

"Um."

"My suggestion is to go at the current pace."

"Why?"

"This is determined by the tone of the comics. "Soul of Chess" is destined to be difficult to maintain a fast pace for a long time. Therefore, the subsequent plot will slow down."

"is that so?"

Regardless of whether what Yan Fei said was true or not, Yu Chuanyao felt a lot more comfortable after seeing Yan Fei's explanation.

"Well. Instead of worrying about whether you will be surpassed by "Soul of Chess", I think your biggest problem is how to attract readers in key games."

To the point!

This was the most headache for Tamagawa Haruka.

"Teacher Yan, what can I do?"

"Twists and turns... Just a few more twists and turns in the final. Basketball games may be affected by many factors, some of which are unavoidable, such as injuries, referees, or provocations from players and spectators. In each case, There are countless plot developments."

"But if that's the case, the plot of "Slam Dunk" is closer to reality."

"It doesn't matter, the key is how you mobilize the reader's emotions." After sending this message, Yan Fei typed another line.

""Soul of Chess" does a good job in this aspect, you can..."

This line was typed in half, but was deleted by Yan Fei.

A good cartoonist should have his own judgment, if everything depends on the editor, then sooner or later he will be destroyed by the editor.

"Well, I see."

After Yu Chuanyao replied this sentence, he turned over and looked at the ceiling, recalling Yan Feinao's suggestion just now.

...

Starting from chapter 51, the score of "Soul of Chess" dropped again, ranking fourth or fifth.

Shen Xin was also mentally prepared for this.

After the showdown between Taya Ryo and Zama Throne, for a long time, there will be no too exciting plot.

In fact, before the professional chess player exam, there is a rookie match, but the rookie match only has two episodes, so it is not a big plot.

In comparison, what Shen Xin valued more was the "Honinbo" title battle between Ogata Seiji 9th Dan and Kuwahara Hitoshi.

From the chess records used to the background of the game, everything needs to be taken seriously. The duel between these two is a rare high-quality game in "Soul of Chess". If you are not careful, you may be spotted by professionals.

After the duel between the two, it was Hikari Shinto's professional Go exam, and at the same time, it was also the beginning of Shen Xin's fight for the first place in "ComicFuture".

Huaxia's fixed-stage competition is not fixed, usually in the half month of July or August, and the location is not unique, and even two years apart, the competition will not be held in the same province.

Xie Shiqi is going to collect materials for the scheduled competition this year, so some work needs to be completed in advance.

During her absence, if there are problems that cannot be solved, Xie Chengbo will also help to sort them out.

After the college entrance examination, Xi Muhan came to Hongchuan to help with housework while waiting for the college entrance examination results.

The school she chose was Yenching University, the best university in China.

Shen Xin was very worried about Xi Muhan's grades. In the end, when the scores came down, Xi Muhan's college entrance examination score exceeded the previous year's score line by more than 20 points.

He bulged his cheeks, unable to figure out why this little girl was so powerful, and finally he could only comfort himself with "this is talent".

Then, Xi Muhan just needs to wait quietly for the admission notice.

Within two days after the results came out, the editor of "The Lightest Language" contacted Xi Muhan. Shen Xin was a little worried and asked Lu Ning to accompany her.

In the evening, the two returned to the studio exhausted, sat on the sofa, gasping for breath.

"I will never go out at noon in summer in the future." Xi Muhan rested for four or five minutes, and his complexion improved a little.

"So, a dead house also has its advantages." As a senior "house" guest, Gao Hang looked proud.

Lu Ning gave Gao Hang a weak look, and finally sighed.

"How about it?"

"Well, I didn't say anything dead, I just said go back and discuss it with my family." As he spoke, Xi Muhan took out a contract from his backpack and handed it to Shen Xin.

In fact, Shen Xin is also very helpless about the contract, including the fact that the contract signed before time travel has many unreasonable points, but this is the reality. Before the creator really gets up, he is not qualified to negotiate terms with the platform.

This is true for network authors, and so is cartoonist.

The contract Xi Muhan gave him is similar to the contract for comics, the difference is that this contract is not the time of signing, but a work, of course, other income, including booklets, film and television adaptations, adaptations into comics or animation, Xi Muhan has different degrees of division.

Some are similar to sharing contracts in online novels, but they are slightly different.

The sharing contract relies on reader subscriptions, and this contract provides Xi Muhan with a manuscript fee of two hundred thousand words.
